I keep going back and forth on whether I want to continue this or not, but I still believe my love Isaac deserves good things so I'll keep this going for now.

I hope you enjoy!

Job hunting sucked. There was no debate around it. It didn't help when the only work experience Isaac had was working in a cemetery with his now deceased father. No one really wanted to hire someone that's worked with dead people though. Yeah, Isaac couldn't really blame them for that.

Thus, leading him to sitting on Faith's bed with the laptop Chris had bought for him sitting on his, you guessed it, lap. Faith was typing away on hers at her desk as she munched on celery sticks and peanut butter as her snack. What she really wanted was a huge bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos with extra nacho cheese but Isaac and Drew had been keeping her on health watch and giving her shit only a rabbit would eat. She wasn't too overjoyed about giving up her cookies and chips, but of course Isaac had to pull the 'it's for the baby' card on her so she reluctantly agreed to let him and her dad toss out her beloved treats.

See, Faith was trying to be a good mother. It still wasn't going to hold her back from bitching about eating what might as well been crunchy water that not even creamy and delicious peanut butter could save.

Back to the job hunting. Both Isaac and Faith had been going at it for the past hour but nothing seemed to catch the beta's interest. Faith thought he was being too picky but Isaac liked the term 'selective' better. The little brat.

"Let's see here…" Faith clicked on an advertisement and read through the description in her head. "How about this one? They're looking for baristas at the Brew La La downtown. You could make some pretty good tips there. I don't see any problems with that."

"Here's three-" Isaac began counting off on his fingers, "too many drinks to memorize, other baristas bumping into you behind the tiny ass counter, and customers who bitch when you mispronounce their name wrong."

"Okay, so that's a no on the coffee shop," Faith sighed as she exited out of that advertisement. She clicked on a new one. "Pool cleaning?"

"Believe it or not, being hit on by housewives who hate their husbands doesn't sound like fun to me," Isaac countered, "Cougars aren't really my type anyway."

Now that Faith thought about it, she wasn't too keen on Isaac being someone else's eye candy either. Obviously this wasn't working out so she shut her laptop and spun around in her chair to face Isaac. "What about the animal clinic Scott works at? That might be more up your alley."

"Why, because I'm a werewolf?"

"Maybe," Faith said with a cheeky grin.

Isaac rolled his eyes. "I mean, the dogs are cool. It's the cats that I'm not a fan of. They always hiss at me every time I step foot in there."

"Well, is there a type of job that you would like? I'm running out of ideas here."

"I don't know… nothing in customer service, that's for sure. But I don't mind being around coworkers. Or even doing some handy work. Something more behind the scenes."

Suddenly a light bulb dinged inside Faith's head. How did she not think of this sooner?

"Oh my god, the diner!" she exclaimed, "Hank and Missy have been looking to hire a maintenance guy for the last couple weeks and you'd be perfect for it!"

"Really?" Isaac asked. Faith nodded. "I don't know… what would I have to do?"

"You'd basically be helping with cleaning and repairing anything broken in the diner. It does require a bit of bussing tables and dishwashing, but it's all doable. You wouldn't have to talk to customers, so that's a plus. And that way we'll be working together and could make things easier for when I have to go on maternity leave."

Huh. That actually didn't seem like such a bad idea when Isaac pondered on it. And he had met Hank and Missy before back when he and Faith hung out sophomore year. They were both friendly people who were always kind to Isaac whenever he came into the diner. Like Faith said, the work seemed decent. Isaac was familiar with doing handiwork around the house and at the cemetery with his late father so he figured he could do it.

"Are you sure you won't get sick of being around me all the time?" Isaac joked.

"It's not like we already don't hang out all the time," Faith shrugged, "And besides, being coparents will bring us closer together anyway. Might as well get a head start on it."

That sounded pretty damn good to Isaac if you asked him. "Sure, why not? I'll do it."

"Cool. I'll text Missy so she can set up a first day for you." Just as she reached for her phone, the uncomfortable pain of nausea churned in Faith's stomach. She clutched onto it and groaned. "Oh…"

"Faith?" Isaac was already alarmed and ready to rush to his best friend's side. "What is it? Is it the baby? Do we need to take you to a doctor?"

"Oh, calm down, I'm fine," Faith said, swatting his hand away when he tried to reach out to her, "It's just a case of the usual morning sickness. Although I find that term to be complete bullshit since it likes to inconvenience my entire day."

