A/N: This chapter starts off in Derek's POV then continues on with Skye's
Derek's POV
When I woke up I was aware Skye was still asleep beside me so I checked the clock and it was only six thirty I could let her sleep another half hour before having to wake her especially if she was carrying our baby, she's gonna need all the sleep she can get
I didn't get up and it was nice just relaxing back in bed with my mate sound asleep beside me, it's been a good week and a half since I've woken up before Skye…
"Derek" I looked over at her as she mumbled my name thinking she'd woken up but her heart rate was still steady which made me smile since it's also been ages since I've heard her talk in sleep "Keep the puppy" I stared at her with confusion and wonder, why the hell was she dreaming about having a dog for, we wouldn't be able to have a dog they don't get along with werewolves "I want to keep it" she continued to mumble and something clicked…puppy…keep it
Was she dreaming that she was pregnant and puppy meant baby considering wolf pups are called cubs which is close to puppy for her
"Skye?" I whispered after seeing it was nearly seven "Skyez time to wake up now"
"No Der-Bear" she replied and I smiled as it had been a while since she called me that
"Come on baby, you have classes to get to" I saw her eyes flutter open then smile when she saw me "Morning" I added as she yawned
"How long have you been awake?" she whispered still half asleep
"Half hour"
"So you watched me sleep?" I chuckled
"Don't pretend like you don't do it" we went to kiss but shuffling alerted us to the fact we weren't alone, I sat up and saw Alec and Cora were stirring from where we left them last night "Have a nice sleep you two?" I asked them making them look at each other before springing apart making Skye and I laugh
"Why didn't you wake us last night?" Cora complained rather loudly
"You two were too cute, by the way I took a photo so remember that when you want to bribe me with photos of me and Derek" Skye replied making me laugh again
"Crap I was supposed to be home already" Cora said making a beeline for the door
"What do you need to rush off for?" I asked her
"I'm having breakfast with someone and they're picking me up at seven thirty" I glowered
"Is this the same guy from months ago, when are we going to meet this mystery guy?"
"Nope, new guy every other weekday" she replied "Got to go, bye" she was out the door before I could reprimand her, I looked down at Skye who looked like she had fallen back asleep so I let myself look down at her stomach and prayed for a boy is she was pregnant because I'm definitely going to be a little girls nightmare in the teen years
"Stop staring it's creepy" Skye laughed opening her eyes and I lifted my gaze just in time to meet her eyes pretending that's where I was looking the whole time
Skye's POV
I reluctantly got up and had a quick shower, blow dried my hair, curled it, applied a little bit of make-up then got dressed before heading to the kitchen to see Derek making pancakes but didn't want any so I threw a couple pop-tarts in the toaster before making sure I had all my notes
"Alec you're gonna be late" I said angling my voice so it carried upstairs "I can give you a ride but we have to leave a five" I shoved my books and pens into my bag then grabbed the pop-tarts and handed Alec one when he finally came downstairs "Okay we got to run, I love you" I said kissing Derek's cheek and went to leave but he pulled on my arm
"Is that all you're eating?" he asked gesturing to the pop-tart in my hand
"Uh yeah, I'm in a rush but don't worry I'll grab a huge lunch at the campus" I picked up my bag then left, I dropped Alec off at school before heading to the college and arrived at class just on the bell luckily I couldn't afford to get in trouble again
I skipped over lunch as I just didn't feel up to eating anything the cafeteria had to offer and opted to study outside, I went to my calendar to figure out what exams or tests I had coming up but as soon as I did I got an alert
Period Starts 31st March. WHAT!, that was impossible there is no way I'm a week late, I've never been late once since I started getting my periods, I searched back to my last period and it was right there in black and white my last period was 28th of February that was just before our wedding
"No, no, no" I stood up and shoved my laptop in my bag then grabbed out my phone and checked my period tracker app but it said the exact same thing which made me start hyper-ventilating because this could not be happening…NO you know what there is no chance in hell I was pregnant because Derek wears condoms…doesn't he, although the last few times we've been in a rush and I don't remember if Derek put one on "OH GOD!" I fell back against the wall in a near panic and wasn't even aware someone was talking to me until I heard Derek's name making me look up
"Skye" it was Evan "Hey Skye can you hear me, are you okay?" I shook my head feeling like I was unable to speak "I can call your boyfriend Derek" I shook my head again "Maybe I should take you to the nurse, you look deathly pale"
