Skye's POV
The drive back to California was long and tiring as I couldn't even manage to get my mind to shut off as I watched Derek who was currently passed out in the back seat of the Toyota, I'd always wondered what he'd looked like when he was my age but not like this.
"How do we even know this vet can change him back?" Jake spoke up making my eyes finally leave Derek.
"I don't know but we have to change him back" I argued and he turned to me.
"I thought you'd be thrilled, he's closer to your age now" I hardened my eyes at him with a glare.
"Age was never an issue with us and I fell in love with the older Derek, that's not the Derek I know" I protested and he must've chosen not to argue and turned his eyes back to the road as I turned watching Derek again.
I'll admit he was as gorgeous and handsome as a teenager with the same emerald forest green eyes and unruly black hair that looked like it could never be tamed perfectly but I loved Derek's hardened jawline, his stubble when he forgets to shave that always prickles when we kiss and if we couldn't find a way to turn him back I don't know where that we'll leave us.
We pulled up outside the animal clinic with the jeep pulling in beside us and got out ignoring the pouring rain soaking through our clothes as Scott came around grabbing Derek throwing his unconscious body over his shoulder as we all rushed inside and he laid him down on the table per Deaton's instructions.
"Wow" Deaton said taking a step back after seeing the state of Derek.
"Wow?" I asked sharing a look around. "Wow as in you've seen this before and know exactly how to fix him, kind of wow cause that's the wow I'm hoping for"
"I think you might be overestimating my abilities" he replied and I groaned moving forward to grab Derek's hand but frowned since he was ice cold.
"He's cold" I pointed out looking up at him. "Really cold" Deaton moved forward grabbing his other hand and checked his pulse.
"Do you think this is permeant?" Scott asked speaking up and I frowned looking over at him but turned back seeing Deaton shining a light into both Derek's eyes.
"I'm not sure a medical diagnosis is even adequate, this is well beyond my experience" Deaton replied and I looked back down at Derek worriedly since I can't lose him now, not when were so close to our happily ever after.
"So what do we do with him?" Stiles asked.
"Until he wakes up, probably not much" Deaton replied and I didn't like that. "It might be best to leave him here with me, he'll be safe here"
"You mean from Kate?" Stiles asked him again.
"If she's alive and she is what you say she is, she won't be able to walk past that gate"
"Why would she want to do this to him?" Lydia asked as I rubbed my thumb over Derek's knuckles never lifting my eyes from his face.
"Knowing Kate it's probably for a reason that won't be any good for anyone but her"
"And bad for everyone else" Stiles added finishing Deaton's sentence.
"You know you guys should probably go home he doesn't look to be in any danger, so maybe the rest of you should get some sleep it is a school night" I scoffed since I didn't care about school and as far as it goes I've officially dropped out given I haven't attended in the last three months. "And you all need to start taking care of your own lives again, especially those of you who are living for another as well" Deaton added and I looked up seeing him looking at me.
"Someone should stay with you" Scott protested so I turned to him.
"I'm not going anywhere, he needs me" he frowned probably to protest.
"Skye the vet's right, you've barely been sleeping these last few months" Jake argued beating Scott to the punch.
"I'm not leaving him" I punctuated making it clear they weren't talking me away from Derek's side.
"I'll stay with her" Lydia cut in. "My grades are fine despite missing a few classes" I didn't need a babysitter but nodded at her.
"I'm so not okay with this" Stiles protested and I rolled my eyes.
"Guys go" Lydia and I replied at the same time.
"No" Stiles spoke back so I glared at him.
"Stiles go or I swear I'll shoot you in the nuts" I exclaimed and Scott looked up.
"Text us if anything happens" I nodded my head as he walked towards Stiles grabbing him.
"Nope still not okay with it…not going anywhere, alright just cause your stronger…" I rolled my eyes as they walked out then turned to Jake.
"Jake I'm fine, go back to the loft and help yourself to a guest bedroom upstairs" he frowned but sighed.
