Chapter 37
EPILOGUE: Friday August 20th 2027 – Stiles' POV
Standing outside the house, I watched as all the kids ran around, chasing each other. I watched as Derek messed around with Tauriel, Oliver and Laura – our kids.
Yeah, I know.
Tauriel (Taurie) was ten, Oliver (Olly) was eight almost nine and Laura was seven almost eight. Laura wasn't even our youngest – that was Bayley. He was five... Bayley was the only one with blue eyes, the others having green or brown or a mixture of the two.
"PAPA!" Bayley yelled, running out of the house.
I didn't even have enough time to turn before he jumped onto my back, leaning forward enough that I could see his little face.
You know how people say that kids are either a 'daddy's girl' or a 'momma's boy'? Well – since it was 'daddy and papa' instead of 'mommy and daddy' – Bayley was the only one out of the four that was definitely a papa's boy.
"Hey, Bay-leaf. Having fun?" I chuckled, moving him around so I could actually hold and look at him properly.
"Grandpa John say he take me school in cruiser, on Monday!" he grinned, arms flailing slightly.
Bayley took after me the most – the flailing, the incessant talking... He was like me. I guess that would be one of the reasons why he – I suppose you could say – preferred me to Derek. Besides, Bayley was more Nephilim that werewolf, unlike his siblings, plus he had a very mild ADHD.
But he was perfect; they all were.
"Sounds awesome, Buddy." I smiled, walking over to one of the picnic tables we had all placed outside, sitting down with Bayley sitting on the table in front of me. "Don't you want to go play with daddy? Your brother and sisters? Cousins? Aunts and uncles?"
Bayley just shook his head, scooting forward slightly until he could hug me again.
"I stay with you?" he asked quietly, still sliding forward until he landed in my lap.
"Yeah, you can stay with me, Bud." I nodded, wrapping my arms around him.
Moving him slightly, I got Bayley so he was sitting side ways, facing the others as they continued to chase around.
I still couldn't believe how many of us there were... I mean there was: Scott, Allison, Isaac, Danny, Jackson, Lydia, Boyd, Erica, Derek, me, my dad, Melissa, Chris... And that wasn't counting the kids!
Derek and I had: Tauriel Claudia Stilinski-Hale (Taurie), Oliver John Stilinski-Hale (Olly), Laura Talia Stilinski-Hale (Lor, Ra-Ra) and Bayley Cayden Stilinski-Hale (Bay-leaf, B).
Scott and Allison had: Henry Elijah McCall and Joanna-Beth McCall (Jo).
Jackson and Lydia had: Dawn Amelia Whittemore and Charlie Dean Whittemore (twins), and Tessa Rose Whittemore.
Danny and Isaac had: Leolani Hayden Mãhealani-Lahey (Leo) and Alana Grace Mãhealani-Lahey (Als, Lana).
Boyd and Erica had: Michael Jonah Boyd (Mike, Mikey), Cassandra Tegan Boyd (Cas, Cassie) and Simon Anthony Boyd (Si).
There were a lot of us, right?
But I wouldn't change it for anything. I loved each and every one of them. I mean, they were my family.
Bayley and I were still sitting at the picnic table, and I listened as my youngest son talked about, well, just about anything he could think of – definitely took after me.
I don't actually know how long we had actually been sat there, but I couldn't care. I was surrounded by the people I loved and they were all safe. That's all I needed to know.
Of course, as soon as arms went around my from behind and a chin was on the top my head it was instantly better.
"Daddy!" Bayley grinned, leaning back so he could see Derek.
"Hey, Champ." Derek chuckled, one of his hands reaching out to ruffle his black hair. "Bayley, why don't you go play with your brother and sisters."
That only made Bayley bury himself closer to me, hiding his face in my chest as his little fists curled into my t-shirt. There were a lot of times when he didn't want to leave my side... Some people thought it was separation anxiety or whatever...but it really wasn't.
Before Bayley, Derek and I had lost a child. Well, we thought we did. Apparently, when developing, Bayley combined with the one we thought we lost, which is how we thought he was more like me than the others.
Ever since he was born, he had always been quite attached to me...we couldn't really figure out why. But that was fine. I loved each one of my children, I loved my baby boy. I didn't care what people said.
The 'pregnancy' – if you could even call it that – was strange. Being a Nephilim and having Grace (aka Angel Power), it made it possible for Derek and I to actually have our own kids. What would happen was – instead of an egg/embryo/foetus, there was a tiny little bit of extra Grace, which would latch on to mine and grow for nine to ten months. After that time, the Grace would detach – painful, very painful – and then, poof, there was a baby.
With Danny and Isaac, however, it was a bit different. There was a spell and, well, it was all very confusing and hard to explain. But it worked. Worked even better when you had a bit of Nephilim Power on your side too...
"Bayley, come play!" I heard Tauriel yell.
"Come on, baby bro!" Olly called.
"It's no fun without you!" Laura added.
I saw Bayley turn his head to the side, glancing at his siblings. But, like he usually did, he turned his head back to being hidden in my chest.
Sighing, I couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Hey, Buddy." I whispered, pulling and lifting him up slightly, kissing his forehead lightly. "How about I tell you an extra special story tonight if you go play? Sound good?"
"Any story?" he whispered back.
"Any story you want."
I swear, it was the fastest I had ever seen him move.
"Definitely your son." Derek chuckled, turning his nose into my hair, swaying slightly.
Rolling my eyes, I managed to get out of his hold so I could stand up and face him, wrapping my arms around his neck as I did so.
I still found it amazing how Derek and I had been married for eleven years and we had four adorable kids. We had our friends, we had our Pack, we had our family, we had each other.
There was nothing else we needed.
