Let's Write Neutrality between!
You Just Won't Last
Swan's POV - 6am
The first thought that entered my waking mind was how much my leg was aching, the second was if Arizona was awake yet. I rolled over slowly opening my eyes - not wanting to aggravate their sensitivity should it be bright out - to see the closed ones of the she-wolf in question. I lay there watching her sleep for a minute, just taking in her beauty. We aren't mates as in the 'I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you and never ever leave you' kind, but we enjoy each others company as do Emma and Jessica. After a moment I sat up, mindful of my injured leg and glanced around the den site to see who was still here. Rizzoli was already gone, I'd bet any amount that she left to see Wifey, I snorted at the thought - she's so lovesick and she doesn't even realise it. Of cause, I'm not one to talk... Anyway Franky was gone aswell but everyone else still seemed to be sleeping. I thought about going back to sleep as I listened to Arizona's soft snoring but I knew she needed to head back into town. I sighed and nuzzled into Arizona's neck in an attempt to wake her and she just purred in her sleep at the attention. With a huff I tried again, with a little more intent on waking her and her teal coloured eyes flickered open before drowsily looking to me with confusion.
"What's wrong?" She asked with slight worry and I smiled at the adorable expression.
"Sorry to wake you baby, it's just time to get up. You've slept in, you said Jessica needed to be at the office early to open the surgery as Emilie wasn't going to be able to do opens this week." I explained and I smiled before licking her softly on the muzzle.
"All right love." She smiled as she rolled onto her back with a yawn and rolled her shoulders with a sigh, I got to my feet beside her and stretched. Releasing a hiss as the action pulled the taught burnt flesh of my back leg.
Arizona quickly got to her feet and moved to examine how my leg was healing and she lightly nuzzled into the bandage hiding tentativly healing skin and mattered fur.
"The burn still smells clean, at least infection didn't have a chance to catch. Jessica will patch Emma up before she heads into work. That way If Emma wants to go into the precinct, she can." She said and I nodded.
"Emma is a tough girl, I doubt this would hinder her at all. Although she won't be too happy with me for damaging her precious leg, she does love her running you know." I winked and Arizona chuckled.
"Come on, we should head home to shower before going to work." She said innocently enough and my tail wagged at the thought as we crossed the den site to where Beca lay sleeping beside Red.
Arizona nudged her lightly in the neck and when a soft sound of acknowledgement fell from Beca's throat Arizona nuzzled into her affectionately.
"Swan and I will take our leave now, Jessica needs to make sure Emma's leg is in working order and Emilie will be absent for the morning so Jessica is doing open." Arizona explained and Beca grunted to show she had heard.
"Thankyou, we will see you later." I said lightly brushing my nose against Beca's chin before we headed out of the den site in the river's direction.
It seems strange when you look at it, we could just head straight through the forest and be home right now, but it is basically a morning ritual for the pack when we sleep in the den. Instead of heading home and giving control to our humans right away, we stop by the river for a morning drink. Socialising for a little bit longer with whichever pack mate is with us before heading into Wentworth.
After stopping by the river we made our way across town to our shared apartment and after making sure we were alone, we let Emma and Jessica take over.

Emma's POV
The moment Swan gave me control I pulled Jessica into a soft kiss before opening the door to our apartment. I stepped aside allowing her to go through first before following and shutting the door. Before I could move, I found my back pressed against the hard wood of the front door and soft lips brushing against my pulse point. I moaned lightly at the feel and tangled my fingers through the blonde locks of my companion.
"Babe, we really need to get you showered and on your way." I managed to get out through a gasp at the feel of teeth joining the lips on my neck. I whimpered at the loss of contact when she pulled away but chuckled when she grabbed my wrist and all but dragged me in the direction of our bedroom. She cursed when she tripped on one of my shoes which I had forgotten to put away and she glared over her shoulder at me. I just kicked it aside with a grin and she shook her head. We entered our bedroom and she shoved me in the direction of the bathroom before heading over to our dresser. I laughed at how she eagerly began digging through the draws and headed in. I got the water running at a decent - slightly hot as that's how I shower - temperature and stripped down. For the first time since gaining control, I felt and noticed the damage to my leg and internally I warned Swan of the talk we would be having later about what happened this weekend. With a sigh I turned the temperature down to a mild heat, knowing that the hot water would do my burns no good and stepped under the spray, hissing at the sting radiating from my leg.
