It's not really a warning, but you should just know that everyone seems to be quite frisky this chapter :P

Shout out to:

*Serena Sterling: Sweetness :3 Everyone's getting serious! I can't tell you that, then it won't be a surprise :P You're welcome and thanks!

*TheHungryRainbow: Aw, that made me feel really special, thank you :) We still have some chapters, I don't know how many, but the ride's still going!

*jayesh dms: Thanks! Yes, I plan to do more Derek and Jade, and I'll try with Peter and Jade too! I'm not that big a fan of them either, I thought they were overrated too sometimes. But, no, I don't have any face claims, sorry :)

*Guest: Yay Here's another!

..

Ash wakes up with a soft yawn. She curls closer to the warmth around her, tightening her arms around Derek's neck.

Derek's eyes soften as he looks down at the girl as she barely wakes up, not even opening her eyes, just trying to get warmer, closer. His arm that's around her tightens a little, pulling her just a little bit closer to him.

The movement causes Ash's eyes open now, slowly, blinking until she's fully conscious. Memories from the night before come rushing back to her and she looks up to find Derek's face. Not so much as a 'good morning' passes her lips before she presses them to his, holding his face.

But Derek isn't complaining, he kisses her back, threading a hand past her long hair to rest on the nape of her neck.

But, eventually, they do need air, and they do have to pull back, resting their foreheads together.

"Good morning." There it is.

"Morning." Derek replies, a soft smile dancing on his lips, because he's missed all of this so much more than he can put into words.

"I.." Ash smiles back, she can't really put it into words either. So, she kisses him again, straddling his lap.

Derek sits up, so he can pull her flush against him, and he can kiss her easier.

There's a knock on Ash's bedroom door.

"Ash?" Scott says.

"Not right now, Scott." She says as her eyes flutter shut, as Derek's lips leave hers and travel down to the sweet spot along her neck. The same spot that always smells so good to Derek's sensitive nose.

"I just need to know if you know where Derek is, Jessie's looking for.." Apparently, that wasn't warning enough, because he walks into her room anyway.

"Scott!" Derek objects to the younger male's entrance.

Scott sees a bare back, two large angel wing tattoos staring back at him. And he clicks right away that they're both in here, and they're both very naked, and apparently quite busy too.

Derek wraps his arms around Ash, hiding her naked torso against him.

"Oh..uh..this is..awkward." Scott says, instantly turning back around. "I'll tell Jessie you're..here." He says before quickly leaving the room again, shutting the door behind him.

"Oops." Ash says, but she can't help but chuckle. Normally, 'not right now' means not right now.

"You did tell him not to come in." Derek says.

"He isn't a very good listener. Reminds me of someone else." Ash says, raising her eyebrows at Derek.

"Me?" He guesses, amused.

"Yeah, you." She nods, a smile creeping to her lips.

"I think I listened pretty well last night." He smirks.

"Your performance in bed doesn't count." She says, slowly getting closer to his lips again.

"Yeah, we'll see about that." He says, brushing his nose against hers. "Now, where were we?" Derek asks.

Ash smiles properly now, brushing her lips over his with the softest of kisses, making that half-smile come to his lips too.

"Here." She says.

"You want me to listen more? Fine." He nods. "Tell me what you want me to do to you." He says in her ear, and suddenly Ash feels like a hormonal teenager again.

She's definitely never been asked that before.

"Hmm?" He hums, kissing along her ear and neck, making the girl get quite riled up, her breath coming out in little shaky exhales.

"Make me feel good." She says shyly.

"Consider it done." He says, pulling back and pressing his lips to her's again.

Ash kisses him back, the two rolling over until Ash is on her back again.

..

Scott walks into the Hale loft, finding Jessie and Stiles making breakfast. Not anything elaborate, because they don't want to put flour everywhere again. So..they're having cereal.

"I found him." Scott says, seeing Jessie's about to phone him again.

"Really? Where? I've been trying to call him all morning." Jessie says.

"In bed, with my sister." Scott says.

"Really?" Jessie asks, she understands Ash was staying over here when she was sick, she needed help walking around, she needed help with the pain..but that's over now. "They must be getting along better."

"Uh..they were..naked, I'd say they're getting along just fine now." Scott says with a cringe.

"Oh, c'mon, man." Stiles groans, grossed out.

"Well.." Jessie says, because that is a little awkward. "I'm glad they're okay again." She says, because that part is true.

"I thought I'd let you know anyway. I have to drop Jade off at daycare." Scott says, twirling his dirtbike keys in his hand.

