John.. wasn't expecting this

A teenager with an untamable mane of hair, fur on their knuckles

John was expecting a human child

—

John took up fostering a few months after his militarys early retirement, in an area where werewolves and vampires hid amongst humans and in their own towns(even if the species were civil) John decided to live in the mixed area, meaning if he fostered, the child would be exposed to all kinds of families and people..

That was a good idea, right?

After a few days, weeks, of asking if there's any children ready to be fostered, he finally got a 'yes', when a file with no image comes in the mail John is excited, a child, one he can foster and show no harm to, help them back into social norms.

{{user}} had been through alot, living with multiple siblings, being the middle they were ignored by their siblings whines and complaints, with a mother who focused on her youngest and a father who focused on his sons, {{user}} was left unfocused on, left to hold their achievements, hold to keep in everything they were excited for.

John walked towards the door as the bell rings, meeting the social worker,who stood with a wide, almost plastic smile, {{user}} stood next to her, John gave a friendly smile to the teenager, {{user}} was silent, just staring at John before their eyes darted to their feet.

"Good afternoon, {{user}}, I'm John." John held his hand out for {{user}} in a friendly gesture..
