"So you brought them with you?"

I grin at Arthur as the twins were dressed to work out in the hospital gym. There was an indoor and outdoor one; and we got lucky with the outdoors.

"Of course - they wanted to build up muscle with you." I tell him, and I look at my arms. "I need to be doing the same."

"No, you need rest. Not work out - no stress on body." He shook his head at me, and before I could respond I see Finn entering the gym.

He had on workout clothes and I found myself pissed off. I rush to Arthur as I narrow my eyes at him, and he looked sad.

"What I do?"

"You know what you did. Why is he still here?" I hiss quietly, and Arthur pouts.

"So I need good reason to send him away. He not...do anything to me. He say you attractive - he not lie-."

"Yes, but he was an ass to me!" I whisper-yell, and Arthur frowns. This only reminded me that I forgot to tell him about Finn's behavior towards me. Got all horny...completely blanked.

"What he do? You not say a word."

"I know, it is my bad. He-."

"Arthur I suggest you go on the treadmill and start working up that strength again." Finn exclaims happily, and we all look at him. He just goes to Arthur and grabs his arm, taking him to one of the treadmills.

I see Ava and Isabella look on in shock, Ava the first to look back at me.

"Does he like our dad?" She asks me quietly, and I shook my head. "He likes you?"

"Debatable." I sigh, and I hand them both dumbbells. "Increase your arm strength with these. These are two pounds - can you handle it?"

They both roll their eyes, making me snort as I go to Arthur now. I see Finn setting the time and speed as Arthur starts to run on it. Once he does Finn looks at me, smirking.

When he walks towards me I sneer at him, only for him to just smile.

"I'm still here." He shrugs, and I snort.

"Yes, so it seems to my misfortune and great displeasure." I smile at him.

"Oh? Such great words - you must really dislike me." He pouts at me, making me become disgusted.

"Good - I didn't have to tell you once again. You're smarter than I thought - you look dumber than you look you know." I say kindly only for him to shake his head at me.

I glance at Arthur and saw him looking at me. I know he couldn't hear our conversation, but maybe that's for the best.

"Shouldn't you be taking care of your patient? Why are you bothering me?"

"I just don't understand why you don't like me? I said you were attractive-."

"I don't care what you say. The only one who can call me attractive is my family - Arthur. I don't...like you. You want to rehash the past...as if you had anything to do with it." I sneer at him, walking away from him.

Though for him to follow me to the bicycle machine, I knew he was doing too much.

"Arthur is your patient. Stop bothering me." I snap at him, and he smiles.

"I'm not done talking to you. I need you to understand something-."

"There's morning to understand! You're behavior is pissing me off. I came here with the twins for Arthur, not to meet you and become your friend. I don't want to talk to you or get along with you. Let me just say it - I don't like you." I snap at him as I was getting more and more angry.

I glance at the twins and saw them playing with other equipment. Though when I look at Arthur I saw he wasn't on the treadmill anymore. That confused me greatly because I didn't know where he went.

"I can tell. I'm just saying that I can bring David and Peter to you - I'm still good friends with them. We can patch this up quite easily-."

I suddenly see Arthur wall from behind me, resting his hand on Finn'a shoulder. The way he looked down at him said volumes...intrigued me.

Finn looked up at Arthur with a awkward smile, but Arthur wasn't smiling.

"Why you bothering mon amour?" He asks him in annoyance, and Finn shook his head.

"I am talking about David and Peter. I truly meant no harm. William was the one attacking me with such harsh words - it's insane." Finn chuckled, but when Arthur didn't move his eyes from him he stopped.

I end up grinning because Arthur wouldn't take his side. Why the hell would he?

"I know...William was rude in past, but you come here - bring up past when we want peace. So cruel and mean. You not so kind, not so thoughtful. William try to change - he do so. When camelote come and bother mon amour...it anger me so much." ( worthless goods ) Arthur says quietly to Finn who looked at him in confusion.

I on the other hand was amused. Found myself smiling because Finn clearly didn't know French. He doesn't know that Arthur called him 'worthless goods'.

"What did you just call me? Camelote?" ( Worthless goods? ) He repeats, only for Arthur to shake his head.

"Secret. You hear what I say?"