"I can imagine how much that would just suck. Do you feel nauseous throughout the whole day?"

"Not always, but it comes in spurts. One moment, I'll be fine. But then next thing you know, I'm running to nearest bathroom and puking my guts out. You're so lucky you don't have to go through this."

That part did make Isaac feel a little bit shitty. Sometimes he would get so in his head about how excited he was for the baby, he would forget about the not-so-joyful things about the pregnancy. Mostly from Faith's end. And one of the things Isaac knew was how much Faith hated being sick. He's seen her drunk quite a few times so he knows that she can be a big baby when she ends up with her face in the toilet. Faith was clearly uncomfortable, and Isaac felt like that was his fault for making her making her feel that way.

Actually… there might be one thing he could do to help.

He scratched his now scruff-free chin. "Uh… this is gonna sound really weird at first, but I know how to ease your nausea." Isaac went back over to the bed without waiting for Faith to say anything. He sat back down and pushed himself so his back was against the headboard and legs were parted. "Come here." All Faith did was give him a weird look completed with eyebrows that could rival Derek's. Isaac rolled his eyes. "Just trust me on this one."

Skeptical as always, Faith sighed but still got up from her chair. "If this is a werewolf thing…"

"It is," Isaac admitted, "but I promise that you're gonna feel a lot better afterwards." He patted the spot between his legs.

Faith was about to make a sassy comment but when she felt that pang deep within her stomach, she just shut up and went to sit in front of Isaac on her bed. Her heartbeat was increasing but maybe if she appeared stoic Isaac would believe that she wasn't totally nervous about being in close proximity to him.

"Scoot back so you're leaning against me," Isaac ordered. Faith did. His hand hovered over her stomach. "Uh, is it okay if I lift up your shirt just a bit?" Faith nodded, gulping. "Okay."

A little too slowly, Isaac lifted the hem of his best friend's long sleeve shirt that she stole from her dad. Her belly wasn't big at all, but there was that slight swell that if you didn't know she was pregnant, you would've thought she was just bloated. But Isaac knew what was really there, and now his own heartbeat was loud and proud in his ears. And when he rested his hand on Faith's stomach for the first time, he was close to shaking at how surreal this was.

"Just take a deep breath," he told Faith, although he needed the reminder himself.

Once Isaac felt Faith completely relax underneath his touch, the beta started performing the one thing he knew his werewolf powers were good for. Black veins crawled up his arm as he began to relieve Faith from her pain. She gasped as she felt every ounce of discomfort being literally sucked out of her body.

"Whoa."

"Being a werewolf comes with its cons," Isaac said, "A lot of cons. But the day I learned that I could take away someone's pain… even if it's just for a minute… it kinda makes it all worthwhile."

"I'll say," Faith chuckled breathily. She finally allowed herself to just lose herself in Isaac's touch and close her eyes, her head resting on his shoulder.

Part of the wooziness Isaac was now feeling was from removing Faith's nausea. Some of that he knew was also due to how insane it was for him that underneath his hand- in his best friend's belly- was his son or daughter growing there. Isaac almost wanted to cry at just how real all of this was becoming. How the hell was he supposed to wait six more months to meet his baby? He kind of wished that he or she was part werewolf so they could arrive sooner than the expected timeframe. But for now, rubbing Faith's belly would have to do.

Feeling Isaac's slightly rough yet gentle hand rubbing her bare skin as if it were a crystal ball was paradise now that her discomfort had vanished. Faith didn't know if he meant to be moving his hand around or if he was just as lost in this oddly intimate moment as she was. What she did know is that she was enjoying this greatly. Perhaps a little too much. Just ask her dampening panties. Faith couldn't even hold back the softest of moans that expressed her content.

Even if her moans didn't give it away, Isaac still had his keen werewolf senses. And what he sensed had his eyebrow shot up in amusement.

"Uh, Faith?"

"Hmm," said girl hummed, eyes remaining shut.

"So," Isaac began, "another thing about being a werewolf is that I can smell everything. Literally everything. And that… that includes arousal."

The way Faith's eyes snapped wide open in panic was almost comical. But Faith wasn't laughing. She spun around to face Isaac. "No fucking way. You can actually smell that I'm turned on?"