"Text me-"
"If anything happens yeah I know" he rolled his eyes then left after squeezing my shoulder so I turned to Lydia. "Thanks" she smiled and nodded her head before I turned looking back down at Derek and brushed some of his hair down as I leaned in. "Come back to me Der, Talia and I need you" I kissed his forehead.
I stared awake all night standing and eventually when Deaton brought over a chair and told me to sit all while never leaving Derek's side as I watched and waited for any sign that he was going to wake up, Lydia moved to another seat and had dozed off my I couldn't rest my eyes even for a minute and looked up when Deaton walked in the room and grabbed his other hand so I smiled looking up at him.
"He's a lot warmer now" I pointed out since I haven't let go of his hand all night and was noticing his temperature was slowly rising with every hour that passed, he nodded and moved moving his fingers to Derek's neck and started checking his pulse just as Lydia started stirring behind me.
"How's he doing?" she asked.
"His heartrate is alarmingly high" Deaton replied so my smile dropped as I turned to look back down at Derek. "Girl's I'm going to try something, Skye I want you to keep holding his hand if that's okay" I nodded my head then watched him quickly grab a scalpel and walk back towards me.
"What are you doing?" I asked frantically but he held up a hand to silence me then cut down Derek's arm but it healed over fast which was…impossible since I've never seen Derek heal that fast and I would know since I'm always patching him up.
"That looks like it healed really fast" Lydia stated standing up to stand beside me.
"Unusually fast" Deaton replied confirming my suspicion.
"What does it mean?" I asked looking up at him.
"I'm not sure" he replied shaking his head. "Let's try something else, grab me a five-millimeter syringe top drawer and Skye grab me some tape" we nodded and walked over to grab what he asked but I looked up hearing heavy breathing behind us and turned seeing Derek sitting upright, eyes blue and staring at the ground.
"Derek" I said happily but he wasn't looking up so I took a step closer only to be stopped by Deaton holding out his arm protectively.
"Derek?" he asked but I rolled my eyes since Derek would never hurt me.
"Derek are you alright, it's me, it's Skye" I asked taking another step forward and he finally looked up but as soon as I met his eyes I stepped back anxiously since that wasn't a look of love or recognition.
"Derek" Lydia tried stepping beside me but Deaton pulled us back when Derek took a threatening step forward but then stopped and grabbed the side of his head.
"Wait" Deaton warned us. "Derek can you hear me, your safe"
"Derek" I called again hoping my voice would help. "Derek you're okay" I added but he suddenly lashed out hitting Deaton knocking him aside and when we looked up he was running out the back door. "Derek!"
"Skye don't" Deaton protested stopping me before I could run after him, I groaned grabbing my phone and tried to call Scott but it went straight to voicemail so I tried Stiles but got the same result so I rolled my eyes then scrolled through my contacts finding Mr Yukimura's number and texted him.
Scott, Call Skye
I knew that'd get his attention so I turned back to Deaton and started cleaning out the wound and just as I was covering it with a gauze and put tape to hold it there the two bozo's turned up immediately asking what had happened and where Derek was.
"He's gone" I sighed looking down at my task.
"I don't think he's just younger in body, I think he's younger in his mind too" Deaton added and they looked at us confused.
"He didn't recognize any of us much less me and he looked like he was scared out of his mind" I seconded finishing up then looked up towards Scott and Stiles.
"So if you're a teenage werewolf and your scared, where do you go?" Stiles asked.
"A wolf goes back to its den but Derek lives at a loft" I rolled my eyes.
"Not when he was a teenager" I argued looking up. "The Hale house" I supplied when they still looked dumbfounded.
"He wouldn't remember the fire, it wouldn't have happened yet" Deaton added backing me up and they immediately went to leave.
"Hold on" Lydia stopped them. "Say you do manage to catch up to him, what are you gonna tell him?" she asked looking at them. "That his whole family is dead?"
