Chapter 4 Telling the folks
When they got back to the house Scott and Jackson were outside training Derek got out and went to help Stiles who was still shaky and nauseous.
"Derek what happened is he ok?" Scott demanded.
"What happened is I'm pregnant and Stiles had a panic attack, here you take him," with that Derek handed over Stiles and stomped off.
"Derek's pregnant! Oh my god Stiles are you ok? It'll be fine just keep breathing buddy," Scott dragged the hyperventilating teen to the porch.
"Der's gonna kill me Scott I just know oh boy what did I do I just freaked is she ok I mean what does she think?" Stiles babbled breathlessly.
"I think she thinks you are scared of having a baby Stiles which is pretty reasonable, just calm down and talk to me."
"We thought we might try and have a baby you know this could be our only chance and well a baby Derek would be so cute but Scott he'll be pregnant he'll have to give birth he's gonna be so mad I mean she oh god Scott what did I do. What if he hates me for this when it hurts or if something goes wrong I just ..."
At that moment Derek came back over tucking herself onto the other side of Stiles.
"You idiot," she said as she kissed him.
"Is that what's wrong you thought I'd hate you? I want this baby Stiles and you, a bit of pain isn't going to stop me. I thought you were panicking because you changed your mind and didn't want it," Derek pulled Stile closer.
"No D of course I want it and you I mean I am a bit young and all but we can grow up together hey I can teach him or her to play Lacrosse and I bet he'll be first line in no time."
Derek smiled the panic attack seemed to be over and Stiles was back to what he did best babbling without taking a breath. Scott was watching them and trying to process that his best friend was going to be a teen dad with his boyfriend! That had to be as weird as being a werewolf, fighting a lizard monster and getting shot by his girlfriend's arrow.
"Derek's pregnant Stiles is going to be a daddy yay," Erica came bouncing out of the house followed by the others.
"A baby oh my god you two really," Jackson was doing a pouty face at them which set Stiles off in gales of laughter.
Allison walked over to Derek and kissed her cheek.
"Congratulations guys by the way do you wanna know what you're having?" Lydia asked with her best Mona Lisa smile.
"What Lydia you knew are you serious," Stiles stood up pulling Lydia to him.
"Yeah I knew and I can see it," her voice got soft as she looked at Derek's midriff.
"Really," Stiles squeaked.
"Sure hmm can't tell their sex yet actually," she tilted her head.
"Their.. is there more than one Lydia?" Derek asked looking hard at her.
"Umm of course I can see at least two," she replied.
"At least two... D are you gonna kill me now?" Stiles sat down hard again.
"Hmm no I actually kinda like the idea after all I probably won't be a girl for too long so it would be good to have two at least."
Derek actually sounds happy Stiles thought oh yeah super female and wolf probably be happy with a whole litter, oh crap how am I gonna tell my dad.
"Hey Stiles good job on the super sperm dude!" Isaac high fived him.
"Oh yeah hey that's right wow not only did I get my boyfriend pregnant but he's having twins, whoa man I am an awesome sex god," he almost crowed.
The others laughed even Jackson smirked a little at his antics but then Scott brought him back down to earth.
"Oh man Stiles I really wanna be there when you tell your dad."
Oh shit I'm gonna die he's gonna kill me, "Where's that bag gone?"
A week went by and everyone adjusted at this stage Derek wasn't any different except Stiles noticed she seemed hornier even than usual. Deaton said it was pretty unusual for werewolves to get morning sickness what with the super healing and all so at least that was one load off.
The others had started bringing little gifts for their Alpha the girls especially started buying onesies and a few other baby clothes Lydia was the most prolific going to top of the line baby stores and letting out her super shopping skills. Stiles however thought Isaac had bought the perfect gift, three soft wolf toys each a different colour he gave Isaac a big hug and even Derek patted his head with a smile.
"Why three though Isaac?" asked Stiles.
"Well I talked to Lydia.." he shrugged as he looked at the strawberry blonde.
"Surprise guys definitely three now," she exclaimed happily.
"Three," Derek spoke softly and walked upstairs.
