I finally updated almost all of my other fics for those of you who have been waiting..far too long.. sorry :3 Shout out to Serena Sterling, Bree and Tesla424 for reviewing! I love all the words Serena :) And yay, Scott and Ash have cleared the air! The new Teen Wolf was good, besides the missing Sourwolf :( More Ash and Derek feels to come! I'm glad you guys are interested in Tyler because here he is! Like right now!
Ashlee's p.o.v
It's like slow motion. Scott's hugging Tyler tightly, Mom smiling widely. Then the, much more grown up than I remember, boy is back on his feet and staring at me.
"Ashy" Tyler says, running forward. I fall to my knees, hugging him tightly. I burst out in tears and I couldn't stop them if I tried. I really thought he wouldn't remember me, but he does. And he called me Ashy just like he always used too. I can't put into words how relieved and happy I am right now. No words can describe it. "Ashy, why are you crying?" Tyler asks, his baby blues clouded with worry. I sniff, wiping my eyes with my sleeve. I smile at him.
"I'm just happy Ty" I say. "I missed you so much" I say.
"I missed you too" he says. "You weren't here when I came last year. Where were you?" he asks. I squeeze my eyes shut, starting to cry again. I can't believe I ever walked away from this. Scott comes over, moving Tyler away from me.
"Ash went on holiday Ty" Scott tells him as he leads him into the lounge. "She got to do so many fun things" he tells him with a smile. I fall back, sitting on the ground, head hanging as I cry.
"I'm so sorry baby, I didn't think he'd ask" Mom says, coming to sit down beside me. She rubs my back and I lean into her touch.
"You don't have to apologise" I assure her. "I should be the one apologising"
"No, no that's in the past" she hushes me. "We're not gonna talk about that anymore, okay?" she says. I nod. "Now get in there and see Tyler, he's missed you like crazy" she says.
"Okay, thanks" I say with a smile. I wipe my eyes again, getting up off the ground. I go into the lounge and sit down on the couch with Scott and Tyler. Scott squeezes my arm in comfort as I talk to Tyler, telling him about some of the things I saw on my 'holiday'.
..
Mom takes Tyler out for ice-cream, Scott going with them. I decide to stay home and regroup with myself. I'm still shaking from this morning. I sit on my bed, just staring in my lap. I look up when I hear a noise. I rush over to Derek as he stumbles to climb in my window. His stomach's bleeding past his fingers from where he's holding his hand over the wound, he's pretty badly banged up.
"Derek?" I say, holding him up. "What happened? Are you okay?"
"I'm okay" he breathes out. "Peter..he-he's at the house. I couldn't go back" he tells me weakly.
"Okay, sit down" I say, guiding him to my bed. I close my door, locking it in case they come home. I go to Derek's side, taking his hand and leeching some pain. "What happened?" I ask him again. He grunts a little in pain.
"Peter tried to get me to go with him" Derek tells me. I have to let Derek's hand go when the pain becomes too much. "Thanks" he says. I nod.
"And you said no?" I guess. He nods.
"He-he got mad. I barely got away" Derek admits. I move the hand he's holding over his stomach. Peter gave Derek the same treatment he did it me, claws to the stomach. Derek's looks bad, teared open and bleeding black blood. I don't think Peter was trying to scare him like he was with me, he was trying to kill him.
"I have to stitch this" I say. Derek nods. I help him move so he can lean againist the wall. I go into the bathroom, finding the needle and thread I keep for things like this. When you're on the road by yourself, you have to learn how to stitch yourself up. I grab a towel too. "How much do you like this shirt?" I ask the male, sitting down beside him on the bed, needle up and thread already in my mouth to wet it.
"What?" Derek asks, confused. I pull the thread through before grabbing Derek's shirt and ripping it open with my claws so I can have easy access to the wound. I give him an apologetic look. "Oh" he nods, realising what I meant now. I start stitching, holding the towel over the part i'm not working on to hopefully help stop the bleeding. "I had a feeling you wanted to rip my shirt off but that's not exactly what I had in mind" he teases, chuckling weakly.
"I think you might be losing your mind" I chuckle, glancing up at him worriedly. His eyes start to close. "Eyes open" I growl, making him open his eyes. I go as fast as I can. I finish it up, breaking the thread off. I move the towel, seeing the bleeding's clogged and it's starting to heal now that it's stitched up. "You're gonna be okay" I say. I look up and panic, seeing his eyes are closed and he's not moving. "Derek?" I say. I search for a pulse, not finding one. "Derek? Dude?!" I say, shaking him. I swear to god.. "Derek?!" I freak, smacking him in the face. He coughs, eyes opening. I sigh in relief, leaning my head againist his shoulder. "I thought you were dead you asshole" I say, sitting back up to look at him.
"I'm okay" he smiles weakly. My ears perk up to the sound of a car pulling up outside. "I think that's your Mom..I-I should go" he says, moving to get up.
