truealphascott | AU: Scott/ Stiles/ Gabriel

"Well too bad, I'm using it. It's a short time and you can still be where you want to be there with your.. with the kid. Just stay there till I get back," John ordered with a scowl. So much for having a good time.

"Now where exactly is Deaton's house?"

~~

Gabriel took a bite of sausage and nodded. "Yeah. That's how they have Bella." He looked at Deaton, finally a little confused over what the vet was missing. "She's two in three weeks. We're having a party and cake and stuff."

Stiles frowns when his dad does that. So he goes a bit quiet instead. He planned to stay at Deaton's for a bit. After a moment he gives his dad the address to the vet's place.

~~

It wasn't uncommon for two werewolves to have a human child. He can't help but smile though," I bet she's a handful. If you want I can help you pick something out for her. What does she like?"

John had a feeling he'd be needing Deaton's help on this one. He wanted Stiles' butt to be parked for a while until he had his medicine and John quit having anxieties that his son might've died. The jeep had been scary to look at- not that he was going to admit any of that to Stiles.

Fortunately it didn't take long to get to the house.

~~

Gabe looked at Deaton interested in this idea. "Like what kind of stuff? Like the princess fork?" He wasn't sure what Bella was into besides.. "She likes bubbles!"

Hell, Stiles was afraid to ask about the jeep. He didn't want to worry his dad, but he didn't want to be stuck in one spot either. That just sucked. But he hasn't said much since he told his dad where Deaton lived.

~~

Deaton dutifully listens," We'll have to get her scented bubbles then. Along with bath bubbles."

Gabe was about to respond to that when his attention perked up seconds before Peanut lifted his head. They both looked to the door, listening as the car pulled into the driveway. With big eyes, he looked back at Deaton almost afraid to ask who it was. "Mommy?"

Deaton smiles," They released him early so it probably is. We just have to keep him sitting down taking it easy. You want to make him a plate? I bet he's hungry."

Gabe was almost bouncing with excitement as he got down to get another plate. That left Deaton to come answer the door when John knocked. "What's your pain level?" He asked as they waited. He was going a little overboard with the fussing over Stiles and knew it. He just couldn't get himself to stop doing it.

While Deaton's gone, Gabe can't find the plates so he just pushes his plate over to an empty spot. He likes to share.

The youngest McCall could've asked and Deaton would've told him where the plates were. He hadn't realized that he hadn't taken out enough but that was neither here nor there as he went to go answer the door.

Stiles looks over at his dad and gives a bit of a shrug," From 1 to what?" Though really he couldn't give his dad too much of a hard time," Right now? Right now a six but I'll live."

That would've made it to easy. Instead, he just poked his head around the corner of the doorway into the kitchen to see who was at the door. He was anxious to find out if a) it was mommy and b) if mommy actually looked like he wanted to see Gabriel. The fear of rejection was just waiting to consume him, but his shred of hope kept it from doing so for now. He wasn't terribly noticeable as he was just peeking around the doorway.

John sighed. "I'll try to hurry back," he said, feeling bad that Stiles was hurting. When Deaton answered the door, he greeted the vet warmly.

Deaton greets John and gives a smile," I'll keep a good eye on him, sheriff." Then he looks back at Gabriel then at Stiles," Gabriel and food are waiting for you if you're hungry."

Stiles gives a bit of a nod and kisses his dad's cheek before heading inside, moving over to the table," Hey."

Gabriel watched Stiles intently, trying to read each motion. He wanted to run up and hug him, but his fear kept him planted where he was. Nervously, he stood back letting Stiles walk to the kitchen past him. Reminding himself that Stiles was in pain, kept him from immediately bursting in tears when Stiles didn't just hug him and kiss him and tell him everything would be alright.

"Hi," he said softly, but he found himself unable to move closer to the table. He just watched Stiles from where he was.

Stiles wasn't trying to give Gabe issues or make him think that he didn't like the kid. However, he didn't actually know him. So when he does finally sit down he can't help but give the younger McCall a warm smile. "Hi."

Sitting down was better than standing up any day," Why don't you sit down with me and tell me all about yourself." Things that his older self would already know, but he wasn't his older self.

It wasn't Stiles' fault that Gabe was reacting like he was. He was a shy boy and had grown up with some self-esteem issues. He was small and gay and shy. Those added up to insecurities at school and among the family. Those who spent time with him and encouraged him, like Ethan, he was warm to but some of the others made him insecure.

The invitation finally brought him to move cautiously from the wall to the table. He noticed Stiles hadn't sat down at the spot with the plate so he timidly pushed it closer to him. "Are you hungry?" He asked. The plate had obviously already been eaten off of. There was still plenty left though.

