Taking long strides, Dino anxiously walked up the small steps to Little Whispers Home; the orphanage affiliated with the Big Brother/Big Sister program. This is the place where Dino was going to meet the child he was going to mentor/foster, so he was understandably nervous. He was going to meet the child who was going to be depending on him and looking up to him, so kind of like how he would care about Woolfster but this was going to be a CHILD.(And not a furry). Dino had stopped at the main door, hesitating on opening it up as he stood there nervous.

"..."

He quickly turned around and tried to walk away as Laff grabbed him by his arm, pulling him back to the main door "No mate, no." He let go of Dino as he crossed his arms "You can't just walk away from something you literally signed up for." Dino sighed and put his hands in his pockets "I know...I'm just nervous." Laff smiled softly and patted his shoulder "Hey, you're gonna be okay. You have a really caring personality, you'll be fine." Dino glanced at him and smiled softly, muttering 'thank you' under his breath before grabbing the door handle and opening the main door.

The lady in the main room looked up from her desk and smiled "Ah! Mr.Dino, I presume?" Dino flinched and looked at her as he nodded "Ah, yeah. I'm here for the-" The lady nodded and started typing on the computer "Alright, I'll let Jenny know and she'll get your foster child out to take to your home! You can take a seat right there, it wouldn't be longer than 15 minutes." Dino nodded and sat down as the lady looked at Laff "Ah! Mr.Gas!?"

Laff looked over at her and waved "Oh, hello again." The lady glanced around "Is Muffin with you? You came by earlier to-" Laff chuckled softly and waved his hand "Not to worry lass, the little lad is safe and sound at my house with my partner and a dear friend of mine. He was having a blast with Nadwe before Mr.Responsible here called me up to come as moral support. I am however glad we were able to plan a playdate, I have never seen my son that happy in a while once he saw Muffin. He will be returned before sundown, but I came to make sure-" He glanced back at Dino who was eying the main door as he cleared his throat.

Dino flinched and looked away from the door, folding his hands in his lap. Laff sighed quietly and glanced at the lady at the desk before smiling softly "Dino here is a very caring gent, he just gets nervous about change. Believe me, he was a WRECK when one of our friends moved away for college." The lady giggled softly as Dino glared at Laff, scowling a bit.

The laptop dinged with an incoming message as the lady looked at it, smiling "Ah, Jenny's on her way!" Dino's eyes widened a bit as he got up out of his chair quickly. Laff saw this coming and quickly ran to the door and stood in front of it, grabbing onto both of the handles "No, Dino, no, don't you dare think about it." Dino looked at him a bit panicked, flexing his hands "But-" Laff quickly raised his hand a bit, cutting him off "No." Dino let out a small, anxious huff as he tried to get around Laff "But-"

Laff quickly deadpanned him ""

Dino flinched and quickly backpedaled, sitting back down in the chair as Laff remained standing in front of the main door outside. He huffed quietly and crossed his arms, "can't run out of it when you're committed Dino. I know it's scary, but you're going to do great I swear." He muttered quietly as he looked at Dino. "...And if you bail on this child, I will personally never ever forgive you, got it?" Dino's eyes widened a bit as he nodded quickly.

One of the side doors opened as Dino quickly stood up in anticipation, a different lady walked out from the doorway smiling softly. "Mr.Dino, is it?" Jenny quietly asked as Dino nodded silently, she smiled in response as she pushed the door open more to let a 7-year-old girl walk past her carrying an overstuffed backpack and a trash bag filled with old stuffed animals. She was wearing a sweater that was too big for her, a pair of ragged jeans, dirty sneakers and her hair was covering her eyes as she sheepishly stood there.

"This is Ursula." Dino looked at Ursula as he knelt down to her height, "Ursula, this is Dino. Your new foster home." Dino moved his hair out of his face to get a better look at the small child as Ursula did the same. Laff chuckled a bit at the exchange as the two stared at each other, unsure of what to do as Dino glanced to the side a bit. "...um.." He looked back at Ursula "Hi, I'm-" Ursula quickly dropped her trash bag and hugged Dino tightly without hesitation. His eyes widened a bit as he grew tense, glancing over at Laff who gave him a small thumbs up. Dino glanced back at Ursula and very carefully wrapped his arms around her, holding her in a hug as Ursula didn't let go.