"How come she's back there?" Stiles asks.

"She has to learn to be around other kids..apparently." Scott rolls his eyes as he repeats the woman's words back to him.

"She'll be fine, Scott. She'll be safe." Jessie assures him, because the couple can tell that's the problem.

Both Scott and Ash wanted to keep her home, but Lucy is right. Jade is growing up fast, she needs to slowly start being introduced to new things, and new people, especially other children as it's only a few short years before she's attending a primary school, a real school.

Don't even get Ash started on that one, she's terrified about it.

But you can almost picture how all of that is going to play out.

Scott's going to swing by the school once a day, just to check on her from the trees, somewhere she won't see him. He'll no doubt have his best friend with him, Stiles, who will be doing the same thing, scaring away any boys that get too close.

Ash will be taking her every day, making sure she has lunch, making sure she's okay, making sure other kids don't look at her funny because Ash will find a way to put a stop to it..non-violent of course. Unless it happened to be another parent or an older child..then Ash would have some more than colourful ideas.

Jessie will be in some of those car rides, her own baby in the car, while she makes sure Jade's okay too.

Hell, even Derek would be making the odd appearance every now and then, sniffing out the other kids, literally. Checking for any dangers, any scents that shouldn't be there. And Jade will run over to him and hug him, and show her friends her big 'hedgehog', making them all laugh together, and maybe Derek might have to force back a smile too.

Because Ash and Scott know she's growing up, so they're preparing themselves and Jade for the toddler to go into the big world, not just the small world their loft or Aunt's house confines her too.

But that's years away.

They have time.

"I'll see you two later, alright?" Scott says.

"Yeah, okay." Jessie nods.

"See you later, man." Stiles says, clapping Scott's hand.

Scott gives them both a small smile before leaving the Hale loft again.

"It's about time Derek and Ash got over their crap." Stiles comments.

"Yeah." Jessie nods, looking down at her hands as she fidgets.

"What's wrong?" Stiles asks.

"Stiles, we.." She looks back up at him. "We need to tell them."

"Tell them what?" Stiles asks.

Jessie just shoots him a deadpan.

"Oh..right." Stiles realises. He scratches his neck, becoming nervous enough though it's just her here. "Are you sure? I mean..we can still wait?"

"No, we can't." Jessie shakes her head. "They need to know."

Stiles nods, because she is right, he's just..very nervous to how they will react. But it's okay, because Jessie is too.

"We need to tell them. Today." Jessie says.

Stiles looks up at her, opening his mouth to object, because that's today today. But he doesn't, because she's right.

"Yeah, we do." He nods.

..

Jessie and Stiles look up when the front door's opened. They instantly notice how Derek has more of a skip in his step compared to how moopy he's been lately. It's awkward, and a little gross for Jessie and Stiles, considering that's her brother and Stiles' surrogate sister, but it's nice too, because they're happy for the two adults.

"Look at you, all happy this morning." Jessie can't help but comment, shoving another mouthful of cereal into her mouth. "I was wondering where you disappeared to last night."

"I stayed across the hall. I talked to Ash-" He says. Jessie and Stiles share a glance over his choice of words, but don't comment on it out-loud. "-I think me and her are gonna be okay."

"That's really good." Jessie smiles.

"Yeah." Stiles nods.

"What are you two doing up anyway?" Derek asks, jumping up to sit on the kitchen counter, because he'd expect them to still be in bed as it's not long after 9 and they don't have anything to do today. Well..they do have one thing they have to do.

Jessie's smile gets a little bigger, because just by his more carefree than usual actions, she can tell Derek is stoked about reconciling with Ash. And Jessie bets ten bucks Ash is feeling the exact same way.

"I was hungry." Jessie answers, spooning more cereal into her mouth.

"Yeah, I've noticed you've been hungry a lot lately." Derek comments, because all the spaghetti was gone. Then it was the graham crackers. Then it was the yoghurt. And now it's probably the cereal too.

"Are you calling me fat?" Jessie asks, raising her eyebrows.

Stiles shakes his head frantically at Derek, because that is the last thing you want to say to someone that's pregnant. And even though Derek would be the one to say it, when Jessie was finished kicking his ass, she'd probably kick Stiles' too, then blame it on being pregnant.

"No." Derek shakes his head, because even if he doesn't know she's carrying, he isn't stupid, he doesn't have a death wish. "I'm saying, you've been eating all the food lately." He says.