"No, I'm okay, I just got lightheaded for a second" I stood up straighter
"You're almost white Skye I really think I should take you to the nurse"
"I SAID I'M FINE" I snapped then regretted it "Look I'm sorry Evan I'm just stressed okay but I'm fine" I walked away leaving him there
By three thirty I was convinced I wasn't pregnant so I pushed it back and hoped my period would be in the next few days, I pulled up into the high school's parking lot and smiled at the sight of Alec talking to his crush…Becca I think her name was and then they walked over to the car
"Hey Skye this is Becca, Becca this is my older cousin Skye"
"Hi" she replied so quiet I barely caught it
"Hi Becca" I said giving her a soft gentle smile
"I was asking Becca if she wanted a ride home since her dad is out of town"
"Sure hop in" I replied but she seemed hesitant "It's okay Becca, I'm friendly" she smiled a little then walked over to the passenger side of the car while I sent a quick text to Derek saying we'll be a couple minutes late so he doesn't panic "Where do you live Becca?" she told me her address
When I pulled up to her house I almost felt bad for her, the house looked almost ready to collapse on their heads, I smiled when she went to get out
"Hey Becca if you need a ride to school or home, just give Alec a call okay" I said as she started to walk up to the house
"I…don't…don't have…hi…his number" she stuttered, I looked back at Alec and he nodded getting out of the back and grabbed one of his books and quickly scribbled out his number then handed it to her "Th…thank you"
"Anytime Becca okay" she nodded then walked inside as Alec got in and I drove up "Does she say much about her dad?" I asked Alec
"No and I've never seen him pick her up either but she says he works a lot" I nodded but couldn't fight the bad feeling I had all of a sudden
"Keep an eye on her okay, I don't know why but I have a bad feeling"
"Don't need to tell me twice, I've felt it too" I smiled and pulled up into the underground parking of the loft but frowned when I saw the jeep which Scott had, I went upstairs and found him with Derek looking over a map and Liam was here as well
"Hey what's going on?" I asked them as I approached the table
"Derek might have found a way to set up Monroe so Stiles dad can arrest her" Scott replied
"How?" I asked looking up at Derek
"I've been thinking about how she hasn't attacked since trying to kill Alec and I think it's because she knows he moved here and it's too hard to get into this place undetected because of the alarm and the fact I'm always here most of the time"
"So what does that have to do with anything?" I asked him
"Before you start yelling hear me out okay" I frowned but nodded "We all know she wants Alec dead before all of us" I nodded not liking where this is going "Well if we can draw Monroe out by having Alec out seemingly on his own-"
"Are you crazy?!" I yelled "You want to use Alec as bait, NO!"
"Skye it's a good plan" Scott tried to reason
"No it isn't, I'm not serving Alec up on a silver platter with an apple in his mouth, you can forget it and he is my Beta, so no freakin way" I snapped and felt my eyes and claws shift
"Skye?" Alec asked but shut up when I turned to glare at him "I can do this" he decided to say anyway "I want to do this"
"No Alec and my decision is final anyone who goes against it, can get the hell out" I snapped again glaring at every one of them to make sure they knew I was serious
"What is wrong with you Skye?" Scott asked
"Nothing is wrong with me, what the hell is wrong with you, what happened to the Scott who wouldn't put anyone in danger if it meant the slightest chance they could get hurt, do you not care now that Alec isn't your Beta"
"Now hang on Skye, it wasn't like I forced him out you took him so don't say I don't care about him, I was the one who went all the way and rescued him while you were probably in here shaking it up with Derek"
"Scott!" Derek snapped
"Derek don't, if that's how you feel Scott then get the hell out and don't come back" I was too angry to really think about what I just said, it was the same thing my mom said to my dad
"You're unbelievable Skye, ever since you got married…actually I'll rephrase that ever since you met Derek you've been different and I've put up with until now so when you stop acting like a spoilt princess let me know, until then we may be family but were not twins" I took a step back in shock and felt all my anger leave me as I started crying with no warning "Oh don't even start that-"
"Scott enough!" Derek growled coming to my side "Skye breathe, you have to breathe for…" he stopped making me look up
"For what?" I asked him
"Never mind" I probed his emotions but he was only settled on uncertainty
"Derek tell me, for what?" I was losing my patience again
"OH MY GOD!" Scott suddenly exclaimed making me look up at him and saw he we shocked and his emotions were a mix of anger still but he was overjoyed and uncertain as well
"What the hell are you all-?"
