AU: Scott/ Stiles/ Gabriel

[truealphascott]

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.

"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.

[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."

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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?"

[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.

[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."

[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.

[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."

[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.

[myhouse_myrules]

"No, we haven't figured out how that's even possible," Stiles says with a shake of his head. "I can get the carrier if you can get Gabe." He doesn't want to wake the little guy up. He looks so tired but then again it had been a long day for him.

[truealphascott]

"Cool, thanks." Scott hopped out and opened the door. Carefully, he lifts Gabe out and leans his little head against Scott's chest. It was like he was carrying expensive glass.

It's almost ruined when the ball almost falls to the ground but Scott catches it with his foot. Then that leaves him standing on one foot awkwardly. He looks at Stiles for help.

[myhouse_myrules]

Stiles can't help but laugh before shaking his head. Slipping out of the car he moves over, leaning down and grabbing the ball and handing it back to Scott. Then he reaches in and picks up the pet carrier.

"I'll go unlock the door since dad's not home."

[truealphascott]

Scott was impressed the ball hadn't jingled too loud to wake up Gabe. Their son had to be totally wiped out.

He followed Stiles to the door and then inside. Carrying Gabe upstairs, he started into the guest room and would lay him in there unless Stiles said otherwise.

[myhouse_myrules]

"Why don't you go ahead and put him in my bed, Scotty," Stiles tells him with a bit of a smile. "Give him something to wake up to that's slightly familiar." Or at least might be slightly familiar. He makes sure the door is shut before opening the crate just in case Peanut wanted out.

[truealphascott]

Scott looked at him surprised, but did as he asked. Gabe made a whiny, soft puppy noise as he was laid down but he didn't wake up. In fact, it just made Peanut go sniffing around the room trying to find him. Scott looked back at Stiles. "I'm going to get him in a box so he doesn't go all over your room."

If Stiles puts the pup in the bed too, he wasn't going to suggest it. He'd find it very cute, but potentially messy. He wouldn't say anything though.

[myhouse_myrules]

"Alright," Stiles says giving his best friend a smile. "Should we get a little towel or something to put in the box with him? So that he stays warm."

[truealphascott]

"Yeah, don't worry. I'll get him set up. You just relax and get some rest," he assured Stiles. Scott knew this house just as well as his own, so he could find everything he needed. He knew where the newspaper that was waiting to go out to the recycling was kept and where the old towels for messes and not showers were.

A part of him wanted some alone time with Stiles again, but they weren't going to have that just yet.

[myhouse_myrules]

"You sure, Scotty?" He asks watching him. He could, after all, help if his best friend needed it. Besides, he wasn't really in the mood to rest except where it had been a long day and maybe he was. To be honest, he wasn't sure what he wanted.

[truealphascott]

"Yes," Scott stopped and came back over to him. He tried to read his expression, but couldn't really. So he just wrapped him in a hug. "It doesn't make you weak or anything to rest. As soon as I get Peanut set up, I'll probably join you."

And holding Stiles felt really nice all of a sudden. He didn't really want to let him go, but he felt awkward about it, so he did.
