Hi Teen Wolf Lovers and Devoted Readers I have another chapter...

I love this story and how quickly I get through these chapters and I would like to thank you all for your kind reviews they mean so much and please keep them coming.

This chapter is Garrett/Mason and I know that these two characters are written very little about and seen very rarely on screen so I took a bit of writers licence with them and I hoped it turned out ok.

Disclaimer-I own nothing but my babies who now stand at-Blake, Spencer, Ryder, Logan, Lucas and Avery-with more soon to come!

And As Always please read and review and tell me what you all thought I will hopefully update soon!

Chapter 6-Avery Gabrielle

Garrett and Mason get a little surprise from one of Garrett's old hunting friends and the first Hale Pack girl is introduced

This were all quite in the Hale Pack in the initial aftermath of the drama that was the Boyd twins birth. In fact it was nearly a year before anything remotely unordinary happened.

In that year Mason had slowly begun to insert himself into the pack more bringing Garrett who had had more reservations. There was little to say to people whom you had once threatened to kill (practically in the case of Liam-Brett was still snarling when he walked into a room) but Garrett had realised that both Derek and Scott knew that another hunter on their side was working well for them and more importantly Mason wanted to stay with his friends.

And Garrett would do anything Mason asked him to.

That thought made his eyes roll-he was so getting soft.

So on a warm day September, when Garrett had just finished his residency shift at Beacon Hills Memorial, Mason had staggered home from his job as receptionist in the garage that Derek, Scott and Aidan all owned and worked at. They had turned on the TV and Mason had wrapped two arms around Garrett pulling him flush against his chest when the doorbell to their apartment rang.

Garrett groaned "Typical" he muttered ignoring Mason's chuckle "The second I get settled down, if it's one of them with relationship trouble I am telling you know Mason they can…" and he stopped irritably his sentences cut short as he saw who he came face to face with.

It was Amber (or at least that's what Garrett vaguely remembered her name as) Violet's sister, they shared the same dark skin and dark eyes but Amber had been a couple of years younger than Violet and had no love for the life of a hunter.

Garrett blinked unsure of what to say but he could feel his eyes widen at they travelled down, Amber was wearing torn leggings and thick black boots and a thick grey jumper, but even the thickest of jumpers couldn't disguise the thick pregnant belly that was straining desperately against the confines of her clothes.

His eyes travelled back upwards and with new eyes he finally came face to face with her, her hair was ragged and she was shaking, there was a large gash on her forehead and dried blood in her hair and her face was terrified.

"Gar…?" Mason asked his eyes widening as he came to stand round the back of Garrett and Garrett shifted standing in front of his boyfriend ever so slightly. "Garrett" Amber croaked "I really need your help" and then she pitched forwards throwing herself into the surprised arms of the tall blonde hunter in a dead faint.

"Babe" Garrett muttered struggling against the hold of the young woman in his arms. "Call Derek and Scott, now"

It was some time later when Amber came round. Derek had took her to Deaton's where the vet, Melissa and Doctor Grey had given her an examination, the baby they had deduced was fine however Amber was not.

She was severely week, starvation and dehydration had struck her hard and judging by the wound in her leg that was festering and swelling and the grim look that Dr Grey and Melissa shared with each other Garrett got the impression that she wouldn't last long.

When she did eventually wake up it was to a storm of avid faces and it was only Allison who tactfully mentioned something about leaving Derek, Garrett (whose hand Amber refused to let go off) and Mason who had stayed behind only to support his boyfriend to talk to her.

"You wanna tell us what happened Am?" he asked and Amber nodded her hands playing with her bump "We were attacked" she said her lips chapped and cracking "Me and my husband, we were attacked by another group of werewolves who's Alpha Violet had killed, they killed him Garrett…" she trailed off her eyes welling with tears.

"So you came here?" he asked blue eyes wide-he thought that his was the last place someone would have come. There was a small pause before Amber coughed slightly, Derek caught Garrett's eye at the slight dripping of blood that seemed to leek in little bubbles from the corner of her mouth.

"I couldn't think of anywhere else Garrett…" she said gripping his hand with new fervour "I needed to get somewhere safe, they came after us because of Violet and they thought I was dead, or maybe they couldn't bring themselves to kill a pregnant woman either way I don't know. I just needed to get to someone I knew would protect my baby, and everyone knows the Hale Pack is near invincible"

There was a pause before Garrett spoke, feeling Mason's hand curl around his shoulder. "What you saying?" he asked and Amber smiled bitterly "Look at my leg, Garrett" she said "And then look at me" and when she next spoke it was with a bitterness that didn't seem fair. "I'm dying" she put her hand up against Garrett's protests. "I need you to look after my baby"

It was some time later when a stunned Garrett was driven home by Mason, who was attempting to make small conversation. The very idea that Amber had asked him to be a parent was extraordinary, Garrett couldn't be a parent- he didn't know how, the only thing he had ever learned from his was how to kill people before he was six.

