You're Stitch Liam

Theo groaned audibly the next morning as he sat in front of the television in the McCall house living room. Sesame Street played, and his anger rose as he thought, "I don't get why all the other monsters trust Abby. She is an evil witch that destroyed crops and the environment just to show off her powers of controlling the weather. Then they let her turn people and things into pumpkins. That is some real evil there."

Liam giggled and the flood over emotion hit Theo which prompted him to giggle as well. Liam replied, "It's not that bad. You're just looking too much into it. It's just a kid's show."

Theo smirked as he replied with venom, "I'm not surprised the boy that cheers for the Elmo hive mind would agree with this rampant evil."

Liam gasped, "Elmo isn't a hive mind or evil. You're just reaching. Are there any characters you actually like?"

Theo scoffed, "Of course. Oscar. Even though he is too nice at times."

Liam laughed, "Why am I not surprised."

Theo looked around the McCall living room and listened for Scott. He heard the alpha cooking in the kitchen. He groaned again, "Why do I have to live with the McCalls? This is super weird."

Liam responded, "And being a toddler isn't? But, I get to enjoy snacks and nap time so it's not bad."

Theo shook his head and walked to the kitchen. He looked up to Scott as the alpha cooked a grilled cheese sandwich at the stove. The chimera smelled the pizza in the microwave and said, "Hungry."

Scott looked down at Theo and smiled, "What is it buddy? Do you want something to eat?"

Theo growled and responded, "Food?"

Scott took the grilled cheese out of the pan and set it on a plate. He knelt beside Theo and said, "Use your words, Theo."

Theo rolled his eyes and replied, "I want food."

Scott smiled and ran his hand through the chimera's hair briskly, "I'm almost done with lunch. Then Liam will be coming for your play date."

Theo fought back the smile poorly and said, "Little Wolf."

Scott laughed at Theo's comment, "I thought you were the little wolf."

Theo shook his head, "No, Liam Little Wolf."

Scott picked up Theo and sat him in the booster seat at the table, "Then what are you Theo?"

Theo smiled as he responded, "Monster."

Scott sighed as he walked back to the kitchen and grabbed Theo's grilled cheese and his microwaved pizza. He set the plates down at the table and genuinely looked into Theo's eyes, "You aren't a monster. What the Dread Doctors did to you was wrong. You are just different, but you aren't a monster."

Theo furrowed his brow at Scott's words and Liam asked, "What's going on? I just started crying."

Theo thought dismissively, "Nothing Liam. Thanks for the periodic updates."

Theo eyed the grilled cheese he didn't want and the meat lover's pizza that Scott was getting ready to eat. He reached across the table and Scott softly chided him, "No, Theo. The pizza is mine. I made you a grilled cheese."

The chimera huffed before he looked out the window in the dining room. He grinned before he pointed out the window. Scott held the slice close to his mouth when he noticed Theo pointing out the window. He asked, "What do you see, Theo?"

Theo fought the urge to laugh as he shifted his eyes gold. Scott slowly set the slice down and looked to the window. The alpha looked out and said, "I don't see anything." Theo continued to point and lowly growled. Scott stood up and walked to the window. While the alpha stared out, Theo reached over and grabbed the pizza. He tore into it quickly and ate over half of it before Scott turned around. Theo's eyes were wide with mischievous guilt as his cheeks were chubby with day old, microwaved pizza.

The alpha shook his head and heartily laughed, "I earned that. You got me Theo."

Theo swallowed the bite and beamed a smile at the wolf. Scott walked back over and rubbed Theo's head before he took the grilled cheese and bit into it. After the first bite he said, "I guess you really wanted the pizza. Don't tell mom."

Theo grinned after he ate another bite. He replied, "I promise."

After they finished up lunch and Scott wiped Theo's face clean, he asked, "What do you want to watch before Liam gets here?"

Theo replied, "Lion King."

Scott asked, "Are you sure you don't want to watch "Lilo and Stitch" again?"

Theo thought for a moment and then nodded, "Okay."

Scott put on the movie and sat with Theo on the couch as it played. By the time it finished, Theo heard Liam shout, "We're here!"

The miniature chimera looked to the alpha, "Little Wolf is here."

Scott looked to Theo with a bit of confusion before he heard the knock at the door. He walked over to the door, still confused and opened it. Liam ran inside and jumped on the couch with Theo. Jenna slowly stepped inside and gave Scott a hug. She said, "He's been eager for his play date."

Scott looked at both boys and smiled, "Yeah, those two are pretty inseparable."

