Two Pink Lines
Stiles didn't know how Jo wasn't freaking out. Stiles was more of a nervous mess than usual and this baby wasn't even his. He had a million of questions and didn't know where to start or what to ask first.
Jo grabbed the pregnancy test and the box. She then shoved it into her jacket pocket. The young pregnant teenage girl stood up, not even glancing at Stiles, and walked out of the bathroom.
"What are you doing?" Stiles asked softly as he turned around to see Jo in a duffle bag looking for something.
"Getting perfume," Jo answered continuing to search her bag. She pulled out two small bottles of the same perfume and tossed one to Stiles. "Start spraying the room."
Not asking why Stiles started to spray the room. The room started to smell like strawberries and flowers. Stiles didn't know what type of the flower. All he knew was the fact that it smelled good.
Stiles used up half of the bottle when he notices that Jo was spraying the bathroom intensely. Jo shook the bottle trying to get all of the fumes out of it before she tossed it to the floor. The light pink bottle shatters all over the floor. Jo stepped over the broken glass and grabbed her perfume from Stiles.
"Come on, we need to go," Jo said as she and Stiles left the house and jumped into the blue jeep.
"Where are we going?" Stiles asked starting his car.
"The grocery store," Jo replied as she looked out her window.
Not needing another word, Stiles pulled out of the driveway and started to go to the store wondering how his best friend was going to handle this.
Derek stood in front of the McCall's house alone with Scott. He didn't have any of his betas with him. For what he was going to talk about with Scott it was important not to have any of the betas with him. Derek didn't want the news to get around fast. He mainly didn't want Isaac to know about it.
Scott leaned against his door with his arms crossed. He was supposed to be meeting Allison in half an hour at their make-out spot in the woods. Whatever Derek needed to tell Scott, Scott wanted it to happen fast. The sooner Derek could leave the sooner Scott can go see his secret girlfriend.
"Jackson notices that me and Isaac were following him today," Scott announced remember what happened at school today. "He was asking a lot about Jo."
Derek clenched his jaw. This only proves his newest theory more.
"Did you and Boyd find anything at the library?" Scott asked.
"The kanima seeks a master, not a friend," Derek explained. "Someone is controlling him. I think I know who."
Scott stood up fast his eyes growing big. "Who?"
"I think it might be Jo," Derek said softly. Scott opened his mouth to argue but Derek continued. "The night Peter bit her I took her to Deaton and her skin start to turn into scales like the kanima. Something is happening to her for sure. It makes sense that she could be controlling the kanima. I don't think that she is doing it on purpose."
"What are we going to do if it is her?" Scott wondered. "You still want to kill her?"
"No," Derek growled his eyes flashing red. "We need to test her. Boyd and I also found something other things that show Jo could be something else."
"How are you going to test her?" Scott asked.
"That what I came over here for." Derek said, "I need your help."
Scott let out a sigh looking down at his phone. He had twenty minutes. Scott opened his door allowing Derek to follow.
The sun began to set while Jo and Stiles walked up the grocery store. Jo tossed the pregnancy test and box into the trash can not looking up at Stiles who stood next to her. Stiles was still freaking. Jo, on the other hand, made no sense to Stiles.
"What are we even doing here, Jo?" Stiles asked as the two walked into the store.
Jo was very calm about the horrible situation that was happening to her. She walked to one of the isles with chips.
Stiles stood behind her as Jo looked at her many options of chip choices. Stiles had his arms crossed and one foot tapping on the tile floor. He was fed up with this crap. Any other time Jo would be freaking out about everything. But the one thing that made absolute sense to be freaking out about she was calm.
"Jo!" Stiles exclaimed. Jo slowly turned around to the look at her friend. "Why are you so calm? This isn't something you should be calm about."
Jo started to laugh. A deep laugh that caused Jo to grab her stomach. Stiles' mouth dropped slightly. Was this a joke? Not a funny joke at all.
"Don't you understand, Stiles," Jo said still slightly chuckling, "when I think my life can't get any worse it does. Do you not see the irony in this? I don't have anywhere to live, I'm basically going crazy, my boyfriend is hiding stuff from me and what does the world decide to do to me? Get me knocked up."
"Maybe this is funny to you but what about Derek?" Stiles asked. The smile on Jo's face disappeared. "You are going to have to tell him. What are you going to do about that? He freaked out about you now because there is something wrong with you how do you think he is going to act when he finds out you are pregnant?"
"He isn't going to know," Jo said her voice getting softer as she took a step closer to Stiles.
