Stiles had never felt so damn panicked in all his life. By the time it took his friends to race over he was a nervous wreck, half collapsed on the stairs as a panic attacked seized his body and it took Scott spending a good ten minutes trying to coax him out of it so he was able to speak.

"H-He just-he t-took them" he spluttered, "he t-took my f-family Scott"

"We'll get them back Stiles, I promise"

He felt dizzy and sick, worry churning his gut as he glanced at his friends frenzied faces floating in front of him, "he took t-them because of m-me. What if t-they're hurt? What if h-he... What if he..."

"He won't" Isaac stepped forward, shaking his head reassuringly, "He wouldn't hurt a year old baby, let alone a pregnant girl, believe in that Stiles"

He couldn't help but think Theo would - that guy was capable of anything.

"Y-You don't understand" he spluttered, hands shaking as he pulled himself to his feet, "she's supposed to give b-birth in a hospital" he exclaimed, he and Kayla only finding this out a few days prior, "after-after Claudia she haemorrhaged remember? the d-doctor said it could happen a-again... Guys, she could bleed to death if she has our baby... He took her and she could die"

Panic flared in everyone stares at that, Malia's eyes glowing an angry dark blue, "I'm going to rip Theo's head off"

"Yeah" Stiles said darkly, his stare turning near pitch black, "I'll help"

"Can you please get that brat to shut up?"

Kayla glared heatedly at Tracy, hugging Claudia closer to her chest as she bobbed her up and down, trying to quieten her wails but it wasn't working, she kept crying, screaming non stop for the last two hours.

"Tracy, be nice to our guests" Theo chastised but a smile tugged at his lips, "it's just a baby"

"A baby I would quite happily smother"

"Well what do you expect?" She snapped, protective maternal instinct kicking in, "you tore her away from her home, from her dad - kids are smart, she knows you're not the good guys"

Theo cocked a brow, "sweetheart-"

"Don't call me that" she snapped, cupping the back of Claudia's head and cradling her to her chest, wishing that her baby would settle in her arms because there was nothing worse than listening to your daughters' wails and being able to do nothing, "I am not your sweetheart you ruthless, sick son of a bitch"

"Language, there's children in the room"

She glowered, snapping her mouth shut as she glanced around the tunnels where they were currently locked in, keeping Claudia snuggled into her protectively before lowering herself to the ground and hushing her baby, playing with her hair and Claudia finally settled a little, especially as her chubby little hands felt the baby kick from inside Kayla's bump and a bright watery smile pulled at her lips as she reached down and hugged the bump, pressing childlike kisses to where her brother or sisters little feet were happily kicking her stomach.

She smiled a little at the image, forgetting where they were for a few moments as she stroked Claudia's thick curly hair, rocking her to sleep but began to feel a little uncomfortable as she felt Theo and Tracy's eyes on them.

"If anything happens to us... Stiles will kill you" she warned quietly, "he loves his children. That's obviously something neither of you are capable of understanding but he will stop at nothing to find us. He's a good person, he's a good dad... Why are you punishing him like this?"

Theo frowned, "payback"

"And you would put the life of a one year old baby and an unborn baby at risk to do that?"

His eyes darkened, "you're safe here. I won't harm you, least of all when you're like that" he nodded down to her bump as he walked forward, kneeling down opposite her and she hugged Claudia tighter, her eyes full of warning, "relax Kayla" he said quietly and she just held her breath as he reached out to touch her bump and if she wasn't protecting her two children she would've happily have bit his hand off the slimy bastard.

"Stiles doesn't realise how lucky he is" Theo hummed, "he runs around, not thinking, just doing, stirring up trouble like an immature child when his priorities should be with you"

"They are" she insisted fiercely, "he's a great dad. The best"

"Really?" Theo's lips quirked, Palm still stroking her bump making her want to be sick, "then why is he off working on cases, following up on all these supernatural leads when you're looking after his kid and growing the other one inside you? When was the last time he spent any real time with you?"

It was true but she didn't mind, he was busy, he was out there saving lives, she understood. She got it.