"Yeah," Isaac said, unable to contain the small smirk that was itching to come out, "And I hate to tell you that this isn't the first time either."

"Ugh, god." Whining, Faith buried her face in her hands. "That's so embarrassing!"

"Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. If anything, it's pretty awesome to know that I have that effect on you." That earned Isaac a rough shove on the shoulder, only making him laugh harder.

"As if you really need the ego boost."

Isaac's laughter died down slowly as he rubbed his arm. He chewed on his bottom lip, a move that drove Faith crazy. It was also a telltale sign that an idea was brewing in that mind of his. That was always scary.

"Do you want me to help you with that?" Isaac asked.

"Oh." Faith became flustered immediately, unable to form a coherent thought. "You really don't have to, it's okay."

"Are you sure? I think it's only fair since I'm the one who did this to you." When Faith looked away from Isaac, evidently still embarrassed, he took hold of her chin lightly and made her face him again. "Let me take care of you."

Aw, hell, she was screwed. She should have fought harder and just said 'no'. But how could she when Isaac's eyes hypnotized her into nodding her head and leaning back into him once again.

He started off by rubbing her belly a bit longer, building up the suspense. Then Isaac's hand gradually slid down as he continued to rub, making his pinky finger catch on the hem on Faith's shorts every so often. All of this teasing made her want to scream at Isaac to just get on with it already. As if he could read her mind, Isaac grabbed the hem of both the shorts and panties and started to pull them down Faith's milky white thighs. She did have to help finish the job and shimmied out of the unwanted garments, lifting her hips up as she did so.

The shirt she was wearing may have been long enough to cover her private area but her first instinct was to cross her legs to keep herself from being exposed. But Isaac was having none of that and placed his hands on Faith's thighs.

"Keep your legs spread, baby girl," he about growled in Faith's ear, making her breath hitch, "It'll make it easier for me to hit all the right places."

Obeying Isaac's orders with a nervously excited gulp, Faith allowed her legs to fall open, shivering at the cold air hitting her already soaked pussy. The scent of her arousal hit Isaac's nose and he buried his face into the crook of his best friend's neck to keep himself from going crazy. He returned his hand to Faith's belly and resumed his soft rubbing. She let out the most pathetic whine, aching for his touch on where she needed him the most. It was becoming torturous for Isaac as well so slowly (he still loved being a tease), he trailed his finger ever so lightly down Faith's belly and right over her wet slit.

She threw her head back as she let out a soft and audible moan as Isaac ran his finger up and down her slit, grazing her clit slightly. The werewolf placed small kisses on Faith's neck and the girl couldn't decide where her focus should be. It seemed that Isaac decided for her and finally slid a finger inside her. Faith could've cried in relief. That long and slender finger made her feel so full in a way that she had been needing ever since her hormones have been ramped up by her pregnancy.

Kissing her cheek, Isaac began to move his finger in and out of her at a pace that was neither too slow nor too fast. Faith appreciated this greatly since the teasing had become too much for her to handle. Not that the way Isaac pumped into her with his fingers (when did he add a second one?) was any less agonizing in the most incredible way. And when he picked up the speed of his rhythm… God, help her. Faith was so unbelievably wet that not only could she hear it, she could already see the damp spot forming on her sheets.

Even through all of her pleasure, Faith was still feeling pretty bashful about being exposed but Isaac still wouldn't let her hide herself. In fact, he slid his legs underneath hers so he could hook his feet on them to prevent her from moving. The arm that wasn't working on fucking Faith into oblivion was now wrapped around her upper body. She gripped onto his firm forearm like a vice. Isaac was in control and Faith had no choice but to let him play with her to his heart's desire.

"Fuck, Isaac…" she whimpered. She panted heavily as the beta kept a steady pace in fingering her pussy.

"Don't be shy, baby girl," Isaac whispered in her ear, his lips brushing her skin with each word, "Let it all out. God, you look so beautiful like this… falling apart in my arms just from my fingers. I can't wait until the next time we're alone like this, where I can finally see all of you and kiss you all up and down your gorgeous body. Then I'm gonna fuck you until you forget everything except my name. Does that sound good, baby?"

Jesus, was this boy trying to kill Faith? She had no idea where he learned how to talk like that, so dirty and dominating. Frankly, maybe it's better that she didn't know because the last thing Faith wanted to think about was Isaac talking this way to some other girl and making her squirm and shake underneath his skilled touch, like he probably did with Allison. It honestly started to kill the mood for her.