Jenna smiled and said, "Nolan should be here soon to babysit so you can be free to get what you need done before heading back to college."

Scott chuckled, "I'm going to miss spending time with the boys."

They watched as Theo smiled at Liam and said, "Liam, you're Stitch."

Liam tilted his head in puppy like confusion, "What?"

Theo smiled as he listed, "You eat everything. You are super dramatic. You love to sleep. You argue over everything. Everything makes you angry. And you are short." To the adults it sounded garbled and rushed but Liam understood and growled. He said, "I am not."

Theo grinned, "You're also Ohana." As Liam huffed, Theo hugged him, and Jenna and Scott released a collective, "Aw."

Jenna smiled with a tear in her eye, "They are adorable." She looked to Scott, "I'm going to run some errands, I'll be back this evening."

Scott nodded and smiled, "See you later, Mrs. Dunbar."

She smiled and waved to Liam as she stepped out. Scott closed the door and started the movie over before he walked to the kitchen to clean up.

Liam said, "Have you heard from Brett and Nolan?"

Theo shook his head, "Lurch hasn't visited yet, but Nolan should be by soon."

At that moment, there was another knock at the door. Before Scott could step back into the room, Nolan opened the door and said, "Scott, I'm here to babysit. I brought back up."

Nolan stepped into the living room with Brett behind him. Scott eyed the tall wolf and then Nolan and asked, "What are you planning to do with the boys today?"

Nolan rubbed the back of his head nervously and meekly responded, "I was thinking we could go to the park."

Scott face shifted to his goofy smile, "Sounds like fun. Theo and Liam should enjoy that." He looked to the boys, "How does the park sound?"

Liam cheered while Theo responded, "Anything is better than Sesame Street."

Scott shook his head as he could understand the chimera, but Nolan and Brett snickered. He looked to Nolan, "Do you think the boys need anything for the park?"

Brett replied, "Maybe a change of clothes?"

Liam glared at the wolf, "Maybe a different babysitter."

Brett returned the glare, "We found something" he spoke the last point with an edge in his voice, "Little Wolf."

Theo grinned and thought, "Ready for that surprise from yesterday?"

Liam looked confused as Theo pulled the wolf's t shirt off. Theo thought about how he shifts and the sensations and Liam shifted into a tiny white wolf pup. He struggled out of his clothes as the adult's eyes widened and Scott whispered, "I didn't know Liam could full shift."

Liam looked to Theo in wonder, "How did you do that?"

Theo grinned, "I figured since I know how I could show your body how. Seems like it worked."

Brett gasped, "How is that even possible?"

Nolan shook his head in wonder and walked over to Liam. He stroked his fur and said, "He's so soft. Just like Theo was."

Liam growled as Theo laughed, "Now you get to feel my pain, Little Wolf."

Liam struggled out of his baggy shorts and socks and looked around, "This is so cool. Thanks Theo."

Theo shrugged, "It's nothing."

Liam licked Theo's face and Scott laughed, "They seem to be in good hands." Scott looked to Brett, "The extra booster seat and Theo's bag of clothes is in the closet. I'm going to clean up here before I check in at the clinic."

Brett replied as Nolan chased down Liam, the white pup intent on not being rubbed, "Thanks Scott. We'll bring them back in one piece."

Scott stepped back into the kitchen and Theo gave Brett and intense gaze, "What did you find out?"

Nolan giggled as he picked up puppy Liam and said, "That bar was just a rundown, empty shack. We did find two shot glasses in there."

Brett commented, "Not to mention a very distinct smell. I think I can track whoever did this off the smell."

Liam replied, "It's something right?"

Theo nodded, "Let's just hope that more people don't fall under, whatever this is, as we find out more. I know Scott knew what it was yesterday but then he became even more useless."

Liam argued, "He's not useless. Especially now, he loves you Theo. You're his little brother."

Theo smirked and looked to Brett, "Can you ask Scott why his family adopted me? I'm curious."

Brett shrugged, "Will you stop calling me Lurch?"

Theo thought for a moment before he light-heartedly replied, "Nope."

Brett growled which caused Liam to shift in Nolan's lap and growl at the tall wolf. Brett replied, "You two really do back each other up, constantly."

Theo laughed, "Yep."

Brett stepped into the kitchen while Nolan helped get the boys ready.

Brett walked up to the sink where the true alpha was washing the dishes. He asked, "I don't remember what happened with Theo. Can you remind me how your mother adopted him?"