"I... I uh..."

"He probably hasn't even realised you're gone"

And that made her snap.

"He'll know" she vowed, "and he'll find us" reaching down to grab his hand and pull it away from her, "and don't touch me. This baby isn't yours"

"Shame" he smirked, "we could've made some cute kids"

She curled her lip in disgust, "go to hell"

Theo just smirked as he stood up, leaving with Tracy and leaving her alone, heavily pregnant, cradling her one year old daughter and scared for her other one. She just prayed Stiles would find them soon, hopefully before baby number two decided to make an appearance.

"Wow Stiles, didn't know you packed that much of a punch"

"You bastard, give me back my family you-"

"Possessive much?" Theo rolled his eyes as he wiped at his bloody bottom lip and it took Isaac and Scott holding each of his arms to keep his furious body as still as possible, "and chill, they're fine. Fed, watered, hell-I even got Claudia a cute little teddy bear to play with"

"Stay the hell away from my daughter-"

"Relax, I just play with her when your girlfriend's sleeping - figured she could need as much sleep as possible considering she's about ready to pop. There's been a few winces here and there, the odd groan, but her waters haven't broken yet. Your bastard offspring is still all wrapped up cosy"

"You have to let them go" Stiles growled, "she needs to be in a hospital. It's safer. For her and the baby. You don't understand, there was complications last time-"

"Save me the gory details" Theo rolled his eyes, "and no, she's staying with me. Think of this as your karma"

Stiles flinched, guilt eating him up from the inside out.

"Theo... If you want to hurt me then hurt me, do it, whatever you want just... Just please..." He begged, tears swimming in his eyes, "please don't hurt my family"

"Oh, it's your family now is it?" Theo scoffed, "please, you don't care about any of them. If you did you would've been there when I stopped by but nooooo you were at Scott's working on a case, how self absorbed" Theo hummed in disapproval, "you weren't being a dad because if you were there you would've protected them"

That really hit home for Stiles, falling back a step in shock.

"I took your daughter... Your pregnant girlfriend... I took them because I could and no one could stop me. Flawed thinking my friends. She was the weakest link - powerless and maternal, God, if you all had a brain you might've been dangerous"

"Theo please... Please..."

But he cut him off, a smirk pulling at his lips, "when she has this baby, could be tomorrow, could be next week, I don't know-" Theo shrugged, "-it's going to be down to her. I won't help. I won't let anyone help. It'll just be her, all alone, pushing out your baby and whatever complications arise... Too bad" Theo smirked, "I don't care if she's screaming in agony or begging me for help, I'll sit and watch as that little devil spawn tears her apart because you, being a single father, with no life ahead of him, makes me feel good about myself. Then maybe in the future you'll think before messing with people more dangerous than yourself Stiles"

"Theo... Please, please... I'm begging you" he pleaded, tears blurring his vision, "they don't deserve this. They haven't done anything wrong. Please don't put their lives in danger"

"No can do Stiles. Now back off - don't make me ask you again"

But he didn't. He kept looking, kept searching, non stop for the next week until he was so physically exhausted he crashed on his sofa for a few hours and was awakened by the front door opening, scrambling to his feet.

"Dad? Dad did you find anything-" he stopped, words dying in the back of his throat as he saw Theo standing in his hallway, casually holding a squirming Claudia in his grip, her cheeks flushed more than normal, tears drying on her cheeks.

"She has a fever" Theo explained coldly, "Kayla convinced me to take her back to you, said you would know what to do"

He panicked, rushing forward just as his daughter started crying at the sight of seeing him so unsettled, screaming out "daddy" over and over again until she was safely back in his arms, hugged securely into his chest.

"Oh god... Shhhhh baby it's okay, daddy's here now, daddy's got you" he cooed gently, stroking her thick curls and rubbing her back before placing the back of his hand against her forehead, her skin burning with heat, "daddy's here now baby-girl, I won't ever leave you again"

Theo just rolled his eyes as Claudia choked back her cries, peering up at Stiles with those big green eyes of hers that reminded him so much of Kayla it was eerie.

