Gabriel gave Deaton a little smile, trusting him completely. It would've disturbed Scott to see such trust from a kid he didn't know, but given Gabriel's background he had all the right reasons to be trusting of Deaton. He was grandpa and had always treated the family well. As far as he knew, they were related regardless of technicalities. So instead of asking any more questions, he just let Deaton do what he wanted to kept playing with the puppy until Peanut looked ready for a nap. In truth, Gabe started looking like he could use one too. Even if he had healed, he had been in an accident today along with randomly time traveling.

"Oh okay," Scott said, sighing with relief. It made him frown to hear himself. Why was he feeling protective of someone he barely knew? This whole situation was very strange. As far as he was concerned, Deaton could take care of the boy until they were ready for Stiles to come home. Then it would be up to discussion on where the boy went from there if back to his own time wasn't an option yet. Scott didn't know it, but Gabe was hoping Stiles would want him. Even if it was illogical, the boy wanted his mommy.
