"Are you serious? You want me to move in?" Dan asked looking over at Phil. The two were cuddled together in Phil's bed.

"I know we just started dating but you know you won't have to worry about rent or anything.." Phil said as he ran his fingers through Dan's hair. Dan closed his eyes melting into Phil's gentle touch as he played with Dan's hair. Usually he hated when anyone touched his hair but he didn't Phil doing it. "And it also gets lonely here.."

Dan thought for a minute, it was really early into their relationship and also with their rough past. But he trusted Phil, the way he took care of him after that abusive client and then told him he's not going to make him do any jobs anymore and instead he will help him in his office. "Alright, I'll move in.. But I need to get some important things from my apartment."

Phil smiled and leaned in to kiss Dan softly. He placed his hand on Dan's cheek deepening the kiss. He could tell that Dan was trying to hold back as he probably didn't want to want to make him uncomfortable so Phil knew he was the one who would have to take a step further. He gently pushed Dan back so he was laying down on his back. Phil hovered over him kissing him passionately. He reached down grabbing the hem of Dan's shirt pulling it back and kissing him more passionately.

"Phil, are you sure?" Dan asked. A small moan escaped from his lips as Phil kissed down his neck to his collarbone.

"Mmhmm.." Phil murmured stripping from his own shirt and jeans and started tugging at Dan's pulling them off.

"So I guess you want to take control." Dan laughed wrapping his legs around Phil's waist pulling him closer. Phil smiled before leaning down to kiss him again.

First thing in the morning, Dan went back to his apartment to get the box of his father's things. Luckily, Caitlyn was at work so he didn't have to deal with giving her an explanation. He didn't know what to say to make her understand, he appreciated her concern but he knew she wouldn't listen to anything he had to say if he defended Phil. So right now he thought its best if he just explains later, now is just not the time. After getting everything he needed he went back to Phil's place, he knew Phil would be working right now he decided to take the box to their room. He was stopped when someone bumped into him.

"Oops sorry.." A little girl giggled.

"No no I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going." Dan apologized putting his box down and helping the little girl up.

"Are you Phil's new boyfriend?" The little girl asked. "My mommy told me about you."

Dan knew that this must be Victoria's daughter, Sophia. "Yes I am, my name's Dan." He smiled extending his hand for for her to shake.

"I'm Sophia." She smiled.

"I see you two have met." Victoria said as she approached them. "So are you moving in Dan?"

"Yeah I just got back from my apartment, I needed to get some things that I just couldn't leave behind."

"Do you need help with that box?" She asked politely.

"It's alright, I've got it." Dan smiled picking it up.

"I'll see you around, I need to drop Sophia at her friends place." Victoria said grabbing her hand. Sophia smiled and waved goodbye to Dan before following her mom.

Dan took the box to his and Phil's room. He sat down on the carpet and opened it to make sure everything was in the box. That just turned into him sitting there for an hour looking through a photo album he found with pictures of him with his father when he was a kid.

"Hey when did you get back?" Phil asked coming inside.

"Like an hour ago, I didn't want to bother you while you were working." Dan said looking up at him.

"It's okay, I don't have much work today. What are you looking at?" He asked curiously. Dan patted a stop on the carpet for Phil to sit down.

"These belonged to my dad and the only things I have left of him." Dan explained showing Phil the pictures.

"Is that you with him? You look so cute." Phil smiled making Dan blush. He looked through the box pulling out his father's military jacket. "He was a solider?"

"Yeah, h-he was shot when I was 15.." Dan whispered. He felt a lump in his throat, his eyes started to water up.

"And you don't talk to anyone else from your family?"

Dan shook his head. "My dad was the only one who loved me. Everyone else hated me. The last straw was when I dropped out of University, they wanted me to become a doctor but I was into acting. Didn't go as I planned.."

"My mom and brother are the only ones who love me, my uncle's alright but he's scared of my father.." Phil sighed. "My mother died a few years ago and my brother is in the military so I don't see him that much."

"I'm sorry.." Dan whispered looking down feeling bad. He could tell that this was probably something Phil didn't want to talk about.

"It's okay. I need to introduce you to my brother though, I told him about you." Phil smiled. "He's really anxious to meet you, I'm going to talk to him tomorrow."

"I'd like that." Dan smiled.

"Oh I wanted to ask you something." Phil said standing up holding out his hand for Dan to take. "I help out in this home, its like an orphanage with little babies who aren't wanted by their birth parents. Would you like to come with me today? I help out at least once a week."

"That's really sweet of you. And of course I'd like to help." Dan smiled taking Phil's hand. "Who knew the man who runs a prostitution business has such a soft spot for little children."

"I'm only stuck in this because of my father. I hope you don't have the displeasure of ever bumping into him." Phil sighed.

"Is he the one who also makes you give out and sell drugs?" Dan asked curiously remembering Phil had provided him with them on his first day.

"Yeah.." Phil sighed. "But lets forget about him and lets go."

Dan could feel his heart melting at the sight of the cute little babies. But someone stood out to him the most, a little girl who looked about two years old. She was sat at a little table coloring. She had curly brown hair and green eyes.

"That's Lexie." Phil said noticing Dan looking at her. "She's the oldest one here, she never settled in any of her previous foster homes. She's really shy and doesn't talk to anyone that much."

Dan walked over to the little table sitting down next to Lexie. "That's a beautiful drawing Lexie." He smiled looking down at the paper covered in colorful scribbles. She smiled back at him shyly.

"Color?" She said quietly giving Dan her pencil crayons and a sheet of paper wanting him to draw with her. Dan smiled taking the pencil.

Phil stood across the room helping out the manager, Lily, with an infant. "I've never seen Lexie so happy with anyone before." She pointed out.

Phil looked up at Dan who was coloring and smiled. "Dan has his ways, its impossible to not love him. He has a really sweet and gentle nature."

"He'd be a really great Dad." Lily smiled.

After a couple of hours it was time to put the kids to sleep and time for Phil to get going. "It's time to go now babe."

"Can't we stay a little longer?" Dan asked.

"We'll come back soon I promise. Plus its time for this little one to have her nap." Phil smiled ruffling Lexie's hair who just giggled.

"I'll see you soon Lexie." Dan smiled giving the little girl a quick hug. Lexie gave Dan one of her drawings before he left.

"She really seemed to like you." Phil smiled looking at the drawing in Dan's hand. They were driving home, Phil decided not to take the limo and just take one his other cars without his driver. "I've never seen her so happy before."

"I like her too, she's such a sweet little girl, I wish we didn't have to leave.." Dan sighed.

"Don't worry I promise we'll go back really soon." Phil smiled. He heard his phone go off and looked down to see a text from Victoria, his smiled instantly when he read it.

"What's wrong babe?" Dan asked.

"My father is coming in an hour." Phil sighed. "Just to check up on the business and workers.."

The worry in Phil's tone made Dan worry too.

"When he gets here I want you to stay in our room." Phil instructed. "I'll tell you when he leaves but until then you must stay in our room okay?"

"Okay.." Dan nodded.