"I-I need to get her to the hospital"

"It's a fever Stiles, don't be so overdramatic"

"Don't tell me what to do with my daughter" he snapped, "she wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for you. So move and I swear to god if I find out even a single hair is out of place I will end you" he pushed Theo out the way, kissing Claudia's heated forehead as he rushed her to the jeep, strapping her up and speeding away, leaving Theo standing on the porch, smirking to himself giddily.

She had persuaded Theo, God knows how, to take Claudia to Stiles, her fever having worried Kayla and it still did leaving her alone, trapped, not knowing if her daughter was okay. It was torture. It was pure hell. And just to make matters worse, her waters had broken.

Here she was, God know where, trapped in some stupid ass tunnels with no one around as her contractions started. This was just fantastic, really, exactly how she pictured bringing her baby into the world - not. She wanted safety, she wanted warmth and comfort, she wanted Stiles next to her, was that so much to ask for?

Apparently so.

She cringed, letting out a low groan of pain and held her bump, shifting a little to try and get comfortable against the cement wall but it did no good. The pain was getting worse, slowly increasing the more hours that went by and she knew it wouldn't be long now.

She didn't want this for her baby... Not her little bundle of joy and warmth. She wanted him safe and here he wasn't safe. What if something went wrong? What if she was unable to deliver him safely? So many worries surged through her brain, making her all the more panicked. She wanted him healthy and happy and here she didn't know if he would be.

"In labour already huh? You still have another two weeks till your due date, must be the stress"

In that moment she forgot she ever hated Theo, forgot it was because of him she was in this position because he was another person, he was the only one that could help her right now.

"Theo... Please..." She gasped, screwing her eyes shut as sweat trailed down her face, "please-ahhh God, ah..." She winded loudly, nails digging into her bump, "I need help Theo"

"Sorry, no can do. You're doing great, just keep doing what you're doing" he added dryly, "women in China just pop the kid out and head straight back to work on the fields with the newborn on their backs"

She hardly heard him over her pained screams she let out, her sweat mixing with tears.

"Theo please... My baby... Oh god..." She cried out, screwing her eyes shut and hunching over, breathing heavily to try and not pass out, "ow, ah... What if something goes wrong?"

"It's your job to make sure that doesn't happen" he shrugged, "what kind of mother are you if you can't even push out your own kid? Come on Kayla, be independent, I believe in you" he was messing with her, watching her curiously and in amusement but she ignored him, a scream bubbling from her throat at the agony that seized her body.

She didn't care about herself, she just wanted her baby to be okay... She wanted that above all else. Claudia was back with Stiles, she was safe and loved and happy, that's all she wanted for this one. For the one she had felt grow, watch his little hands and feet press against her bump, heard his heartbeat countless times. All she wanted was him to enter this world safely, no matter the consequences to her. She was a mother first and always. She would constantly put her children first no matter what.

The contractions weren't far apart now, in fact the pain she was in was pretty much continuous and non stop and normally she could deal with that. She would suck it up, but she felt a panic attack surging through her knowing she had to do this alone - that was the scary and worrying part. That if something went wrong, which it felt like it was now, no one would save her baby. Hers and Stiles' baby.

She cried and screamed and gasped for breath all at once, grabbing at the hem of the long skirt Theo had given her amongst all the other change of clothes but this was the comfiest and nearly ripped it trying to find something to tether herself to but it wasn't working. Everything was bright red painful, she couldn't see, couldn't breathe, and she just knew something was wrong. Call it mothers intuition but she had this awful feeling deep in her gut and that didn't help her panic any.

"No, no, no please please" she begged, wincing as she grabbed at the ground, "baby please be okay, oh god please be okay"

"Kaylz?" She looked up blearily at the familiar voice, through the tears seeing Stiles race towards her, Lydia hot on his heels as he pushed his way through the open metal gate and skidded to his knees beside her, "thank god you're okay-"

"Somethings wrong" she gasped loudly, grabbing desperately at his arms as relief at seeing him, feeling him next to her surged through her tired achey body - Stiles would help save their baby, he would, "Stiles, our baby... Our baby" she screeched breaking out into tears again and Stiles just gulped, reassuringly squeezing her hand before pushing himself backwards and resting his palms on her upraised knees as Lydia kneeled next to her, stroking her back to try and calm her down.

