tattoosonthistownWho? Sawyer Bennett, Finlay Bennett, and Walker Chester
What? A doctor's opinion
Where? Karla and Walker's office
When? Sunday afternoon
Sawyer would be a liar in a big time way if he told anyone that things were going great with him and Fin. And honestly, who could expect them to be? Fin had been literally taken from his home by a court order, sent away from the only family he'd ever known, to live with a guy who, for all intents and purposes was a stranger who'd donated sperm to his creation. Sawyer and Georgie had once shared a relationship... the sweetest relationship possible between a straight woman and a closeted gay man, and despite it all, Sawyer did love her and and always would. He loved Fin, too. He loved him in that way that parents loved... the way that you loved someone because they were a part of you, and you didn't need to know anything else to know that you loved them. But he couldn't expect that of Fin. Fin was the son, not the father, and there was a difference in a parent's love and that of a child. Fin needed to know his dad and understand why he should love him before he could just do that.
The fact that the kid was falling over on him, losing balance, but not really per se passing out was seriously stressing Sawyer out, though. There was always the possibility that the kid had somehow managed to get here with drugs, but it was doubtful with going through airport security and all that. Which would mean he'd either managed to get his hands on something here in New York already, or maybe there was something else that was really wrong. He wasn't a new father in the traditional sense, but he was new to raising a teenager, and a teenager who'd been in trouble was even a different aspect again. Still, after the blowup fight that they'd had, and the way that Fin's eyes had showed hurt and betrayal even as he was telling his dad again that he wasn't on drugs after he fell over this time... as if he were just expecting to be called a liar all over... a part of Sawyer wanted to give the poor kid the benefit of the doubt.
Which was why he was here at his GP's office. Karla was his doctor, but she was out today, as she and her partner took turns on the weekends to allow their patients limited appointment times on weekends if they couldn't manage the time off work during the week. So they'd be seeing her partner, Walker Chester, whom Sawyer had never met, but had been assured by Karla that his son would receive the same level of care from Walker that he would've from her. So he sat in the exam room next to Fin quietly as they waited for the doctor. "Do you still feel like you might pass out on me?" Sawyer asked, trying to talk to the boy instead of making things worse.
