The bite goes well. The whole pack is there to support him. They gather around him in the forest as he lies on the ground and waits for his Alpha's teeth to sink in to his flesh. Lycea is there, too. She holds her boyfriend's hand through everything.
Derek kneels beside his son. He raises the short sleeve on his son's shirt and feels himself shift. They've decided a bite on the arm would be better than another bite on the side- less traumatic that way- fewer bad memories.
"Are you ready, Nate?" Stiles asks. The boy nods his head and locks eyes with Lycea.
Derek closes his eyes and breathes in the scent of his pack. He leans down and allows his fangs to slowly pierce his son's shoulder.
With a small gasp, Nathan scrunches his eyes closed. He can feel his blood trickle down his arm and onto his t-shirt. And, then it happens. One moment he can only feel the blood and the next he can smell it. He can hear Lycea yelp as his claws scratch against her skin.
The very first time he turned he was panicked and in excruciating pain. This time is different. He's with his pack. He can feel them as if there were strings attaching all of them to his soul- or inner wolf. The world around him pulsates like the ebb and flow of the tide. Heartbeats pound in his head, and he can hear the wildlife in the forest around him. Birds and squirrels, the occasional deer or raccoon.
When he finally opens his eyes, the pack can see them glowing yellow. Lycea looks at him. "Hey. You changed really fast."
His pointed teeth feel odd in his mouth after being human for so long. He focuses and shifts back to normal. "It's because I've been a wolf before."
Logan butts in and smacks him on his still healing shoulder. He ignores the growl. "Hey, bro. Congrats… though, it'd been a whole lot easier if you'd just stayed this way the first time. BUT, whatever!" He hugs his twin. "Welcome back."
"Thanks."
A month after he's turned, Nathan finally gathers up the courage to finally ask Lycea to marry him. And guess what? She says yes. Lydia helps her plan the wedding and the reception, and she helps her shop for a dress. Jackson helps with the men's fashions. Stiles takes care of all the food and catering. All the pack women help with the bridal shower. Erica and Laura try their hardest to plan a bachelorette party Lycea will never forget, and Logan is in charge of the bachelor party.
The wedding is beautiful. The reception is extravagant. And, the honeymoon is tropical and serene. But, it doesn't take too long for the honeymoon to be over, and six months later they agree to start trying. Lycea and Nathan have talked through things thoroughly. They've agreed. If there's a way to get Nathan pregnant, they'll do it.
