A Pup Of Our Own

Chapter 6

Theo was the first to wake up. Blinking slowly, trying to clear the sleep from his eyes. The sun was still out so he was sure they hadn't slept long. Liam was snoring next to him and Luvel was...

Luvel was gone. Theo hopped up and looked around. Liam's parents weren't back so they didn't have her. Liam obviously didn't have her. The chimera started to panic. Had she shifted while they slept? Is she hurt? Theo sniffed the blanket to get her scent, when all he smelled was Liam he tried to wake the beta.

The beta batted at Theo, trying to get the chimera to stop licking his face. "Theo, stop!" Liam rolled over, only to have Theo bite him. "What the fuck!" Theo whined and scratched the blanket that Luvel was laying on. Liam looked around for the baby girl not finding her. "Fuck!" He jumped up and started running around looking for her.

When they couldn't find her Theo shifted back and got dressed. "Do you think she got out somehow?" Theo shook his head. "I can't catch her scent, she was taken. Call Scott." Theo picked up all the blankets and pillows, putting his shoes on and grabbing his keys.

"Hey, Theo. Scott took Luvel. They found an adoption agency that deals with werecreatures. She's at the police station." Theo felt his heart drop for some reason. He knew this would happen, she was going back to family or somewhere else. For some reason though he felt like he was losing someone close.

"We should go down there and take the stuff I bought, and you should call your mom and tell her to return whatever she got." Liam nodded feeling the same thing Theo was. He. for some reason, didn't want Luvel to go.

Liam called his mom and told her what was happening. Thankfully she hadn't bought anything yet and was still shopping. Theo packed everything he bought and waited for Liam to get in the truck. Once he got in Theo drove directly to the police station.

They arrived at the same time that Derek and Stiles got there. They had the same look Theo and Liam had. Sadness and longing. The four walked into the station. Derek handed the baby boy over to lady in a suit. She had a pinched face that was pulled tight by the bun her hair was in. She held the boy like he was a bomb with a short fuse. She placed him in a carrier for dogs, Luvel was in the one next to it.

Theo didn't like the look of the pups in a cage. The lady waved a man forward and he grabbed the two cages taking them to the car. Theo handed over the stuff he bought to the lady before leaving the station to check on Luvel.

Derek pulled the lady to side and talked with her in hushed towns. Liam turned to Scott. "What happens now? To the pups?" Liam needed to know the girl would be ok, that she would have a good home. "They go to like a foster home place till someone adopts them." Scott wasn't sure really but that's what it sounded like the lady said.

Laim shook his head. He didn't like that. Scott reached out to touch his arm but Liam just walked off. Following Theo to the car they had Luvel in. The chimera was leaning into the window and trying to calm a whimpering puppy.

Derek and the lady continued talk. Whatever Derek was saying wasn't making her happy. Stiles was standing near by biting his thumb and practically bouncing in place.

"Just give me the papers. Not a single thing is stopping me from doing it." Derek knew they had no reason to deny him. He had money, a place to live, and a person who understood and could help teach. The lady sighed and pulled out the paperwork, handing it to the stubborn wolf.

Derek grabbed the paperwork and turned to Stiles. They both started to look through the package. They pair talked for a moment before turning to the lady. "Everything will be signed and returned in the morning, I expect that he be here when you pick up the papers." The lady simply nodded before going out to the car.

"What's going on?" Scott looked at Derek who crossed his arms and looked at Stiles. "This agency doesn't have the best track record with caring for werecreatures. I'm adopting the boy. He's close and has already scented me." Stiles started to laugh at that statement making Scott wondering what has happened.

"Are you sure about this Derek? I mean are you ready to be a dad?" Derek scoffed. "After the many hours watching you and Stiles I think I can handle a pup."
