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?

A Real Family

Cody made the call and Grandpa agreed to come to the rescue. Peter got started on breakfast. Russell would get soft boiled eggs and dry toast. The rest of them would pig out on an omelet, the likes of which only Dr. Peter Wilson could make.


Once breakfast was done, Russell went back to lie down and Cody got to work on the puzzle that was once a truck.


Grandpa joined them soon after. He looked at the all-in-one screwdriver. “I wondered where that got to. I forgot that I loaned it to Cody.” Boy and Grandpa grinned at each other and did a high-five. Peter rolled his eyes muttering something about thick as thieves.
