Hi an update finally! I apologise for this as my charger broke and it's therefore difficult to use a computer however I am back to updating regularly from next week.
So this is little Lahey-McCall baby! I know this is a little bit cheesy but I have never written Scott/Isaac before so let me know what you all think

Chapter 10-Madeleine Amber
When one of Isaac's pupils ask him a huge favour and he and Scott are therefore forced to review their relationship and their views on both of their fathers.
For the first time in Isaac's life things were going well. Better than well really, for the first time in Isaac's life things were going brilliant.
And that should have been the warning sign.
He had his mate, he had his Scott. He woke up in a warm bed curled around Scott who was always there with a smile, a kiss and a tea whenever he thought Isaac needed it. Scott was always there when he needed him and Isaac couldn't even remember a time when he didn't wake up in the morning cuddled next to his beautiful mate.
It was one of those mornings a blustery day in early December when the events of Scott and Isaac's rather comfortable lives were promptly ripped apart. The day started out fairly ordinary. Isaac had woken earlier than Scott and had taken a great amount of time kissing the electrocution marks branding his mate's skin. They weren't as bad as Lydia's but the sight of them-of where people had hurt his Scott and forced him to watch made him feel sick and had his wolf whimpering in a bizarre mixture of pain and rage.
One of his qualifications as a teacher was a year as an assistant and Kira's father had been more than happy to offer him a position as his assistant. So it was therefore the History classroom that Isaac went to in the morning, preferring the quiet of the classroom to the bustle of the Teachers Lounge.
It's there that he runs into Cameron Riley clutching her now nearly eight month pregnant stomach. Cameron Riley Isaac learned was your typical rich-kid but with parents that rivalled Isaac's. Cameron's father had died in a car accident the year before and therefore her mother (an alcoholic chain smoker) had turned to more drink leaving her fifteen year old daughter heavily pregnant with an unnamed man's baby.
Cameron as of now was in protective custody and Isaac was surprised she was still here. If the gossip from Melissa was true then she was supposed to move to Dallas with her aunt in the upcoming weeks.
"Hey Cameron" he said when he came in smiling to put the curly blonde at ease "You feeling Ok?" Cameron nodded her face breaking into a smile. "Hey Mr Lahey" she said her eyes wide with something akin to glee. "I need to ask you something" she paused "Well something quite personal" Isaac nodded brushing his hands against his jeans.
"I overheard Mr Hayes the other day in the hospital when I went for a check-up and he mentioned over the phone-I don't think he realised that he was listening-that you and your partner were interested in adopting."
Isaac blinked unsure of what to say. God he was going to kill Garrett. In truth it was something he and Scott had only briefly discussed the night they had first got together. They had both wanted kids but at the moment they were both happy with babysitting their many nieces and nephews.
He thought-shit maybe Scott wanted kids.
He coughed catching Cameron's eye, she smiled "Don't worry Sir" she said her smile wide "I can wait a little bit longer"
"And she just asked you?" Scott asked aghast over their dinner of lasagne that night. They were both still living at the Hale house but with most of the Pack still living separate lives there was easily enough time to be alone. Last he had checked, Brett and Liam were upstairs eating their lasagne in their bed (Isaac thought that very unhygienic) Lydia and Jackson were out to see Melissa about Lydia's burn marks. And Stiles, Derek, Kira and Sean were out with their respective parents with their respective children.
"Yep" he said grimly taking a bite, "Asked me flat out if we'd adopt her baby in a month"
Scott whistled "Wow" Isaac laughed bitterly "I know" he said smirking "I'll go back to her tomorrow and tell her to find someone else"
Scott dropped his fork with a clang, when Isaac looked at him he smiled bitterly looking down at his food. "I thought you wanted kids" he muttered and Isaac blinked "I don't know" he said carefully "I don't think I'd know how, and anyway would you? It's not like either of us have great role models for fathers"
Scott stopped twirling his fork his face shutting down completely "Yeah" he snapped standing up "I'm gonna go check the perimeters of the house" and with that he left leaving a confused and crushed Isaac in the kitchen.
"He hates me" Isaac bemoaned not two weeks later face down in the bed he had once shared with Scott. Allison rolled her eyes looking across at Stiles who shrugged. Melissa had popped by as well and she and the Sheriff were watching with a small degree of amusement. "He doesn't hate you" Melissa said gently moving to sit at the foot of the bed "He's just upset"
That much at least was true, ever since there confrontation Scott hadn't been sleeping in the same bed as Isaac and last night had decided to go to his mother's leaving Isaac to sleep alone for the first time since they had gotten together. The bed Isaac thought melancholically was beginning to lose Scott's fresh almost like linen scent.