"You can hear it too I thought I was losing my mind" Liam added cutting me off but he was looking a Scott
"Will someone please clue me in on what the hell you are all talking about?" I asked making brief eye contact with all of them and saw them look up at Derek as if asking his permission to tell me
"Guys give us a minute please" Derek finally spoke up sighing "And don't listen" they all nodded before walking out of the loft, as soon as they were gone I turned to Derek expectantly and crossed my arms over my chest
"What?" I asked when he didn't speak
"Look I'm not 100% sure but I'm almost sure you're…pregnant" I sucked in a breath and had to sit down as I felt like I was going to faint "I kind of heard a flutter in your stomach last night and started going over the symptoms-"
"No, no I'm not pregnant…I haven't been throwing up or-"
"You won't get nausea because you're a werewolf and are most likely going to have a born wolf so you don't experience normal pregnancy symptoms like nausea but you have had a few werewolf pregnancy symptoms like craving my steak last night because your body is going to crave raw red meat and then there's the snappy and moody behavior and the overbearing need to protect Alec who I'm sure your wolf sees as a precious cub needing protection" I felt like my heart was going to explode
"No, no this cannot be happening, we were supposed to wait, Monroe she'll…she'll take the baby or kill me so it's not born-"
"HEY, look at me" Derek cupped my cheeks and lifted my eyes to meet his "I won't let anything happen to you or the baby if it turns out your pregnant, okay we can figure it out together I promise"
"HOW!?" I snapped
"I don't know but we can only try Skye, it's what all new parents fear and have to learn" I shook my head
"I can't…I can't be a mother, I'm not ready…I'm not supposed to get pregnant now"
"Skye?" I looked up and saw Scott who came over and hugged me, I hugged him back instantly and cried into the crook of his neck "It's okay Skyezee, I promise we'll all make sure your safe and Monroe won't get her hands on either of you"
"I can't Scotty…I'm not ready" I cried
"I'm not sure any new parent is but we'll all help you, you have a whole pack of people behind you okay, you're not alone, not now and not ever okay, I'm sorry for snapping at you before and of course were twins no matter what either of us do that's something that won't ever go away, were one in the same" I nodded and let a small smile grace my face as I leaned back
"Thank you Scott, I love you so much"
"I love you too Skyez" he hugged me quickly before looking up at Derek who gave him an appreciative smile probably for calming me down before I passed out "Okay we'll leave you two to talk, I don't have to be back at UC Davis for a couple of days so Alec can stay with me at mom's while you two figure this out okay" I nodded and thanked him again then they left after Alec packed a small bag
"You okay?" Derek asked once they were gone
"No but if I'm pregnant I'll come around because abortion is not in the cards" I replied touching my belly softly "I think we should find out, even though I'm sure, I kind of freaked out today at school because I got a calendar alert saying I'm a week late and I've never been late once"
"We'll figure it out Skye, together okay, Scott was right you're not alone with this" I nodded and smiled "We're in this together"
We quickly drove to the nearest convenience store and walked hand in hand towards the health and beauty section as I wouldn't be able to do this on my own, I stared at all the different tests but had no idea which one was the one to get
"How can there be so many don't you just pee on a stick" I tried to keep my laughter at Derek's question as a few other ladies in the aisle turned and stared
"Derek not so loud" I reprimanded then picked up one and read the back on the box as Derek restlessly walked up and down the aisle
"Hi I couldn't help overhearing you're…" I looked up
"Husband" I replied to the lady who just walked up to me
"Is this your first time?" she asked motioning to the pregnancy box in my hand
