Beneath The Waves Chapter 35
Four weeks had gone by since the day of the storm that had left Stiles badly injured.
His ankle had taken about two weeks to heal but now he was back to his old self after Kish nursed him back to health.
The summer was winding down and the air was getting cooler as the leaves started to change color.
The farm was up and running and Stiles was proud of how much they had managed to get done in the short amount of time that they had been here.
The animals were thriving and Dyani had gained weight and was now looking like a normal mini horse much to Stiles and Kish's surprise.
As the weeks went on, Stile's mind was focused on one thing and one thing only.
He wanted to take his relationship with Kish to the next level and make her a permanent member of the Stilinski clan.
He had been talking to Scott frequently about how his feelings for his little mate had grown and Scott had told him how he should discuss everything with his father whom still had yet to visit.
Stiles knew that he should have contacted his father long ago when he first moved to Cape Cod and even more so after he had found his mate.
But a thought in the back of his mind always had stopped him.
He was afraid that his father would still treat him like a kid and would react badly to him being with Kish.
He most definitely didn't want to have the conversation with him where he would tell him that he was planning on proposing to his mate while they were both still seventeen.
But he knew he would have to.
That was how Stiles found himself sitting at the kitchen table while Kish was out with Gelsey getting things to fix up the house which they still had yet to decorate very much.
He was currently staring at his iPhone where he had just hung up after a particularly long conversation with his werewolf best friend.
Scott had had enough of Stiles dancing around the issue of calling his father so he made a direct order as Stiles Alpha to call him as soon as they hung up.
Stiles almost flat out refused but he knew that even though he was thousands of miles away, he was still a member of his pack.
He also knew that Scott really wasn't speaking as his Alpha but more of his best friend.
Closing his eyes, he wished that this was going to be easier but fully expected the shit storm that was going to come from this conversation that he had been dreading since he first laid eyes on his mate.
Nervous energy flowed out of his as he became twitchy and bounced his leg up and down while tapping his fingers on the table.
Running a hand through his shaggy long brown hair he jumped out of his skin when the sound of Kish's voice floated through the crevices of his mind.
"Stiles, what's wrong?
I can hear your heart racing from here.
Did something happen?
Do I need to come home?
I can sense that you're freaking out.
I'm really worried, babe."
Stiles blew out a large breath before shaking his head trying to get his nerves to subside before answering his mate's frantic cries.
"It's okay, baby.
It's nothing big I promise.
I just got off the phone with Scott and now I'm working up the courage to call my dad."
He whispered as he felt her give a mental pause before giving the equivalent of a hug through their bond.
"Oh babe…You're still worried about how your dad is going to react?
You know that Scott wouldn't have told you to call him if he knew it was going to be bad.
Scott has a good head on his wolfie shoulders.
He's an Alpha for a reason.
Don't worry so much.
Take a deep breath and then call your dad.
I'm sure he's really worried seeing as how you haven't called him since you've been here.
I know you miss him too.
I can feel it through our bond, babe.
While you're at it, invite him to come here and stay for a while.
I'm excited to meet him."
Stiles took a deep breath and exhaled before giving a small smile.
"Thanks baby.
You always know exactly what to say to make me feel better.
I hope you're having fun with Gelsey.
I can't wait till you come back home.
I love you Kish."
He felt her smile as she sent him images of all of the things that Gelsey and her had in their cart at the home décor store.
"I love you too, babe.
Don't worry we're having a blast.
Now go talk to your old man ASAP.
I'll see you when we get home.
Peace out."
Stiles laughed before he sighed and steeled himself for what he thought was going to be the biggest confrontation of his life.
Grabbing his phone, he dialed the one number that he knew by heart.
As it rang, he felt his heart beat out of his chest before he heard the voice that made his eyes blur with tears.
"Stiles?"
