Shout out to Shreya, Bre x5 for reviewing! Sorry for the really late update! Bre, I won't tell you if you're right about the baby predictions because that'll be coming up soon ;) The roomates and dancing fics are put on hold for now but i'll update as soon as possible! As for Derek being more protective of Jade and baby once they're up and moving..definitely :) Enjoy!
Derek's p.o.v
"What's the news?" Scott asks Deaton when we walk back in through the ranchslider.
"She's going to be fine" Deaton says. I swear the entire pack sighed in relief at the same time. "But there is something interesting that might be happening-"
"What? What's happening?" I ask, worriedly.
"It's okay Derek, it's nothing bad" Melissa says. "I want you to come in and have a look" she says. I nod and walk over to her. I look back at the pack, finding them looking worried again. give them a hopefully assuring smile before going into the room. Deaton and Melissa follow me in. The door's shut behind us.
"What am I looking for?" I ask them, my eyes on Jade sadly. She's still not awake.
"Use your eyes" Deaton says. I tear my eyes away from Jade to look between them.
"Go ahead" Melissa pushes softly. I nod and go over to sit down beside Jade. I blink, my wolf eyes flaring up. My eyes widen at what I see. "What do you see?" Melissa asks me.
"She..she can't hold up her fox concealment" I say. "Is that bad?" I ask, turning back to Deaton.
"Derek, just tell us what you see" Deaton says, smiling softly at my concern for Jade and our baby. I sigh and turn back to Jade. I study the fox aura around her.
"She..she has 3 tails" I say, shocked.
"I thought something like this would happen" Deaton says.
"She gained another tail.." I breath out in amazement. It's not easy to get tails, Kira's only gotten her first after everything at La Iglesia and that was because of Jade too.
"Pulling together the amount of power that she did, using it the way she did..that takes alot" Deaton says. "But it doesn't come without a reward. She gained a tail in show of her strength" I smile proudly.
"She's gonna be okay" I say, finally able to believe it.
"She will be, and so will baby" Melissa says. I feel her squeeze my shoulder. I turn and give her a smile. "I'm so proud of her" Melissa says.
"So am I" I say, squeezing the hand she's got on my shoulder. I hear Deaton open the door, slipping out to give us our privacy.
"And i'm proud of you" she says to me. I look at her, suprised and a little confused. "I know your mother and father, your family would be proud of the man you've become" she says. I feel my heart pick up a little as I process her words. "And we all know you're going to be an amazing father to that baby" she says softly.
"Thank you" I say to her. "You..you remind me of my Mom" I smile sadly. "And I promise, i'll always be here for Jade and our baby. Always. No matter what"
"I know you will be" Melissa says. "We'd kill you otherwise" she jokes. I chuckle lightly. I wipe my eyes quickly, feeling a little emotional. I reach a hand over to Jade's stomach. The second my hand makes contact, my eyes are forced to glow. I yank my hand back, confused. "Derek? Derek, what is it?" Melissa asks.
"I don't know" I say, confused. I slowly reach out and carefully put my hand to her stomach again. My eyes are forced to light up again. I look at Jade, confused. Then I see a light. A red light.
"Is it the baby? Is something wrong?" Melissa asks, starting to panic.
"No, no, they're fine" I assure her quickly, not wanting to stress the older woman.
"Then what do you see?" she asks.
"A light. A red light. All around her stomach" I say, eyes studying it in fascination. "I think it's baby's aura" I say, eyes widening.
"Does that mean.." Melissa trails off.
"That means her kitsune side is..it's fire kitsune" I say, amazed. I pull my hand away, eyes flicking back to human. I turn and look at Melissa. I get up, guiding her out off the room with me. Scott shoots up as soon as he sees me.
"What's wrong?" Scott asks.
"Jade's stronger than before and she's going to wake up and she'll be fine" I tell them all.
"She gained a tail?" Kira guesses. I nod, smiling.
"And the baby?" Lydia asks. I look to Melissa.
"Can I?" I ask her.
"Go ahead" she smiles. I turn to them with a proud grin.
"Our baby's a fire hybrid" I say.
"F-fire?" Stiles asks, fumbling over the word. "Jade said they were wiped out"
"Looks like the new fire generation is going to be born" Deaton says, smiling too now.
"I get to be the proud father" I practically yelp. Scott looks at me with a grin. I clear my throat, realising how excited and un-me that sounded. "I'm proud" I say, voice husky again.
"Congratulations Der" Cora says, coming over and hugging me. I hug her back tightly. I know Jade will wake up, I know she'll be okay. And now i've leant I get to be the proud Papa wolf to a kitsune-wolf fire hybrid. I can't wait for Jade to wake up, I can't wait to tell her that she's carrying such a rare baby. I can't wait to tell her how much I love her and have missed her, how i'll keep her and baby safe and how important they are to me.