"No, no way" I say, stopping him. "Lay down" I tell him.
"But they're home" he says. "They-they can't know i've been here" he says, wincing in pain.
"I don't care. Just..get in my bed" I say. "I'll keep them out of here but you can't go back out there like this. Not when Peter's waiting for you at your house" I say. "Come on, get in, you need to heal" I coax. "You can stay with me for now" I say. He nods, face screwing up in pain as he moves. I help him under the covers quickly, hearing them coming in the front door. "Rest, finish healing. I gotta go but i'll come and check on you, alright?" he nods. I move to get up but Derek catches my hand.
"Thank you for this" he says. I smile softly. He kisses my hand before letting it go. I walk out of my room, shutting the door closed behind me. I walk downstairs, finding Mom, Scott and Tyler. I smile, picking Tyler up. The toddler smiles at me, hands starting to play with my long hair.
"Are you okay sweetie?" Mom asks. I nod with a soft smile.
"I am now" I say, talking about not only Tyler and being okay with Scott but that I know Derek's safe and healing too.
"I'm going to start dinner, will you be here?" Mom asks me.
"Course" I nod. "You want me to help?" I ask.
"I've got it Ash" Scott says. "Go play with Tyler. He's got some drawings he wants to show you" Scott smiles. I give him a grateful smile. I take Tyler back into the lounge where he's got his bags. I'm glad Scott and I weren't here when our Dad dropped Tyler off. I don't ever want to see that man again, ever. I love my little brother but i'm so grateful we weren't here when he was dropped off. It gave Mom some time with him by herself too.
"Look Ashy, look" Tyler says, opening up his drawing book. I smile proudy. He's always been artistic, especially for his age.
"These are so good Ty" I say, making the toddler smile.
..
We have dinner together and it makes me think of how things used to be. Only thing missing is our Dad but I don't mind. I'm happy with this moment, right now. When Tyler yawns, eyes hooded with sleep, Mom decides she's going to turn in as well as it is getting quite late. Scott decides he'll go stay at Stiles', clue him in on everything, John too. Mom says she wants Tyler for the night and i'm kind of happy about that because Derek's still in my bed.
"Night Ty" I say, kissing his head.
"Goodnight Ash" he says from Mom's arms.
"Night Mom" I say.
"Night baby" she smiles, going for her room. I wait until she's in her room and the door's closed before going into my room. It's dark in here but I can hear Derek's even breathing. I silently slip into my bed beside him. Well..I try too.
"Huge ass werewolf" I mutter, not able to fit on my bed with how he's laying. I think about taking the couch downstairs and leaving him my bed. Derek's not as asleep as I thought because he moves, pulling me onto the bed properly. I chuckle and he smiles, opening his eyes.
"Is that better?" he asks me. I nod with a smile.
"Are you feeling better?" I ask him, keeping my voice down.
"I am now that you're in here with me" he smiles sleepily. I scoff softly.
"Maybe you hit your head too" I joke.
"No, I don't think so" Derek says with that same smile. I blush, ducking my head. "That boy..was that him? Was that Tyler?" Derek asks me.
"Yeah, that's him" I smile. "He's still the little artist he was before. He's still so cheerful and cute. He's still everything I remember, just older. And he remembers me too" I smile widely. I turn my head to look at Derek, finding he's already looking at me with a smile. "Sorry" I chuckle awkwardly.
"No, it's okay" Derek says. "I'm glad he's come back, i'm glad you're happy" he says. I smile softly. I yawn, covering my mouth. "I can go if you want me too"
"I don't want you to go" I say. Derek nods and we look at each other for a few seconds. Derek doesn't any anything but he moves closer to me and closes his eyes again. I smile to myself, moving closer to him as well. I lean my head againist his slightly, shutting my eyes. I feel his arm move to drape over my waist. I peek out one eye but Derek keeps his closed, trying to fight a smile. I blush a little more, grinning. I decide to one-up him. I move to lay on my side, curling up againist his chest.
"That's better" he whispers, bringing both arms around me. I'm glad the darkness hides the wicked heat in my cheeks. "Night Ash"
"Night Derek" I say, feeling relaxed and comfortable in his embrace.

These two.. I swear.. Hope you like the addition of little Tyler McCall! I know I do! So..here's my thinking that I was thinking. After all this revealing stuff about their Dad I was thinking..maybe he comes back later on in my fic? Maybe he's a bad guy? Maybe he hasn't changed and he's still an abusive prick? I don't know. I just wanted to share my thinking so you could see into my writer's mind :) Favourite, follow and review! Just adding this note in a little late..I have a craving to write something apocalyptic. Little bit of Walking Dead, maybe some Resident Evil or I Am Legend even..yes or no? And yes, it'll be sporting my favourite pair (Ash and Derek) and other Teen Wolf characters! I feel like Teen Wolf should have brought in zombies by now..or is that just me? Anyway..is that something you'd be interested in?