There was a pause before Melissa let out another long suffering sigh. "Be honest with him Isaac, like you were the night that the both of you got together. Come on" she pulled Isaac's leg making the younger werewolf pout "I'll drive you"
When Isaac arrived it was to sort of hunch at the front door when Scott staggered down. Isaac stared at him hungrily devouring the sight of him after nearly two weeks of feeling like his heart had been trampled over. Scott looked like Isaac felt. His hair was rumpled and he was wearing a t-shirt and sweats looking tired and exhausted. "Good" Melissa said dragging the two of them into the living room "I will be back in two hours, work this shit out" and with that she left increasing the awkwardness to a new level.
"I missed you" Isaac whimpered when Scott didn't say anything "Please don't leave" he said feeling utterly pathetic. Scott sighed leaning forwards in a moment of weakness to lean his head against Isaac's shoulder and Isaac decided to throw caution to the wind and nuzzled his head against Scott's hair breathing in the scent of Scott's hair as fresh as the rest of him.
"I missed you too" he muttered back leaning his head in Isaac's lap his eyes fluttering. Isaac smiled his eyes closing to-he could die happy right at this moment he mused.
"I want kids with you" Scott said his eyes closed and Isaac tensed unable to control himself "I know" he murmured "I want that too" he paused before deciding to throw caution to the wind "I don't want to be my dad" he whispered, almost ashamed to speak the words out loud "I know" Scott whispered back, "I don't want to be mine either" they sat there in silence for some time before pushing himself up on his elbow Scott grinned "I don't think we will be" he said smiling brightly "I think" he trailed a hand around Isaac's knee "That we might be so in love with each other that we can do anything"
Isaac laughed at Scott's reason and pulled him closer.
And when Melissa came in two hours later the both of them were cuddled up on the sofa fast asleep.
Isaac hadn't said anything to Cameron about anything-had even taken the next couple of days off just to avoid her, he had humoured Scott and decided to paint one of the adjoining rooms (back when the two of them used to have their own) in a nice cream colour and filled it with baby things.
Maybe it was time for them to put the past behind them and look to the future.
Up until one night in December (Christmas Eve) in fact. Most of the pack had disappeared (again, Isaac didn't think that any of them ever bothered to be at home) and he and Scott were curled up together on the sofa watching re-runs of old British comedies like Blackadder and Dad's Army when the doorbell rang.
Isaac pouted but let Scott go get it. There was a pause before he came back in carrying what looked like a little wicker basket.
"Isaac" he whispered and peering down Isaac gaped as a small sleeping baby looked up at him, a tuft of blonde hair sticking out of her unicorn sleeping suit.
Gently he unpinned the small note attached to it and sighed when he saw the familiar looping scrawl of Cameron Riley's handwriting.
Dear Mr Lahey and Mr Lahey's-partner (it read)
I know you never gave me a clear answer and I'm sorry for this but I gave birth and as I expected I felt nothing. I know that's not right but it's true.
So I'm going. My Aunt is letting me go to Dallas and then I think I'm going to go live in England or something like that.
And I need you to be the parents to this baby that I will never be.
The birth certificate has her name down as Madeline Amber. It was the first names I could think off. All of my parental rights have been forfeited to you.
I don't know what you will make of this decision but I saw something in you Sir that made me know you will be an amazing father. I don't know what will happen I don't know what my daughter will think off me, but let her know that this was the hardest thing I ever had to do; I was never weak when it came to her.
This is the last you will ever hear of me I imagine and I leave in the knowledge that my child has to amazing parents who will love her more than I believe I ever could.
Merry Christmas Sir and thank you
Your's sincerely
Cameron Riley.
Scott whistled under his breath but Isaac couldn't stop the smile on his face. Looking down at the sleeping baby he realised that he had been worrying about nothing. His father had probably never felt like this.
He looked up beaming at Scott's confused and hopeful face. "Merry Christmas Scott" Scott grinned at him kissing the corner of his mouth his eyes wide and shell shocked but still so full of love-and Holy Crap that was all for Isaac. "Merry Christmas Isaac" he whispered back.
And right there and then Isaac knew that he could never have any doubts. This feeling was all too magical.
Hope to update soon!
