Chapter 6: Dinner Time (Finally)

AN: I want to dedicate the Isaac fluffies at the end to Organic Haircoat because it was from their request that I got the idea for it. I hope everyone enjoys this story and as always please review and send me any request or questions. Thank you. Disclaimer still stands

Stiles POV

When we all walked into the dining room Derek sat at one end and I to his right with Isaac to my right. Scott sat to Derek's left with his mother to his left and dad was at the other end of the table.

Once everyone had been seated Derek served himself and then me, after I served my father and then the table was opened for everyone else. Once Derek had begun to eat then everyone else did as well. There was comfortable silence for a while until it was broken by the Sheriff.

"So Isaac I hear you are going to be staying with us for a while. I hope you don't mind sharing a room with Stiles, because Derek's getting the spare room. If you're going to be staying here for a while we can try to clean out the attic or the storage room and set it up as a room for you. Does that sound okay?" the sheriff asked Isaac.

"Y-y-you mean it? I can stay? I get to stay with Mom, and maybe get my own room? I would love to stay with Mom and-and Da—uhm—Derek. As long as you're okay with it Sir." Isaac stumbled through his words and we all heard the slip when he was going to call Derek his Dad. It made me feel all kinds of warm inside knowing Isaac thought of me and Derek as his parents. He needed as much love in his life as he could possibly get, and I intended to make him feel so loved and wanted that he would never question his worth, wontedness, or cry ever again.

"Of course you can stay Isaac. We're family now; were we are you are always welcome. And if you want your own room then we can schedule a weekend to clean out and fix up the attic for you. And Isaac, you can call me Sheriff or John. No more of this "Sir" business, I work for a living." The sheriff said putting Isaac at ease.

"Okay thanks si-Sheriff I would like that." Isaac said as he finished his food.

"Mom do you want me to clean up the kitchen and do the dishes? It's no problem really. I used to do it all the time." Isaac had started to collect everyone's empty plates as he was talking.

"No that's alright Isaac. Scott's going to be doing the dishes and kitchen cleanup for the foreseeable future, and—"I started only to be interrupted by Scott.

"What!? Why do I have to clean Stiles? You know I hate cleaning." Scott whined loudly sounding not unlike a bratty toddler.

"Punishment, remember?" I said.

"But—"Scott started to complain more when Derek ended the argument for him.

"Scott that is enough! You heard Stiles. You've been told that you would have chores and things to do. Now you are not to argue with Stiles—he is the pack mom and second in command. To you he is your other alpha and you are to do what he says. And you are not to try to make Isaac feel guilty or try to get him to help. Now apologize to everyone and get to it." Derek snapped out, clearly irritated by Scott's attitude.

"Yes, alpha. I'm sorry everyone. I'm sorry Stiles. I'll just go start the dishes now." With that Scott stood and went to the kitchen with all the dirty plates in tow.

Throughout all of this Melissa sat back with a bemused sort of smile on her face at how quickly Derek got through to Scott.

After the kitchen and dishes were clean Scott and his mother left and headed home while I went and put sheets on the bed in the guest room for Derek. I went back downstairs and walked into the living room where Isaac was sprawled out asleep against Derek and Dad was getting up and heading to bed.

"Night Dad. Sweet dreams." I said as I hugged my dad and walked to where Derek and Isaac where.

"Can you wake him up?" I asked Derek as I looked down on Isaac.

"No. Let's let him sleep and I'll carry him up to bed. Just go get the door for me." Derek said as he slowly stood up and then gently reached down and lifted him into his arms. I ran ahead of him and opened the door to my room and wen and turned down the blankets, as Derek entered carrying the sleeping Isaac who had curled into Derek and fisted his hands in his t-shirt.

Derek leaned down and laid Isaac under the blankets and pried his hand off before pulling off his shoes, socks, and jeans, and then covering him up and tucking him in. He pressed a kiss to Isaac's forehead and turned to head to his room for the night as I followed him out.

"So I'm assuming you heard what Isaac almost called you tonight? I think it's cute and just what he needs. A second chance with a family to make all the good memories with. Goodnight Derek, I'll see you in the morning. I love you." I reached up and kissed him before pulling back.

"I heard and I agree. Goodnight mate. I love you. Sweet dreams tonight." Derek said as he pulled me in for another kiss before turning and going into his room.

I went back into my room and changed into a sleep shirt and boxers before turning off the light and crawling in beside Isaac. As I settled in the bed Isaac rolled to face me and snuggled up pressing his face into my chest before settling down again. I pressed a kiss into his curls and felt myself drift off into sleep as well.

I just hoped that our lives continued to get better and we continued to grow closer as a pack and take care of each other before we were sidetracked with anything else.