I had my face to the shower head, eyes closed when arm's wrapped around my waist and lips pressed into my shoulder. I turned within the arms to see bright teal eyes looking at me through blonde bangs and Jessica pulled me into a kiss. I savoured the moment before spinning us around and pinning her against the shower wall. I brushed the hair from her eyes before capturing her lips in a deep kiss to which she responded enthusiastically.
"Your so beautiful you know." I whispered as I pulled away from her mouth to drag my lips along her throat, nipping lightly at the skin as I went.
Her only acknowledgement of my words was the soft moan she released and as a reward I pushed my knee between her legs and lifted her slightly off of the ground. Her moaned deepened at the sensation and I smirked into the now reddened flesh beneath my teeth. I moved back to her mouth, pulling her lip from the grasp of her own teeth to my own and worried the soft flesh before sucking on it and letting it go.
Jessica's hand's shifted from their position on my shoulder's, across my blades and down my spine. My back arched at the feel of her nails dragging along my flesh and I bit into the junction between her neck and collarbone to hold in the moan threatening to escape. When her hands rested against my lower back, I released the flesh between my teeth and soothed it with my tongue before dragging my lips to the hollow of her throat, where I began kissing my way down the valley of her breasts, appreciating all the skin exposed with my eyes as one of my hands slid to her back side, squeezing tenderly at the soft skin. When my lips reached her lower ribs I licked a line straight back up, chest, throat and chin before snagging her lips in a searing kiss. I moved my hand from her backside to wrap it around her waist to keep her lifted off the ground, then I shifted my knee out of the way and replaced it with my other eager hand, sighing into the kiss when her moans turned into deeper groans of pleasure at my actions. A few moments passed before I felt her body tense against mine and her head drop to my shoulder. I shivered at the feel of her hot breath blowing against my collarbone and I retracted my fingers, resting my hand on her hip as I held her against me.
I stood there, enjoying the feel of her in my arms as the warm water cascaded down my back and smiled when I felt the hot breath be replaced by soft lips. Knowing she was back from her pleasure induced high, I lowered her to the ground and unwrapped my arm from her waist, which was then positioned on her other hip. She pulled away from me and I smiled at the sated look in her eyes.
Just as I went to kiss her again my phone ran from among my pile of shed clothes and Jessica groaned in protest when I pulled away from her. I chuckled as I stepped out of the shower and retrieved my phone from my jeans pocket.
"Winters." I answered with a huff and I glanced back at Jessica who was chuckling at my obvious annoyance at being interrupted. The blonde stepped out of the shower and knelt on the tiles of the bathroom floor before me.
"Oh, morning Maura." I responded to the caller as I gave in to the gentle nudge of hands against my thighs. With space now between my parted legs, Jessica shuffled and I bit into the skin of my free hand when her talented mouth met my core. "Yeah, where?" I asked into the phone, a slight moan releasing with the words as I removed my hand from between my teeth to tangle it in Jessica's hair. "No, no. I'm okay." I responded to the coroner's worry and I bit into my lip as I felt Jessica's tongue swirl before thrusting within me. I couldn't hold in the moan her action pulled from my body and my hand moved from her hair to the basin as my legs began to feel weak. "Everything's alright, it's just my room mate. Keep going." I explained away Maura's question and Jessica pulled away to chuckle at my words.
"If only she knew how true that statement was." She mumbled, but before I could respond to either her or Maura she returned to her ministrations adding her hand to her tongue and my nails dug into the porcelain holding me upright.
