truealphascott | AU: Scott/ Stiles/ Gabriel

No one knows why half the things in Beacon Hills happen. It's not exactly something they like to put on tour guides advertising the place.

Scott had gone to work right after his class, which left Stiles to drive home on his own. He would've been able to leave sooner but he'd gotten detention. This one had been totally Scott's fault and he'd apologized at lunch, but he hadn't been able to get Stiles out of it. So when Stiles left the school building there wasn't too many around. Just as he was reaching the parking lot, a bright white flash blinded him for a moment. There was a thud and a groan of pain and then everything went right back to normal. Except now there was a blonde kid laying on the ground not ten yards from him. He was still and unconscious, but there was something remarkably familiar about his face. He wore a coat and scarf, even though it was May and he had he didn't have anything with him besides that.

"Yeah sure," he said in agreement. "We have Deaton's car so you can do it on the way." They didn't need to ask for Scott to come over and visit but probably to stay for a few days yes. He was getting an idea about how to handle the pet store too. He hoped Stiles would go with his compromise. His bestie could be a firecracker when he wanted to be. It made him grin just thinking about it.

Gabe helped his puppy gently get in the carrier where it would be safer in the car. "He won't think he was a bad doggie will he?" He looked worriedly at Stiles.

He gives a slight nod and gets up grabbing his medicine, putting it in his pocket. He moves over as Gabriel puts Peanut in the carrier and kisses his temple," No, buddy, he won't think he's a bad dog. The carrier will just keep him safe while he's in the car."

Kissing the top of Gabe's head he pulls the phone out and calls his dad, asking him if Scott can stay with them for a few days. Then again... he's not really thinking, they should be asking Melissa too.

While Stiles calls his dad, Scott got Gabe and Peanut into the car. He even got the door for Stiles- something that they really never did for each other.

As he settled in the driver's seat, the call went to voicemail. John was in middle of giving someone a speeding ticket. He'd call back in a few minutes.

Gabe found all kinds of new smells in the car to keep him busy. Scott was a little distracted by it as he drove. It wasn't something a normal kid did, but Gabe wasn't normal. He was only doing it since no one was around but family.

Stiles doesn't think much of it when his dad doesn't answer the phone. When he does call back, he talks to him and gives a bit of a smile before looking over at Scott before looking in the rearview mirror seeing Gabe smelling everything and can't help smiling.

"Dad said you could stick around for a few days."

Till now Scott hadn't ever thought about what werewolf babies were like. In truth he didn't even spend much time thinking what human babies were like either. As he watched in quick glimpses before looking at at the road, he could see some mannerisms that were unmistakably puppy.

"Okay," he said to Stiles distractedly. "Think that's how Derek used to act?"

From:

myhouse_myrules

Stiles can't help but give a bit of a chuckle and shakes his head," I don't think so. Then again... we don't know much about how he'd react or act either."

From:

truealphascott

Peanut made a little howl in his carrier so Gabe echoed with his puppy sounding howl. Scott laughed because really, his son just howled! Oh... That was the first time he'd thought of Gabe that way.

As he parked in front of the pet store, he grinned brightly. "He really is ours isn't he?"

Then to Gabe and Stiles both, he said a little louder to get Gabe's attention. "Okay I think you two should go in and get just the essentials. Then as soon as he gets his shots we'll come back and let him pick out a few new toys. What do you think?" He then offered Stiles his wallet.

From:

myhouse_myrules

He laughs at the howl before taking Scott's wallet and giving a bit of a nod," Yes, he's ours. And, yeah we can do that." That was a compromise that Stiles could get behind.

From:

truealphascott

Gabe was reluctant to leave Peanut in the car, but he knew he was in good hands. So he hurried into the store with Stiles. "What do we need to get?" He asked glancing around the store entrance. "We don't want to spend too much or Daddy will get mad."

Maybe not mad but grumbly.

From:

myhouse_myrules

"Daddy won't get mad. But he'll be a sad puppy," Stiles says with a grin, wrapping an arm around Gabe's shoulder. "Right now we're just getting essentials. So that means puppy food and bowls for the food and water. Once grandpa gives Peanut his shots we'll bring him here and let him pick out his own toys."

From:

truealphascott

"Can't we pick out at least one toy? Please!" Gabe begged. It was identical to how Stiles would've asked his dad almost a decade ago. Gabe wasn't totally Scott's blonde mini-me.

That and neither of them were ever so painfully shy.