"Yeah, well, I'm.." Eating for two now. But Jessie stops herself before she says that. "-hungry a lot. I've got a few days worth of eating to catch up on after all the crap we've been through." She says instead.

"I guess you're right." Derek nods. "Just don't eat the leftover pizza, it's mine." He says.

"Pizza? Dude, how in the hell can you eat pizza and still look like that?" Stiles asks, motioning to his athletic physique.

"Obviously you don't know Derek very well." Jessie says, turning to her boyfriend. "He can eat a pizza all by himself, two whole ones if he really tried. He's just lucky that werewolf gene smokes through it." She says.

"Sitting right here." Derek reminds them.

"Maybe that's what I need." Stiles says, assessing his own biceps, squeezing them. He knows he pigs out, but he works hard in the gym when he can too.

"No, I like your body the way it is." Jessie shakes her head. "All of it."

"Still right here." Derek reminds them, louder. It's his turn to feel that uncomfortable twang now.

Both teenagers chuckle, going back to their breakfast.

"You look.." Derek can't really find the word for it.

Jessie looks up at him, because he's talking to her.

"Look..?" She pushes.

"Healthy." He says. "I mean..you're all rosy cheeked and..glowing..I don't know." He shrugs.

Jessie and Stiles share a look.

Yeah, they can't keep this secret for too much longer.

"Thank you, big brother. You look..well..like you had a long night." Jessie says, raising her eyebrows.

Stiles can't help but snort up his milk onto the counter.

"You're cleaning that up." Derek says, looking at Stiles with a glare as the younger male coughs and tries not to choke. Then he looks at Jessie. "Like I said, I think me and Ash are gonna be fine." He says with this proud little smirky thing, before he goes into his room.

"That's so gross. But it's so sweet." Jessie says with a soft smile.

She turns to Stiles and shakes her head with a fond look before rubbing his back as he recovers from the Cheerio that got jammed in his throat.

When stands back up properly now, catching his breath. He looks at his girlfriend, his pregnant girlfriend. The only person who would put up with him choking on Cheerios, and spitting milk everywhere, and still try to help him. His girl.

"God, I love you, Jess." He says.

"And I love you. And your milk mustache." She chuckles, wiping away a drop of milk from his chin.

Stiles runs his tongue over his top lip, swiping away the milk.

"You know, you look like a lizard when you do that." She says, looking throughly amused with herself.

Stiles raises his eyebrows at her as he finishes cleaning up his mess, but he's smiling. He surprises her, lifting her up by her hips so her legs come around his torso.

"Maybe I gotta find something else to do with my tongue then." He says with a smirk.

"Jesus, Stiles, Derek's right there." Jessie says quietly, glancing over at his room.

"He'll leave." Stiles shrugs.

Jessie just chuckles again, because how the hell has this become her life?

"Take me upstairs then." She whispers.

"Yes, ma'am." He grins, walking towards the stairs without hesitation.

..

It isn't until later that day do Jessie and Stiles finally get the pack all in a room together.

"What's this about?" Scott asks. "Is something wrong? Is someone hurt?" He asks, because that's sadly their go-to after everything they're all been through.

"We're all fine, Scott, we just have some news." Stiles says.

"What? What kind of news?" Isaac asks.

"We were waiting until Ash was better, and Jade was home, and everything was settled again, to tell you." Jessie says, looking around at the pack's faces.

"Tell us what?" Scott asks.

"My uh..my blood test results came back a few days ago, I went to the doctor's because I was sick." Jessie tells them.

"They came back? And you didn't tell me?" Derek asks her with a frown. "What's wrong then?"

"Nothing's wrong, Derek." Jessie says.

The alpha's frown just deepens, because he's plain confused now.

"Can you do it?" Jessie asks, looking at Stiles.

"Yeah." He nods.

He turns to the pack with this proud little smile and right then they all can tell it really isn't bad news.

"Jessie's not sick." He says.

Then there's that confusion again, because she's definitely been sick as of late-

"She's a month and a half pregnant." Stiles says. "We're having a baby."

Various jaws hit the floor, eyebrows touching the ceiling.

"Oh, my God." It's Ash thought that smiles widely. She gets up, racing over to the couple and hugging them both. "I'm so happy for you two." She says.

It's Scott next that stands up, because that's his best friend, his brother.

"I can't believe it, man. Congratulations." Scott smiles, clapping hands with Stiles before they pull each other into a hug.

But Derek and Peter stay in their place. They even share a look because that's their baby girl, their baby sister and baby neice.

"That's good news." Isaac says, doing the same thing with Stiles that Scott with him.