"Oh god." I gasped before trying to focus on what Maura was saying, but as she was explaining the case we had, I couldn't keep track of her words. "Maura, I know it's good to know the details prior but can you please tell me when I get to the morgue." I almost beg and the line was quiet for a moment before Maura chuckled at me and with an 'Okay.' she hung up. I sighed with relief as I dropped my phone to my clothes, laced my hand into Jessica's hair and allowed myself to fully enjoy what she was doing. I released a deep moan as my body tensed in pleasure and Jessica got to her feet, wrapping her arms around me to keep me steady on mine. She rubbed calming circles on my lower back as my racing heart slowed down and the tension left my limbs humming pleasurably. Jessica kissed me once more, a light brush of lips before she pulled away and I followed her into the bedroom. I saw a pile of cloths neatly waiting for me on the bed and smiled. We both got dressed and as I picked up my pants - the last article of clothing I needed to look decent - I frowned. Jessica, seeing my expression, pulled on her shirt and directed me to sit down on the bed before leaving the room.
SAFE TO READ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Does that feel any better?" She asked and I nodded before getting to my feet.
Jessica collected the cream, towel and bowl before heading back into the bathroom. I lifted my leg and rested my foot on the edge of the bed to get a better look at the bandage. When I was satisfied that it wasn't too tight and it didn't hurt too much I grabbed my pants and pulled them on. I glanced to the alarm clock on the bedside table and started out of the bedroom.
"Jess, your going to be late!" I called back to her before heading into the kitchen to throw something together for breakfast.
By the time Jessica came into the kitchen I already had toast wrapped in a paper towel and coffee in a to-go mug waiting for her. She smiled as she collected the food and drink before kissing me on the cheek, passed me my phone - which I had left in the bathroom - and she headed for the door.
"Thankyou love, I'll see you tonight." She called and made a hasty exit before I could respond.
I sighed and looked down at my phone as I sipped on my coffee. I laughed at the message - sent before we even got home - telling me that Jane and Maura would be into work late, I shot Jane a mocking message before responding with a simple 'Ok' to Maura. I then took a last deep sip of the steaming liquid before pouring the rest down the sink. I rinsed the mug before jogging back to the bedroom. I pulled my gun, badge and car keys from my bedside table and headed out of the house to start my day.
I looked at the time on my dash and debated how to go about my three destinations. I had a little over an hour to be at the school and I doubted that Jane was going to die any time soon, so I messaged Maura to let her know I was on my way before I started up the car and headed towards the precinct.
The first thought that entered my waking mind was how much my leg was aching, the second was if Arizona was awake yet.

Co-Parenting
Emma's POV
God I'm so nervous. I looked down at my hand, shaking in my lap and sighed.
"Maybe we should leave..." I muttered and was immediately shut down.
"No, your doing this." Jane responded in a stern tone and I sighed again.
"I should just leave her be, Baelfire is no longer a problem and the four of them can live happily, I need not interfere with their great life." I muttered and Jane smacked me on the arm.
"She requested this, your not imposing. Now stop being such a chicken, they are here." Jane growled and I froze, three cars down from us. The young mayor was getting out of the car, young Henry hopped out of the other side. He seemed to be looking around for something, her and his mother was looking down at her phone with a frown.
"It's now or never, if you chicken out now... I don't know if she will be as receptive later on." Jane said and she had a point.
I sighed and got out of the car. Jane just silently gripped my arm through the window before shoving me slightly. I was barely out of the car when the woman only a few meters from me spun around and the same expressive eyes from yesterday looked right into my own. Henry's face broke out into a smile at seeing me and I slowly, cautiously moved closer, stopping when there was only a couple steps between us.
"Good morning Detective Winters." Regina greeted formally and I grinned, perhaps she hasn't put two and two together.
"Madam Mayor." I greeted with a smile and a slight bow, when I looked up again my eyes flitted to Henry who I could tell knew. I winked at him and his smile broke into a grin.
"You don't usually get out of your car during your passing of the school." Regina said off-handedly, looking off to her right. Completely missing the exchange between mother and son. "Is there some kind of special occasion?"
