Stiles was in the first month of his pregnancy and already he was being driven slowly insane. And the worse part of it was he was powerless to react. Well that wasn't strictly true but he didn't want to say anything to Derek. If he got mad and shouted about overbearing behaviour then Derek got this kicked puppy look, and Stiles could feel his sadness through the bond. It sucked that they were mated and the bond was so strong, as he never ever wanted Derek to feel pain. He couldn't help it, so for now he was putting up with the overly protective attitude.

Brian was snuggling up to him on the sofa looking similarly annoyed, "Mates!"

Stiles grinned in sympathy, "I know right?"

Brian looked annoyed but also could tell what Stiles was thinking, "Yet we can't say anything."

Stiles sighed, "They lost their whole family and their wolves are going into overdrive; I know this but it is still hard."

Brian agreed, Peter had been so scared and barely let him out of his sight after the pregnancy was revealed. He was so excited at the idea of a pup, and the start of their family, but at the same time there was a hint of desperation. After all; for both Derek and Peter - they had had a huge family and Kate Argent had destroyed it.

A small mercy, and a small one was all it was, was currently the Hale wolves were out on a hunt after their mates had all but ordered them on a run so that they could lose some of their restless energy. Brian wouldn't be able to shift until the pups were born, and he didn't mind. To him, the idea of having his own family was everything that he'd wanted and he was more than happy to keep in one form so as to not to risk the pups.

Stiles smiled and gently stroked his stomach. He was in awe of the fact that he was able to create life. Of all the things he'd done this was one things he was proudest of. "I can't wait for your arrival little ones."

Brian gave him a big smile and damn Stiles could tell what a heartbreaker this guy could have been. He was glad though that Brian had found a true home and family with their pack. Stiles loved each and every one of the pack but he could admit that he 'mothered' a few more than the others.

Brian smiled, "Yeah me either."

Stiles spoke softly, "Our pups are going to be great."

"Hell yeah," Brian hollered. "If we can keep our sanity until they are born then that would be great."

Stiles laughed as it was true; Peter and Derek had both gone into overzealous protective wolf mode. Now whilst both Brian and Stiles understood why that was the case that didn't meant that they couldn't get annoyed. It was harder in some ways as the last thing they wanted was to snap over it; they would do anything for their mates to never have to remember the fire and all they lost in it.

Stiles smirked, "I don't envy you. If Derek annoys me I use my powers to let him know."

Brian smirked, "Well true, but the biggest weapon is sex."

Stiles laughed raucously, "True that, but I tend not use it as I punish myself."

Brian raised his glass in agreement to that, as that was most definitely the truth. "You are my favourite for suggesting that they run and hunt."

Stiles smirked because he was a genius they should be just glad that he used his powers for good, and the pack. Derek had admitted that the world would be in trouble - if and when he decided he wanted to rule it. "They get to feel like manly wolves and we get some peace."

Brian snuggled closer to Stiles, and relished the feeling of pack and contentment. "Yeah but we have to deal with all the meat."

Stiles snickered remembering last week. He and Brian had patiently butchered and skinned the meat so that the pack could have a cookout. Isaac was the pup upstairs who was left to help 'protect' them. Stiles had not been impressed as it has hardly like he was a shrinking violet but if it let Derek feel better and go for a run; then he was all for it.

The knock at the door broke the happy snuggles, and in annoyance they both got up. Of course they were beaten to the door by Isaac who was just doing as his Alpha commanded. Stiles pouted but knew that despite his many powers; one of them was not how to resist Isaac's puppy dog eyes. Although given how Brian was so badly freaked that he felt it through the pack bond they shared Stiles was more than okay with that fact.

Stiles made sure to get himself between their visitors and Brian, his skin flashed silver as a warning. "Who the fuck are you? … And why shouldn't I blast you back through my door?"

Stiles sounded calm but neither Brian nor Isaac missed the thick smell of the magic in the air that they had come to associate with Stiles' magic. Isaac said one word, "Stiles?"

Bless the Golden Pup's soul, he was ready to go to bat for them, but it wasn't necessary. One word or even one thought from Brian and the group would be ejected from the porch quicker than they could blink. In fact they would be evicted from the Hale land but that would be another story.

Brian was allowed to be freaked - his past was standing in front of him.

Dominic Toretto stood poised on a knife's edge; he was here as he wanted to bring Brian back so that he could be with pack. He'd been so mad, and had been forced to run from his territory that he hadn't stopped to think about the consequences. He'd left Brian alone to run, little more than an omega. "I'm here for family."

Stiles laughed hollowly, "No one will be going with you Alpha. This is Hale territory."

The Toretto pack felt the power and shivered whoever the young male was - he had power. Dom wasn't ready to give up just yet. "I'm rectifying a mistake. Brian should be with pack."

Brian's hands went to his stomach; Dom was right - only his pack was right here. He finally found his voice, but it was full of regret, "Too little too late."

Toretto snarled in disbelief, "Family is forever."

Brian was not that sorry that he would have his pack insulted, "And this is my family. You left me when I explained."

Isaac hissed in horror; the idea of the pack leaving one of them on their own was horrific. The betas of the arrived Alpha were getting restless, and one rolled his eyes, "You were a cop."

Stiles laughed, "Did I miss the bit where you were breaking the law, or the part where Brian saved your lives and made sure you didn't go to jail?" He'd missed out the part where the gruff, ruff git had insulted his father; he'd leave that one until they were better acquainted.

Brian grinned feeling stronger, and less penitent because Stiles was right. He had nothing to be sorry for anymore - he'd tried to make things right. If the Toretto's wanted an apology then they could go and fuck themselves. The resurgence in his confidence was not just form the support being given by Stiles and Isaac though - Peter was close.

The door slammed open; Derek dropped the carcass and shifted from his Alpha form effortlessly, and clearly not caring about being naked, demanded, "Why are you on my land?"

Even as the inquisition started Peter was dragging Brian into his arms; scenting him and making sure that he was okay. He'd been hunting with his nephew, and just after they'd started to make their way back they'd felt Brian's terror. He'd raced back wondering what had caused his mate's distress. He quickened if that was possible smelling the foreign pack.

Dom stood, straight back not liking the challenge, but recognising that he was on another's Alpha's land. "We're here for Brian; he's family."

Peter sneered, "Great family. We rescued my mate from Alpha's on our land after he was beaten and chased halfway across the country." He couldn't handle even thinking about how he'd first met Brian without getting homicidal especially as his mate was now pregnant.

Stiles was mad but could tell that despite all the feelings that this was something that Brian could do with resolving. Stiles was more than aware that everyone had a past but some were lucky enough to deal with it; whereas Derek would not have that chance. "Okay so here is what is going to happen. You will go out the back where there will be a civil conversation. You upset any member of this pack and I will toss you out of territory."

Derek smirked and dragged his badass mate into a kiss. Not caring that he was still dirty from the hunt; he knew his mate would complain but just needed to mark his mate for all to see.

Vince was too stupid to keep his trap shut, "And why would I listen to the Alpha's bitch?"

Stiles was too busy kissing Derek and enjoying it to let his mate deal with the insult. Instead he raised his hand away from the Triskelion on his mate's back and blasted the arrogant pup on his ass.

Brian laughed in delight – this was definitely why Stiles was his favourite, and Peter was not too far away in terms of sentiment. "Love you Alphas" Came the packs chorused reply.

The Toretto's were unsure what was going on, but they were definitely feeling a little unsure of their intentions. For one – none of them had ever heard Brian laugh like that – ever. Still they had to make things right and so as long as they could keep V's mouth shut they'd be staying awhile.