From:

myhouse_myrules

Gabriel definitely reminded him of himself in that aspect and he tries not to laugh at that," Only one toy, buddy. We don't want to spend all of daddy's money."

From:

truealphascott

Gabe got excited and hurried over to the dog toys. That would keep him busy for a while.

In the car, Scott tried identifying all the scents Gabe was noticing. Sometimes it was enough to drive him crazy with all the different scents in the air. Then he realized he should probably call his mom.

From:

myhouse_myrules

Stiles can't help but laugh slightly and sticks close, so he doesn't lose track of his son.

If Scott was going to do that then he should definitely call her. Especially if he's staying with Stiles for a few days. Otherwise, she's going to worry and when she worries... things can get messy.

From:

truealphascott

Scott dialed her number to see if she's able to talk right now. With the hospital, you never know.

Gabe picked out a small stuffed duckie and a ball. He stared at them both indecisively. Finally he went to see what Stiles thought. "Mommy, which should I get?"

In the aisle Stiles was in a middle aged woman was also shopping. She looked up surprised to see who Gabe was talking to. First of all, Stiles was a guy and second, there wasn't enough age difference between them to make any sense.

From:

myhouse_myrules

"Beacon Hills Memorial." Melissa says picking up the hospital phone. After all, she had a couple minutes to spare but not much. Not when she was working a double shift.

Stiles can't help but smile and wrap an arm around Gabe's shoulders a bit tighter, nothing that would hurt though," Does one of them squeak, big guy?" Oh, he could feel the lady's eyes on him and he resists the urge to turn asking her what the hell she was staring at. They were going to get what was needed and then go.

From:

truealphascott

"Hey Mom, it's kind of a long story but..," he started, but really when did a statement like that ever precede something good? "Deaton accidentally gave Gabe a puppy that's too young and I need to go stay with them for a few days to keep it from getting sick." Of all that he could've said, that was about the least crazy it got for him.

"The duckie has a squeaker but the ball has a bell," he said and shook it so Stiles could hear the tinny sound inside.

From:

myhouse_myrules

"What do you mean it's a long story, Scott..." Melissa asks with a bit of a frown. Though as he continues to explain she can't help but groan slightly," Do you have everything that you need?"

"Then lets get Peanut the ball, big guy. He'll probably like it better than something that squeaks," Stiles says with a smile.

From:

truealphascott

"Not yet. We're at the pet store and then I'm going to get them settled. I'll get my stuff after if that's okay with you." He might be the alpha but mom trumped alpha status.

"Okay!" He hurried to put the duckie back.

The woman is trying not to look, but this was strange to her.

From:

myhouse_myrules

"You should've said something sooner rather than springing it on us, Scott," Melissa tells him. "However, that's fine. Just keep me posted on what's going on. I need to go, Scott. Be good while you're over there."

Stiles smiles and gives the woman a slight glare before turning back to his boy," Ready, baby boy?"

From:

truealphascott

"Okay thanks, Mom," he said and hung up. He frowned looking at the phone wondering what part of this he sprung on her that hadn't just been sprung on him. He was sure she was right but he didn't see it.

"Yeah and I saw the ball is actually cheaper too," he said knowing that will make Scott happy. So with the supplies plus the ball they didn't take all of Scott's money- just most of it.

From:

myhouse_myrules

Stiles gives a bit of a chuckle before putting Scott's wallet in his back pocket and helps Gabriel carry the stuff out to the car, getting him and the stuff into it. Once he's got Gabe and the puppy's things in the car, he slips back into the passenger seat giving a bit of a yawn. Okay, maybe when they got home he'd take a nap. "Lets go home, Scotty."

From:

truealphascott

Scott watched Stiles as he got in. He was more than a little concerned about him. He wisely kept his mouth shut. At the encouragement, he drove them back to Stiles' house.

As they pulled in the drive, he glanced in his rear view mirror. "Psst," he whispered to Stiles and nodded to the back. Gabe had his head on the dog carrier and was falling asleep on it.

From:

myhouse_myrules

He leans back in his seat and is almost out of it when he hears his best friend's voice. "Hmm?" It's quiet even as he looks toward the rear view mirror and then turns a little to look in the back, smiling. Sitting upright again he shakes his head," That's our boy for you."

From:

truealphascott

"Have we figured out yet how that's even possible?" Scott asked. Of course neither had thought to ask Deaton about it. So far no one had contacted one of the natural born wolves in their pack either. "Can you carry the carrier or should I make two trips?" One of them needed to carry Gabriel. It didn't even occur to him to wake the boy up to walk on his own. That was a parent for you.