Scott eyed the wolf but answered, "That's right, you and Lori probably don't remember much of the Dread Doctors. Theo was one of their experimental kids. It was messed up, I mean he was just a baby. The worst part is he still remembers it and thinks he's a monster because of it." The alpha sighed and Brett could smell the sorrow as he continued, "I can't believe they killed his parents to kidnap him. It's a shame what happened to Tara."

Brett shook his head and asked, "What happened to Tara?"

Scott whispered, "Don't you remember? Kira had to seal her away with her sword before she went with the desert walkers."

Brett's eyes widened, "She's sealed away, in the ground."

Scott nodded and continued, "Was sealed away. Lydia and I released her. She tried to take Theo back but changed her mind after dealing with Monroe's people. That's when she asked my mom to adopt him and give him the loving home she didn't have."

The words hit the tall wolf hard and he asked, "Where is she now?"

Scott grinned as he responded, "I'm going to go see her. We're kind of, maybe dating. It's weird since she tried to kill me but she's different."

Brett stumbled over his words as he asked, "What about Malia?"

Scott raised an eyebrow at the wolf's question, "What about her? She's with Stiles while he is still in town. She's going back to Virginia with him. I just can't believe Stiles, Lydia, and Malia all live together there."

Brett gasped, "That is different."

They heard Nolan call from the living room, "The boys are ready Brett. Let's go to the park."

Scott smiled and slapped Brett on the shoulder, "Thanks again for helping. I've got a date with a chimera."

Brett shook his head and walked back into the living room. As soon as he walked back, Theo demanded, "What did he say?"

Brett fought back telling everything and just said, "They adopted you after rescuing you from the Dread Doctors. He said you were a baby experiment."

Theo nodded, "Well I guess that makes sense. Ready to find whatever this is."

Nolan nodded as he finished putting Liam's clothes back on from when he shifted back.

They loaded into Theo's truck and Nolan drove through town as Brett sat in the front with the window down to catch scents. Theo and Liam bickered in the backseat about what their "new" family lives were like. After enough frustration, Theo asked, "Do we think he is still in town?"

Nolan nodded as he followed the main strip, "We think so. It wouldn't make sense for him to change these things and not stay."

Liam asked Theo, "Do you think we'll be able to change back?"

Theo shook his head, "I don't know Little Wolf."

Liam sighed and looked to the floorboard as Nolan glanced at him in the rearview mirror with a broken smile, "Hey, Liam, even if we can't, I'll be your babysitter for at least two more years."

Liam rolled his eyes and dryly replied, "Thanks Nolan."

Brett replied, "Things could be worse. I bet Nolan is a great babysitter." The wolf glanced at the former hunter and gave him a sweet, but almost predatory smile. Nolan's face blushed a deep red and Theo groaned, "We can still smell chemo signals."

Nolan gasped, "What?" before he stumbled over his words, "I don't know what you mean. I'm just surprised at Brett's comment is all."

Liam rolled his eyes and groaned, "Sure."

After driving for almost an hour, Brett caught the scent. He almost yelled at Nolan to take a right and eagerly gave him directions. They tracked the scent to an old abandoned building near the outskirts of the downtown area. It was a tall brick and mortar style building with the last paint layer chipped away to expose the raw brick. Nolan parked out front and stepped out of the vehicle. He walked around to the passenger side and stood next to Brett as he looked up the three-story condemned structure, "Are you sure this is it?"

Brett nodded slowly, "He's here alright. I can smell him."

Theo glared at Nolan from the backseat, "Little help? Still stuck in the booster seats here."

Brett argued, "We should leave them here until we know we can bring them in."

Liam argued back, "Like hell you will. We are going too."

Nolan bit his lip as he looked from Brett back to the boys and back. The wolf caught the nervous look and placed his hand on the teen's shoulder. "Whatever you decide, Noley."

Theo gagged, "Oh my guh. I changed my mind, go in first so I don't have to hear anymore failed attempts at flirting."

Nolan blushed again, and Liam growled, "Let us out."

Nolan opened the door and released both boys. They climbed out of the truck and joined the two on the sidewalk. Brett looked to them, "Ready for this? If things go south, I've got it."

Liam rolled his eyes, "Sure you do."

Before they could start arguing again, Nolan prompted, "Let's go guys."

Brett led them down a small flight of cement stairs that ended with a side door. "He's in here. Are we ready?"

Nolan nodded, and the boys agreed. When the tall wolf opened the door, they saw an elaborate bar, filled with patrons and the bartender grinned from behind the small well-polished bar, "It's good to see you boys. Come on in."
