Harry and Scott close Louis door behind them, they both sigh.

"The poor kid" Scott says.

"I'll keep him longer if I have to Scott" Harry says, and Scott nods In understanding.

They walk back to the doctors desks and see Kimberly waiting for them, talking to Drew and Edward.

"Kimberly" Harry says, she turns to him with a smile.

Harry and the boys have known Kimberly for years, they work on cases like this together.

"Harry, Scott" she smiles widely, they hug hello and as they pull back Kimberly's smile fades.

"So Louis Tomlinson, you found his file?" Harry asks,

"I did, he's been in foster care for two years, although when I looked at his files closely, I found some discrepancies" Kimberly says.

"Like what?" Scott asks.

The boys all listening intently.

"Well, for one, the Bolton's, were never foster careers prior to Louis and they've never taken anyone else in since, which isn't normal. They have turned down every other child when asked to care for them" Kimberly says.

"Why would they do that?" Drew asks, its very strange.

"And another thing, I found out that they went to court to adopt Louis, they are on a trial as you may call it, they have another six weeks before it goes through officially. The weird thing is though, the judge awarded them half of Louis trust fund left by his parents, it was quite a hefty fund. They were awarded half of it last year, they will get the rest when Louis is formally adopted" Kimberly says

"What? That's not even legal? Louis looked homeless when he walked in" Harry says.

"Well, Noah, their son, attends London Elite, so good guess to where the money is going and why they want to keep Louis" Kimberly says.

"How much are we talking Kim?" Edward asks.

She sighs,

"2 million pounds" she says.

"What? And Louis won't see a cent of it" Harry says sighing in realisation.

"What can we do?" Scott asks.

Wanting to help Louis as much as possible.

"Well, I need to file a report against the Bolton's, which will halt the adoption, I need to make alternate accomodation arrangements for Louis in the mean time. Louis needs to testify and we need to then find him a permanent housing spot" Kimberly says.

"How long will the case take? How long until you can put those arsehole Bolton's behind
Bars?" Harry seethes.

"Well, it could take months H, by then Louis money will be gone and they may not even be convicted, they might just be denied any more fostering rights" Kimberly says sympathetically.

"But that kid has been sexually and emotionally, not to mention physically abused for two years straight" Scott nearly yells,

"I know Scotty, I know, all we can do is take a step at a time, let's get Louis into alternative care first, it's such short notice the only place I can get him into is South Centre"Kimberly says.

South centre is a youth house, over crowded with homeless youths, it's no place for Louis.

"We'll take him" Scott, Harry, Edward, Drew and Jax all say At the same time.

Kimberly looks taken aback,

"What?" She asks surprised with a slight smile.

"We will take him, please Kim, please get us over the line" Harry says pleadingly.

"Haz, you'll have no problem getting a yes from the courts, you're all on a hefty sum of money and can provide the care Louis needs but, this could take months. It could be messy and not to mention, Troy Bolton will probably do everything possible to make sure that adoption goes through" Kimberly says.

"All the more reason for him to be with us, we can keep him safe" Scott says.

Kimberly smiles,

"Okay, I'll get the paperwork organised, try and keep him here another day while I get it through?" Kimberly says.

The boys nod.

"If you need me, I'm happy to take Louis for counselling" She smiles.

"Thanks Kim" the boys say.

She smiles and leaves to get the paperwork through.

"So, well, I guess we are all on the same page then?" Edward smiles.

The boys all smile.

"I'm glad, there is something about that kid, I want to protect him" Scott says,

"Haz? You okay?" Drew questions as he sees Harry in thought,

Harry sighs.

"I'm attached, I have feelings for him, I know it's wrong, God I can't help it though, shit" Harry says.

The boys all look at Harry shocked before they break out into smirks.

"Haz, it's okay, we support whatever happens okay, whatever feelings you have" Edward says.

He's so glad the boys are supportive, but Harry knows he will get a ribbing later.

..

Louis wakes from a nightmare, he sits up in bed and is sweating, he hears a loud beeping noise and realises he's still in the hospital.

"It's okay kiddo just relax" Scott says from beside Louis bed.