"Yes I did."

"Then au revoir." ( goodbye. ) He murmurs in irritation, and Finn looked away. That's when he backs away and goes to sit on a bench far from us.

It was funny to me as I look at Arthur, seeing him look annoyed. When he faced me again I smile in content to this side of him.

"He bother you too much?" He asks me, and I nod. "I sorry. It not easy thing to get off treadmill. I good now."

I nod, looking around Arthur. I saw Finn looking kind of nervous, but maybe...this is my chance...?

"What if I take this shot?" I ask Arthur, seeing him raise his eyebrows at me. "He said he could bring David and Peter to me... I could finally apologize. Should I really pass this up? What do you think?"

Arthur shrugs, looking over his shoulder at Finn. When he gestures for him to come towards us Finn was very hesitant. Though he did finally make his way towards us.

"How about we make a deal?" I say to him, and Finn frowns. "I do want to meet David and Peter. This could be my chance...to apologize. I don't want to go about this negatively anymore, so if you really can bring them to me... I won't decline."

I get off the bicycle, looking at Finn as he glances at Arthur. When Arthur smiles at him - he was quick to looking back at me.

"Okay...deal. I can arrange it as soon as tomorrow, actually." Finn grins at me.

"Good-."

"If you want to apologize to...everyone - I can arrange that as well." He smiles even larger as if he had some moronic plan. There was something sinister in that smile.

Made me nauseous.

"Fine - I be release today, yes?" Arthur asks Finn now, causing him to respond with a nod. "Then give me number. You message spot, we meet at spot. You try any of the thing...I be angry. Not good be angry."

Finn nods, but he didn't look like he was taking him seriously. He did end up giving him his number, and I actually hoped I could do this.

Almost had me optimistic.

"Okay...you go away now." Arthur grins at him - only for Finn to nod. He walks away now and Arthur leans sits on a bench.

We see the twins rush up, Isabella sitting beside Arthur. Ava stood beside me as they all seemed happy to finally be with us.

"So, you are going to apologize to your past friends?" Ava asks me, and I nod. "That's nice. Don't you have a feeling that it'll go bad?"

"I mean...I don't know. Who'd mess with this beautiful face?" I hum, smirking at her as she smirks back.

"A lot of people dad." Isabella snorts, causing me to pout. "Dad, how about you? Are you going to go with him?"

I shook my head, not finding that necessary. Though I see him nodding quickly as if he already decided he'd come.

"I come with you William. You not go alone...I not trust Finn." He looks at Finn, and I snort.

"Is it the green eyes?"

Arthur smiles, but soon shakes his head.

"I not sure. All I know is that I go. You not dissuade me from this."

"Don't worry, besides...what could they do to me? They can't match up to me." I flex my arms, but the twins faces scrunch up at me. It made me feel kind of weak now.

I know I lost weight and all, but still...

"There lot they can do. What you mean?" Arthur shook his head at me as if I was silly. "Let us hope...they good and not the rude. You be kind...you get kind back."

I look away from him because that was iffy. The difference between him and I is that people don't like me, but they love him. There could be two different types of reactions...

"Well...we'll have to see - huh?" I ask him, and he nods. I look back at Finn as I saw him on his phone - making me wonder what he was doing.

Hopefully this goes right. That's all I'm trying to do - is make things right is all. I hope they can see that...

____next day____

"Do you think there good intentions?"

I look at Arthur, seeing the crowd at the location Finn told me to meet at. There were some people I recognized, but not a lot. 

"I mean...I don't know. You're here - so if anything bad goes, just come for me." I tell him, and he nods. That's when I finally get out of the car. 

When I close the door everyone happened to look at the same time. It was a little awkward as I walked up to them. Somehow making my way into the very middle.

When I saw David and Peter it was interesting to me. I was actually...kind of happy to see them. Finn was there too and I saw some people holding cups, but I didn't think anything of it.

"William..." David says, and I nod. "We're all here, so...what do you have to say?"

I glance at Finn, causing him to nod as if now was the time. I mean...if this is the time - I'll gladly take it.

That's when I take a deep breath, grinning now. Knowing now was the time to do this, and I wasn't going to avoid it.

Not this time.