If Stiles had known about the insecurities he'd of probably been upset. Not at Gabriel, obviously, but at those that made him feel insecure. He may not know the kid that was sitting at the table with him but deep down he knows he'd take on the world for any child of his.

"Starving. Hospital food sucks," Stiles says with a chuckle. Though when the plate is pushed towards him he gives a small smile," If that's your food, big guy, then you should finish it."

The funny thing was Stiles would get upset about that. There were just ten plus people in the house and sometimes things happened that weren't intended. And Myles just rough housed and teased harder than Gabe could handle at times. It happened. They loved each other and knew it so that was the best any parent could do.

Gabe smiled sheepishly. "But I made the eggs and there aren't any more," he explained. "Can we share?"

Stiles can't help but chuckle slightly because that sheepish smile reminded him so much of Scott. Hell, he's still curious about the wolf thing but isn't sure how to ask or isn't sure he wants to really know. Though deep down he really does want to know. Especially when he knows it's not a choice he'd make.

"We can share, I don't mind. Tell me a little about you, Gabe." Though he's curious," How many kids do we have?"

Gabe grinned at the compromise and offered his fork. They shared those things at home so he didn't think anything of it. "Just ours or Derek's too?" He asked, excited to be talking to his mom. He doesn't give much time for Stiles to respond before he's just telling him all of it. "The first litter was Myles, Caleb, Dia, and Junior. Then it was me, Laura, and Ally. Derek's is two, Bella."

"I have a green and yellow parakeet named Gus from the mouse in Cinderella. But now I have Peanut, he's over there." Guess who just got a new puppy without asking? It was almost visible how Gabe would look as a puppy wagging his tail like crazy, just so happy his mom was there.

"I know that I wanted a big family, but wow," he says giving a smile. Seven kids. Him and Scott had seven kids. However, he cants his head a bit at the idea of Derek having a kid," Who's Bella's mommy?" After all, he didn't know who Derek was with in the future or anything.

"The parakeet isn't afraid with wolves in the house?" he asks, honestly curious. Though he looks over at the little runt and smiles before looking at Gabriel," Those the only animals we have at home?"

"Yeah, but it's okay. I like it," Gabe said, as though his opinion on the family size was the only one that mattered. He didn't mean it like that, of course. "We live in a big house in the woods, so there's lots of room."

"Isaac," he answered about Derek's daughter. "He wants more though." He shook his head about the pets. "No, Laura just got a puppy it's got black and brown. Junior has a turtle but you're not supposed to know that." Then he frowns, realizing he just tattled. "Don't tell him I told you, okay?"

"Wait, Derek and Isaac are together?" He asks canting his head a bit before taking a bite of the food in front of him. "And what big house in the woods?" Far as he knew, there wasn't one. Well, there was the burned down Hale house but that was it. Or at least he figured that it was.

"Why wasn't I supposed to know about the turtle?"

Gabriel nodded about Derek and Isaac and took a bit of banana. "Isaac's the mommy," he explained around his food. He took a minute to swallow before answering. "It's Uncle Derek's family house. Mamaw and Papaw live in our old house. It was where Scott grew up."

The part about the turtle had him giving him a blank look. "I don't know." Junior had just told him not to. "It's in a shoebox?"

Isaac was the... He still didn't really understand how that all worked. "So they rebuilt the Hale house then." Though he frowns slightly because the idea that his dad gave up their house, even just to move in with Melissa kind of bothered him.

"Do you know where he found the turtle?"

Parrish and Lydia needed somewhere to live! In Gabe's opinion, it had worked out great for all of them. He didn't look like 'the Hale house' registered as what they called the home now, but he didn't correct Stiles. He didn't know what that frown was, so he guessed Stiles wasn't happy where they'd moved to.

"In the woods by the creek. He likes fishing and his frog died," he said. "I don't think you know about the frog either. But no, my bird is okay because you helped me pick it out." Basically Junior just liked catching random things and keeping them as pets for a while. He and Ron Weasley had some things in common.

Stiles was still not all that happy about the idea of his dad leaving their place. There were far too many memories there and just, no. Far many memories that dealt with his mother and he couldn't picture nor stand the idea of anyone living there.

He shakes his head and just eats but makes sure that Gabe eats some more too," Well, animals like that live in the wild. If he wants one he should ask. I wouldn't say no to it. I've always wanted an animal growing up."

Not everything could be how Stiles wanted it to be. There were positives if he would look at them and not the negative. Besides, the decision was John's.

Gabe shrank just a bit back. He didn't want to argue with Stiles, so he didn't. However, the idea of Mommy being okay with a bunch of pets might change once there were seven children to contend with. Myles was at least half the stress by himself. Either way, Gabriel didn't have a say in it. He was just trying to stay invisible as much as he could.
