I Need Your Touch

6

Liam had two major things to think about. One, telling his parents about the supernatural and his condition. Two, he had to figure out what he was gonna do about the baby.

Theo wanted him to keep it, he promised to be there for Liam every step of the way. He had told the pack after leaving the clinic. Most of them were surprised, given none of them knew it was possible. Most were just wondering why Theo. Liam was too embarrassed to admit the reason. Thankfully Scott stepped in and told them it didn't matter.

After getting over the shock of Liam's pregnancy, the pack offered their support. Each claiming that they would help him take care of the baby. Lydia and Mason both started to talk about throwing a baby shower for the beta. Liam stayed quiet through the whole meeting. He didn't even look up from his the ultrasound picture Deaton had given him.

Theo stayed in the background. Watching the pack for any sign that he was in trouble. Once he was cleared he sat near Liam, his hearing focused in on the heartbeat of the baby. He couldn't help it. His child was growing inside of Liam. The heartbeat was so strong. How could he not listen to something so beautiful?

When the meeting was over Liam asked to speak to Scott. Theo couldn't help but follow the two wolves. He felt the need to stay close to Liam, to protect him. The three teens walked into Scott's room. Liam took a moment to gather his thoughts. He wasn't sure how to ask or if he should.

"What's up Liam?" Scott looked at Liam curiously before his attention turned to Theo. The chimera stood in the doorway, eyes following Liam as he paced. "I know I need to tell my parents, especially if I decide to have this baby. I just don't know how to do that, or what to say." Liam looked up at Scott finally. "Can you help me?"

Scott agreed to help Liam. He knew how stressful and terrifying it could be to reveal this side to people. He was to forced to tell the truth to his mom, he was left with no choice when it came to his dad. Everyone else found out because someone exposed him. He didn't want Liam to have to go through everything he did.

Scott asked his mom to help him. He figured it would be good to have a parent that has gone through this on their side. She agreed and told Liam if worse comes to worse he was welcome in her home. Same for Theo. She would take the two teens in and she would even be more than happy to help Liam raise his child. Everyone was more than supportive and Liam still didn't know if he even wanted to have the baby.

Scott drove him and his mom to Liam's house. Theo took Liam, he wanted a chance to really talk to Liam. He had a chance to let everything sink in and he needed to know where Liam was with everything. "How are you feeling Liam?" The chimera looked at the younger teen quickly. "Honestly, I don't know. Everyone is being supportive and offering their help. They didn't even seem to care all that much about you being the dad." Liam took a deep breath and looked at Theo.

"I know you want this baby, and a part of me does as well, but another part... Another part of me wants me to abort the baby and just continue on with life." It was out there. The two things he had been battling with since leaving the clinic. "If it's truly something you want to do Liam, I won't stand in your way. I just ask that you really think about it. Really consider what it means. Weigh both sides of the argument."

Theo wanted this baby more than anything. He wanted this small family, even if it means split custody. He'd take weekends and every other birthday over nothing at all. "Tell me why you want the baby. Argue that side, cause all I can do is argue to abort it." Liam needed to know why Theo wanted it, he needed to know the other side of the argument.

"I want him or her because I'll have family again. Not just a family member, but a son or a daughter. A human being that will be half of me and half of you, something good that I helped create." Theo pulled over in front of Liam's house. "They would be someone we both would love no matter what. We would protect them, teach them everything we know. We would get to watch them grow up."
