This has been sitting in my hard drive for, I'd say, maybe, about three days now. I just finished working out the kinks and well, the rest is history.

Warning: You guys will probably hate me

That is all.

Summary: It's a big day and emotions run high

Derek growled as he paced the waiting room hallways. His wolf was restless, his pack was restless, he was restless. This was not good. Emerson was on edge, Casey was on edge, hell, Kylie who was a little over one was on edge. Definitely not good. "Derek," John called out softly, "Son, sit down."

Derek shook his head, "Can't, can't sit, won't sit, need to be with Stiles," he answered as he paused his frantic pace.

"I have to be in there," Derek breathed, hand twitching at his side.

"Derek," John sighed as he stood up, "the doctors need to do their jobs."

"How are you not freaking out!" Derek growled, "Stiles is in there! His heart rate is dropping, he's lost a lot of blood!"

"Derek, Derek," John whispered as he brought the Alpha wolf into a hug, "I am freaking out, of course I'm freaking out, he's my son."

Derek whined as he gripped John tight, "I can't lose him."

"You won't," John whispered.

"And my son," Derek whined.

"I know Derek."

Derek took in a sharp breath and let out a low whine, "I, I don't get it, I don't' get why there were complications this time."

"They'll both pull through," John assured the Alpha Wolf, "I know my son," he breathed.

Derek nodded and allowed John to pull him to one of the chairs. Emerson smiled softly at his dad as he clambered onto his lap. "Don't be sad daddy," he whispered as he hugged the elder tightly.

"Sorry buddy," Derek whispered.

"You need to calm down," Scott breathed as he patted the Alpha wolf on the back, "because literally Derek, you've got my wolf on edge right now."

"I know, I'm sorry it's just-"

There was a sudden shift in the air and Derek was standing up gripping Emerson tight. The Alpha's eyes flashed red. The others were now standing up as well, "Stiles," Derek yelled as he threw Emerson into John's arms.

"Derek whoa!" Scott yelled as reached forward grasping the Alpha and holding him back, "Derek, you can't go in there."

A growl reverberated through the Alpha's chest, "Have to," he ground out, "let go Scott, let go!"

Jackson was now standing up, "Derek," he breathed, "man, calm down, calm down."

"No," Derek whined as he struggled against Scott's grasp, "have to, have to go to him."

"I know, but dude, you need to calm down, you can't wolf out in here," Jackson breathed.

Derek squirmed again, "Derek," Danny soothed, "you have to calm down."

"Stiles," Derek whimpered as legs gave out from under him and there was a flurry of movement as the Betas helped their Alpha into the chair.

"Hey," Scott said, voice firm, "I know words cannot explain what you're going through right now, it hurts, and Stiles is my best friend, but you have to stop focusing on what's going on that room."

"I'm not!" Derek ground out, "I don't need too and I'm- - it's my wolf damn it," he growled, "he's restless, and Scott it hurts."

"What does?"

"My chest," Derek whined, "I can, I can feel his pain almost."

Scott sighed, "Dude I know."

"No you don't!" Derek yelled, "You don't know!"

The Beta Wolf flinched, "Sorry," he whispered.

Derek sighed, "No, sorry, it's just..."

Emerson whimpered as he reached for his dad, "Daddy," he whispered, "daddy you okay?"

"Yeah buddy," Derek sighed as he reached over and took his son.

"When, when can I see Papa?" the little boy asked softly.

Derek let out a low whine as he hugged his son tight, "Soon, soon okay."

Emerson nodded as he cuddled against his dad's chest, "Good."

The Alpha wolf exhaled loudly as he willed his body to relax. Slowly, very slowly he felt some of his anxiety slip away as he listened to his son's even breathing and steady heartbeat. The Pack was right, he needed to calm down, he had to, if he didn't his pack mates too would be buzzing with the energy and that was not good.

Lydia looked down at her son, "Hey Casey man," she whispered softly, "why don't you go sit with Uncle Derek?"

Casey nodded as he padded over towards the Alpha wolf. He tapped the Alpha's thigh and made quick work of climbing onto the elder's lap settling himself next to Emerson. Derek smiled down at the pup as he held him tight. "Please be okay Sty," Derek whispered.

Several minutes passed and the pack found themselves all looking up when they heard the family footsteps of Scott's mom approaching them. Melissa McCall padded down the hallway, "Hey guys," she called out softly.

Derek's eyes flashed up, his body tensed, "Is he okay?" he asked, voice shaking a bit.

