Chapter 17-Grace Evelyn
Scott and Isaac on a whim go to the Lupus orphanage where they meet a very special seven year old.
It was hard to believe another year had gone by. It was nearing the end of November when one night Isaac and Scott were woken up by something poking Isaac in the side.
"Madeleine?" Isaac asked in his 'stern dad' voice that he had only used once when Maddie thought it was funny to throw a rock and hit Isaac's car by mistake.
"Daddy" she whispered her eyes wide and contrite and Isaac winced untangling himself from Scott who woke in the process. "What is it Maddie?" Scott asked leaning over Isaac so they were both staring down at their daughter.
At nearly five Maddie had straight blonde hair that fell to the tops of her shoulder blades and big blue eyes. In fact she could pass easily for Isaac's biological daughter.
There was a pause where she took a deep breath before saying in a rush "There's only 35 days, 7 hours and 13 minutes till Christmas!" Isaac let out a loud groan his head falling back onto his pillows.
"I'm gonna claw Stiles damn throat out for buying that damn clock"
That damn clock was an invention that counted down the seconds until Christmas. The kids had been fascinated by it with Jade and Ryder now nearly ten leading the charge to sit in front of the clock every day counting down the seconds. Stiles thought the clock was cute. Isaac thought it was an invention of the devil.
"Baby-girl don't worry" Scott cooed "You have plenty enough time for Christmas"
Maddie shook her head her little face crumpling "But what if Santa forgets about me?" she asked her blue eyes wide and Isaac felt his heart melt. Damn his lack of resolve.
"Of course Santa won't forget you" he said gently tugging Maddie's chin "Why would Santa forget you? Go back to bed and I promise you everything will be ok"
"Mads" Scott said as an afterthought stopping her at the door "Just out of interest what do you want from Father Christmas?"
Maddie smiled brightly "A big sister" she said sweetly causing Isaac to choke slightly and Scott's eyes to widen.
Once the door had shut Isaac turned to face Scott his eyes wide "Where the hell did that come from?" he asked and Scott shrugged settling back down in his bed "Who knows?" he paused before leaning his head on Isaac's shoulder "Still…" he said softly
"Still what?" Isaac asked with a sinking feeling he knew where this was going. Scott sat up "Would it be a bad thing to have another child?" he asked carefully and Isaac stared before looking down to the thick silver band on a chain that was his engagement ring.
"No" he said truthfully "But I was kinda hoping to be married before hey" he asked deciding to be truthful "Why aren't we gonna get married soon? Why do you keep putting it off?" he paused as something awful sprang to his mind. "You still do want to marry me don't you?"
Scott barely gave him time to finish before he launched himself at Isaac and proceeded to show him vocally and physically why he did love him and certainly want to marry him that when he was finished they were both so wreaked that neither of them could remember any of the conversation that they had been having before.
It was still all Maddie's fault-well not really-it was mostly Scott's fault but Isaac had to give Maddie her credit. The two of them were wrapped up warm on the sofa watching a movie and Maddie had half fallen asleep in the blanket Scott had wrapped around her.
And suddenly Isaac really wanted another child.
Which is how they were in the lobby of the Lupus Orphanage with a thrilled, hyperactive Scott and a sheepish Isaac trying to cover up the evidence of Scott's mouth on his neck as his overenthusiastic Alpha way of saying thank you-not that Isaac was really complaining.
It was Maria who served them-the same young woman who had been with Danny and Isaac nearly four years ago, she was still the same bubbly, woman that had helped them and she was more than happy to help the 'True Alpha' and his mate.
The kids were eating when they walked in and it was such a usual sight that there was little acknowledgement to the sight of the two of them.
"So what do we do?" Isaac asked linking his fingers with Scott and leaning back against the wall and Scott smiled kissing his hand softly and ignoring the melting sensation that shivered down Isaac's spine whenever Scott kissed him all slow and soft and pure.
Isaac nodded trying to control his nerves when something caught his eye. It was a small child a girl sat away from everyone else. She had abandoned her dinner to focus on the book she was reading avidly and she was dressed most strangely.
She was wearing what looked like a black robe with dark red on the inside and a pair of black glasses which were clearly there for decoration considering they were Harry Potter size glasses and her straight brown hair was pulled back into a low ponytail.
Isaac found himself moving before he noticed it himself. "Hey" he said sitting down in front of her "What's your name?" there was a moment where the girl looked up from her book to flash them a quick glance "Grace" she said shortly before ducking her head down.