Scott finished his shift at 7pm and has been sitting next to Louis bed for the past five hours, Harry flitting in and out as he works his double shift. The rest of the boys headed home. Scott changed into sweats and a tee, wanting to be next to Louis.

Louis is so worked up, he's so scared, in his dream, Troy found him at the hospital and tried to kill him, stabbed Harry and Louis thought it was so real.

"I....I...I'm scared.....he's going to kill me" Louis says as he tries to get out of bed.

"Darling calm down, no one is going to kill you" Scott says gently.

"No, no , please I need to leave" Louis cries.

He grabs the IV drip and rips it out, he's panicking.

"Okay kiddo, its okay" Scott says as he hits the call button twice, indicating an emergency.

It takes Harry all of three seconds to barge into the room, three nurses trailing him, he holds them off though when he sees the state of Louis, he closes the door and he moves towards the bed.

"Hey Lou, it's okay kiddo, you're safe" Harry says gently

Louis is a little hysterical and Scott looks to Harry worriedly.

"Bad dream, thinks Troy's coming to kill him" Scott says.

"Shit" Harry says,

"Louis take some deep breaths for us" Harry says,

He ends up getting on the bed and pulling Louis against his chest, Scott watches on, understanding Harry's protectiveness, his attraction. He has it with Edward and would do anything for him.

Louis starts to calm down in Harry's arms, Harry circles his arms around Louis waist and whispers comforting words to him as he calms down.

Scott sits on the side of the bed, he strokes Louis hair off his forehead.

"Good boy kiddo" Scott praises.

Louis relaxes against Harry, feeling safe in his arms, he's tired and sore and feels awful.

"Please make it stop" Louis whispers brokenly.

Harry and Scott look towards each other, feeling heartbroken, they wish they could fix this all for Louis.

"You know you're safe here kiddo, I haven't left your side and someone will be with you at all times okay" Scott says.

Louis looks to him.

"You stayed with me?" Louis asks in disbelief.

"Of course, Harry is still on shift so I'll stay until he finishes, then he will take over" Scott says smiling slightly.

"I'll keep you protected kiddo, I promise, no one will hurt you" Harry says.

Louis relaxes on Harry's chest and takes a deep breath.

"I'm going to have to put they drip back in for you though kid" Scott says.

Louis whimpers, he hurts all over.

"It's okay, shhhhhh, I'm right here, I won't leave while Scott does it okay" Harry tells Louis.

"Promise?" Louis asks cutely.

"Promise kiddo, just relax okay" Harry says.

Louis does and Scott gets everything ready.

"You know, I'm a lot better at this than Harry is" Scott chuckles and winks at Louis.

"Ohhh here we go, he won't let me live down the one time I missed the vein in medical school, over 10 years ago now" Harry explains to Louis.

Scott shrugs smiling widely.

"Well, Ive never missed Lou" Scott says and Louis giggles slightly. It's only a small timid sound but Harry hugs Louis closer and Scott and Harry smile widely at each other.

When Louis drip is back in Scott gives him some more pain relief and Louis is soon fast asleep again.

Harry reluctantly has to leave Louis for a while, he still has patients to see but after his shift is finished he has four days off and he plans to spend every second with Louis.

Scott and Harry plan on introducing Louis to Edward and Drew tomorrow morning and letting him know about the new housing arrangement, they just hope Louis is okay with it all.

The next time Louis wakes Harry is beside him stroking his hair, there is a women with long brown hair and blue eyes, she's in a skirt suit and looks professional, she's smiling at two other boys as they all talk animatedly.

Louis locks eyes with Harry who smiles at him.

"Morning, sleepy head" Harry says, he's changed from his work scrubs and lab coat to sweats and a hoodie, he wears a backwards cap and looks hot as fuck.

"Sorry, did I sleep to long?" Louis asks worriedly,

"No sweetheart, the drugs we are giving you will make you sleepy, it's important for you to sleep as much as you can, so you can heal" Harry says as he smiles, his hand still stoking through Louis hair.

Louis notices the other three people in the room, have their attention on them, he looks over shyly.

"Lou, I'd like you to meet Some people, is that okay?" Harry asks gently.

Louis nods his head and sits up slowly, Harry moves to the bed beside Louis.