"Everything will be okay Kay, we're here now" she promised and she vaguely heard the sound of fighting in the distance, their pack protecting them from Theo's dangerous advances.

"B-But wait, C-Claudia-" she was near delirious with panic, unable to really grasp a hold of reality as she was drenched in sweat, cheeks flushed red.

"Claud's is fine Kaylz" Stiles hushed her gently, "she's with Melissa and-oh my god"

"What?" She asked, alarmed, squeezing Lydia's hand so tight her skin turned porcelain white, "Stiles, what-"

"I see a head" he announced shakily, palms curling around her knee joints as he gulped loudly, sweat building on her forehead, "Kaylz you need to push-"

"Ahhhhhhh" she didn't even need told, that crippling pain jarring her exhausted and battered body again, trying to hold back her screams.

"No, wait wait wait" Stiles rushed out anxiously, leaning a little closer and turning pale, "there's-theres something around his neck"

Oh god... Her baby was going to die, her baby she wanted nothing more than to hold, to touch, to cuddle-

"The umbilical cord" Lydia shrieked shrilly, "Stiles, I'm going to talk you through this alright?"

She was terrified, glancing between her best friend and boyfriend and they worked together to safely bring her baby into the world and she was feeling useless, tired and pained against a hard cement wall, her vision blackening around the edges.

"Stiles..." She whimpered, fresh tears rushing forward at the thought of her baby being in danger and Stiles echoed her panic, his brown eyes wide and terrified but he nodded reassuringly, determination flashing through his gaze.

"He'll be fine Kaylz, you both will, I'll make sure of it" he vowed, squeezing her bent knee one last time before taking a steady breath, "Lydia, tell me what to do"

"Take two fingers and slide them under the umbilical cord" she instructed as calmly as possible, "not too forcefully incase you damage the cord - have you managed?"

Kayla was watching his expression go from fear to panic to determination, biting his bottom lip as he carefully got a hold of the slippery cord that was currently wrapped around his baby's neck, nodding at Lydia as sweat ran down the sides of his face.

"Got it, I've got it, what now?"

"Lift it up and over the head and make sure it's not tangled anywhere else"

"Okay... Okay..." He muttered shakily, his hands jittery as he tried to do that but his fingers almost slipped, the cord tighter than he was expecting - the cord that was strangling his baby.

"Lydia, it's really tight"

"Then tug a little harder" she instructed, trying to calm Kayla down as she squirmed in panic, "the most important thing is getting it off so she can push"

So he did - using all his panic and willpower to lift the umbilical cord and breathed a sigh of relief as it worked, looking up and nodding at Kayla.

"It's fine Kaylz, he's going to be fine, but you need to push okay? I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere" he promised, reaching down to cup his baby's head, "push on the next contraction baby"

So she did. She pushed until she was screaming in agony, complications from the birth making her bleed and tear but she didn't care. She just wanted her baby safe and sound in her arms, nothing else.

Stiles felt the tears blur forward as he watched it happening, letting out a surprised sound as he guided and caught his baby sturdily in his grip, umbilical still attached and wrapped around his legs.

His legs. Kaylz was right all along.

He chuckled waterly, cradling the little screaming bundle as everything else just kind of faded away. He had a son. They had a son.

"Stiles..." Her voice was weak and tired but full of protective worry, "is... What..."

He glanced up, meeting her bright green stare as he carefully positioned their baby against her chest, watching her look down at him in awe.

"Our son's perfect" he whispered, his heart still feeling like it was thundering against his ribcage, a shocked but happy smile tugging at his lips, "you did it"

She was on the brink of passing out but still reached up to hold her baby closer, cradling him into her chest before peaking up at Stiles, "no Stiles..." She smiled weakly, "We did it"
