"you're not going anywhere." the white wolf hissed. Sal whined softly, ears drooping as he coward behind Larry. Larry backed him up, pushing him towards the water. Sal wasn't hesitant to get into the water. he wasn't very good at swimming but good enough to be safe in the water. Larry joined him in the water. the white wolf was afraid of the water, but Travis wasn't. Larry growled lowly.

"you know its physically impossible for you to get him right?" Larry ask. "an Alpha would die for his Omega." Larry growled protectively. Sal watched.

I can't keep this up, I'm going to drown. my body is getting tired...

he struggled to remember for a moment, who Larry had claimed to be.

"Ch-Charley!" Sal shouted. Larry's ears perked up. "I-I can't do this! my body is cramping!" Sal shouted.

"just hold on for a couple minutes." Larry replied. he could hear Sal getting closer to the land, close enough to stand on his back legs and breath a moment. Larry growls protectively, roaring as he tackles Travis, ripping into his throat. the white wolf walked closer to Sal. Sal couldn't help the low growl in his throat, though he was surprised. his body was moving on it's own, catching everyone's attention. Sal was confused as to what his body was doing, growling and snarling at the white wolf. his deep blue eye's flashed and he snapped at the white wolf, who jerked back quickly and whined in surprise.

"thats right bitch, back off!" Sal barked. he growled lowly, sharp teeth showing in a way that is very unlike Sal. Larry backed against Sal, he snapped at Travis, jumping at him.the two backed away. "whats the matter? I thought you wanted to play? not so much when it's a fair fight huh?" Sal growled. the other two ran off and Sal slumped.

"you okay?" Larry ask confused.

"I got... really..." Sal trailed.

"protective. yeah. parental instincts kicked in on me too." Larry muttered. Sal groaned softly and laid down slowly. Larry stopped him and picked him up on his back. "come on lets head back towards home." Larry murmured.

~~

Sal hadn't returned to his human form, his body simply hadn't let him. he was too tired to freak out, so Lisa let the boys sleep in the living room, hoping Sal would have enough room to move around. they moved the couch out of the way and had slept peacefully. once they woke up, Larry had showered and stretched and looked at Sal. Sal laid on his side with a groan.

"you hungry?" Lisa ask hesitantly. Larry shook his head at her.

"we're fine." Larry replied.

"are you sure?" Lisa ask, looking at them.

I'm fine.

"we're good mom." Larry replied. Sal groaned as he suddenly reverted to his normal state. he laid on his back in the floor. no mask, no shirt, no shoes, only his shorts. Larry walked over and scooped Sal up, taking him to his bedroom. Larry laid him on his bed, but couldn't help letting his gaze drift. Sal smacked him hard when he realized he was staring at his stomach.

"stop." Sal hissed.

"your transformation must've been slowed by the-" Larry started.

"shut up I don't care." Sal hissed, curling around his stomach. Larry knelt down and kissed his forehead. he cupped Sal's cheek, rubbing his thumb over Sal's cheek bone.

"hey, I know you're frustrated and tired. I know you're angry and you hate me. I'm sorry." Larry murmured. he kissed Sal deeply. "I have to go to school alright? I'll be back." Larry said. he cast his glance back down to the small bump in Sal's stomach.

"take a good fucking look, as soon as it's gone, that bump is never coming back." Sal warned. Larry nods slightly and kisses him deeply.

"I'm sorry again." Larry added. Sal nods and watches him get dressed for school.

"hey Lar, you don't think...." Sal trailed.

"hmm?" Larry ask looking at him.

"what if... it's like us and it has two forms? we can't just drop it in the woods somewhere..." Sal said.

"and we can't really just give it to someone. I'll talk to Buck. just get some sleep." Larry murmured, walking out of the room. Sal watches him.

"okay... I love you." Sal said quietly. Larry couldn't help the smile on his lips. he hadn't heard those words in a while.

"I love you too Sally." Larry smiled and walked out of the room.

~~

Sal laid around all day, after helping Lisa move the couch back. he didn't want to talk to Lisa. he was afraid of what she'd say. he was afraid of being pressured into keeping this, whatever it was. he had expressed his concerns to Larry and he knew that Larry would do as he said and find out from Buck what they could do. maybe Buck would keep it? he was old and experienced. Sal yelped, clutching his stomach as he leaned against the arm of the couch. Lisa's head snapped up. she knew she should've moved the couch herself.

"Sal? are you alright? whats wrong?" Lisa ask, walking over to him.

"pain. thats whats wrong." Sal managed, lowering himself to the ground.

"don't sit on the ground. come on. lets get you up onto the couch." Lisa said, kneeling to help him up. Sal shook his head, hand clutching his belly hard.

"not moving. lots of pain. staying here." Sal replied, leaning back against the couch. Lisa ran off to the kitchen. she came back after a couple minutes, kneeling down.

"here. this is a hot water bottle. it'll help with the pain." Lisa said. Sal nodded and held it to his stomach.

"is pain normal?" Sal ask, looking at her.

"um... well... define normal. have a wolf child is not entirely normal. I wouldn't know." Lisa replied honestly.

"right. thanks." Sal muttered.

