John turned up the next day, he stood in the door away of the room his son was sleeping and watched the way Stiles acted when he thought no one was looking at him. "Granpapa!" Came the cry and John smiled as he watched Harry run towards him, he bent down and picked up the little fox kit and let the boy nuzzle his chest. John looked up to see Stiles looking back at him with a small smile on his face
"How long have you been standing there for?" Stiles asked
"Not long." He told him as he walked into the room closing the door behind him.
He sat on the bed placing the duffle bag on the bed "It's all I could get." John told him as the kit kept holding him and wasn't going to let go any time soon. Stiles pulled the bag close to him and open it up and let out a choking sob as he looked at what was left of his life with Theo "He got angry when he found out you left and destroyed the rest." John told him as he watched Stiles pull out some clothes and some of his paper work for the course he was taking.
"Its okay dad I figured he would do something." He whispered as he wiped his eyes and looked up at him "Thank you." He said as John warped his arms around his son and pulled him close and kissed his forehead as Stiles cried into his shoulder.
…FLASH BACK…
John paced his motel room looking back at his son who was holding a crying Harry "I can't dad I can't go back to that monster not after what he did!" Stiles cried as he kissed his son on the forehead "He forced Harry to watch!" Stiles hissed thought angry tears as he trembled on the bed
"Stiles I need to know do you want me to kill him?" John asked as he tried to keep his anger in control
"Yes." Stiles said without a second thought "You need to save the others dad."
The Sheriff walked over to his son and place a hand on the teen's shoulder and watched him flinch at something that should have been a kind thought. Stiles looked a shamed at the flinch and let more tears roll down his face "I have a friend back in Beacon Hills, I don't have much money on me son but it's all I can do for now. His name is Derek Hale he run's a house for strays he will help you, here is his address he's a good man Stiles." The older fox said. Stiles nodded and took the money John gave him.
"I'm scared." Stiles whispered
"I know kit I know but you're doing a brave thing." He smiled at him as he leaned up and kissed Stiles on the forehead.
…END OF FLASH BACK…
Stiles pulled back and wiped his eyes as he looked back at him with a small smile "Let me make you a cup of coffee." Stiles said to him as he stood up
"Sounds good kit." John said as he stood up still holding Harry in his arms they left the room and head down stairs
In the Kitchen Derek was talking to Scott about Isaac when John and Stiles walked in, John nodded to Scott who nodded back. "I will see you later Derek." Scott said as he turned smiling at Stiles as he left the room. Derek was looking at Stiles as the teen walked over to the kettle
"Derek I want to thank you for you have done." John said holding out his hand to him, the wolf took it and shook it
"I would do it again John." He gave him a small smile.
"You may have to, some of Theo's pack they need an alpha and I think they will need both of our helps." John said
"Of course I would be happy to have some here." Said as he looked at Harry who was sucking his thumb while looking at Derek with golden brown eyes. Stiles smiled at Derek as he put the cups down on the table before he took Harry into his arms and sits down. John and Derek for a moment before the alpha wolf left letting John sit next down across from him
"He likes you." John smiled.
Still the nightmare were the worst for Stiles, Harry still is whimpering and crying in his sleep and it worried Stiles and he wouldn't take the sleeping tablets. He was so worried about the nightmare that his son started to change in to fox during the night. Derek found him one morning crying as he sat in the living room stroking a small white fox that was curled up on his chest. "Stiles." Derek whispered as he entered the living room
"Did I wake you?" He sniffed as he sat up still holding the sleeping fox
"No, what's wrong?" The wolf asked as he sat next to him, the teen sobbed as he rested his head on Derek's shoulder
"Ha…Harry keeps having nightmare and turning into a fox, I'm worried about him." He cried "I can't sleep until I know he's okay." Derek placed his hand on Stiles back and rubbed small soft circles
"I will stay up and watched both of you."
"I can't ask that." Stiles hiccup
"I won't sleep any way." He took Harry out of Stiles hold making the teen whimper as Derek let the teen curl up against his side "I will watch over you." He whispered as Stiles held onto his shirt as Harry licked Derek's hand and curled up between them.
