Chapter 18-Emery Anastasia
We come to an end as the last member of the pack is born, we started were we began and Peter Hale spends a little moment to reflect on dare he say it, his 'family?'
And then all too soon it came to an end.
It seemed it was only days after Scott and Isaac were getting married Allison found out she was pregnant.
It was literally only days. And at 29 Allison Argent had not been expecting another child. In truth she was happy the way her life was. She and Aidan had decided to put the wedding on hold until at least Blake was off an age to where he would understand that marriage wasn't the most important thing that constituted a happy family and anyway Allison wasn't sure that she could face marriage without a family-her aunt. Her mom. Her grandpa. She thought it was a miracle that she still had her dad on side.
But still the idea of another baby was frightening. Aidan on the other hand couldn't help but be thrilled by the idea. She knew the idea had been floating round his head for a while and she knew that compared to the last time they were more financially accepting-having just bought their own house.
But still Allison liked pre-planning things, pre-planning was good, it helped keep her in control.
"Allison" Aidan said one day when she was only four months gone and the beginning of a bump was showing "Do you wanna get married?" Allison who was in the middle of heating up Blake's spaghetti stared at him "I wouldn't be wearing your ring if I wasn't would I?" she said flatly.
Aidan grinned before sweeping her up bridal style "Well then" he said his nose nuzzling the side of her face. "How about we stick Blake in the car get your father and have a secret wedding"
Allison stared at him. "You want me to get married at nearly five months pregnant in leggings and one of your old shirts?" Aidan nodded "Yeah I do" he sighed "I want to marry you Allison-I I want it to be just and me and our boy and baby"
Allison sighed. In truth she didn't really want the big white wedding anyway. She didn't want the planning, she didn't want the hassle-all she wanted was Aidan.
"Ok" she whispered leaning forwards so she could kiss him softly on his nose "Let's go get married"
The rest of the pregnancy was a dream after that. Well not really a dream, there was the cramps and the throwing up and the constant need to eat Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough followed by deep pan frozen pizza (yes that was following not before) and then there was the constant need to throw Aidan to the bed…Ok maybe that wasn't a bad one-mutually agreed anyway.
However Blake was a concern. It had been nearly six years now since he had been born. Six years since the first member of the Hale Pack had been brought into the world. Blake was generally an easy going kid-he slept through the nights, had never wetted the bed and always did what he was told, but it seemed the idea of a sibling had caused some deep anxiety in him that only seemed to progress as the months went on.
And one day it simply got worse. And by worse Allison meant that Blake had woken them both up due to his loud and heavy crying.
"What is it baby?" Aidan asked as Blake burrowed his way into Aidan's chest. Blake let out a little sob before muttering "Baby" looking at Allison's thickening six month waist as if it had personally offended him.
"What's wrong with baby?" Allison asked as she stroked Blake's hair the exact shade of her own.
"You won't love me anymore once you have the baby" Blake said as if it was obvious and Allison gasped unable to stop her eyes from filling with tears. Damn hormones.
"Of course we will Blakey" Aidan said his face twisted at the thought of this keeping his son up at night. "No matter what happens we will always love you just as much"
Blake stared his brown eyes filled with tears "Promise?" he asked his bottom lip trembling and Aidan nodded shifting his son so that they were eye level. "Of course baby, me and mommy will love you no matter what"
Blake turned his head to stare at Allison who smiled and nodded and he seemed to take that as easily as he had believed they wouldn't love him.
And somehow he ended up sleeping in bed with them that night. And as Aidan looked around awake he realised that he had an amazing family.
The birth was as easy as the pregnancy. One minute Allison was sat with Malia and Erica at the spa the next she was doubled over in pain with water gushing out from under her.
And when Aidan crashed through the double doors three hours later (due to traffic) it was much like the last time. Only this time Allison was able to present him with his baby girl smiling proudly.
She was utterly beautiful with Aidan's complexion-Blake had been an exact replica of his mother. Aidan flashed his eyes to welcome her in the pack just as he had done with Blake-so she could recognise him in the werewolf sense as her father but she just blinked her blue eyes wide.
Aidan let out a long loud laugh, because of course. Of course she was a human, how had he not realised that there was always a possibility that he could have at least one human child what with Allison having no werewolf blood.