"come on. lets get you on the couch. alright?" Lisa ask. Sal nods slightly, wincing. Lisa helped Sal up onto the couch. Sal laid out on the couch groaning in pain, his left leg bent at the knee and pressed against the couch cushion. Lisa watched him worriedly as Sal bit back a scream. Sal dropped the hot water bottle, rolling off the couch. his clothes were tearing, fur was appearing. Lisa jumped out of the way, hiding in her room. Sal whined laying on the floor, in pain. Lisa poked her head out after a few minutes. Sal laid on the floor in his wolf form. Lisa ran over. "Sal? hey are you alright?" Lisa ask softly, kneeling in front of him. Sal nodded slightly, wincing. he stood slowly heading for Larrys room. Lisa ran in front of him, opening Larry's door. Sal curled up in Larry's room on the floor groaning.

~~

Larry walked in to his and his mothers apartment.

"hey mom I'm home." Larry called. Lisa walked over.

"hey... um... Sals in your room. he's... a wolf again..." Lisa said.

"oh thats fun." Larry replied, opening his door. Sal looked over at him. Larry smiled at him, walking over and kissing his head. Sal whines softly. "hey baby." Larry smiled. Sal grunts slightly. "you're not supposed to change before night time." Larry said.

suck it Larry.

"I think you're getting close to time." Larry said.

shut up Larry I'm in pain.

"I know Sal." Larry murmured. "its getting kind of late. you ready to head out?" Larry ask.

not really. I'm safer in here. besides my body is doing whatever the hell it wants.

"right." Larry replied. he laid on the foor beside Sal. Sal reached a large paw over and grabbed him, pulling him towards his face. Larry didn't move just let him do what he wanted. when he was done, one of his large paws was under Larry's head, the other was over his legs, and his massive head was laid on Larry's chest. Larry chuckled softly bringing his arms up to hug Sal's muzzle. Sal growled softly at that but pulled him closer. "that must be momma bear insticts." Larry said. Sal growled again.

call me that again and I'll eat you.

Larry laughed and nodded.

"no eating the boyfriend for breakfast." Larry said.

oh I won't. I'll dump you first and then eat you.

"hey!" Larry glared. Sal huffed a laugh, pulling him closer.

~~

Larry sleeping curled up under Sal was becoming a regular thing, as Sal couldn't seem to return to his human form. when Henry, Sal's father, had ask where he was, Larry claimed he hadn't seen Sal in two months and had just assumed he was with his father. the police claimed he was a runaway and didn't even look for him. there were posters for Sal here and there, but the gang notice Larry wasn't sad or upset. he was acting like normal, he knew where Sal was. they'd confronted him and Larry sighed. he promised them Sal was okay and just needed sometime to himself. school was getting lame without Sal. Larry was tired and ready to have Sal back. he walked into his apartment.

"hi Larry." Lisa said. she seemed giddy.

"mom?" Larry ask. Lisa waived him off. Larry shook his head and walked into his room. he paused, staring at his bed. Sal was curled up on his bed, snoring, a large blackish blue fuzzy thing laying beside him. "what is that?" Larry muttered walking over.

"don't touch him. he's sleeping." Sal muttered.

"Sal what is that?" Larry ask.

"that would be the thing we were disgussing leaving with Buck." Sal replied, sitting up. he wiped at his eye's.

"you okay?" Larry ask, looking the pup over.

"I'm fucking fine now that I don't have that thing taking up more space in my body than my organs." Sal replied. he cuddled the pup. "we need to take him to Buck." Sal said.

"but he's cute." Larry said.

"what?" Sal ask.

"why can't we keep him as a pet?" Larry ask.

"because I don't want him Larry." Sal hissed.

"I know he was an accident, but he's cute." Larry replied.

"no he's not. he was an accident and I don't want him. I want him to never have existed." Sal said.

"I want to keep him." Larry said. Sal looked at him.

"what?" Sal ask.

"you heard me. I want to keep him. lets name him!" Larry said. the pup yawned sitting up and looking around. he cuddled to Sal, who shoved him away. Larry walked over and hugged the pup. "stop it Sal! he's just a pup!" Larry shouted.

"I don't want him! just stop it!" Sal hissed. he got up from the bed, leaving the room and slamming the door behind him roughly. he headed for his apartment and locked his bedroom door. Larry sighed softly and scratched the pups head.

"mommy's sad. he'll get over it though." Larry assured. the pup whined softly, nuzzling Larry. Larry transforms and nuzzles the pup gently. he looked up when he heard footsteps, Lisa was watching them. he looked at her.

"where's Sal?" Lisa ask.

"I told him I wanted to keep him and he ran." Larry replied. Lisa walks over and pets the pup gently.

"yeah. I said he was cute and Sal blew up on me." Lisa sighed.

"maybe we should take him to Buck. Sal said he didn't want him." Larry sighed. "stay here I'll be back." Larry muttered, transforming back. he headed upstairs to talk to Sal.

~~

Sal had refused to transform. he didn't want the wolf pup clinging to him. Larry didn't mind and walked with the pup.

"stay here." Larry said walking off. Sal sat on the ground waiting. he heard a growl and looked over. it wasn't the pup.

"that you?" Sal ask. the pup whined, cowaring towards Sal. Sal looked at him then around the woods.