"Thank you." Stiles nods.

There was a time where him and Isaac didn't get along, now look at them. Then again, there was also a time when Ash and Derek didn't along, now look at them.

Once Jessie's gotten through the bustle, she squirms away to go over to her brother and Uncle, who still haven't moved.

"Derek? Peter?" She says, getting worried that her fear will come true and they'll be disappointed.

"You're having Stilinski's baby." Peter says with an awkward chuckle, because no matter how cold-hearted and burned up he is, that's still his sister's daughter, that's still his neice. And she's pregnant.

"Yeah." Jessie nods. She doesn't get mad with him, because he's been good lately, with helping the pack and not causing trouble too. And honestly, he looks stunned, genuinely stunned, and Jessie's never seen that on him before.

Stiles spots her talking to them and makes his way over to them as well. He stops beside Jessie, looking between both males.

"Everything okay over here?" He asks.

Two sets of glowing eyes fall to him and he suddenly feels very intimidated.

"Oh..shit." He breathes out, sinking back a little behind Jessie.

"What part of 'get her pregnant and you're dead' did you not understand?" Derek asks him, stepping forward.

Stiles takes another step back behind Jessie. He was really hoping Derek had forgotten about that. Seems he didn't.

"Uh.." Stiles can't really find an answer for that one at all. What's he supposed to tell Derek? That Jessie was doing things to him that made him completely forget to put on a condom, and he was doing things to her that made the whole protection thing slip her mind, and it ended with him knocking her up? No. No way. Stiles would rather die than say that out-loud. But it's okay, because Derek and Peter would rather die than hear him say that anyway. In fact, if Stiles did say it out-loud, both Hales would kill him anyhow.

"Easy now." Jessie says with a small smile. "I want this, it's okay." She tells her brother, putting her hand on his arm.

Derek looks away from Stiles, looking at her now.

"I want this baby, I wanna be a Mom, Derek." She says.

Derek's face does this little twitchy thing, because he really never thought he'd hear those words come out of her mouth. Ever.

"And I will be, whether you like it or not." She says, looking up to meet his eyes.

Derek still doesn't really know what to say to her.

"C'mon, Derek, say something." Jessie says. "I didn't get like this when you started to help raise Jade." The words pass her lips before she thought them through.

"I'm gonna go over there now." Stiles decides, backing away.

Peter doesn't say anything, but he follows.

Derek watches them, then looks at Jessie again.

"You can't hide it from me, Derek. You wanna be a Dad to Jade-"

"I don't wanna.." Derek cuts her off, but he can't make himself finish his sentence either. Because he'd be lying to her and himself.

"It's okay, it's not a bad thing. She needs some male authority in her life, and I don't mean Scott." Jessie says to him. "I know she's extra special to you. But this baby, it's gonna be extra, extra special to me." She says. "He, or she, is gonna be mine. That's you're niece or nephew, Derek."

"I.." He tries to find the words. "You really want this, don't you?" He asks her.

Stiles walks back over, seeing that look has fallen from Derek's face, now he looks..understanding. And he shouldn't abandon Jessie because this is just as hard for her as it is for him, maybe even harder.

"I do, I really want this." Jessie tells him.

Stiles arm slips around her, and he forces himself to meet the older man's eyes.

"We both really want this." Stiles says.

Derek looks between the two teenagers then exhales slowly.

"I'm happy for you, you're gonna be good parents." He says, speaking the truth past his surprise.

Jessie crashes into him, hugging him tightly. She was scared, so scared, that he'd be disappointed in her. But he isn't disappointed, he was just shocked by the news, they all were.

"Thank you." Jessie says.

"Why are you thanking me?" He asks her.

Jessie pulls back, looking at him with a smile and watery eyes.

"Just..for everything." She says.

Derek nods.

Jessie hugs him again and Derek's arms come around her now too.

Stiles watches with a small smile.

Ash looks over at them as well, a smile coming to her face now too. She watches Jessie let him go, and her and Stiles are about to walk back over the the pack, but Derek catches Stiles' arm. Jessie looks between them but Stiles nods for her to walk away. Jessie walks over to Ash, looking a little nervous because she's just left the guy that got her pregnant with her big brother. Not the smartest move.

"Hey, it's okay. Derek's not gonna hurt him." Ash assures her, putting her arm around Jessie's shoulders.

"I really hope not." Jessie says, still looking anxious. "Someone has to wake up at 3am to feed the baby." She can't help but joke, making them both laugh.