Isaac couldn't tell what his lover was thinking about, but he could sense that Faith's mind was drifting somewhere else due to her body tensing up and her head facing away from him. Call it his best friend intuition. In an effort to ease her back into the present, and mostly because Isaac really wanted to kiss her, the hand that wasn't working her center turned her face by the chin and connected their lips together. This seemed to do the job and Faith reached around to cup Isaac's cheek and moaned prettily into the kiss. The beta went back to increasing the speed of his fingers since they had slowed down a moment ago.

"Isaac…" she whined into his mouth, getting closer to the edge.

"You're okay, baby. You can cum for me. Just let it go." Isaac giving Faith permission was all it took for her to release all of the tension that had been pent up within her. She let out a drawn out and broken moan as she finally reached her orgasm, Isaac's fingers and voice still coaxing her through it. "That's it, baby, that's it. You're such a good girl for me. So fucking beautiful…"

His words felt like they were pulling Faith's orgasm out of her even longer, to the point where her legs began to tremble. Being the annoying little shit he was, Isaac then began to rub tight circles on Faith's already super sensitive clit. She cried out as she tried to close her thighs on her best friend's hand as the sensation became too overwhelming for her. But Isaac was much stronger and he kept her legs opened wide. To both of their surprise, a good amount of fluid squirted out from Faith. Not a crazy amount, but enough to make that damp spot underneath her even bigger. A shuddering gasp escaped past her lips as Isaac slowly brought her back down from her high.

If Isaac had it his way, he would've continued on and ravished the mother of his baby. But it was all too much for her so she pulled Isaac's hand away from her pussy and held it in both of her hands close to her chest. Isaac had the other arm wrapped around Faith as she caught her breath, keeping her as close as possible to him as she relished in the afterglow of her pleasure. Even Isaac needed to regain consciousness after such an intense moment between the two. He brushed his nose against Faith's exposed neck as she rested her head back on his shoulder.

"Faith, are you-"

"Shh," Faith hushed, her eyes still shut, "Give me a minute."

"Well, I think I can say that I've officially broken you," Isaac chuckled.

Faith only let out a weak groan, too exhausted to fight back. She tilted her head so she was now looking at the beta through half-opened eyes. His face was a lot closer to hers than she expected. That didn't seem to bother Isaac and he actually used this opportunity to place a sweet yet deep kiss on Faith's lips while rubbing his hands over her body to help her relax. Man, she had forgotten how incredible he was at aftercare when it came to sex.

"Should I help you out now?" she asked groggily.

"Hm?"

Faith lazily rubbed her backside against Isaac, who was very well erect right now. Wow, he didn't even realize how hard he had gotten. Although it wasn't that much of a shock considering how hearing his lover moan and seeing her go absolutely crazy over his foreplay always turned him on.

But instead of saying 'yes' like he really wanted to, Isaac shook his head. "It's okay. This was all about you. We can always take care of me next time."

"So there is gonna be a next time?"

"Only if you want there to be," Isaac told Faith.

Using all of the little energy she had left in her, Faith pushed herself up so she could fully face the beta. "Is this gonna be like a friends-with-benefits type of thing?"

"I think it's a bit more complex than that, don't you?" Isaac said, "You know, given our… situation." He gestured to Faith's belly.

"Regardless, maybe we should set some ground rules if we're gonna continue this."

"Okay…" Isaac said hesitantly, "What kind of ground rules?"

"Well, for starters," Faith began, "no more using your werewolf powers to sniff out whether I'm turned on or not. I don't like knowing that you have that advantage over me. It's just unfair."

"Don't you think you could tell if I'm turned on too?" Isaac questioned, "I do have more of a dead giveaway than you do." He pointed to said giveaway.

"It's not the same. So no wolfy senses."

"While I can't make any promises, I'll try my best to ignore my 'senses'. What else?"

"Number two- if we do anything sexual, it has to be here and when no one else is home. That means no sex in the car, at school, in the woods, none of that." Isaac snorted at this. "What? I don't know what you're into! Plus once I start to get bigger, I wanna be more comfortable while we do the deed."