"Yeah" she smiled then reached up and grabbed a box that was eye level
"This is the one most women go for, it's quick response and tells you how far along you are, it's also the most accurate" she handed it to me so I put the other one back
"Thank you" I replied just as Derek walked back up behind me
"It's okay and good luck" I smiled as she walked away then grabbed another one of the box she picked out
"Okay let's go before I run into someone who will tell my parents" we walked down the aisle but Derek stopped at the condoms "A little late don't you think" I said as he picked up his usual brand
"Just in case you aren't pregnant, I'm almost out"
"It's not like you've been using them lately anyway" I replied walking towards the register
"I didn't hear you complaining" I glared then put the boxes on the belt then saw Reese's peanut butter cups so I grabbed a packet adding it to the tests as Derek threw the condoms next to them
I kept my eyes straight ahead as the guy scanned through our items but didn't miss the look when he scanned the pregnancy tests and the condoms, way to go Derek make it seem like were estranged or something
"That'll be $23.50" Derek grabbed two twenty's out of his wallet and paid "Here's your change have a great day and good luck" he added looking at me, I offered him a small smile and was thankful when we were back in the car where I grabbed my peanut butter cups and ate them
"I thought those were Stiles' favorite"
"Don't judge me, I wanted something sweet" I replied enjoying them, although he was right I didn't really like peanut butter cups
When we got home, he put then condom's in his bedside table then put the pregnancy tests in the bathroom for tomorrow since they read that in the morning was better for a clearer result so we went to bed and didn't even speak which kind upset me because I hated fighting with him and because of my emotional state I started crying but had my back turned to Derek hoping he wouldn't notice
"Skye" I kept quiet and tried to keep the sobs at bay but was obviously unsuccessful "Baby come here" he pulled me to him which caused me to finally break down "It'll be okay Skye I promise we'll-"
"It's not about that Derek" I cried wiping the tears away
"Then will you look at me and tell me what's wrong" I didn't turn around "Skye please you know I hate it when we go to bed angry or upset" I sighed before turning to him
"It's just…we're already fighting so what's it gonna be like if I'm pregnant since I gather it's only gonna get worse" he pulled me tighter
"We'll have to be patient, I'll have to learn to be considerate and not say dumb things to make you upset" I laughed a little "And you'll have to make sure you don't try and kill me in my sleep" I continued to laugh which made him smile "There's my girl" he kissed my head "We'll be learning together Skye, I'm just as much a stranger to all this as you are" I nodded putting my arm around his waist and hugged his side
When I woke up in the morning it was before Derek but he was awake not long after, I was getting really nervous because this would determine our future
"You need to pee yet?" I heard him ask making me laugh at his impatience but then again I wasn't fairing much better really so I sat up and nodded then went into the bathroom, I turned around expecting Derek to be right behind me but he was sitting on the side of the bed "I'll wait here you don't need any more added pressure" I nodded and closed the door
I stared at my reflection for a little bit then finally grabbed one of the tests and opened it, then did what I had to do then decided to pee on the other one as well just in case, I put the caps back on then washed my hands before walking out and sat back on the bed putting the tests face down in-between us
The two minute wait felt so much longer than it actually was, I went over a list of pro's and con's in my head while waiting in hopes of distracting myself but made it worse
Cons
-In the middle of a crisis
-It's horrible timing
-Monroe is a danger to the unborn baby
-I promised mom it would be a few years
-Are Derek and I ready?