When they eventually staggered in through the front door of their apartment Garrett (feeling like he was just going through the motions) stripped down to his boxers and wrapped himself in his old sweats and one of Mason's jumpers and threw himself down on the bed.

There was something indescribably comfortable about burrowing his face on Mason's side of the bed, inhaling the sweet and spicy smell of Christmas cookies and cinnamon and feel the touch of the dark navy blue quilt on the big double bed.

"You ok?" came a voice from behind him and Garrett whimpered as Mason slid in front of him lifting his body so his head was resting on the corner of knee. "No" he huffed relishing the feeling of Mason's fingers running through his hair. "My ex's sister just turned up convinced she's dying and asking me to raise her unborn child like my own"

Mason nodded carefully "Do you want to?" he asked hesitantly and Garrett turned himself over so he was looking up at him eyes widening slightly "You do?" he asked his tone surprised and Mason shrugged "I want a family with you yeah" he said calmly "Amber won't last long after that baby is born" he said cautiously "I saw that leg Garrett, the infection has spread to most of her upper body Melissa was saying and the baby's gonna be affected by it soon"

He paused "She's dying Garrett" he said again "And she thinks your, us, she thinks we are the only shot for her baby and I kinda do like the idea of being a dad" he said shrugging.

"It's a lot of work babe" Garrett professed turning so he was sat facing his boyfriend "I know" Mason replied "But if I love you and you love me and we both love this baby then-and maybe it's naïve-but what could we really do wrong?"

Garrett really didn't have a lot of time to think on that over the next two days. Lydia had come over the next day with Kira and they had offered to do a temporary nursery with the view that "Even if you're not keeping this baby It still needs a temporary bed" and even Garrett had to admit that the yellow walls and cedar crib and the yellow ducks painted on the walls was quite cute.

The next day he had gone to see Amber "it's a girl I think" she had said looking marginally better but still unable to sit up on her own "My husband Avery liked the name Gabrielle" and so she continued talking about everything she had hoped for and was now being taken away from her.

"I know this is a big ask" she had commented. "Violet told me the issues that you had with your own parents but please Garrett I need you to do this for me" there had been something in her pleading honesty that had made Garrett go home to lie down in the aftermath of their conversation.

When he got home however he saw Mason sat in the baby's bedroom playing with one of the stuffed ducks Lydia had bought. There was a small smile on his face and it was then that Garrett realised how much his boyfriend wanted this baby.

Oh what the hell then.

"Ok" he said making Mason jump "Ok let's do this then" and he pushed himself up just in time to have Mason leap at him in a giant hug.

Anything was worth that he realised. Anything.

It was just the other night when things came to their final head.

It was Mason who got the phone call from Scott and Mason who had shook Garrett awake. "Amber's deteriorating" he said shortly "We need to go Gar, it's gonna be soon"

Even though the drive from their apartment to Scott's house where Amber had been staying was short, Garrett knew from the look that Stiles shot him when he got out the car that they had been too late. There had been a pause before Scott himself came out clutching a small bundle wrapped in a towel.

"It's a girl" he said through slightly gritted teeth "Mom and Simon are clearing her up now but it was pretty quick, her heart gave out" He shrugged "I don't reckon she realised what was happening"

Garrett nodded watching Mason take the small baby girl. There small baby girl. She was beautiful he'd give her that, with caramel coloured skin, dark wide eyes and high slanting cheekbones, her hair was a small tuff or dark brown and she was falling in between wakefulness and sleep snuffling silently.

"Her names Avery" he found himself saying, he caught Mason's eye and smiled "Avery Gabrielle" and Mason grinned back. "Avery Collins-Hayes" he muttered back and Garrett smiled softly.

It was later that night when Mason woke up. Someone should really make a shrine to Lydia and form a religion around her she was quite honestly so organized. They had enough baby formula to last them the week, so when Avery cried every two hours they at least knew what to do.

When he staggered up eyes blurring he realised that he when he got to the nursery Garrett was already there, his back to the door and blue eyes wide awake, Avery clutched to his chest rocking her gently humming softly. He gently bent so that he could rub his nose against hers before turning around smiling down at his daughter-his face wide with that grin that Mason loved so much.

And right there and then Mason knew everything was going to be ok.

And I will try to update but please let me know what you think-

Next Chapter-Stiles and Derek get a little surprise on their doorstep and the pack comes into danger.