"It is his kid to Jo," Stiles spoke in a whisper his brown eyes looking at Jo's blue. He let out a heavy sigh. "I'm all for one if you want to stop talking to him. He creeps me out and isn't good enough for you. But it is his kid too."
"Fine." Jo snapped. "I'll tell him. Me. Not you, this is something I'm going to have to do, not you."
"Are you going to actually tell him?" Stiles asked.
"I will when I'm ready," Jo said. "Not now. I still need a moment to figure everything out. Until then you aren't going to tell him anything. You aren't going to even say anything to Scott. No one can know."
Jo turned back to the chips.
Stiles shook his head. "This isn't right."
Jo grabbed a bag of Hot Cheetos as she mumbled, "it isn't right that everyone is hiding stuff from me either."
The young girl then turned to go pay not knowing that Stiles heard her.
"Off work Delilah?" Jasper, a retail worker, asked the young woman as he buckled his name tag on his brown shirt.
Delilah turned from her locker with a smile on her lips. "Yes thank the lord." Delilah shoved her name tag into her locker.
"Doing anything special tonight?" Jasper wondered.
Delilah grabbed her black purse. "I'm working my other job tonight."
Jasper let out a playful groan. "Two jobs, huh. Rough life."
Delilah chuckled. "You have no idea. I'll see you tomorrow."
The young woman walked out of the back room with a soft smile on her face. She pulled her hair tie off her wrist and pulled up her long dark hair into a high ponytail. Two pieces fell framing her face.
Delilah moved past the customers with ease. She couldn't wait to leave this crappy town. No one knew but Delilah was going to leave the following week. Beacon Hills was truly the worst. The town sucked in people and no one ever left. Delilah refused to become like everyone else. She was going to leave as soon as she got her last job done.
Delilah walked past the registers to see huge lines. Delilah couldn't help but smile even bigger knowing she wouldn't have to deal with that. The woman stopped in front of the doors and pulled out her dark sunglasses.
The sun was setting outside. She walked out the moving doors to see a young black woman and a tall white man walk away from the trash can that was next to the doors. Delilah slightly moved her glasses down and looked at the woman more than the man. It was like she saw her early today.
"What are we even doing here, Jo?" The teenage boy asked.
The woman didn't answer but walked into the store passing Delilah with the teenage boy right behind him. Delilah stopped her tracks. Jo? Jo Wesson? Delilah searches her purse for her phone and pulled up a picture.
The picture was a teenage black girl with curly hair that big. She wore a black long sleeve shirt and jeans a worry look on her face. Delilah looked at the picture then back to the store to see the same before on her phone. The same Jo Wesson.
Delilah places her phone in her bag and pulled out a clear empty zip lock bag. Turning it inside out Delilah placed her hand into the trash can and pulled out a pregnancy test.
This was what the young teenage bought early today. Delilah looked closer at the test. Two pink lines. Delilah flipped the bag so now the test was in the bag. Delilah closed the bag and shove it into her purse.
Her second job was going to be paying her some big bucks now.
Delilah walked up a park. The sun was mostly gone so the street lights were all that kept the park lit. An old man sat on a bench alone dressed completely in black. The old man was bald and his white skin glowed against the moon which was rising. Delilah walked over to the bench and sat down next to the old man.
"You are late, Delilah." The man said not looking up.
"Traffic," Delilah answered with one word. "I'm buying my plane ticket tonight. I can't stand this town anymore. Do you want me to buy you one too?"
"I can't leave until I've completed the real reason we came." The man replied.
"Until we get your revenge." Delilah nodded already knowing the answer. "Well, I have something that might speed up the process." Delilah reached into her bag and pulled out some zip lock bag. Delilah handed the old man the bag. "That's Jo Wesson's."
"She is pregnant." The man said reading the test.
"Probably with the alpha's kid," Delilah explained her thought.
A smile appeared on Gerard's face. "It is a shame that you never married Chris. You could have made an amazing member of the family."
"And the hunting business," Delilah chuckled. Anytime she worked with the Argents this was always mentioned. Delilah's and Chris' little fling years ago. "I know."
"Where are you going to go?" Gerard wondered as he shoved the pregnancy test into his pocket.
Delilah shrugged. "Wherever the job takes me I guess. I just can't stay in this town anymore."
Gerard pulled out a small envelope and handed it to Delilah. "It was a pleasure doing business with you like always." Gerard then got up and looked down at the private investigator.
"I hope your revenge goes well," Delilah said as she looked at the park and not Gerard.
"Revenge isn't the only reason why I'm in town," Gerard announced.
With that Gerard got up and left leaving Delilah alone in the park.