"I guess we're going to have to" Scott replied looking at me but I frowned since I knew how the fire and his family's death really affected Derek behind the tuff exterior he put on for everyone else and knew telling him would only hurt him again which I didn't want to do.
"Oh, good luck with that" Lydia said sarcastically.
"She's probably right, maybe we shouldn't" I replied looking up at Scott.
"At least until we figure out how to get him back to normal" Stiles added.
"We can't lie to him" Scott protested nodding at me.
"Okay I'll do it"
"No he's right, I don't think any of us can" I argued looking at Stiles. "Remember, he can hear our heartbeat rising" I sighed looking down rubbing a hand over my bump after receiving a massive kick to my side. "When we find him, we tell him the truth"
"If he gets to the house first, you won't have to" Deaton replied, I nodded then we set out getting into Stiles' Jeep hoping to beat him there but on the way we overheard a police call on Stiles' radio about a teenager being brought in and knew straight away we we're already too late and Stiles turned around heading for the station instead.
We got out and rushed inside quickly seeing Stiles' dad looking at Derek then back at a computer screen a couple of times before he looked up and seen us, I frowned since clearly they've been running Derek's prints.
"I'll handle this" the Sheriff said then ushered us into his office. "I want you to be honest with me, absolutely and completely honest, have you been time traveling?" she asked looking at us and I couldn't help the chuckle but stopped when he looked at me. "Because if time travelling is real then I'm done, I'm out you're going to be driving me to Eichen House"
"We found him like that" Scott protested.
"Where, swimming in the fountain of youth!?" the Sheriff protested.
"No, we found him buried in a tomb of wolfsbane in an Aztec temple in Mexico underneath a church in a middle of a town that was destroyed by an earthquake" I sighed closing my eyes since that was way too much truth.
"You told me you were camping!" I raised an eye shaking my head at Stiles' stupidity.
"Yeah we were, in Mexico" I watched the Sheriff stutter over something to scold his son with so I stepped forward.
"Derek's been ages backwards, he can't remember anything"
"We just need to talk to him" Stiles added cutting me off.
"Yeah well so far, he's not talking to anybody" the Sheriff argued.
"He'll talk to me" Scott said looking back at Derek so the Sheriff nodded then walked out ushering teen Derek in and he sat on the leather couch as the Sheriff gave us privacy. "Hey Derek, I'm Scott, this is Stiles and that's Skye, were here to help you but you need to come with us" Scott said once the door closed.
"Why would I go anywhere with you?" Derek argued.
"There was an accident, okay you lost some memory but we can help you get it back"
"How much memory?" Derek asked him again as I stayed quiet against the far wall since the last thing we needed right now was for Derek to pick up some werewolfy vibe like he did when we first met and realize he had a mate and a child on the way since he wasn't my Derek.
"A lot but you can trust us" Scott replied then bent down and I knew he'd flashed his Alpha eyes at Derek because his eyes widened.
"You're an Alpha" I smiled rubbing my bump feeling Talia kick. "Okay who are you, who are they, who are you?" Derek argued loudly looking up at Stiles before his eyes drifted over towards me.
"Oh we're the ones keeping you out of jail" Stiles spoke up making Derek's eyes move away from me.
"Let us help you" Scott added but Derek shook his head leaning back in his seat.
"No"
"Okay dude, you almost tore apart two cops back there, you need to listen to us and that starts with no fangs, no claws, no wolf man, you got that?"
"I'm fine as long as it's not on a full moon" Derek protested and my eyes widened since I'd never known Derek not to have control on a full moon, he always seemed to be fine.
"You still have trouble on the full moon?" Scott asked shocked as I was.
"I said I'm fine" Derek argued looking up at him.
"Alright so you coming with us or not?" Stiles asked standing up from the desk.
"You want me to trust you?" Derek asked staring up at them. "Where's my family?" he asked and I frowned uncrossing my arms as Scott hesitated.
"There was a fire and…" he began then paused so I sighed knowing that telling him the truth would only get him to not trust us so I walked forwards knowing out of all of us I was the only one that might be able to lie to Derek.
