Hope you enjoy either way!



Erica's POV:

I was not expecting to find Luke on my doorstep as I left for work this morning. Already having a bad day this isn't making it any better. Barely conscious he tells me not to call the Academy, more like begs and passes out. I might be a nurse but there is no way I can sort this out. I know someone who might be able to help, Sang, but she only met him a few days ago and while I know they had a connection, but I haven't heard anything from Sang or Jess since they left on Sunday. I don't know if she would let him into her safe space. But if I can't call the hospital, for whatever reason, then she is his only hope, or he is going to die.

By academy I assume he means his team as well, I work at an academy hospital, of course I know what goes on there, as much as Kota thinks he kept everything hidden from me! I can't even lift Luke by myself. I have to call her and hope! The stupid device that Jess and Kota got me for Christmas a few years ago is sure coming in useful now.

"Hello, professional laundry service, how may I help you today?" Sangs voice asks when I call the number she gave me, password, dammit what do I have to say. Oh right.

"Do you wash Egyptian cotton by hand? It needs to be in a very HOT temperature!" telling her that I'm here and I really need her help. I was given the instructions when Jess went to stay for the first time. The phone clicks and I realise that the first phase is automated, I haven't had to call before.

"Mum, what's wrong?" Jess asks me, I tense glancing at Luke, praying.

"How well did you both get on with Luke, because his currently bleeding out on my doorstep after telling me not to call the academy!" I hear Jess gasp then her yelling on the other end of the line then silence.

It must have gone terribly wrong, when he followed them, so much so that they aren't going to help. I drop the phone, after whisper yelling into it a few times, and start taking off Luke's shirt, trying to see the damage. I drag the stethoscope from my bag and listen, there is definitely fluid in his lungs, the cut across his forehead is worrying as well.

Dammit, I need your help Sang, I might be a good nurse, but this is way beyond me, I am going to have to call someone! I pick up my phone but there's a huge crack across the screen from where I just dropped it. For the first time in years, I want to swear. Stupid device why is it so breakable?

Then as if by magic there's hoof beats behind me, I turn and for a second it genuinely looks like a goddess is ridding towards me. Long blonde hair streaming behind her as she gallops across the road on a grey horse. Then Sang's at my side, as she throws herself of the horse and drops to her knees, taking control without saying a word, her hair which I have never seen down before pooling around her on the floor. The horse snort and she turns to it briefly jerking her head, it follows the path rounds to the back of my house.

Her eyes scan over him at high speed as her hands run across his chest pausing every so often. When I meet her eyes, there is an expression I have never seen on her before, pure determination, it's so different to her original scared and the more recent addition of mischief that I'm taken aback for a moment. Sang grabs her phone out of a practical pocket in her denim jacket (that she must have added herself) and sends off what looks like three texts.

"We need to get him inside!" her voice is very quiet, bare more than a whisper, but I can hear it. Moments later she's very gentle wrapping her arms under his back. I quickly move to his feet and together we carry him in though the still open front door.

"Put him on the kitchen table!" I say to her and she nods laying him gentle down before she starts working on clearing the fluid from his lungs.

"I think he has a slight concussion and as far as I can see most of the injuries are surface ones...apart from the broken rib, which has punctured his lung!" I gasp knowing how serious that is. "I need your computer and access to all the bandages you have! I think his collar bone might be snapped as well, his radius is almost certainly broken," she pauses looking confused, her voice still very quiet, "they are defensive wounds most of these, almost certainly from a large group!" she pauses again and looks at me before asking, "you don't think," I see where she's going and go to contradict her. Then I stop, they have been acting super odd for the last few months.

"No, no way!" I say finally, but I know that my voice lack conviction, "I'll get you the computer and bandages!" I mutter leaving so that I can think about what she just said. I'm back in about three minutes, handing her the bandages and my very unused laptop, another Kota/Jess present, she's already set up a way to drain the fluid out of his lungs.

"Perfect!" she mutters still almost silently and wrapped his ribs, then she takes the laptop and starts typing at high speed, "Phew they haven't looked here yet, I'm just going to change it to look as though you out, and your phone just went for a drive as well!" she's not really talking to me. I go to talk back when Luke starts coughing. She's instantly at his side again, muttering this time too quiet for me to hear. I'm about to ask her to repeat when a fist pounds on the door. "They're here!" she says and hurries to the door, I follow.