"If you even think about leaving her after you've done this-" Derek starts, grabbing Stiles' by the scruff of his shirt.

"I'm never leaving her, I would never even think about that." Stiles stops him.

Derek doesn't continue with his threat, he just lets Stiles speak.

"Derek..I..I love her, so much. I've never been in love with anyone in my entire life. Do you know how lucky I was to find her? How lucky I am to have her?" Stiles says.

"Yeah, I do." Derek nods. Because his baby sister deserves the world. And Stiles is the one giving her that.

Derek loosens his grip on Stiles' shirt before letting him go completely.

"I'm not going anywhere. I won't promise to not mess up because..I can't make that promise. I'm a male, I'm bound to mess up, it's in my DNA." Derek can relate to that one, so he doesn't object. "But I promise to always be there to fix it." Stiles says.

Derek nods.

"You gotta promise me something else too though." Derek says.

"What's that?" Stiles asks.

"You'll never break her heart, and you'll protect that baby with your life." Derek says.

"I'll never hurt her, not ever. And that baby will be my life, and I won't let anything hurt them either." Stiles promises.

Derek drinks in Stiles' words, he listens the younger man's heartbeat and he hears the conviction in his voice.

Derek puts his hand out to Stiles.

Stiles looks down at it, a smile coming to his lips.

Before Derek can question why it's there, he has an armful of Stiles. And he's..hugging him. Hugging him.

"You have no idea how much it means to both of us that you're okay with this." Stiles says to him, just loud enough for Derek to hear.

"I'm always gonna be here for my family, and that includes you." Derek says back.

Stiles has never felt as accepted as he does right now. Accepted by Jessie, by Derek, by the pack..he couldn't ask for anything better.

"Hey, look." Ash says to Jessie.

Jessie looks back over at her boyfriend and brother in time to see Derek bring his arms around Stiles too, clapping him on the back. A smile comes to her face, even if Derek does look awkward and stiff, her eyes watery because she was so scared in the beginning but things have gone so well that she's overwhelmed.

Derek looks up and sees her. He gestures for Jessie to come over.

She rushes over, wiggling between them and hugging them both as tight as she can.

"I love both of you." Jessie says with a happy, watery smile.

"Oh, God, here come the waterworks." Derek jokes half-heartedly, because they all know her emotions are going to be all over the place for awhile.

They all pull back, the younger two chuckling, and Jessie wipes her eyes.

"Well, Derek, since you've done this for us, I'm gonna do something for you." Jessie says.

"Do what for me?" Derek asks, looking at her.

"I'm gonna give you some advice." Jessie says. "Tell her you love her, and then marry her." Jessie says, nodding over to Ash who's now talking to Isaac, a smile on her face.

Derek doesn't have a word to say back.

"And then help her raise that baby girl." Jessie adds. "Because I know that's what you want."

Derek just looks over at Ash and then back to Jessie, still unable to come up with a response. He even looks to Stiles for some kind of help.

"She's right, Derek." Stiles says. "And I know nothing would make Ash happier." He says.

"We should uh..get back to the others." Derek says.

Jessie smiles, because she knows her's and Stiles' words have definitely sunk into him.

"Yeah. C'mon." Jessie says, taking Stiles' hand and leading them back over.

Stiles and Jessie watch subtly as Derek walks over to Ash and grabs her, then kisses her.

"What was that for?" Ash asks him with a surprised smile.

"Just.." Derek says. "Being you." He says.

Ash chuckles.

"Thanks." She says, before pulling him forward and kissing him again.

"Won't be long now." Stiles says, his arm coming around Jessie again. "Next thing we'll all be getting ready for won't be some supernatural attack, it'll be a wedding." He says.

"Yeah. We just gotta figure out how we're gonna get my stomach into a dress once I get a bump." Jessie chuckles.

"You'll be my big, beautiful date." Stiles grins.

"Hey, you can't call pregnant woman 'big'." Jessie says.

"I can call you whatever I want, because you're mine." He smiles proudly, rubbing his nose into his neck, making her giggle.

..

..

Well..I was nervous about this chapter, but, here it is! What did you think? Now, this is when I'm going to start to time jump, weeks, maybe even months, because this fic is finishing soonish but I want Jessie to have the baby by the end of it, maybe even see into the future at what the pack's lives are. Also, I was randomly writing this passage that turned out to be a one-shot, but it's not done yet. It's about Derek leaving after season 3a and one morning Ash comes banging at his door, demanding he comes home, and there will be Dash feels! Would you read it if I finished writing it and put it up? Favourite, follow and review!