"They're not here anymore, they're fine just had to move out of Beacon Hills" I lied thinking about Cora and hoped my heartbeat stayed steady. "And were gonna take you to them as soon as we figure out how to get your memories back" he looked like he had tears in his eyes as he exhaled loudly before nodding.
"Okay" he agreed so I smiled and nodded my head before we gestured the Sheriff back in and he got Derek cleared as we waited by the front desk and I sighed loudly since I'd never lied to Derek before.
"I shouldn't have done that, I lied my ass off and I've never lied to him before"
"Hey your ass is fine, you saved him a ton of unnecessary pain" Stiles argued grabbing my hand squeezed it. "We'll figure this out in a day or two he goes back to being old Derek everyone's happy, except for Derek who's never happy unless he's with you" I rolled my eyes at him.
"It's just another person that were lying to" Scott protested. "Just I always feel like it's easier when we tell the truth, with Lydia, my mom, your dad"
"But that is Derek Hale in there, he may be a kid right now but he's still Derek Hale" Stiles argued and I sighed.
"Alright take him to my house and don't let him out of your sight"
"Not going to be a problem" I replied looking back at Derek and once again our eyes met but I looked away first because it killed me when I still saw no recognition or love in his eyes that I was so used to seeing when he looked at me. "So where are you going?" I asked him.
"I'm going to talk to the guy we should have gone to before" I groaned rolling my eyes knowing he was talking about Peter.
"Uh…yeah I hate that guy" Stiles protested and I hit his arm as Derek was walking towards us so we took him back to Scott's place and it was definitely an awkward car ride especially when I felt Derek's gaze on the back of my head the whole way and I was rubbing my bump since she was overly active as if she could feel her father's presence.
"We're just going to wait here for Scott, we're going to sit quietly and we're not going to call or talk anyone" Stiles said as we let ourselves into Scott's place since Stiles had a key.
"Do I talk to you?" Derek asked him walking in behind us.
"No" Stile's replied.
"Good" Derek spat back making me smile just slightly.
"Fine" Stile's replied and I rolled my eyes at them because even when he was our age, Derek and Stiles couldn't get along.
"Who's going to talk to him?" Derek said suddenly pointing at Scott's dad who was standing in front of us with a take-out bag in his hand and I jumped startled since he wasn't supposed to be here.
"Ah, are you getting taller?" Stiles asked looking at Agent McCall.
"What are you guys doing here?" he asked us and looking like he was looking for Scott behind us.
"Waiting for Scott" Derek replied before Stiles or I could.
"Yeah so am I, we're supposed to have dinner" Agent McCall replied gesturing to the food bag in his hand. "I brought extra, you kids hungry"
"Yeah" Derek replied again before Stiles or I could say no.
"No, we're not hungry" Stiles quickly argued.
"No I'm starving" Derek protested looking at us.
"None of us are hungry" Stiles argued again. "Thanks though"
"Okay well if you two aren't hungry, your friend can still eat with us, what's your name?"
"Miguel" Stiles replied before Derek could reply this time since the last thing we needed was for Agent McCall to be suspicious since he knew Derek and Derek turned to Stiles with a silent 'what' confused as to why we had to conceal his true identity. "My cousin Miguel, from Mexico…" Agent McCall then said something in Spanish and I smiled when Derek replied fluently.
"Fantastic, egg roll?" McCall asked.
"Hell yeah" Derek replied and they walked towards the dining table and Stiles turned to me.
"Don't look at me, we protest anymore Scott's dad is just gonna get suspicious" he sighed nodding his head so we went over and joined them and I managed a few bites of food but my stomach was flipping with nerves and from my daughter kicking.
"So Miguel what did you say your last name was again?" Agent McCall asked halfway through eating the food and I froze moving my eyes between Derek and McCall anxiously.
"Oh it's Juarez…Cinqua Tiago" Stiles said quickly before Derek could reply and added to our lie.