"Ohh you know, I just wanted to see up-close that everything was safe, can't have any danger around now." I commented off-handedly and Regina gave a sharp nod. "Is there anything I can help you with, parents usually do a quick drop off and leave." I pried and Regina frowned.
"Someone was suppose to be showing up this morning, but it appears they have decided not to re-enter my sons life." Regina said and there was slight disappointment to her voice.
"Would you like me to go find them?" I offered with a sincere smile and Regina shook her head.
"No. As good as I think it would be for both her and my son to interact, I will not force her into this if she does not wish it. No one should be forced to do anything, especially her." She said looking me in the eyes and I inwardly smiled at the concern she displayed, it seemed to make Swan quite happy aswell. Seeing It was time to fess up, my eyes flicked from Regina's to Henry and I bent slightly so we were at eye level. "What about you kid, do you want me to go get your mom's friend?" I asked and he nodded enthusiastically.
"I would love that very much." He responded formally and Regina looked down at him with a smile before back to me, before she could say anything I nodded with a smile.
"Alright give me a second." I said before I ran back to Jane's car, I opened the door and jumped into the back seat before allowing Swan control.
"I know your fooling breaks tension, but can you hurry it along a little or at least let me know your going to have the day off so I can get to work." Jane mumbled and Swan just growled at her, before jumping from the car.
Swan's POV
When I looked up, I could see recognition shining through uncertainty within Regina's eyes and I approached much as I had yesterday afternoon. Low to the ground before rolling onto my back when I reached where Emma had been standing just before. Henry dropped to his knees, rubbing my all over affectionately and I whined happily as my tail wagged. Regina stood beside Henry stunned and when she finally seemed to break out of it. Jane yelled out.
"Swan! Maura needs me for something, I'll tell the boss that Emma is sick." She called out and I barked in reply to let her know I had heard. "Madam Mayor." Jane then addressed, from her spot leaning out the passenger side window. Regina looked up to meet her gaze and Jane smiled. "I doubt a day off school and a few hours of peace for yourself is going to kill either of you." Jane responded before she drove off.
Silence settled between the three of them as Swan watched Regina thinking over something while Henry continued to pat her. After a moment Henry looked up and
God I'm so nervous. I looked down at my hand, shaking in my lap and sighed.
"Maybe we should leave..." I muttered and was immediately shut down.

Something's Happened To Red
Emma's POV
The day was going amazing, Swan had spent some time with Queen and Prince in the forest and I got to spend some time with Regina and Henry and everything seemed to be running smoothly. I was walking the two of them home when two howls breached the forest and traveled into town. One from Governor and one from Beca.
"Shit." I swore and not caring if anyone was around I allowed Swan control to get us there as quickly as possible, Swan chanced a quick glance behind her to see Prince and Queen following.
By the time the wolves got there and we took over, everyone was already gathered in Anna and Ruby's livingroom. Everyone was silent, so I led Regina and Henry to an unoccupied section of the room. I was suprised to see I recognized most of the faces. I smirked at the embrassed looking Jane sitting next to Maura before scanning the room. Sargent Shannon Henry was standing with Stella not far from Jane and Maura, Emilie Ravin, Jessica's work partner, Sara Ramirez, Henry's school teacher and someone I didn't recognize (Aubrey), were standing by the door. Nicole's new boss Erica Davidson was standing by the lounge with Nicole and Anna overlooking Jessica as she checked over Red, who had a multitude more injuries. Elizabeth, Carter and Demi were standing with Brittany Snow, Anna's girlfriend and two brunette's who I didn't recognize (Stacie and Victoria).
No-One's POV
The silence dragged on untill Jessica finally broke it.
"She will live, but healing will be lengthy." She confirmed looking to Anna and the teen visably sighed.
"Thank god." She said as she shifted to Red's side and lightly brushed at the fur of her neck, frowning when her hand felt damp with blood.
Seeing the red staning Anna's hand, Erica glanced around the room.
