what we bring

Title: What We Bring
Rating: PG
Genre: Modern
Wordcount: 1129
Warnings: Very vague allusions to child abuse.
Remarks: origfic_bingo prompt - family. Still trying to get these guys to mesh. Either I haven't got Don's voice down yet, or I've got it down perfectly and he's just waiting for me to realise this. Also I'm hoping one day the missing bit will come to me; I still find the ending rather jarring.