"Stiles, he's stable," Melissa said softly, "we got him hooked up to an IV and he's breathing on his own."

Derek nodded. "He'll be okay?"

"He should be okay."

Scott tensed, "Mom," he whispered, "please?"

"At this point, it really, it's hard to tell, he just needs a lot of rest."

Derek's body shook with fear, "I don't like that answer," he whispered.

"It took a lot out of him Derek," Melissa explained, "but this is Stiles, he's a fighter, but if you want my professional opinion, all I can tell you is, right now is that he's fine and that, he needs lots of rest and if we play our cards right, he'll pull through."

"My son?"

"I think you better come with me," Melissa sighed.

Derek took in a sharp breath, "I, I think it's best if you tell me here."

"He's in the NICU Derek," Melissa whispered softly.

Allison and Lydia let out a silent gasp. Scott tensed, his hold on his daughter tightened. Danny was standing up and walking away from the group. Jackson head dropped into his hands, body shaking. "What's wrong," John spoke, voice shaking.

"Respiratory infection."

"Derek, Derek," John yelled as the Alpha wolf let out an anguish sob, his body shaking.

There was a flurry of movement, Scott was handing Kylie over to Allison. Jackson was taking Emerson and Casey from Derek and handing both of them over to his mate. Danny was knelling in front of Derek trying to calm the Alpha wolf down. "Mom," Scott breathed, "room, do you got an empty room?"

"Is he?"

"I think, I think he might wolf out," Scott rushed out.

A growl reverberated from Derek's chest, his eyes flashing red. Mellissa nodded she motioned them to follow her to one of the empty hospital rooms. Jackson slammed the door shut the minute they were in the room. "Derek!" Scott barked.

The Alpha wolf growled as he knelt down on the ground, his body shaking as he took in deep breaths. "Guys," Danny breathed.

Derek's body rippled with energy. "Fuck!" he roared.

Scott felt his eyes flashing, his wolf clawing at the surface, "Derek," he growled.

Jackson too felt the same ripping sensation curse through his body. And Danny was now forming a fist as he felt his wolf growl as well. Derek slammed a fist onto the tile, his breathing harsh as he willed his wolf counterpart away.

There was a knock on the door, "Guys," John said, "let me in."

"Not a good time Sheriff," Scott answered.

"Too bad," John growled as he opened the door and slipped inside.

"Mr. Stlilin-"

"OUT!" Derek roared when his pack mates ignored the Sheriff.

Scott, Danny and Jackson nodded as they scrambled out of the room. John approached his son-in-law. "Derek, son," he said softly.

The Alpha wolf looked up at the Sheriff, his eyes a piercing red, "Derek," John whispered soothingly.

Derek whined as he dropped his head back down, forehead resting on the tiled floor, "I can't," he whispered, "I can't lose them."

"You won't," John whispered, "Derek look at me."

Derek shook his head, "Derek, son," John tried again, "look at me."

"Kay," Derek whispered as he looked up.

"You need to calm yourself okay, regain composure, so you can go see your son and your mate, okay."

"Sorry."

John reached up and placed a hand on Derek's shoulder, "Don't apologize, I'm not a werewolf and I'm still trying to grasp the whole thing, I mean I get it, but I'm sure the feelings are different, I'm sure it hurts a lot more, because Stiles is your mate and that's your son, and they're pack."

Derek nodded.

"So it's understandable for you to lose your compusre, but Derek, right now I need to you to regain that back, your pack needs you too, Stiles needs you too."

"Okay."

"Alright," John breathed as he stood up, "let's go then yeah?"

"Yeah."

John smiled softly as he reached towards the door. His hand reached the handle but was stopped short because Derek was reaching over and pulling the sheriff into a hug, "Thanks dad."

"You're welcome son," John whispered as he hugged the Alpha wolf back, "oh and Derek."

"Yeah?"

"If need be, I want you to give Stiles the bite."

Derek's eyes widened as he pulled back from their embrace, "What?" he choked out.

"If you need too," the Sheriff exhaled loudly, "I'm giving you permission to give Stiles the bite, I know I said, no, but you know, if you have too, give him the bite, I'm all for it."

"Yeah, okay."

"Good, now go on, Melissa said she'd take you to see your son."

"Then Stiles?" Derek asked as they exited the room

"Yes, then you'll be able to see Stiles."

"Okay."

"Then we'll be able to take both of them home okay."

Derek nodded. "Okay Derek?" the Sheriff said, voice firm.

"Yeah, okay."

Thoughts? Yes? No? Leave a review?

I'm working on Part 2. I promise!