"That's a mouthful" Agent McCall replied then looked back up at Derek. "How do you spell that?" I frowned because he was suspicious and was trying to poke holes in our story, Derek shrugged looking at Stiles but then his eyes caught something on the table and when I followed his line of sight I cursed under my breathe seeing McCall's FBI badge.
"Mr McCall you're an FBI agent?"
"He's a low level, very low level" Stile's replied quickly. "He doesn't even have a voice"
"So do you investigate murders?" Derek asked McCall completely undeterred by Stiles subtle signs that he should stop.
"Sometimes when it's a federal crime"
"What about fires?" I pretended to cough on some food in hopes that would tell Derek to cut it out.
"Oh my god I wonder where Scott is, shouldn't Scott be here by now we should call Scott" Stile's said with his mouth still full and pulled out his phone.
"What kind of fires are you talking about?" Agent McCall asked Derek.
"Do you know anything about the Hale family?" Derek replied and I closed my eyes because seriously the suspicious look on McCall's face was not good considering he knew Derek and had arrested him.
Agent McCall seemed to pass of his own suspicion then went on to tell Derek everything I'd lied about while Stiles and I could do nothing but sit and let him.
Scott's POV
"Can't someone in this town stay dead!" Peter yelled out slamming his hand against the desk.
"I think they were hoping you would" Malia replied and I looked towards her briefly before looking back at Peter.
"Do you have any idea why Kate would turn Derek back into a teenager again?" I asked getting back to the topic at hand here.
"What color were his eyes?" he asked and I thought about it for a second.
"Blue" I replied not seeing the relevance.
"After Paige" he muttered to himself. "Which could mean around the time he first met Kate"
"Derek and Kate knew each other?" I asked shocked since I never knew that, he turned with a smirk.
"Biblically" he turned completely as I stared in even more shock. "That's right Scott, you weren't the first wolf to climb into a hunters bed and Derek definitely seems to have a type considering our dear Skyler"
Skye's POV
"Derek don't!" I snapped stepping forward in case he lost control and really hurt Stiles. "Okay we didn't lie, we just omitted certain truths"
"Vital truths now that I think about it" Stile's added and Derek let him go.
"I don't want to talk to you I want to talk to the Alpha, I'll talk to Scott" Derek said and looked at him shocked since I was hurt because he'd rather talk to Scott than me when Derek used to trust me over Scott.
"Okay, I'm going to go get him" Stiles replied opening the door. "My phones downstairs going to call him real quick, you stay here just don't move okay, don't move" Stiles walked out but then spastically jumped into sight again. "Don't…I thought you" I rolled my eyes as he went downstairs leaving me alone with Derek.
"Who are you?" Derek suddenly asked confusing me as I looked back up at him. "And why do you smell like me?" I frowned because I hadn't thought of that, no wonder he's been giving me odd looks since the police station.
"I'm…nobody" I said with a deep sigh.
"Do we…do we know each other?" he asked clearly not about to let this go.
"Yeah you could say that" I finally muttered hoping he'd leave it at that.
"How…are we…" he trailed off and his eyes scanned down to my stomach. "Are we together or something?"
"Look we shouldn't…it's best you don't know everything which is why we didn't tell you about you family, we…I only lied to save you any pain but I know now that it was wrong to hide that from you, I'm sorry" I apologized but then backed up when he stepped towards me.
"Am I…I mean have we…" he trailed off again and pointed at my stomach.
"No!" I protested too loud and he frowned. "I mean…oh god I can't" I turned and rushed out of the room and down the stairs seeing Stiles on the phone.
"What are you doing, you're supposed to be watching Derek" I shook my head crossing my arms over my chest.
"I can't…he keeps asking me questions and I can't…I can't look at him" I was getting worked up so he walked over and touched my arm calming me down a little.
"It's okay" he replied and I nodded just before he turned to his phone pressed to his ear. "Yeah Scott?"