"Emilie, help Jessica treat Red's wounds please." She said and Emilie nodded, she helped Jessica move Red into the bathroom, Franky leaned in to make sure they were alright before retriving a hand towl and shutting the door. She moved back to where the two Alpha's were standing and silently handed the towel to Anna who cleaned off her hand. An air of worry washed over the room as Anna moved so she was before everyone in the room, Franky by her side. Erica took up Anna's other side and seeing he stance, Shannon and Regina moved to stand by Erica, Henry standing back with Emma.
"I'm sure you all know by now that yesterday afternoon. A male Alpha named Baelfire, tresspassed into the Eastern Territory and demanded right's to young Prince. Now he has... Been dealt with, however his pack is another matter entirely." Anna started and her eyes flickered to Emma before continuing. "His whole pack, like himself were deluded into thinking that his... actions towards one of my own were wanted." At her words an inaudible whimper fell from Emma's lips and before she could retreat, Jane was standing beside her, an arm around her waist, grasping her hand in a tight gesture of comfort. "Due to this delusion, they believe my treatment of Baelfire was unjustified. They returned today to retrieve their leader, only to find he had been killed. They did not leave peacefully after that. Red was back at our den, alone, when they showed up. They... treated her terribly, they tortured her - wanting her to call the ones they seek, but she didn't give in and protecting not just the Western pack but the Eastern aswell, they raped her multiple times before tearing into her with their teeth and claws and after realising she wouldn't give any of us up, they left her to die." Anna finished with a quaver in her voice and before she could start up again Jane yelled out.
"Swan!" Before Rizzoli ran after the cream wolf.
"Shit!" Nicole hissed from Anna's left and Franky took off after the two of them. Anna sighed before heading over to the bathroom and knocking on the door.
"Jessica..." She called out and the blonde opened the door looking bloody and tired.
"What's wrong Alpha?" She asked looking at the shocked faces around the room before back to a worried Anna.
"Swan... She hasn't taken the news lightly. Rizzoli and Franky went after her but you know she won't listen to them, she only listens to you and Arizona." Anna explaind and Jessica nodded.
She ripped the gloves from her hands and tossed them into the waist basket before Arizona took over and left the room. Emilie stuck her head through the door as Anna returned to Erica's side.
"Maura, get over here. I can't do this on my own." She called and the medical examiner jumped to her feet and hurried to help.
Anna had a hand on her hip and her fingers brushing through her hair in a stressful gesture so Erica spoke up.
"I do not want any of you to take offence to my words, but I feel they must be said. Some might feel it would be easier to give them what they want, then they would leave us all in peace, but whilst that would be the most logical option, give up one to save many. Prince is not a bargening chip. Whilst my Beta is not his blood mother, he IS her son and I will not allow them to be seperated by some delusional wolves who have a squed sense of right and wrong." She explained and around the room everyone nodded to her words. Anna seemed to have regained her composure by the end and she spoke up again.
"From now untill futher notice you are never to be alone, there must at least be someone with you at all times." Anna said and she glanced to Erica before looking back over everyone. "We have paired everyone together, and kept it as normal as possible, but some of you will have to make some changes. I will start with the usual pairs. Brittany and I, Shannon and Stella, Jane and Maura and Erica and Nicole will be staying as normal, as we all interact throughout the day the most." Anna then looked to Henry she wavered him over and he ran to wrap his arms around Regina, Anna then looked to the blackett. "I'm sorry Regina, I know his studies are important but Henry will not be attending school untill we know he is absolutely safe, Emma will be shifting her work to stay with the both of you." Anna then looked to Erica who went over the rest of the arrangements. By this point, Jane, Nicole, Jessica and Emma had returned and were listening by the door.
"Elizabeth, I know you and West live in the densite but for now you will have to live in town, you will be staying with Victoria. Stacie, you will be taking time from school and taking up full time work at Game of Thorns with Aubrey. Carter you too will be taking time from school, you will be helping Demi with her work at The Dirty Robber. Red will be staying at the Animal Clinic and I know Emilie live's in the house above it so they are paired together but I also want Jessica to be there as often as possible knowing that Red is injured and Emilie is with child, so Sara. You will need to take leave from teaching as you are paired with Jessica and I need her to be at the Clinic." She finished and Anna spoke up.
