CH 14 – 2011
Derek, Isaac, Laura and Cora arrived at the Stilinski's it was Saturday morning, Scott had slept over with Stiles – staying in Isabella's room while Isabella had stayed the night with Jordan. It was only a minor disruption to Stiles' schedule, but Scott didn't mind spending the time with him. Noah was happy that Stiles had grown to have more than just Isabella and Scott as his friends.
"Scott, Isabella will be back later. If you can stay till she gets here?" Noah questioned, as Scott followed Stiles down to the kitchen.
"Hey Sheriff, I can do that," Scott smiled, watching as Stiles sat at the counter and waited for one of them to get his breakfast.
Derek knocked on the Stilinski's door as Noah opened it and came face to face with the Hale children. Though couldn't really call Laura and Derek children after all they were in their twenties but Noah had known them for a long time. Laura smiled at Noah before she signed that she'd left her hearing-aids at home.
"Hey Sheriff, yeah I know Isabella's not here," Derek yawned, he'd hardly slept the night before as Isaac had, had a nightmare and ended up in his room curled up in his beanbag.
"As long as you know, make yourselves at home," Noah nodded motioning for the four of them to go in before he spoke again. "Scott and Stiles are in the kitchen, you're just in time for breakfast,"
Stiles looked up from where he was sitting and saw Noah talking to Derek and waved, before looking back to Scott. Noah told Stiles that he'd be back at dinner time and that Isabella would be home soon, before bidding farewell to the others. Derek, Laura, Cora and Isaac walked into the kitchen to join Scott while Laura went to the coffee pot.
"Hi Stiles," Derek smiled at the teen, waiting to see what he would do.
"Hi. Today's pancake day," Stiles said, Isaac and Scott exchanged looks before Scott started to chuckle.
"What are we having with our pancakes today?" Derek asked as he started to get the ingredients out for the pancakes.
"Strawberries," Stiles signed as Laura was looking at him, and he knew that she couldn't hear him.
"Strawberries it is," Laura signed back before opening the fridge and searching for the strawberries as Cora sat beside Stiles and put her hand on his shoulder.
"How do you feel about Isabella spending the night at Jordan's?" Scott questioned, looking at Derek as he spoke. He wasn't aware of the relationship between them.
"Not the first time," Derek shrugged as he made the pancakes just the way that Isabella had showed him that Stiles liked them. "You do realise that she's seeing us both right?"
Isaac rolled his eyes, he didn't know how Scott could be so blind to something so obvious. Stiles waited anxiously for his pancakes, getting hungrier by the second as he heard Isabella's car pull up in the drive. Derek glanced at Stiles who slowly jumped off his stool and went to the front door, to wait for Isabella to walk in.
"Hey buddy," Isabella smiled opening the door knowing that Stiles was waiting for her. He knew her car and always waited for her the second he heard it pull into the drive. "Who's here today?"
"Hi, Scott slept over," Stiles answered, rocking back and forth slightly before he reached for Isabella's hand and saw Jordan standing behind her.
"Scott always stays on Friday," Isabella said, before hugging Stiles she was the only one that he would let hug him. "Hey Der," Isabella looked around Stiles and saw Derek in the kitchen with the rest of the Hales, Isaac and Scott.
"Hey," Derek waved the spatula as Jordan, Isabella and Stiles entered the kitchen and Stiles took up his spot at the counter.
"Derek's making pancakes," Stiles stated as Laura set a glass of orange juice on the counter for Stiles before making coffee for the adults.
"Boys and Cora, water, juice or coffee?" Laura signed causing Isabella to raise her eyebrow before Laura pointed to her ears and stuck her tongue out.
"Lore's having a lazy day," Cora shrugged before signing that she'd have water. "Scott just asked Derek how he feels about you two," Cora grinned, looking between Isabella, Derek and Jordan.
"Isaac? Did you want to talk?" Isabella asked, noticing that Isaac was moving even less than normal as he looked at Cora and Scott. Isaac nodded, so Isabella held out her hand for him to follow her.
Isabella and Isaac walked into the living room away from everyone else while breakfast was getting made. Isabella motioned for Isaac to sit down while she grabbed a pen and paper from her father's desk and handed it to him. Isaac looked at Isabella, biting his lip as she sat beside him, he wasn't entirely sure what Derek had told him.
"Are you worried about what Derek has said?" Isabella asked, taking her hair out of the messy bun that it had been in before pulling it back again while Isaac wrote on the notepad.
No he told me that he told you I was having nightmare's. Isaac scribbled on the paper before showing it to Isabella who nodded.
"He did, he's worried about you. We all are. Do you think you can tell me about it?" Isabella spoke quietly she knew that he didn't want the others to know what she was talking about. "You don't have to do it all at once,"
I'm not just having nightmares...panic attacks at school too... Isaac wrote hastily on the paper showing Isabella, causing her to gently take him in her arms and hug him.
"You know he can't hurt you now, and you have Der, Jordan, Lore, Cora, Scott, myself and even Stiles here for you," Isabella smiled at him kissing the side of his head gently. "Just take your time,"
My father he used to lock me. Isaac couldn't finish the sentence before he felt himself start to cry so Isabella pulled the paper and pen from his hands.
"It's okay, you don't have to say any more," Isabella hugged him with one arm while putting the paper and pen on the couch beside her and pushing it under her leg.
Scott, Stiles and Cora sat in the kitchen as Derek, Jordan and Laura joined Isabella and Isaac in the living room with their breakfast. Derek sat beside Isaac, as Isabella shook her head causing him to sit over on the loveseat with Jordan after handing her, her breakfast. Laura sat next to Isaac and silently put her arm around him and pulled the young teen close to her.
'I'll tell you later,' Isabella signed to Derek who nodded in understanding.