One of Isaac's eyebrows quirked up. "Sometimes I don't understand how your brain works." Faith deadpanned. "Okay, fine, I have no problem with that. But can I add something to the list?" His best friend nodded. "I want us to communicate with each other more on what we like and don't like when it comes to sex. Now that you're pregnant, there's probably going to be a lot of new things that you wanna try and other things might be too challenging for you. And I'm okay with that. But I never wanna do something that you're not comfortable with. So if I ever make you feel uneasy with anything I say or do, don't be afraid to tell me, okay?"

The genuineness in Isaac's voice as he said that almost caught Faith off guard. She knew that he would never hurt her in any way. At least not intentionally. But Faith trusted him.

"Okay," she finally answered after realizing she was getting in her head again, "So next thing- kissing."

"What about it?" Isaac asked.

"Are you okay with still doing that?"

Isaac looked puzzled. "Why wouldn't I be okay with kissing you?"

"Because," Faith said, "I know people who have done the friends-with-benefits thing sometimes don't like to kiss since it's very intimate. I just don't want you to feel like you have to if you feel like it's too romantic for you."

Scooting a little closer, Isaac had smirked in a way that made the raven-haired girl thankful she was sitting because she would've gone weak in the knees. "Well, maybe I really like kissing you."

He proved his point by lightly gripping Faith's chin and placing a kiss on her lips that was certainly more than friendly. As much as Faith wanted to continue doing that, she had to break their lips apart so they could get back on track.

"Alright," she murmured, "Kissing is still on the table."

"So to recap, no using werewolf senses to smell you out, no public sex, better communication, and keep kissing," Isaac listed off using his fingers, "Is that all?"

"Actually, there is one more thing." Faith was a little more serious for this. That concerned Isaac. "If at any point during this we wanna start seeing other people, whether it be sexually or romantically, we immediately tell the other person and we'll put an end to it."

Now Isaac was the one that was taken aback. "Faith, we're having a baby. Do you actually think I'm gonna want to be dating other people right now?"

"I don't know!" she exclaimed, "I mean, I don't want you to think you have to be tied down to me just because we are having a baby together. And if we do date other people, it's even more important to discuss that with each other so we can figure out what roles they would play in our kid's life."

"Wait, are you thinking about dating?" Isaac accused.

"No! I'm just saying in a hypothetical scenario. Look, can you just humor me and agree that we talk to each other if that does happen? Please?"

For some odd reason, Isaac wasn't necessarily fond of this rule. Not because he didn't want to lose this sexual relationship with the mother of his baby. He wasn't in it strictly for the sex anyway. There was just something about the thought of Faith seeing other guys that didn't sit right with him. Especially when she's pregnant with their son or daughter. If she did end up finding someone else that she'd rather spend time with or worse, raise their baby with…

God help that poor kid because Isaac just might lose his damn mind.

But Faith was still waiting for an answer so he had to agree to this rule for her sake. Because in the end she was all that mattered. "Okay. I promise we'll talk it out."

"Good," Faith nodded, "I think that just about covers it then." Then she noticed the drying damp spot from earlier in between them and let out a huff. "And now I gotta change these damn sheets. Help me out since that was all your doing."

"You know what?" Isaac took hold of the girl's hand before she could attempt to stand up. "Why don't we hold off on that for now and we-"

"Isaac, normally I would agree to do it again, but I'm already worn out because of you and it's gonna take me at least an hour to recover before I could even go for a second round."

"I was actually gonna suggest we just lay down and maybe even get some rest for a bit."

Right. Well, who was Faith to argue with that? In fact, a little bit of shut eye sounded heavenly at the moment. "Yeah. We can do that."

Her best friend gently pulled her down so she was laying with him, avoiding the damp spot, of course. They were laying sideways so Isaac's legs were dangling over the bed a little, but he didn't care. Not when Faith curled her smaller body into him. She really wasn't kidding when she said that Isaac had wore her out because she almost instantly fell asleep in his strong arms.

Just seeing Faith so peaceful like this made the beta smile softly to himself. He was so used to sensing her nervous energy all the time that he was proud to be the one to help her feel at ease. Like Faith always did with him. One of Isaac's hands fell down to her belly so it felt like he was holding their baby as well. Then he shut his eyes, only realizing at that moment just how tired he was also.

Soon enough, Isaac's little family will finally be complete. Until then, cuddling with his favorite person was more than perfect for him.
