An AU where Will is a doctor. He has a child under his care, and a very worried father, Lucas. Just short of Christmas Day, Lucas’ son passes away under Will’s care. Will’s heart breaks when he sees Lucas crying, grieving the loss of his son, and it ruins his entire
Christmas season.
Until on the evening of Christmas Day, there’s a knock at his door. He opens the door, and it’s Lucas, holding a roasting dish with a turkey and some vegetables in it.
“I made dinner.” He says. “To thank you for taking care of Marcus.” The smile on his face
is wobbly, tears already lining his eyes. “So if you don’t have any company or you’ve got some time...” Lucas shrugs, his gaze dropping to the turkey on the tray. Will can’t help but smile and step aside to let him in.
“I thought I was going to spend another Christmas alone.”
Spoiler alert: the doctor ends up falling in love 🥰
Adam has been in an orphanage for the last 16 years, going on 17 years. Pretty much since birth. He’s hard working and has dreams of going to college and getting a degree, getting a job, and living his life. By this point, hes accepted that