"Good to meet you Grace" Isaac said his voice soft "I'm Isaac and this is my partner Scott" he paused "How old are you Grace?" he added.
"Seven" Grace said without looking up from her book and Isaac grinned when he got a glimpse of the title "You like Harry Potter" he said and Grace grinned her face transforming "That's great" Scott said beaming "I love Harry Potter I read it to our daughter all the time"
"Then why are you here?" she asked flatly the smile wiping off her face and Isaac grinned "Because we were looking for someone but" and here he turned to smile at Scott "I think we found who we were looking for"
It had taken time there was no denying that. Grace and Maddie had been shy around each other but had bonded on a mutual appreciation for the Harry Potter films. "You know" Isaac said one day watching the two girls play with the toy wands Stiles had bought them "Her mom and dad were both killed by hunters when Grace was one" he paused his eyes flitting over the house that had once been raised to the ground, that had once been nothing and was now filled with his family.
There was a pause as Scott gripped his arm tightly pulling him into an embrace "I promise you Isaac I will let nothing happen to ours" Isaac leaned back on Scott's shoulder and nodded-it was easier to believe it rather than worry.
It was one day a few months after Grace's adoption when Isaac had to bundle a shell-shocked Scott into the car and drive home from his moms. They had been travelling to see Melissa and Grace who had slowly been warming up to her grandmother was looking forward to it.
And then the thing had happened.
Isaac had come in first only to see a shoe on the floor followed by a woman's blouse and then what looked like a pair of pants bearing a horrifying resemblance to the pants worn by the Beacon Hills Police Department.
And he just knew what he was going to find.
Or what Scott found when he kicked open his mother's door to find her and the Sherriff unashamedly in 'cahoots'. Or that's what Scott called it when Isaac got him home and poured him a stiff shot or two of the expensive Russian Vodka Derek got of Cora for Christmas last year (she was now located in Russia) that he pretended he didn't own.
Stiles had turned white when he found out but without the visual proof he had shrugged it off however Scott was still claiming that there was 'a mortal and unending mental scar eternally branded into his mind'. Isaac had dutifully nodded and let Scott rant his full in peace.
But the real surprise came two months later.
"Scott what the hell are you doing?" Isaac said when he woke up one morning to find himself blindfolded and fully dressed in the car. He had only taken a nap in the afternoon-school having shut for half a day and half an hour later he was in his work clothes (blue jeans, white shirt and classic converse) blindfolded in his car with his fiancé giggling like a maniac.
"Come on" Scott said pulling him out of the car and up some steps "I need to show you something"
Isaac blinked at the sunlight that was in his eyes suddenly before they widened. They were in a room that was lit with hundreds and candles there flames flickering. Behind Scott was Maddie and Grace both dressed in small white summer dresses their hair done up in two French plats (Maddie) and two braids on the top of her head (Grace) they were in a small church Isaac realised and they were alone. Just the four of them and the minister.
"What the hell?" Isaac asked but Scott only smiled in response that same goofy smile that Isaac had fallen in love with years ago.
"Isaac Lahey" Scott began dramatically "All those years ago I fell in love with you when you were still the scared wolf and I was a confused mess and I never thought that someone as beautiful and perfect as you would want me but you do and now we have two beautiful daughters" he paused and Isaac gaped his eyes filling with tears as Scott slowly got on one knee.
"Isaac Lahey" he said again "I have loved you since the moment that I laid eyes on you and I will love you till the end of our lives. I want nothing more to do than wake up next to you for the rest of our lives and when I die I want nothing more than for it to be in our bed in your arms, so Isaac" Scott said his voice breaking up but still smiling brightly "Will you do me the honour and privilege of becoming my husband?"
Isaac blinking wiping down the tears that were falling down his face in quick succession "Yeah" he said his voice nothing more than a quiet whisper "Yeah I will"
Scott let out a cheer before swinging Isaac up in his arms for a brief minute both of them lost with the idea of each other.
"I love you" Isaac whispered and Scott in response pressed a kiss into his hair. That was all they got before Grace and Maddie were on them shrieking their delight. Scott beamed at the smile on Isaac's face shepherding the girls forward to where the priest was stood smiling.
And right now with their family scampering up the aisle with smiles on their face and Scott's arm around Isaac placing small kisses in the crook of Isaac's neck and smiled wondering how the hell he got so damn lucky.
I will update as soon as-and I look forward to reading any reviews x