Derek's POV
I stared after the girl…Skye I think the Alpha said her name was as she left because I sensed something different about her and she seemed to be in pain every time she looked at me so I guessed she knew me and we'd been close but I didn't remember her at all and had a feeling we…that she was pregnant with my…it was mine since she kind of smelt like me, I sighed then sat down on the bed just as the door in front of me started creaking open and I watched as…Kate walked out.
"Kate" I asked confused she looked…different.
"Hey handsome" she replied walking towards me. "Been a long time" she smiled. "Longer then you think" I was confused but then I remembered the Alpha telling me I've lost memory. "I could really use your help, come with me" she nodded towards the window, I looked towards the door thinking about Skye but then nodded and followed her out the window.
Skye's POV
He finally got through to Scott and he told us what Peter told him about Kate and why she would've done this to him, she took him back to the age when they we're together and he trusted her so we started walking upstairs.
"No he's in your bedroom, he'll be totally fine and to be honest I'm starting to miss the old Derek" I smiled at Stiles' words. "So if you actually think that Kate's coming to find him…" we walked in just as we saw Kate leaving out the window but she looked back at us and smiled before jumping down out of sight. "You might be right" Stiles added dropping the phone from his ear.
"No!" I protested about to run down the stairs but Stiles caught my arm. "What are you doing let me go, I have to go after him"
"And do what, your pregnant Skye so what are you gonna do huh?" he asked and I frowned hating his logic but he was right, what could I do against Kate, sure I had guns but she had speed, strength and without Derek on my side I really was a nobody.
"We have to get him back, I…I need him" I cried and he pulled me against him. "Damn emotions" I muttered hearing him chuckle as he rubbed my back.
"Don't worry you still scare the crap out of me most days" I laughed leaning back and wiped my eyes free of tears just as his phone buzzed with a text. "They're headed to the high school" I rolled my eyes since it always seemed to be the high school but I followed him out to the jeep.
We jumped in and he drove to quickly pick up Lydia and Kira but as soon as we parked we heard a distant howl that we all knew was Scott and Kira took off leaving us to run after her as Stiles paused grabbing his baseball bat and I rolled my eyes.
"You seriously need to find something better than a baseball bat" I protested then grabbed out my Glock. "Except a gun" I added when he turned expecting me to give to him then ran toward but with my weight I had to stop a few times especially up the stairs but finally reached Scott, Malia and Kira and my eyes widened seeing two berserkers and frowned since the gun was useless but then Derek came out of nowhere and started fighting them. "Derek!" I protested ready to stop him but Scott stood and wrapped his arms around my waist stopping me. "Let me go!"
"I can't" Scott argued as I tried fighting with him but stopped as something started to happen to Derek, he was turning back to his old self every time one of the berserkers hit him.
He went into a backflip kicking the berserkers but it didn't do anything to thwart them but then we heard a distant howl that wasn't any one of us so it must have been Kate calling them off and the berserkers ran off so we all stood up and looked at Derek's back but I found myself itching forward.
"Derek?" I asked taking more cautious steps towards him as he turned towards us then looked up and his eyes glowed gold making my eyes widen before they faded and his eyes fell to me.
"Skye" I smiled despite the shock over why his eyes were different and ran towards him throwing my arms around his shoulders as his wrapped as far around my waist as he could get them and held me as I nuzzled my head against him.
"Oh my god, I thought you were dead" I cried letting out every bit of fear and emotion I'd kept buried the last three months come rushing to the surface. "You were gone for three months"
"Shh I'm here, I'm here" he soothed smoothing down my hair as I clung to his neck and he dropped my feet back to the ground then looked down and took in the size of my baby bump. "Wow" I smiled looking down at it.
"It's huge, you can say it" he smiled shaking his head then leaned down pressing his forehead to mine. "I thought I'd never see you again, that I'd never be able to tell you that I loved you" he shook his head.
"I'm sorry" I frowned putting my arms around his waist and hugged him as much as my bump would allow as everyone started leaving relived that Derek was okay but Derek and I just stood here holding each other reveling in the fact that he was back and he remembered but I knew our troubles we're far from over. "We should…let's go home" I nodded stepping back but grabbed his hand since I wasn't quite ready to let go of him yet.
