Skye's POV

A whole week I went without Derek but Sheriff Stilinski called with the news that he was finally being let out so I didn't hesitate to jump out of the bed where I'd spent holed up the last week and quickly dressed in black jeans and one of Derek's shirts since my stomach was huge now that I was sixteen weeks.

I jogged down to the garage and climbed into the Toyota and drove to the station letting myself in seeing Argent and Derek were already out getting their stuff back from Deputy Parrish and I smiled feeling relaxed finally.

"Sorry but I can't let you walk out with this" I smiled as Parrish held up Argent's electric prod. "It's way above the legal voltage limit"

"Well I only use it for hunting" Argent argued chancing a look at Derek who looked at him impassively.

"Yeah well I'm pretty sure you can use it to jump start a 747" Parrish shot right back making me smile as I finally walked the rest of the way into the room as Derek was checking his phone which was obviously dead by now and I grabbed his hand making him finally look at me.

"This property belongs to me and the charges were dropped, although I'm not exactly sure who's responsible for that" Argent replied and looked over at me but it hadn't been me unfortunately.

"I am" Stilinski spoke up walking in and we all turned towards him. "I'll take care of this Parrish"

"Sheriff I'm not kidding, this things a few watts from being a lightsaber" I snickered feeling Derek's arm loop around my waist.

"I said I'll take care of it" the Sheriff insisted closing the 'lightsaber' and we followed him into his office. "The specialist I saw in LA told me the thing that every doctor says when he's trying to avoid a lawsuit 'We can't say for sure' and then I spoke to Melissa" I frowned wondering where this was going. "These are brain scans, my wife's and Stiles'" he showed the two brain scan copy's to us and Argent took them. "I knew they were similar but those are they same" he added as Argent lined them up. "Exactly the same"

"And I'm guessing this isn't possible?" Derek asked and I turned back shaking my head.

"Not even remotely" the Sheriff replied shaking his head.

"So the trickster is still playing tricks" Argent added dropping the scans down on the desk.

"But why this trick?" I asked sighing and leaned against the desk.

"When I was in the army, an officer told me 'if you want to defeat your enemy you don't take away their courage, you take away their hope'" the Sheriff replied.

"You don't look like a man who gives up hope easily" Argent pointed out.

"But Stiles might" I cut in feeling the momentary calm I'd been feeling being able to be in Derek's arms go up in smoke since I was brought back to reality.

"If this thing inside him, if its using his mothers disease as some sort of psychological trick then this isn't just a fight for his body, it's also a fight for his mind right?" the Sheriff added.

"You know he's left people severely injured" Argent argued.

"And other's severely dead" Derek added making me frown back at him.

"That's why I need the three of you, I need people who are experienced in this kind of thing" the Sheriff replied and we all shared a look. "I need you to help me stop him"

"And by stop him, you mean trap him" I looked up at Argent since what did he expect us to do just kill Stiles, Stilinski nodded then grabbed the electric prod and held it out towards Argent who took it and they shared a look.

We walked out and we got into the Toyota following Argent back to his apartment and despite being ecstatic that I finally had Derek back I was silent the whole drive since my mind was focused on Stiles especially as the sun was beginning to set.

"We've been apart a whole week, I expected you to be a lot more happy to see me" Derek spoke up making me turn seeing him chancing a few looks at me.

"I am, it's just I'm worried about Stiles" he nodded grabbing my hand entwining our fingers and lifted it to his lips.

"I know and were gonna save him" I nodded leaning my head against his shoulder. "You seem tired?"

"Yeah I wasn't sleeping very well but Deaton gave me something that helped a little but now your back I should be able to get a full nights rest"

"How are you, you should've had a scan right?" I frowned nodding my head.

"Yeah but I…I haven't scheduled one" he looked over.

"Skye-"

"I didn't want to do it without you" I argued cutting him off. "The sixteenth week scan is the most important because not only does it check for abnormalities but we get to find out the sex and I didn't want to find that out without you" he nodded as he pulled up to the curb.

"So you've decided you want to know?" he asked and I nodded my head excitedly.

"I really want to plan, we need to start buying supplies and plan a nursery-"

"I get it Skye" he cut me off with a slight laugh then looked up and we saw Argent and the Sheriff heading inside so we quickly got out and followed them to the Argent's apartment and we walked in seeing Allison was here already.

"This is everything non-lethal I could find" she spoke up as we walked into Argents office, I looked down at the desk seeing rope, smoke grenades, handcuff's and a few other things but there wasn't much and that was because usually hunters don't take the non-lethal way out.

"Take all of it" Argent replied so I sighed and started packing it all into a duffel bag with Derek's help.

"What's the plan here?" Stilinski asked us.

