Laughter and giggles surround the atmosphere. Everyone having a good time. Derek look around him from where he was standing. He felt…happy for once in his life. He was surrounded by the pack. He stood at the front porch of the Hale's remodeled house and looked at everyone.

He saw Liam and his girlfriend whispering to each other on the other end of the porch. Moving from them, Derek saw Argent talking with Doctor Deaton on the front yard but his eyes are always on Melissa. He saw Melissa on the picnic table, putting the final touches on lunch.

He turned and saw Lydia with Stiles' arms around her near the picnic table; they'd just got back from their honeymoon and Derek was happy for the spatz. He shook his head remembering the first time he met the hyperactivity teenage. He saw the Sheriff talking with Lydia's mother and wished them the best. He saw Theo sitting at the table chatting with Melissa about his girlfriend; they are having problems. He was surprised when Theo came to Lydia's and Stiles' wedding with a girl, he's glad he got over his issues.

He looked around and saw Braeden standing with Peter near the BQ cooker, he chuckled as she punched Peter on the arm and scolded at him for growling at the happy in front of them. Derek turned towards the happy couple. Malia was sitting on a chair with Scott kneeling in front of her, ears pressed to her huge stomach. A soft smile on Scott's face, Malia gently ran her fingers through Scott's hair and chuckled at Scott's wild description of their unborn child.

Derek thought back to the kid he met, confused and scared. He'd came a long way from that; becoming an Alpha on his own proving time and time again he earned that position. He'd never thought he'd have a cousin considering his uncle; but he's glad that he had Malia as one. She's weird to say the least but she is loyal and protective about everyone. He's happy for them, starting their family together. He can't wait to be an uncle again. Cora is still in South America with her own family, doing fine Derek hoped she can come for Christmas this year.

Derek felt someone tucking his fingers. He looked down to his daughter. Her blue eyes with long lashes against her caramel skin colour. He smiled and picked her up.

"Hey sweetie, what are doing up here?" he asked her.

"Mummy say time to eat," she replied with a toothy grin.

Derek looked at her mum and saw her beckoning them with a plate. Derek nodded and looked as everyone gathered around the picnic. Argent settling down near Melissa, Peter sitting between Malia and Scott earning a scowl from Scott and a chuckle from Malia. Lydia and Stiles sitting down with their hands joined. Everyone else find their own place on the table.

After so many years of being a lone wolf, he finally found his family. Somewhat odd but still a family he's glad to have and protect. He grinned thinking of what the future could possibly bring as he walked towards the table with his daughter in his arms.

I'll love to know your opinions on this please share. Have a lovely morning, lunch or evening wherever you are, ta!
