Back By The Bay

(Story Post; Bonus Sketch At End)

Nathan took Reid up on his offer to go with him to see the bear man again. It was the first time Nathan had to take the kids on a plane and he had no idea what to expect. Just having one baby on a flight was enough to annoy some people, but two that could shapeshift? A whole new game. At the very least, they proved that they were more likely to stay human around strangers so Reid was happy to sit with both in his lap. They got very lucky and the twins napped for the whole flight and only cried when they were woken up to be put back in their carriers at the end of the flight. They promptly fell right back to sleep then. Once again, Nathan was nervous on the drive over. He’d asked Korsgaard if his son would be available to go with them, but while Korsy was in town, it was his day off, so the werewolf was stuck with Hanover again. Introducing the twins to their father just wasn’t something Nathan had expected to do for all the months he’d carried them. Kent simply hadn’t been calculated into his plans and now here he was about to meet them in person.

“Have some water, Nathan,” Reid offered to calm him down. “You look pale.” “I look pale?” Nathan retorted, taking the water anyway. “Well, paler than usual,” Reid said rolling his eyes. “You’ll be alright. You’ve dealt with Kent already.” “Not alone. Not without Dax,” Nathan said. “That’s why I’m here, laddie,” Reid said. “You’re not alone. You have nothing to be afraid of.” “I feel like this is a mistake,” Nathan said. “I keep wishing Dax was here. I can’t get him out of my head.” Reid smiled. “That’s alright. Sometimes you need time apart to really realise how you feel.” “But he cheated on me,” Nathan argued. “I shouldn’t feel this way about someone who would do that.” “You know my opinion on the matter and I won’t bore you with repetition…” When the van pulled up to the cottage, Kent was outside again waiting for them. Nathan got out first, carrying the twins strapped to his back and chest. He waved to Kent and the bear man came over. “…This is them…” Kent said, freezing in front of Nathan. “They’re here.” “Good afternoon to you, too,” Nathan said, a bit annoyed. “My week was fine. How was yours?” “Sorry if I don’t waste my time greetin’ you, I only just met my children for the first time,” Kent said. “My week was shit, just waitin’ to see them in person.” “First of all, language,” Nathan said. “Second, do not tell me being a decent human being to the father of your children is a waste of time, and third, I lied. My week was shit too.” “Oh, so I can’t say shit, but you can?” Kent growled. “Don’t growl at me in front of my kids!” Nathan said. “Now, now, boys,” Reid said coming over and placing his hands on the werewolf’s shoulders. “Let’s bring it down a notch, shall we?” “Now who the f—Rrr! Who is this?!” Kent said, pushing Reid’s chest making him step back. “You replacin’ celery stick already?” “No, no, it’s me!” Reid said, offering a hand. “Dr. Reid Gardi. I was the doctor who discovered Nathan’s pregnancy. We met briefly.” “I don’t remember you at all,” Kent huffed. “Ah… That’s fair,” Reid said, though he looked a little let down. “I had different hair and such…” Kent glared at Nathan. “You said it’d just be you and the kids.” “Yeah, well I didn’t want to come back alone,” Nathan said. “You haven’t done much to make me trust you.” Kent looked Reid up and down, scowling. “So, what’s your deal then?” “My deal?” Reid asked. “Everyone’s got somethin’ goin’ on.” Kent patted himself then placed a hand on Nathan’s head. “Bear. Wolf. Fuckin’ thunderbirds, aliens, and shit. What’s with you?” “Oh. Uh, I mean I’m just human,” Reid said. “But I research the paranormal and such…” “He used to fuck ghosts, something went wrong, and he pretty much died. He was brought back, now he looks like this,” Nathan said. “Does that answer your question?” Kent huffed. “Pretty much.” He looked down at Grace strapped to Nathan’s chest. “…Can I hold them?” “Oh. Sure… Let’s start with one, though.” Nathan took Grace out and let Kent hold her. She was still a bit drowsy from her nap and whined as she was moved, but once she was in the bear man’s big hands, she curled back up and closed her eyes. Kent smiled and held her close, moving the hair out of her face. He took a deep breath, clearly trying to hide the tears coming to his eyes. “Come inside.” Nathan let Reid go ahead of him so Kent couldn’t slam the door in his face. Once they got inside though, Nathan stopped in his tracks. Sitting on the couch waiting for them was Dax himself, looking incredibly nervous. “…Dax,” Nathan said. “Why are you here? When did you get here?” Dax got up quickly and opened his hands. “I only got here about a half hour ago, Kent and I only just talked briefly. And I am so sorry, I know you wanted a whole week apart, but I… I was scared, and I didn’t want to risk losing you and—” Nathan went up and hugged his boyfriend. Dax was shocked but he didn’t hesitate to wrap his arms around Nathan, careful of Gabriel in the back. He buried his face in the werewolf’s shoulder. “…I’m sorry. I missed you too much…” Nathan sniffled and pulled away a bit. “I am happy you’re here because I missed you, but how did you get here? Did you guys arrange this?” “Well, I… Actually, I called Kent, and I told him I wanted to come back because I think we still all need to talk, and he agreed, you know, reluctantly…” He looked over at Kent who had just sat himself down on the couch with Grace and was giving all his attention to her. “I made my own way up… Took a train.” “You paid yourself? APID didn’t help?” Nathan asked. “Well, no. I mean, they were only really supporting you seeing Kent since you have the kids together. I was just extra last time.” Dax frowned and took Nathan’s hands. “But I’m here because I don’t want to be extra. I love you, Nathan. I love you so much. I need you to know that.” Nathan stared at him and blushed. “I… Dax…” He looked at their hands together and he looked back up to him. “I love you, too.” Dax smiled and caressed Nathan’s face. “I’m so glad…” Nathan kept his arms around Dax’s torso. “I am really happy to see you here… But I think we all need to talk and be transparent… First though, can I talk to you in private?” Dax nodded quickly. “Yes, of course.” “Could you get Gabriel out for me and let Kent see him too?” Nathan asked. “Sure.” Dax got the baby out from the back carrier and handed him to Kent to hold. The bear man accepted him swiftly and set both babes in his lap to play with. “Reid, you’ll watch them, right?” Nathan asked. “Oh, aye. I promised,” Reid said, taking a seat in the armchair across from Kent. The bear man completely ignored him. “Also, hello, Dax.” “Sorry, Dr. Gardi. Hello,” Dax said. “I’m sorry you got dragged into this.” “No worries, and I am officially Nathan’s friend now which means we are friends too and we are on a first name basis, please,” Reid said grinning. “You have no idea how incredibly glad I am to see you here.” “Come on,” Nathan said, holding open the back door. Dax waved to Reid and then followed Nathan outside.

