Sean's pov
A phyciatrist? Why does he need meds? What the hell? I thought

I walked into a beautiful white building. The walls inside were painted a soft green with a white and gray tiled floor. Mark and Jace were in the waiting room. When Jace saw me he ran over and gave me a hug. He looked very nervous.

"Hi Dad!" He said excitedly

"Hello baby boy. How are you?" I asked him

"Nervous." He said simply

"Yah. I can understand that. You know, daddy is nervous too." I told him knowing that he called me 'dad' he was probably very scared.

He giggled a little and went back to his colouring book. I walked over and sat next to Mark.

"How was his therapy appointment?" I asked

"Shae said that he definitely has anxiety, but uh... She wants to have him closely looked at for BPD." Mark told me looking at the ground

"So, meds for anxiety... Anything else?" I asked

"Mood stableizers." Mark said rubbing the temples on his head

"It'll be okay babe. Maybe they'll help." I assured him

"Yah. Hopefully. She also wants him to go to this anxiety support group thing." Mark told me

"That sounds so stupid." I said giggling

"Really though." Mark said

"Jace McLoughlin?" Someone called

Jace jumped up and looked over to the man that called his name.

"C-can I bring my dads with me?" He asked

"Of course. My name is Doctor McLoughlin, but you can call me Patrick." He said

"That's my dads last name." He told the doctor giggling

I already knew this person. He's my brother.

"Dude, when did you move down here?" I asked giving him a hug

"About a year ago. Look how big you are!" Patrick said suprised

"We'll talk later, right now we have little Jace here to deal with." I reminded him

Patrick walked us over to his room and closed the door.

"So, Jace. Shae says that you have an anxiety disorder. Can you explain it to me?" Patrick asked

"I uh... I just get really anxious a lot. I have a lot of panic attacks. I skip classes at school because I'm to scared to go to them." He trailed off

"Okay. Cool. Now what about your mood? Shae says it's all over the place and very intense?" He asked

"That's saying it lightly." Jace replied

"Okay. Why don't you go play with some toys or write on the white board while I speak with your fathers?" Patrick asked

"Okay." Jace said going to the other side of the room

"So, how old is Jace?" Patrick asked

"15." I said

"Is he on any medications?" Patrick asked

"Yah. Testosterone injestions. Bi-weekly." I told him

"Alright. Would you two agree that he has unnecessary and large or out of proportion moods and mood swings?" Patrick asked us

Mark and I nodded out heads.

"Definitely." Mark said

"How often do the panic attacks occoure?" Patrick asked
