Derek's first day out of the hospital

Thursday morning

Derek was asleep in bed when he felt it dip beside him. Turning his head he was meet by Ashley, he smiled. "Shouldn't you be getting ready for school?"

"I am ready." Ashley replied climbing onto the bed. "Are you still hurting Daddy?"

"No I'm okay." Derek replies sitting up. "Where's your other daddy?"

"Feeding Logan in the kitchen." Ashley moved and sat next to Derek. "I'm glad your home now, daddy's been sad without you."

Derek frowned. "He has?"

Ashley nodded. "When you were gone he cried a lot and sometimes I laid with him so he wouldn't be sad anymore. Now that you're home maybe he won't be sad anymore."

"Ashley!" Victoria called out.

Derek looked towards the door when he heard the voice. "Listen baby don't tell grandma that you told me all this okay, promise"

Ashley nodded. "I promise."

"Promise what?" Victoria says entering the room.

"Nothing." Ashley says before running out of the room.

"Stop running!" Victoria called out before looking back at Derek. "So how are you doing so far, can I get you anything?"

Derek shook his head and slowly moved to the edge of the bed. "No I'm alright."

"Well I'm going to take the kids to school and pick up Stiles from the hospital." Victoria says. "You're welcome to ride along?"

Derek smiled. "Are you kidding, Stiles would kill me if I left the house."

"Alright we'll there's still breakfast downstairs if you get hungry." Victoria says before leaving the room.

"Thanks." Derek called out to her. Wrapping his arm around his waist he got up and made his way to the bathroom. Once he was done in the bathroom he went downstairs and into the kitchen. After fixing himself a plate he grabbed a bottle of orange juice and went to the living room. He grabbed the phone and called Stiles."

...

Stiles was so glad to finally be getting his cast removed. He was sitting on the bed when his phone started ringing, it was Derek. "Hey I thought you'd still be asleep."

"I got tired of lying in bed so I came downstairs." Derek lifted his feet on the table and immediately winced in pain.

"What's wrong?" Stiles asked. "And what are you doing?"

Groaning Derek sat back. "Nothing, I just moved the wrong way and I'm watching TV in the living room because I got tired of lying in bed." He rubbed his side. "Did you get the cast off yet?"

"No I'm still waiting for them to come in." Stiles sighed. "I have to say that I can't wait until I'm no longer a patient. I miss being at the hospital and not as a patients but as a doctor. I still have to wait a while before they'll let me back but I'm so glad to get this off."

"Alright." Allison says coming into the room. "Are we ready to get that thing off?"

"Yes please!" Stiles yelled. "Hey I'll see you when I get home okay?"

"Okay." Derek replied. "Love you."

Stiles smiled. "I love you too." Hanging up the phone he just stares at it.

"You okay?" Allison asked.

"Yeah." Stiles put the phone back in his pocket before leaning back on the bed. "So are we ready to get this thing off my leg?"

"Just because this is coming off doesn't mean you go crazy." Allison says. "You still have to take it easy or they'll wrap it back up, okay."

"I know but when can I come back to the hospital." Stiles asked.

"You have another week off." Allison starts to remove the cast on Stiles leg. "So how has it been so far with Derek out of the hospital?"

"Pretty good from what I've heard." Stiles says. "After your mom brought him home this morning she dropped me off here before heading back to take the kids to school so I didn't really get a chance to talk to him. I welcomed him home and everything though. When he's fully able we're going too got out and find a new place for us and the kids."

"You know that you're welcome to stay with me as long as you want." Allison says handing her assistant the removed cast and when she left Allison turned back to Stiles.

"I know but I don't want to mooch off of you anymore." Stiles says.

"Oh please." Allison starts. "You're not mooching off of me but if you need anything you know I'm here for you."

Stiles nods. "Did you call your mom or am I catching a cab home?"

"I'm about to go on break so I'm going to take you home." Allison says going over to the sink to wash her hands.

Getting off the bed Stiles walked around before hoping up and down. Allison saw him and threw her wet paper towel at him. "Gross."

"What did I just tell you Stiles!" Allison yelled.

Stiles looked up at her and smiled. "I was just testing it out." He said sitting back on the bed. "So how long until we leave?"

"About ten minutes." Allison says heading over to the door. "Now stay off your leg and I mean it?"

"Yeah yeah yeah." Stiles says lying down on the bed. Fifteen minutes later Allison was driving him back to the house.

...

Derek was half asleep when the sound of a door opening made him jump. Looking towards the door he saw Stiles. "Welcome home."

"Hey." Stiles says going over and sitting next to him.

Derek reached over and rubbed Stiles leg. "How does it feel to have that cast off your leg?"

"Great but I still have a week because they won't let me back yet." Stiles says turning to face the TV. "Have you been out here all day?" Derek nodded. "Are you in any pain?"

Derek then thought back on his talk with Ashley earlier that day. "So I had a talk with Ashley this morning and she told me what happened with you while I was in the hospital."

Stiles sighed. "Yeah, it was tough not having you here with us and sometimes I talked to her about it. This one night she made me a bowl of ice cream and covered it in chocolate syrup. She even added some sprinkles and I thought it was the cutest thing ever. We stayed up late and ate the whole bowl together." When Derek wrapped his arm around him he rested his head on Derek's shoulder. "I'm so happy that you're out of the hospital." He sighed. "So have you gave any thought about where we're going next?"

"No but once I get back on my feet we are going to find a nice, quiet neighborhood and I'm going to make sure it's safe for us." Derek says. "I'm never going to let anything happen to you and the kids again."

"I know you won't." Stiles looked up at Derek. "Have I told you lately how much I love you?"

Derek looked down at Stiles and kissed him. "Always but I never get tired of hearing it."

Kicking off his shoes Stiles snuggled closer to Derek, careful not to hurt him. They spent the rest of the day watching TV in the living room.