"Oh crap Stiles drove me here" I realised then grabbed my phone and rang Jake hoping he was still hanging around.
"Hey Skye, everything okay?" he asked and I smiled looking back at Derek.
"Yeah everything's okay but uh can you come pick us up, were at the high school and when you get here I'll explain"
"Vague but okay, be there in twenty" he replied then hung up so Derek and I took a seat on a nearby bench and I noticed him staring down at my stomach.
"You can touch it you know, it's your baby too" he nodded but didn't move so I grabbed his hand and moved it to my bump waiting for the inevitable kick and smiled when he let out a soft gasp when she delivered a kick right underneath his hand.
"She's kicking?!" he asked and I nodded my head.
"Happened for the first time two months ago, at first it was soft like flutters but then quickly became full on kicks and punches, definitely inherited some of that Hale strength since some of them hurt" I replied and saw him frown as he looked down.
"I…I missed it" I looked up touching my hand to his cheek.
"You didn't miss it, it was taken from you" I replied and he looked up meeting my eyes. "I've never been more scared than in the last three months, I thought I'd never see you again, that I'd have to raise our daughter alone without her father there to guide her" I felt the tears start up again.
"I never…I tried to fight back but-"
"Hey it's okay I don't blame you Derek, I couldn't never blame you, I blame Kate and she's going to pay for taking you" he sighed leaning in and captured my lips and I sighed in almost relief as I moved my lips against his relishing in the feel of them against mine again after so long. "Mm I definitely missed that" he smiled pulling me in again before his hands feel back to my stomach waiting for another kick and Talia didn't disappoint.
"She really is active" I nodded pressing my hand next to him.
"I think she knows her dad is finally back since she can hear your voice, I also swear she knew it was you even when you were younger you" I replied and he smiled but I was quietly wondering to myself how much he remembered of that but didn't ask because I didn't want to ruin the moment.
"I can't believe I almost missed it" he deadpanned quietly so I squeezed his hand.
"I wasn't giving up on you and I wasn't going to let you miss the birth of our baby girl" I replied just as a car pulled up in front of us and I watched Jake get out walking towards us and his eyes widened seeing Derek all grown up again.
"Derek?"
"Hey Jacob" Derek nodded holding out his hand for Jake to shake.
"Nice to see your you again mate" I laughed leaning my head against Derek's chest as he held me against him. "We should get you home Skye, you need to sleep" I nodded letting Derek help me over to the Toyota.
We sat in the back while Jake drove and as soon as the car started down the main road I looked up and saw Derek was fast asleep making me smile since I thought he'd be tired since it had been a hell of a night.
"So how you do it?" Jake asked speaking up.
"We didn't actually, we were battling Kate and these two berserkers-"
"Wait you took on berserkers and you didn't call me earlier"
"Didn't have time now can I finish" I argued and saw him roll his eyes in the rearview mirror. "I wasn't fighting them since before I could even think of something to help Scott and the others Derek came out of nowhere, still a teenager and started fighting them all on his own and somehow he started turning back to his old self"
"So what did she even want with him, why turn him back into a teenager?" he asked and I looked over at Derek since I knew he doesn't like anyone really knowing about his pass with Kate.
"It's complicated and personal" he looked back at me with a hard stare. "Jake it's not my story to tell so I can't-"
"She wanted the triskelion" Derek spoke up making me jump since I didn't know he was awake. "It's an old talisman that's been in my family for generation, she knew I'd help her if I was a teenager since we knew each other back then and had a relationship of sorts" Derek admitted and I was surprised to say the least.
"You definitely have a type then" Jake laughed but I glared at him.
"Ouch Jacob" he laughed and Derek joined in pulling me tighter against his side so I couldn't help the small smile since this moment felt perfect, I was surrounded by my family.
A/N: Please review and let me know what you think so far.