Jess is the first one, if I'm not mistaken that's a horse and cart sitting in my drive now, either that or I'm having a really strange hallucination! Nope that's definitely a horse and cart! Jess quickly passes Sang a bag before heading back to the new horse and leading her around the side of the house. Sang races back to the kitchen. What is going on? I'm going to close the door thinking that Jess is who she was waiting for as she's back in the kitchen working again. That's when a car screeches to a halt outside my house, a very familiar car with two very familiar people in.

"Dr. Roberts? Ben?" I gape at them both, my boss and the man I've considered my best friend since the day in the hospital, despite the fact that the boys think we are more I could never see him like that. They glance at each other, another pair that can have those conversations, great! "You know each other?" I ask, well duh, come on Erica they just arrived at the same time and had a conversation with their eyes, kind of obvious! I want to face palm, something Jess taught me about a few weeks ago.

"Yes..." Ben, says carefully, he glances at my boss, who nods before he adds, "this is my boyfriend!" he looks at me carefully, trying to gage my reaction. I don't think punching the air and yelling yes was quite what he had in mind, but he over looks it and heads towards the door, "Okaaay, Erica can I go see my nephew and ... can I see him now?" he asks looking past me.

"Yep, I need to see the patient and my..." Dr. Roberts pauses then hurries though the door after Ben. Sang! No, I can't fail her again, but I'm too slow to stop him going into the kitchen, the reaction from Sang is not what I was expecting at all. She flies at him straight into his already open arms, my mouth literally drops open in shock.

"Hi Dad P!" she whispers into his chest his arms tight around her as whispers in her ear. "I need your help, but you can't tell his team! I think they did this to him!" she says still whispering, something is definitely wrong with her throat, Phil senses it instantly even as he agrees to her demands, they both go straight to Luke. Phil glancing at her throat worriedly.

"What happened little bird?" Ben asks Sang, coming up and giving her a hug similar to Phil's a minute ago

"Hey Dad B, I don't know! He arrived on Erica's doorstep about an hour ago, when I texted you both!" she goes back to working with Dr. Roberts, he injects Luke with something, and the blond boy stops moving around so much, so I assume it was a sedative. Sang pours something else into his mouth as Phil sets up a blood bag. And an IV drip for Luke.

"Wait a second you know each other, you're her parents?" I ask shocked. They both turn to Sang who blushes.

"You didn't tell her about us?" Ben asks sounding slightly hurt, "Why?" Sang gently strokes Luke's hair off his face before looking at her 'dads', they are both already staring at her.

"I didn't really know how, and no offence but I didn't trust Erica, I did tell Jess!" she defends, "I didn't know that you trusted Erica or even knew her, I would have told her I knew you sooner, but it's not like she even knew you both knew each other!" her words rush over each other and her eyes fill with tears, both Ben and Phil rush to comfort her muttering, Ben ringing her back into a hug.

"Shh, I'm sorry, I know you always have a reason!" he whispers.

"I'm so sorry!" she whispers.

"Shh," Phil repeats whipping her tears away, before grinning cheekily, "we forgive you, come cook us dinner, this old fart seems to have lost his edge! Plus, we haven't seen you in months!" he gestures at Ben as Sang giggles, nodding. Ben protests loudly and the two men dissolving into a good-natured argument, as Sang checks Luke's IV and blood bag. The argument ends in them asking Sang who her best dad is to which she mutters something about them both being the best, at that the argument stops and they both kiss her on the cheek. She sends them a smile and her fingers curl around Luke's. Ben follows the arm of his I assume adopted daughter to where she's now holding his nephews' hand.

"So... this is a new development!" he turns to me accusing and Sang blushes again but doesn't let go of Luke's hand, his fingers have tightened even while unconscious around hers. "You did not tell me that they had got that close! You also didn't tell me that her name was Sang! Or that she is my adopted daughter!" his voice is teasingly hurt as he looks at his sleeping nephew. Phil laughs slightly.

"I didn't want you to be able to find her!" I mutter, the grin I get from Sang is worth it, she glances up from her computer for a moment to give it to me, then her head dips back down and her free hand continues to type. Suddenly she lets out a cry and pulls her hand from Luke's tears running down her face. His hand flexes once then drops to the table.

"No..." her voice is even weaker "... I'm so sorry, no this is all my fault!" Phil rushes to reassure her that it isn't her fault, but she just pushes my laptop towards us. On the screen is a video, Jess comes in just in time to see North accuse Luke of cheating on someone he wasn't going out with before Brandon's fist hits Luke and I have to look away.

"Why is that your fault little bird?" Ben asks confused, Sang still crying tells us what she wrote in the note. "Wait my nephew got you pregnant? Is that why we haven't seen you in months?" Ben sounds annoyed, Jess starts laughing at those words as Sang blushes brighter than I have ever seen.