Running around the living room, Muffin and Nadwe were running away from Shroobz as he chased the two, laughing. "I'm gonna get you two!" Muffin squealed and climbed over an armchair "YOU WILL NEVER!!" He jumped off the chair onto the couch as Shroobz quickly caught him, throwing him up over his shoulder and holding him there. He grinned and looked over at Nadwe who quickly ran into the kitchen, squealing loudly. Nadwe quickly opened the large pot cupboard and ducked inside, shutting the door and covering his mouth.

"Nadwe?~ Where are you?~"

Nadwe giggled quietly into his hands as Shroobz walked around the kitchen, opening every cabinet except the one Nadwe was in as he carried Muffin across his shoulder. Muffin was giggling, covering his face as Shroobz stopped. He glanced to Muffin and made a 'be quiet' gesture and pointed over to the large pot cabinet. "Oh well, I checked the ENTIRE kitchen, and I can't find Nadwe ANYWHERE! So I guess I'll head into the living room now..." Muffin quickly went silent as Shroobz tucked the both of them behind the side of the fridge. After a few minutes, Nadwe opened the cabinet and slowly crawled out, looking around as he sighed in relief. He walked over to the entryway into the living room and looked around confused "What-"

Shroobz quickly came out from behind the fridge and picked him up "GOTCHA!" Nadwe screamed and laughed as Muffin quickly joined in, both of them were laughing like maniacs as Shroobz brought them both to the couch. He tossed the two onto the couch as they kept laughing happily, Muffin quickly calmed down and giggled happily. Shroobz smiled and ruffled his hair "You having fun?" Muffin squeaked and giggled, nodding happily "So much fun sir!" The workaholic smiled and patted his head. "That's good."

Nadwe's head perked up a bit just as someone was knocking on the door, Muffin gasped and threw his arms up "NEW PEOPLE!" Shroobz walked over to the door, opening it up and being greeted by Tbh, Joocie, Blaza and Meme in the doorway. Both Joocie and Tbh had their hands intertwined, Joocie resting his head on Tbh's shoulder as he was smiling softly. Blaza chuckled softly and waved "Hey Shroobz." Shroobz smiled and invited the four inside "Hey, Laff didn't say he was expecting company. I would have made something." Tbh chuckled quietly and walked inside with them "Aw it's okay."

The minute Nadwe saw Meme, he quickly got up and ran over to him, hugging his leg tightly as he flinched. Meme looked down at him and smiled sadly, bending down and picking him up "Hey Nad.." Nadwe quickly hugged him tightly as Meme held him. Shroobz and Muffin watched the exchange as he sighed quietly "Lemme guess, Socks is still not talking to you?" Meme sighed and sat down in the armchair "Yeah...it's been four days, I-I just..."

Blaza quickly sat on the arm of the chair and rubbed his shoulder "Hey chin up! I'm sure Socks will pull his head out of his ass soon." Tbh nodded and pulled Joocie close "Yeah, he certainly can't keep the idea of you cheating on him in his mind forever." Joocie glanced back to him and narrowed his eyes "Watch it, Honest. Not in front of the kids." He muttered to him as Tbh nuzzled him in response. Shroobz sighed quietly again and looked at Meme "I will let you know this, if Socks keeps up with this bullshit, I will personally go kick his ass. I know he can become jealous, but this is unfair for you." He perked up a bit at a soft tapping noise back in the main hallway, he glanced over in that direction and saw Wictoria motioning him over.

"Ah, hows about this?" He started as he turned back to the group, looking at Nadwe and Muffin "How about you two show these fine gents all the wonderful art projects you two do at school?" Both boys quickly brightened up as Nadwe quickly got down from Meme's lap, running over to his backpack as Tbh and Joocie sat down on the couch chuckling. In the commotion, Shroobz quickly ducked out of the room and into Laff's bedroom, walking over to the bathroom and quietly knocking.

