Beneath The Waves Chapter 36
Stile's hand shook as he held the phone to his ear before sinking down onto the bench at the kitchen table.
"Yeah dad it's me."
John: *deep breath* How are you kid?
Scott told me you were doing alright but I really wish you had called me when you got there…
Stiles: Yeah…I just needed some time to get settled and everything. A lot's happened since…you know…I left.
John: From what Scott's told everyone, I'd say so. Wanna talk about it? It's been way too long since we've had a real conversation, Son.
Stiles gulped and blew out a breath before nodding his head even though he knew his dad couldn't see him.
He knew that his dad was going to have a lot to say on his relationship with Kish.
It wasn't every day that your seventeen year old kid told you that he was mated to a Japanese water fairy and that they were planning on marrying her.
John seemed to hear the reluctance on the other end of the line and spoke gently, almost as if he was afraid that he would scare him away.
John: Stiles…I'm not mad.
Far from it actually…I just…really missed you.
It's been a long time since I've been alone without you or your mother here.
I'm just not used to it I guess.
Please talk to me.
I don't care what you tell me, nothing is going to make me hang up this phone, do you understand?
Stiles bottom lip trembled as his eyes filled with tears at hearing the words of reassurance that he needed so badly from the one person who meant more to him than anything.
Stiles: Well…I guess Scott told you about how I found my mate.
She's really amazing, dad.
She's everything I could've ever wanted as my other half.
And she's truly that.
She's my better half really.
I'm…not human anymore.
Kish and I are both water fairies.
Apparently I'm a Prince of an underwater kingdom and we have a best friend named Gelsey that can turn into a seal and this is like the best thing that's ever happened to me in my life.
Oh and I have a shark as a pet.
Weird I know, but he's actually very cute and kinda cuddly when you get past the fact that he's a shark…"
John: *interrupts* Son are you happy? Really and truly?
Stiles: Y-Yeah..I am. Like a hundred percent happy actually…
John: Then I don't care about the rest. If you're happy that's all that matters…
Stiles: …..Thanks dad.
John: When are you going to bring this young lady to meet me?
Stiles: Well…I don't really think I can go back to Cali anytime soon…I don't think I really want to either to be honest…
John: *smiles* Well then I guess it's good that I flew all the way here to meet her myself then huh?
Stiles: WHAT? Are you serious? Where are you?
John: Look outside Stiles.
Stiles dropped the phone and tore out of the kitchen and flung open the front door stopping dead in his tracks when he saw his father standing in the middle of his driveway giving him the original Stilinski smirk.
Stiles stumbled down the stairs and threw his arms around the Sheriff clinging to him tightly as a few stray tears trickled down his cheeks.
John smiled softly as he felt some tears of his own leak out of his eyes as he held his son close, relishing in the fact that he was here and he was okay.
Looking up and over Stile's shoulders he set his eyes on the baby blue beach house that the love of his life had cherished so much.
Rubbing Stiles back as he cried lightly against his chest, he looked up to the white clouds above and sent a silent hello to the mother of his child and a thanks to the heavens for the chance to be back in his life once again.
The sun shone brightly down onto the pair as the sounds of the ocean waves and seagulls flying overhead echoed around them as tears of happiness flowed from both father and son.
