Stiles and Peter make it back down stairs to find Noah making his way to the stairs. Stiles Jumps down the last three steps and runs to his dad. Noah hugs Stiles and then walks past him to Peter.

"Now I want you to explain to me how my dead wife is sitting in the living room drinking tea with Lydia?" Noah says with practiced fake calm.

"From what we can tell she is here from a spell but we aren't yet sure of the purpose of her presence. I have had everyone called and they will be here after their shifts to help us figure out what we are dealing with. Talia and the family are on their way back now they should be here soon." Peter says quickly.

"Fine but this isn't something I'm dealing with. Now I'm going to go get Melissa and we are going to shower and get some sleep come get us when everyone get here."

"Will do."

Noah walks back towards the kitchen. Peter and Stiles follow him. When the three get to the kitchen they see a tired looking Melissa with Scott's arms around her.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Scott asks.

"Yes, Scott as I have said, I am fine. I just want to get some sleep."

"Well we can head up now if you want I've had my chat with Peter." Noah says as he puts a hand on Melissa's shoulder.

Melissa manages to untangle Scott. She stands and heads to the door. On her way through she runs a hand through Isaac's hair and hugs Stiles. She then follows Noah down the hall.

"So did they happen to say anything about the hunters?" Stiles asks as he heads to the fridge.

"No, your dad said he needed to talk to Peter about something. Then mom said she was going to wait till Talia and Chris get here to talk about it." Scott says as his sits in the chair Melissa vacated.

"Okay, so, should we talk about the undead elephant in the house or are we going to ignore that as well until Talia gets here?" Stiles asks as he opens a bottle of soda.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really."

"Then we won't. It's that simple."

"Good. So what now?" Stiles says then the doorbell rings. "I'll get it."

Stiles heads for the door. We quickly walks past the living room. He gets to the door and opens it.

"Rafé, what's up?"

"Is Scott here? I was at the house looking for him and some guy was there."

Derek walks around the corner. "Mr. McCall good to see you again. What can we do for you today?"

"He's looking for Scott. I'll go get him hold on." Stiles said as he turns to walk back to the kitchen.

"Can't I just come in?"

"Well you could but I don't really want you in my house, so no." Derek says.

Rafé turn to the porch and walks down a few feet. When he turns back to the door Derek has closed the door. "Some way to treat a guest." He says to himself. He walks over to the bench and sits down as Scott comes outside.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

"I came to talk to Stilinski and Stiles but I can't find Stilinski and your mom's not at the house or at the hospital. Do you know where she is and why her phone is disconnected?"

"Mom's here but asleep and I don't know about her phone I can ask her when she wakes up and have her call you."

"I would rather talk to her in person can you either let me in or go get her. It's kind of important."

"Well it's not my house so I can't invite you in and Derek made it pretty clear you were rude to home when I asked him to stop by the house earlier so I doubt he's going to change his mind. And mom just went up to get some sleep and she would be angry if I went up there now. She had a long shift and needs to rest"

"Why is she sleeping here and not at home?"

"We are doing a family meeting tonight here with the Hale's so Talia said mom could sleep here then do dinner with everyone after the meeting."

"Oh, so you're in good with the Hale's?"

"Yeah, their good people. Plus, it cool to be around big families."

"Okay, I guess Stiles isn't enough anymore. So, do you know where Stilinski is?"

"Yeah he's inside too. Why?"

"I need to talk to him and Stiles at some point. I'm staying at the Beacon, Room 206. Have Stilinski call me when he gets a chance. I will let you get back to your friends." He stands.

"Alright, I will let Noah know and he'll call when he can. I see you later dad." Scott says. Then Rafé nods and heads down the stairs to his car. He gets in and leaves. Scott heads back inside.

Α/Β/Ω

Stiles settles back in the study and starts working on the homework that Lydia brought him. He starts on his reading for English when Derek walks in the room and sits down across from Stiles.

"What's up Sourwolf?"

"Stiles, you said something to Peter that I wanted to talk to you about."

"Oh, okay. Do I need to worry about you being angry at me about it?"

"No. I'm not angry. This really doesn't have anything to do with me but Peter won't bring it up and it needs to be discussed."

"That why you closed the door to the only room in the house that's soundproofed."

"It's not the only room. But yes, that's why."

"Okay, I'm all ears. How much weirder can today get, I'm I right." Stiles says with a smirk.