Pros
-It's Derek's baby
-It's our baby made out of our love
-A little boy with Derek's eyes and hair would be adorable
-I would still love the baby unconditionally
"Okay you ready" Derek asked snapping me out of my thoughts, I sighed then nodded and we grabbed a test each turning them over and I couldn't believe my eyes, Pregnant 3+, I was pregnant and more than a couple of weeks, I looked up at Derek and saw him looking at me as if waiting for me to break down in sobs
"What does yours say?" I asked him, he turned it to me and it had the exact same reading, I was pregnant because while one false positive can happen two is highly unlikely, I looked up then smiled because even though I admit this isn't a good time to be having a baby, I was…we are having a baby, I looked down at my stomach and smiled placing my hand on it then looked back up at Derek with tears in my eyes "Were pregnant"
"Are you okay?" I nodded but was still in shock "I know now probably wasn't the right time but you've made me the happiest man on the planet right now"
"It wasn't all me Derek" I replied grabbing his hands "We're in this together and I guess this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't meant to be" he smiled and put his hand on my stomach making me smile and put mine next to his
"I love you Skye" he grabbed me and pulled me underneath him making me laugh, I continued to smile when he started kissing down my neck then down my chest towards my stomach before lifting my shirt "And I already love you little wolf"
"I highly doubt I'm that far along for the baby to be able to hear you yet" he lifted his gaze to meet my eyes
"Better off starting now" I smiled but it soon turned into a frown because I had no idea what this meant for me "What, are you okay?" I smiled at Derek
"Yeah, I'm still in shock but…"
"What?"
"What's gonna happen, I mean what do either of us know about pregnancies and I doubt a pregnancy with a werewolf baby is going to be the same as a human one, so researching won't help because we don't know if it even applies to me"
"Skye there's no guarantee that our baby is going to be a werewolf, there we're people in my family perfectly human"
"But I thought…I don't want our baby to grow up feeling left out" Derek smiled
"Our baby will be happy no matter what because they'll grow up in a loving home with two parents who love them unconditionally and a whole pack to help us out and who will love him too" he kissed my stomach making me smile
"I can tell you want a boy" his smile grew
"I'd be happy with either girl or boy, as long as this little one is healthy" I nodded
"Derek I can't give birth in a hospital or even get checked out because they draw blood" he looked up with a small frown
"Maybe we should see Deaton" I nodded so we got up and dressed before we headed to the Vet clinic but I was getting slight cramps in my stomach, I started to rub it subconsciously hoping it would help "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm just getting a few cramps in my stomach"
"How bad?"
"It's not painful, more like usual cramps when I get my period" I can't believe I just told him that but also didn't miss the worried look he sent my way "I'm sure it's fine" he pulled up out the back of the clinic
When we walked in the bell above the door jingled but the gate was closed so we couldn't go into the back
"Deaton?" I called hoping he was here, it's been a while since I'd seen him
"Skye" he walked out with the biggest smile on his face "It's been a while, come on in" he pushed the door open and let us into the back "What can I do for you?"