Update 

Story Post

“You're pregnant?!” Camilo was in complete disbelief when Nathan came into Korsgaard's office for their meeting. Nathan rubbed the back of his neck. “With twins. I don't know if I'm keeping them, though.” “Scared?” Korsgaard asked. Nathan nodded and sat down. “Yeah. Terrified.” Korsgaard nodded. “Okay to be scared.” “Yeah.”

Camilo sat beside Korsgaard reading through Reid's update. When he was finished he looked up at Nathan. “‘Dawson Grace is the suspected father'? When did you have sex with Dawson Grace?!” “Cam,” Korsgaard said in a warning tone. “Calm.” “Three months ago, apparently,” Nathan answered, feeling really embarrassed just thinking being intimate with the bear man. “It happened when I was the wolf though… I don’t remember it and I didn’t have control.” Camilo tried to calm down. “I just… I can't believe that could even happen… You have a uterus but in this form, it's just not attached to anything?” “Yeah, I guess,” Nathan said. “No way out.” Korsgaard took the tablet from Camilo and looked through. “Reid says he'd do a C-section. If you’re human when you give birth.” Nathan nodded. “Yeah.” “Okay. Noted.” Korsgaard said. “That's it?” Camilo asked. “Just noted?” Korsgaard shrugged. “Medical stuff. Not our business. Just good to know.” “We're not going to talk about Dawson Grace's involvement in this?” Camilo asked. “What it can mean for Nathan if he keeps these kids? How this pregnancy will affect our research?” “Nathan talked to Grace,” Korsgaard said pointing out the note. “And Reid's handling the pregnancy research.” Camilo frowned and looked to Nathan. “Did he hurt you at all?” Nathan shook his head. “No, but I don’t remember anything. I mean, I can’t say my feelings were left unscathed when I talked to him today, but… Yeah.” “Well, he'll be gone in a few days. You won't have to worry about him upsetting you,” Camilo said. “Yeah,” Nathan said, though he really didn't know if Kent leaving was a good thing. “Plans for Nathan,” Korsgaard said nudging Camilo and handing him the tablet. “Right…” Camilo opened up their research. “So, we know from Grace that there is a pack of werewolves with an alpha female leader. He says that if the alpha bites a human then their wolf form will be female, regardless of their actual sex. We can only assume that's the truth since we see that kind of transformation in you. And then we have our footage of that female who attacked you. It's possible she could be the alpha trying to kill you to fix her mistake. Do you remember at all what the wolf that bit you had looked like?” Nathan shrugged. “Honestly, I don't… I remember it being big but that's all.” “Hmm… Well our plan is to locate and arrest at least one of these werewolves and interrogate them,” Camilo said. “They may have information on a cure.” “I don't know…” Nathan said. “Don't you think if they had a cure, they'd use it for themselves?” “I said ‘information on a cure',” Camilo reiterated. “It's possible they too have looked into it. They might be further into finding the answer. If so, it might be our technology and resources that bridge the gap to a cure.” “Oh. Yeah, I guess…” Nathan said. “But I'm not involved in this, am I?” “Not if you don’t want to be.” “I don’t want to be.” “Then you won't be.” Camilo marked it down in his notes. “How has sleeping over been for you?” “It's fine, I guess,” Nathan said. “I don't wake up in my backyard anymore which is nice. I'm a lot hungrier now though I guess because I can't hunt. But I get to have big breakfasts in the morning which is nice. The cafeteria bacon is a lot better prepared than I would expect. Prices aren't half bad either.” “Good. Have you visited the common area?” Camilo asked. “Not yet. Just