"Our best shot right now is for Derek to try to pick up Stiles' scent at Eichen House, especially if he went through something stressful there" I frowned looking up.

"Should all five of us be going to the same place?" I asked looking up at Argent.

"Where else has Stiles been showing up?" Argent asked back.

"School, the hospital" Allison replied.

"Okay hold on, we did this already" Derek cut in making us all turn back to him. "He disappeared, we started looking for him then walked right into a trap at the hospital" I nodded turning back to everyone since Derek made sense.

"He's getting us to repeat the same moves" I replied sitting on the edge of the desk.

"So what do we do, wait for him to come to us?" Allison asked.

"We can't, not if the oni find him when the sun goes down" Derek replied rubbing my back.

"Scott's working on them right now with Kira" Sheriff argued.

"That's the problem, were all trying to outfox the fox" Argent added and everyone fell silent as we looked down at the desk.

"Listen, I'll understand if anyone wants to back out" Stilinski suddenly spoke up looking around and we all quickly shared a few looks.

"I'm not gonna be the first wolf to run from a fox" Derek spoke up first and I nodded smiling at him as he put the last few weapons into the bag.

"Apparently I'm carrying a lightsaber" Argent added making me chuckle as Allison grabbed it from him and put it into the bag.

"Dad, you and Derek hit Eichen House, Sheriff it's you and me at the hospital and Skye-"

"Stays with me" Derek cut her off and I rolled my eyes grabbing his hand.

"Alright we'll all meet at the school" I nodded and we all moved to leave but I turned back seeing Argent loading up a gun with definitely lethal bullets.

"Making sure you have a few lethal options just in case?" I spat angrily at him.

"I like to prepare for the worst" he replied and I walked out angrily.

We headed for Eichen House but before we even had a chance to start searching for clues Allison texted her dad saying that they'd found Stiles at his own house so we quickly rushed there but he was already gone by the time we got there.

"What is all this?" Argent asked pointing at a chess board, we were in Stiles' bedroom since this is where they'd seen him on security camera's the Sheriff had set up. "What are these sticky notes for?" I looked down seeing various colored sticky notes with all our names on it.

Allison, Kate, Argent and my name was all purple along with my Dad's name while Peter, Ethan, Aiden, Scott, Derek and Isaac were all pink, Jackson was yellow and Deaton was blue but it made no sense to me.

"This is what Stiles used to try and explain to me about all of you" the Sheriff replied and it all became clear.

Purple was hunter obviously, pink was werewolves again obvious, yellow had to be Kanima since it was Jackson's name and blue would have to be emissary, I couldn't help the smile as I admired Stiles' attention to detail and the way his mind works and if it was set up this way I couldn't help think it might be a message from Stiles.

"Maybe it's a message from Stiles, the real Stiles" I spoke up and looked up towards the Sheriff but my gaze shifted to Argent as he picked up a discarded chess piece and I saw it was Isaac's.

"You think there's a reason my names on the king?" Derek asked noting that.

"Well your heavily guarded, though I guess the alarming detail is that you're one move from being in checkmate" I looked back down at the board and frowned seeing that the Sheriff was right.

"It's not a message from Stiles, it's a threat from the nogitsune"

"He's at our loft" I spoke up looking up at Derek. "That's what he's trying to tell us"

"And he want's us to come there" Argent nodded.

"Night's falling" Derek pointed out.

"This couldn't sound more like a trap" Argent added but I frowned since none of this made sense.

"I don't think it is" the Sheriff argued.

"I think your opinion might be slightly biased Sheriff" Argent snapped back.

"Hear me out, what we're dealing with here is basically someone who lacks motive, no rhyme no reason, right?"

"Meaning what?" Argent asked him.

"Our enemy is not a killer it's a trickster, the killing is just a by-product" Stilinski argued.

"If your trying to say it won't kill us, I'm not feeling too confident about that" Derek replied pulling me into his arms and I rolled my eyes knowing that was more about me and the baby then anything.

"I won't, it wants irony, it wants to play a trick, it wants a joke, all we need to do is come up with a new punch line" the Sheriff insisted.

"The sun is setting Sheriff, what do you have in mind?" Argent asked him.

We left for the loft and on the way I texted Scott telling him it's where Stiles is and when we got there we let the Sheriff go first so that he could talk to Stiles and see if it really was him in there while we waited just outside the door waiting for any sign that this was actually Stiles and not the nogitsune.

"Hi dad" I heard Stiles say and smiled up at Derek but he shook his head telling me to wait still because we'd been fooled by the nogitsune pretending to be Stiles before.

A/N: Not a long chapter so I'll try to update real soon and please don't forget to review especially to my earlier questions on whether not you guys would like Skye and Derek to have a girl or boy otherwise it'll literally be a coin toss on my part because I just cant decide.
