Welcome to Hickstead, home to both Seven Oak Stables, and Blue Acre - two rival stables. Both offer opportunities for their clients to reach the highest level of excellence. Each stable differs from the other, so choose wisely and never forget, loyalty is everything... Meanwhile as the stables battle it out, there's trouble brewing at the university. Be careful, if you don't pick a side you may get caught in the cross-fire...

someone had just left their child? ranger couldn't understand how. no matter how often he saw the after effects of a parent not coping, it never ceased to amaze him that it could still happen. of course if it didn't, he and logan wouldn't have had chance come into their lives, but it was still hard to think about a parent just walking away. he could never do that with chance, no matter what happened. he lifted his eyes to match logan's gaze and he was almost sure he was thinking the same thing he was. he reached his hand out to rest it against logan's forearm gently and then he looked over at flynn.
he knew how busy the nurses were, how hard they worked and how while they probably thought the baby was adorable, they didn't really have the time to try and settle a baby, even though he knew they'd be doing an amazing job at trying. "if you want, bring him in here. we'll keep an eye on him and try and get him to settle." he said as he looked back at logan, hoping he wouldn't mind the impromptu offer but it felt like the least he could offer. he might have been useless to do much else at the moment but this, this he could do. he didn't think there would be an issue with policy, he and logan had been approved foster parents of chance before they'd adopted him so legally they could look after him.

It was tough, Logan could understand why people did it, though he could never condone it. There were options, surely, in such a town as Hickstead, and if anything it made him feel sad that they believed it was their only choice. In all honesty, he hadn't expected this kind of thing to happen anymore, not with how open minded the world now was about pregnancy - unwanted or the result of something traumatic. Sometimes he wondered if him and his siblings lives might have been better off with abandonment instead of the upbringing with their parents, but he could say that at least there had always been a roof over his head, a friend to talk to, food on a plate (even if that might come from a brother or sister over a parent). He caught his partner's gaze, knowing Ranger enough to be aware he was thinking the same things, wondering how this could happen, and how awful it was. He placed a free hand over the one Ranger placed on his arm and gave a gentle squeeze of support.
"if you want, bring him in here. we'll keep an eye on him and try and get him to settle." If he was surprised by Rangers offer, he didn't show it. It was odd, he hadn't been thinking it but now it'd been said it made sense to him, and he was only too happy to. He'd handled so many baby nieces and nephews at this point that he felt like a more than qualified babysitter. Flynn hesitated, and he knew she would likely not even remotely consider it if it hadn't been Ranger in the room. She knew him, she worked with him, he was competent and a part of the hospital staff. Logan thought they still might have to plead their case before she relented and gave a nod, the lines of her face a little tenser than usual. "Alright, but if anything gets difficult or you need anything please call." Logan nodded, "We will," his words were a solemn promise. He didn't want to give Flynn any trouble at all. She nodded, then disappeared. It felt like both a long time and no time at all that she returned, a little bundle in her arms. The baby was so swaddled in blankets he couldn't see the little face at first, but there was no screaming for the moment. "What's his name?" Logan asked as Flynn replaced her arms with his and the baby suddenly settled in his hold. "He doesn't have one yet." Flynn answered and she hovered for a moment to make sure everything was okay before she left.