"Well that's Ok" Allison said when Aidan told her. "It means she can be a badass hunter" she smiled brightly and Chris Argent grinned from the doorway looking thrilled at the thought that there was another 'leader' in the family.
Well.
"Emery" Allison said her smile wide "It means brave" and Aidan smiled because bravery was a quality needed in the world and damn if his daughter wasn't going to someday become one of the bravest people that would ever live.
It was the time for the Pack's sleepover. They had a habit of throwing all the mismatched families together for once a month on a day other than full moon. It was made easier by the kids doubling up. Emilee and Jade sharing a room, Maddie, Grace and Avery in another, Blake, David and Spencer, Andrew, Ross and Arthur on one floor, Logan, Lucas and Sam one the one below and baby Lia and Emery in the nursery.
Downstairs once the kids were all asleep the pack were drinking, Ross and Emilee were in the kitchen on their phones and laptops drinking the three beers that they had been assigned to the night.
It was then that Peter stalked in. He was still dressed in his jeans and jacket and he paused on the doorway his eyes wide in something akin to shock before he quickly recovered himself.
"You ok?" Malia asked her voice still with the laughing quality that she had from her laughing with Stiles earlier and Peter nodded shooting a look around the room before stomping outside muttering something about the 'kids drinking all the good bourbon'
When he got outside Peter Hale leaned against the door leading outside and took a deep breath. He had survived his sister's betrayal over his daughter, the death of his entire family and six years in a mental hospital trapped in a cycle of unending mental torture.
But there was something about walking in tonight to see the Hale Pack (and God it was the Hale Pack again) laughing and chatting like no time had gone by was like a kick to the balls.
There was a pause, while Peter thought. He had a daughter, a grandson, a nephew and two great nieces. A beta in Scott and the rest of the Pack.
"What the hell is the matter with you?" Derek asked coming outside and it was suddenly like a rash he needed to get rid of because before he killed Laura, before Talia and Daniel died, before Carlie before Rebecca…
Jesus Rebecca-his mate, his beautiful mate, the woman who he had married, the brunette who he had talked about having a family with, and Carlie, Malia's mother who had given her hope in the darkness, who he had loved. Who his sister had ripped away from.
And suddenly he couldn't wait because before all of this shit he had been Derek's uncle. He had been the man that Derek had come to when he was six and had ran away. He was the man that Derek had loved outside his own father. And he was still that little boy with the big brown eyes that Peter had loved as a second son.
He reached out and wrapped Derek in a hug. Derek paused completely threw off by the change of scene. And slowly he felt Derek return the hug. And then Peter knew that Derek understood. He wasn't forgiven but he was getting there.
"Tender Moment Over" Peter said when they pulled apart and Derek nodded turning to go back into the house muttering a faint "Thank God" and damn did he reminded Peter of Daniel.
And now there was a new Hale Pack.
There was Stiles and Derek happily married with their two children Emilee and Jade now sixteen and eleven both werewolf's.
There was Isaac and Scott married with their two daughters Grace and Madeleine now seven and six their eldest a werewolf and their youngest a human.
There was Jackson and Lydia again married with Ross nearing seventeen and Arthur nearing five another werewolf and a suspected banshee.
That Argent girl Allison and her husband Aidan, newly married with a six year old boy Blake and a newborn Emery a werewolf and a human. There was Aidan's twin brother Ethan, his husband the human Danny and their children the eleven year old Ryder and the eight year old Savanna both werewolf's.
There was the she-wolf Erica and her fiancé Boyd and her three sons. The three werewolf's aged six and two.
There was the wendigo and the kitsune Sean and Kira who were engaged still with a rapid plan to get married. Their children were both upstairs, their son a wendigo and their daughter a kitsune a five year old and a newborn.
There was the two humans Garrett and Mason and their daughter Avery who was now six. They were living together with their human daughter with little plans of things changing.
There was that little wolf Liam and his partner and mate Brett and their son werewolf Andrew now ten.
And finally there was Malia and Jordan, who seemed to have no plans to marry (Peter wasn't entirely sure what his feelings were on that) and their son, his grandson Spencer a human who was now six.
There was even the extras of the pack like Melissa, and the Sherriff and Argent and that Doctor who all fit in like the missing puzzle pieces.
They were a pack, they were whole again.
And it took Peter a long time to realise that it wasn't a pack they had built but a family.
And let me know what you thought-This story is now finished so again a big thank you to all x