the cafeteria,” Nathan said. “I'm kinda surprised… I expected the aliens to be more… I guess, less humanoid.” “Yeah, it's a galaxy thing,” Camilo said. “Nearby planets will typically have similar looking species.” “I guess that makes sense…” Nathan said nodding. “I guess since I'm used to Yulinians, I expected to see more of them down there but really weren't any…” “Yeah, Yulinians are really good at keeping up with immigration standards and requirements,” Camilo said. “You won’t likely see one get deported. Most of them are here on business and peacekeeping, too so they're not looking for citizenship.” “Lots of Eclulo,” Nathan said. “They're nice.” “Nice, but not familiar with taxation,” Camilo said. “Their planet is a very fend for yourself kind of place so when they get here they don't want to contribute to the wellbeing of strangers.” “But isn't the fact that you guys are helping them paid for by taxes?” Nathan said. “Yeah.” Camilo shrugged and looked through the Nathan's information. “So, it seems like that's it for now. If you're comfortable staying over night at APID then you're room is still reserved for you. Dr. Gardi made a request to examine you tonight to check in on the pregnancy…” Camilo rolled his lips. “You know, if you ever want to talk about the pregnancy, you can talk to me.” Nathan shook his head. “It's okay… I'm already talking to the doc about it and we're handling it.” “Okay…” Camilo smiled and passed the tablet to Korsgaard. “Then, I believe that's it for our meeting today. Oh, but how's work going? Korsgaard was one of the staff who really pushed for the school to be built. We're really excited to see how it's going for the kids.” “It's great,” Nathan said. “On the first day, I could tell the kids weren't used to being around other kids except siblings and it took a few days to get them out of their shells, but they're really getting used to it now.” “Woulda liked a school like that when my kids were little,” Korsgaard said. Nathan blinked looking at his caseworker. “Are you…are you not human?” Korsgaard huffed in the form of chuckle. “I am.” He turned around a picture frame on his desk to show a picture of a teenage boy with a baby girl in his lap. They both had dark skin and bright coloured hair, but with very European features and pointed ears. “My wife was en mørk elf.” “Oh.” Nathan leaned in and took a look at the pictures, figuring Korsgaard meant dark elf. “…Was?” “Lost her a couple years ago,” Korsgaard said. “I'm sorry.” “Mm.” Nathan squinted at the picture. “Have I seen your son before?” “Maybe,” Korsgaard said. “Korsy works here,” Camilo said. “But he does field work so he's often out on missions.” “I see,” Nathan said. “His name's Korsy Korsgaard?” “No,” Korsgaard stated. “First born Korsgaard’s all go by their last names,” Camilo said. “Regardless of gender. Weird tradition.” “Not weird,” Korsgaard corrected. “Family pride.” “I see.” Nathan put the picture frame down. “He looks exactly like you. Dark elf recolour.” “Yeah, he's very proud,” Camilo said. “Well, if you ever have grandkids, I'd be honoured to teach them,” Nathan said. “One day,” Korsgaard agreed. Nathan smiled. “I guess I'll get going. Is there anything else I should know about?” “No, I don't think so,” Camilo said. “Then we're all good here, I think. I believe, having Grace these late couple weeks has ben a benefit to our research for sure and we can be sure that progress is happening.” “Alright. Thanks, guys.” Nathan stood up and shook their hands. “When do you think we'll meet next?” “While we're in the wolf period, I believe we should meet weekly,” Camilo said. “You'll get an email,” Korsgaard said. “Okay. See you then.” “Yes. See you, Nathan. Stay strong.”