"No!" her voice breaks on the word.

"You got him pregnant?" all of us stop and stare at him, giving him a moment to work out what he just said, "What? Modern science and all that, I could happen!" he protests.

"Do you need a chat on the birds and the bees etc?" Phil asks teasingly, just as Luke groans, Phil goes back to Dr. Roberts mode instantly, "We need to get that arm set before he wakes up, but I don't know how to see what's going on without an x-ray!"

"I can do it at my house!" Sang mutters

"Oh yes this house that we still have yet to visit!" Ben mutters in mock anger, Sang giggles.

"I told you it's my space and you will try and change it if you come, and I really don't want to argue about it with you!" Sang defends passionately.

"Okay, okay, I assume we aren't going to get to see it today either?" Phil asks before Ben can say anything else. Sang shakes her head muttering nope under her breath.

"I'll go get the carriage!" Jess says in Sang's direction, Sang flashes her a quick grin before taking Luke's hand again.

"So... about this pregnancy..." Phil asks, cue Sang's blush returning.

"I wasn't pregnant, Samira's mum was a cheetah and Jeffries was a wolf, they both died during delivery!" her eyes fill with tears again, "They came from that zoo, you might have heard about it on the radio a few weeks ago?" I do vaguely remember something about it, a huge private zoo, raided by the police who found several hundred mistreated animals. Sang's still talking and I quickly tune back in, "I got a few of the pregnant ones and a couple of others, but these two where practically dead, I'm lucky that I managed to save the babies at all! Luke helped to deliver them when he stayed the night on Sunday!

"Stayed the night?!?" Phil and Ben both explode out, me not far behind them, a second later I start doing a victory dance. Everyone looks at me oddly even as Sang rolls her eyes.

"Yes, then they imprinted on him as well as me, so he spent the night in the stables with me and Jess!" She finishes her explanation to proud expressions from her dads.

"You trusted him just like that?" Ben queries, "when did you meet him?"

"Sunday! And before you say anything, I did extensive research and knew that he was related to you," when Phil looks as though his about to interrupt again, her voice raises the tiniest amount, "And I tested him!" when her eyes narrow on her parents they both shut their open mouths, "Good," she states, "So can you help me get Luke into the carriage now?" she says it as a question, but is by no means one. Instantly they are there lifting Luke as gently as possible, I hurry to open the doors so that they can get though easily.

The three of them lay Luke in the back of the horse carriage with Jess in the driving seat, I can see Sang's confidence wavering. The demined look is now fighting fear. The horse she arrived on nudges her shoulder and she leans against him. She smiles at both her fathers before standing on one wheel of the carriage to throw herself on to the horse.

"You ready?" Jess asks glancing at where they have strapped Luke down in the back, Sang nods and waves to her fathers.

"Amo-vos aos dois, muito obrigado, e ambos precisam de falar mais com a Erica! Por favor, não diga à academia onde está!" she says to them both, the only thing I catch is my name as they both blush, looking guiltily at me. I knew she spoke a ton of languages, but this is the first time that I heard her use one. The two men glance at me before nodding.

"Nós te amamos muito, passarinho, cuidar uns dos outros!" Sang blushes sightly at Bens words, but gives him a smile and a nod.

"Vamos sempre apoiar-te, querida! A família primeiro e tu e o Luke são absolutamente da família!" Phil adds as Sang turns the horse around.

"Thanks Dads" she calls her voice leaving her. Both the girls urge their respective horses off across the road. For the first time, apart from the regular lorries, I see the gates opposite open, and the two girls ride though. A lot slower now they have an injured passenger in tow.

"Right, you two have a lot of explaining to do!" I say turning to the two men, eyes narrowed they look at each other.

"Shall, we have a cup of tea?" Phil says mildly, Ben lets out a tight laugh and the tension breaks.

"Yes, we can plot how to get rid of Kayli and get the others to meet Sang!" he says rubbing his hands together like an evil mastermind. Phil gives his boyfriend an odd look

"How about you tell me about you two first!" I exclaim laughing slightly, they both look slightly embarrassed.

"That may have been something of what Sang was saying to us!" Ben mutters quietly, at this I laugh slightly, even if it's tinged with worry about Luke and usher them into the house. Both of them glace at the now closed gates over the way worry shining in their eyes. Philp wraps an arm around Ben and mutter that Luke is in the best care and protection that they can give him. Then I squeeze booth their shoulders, it's time to talk, and perhaps as Ben said...

To plot...
