Theo Raeken Imagines

Second Heartbeat

You found Theo slumped on the kitchen floor, wheezing as he tried to catch his breath, slowly healing. It wasn't the first time you'd found him like that, in fact it wasn't even the first time that week, sick of your words falling on deaf ears you stepped over him, fetching a glass of water before heading back to bed.

"(Y/N)?" Theo called but you just ignored him.

He fell asleep on the kitchen floor, the sound of your heartbeat paired with the low softer whooshing one he'd been able to hear for weeks. He knew he was running out of time and the sound was just like a clock ticking away.

"Theo?" Scott called when he spotted the Chimera watching him.

"Just give up already." Theo sighed but the Alpha simply rolled his eyes and shrugged.

"Why should I Theo, you've been after me for years and all that's happened if I've grown stronger and you've gotten tired." Scott chuckled, growling when Theo looked like he might lunge for him.

Their fight lasted a good hour and a barely walking Theo escaped the McCall pack, bursting into the apartment which jolted you awake as he collapsed in the hall.

"Theo, we need to.... Theo!" you gasped and tried to help him up as best you could. "You have to stop this."

"No, I need to find us a pack." He growled, hissing when you grabbed at the medical kit that was shoved on top of the fridge and started to pull glass from his wounds before they could heal.

"No Theo, you need to stop because... I'm pregnant." You whispered the last part and he sighed.

"I've known for weeks and I don't care, I'm getting a pack." He shoved your hand away and snatched the pliers from you.

"Theo you're not going to make it back next time and I can't just..." He growled and leant back, calming himself before he spoke.

"You'd did just fine without me before." He watched as you stormed to your room, slamming the bedroom door hard enough for him to flinch.

After an hour, you decided to go and check on him but before you could get across the room the front door clicked shut loud enough for you to be worried.

"Theo?" You called from the top of the stairs, the front door wide open as you peered down into the apartment car parks trying to see Theo or the truck.

****************************************************************************

"Theo, what do you want now, I'm tired of fighting with you." Scott sighed when Theo came into the vets just as he had started closing up.

"We need to talk." Was all Theo said which made the Alpha frown and reluctantly usher him into his office.

"About what?" Scott sighed. "You've been attacking us since high school... what could you possibly want from me?"

"(Y/N) and the baby safe." Was all he said and Scott spluttered.

"What?" He gasped, watching Theo drum his fingers on the desk. "She's pregnant?"

"We both know people are going to want a chimera baby and even if it's born human, they'll try to kill them, any kids they had would probably end up like me." Theo sighed, both knowing that the chimera gene potently put you and the baby in the firing line for anyone who wanted a chimera of their own.

"Why can't you just protect her?" Scott sighed and Theo chuckled.

"I can't keep her safe I'm one person, not a pack or an alpha." He watched as Scott frowned before letting out a deep sigh.

"Stop the attacks on the pack and... anytime you need help protecting them we'll try to help." Scott held out his hand which Theo slowly shook.

"Hey, I'm home." Theo muttered quietly as he crouched next to your bed, stroking your cheek.

"You're healed already." You mumbled which made him laugh.

"I didn't get into a fight, I just spoke with Scott about what we wanted." He explained and you sat you quick enough to make Theo nervous.

"You listened to me." The smile on your face had Theo watching you in a daze for a moment, breaking out of his stair when you grabbed him but his jacket and kissed him.

"What was that for?" Theo asked and you giggled.

"What do I get for being peaceful and relatively polite?" He asked, nuzzling your neck.

"I love your Theo." You muttered and he growled, lifting you onto the bed as he kissed you all over with a frantic manner, stripping you both off before laying you down gently.

"That is one of the best incentives to be good I can think of." He hummed as your fingers tangled together.

"What're the others?" you asked curiously.

"The baby and well the fun part of making the baby." He grinned when you giggled again.

"Theo, you're a silly wolf." You sighed as he started to nibble down your neck.

"Hey, you fed me and gave me somewhere warm to sleep, you'd listened to Stiles and turfed me out when he said I'd have never come hurrying back with my tail between my legs." He mumbled as he dusted kisses into your collar bone.

"But you looked so cute with your little ears all flopping sadly and... Theo!" You squealed when he nipped your neck a little harder than you'd expected.You found Theo slumped on the kitchen floor, wheezing as he tried to catch his breath, slowly healing. It wasn't the first time you'd found him like that, in fact it wasn't even the first time that week, sick of your words falling on deaf ears you stepped over him, fetching a glass of water before heading back to bed.