"Three oh boy three werewolf babies," Stiles almost started hyperventilating again but decided he needed to check on Derek before collapsing completely.
Derek was sitting on the bed looking at the three wolf toys.
"You ok D?"
"Yeah yeah I think so, you?"
"Well I'm a bit startled and the idea of three kids at once is kinda completely terrifying but we do have a lot of built in babysitters, oh and it is definitely time to tell my dad," he replied.
"Really aren't you worried he'll kill you?" Derek's voice was soft and subdued.
Stiles looked at her he could see she was scared but was fighting it trying not to show any weakness. Good lord he loved this person male, female, wolf, human, one kid or ten as long as he had his Derek.
"Come on babe it'll be fine and yeah my dad may consider homicide but I think it's time we talk to him and get a few pointers on raising little Stilinski's, cause if you think werewolves are gonna be tricky wait till we have three mini me's running around."
Derek just laughed and dragging over her mate kissed him till his knees were weak.
"Time to visit your dad Stiles lets go before you chicken out."
Now his knees were weak for a whole other reason.
"Hey dad how's it goin?" Stiles had slunk into his dad's kitchen and was shuffling his feet a little, Derek was waiting outside.
"I'm good son is something wrong?" The sheriff knew his son and could see that he really wanted to sidestep something.
"Uh no not wrong exactly dad, just um do you remember that conversation we had when Derek first turned into a girl?"
"Yes I do it's pretty much etched into my brain," he replied.
"Well .."
"Oh for goodness sake Stiles just spit it out will you!"
"Dad Derek's pregnant and there are three babies but they're all fine and so is she and I just wanted to tell you before you know someone else did and I'm sorry dad are you ok?' Stiles once again was the master of the breathless speech.
The sheriff had sat with a thump and was staring open mouthed at his son he had been vaguely prepared for the possibility of a baby ever since they had told him, but three. One Stiles had nearly killed him what were they going to do with three and of course they'd probably be werewolves oh my god. Stiles sat in front of his dad and waved a hand he was still just sitting there it was starting to get scary.
"Dad dad! Derek help I think my dad's having a stroke!"
Derek raced in and the sheriff put his hand up.
"I'm fine just give me a minute alright," The sheriff got up poured himself a shot and drank it one gulp, Stiles groaned inwardly he really was driving his dad to drink these days.
"Ok Derek, Stiles fill me in."
The next half hour was spent going through the details that they knew, Deaton's last check had confirmed that Derek was now nine weeks along. The sheriff wanted to know all the risks to Derek and the babies, also how they were going to look after and protect them. He was also very concerned about Stiles' education three babies would require round the clock care.
"It's fine dad I'm gonna take a year and then see how many units I can do by correspondence and I'll just stick with the local colleges," Stiles replied.
"Stiles you have to make sure you get that degree, right Derek!" The sheriff demanded looking at them, both young people nodded solemnly.
"So dad will you be up for some babysitting duties?" Stiles words were much more cocky than his tone he still wasn't sure if his dad was accepting all this.
"Stiles I always planned to be a good grandpa I just thought I'd have a few more years, of course I'll help," Stiles jumped up and grabbed his dad in a tight hug the tension leaching out of him.
Then to their surprise the sheriff got up and walking over to Derek kissed her on the cheek.
"Just don't expect me to do that again when you're a guy ok," he huffed as Derek put her hand to her cheek.
Stiles' eyes had filled with that he knew his dad had really accepted his choices and his family, he wiped a hand across his face as they said their goodbyes.
Derek was extra quiet in the car and Stiles turned to him with concern.
"What's up D you ok?"
"You really are lucky Stiles your dad is an amazing man," Derek replied softly.
"Yeah I know."
They drove home in silence and that night their lovemaking was gentle and tender and when it was over Stiles softly kissed the tiny bulge of Derek's abdomen. Derek sighed with pleasure he felt much happier knowing they had the support of his mate's family as well, having a sheriff as a grandfather meant even more protection for his offspring.
This is a longer chapter that I started before my trip and have now finished loved Europe boy the wait staff in Europe are hotties.