"Well uh…I'm…we think I'm pregnant" I stuttered out and watched his eyes widen
"That's great congratulations and for the wedding as well, I'm sorry I had to miss it since I was out of town" he grabbed a chair and told me to sit down "Have you taken a test"
"Yeah two home pregnancy tests and they said I'm over three weeks-"
"We didn't know if it was okay for us to go to the hospital since that's not usually an option for us" Derek added cutting me off making me glare at him
"That was probably best, now I don't have the more modern technologies but I have this" he walked over to the cabinet and grabbed out a Doppler that he used on pregnant animals "This should be able to pick up the heartbeat if your over four weeks since I'm guessing you've missed your period" I nodded "Okay hop up on the table, lay back, lift up your shirt and lower your pants below your hips"
Derek helped me up on the table and quickly took off his jacket and folded it before putting it under my head for me as I lifted my shirt and moved my pants lower on my hips then Deaton put some gel on my stomach then moved the Doppler over my stomach trying to pick up the heartbeat but as the seconds ticked by I feared there was nothing even in there
I kept my eyes on the ceiling because I knew I wouldn't be able to face Derek if I wasn't even pregnant because I could see it, when I looked into his eyes this morning I saw how much he wanted me to really be pregnant, he wanted to be a father
I was just about to tell Deaton to stop when he smiled and showed us the screen which had picked up our baby's heartbeat
"That's the baby's heartbeat" I couldn't help the tears on my face "It's perfect, around 140 beats per minute" I looked over at Derek as he grabbed my hand "I'd say because we can hear the heartbeat your around four to five weeks" I nodded and sat up after I cleaned the gel off my stomach with the paper towel Deaton passed me
"So everything's okay?" Derek asked him helping me down off the table
"All seems to be fine, why have you experienced any problems" Deaton asked me "Cramping, spotting or bleeding?" I shook my head and saw Derek glare at me
"She experienced some cramping in the car on the way over here" he answered turning to Deaton
"Well I'm not an expert but I do know some women experience cramping due to the uterus expanding to make room for the growing baby, however if the cramping gets too painful and you start bleeding then I suggest you come here or go to the hospital" I nodded knowing that it wouldn't be a risk if I was miscarrying this baby
"Thanks Deaton"
"You're welcome Skye but you know I'll help you though this and I think we should schedule monthly visits just to make sure everything stays okay" Derek and I both nodded knowing it would make us feel better since we couldn't go to the hospital and Deaton was the next best thing for werewolf care
Derek pulled out onto the road and I was rubbing my stomach gently as I stared out my window until I felt Derek's hand over mine making me look up into his eyes
"Did you want to wait to tell people?" I thought about it for a second
"Well Scott, Liam and Alec all pretty much know since apparently I reek of hormonal changes and you can hear the baby's heartbeat" he nodded "Which means if we run into Peter and Cora they'll figure it out so I think I owe it to my parents to tell them since everyone else will figure it out"
"We can wait a couple of weeks if you want Skye" I shook my head
"No I want to tell my parents, I'll need my mom's advice" he nodded and started towards my parents' house
We walked in and saw Scott, Liam and Alec playing Mario Cart which made me smile as I walked into the lounge room and sat next to Scott who paused the game instantly
"Hey!" Alec and Liam exclaimed making me laugh
"Did you confirm it yet?" Scott asked me
"Is mom and dad here?" I asked him instead of answering
"Mom's working and dad is moving into his apartment" I nodded knowing dad had found a place and finishing up packing up his San Francisco apartment
"Can I join?" I asked grabbing the spare controller
"If you think you can keep up" Liam challenged as Scott un-paused the game and they started playing as I joined in seeing Derek smile and sit on the ground in front of me laying his head back against my knees
"You're on!" they started a new set of tracks and I started beating them straight away making me laugh at their surprised faces "Never judge boys, just cause I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't lay out a nice can of whoop ass"
When mom finally got home I saw her smile at the sight of us all mucking around and trying to make each other lose as we continued to race
"Hey kids and Derek" I laughed until I remembered what Derek and I actually came here to do so after the next race finished I dropped out and looked down at Derek who nodded, we stood up and walked into the kitchen where my mom was putting away some groceries
"Hey mom" I said grabbing some stuff and helping her, she looked up and I knew that look, it was the 'I know you want to tell me something'
"What's up" I smiled before sitting down and looked down at my hands
"You might want to sit down mom" she looked at me worriedly before reluctantly sitting down next to me
"What's wrong Skye?"
"Nothing's wrong per say…but remember when we talked out babies…and I said that it wasn't going to be a possibility any time soon" she nodded "Well I'm pregnant" I blurted out and watched her eyes widen
"Really?" she asked smiling which made me feel a lot better
"Yeah…it was completely unplanned and we really don't know what the hell were thinking but we want this-"
"Skye calm down, this is wonderful news" I smiled
"Thank you mom, I know we should have waited but I feel as if this was meant to be" I touched my belly making her smile and I felt so much better about the baby knowing that everyone was on board with this and I was actually growing more excited that I was making a tiny human being right now