Wictoria quietly opened the door as Shroobz backtracked to shut the bedroom door. "Well?" He asked as Wictoria fiddled nervously with a small plastic stick in her hands. She was going to hand it over before Shroobz quickly cut her off "Wait, let me see your phone." Wictoria blinked, confused and hesitant "Huh? Why should I-"

"Just please." Shroobz interrupted as Wictoria reluctantly took out her phone and handed it to him. Shroobz quickly walked to Laff's desk, put it on the edge of the desk and quickly snapped it in half. Wictoria froze and gasped "SHROOBZ! WHAT ARE-" Shroobz dropped the two halves and crushed the end with the mic on it completely to bits. He huffed quietly and pulled out a similar phone to hers and handed it back "Don't worry, I made you a backup one." Wictoria took it back and still looked a little pissed "But you-"

"BTS has eyes and ears everywhere Tori, so I knew there was a bug installed in your old phone." He pointed to the one in her hand "THIS one has no bugs and is impossible to track." Wictoria looked really stunned as she turned the phone over in her hand before putting it in her pocket "But why would you-" Shroobz rolled his eyes as the normally calm demeanor about him was gone "I'm not an idiot Tori, I KNOW the two of you didn't use any protection." He took out the same wrapped condom that Wictoria had stuffed in between Laff's mattress and box spring days earlier "I GAVE you this for a reason."

Wictoria looked really embarrassed as she glanced away "...Well...y-you are right about one thing..." Shroobz sighed quietly and pointed to the broken phone "I do not feel safe about ANY of those fuckers you work for or with knowing a lick about this. I do not have a clue what would happen if they found out, but I know that none of it will be any good. Not sir Usurper, not lord Roserade, and especially not even fucking Syce. He is currently too mentally broken down to become aware of what he is even doing anymore." Wictoria was trembling in fear as she set the positive pregnancy test down on the bathroom sink "I know! I-mn..." She rubbed her face as she looked at Shroobz, really terrified "What do I do?"

Shroobz quickly put a hand on her shoulder "No one in BTS knows about this, got it? When you do start to show, make up any and every excuse not to be called into a meeting and better fucking pray they don't get suspicious about your activity. The only ones who SHOULD know are Laff and Nadwe, I wouldn't tell the others at the moment since Socks is letting his jealousy control his judgment and I have a feeling shit might go down between Tbh and Joocie." Wictoria blinked at the last part and tilted her head "How are you sure?" Shroobz shrugged "I dunno, just a hunch but Tbh is prone to always ruin a good thing one way or another. Just, keep quiet about this to everyone. When Laff comes back home, he is the ONLY one you tell this to, got it?"

Still freaking out herself, Wictoria nodded softly as Shroobz took his hand away "Good...and one more thing." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small wristband and grabbed Wictoria's hand gently, pulling it over and strapping the wristband on her. She took a minute to look at it as Shroobz fixed his beanie which was sliding off "It's a device that scrambles cameras when you walk into a room. It's much easier doing this than going through every hospital, ER and planned parenthood in the entire city for any trace of BTS meddling in their affairs." Wictoria nodded softly as Shroobz pointed to his face with two fingers "Remember, Trust No One, but this time it'll be applied in if you ever see one of the undercover snitches roaming around."

" 'Don't show, Don't tell'...right?" Wictoria timidly asked as Shroobz dragged his fingers across his lips as if to zip his lips up and flicking his fingers like throwing away a key. She brightens up a bit and did the exact same motion as he did, Shroobz nodded in response and started walking to the door as Wictoria quickly stopped him "Hey wait- If you had something to hide yourself from the cameras, then...why throw your hat at the cameras?" Shroobz looked at her and smiled slightly "Can't always trust technology to beat technology, plus; I'm getting really good at it. Once the carnival comes around, I will be the one to win Laff, an overstuffed sized toy." Wictoria grinned softly and crossed her arms "who says YOU will do that? I will do that so fast your head will spin!" Shroobz chuckled quietly and walked out of the bedroom, leaving Wictoria alone as she glanced back over to the bathroom.

She subconsciously placed a hand on her stomach as she sighed, really worried. "...I will not let any of my team find out about you...I've waited for nearly 7 years to have a child of my own after she left, and I will not let this opportunity go." She quietly muttered to herself before walking out of the bedroom herself to join the others, leaving the test on the bathroom countertop.