"You might feel a little differently in a few minutes." Derek says quietly. "So, you said that Peter should have been the one to take care of you this morning. You basically said that you didn't deserve it." Stiles starts to say something. "No, you don't get to interrupt right now." Stiles nods. "When Kate tried to kill my family, Peter lost his wife and child. She hadn't told him she was pregnant yet but she told me by accident. I haven't told Peter. It was too early in the pregnancy for any wolf to be able to smell it on her. The only reason she knew was because she tried to do a spell and she blacked out and the spell didn't work. She went to Deaton to find out what was wrong. He did a couple of tests and found out that she was pregnant. She Picked me up from work that night and was so excited. She was practically vibrating with excitement. I asked what was up and she told me. Then told me I had to swear no to say anything to anyone until she could tell Peter. I helped her plan the whole thing and it was supposed to happen the night of the fire." Derek stops and takes a deep breath.

"When Kate set fire to the house Mia was inside with Jacob and Mark. Everyone else was on the way home from Laura's track meet. No one was supposed to be home but the twins had just come in to their wolves and couldn't control it well so Mia stayed behind to get dinner going and everything else she was going to do for the announcement. When the fire started Mia used all her magic to get the twins out of the house. She sent them to Danny's parents. She blacked out or so we think and couldn't get out of the house and she died. My mom knew something was going on with Peter when we got back into town, but none of us could have guessed what happened. When we got to the house the fire fighters were putting out the last of the fire. Danny's parents were there holding the twins. My mom kept asking where Mia was but no one knew. The next morning the Sheriff came to the hotel where we were staying the night and told us they had found a body in the house. We all knew." He stops and stares at his hands. After a minuet, he looks at Stiles.

"Kate met me for lunch that day and told me she loved me. The next day she disappeared. Peter never really recovered from losing her and I know he would have taken it even harder if he had known about the baby. He only really started to be Uncle Peter again when the rogue bit Scott. He helped Scott all he could I think he did more than Mom did at the time. When you made, your presence known he started being his sarcastic self again and even Mom thinks it has something to do with you. He won't admit it now but he likes you.

"So, when you pushed him away this morning then again this afternoon it hurt him. He tries to make it off as he doesn't care that we push him away sometimes or that his job is to do all the things the rest of us wont. It's hard on him. Now that he's an Alpha it's hard for him to give up control to Mom and even Laura and Scott. But he does better when he knows he has you on his side. Things like making fun of us or some of your plans that use Peter's other skills. He knows that you don't see him as an enemy or as anything to be afraid of. It shocked all of us that you were as close to him as you were during the last full moon. He seemed more in control than he has since before he killed the rogue Alpha. I think it has something to do with it." Stiles just stares at Derek like he's grown a third head or something.

"Dude, Peter's cool and all but you think because I treat him like he's a human that I'm the reason he's coming out of his shell after his wife was murdered by Kate Argent. Dude, you all need to realize he's a person not just some tool to use. God, do you know how you sound. That I'm doing something to help Peter. HA. No I actually ask his option and for his help not just demand he do as I say. God, you people. Peter is my friend and yes, I had a moment a few times today where I tried to push him away. Hell, had it been my dad or Melissa I would have done the same damn thing. The only reason I would have let our try is because I knew you'd do it even if it tried to get rid of you and you'd just piss me off till I let you. You need to understand that no matter what happens Peter will always be someone I go to first when I need help, because I know he will do anything necessary to help the people of this pack. No matter how they treat him. So, am I doing something to help Peter? Yeah, I treat him like a person. So, thanks for telling me what happened because I would have never gotten that story from Peter. Thanks for telling me something I now have to keep from him. Because that truly what he needs right now is someone else who is lying to him." Stiles pushes his homework away from him and stands and walks to the door.

"Stiles I told you because I thought you should know what all of us think. You needed to know about Mia. I'm sorry you have to deal with all of this but you needed to know.

"Ok I needed to know great. Let's tell Stiles a lot of information on the day he has to deal with his…" Stiles opens the door, "…dead mother being back from the fucking dead." He turns from Derek to leave the room and is met face-to-face with Claudia.

"I'm sorry thins is so difficult Stiles." She says with tears on her face. She turns and heads back for the living room.

Stiles turns to look at Derek and he looks like he's going to be sick.

"Stiles breath." Derek says as he walks up to stiles and drags him down to the floor. "Stiles you need to breath, now." Derek says as he wraps stiles in his arms. Stiles still hasn't taken a breath since he saw Claudia. "Stiles please breath. I'm sorry you're right now wasn't the time. I'm sorry. Please." Stiles takes a shaky breath and start to cry.

"The last thing she said to me was 'It's your fault I'm dying.' And now this. I can't handle it if we have to watch her die again. Derek please I can't." He wraps his arms around Derek and he cries.

Derek holds Stiles tighter and lets him cry. He looks up and sees a concerned Peter and Jackson.
