A Real Family

Successful lawyer Russell Bennett struggles with three issues -- he’s alone, having lost his immediate family to cancer; he’s also susceptible to the disease; and he’s infatuated with his doctor, who represents everything he could ever dream of in a partner. Dr. Peter Wilson has realised his dream of providing a safe and caring medical space for the LGBTQ population. But he’s conflicted between his personal interest in Russell Bennet and the need for professional conduct. But when Russell’s test results come back, the results are sobering. The two decide to confront Russell’s cancer treatments together. But it isn’t happy ever after yet. A well-meaning friend arranges a reunion between Russell and his estranged father. Soon after, they meet two young orphans who’ve had their own tragedies. With the adoption process ongoing, they all have to adapt to their new family dynamics. Then they adopt another child whose paternal grandparents take legal action to gain custody. Will Russell and Peter be able to weather the storms as they struggle to build a real family?

Chapter 69

Bernice had been waiting and spoke with Mrs. Ellis who sat with a younger teenaged girl waiting for her appointment with Mary. Both Cody and Maria bolted from the office, laughing, with a smiling psychologist behind. Maria noticed Mrs. Ellis and ran over to give her a hug. Cody followed close behind.

Cody looked at the young woman with Mrs. Ellis and said, “If you haven’t been to visit Mary before, she’s awesome. Me and Maria got two dads, and it is so cool. If you only have one, that’s cool, too. I’m Cody and one of our dads is a doctor here.”

The girl looked at both kids and a reluctant smile crossed her lips. “Hi, Cody, I’m Rebecca. I have parents but they work far away and I don’t like it at home with the housekeeper.”