"This is Doctor Drew, and this is Doctor Edward, they both live with Scott, Jax and I, they also work in the ER with us" Harry says.

"Morning kiddo" Drew smiles kindly.

"Hiya Lou" Edward says brightly,

Louis smiles shyly in response.

"And this is Kimberly, she's our good friend and head of Child Protection Services" Harry says and at that Louis eyes widen.

"It's okay, I promise she's on our side" Harry says.

Louis swallows hard and looks at Kimberly innocently.

"Are you going to send me away" Louis asks.

The boys hearts catch at Louis innocence, what this poor kid has been through is horrific.

"No sweetheart, I'm not, I have some news for you though, are you okay if I sit?" Kimberly asks.

No one ever asks Louis what he wants and he's a little taken a back by Kimberly's warmth and respect.

Louis nods as he fiddles with the blanket, prepared to hear what fucked up home he's going to be sent to now, or he might even be sent back to the Bolton's

"Thank you honey, now, first things first, we need to take pictures of your injuries so we can put them as evidence in our case against the Bolton's, you won't be going back there and we need to arrange temporary housing and permanent relocation for you" Kimberly says.

Louis nods slightly, he's just glad she believes him at least.

"I will also need a detailed statement from you of what has been going on in the last two years, I'm so sorry honey but we need it as soon as possible" Kimberly says as Louis looks at her, his eyes glaze over with tears, he doesn't want to go through the trauma but he knows he has too.

Louis again nods as he wipes a tear away.

"As for temporary housing, this could be as little as a month to as long as six months, now Harry and the boys have asked for you to be placed with them" Kimberly says carefully.

Louis looks towards Harry and the boys, they are all smiling widely at Louis. Louis can't believe it, what an earth would these boys want with Louis, why would they do this. Louis doesn't understand, he's worthless and doesn't deserve this,

Tears stream down his face,

"You'd do that for me?" Louis whispers unbelievably to Harry.

Harry holds back his own tears as he pushes Louis fringe behind his ear,

"Of course Louis, we said we'd protect you and we meant it" Harry says,

Louis leans in and hugs Harry tightly, Harry returns the hug easily and kisses Louis on the side of the head.

When he pulls back, Harry is beaming at Louis.

"We are also filing to the court for your trust fund to be locked, although it means you can't access it, the Bolton's won't be able to either" Kimberly says.

"It's all gone anyway, they spent it all on a house and cars and Noah, there isn't anything left" Louis says his voice husky.

"There is still half the trust fund that's being held until the adoption goes though" Kimberly says.

"What adoption?" Louis asks.

The boys and Kimberly look at each other,

"The Bolton's applied for adoption Louis, nearly a year ago" Edward says gently,

"But, wha? They hate me why would they do that" Louis asks and he's getting upset.

"You mean you didn't know?" Drew asks.

Louis shakes his head upset,

"Nnnooo, they, no...please don't let it happen I don't want to live with them, I can't go back there" Louis says.

"I promise you're not going back there, I will do everything in my power to get this overwritten and pushed out of court, with your statement and the evidence, I'm hoping to have the Bolton's behind bars for what they've done to you" Kimberly says.

"Do they, do they know I'm missing? I didn't come home, Troy will be......he'll be so angry at me, he's going to find me and hurt me, he said he would kill me if I ever escaped. I'm so scared" Louis says.

In that moment, they all vow to kill anyone who tries to harm this precious boy.

"They've been notified this morning that you've been removed from their care and that there is a case against them for custody. They have no idea where you are though or where you will be going, we promise" Kimberly says.

Louis relaxes a little.

"So I can leave now?" Louis asks,

Harry chuckles,

"Your blood pressure is still very low and you're going to be sore, I would really like to wait a few more hours, get some food into you, before we let you come home" Harry says.

Home, Louis thinks, he can't remember the last time he felt like he had a home..

"Is that okay with you?" Edward asks.

Louis shakes his head no and he gets chuckles in response.

"Mmmm, well, I guess, if you promise to rest, take the pain relief and eat as soon as we get home, I think I could bounce you. Okay with you?" Harry smirks.

Louis smiles and nods, the boys are smitten and excited to take Louis home and that he even wants to come home with them