"Now you must not, for any cercimstances at all, return to the forest untill we are ready. It would also be ideal if there was more then two of you per home but that is not nessessary. I know this may also be an inconvenience, but unless avoid not packmates. If you live with a human, brother, father, sister, mother, you can not stay there, it would only endanger them. For now, I just want you all to decide on living arangements with your assigned partners and go home. We will meet again tomorrow and begin working on how to solve this issue." With the dismissal the room broke out into chatter as everyone moved around and found their partners. Jane, not seeing Maura went with Jessica while Nicole and Emma crossed the room to where Anna was talking to Brittany and Erica was speaking quietly to Shannon, Stella stood by her side. Regina and Henry were standing between Anna and Erica. Nicole rubbed Emma's back for a moment before moving to Erica.
"Alpha..." Emma murmered, looking at the floor as she waited for Anna's attention, and once she had it she felt a hand on her chin, lifting her eyes. "I apologise for my actions." She murmered and Anna just pulled her into a hug.
"I'm sorry all this is happening and that you've been dragged through all this shit again." She said before pulling back and holding her gaze. "We will end them. They will not harm you anymore." Anna vowed and Emma nodded. "Now go, you are going home with Regina and Henry." She said with a smile and shoved the blond towards her son and his other mother.
Emma's POV
"Well just let me tell Jess and we'll head off." I responded and headed to where Jane was talking with Sara.
I knocked on the bathroom door softly before opening it, Emilie, Maura and Jessica were covered in different amounts of blood and Red was mostly bandaged from muzzle to tail. I averted my eyes when I noticed Emilie was checking the state of Red's privites and spoke.
"Need to talk to you for a moment, I'll just be outside." She said quickly before leaving the room. A moment later a clean Jessica stepped out and smiled over the five gathered by the door.
"What's the matter?" Jessica asked with a chuckle as Emma pulled her close, so their bodys were connecting but so there was still a decient amount of space between their faces.
"Well, the kid and his mom live in the mayoral mansion." Emma said and Jessica nodded, eyes flitting to the two in quetion, taking in Regina's well hidden glare before back to Emma. "So the Mayor kinda lives there aswell." Emma hinted again and Jessica smiled.
"I get it, they are staying with us. Was that all you wanted to say?" Jessica smirked, having an inkling of what was wrong, Emma shifted and bit her lip uncertainly."
"We're going to swing by the mansion and get some of their stuff before heading back to the appartment, so we will probably beat you back there..." She said avoiding the actual problem.
"And..." Jessica fished and she knew she one when Emma's head dropped to her shoulders.
"I left my keys at home." She mumbled and Jessica grinned.
"There it is." She said with a smile as she held them out.
"Thanks." Emma said as she took the keys before she pulled Jessica into a kiss. The blonde melted into it, grasping Emma's jacket lapels before she pulled away. "I'll see you later babe." Emma said and Jessica nodded, she shoved her slightly before heading back into the bathroom. Emma smiled and swung the keys around her finger before looking to Regina and Henry. She could see sadness and what looked like anger shining in those brown eyes but Regina's face was a passive mask so she just smiled. "Let's go."
The day was going amazing, Swan had spent some time with Queen and Prince in the forest and I got to spend some time with Regina and Henry and everything seemed to be running smoothly. I was walking the two of them home when two howls breached the forest and traveled into town. One from Governor and one from Beca.
"Shit." I swore and not caring if anyone was around I allowed Swan control to get us there as quickly as possible, Swan chanced a quick glance behind her to see Prince and Queen following.
By the time the wolves got there and we took over, everyone was already gathered in Anna and Ruby's livingroom. Everyone was silent, so I led Regina and Henry to an unoccupied section of the room.
