A/N: I'm sorry it's been awhile. I really intended to have this posted sooner but my uncle has stage 4 kidney cancer and he might not make it so I was busy being with him in the hospital. I'm going to try to have this become more regular barring any more sudden emergencies.

Chapter 7: A New Week, Pack Meeting, and Discovery

Stiles POV

After everything that had happened recently, what with Derek and Isaac moving in, Scott's punishment detail, and telling the parents and pack about the mating and werewolves in the parents case, it was time for some fun and a little relax time.

I walked into the living room and went to sit beside Derek and Isaac on the couch while Isaac paused the video game he had roped Derek into playing with him.

"So Mom, what are we gonna do this week?" Isaac asked. I knew he really wanted to spend some more time just the three of us for alpha pair and pup one on one bonding time. I was inclined to give it to him but knew I'd need to balance the schedule carefully as we still needed to go to school, have a pack meeting and bonding day, fix up Isaac's new room and I still needed to try and convince Derek to start a remodel on the old Hale house.

"Well Monday through Friday we have school till 4:30pm including lacrosse practice. Monday night were going to start cleaning up your new room. Tuesday I thought we'd research the new baddie in town. Wednesday is for everyone to spend with their families. Thursday I thought the three of us could do something together to work on pack bonding. And Friday is the pack meeting and pack night. Is there anything in particular you'd like to do Thursday, pup?" I made sure to include everything that would pertain to Isaac and make sure that he knew he would be included in the planning process.

"Can I think about it a little bit Mom?" Isaac asked as he snuggled up next to me and started the game again.

"Sure pup. Just let me know." I said.

The Next Day (Monday)

Stiles POV

I woke up about five minutes before the alarm and reached over to turn it off. Isaac was cuddled up against my side and as I slid out of the bed I pushed my pillow into his arms. When I got up and turned to look he had hugged the pillow tight against him and had his face buried in it making the cutest little growly noises. I pulled on some sweats over my boxers and went downstairs to make breakfast.

When I got down to the kitchen there was a note taped to the coffee pot, I picked up and quickly read it as I pulled out the eggs and veggies.

"Stiles,

Had to run got a call, will explain it later. You and Isaac have fun at school—I've cleared up everything for him so he can go. And ask Derek if he wouldn't mind running to the hardware store and getting some mower blades for me. Don't wait up tonight.

Love you son,

Dad

PS-tell Isaac I love him to and to have fun fixing his room tonight."

I thought it was sweet that dad had thought of Isaac while writing the note, because Isaac needed all the love and affection he could get. I started the skillet heating while I chopped up some onions, mushrooms, and green bell pepper which was mixed with the eggs and cheese to make omelets. When that's was done I poured one into the hot skillet and pulled out the bread and started making some toast. As I was taking up one omelet and pouring another I felt arms wrap around my waist and a warm nose pushed into my neck.

"Good morning Derek. Did you sleep good?" I asked as I leaned back against him.

"Morning Stiles. I slept fine. So how did you know it was me? It could've been Isaac." He asked.

"Well Isaac isn't scruffy and I know the difference between my pup and my mate. So Dad left a note asking you to go to the hardware store and pick up a mower blade and could you go wake up Isaac. When you get back down here breakfast will be ready." I said as I took up the cooking omelet and poured the last one. While that was cooking I pulled the toast out of the oven.

I checked the last omelet and took it up when I saw it was done. I was plating the food and pouring the drinks when I heard footsteps and turned to see my puppy and mate coming into the room.

"Morning Puppy. Did you sleep well?" I asked Isaac as I ruffled his hair when he sat down on my way to my chair.

"Fine Mom. Thanks for breakfast. I haven't had a home cooked one in a long time." Isaac said as he dug in with a faint blush on his cheeks.

"You're welcome, Pup. So dad had to leave this morning but he told me to tell you to have fun fixing your room tonight and that he loved you." I looked at Isaac as I said this and watched as a flush of pleasure and pride washed over him and knew then that we needed to tell him that more often.

After breakfast I cleaned up the kitchen while Derek headed to the hardware store, and Isaac headed to get dressed. When Isaac came back down I grabbed our backpacks and headed to the jeep as he followed. We rode in comfortable silence until I pulled into the school parking lot and then Scott, Boyd, and Erica were there chattering away. When the bell ran we split up and headed to first period. My day dragged on through math, English, Spanish, history, and then finally it was lunch. I dreaded after lunch because I knew Mr. Harris was bound to be in a mood. Then I had economics with coach which would be okay cause Isaac and Scott where there with me. All through classes I noticed Jackson was missing, which was odd considering lacrosse finals were coming up. For some reason this bothered me more than usual, but I didn't worry about it as the last bell rang. After classes we headed to practice where I finally had a chance to talk to the guys.

"So Scott, Boyd how was y'alls weekend? Hope you had fun, and I hope you both come over tonight with Erica and help with Isaac's new room." I said as I changed into my gym clothes.

"Weekend was fine. And Erica and I will be over around six tonight. If we come over early do we get dinner?" Boyd asked as he slid on his pads and grab his stick.

"Sure I'll feed you, and Scott you too if you're there." I said as I laced my shoes.

"Yea I'm coming over. Wouldn't want to miss Isaac getting his new room." Scott said as we all headed out to the field.

After an hour of laps and practiced we were finally free to do as we pleased and go home. Thank god. We all hit the showers and then Isaac and Scott caught a ride back to the house with me. Boyd and Erica were going to have Derek pick them up while he was in town.

When we got to my house I sent the boys into the living room to start on homework while I ran into the kitchen to grab us a snack. I went back out with some popcorn, sodas, and sliced fruit. As I sat down the snacks the boys started eating as I dug out my chemistry and economics homework.

"So Isaac are you having fun staying with Stiles? I know when we were little and I'd come spend the week we used to get into so much trouble." Scott asked as he started working on his English research paper.

"Yea Mom is awesome. And it's nice having someone take care of me for a change; instead of always having to take care of myself. Are you staying for supper and helping with the room? It'd be cool if you did." Isaac said.

"If Stiles and the sheriff don't mind I'll stay for dinner, and I'd love to help you with your room. Maybe once it's done the whole pack can come over and have a bonding weekend. I'm sure we'd all have a good time. Maybe we could even invite Allison?" Scott said and I could tell the last hopeful question was meant for me.

"That sounds like an excellent idea Scott, but I'll have to think about the Allison thing. And ask Derek what he thinks too. Now I'm done with my work and I'm going to go start dinner. When you finish you can go up and start moving the boxes from the attic to the shed. But if it's marked Christmas put them in the storage closet. Scott can show you where it's all at Isaac." I said as I packed up my homework and stood. I ruffled Isaac's hair as I walked by and headed to the kitchen.

By the time supper was done Derek had gotten home and gone to help the pups. I heard the cruiser pulling in to the drive and headed upstairs to get the boys. When I walked into the attic I was shocked. All the boxes were gone and they were fixing the room up. Scott was sweeping and dusting the curtains. Isaac was putting his clothes into the dresser that we had up there, and Derek was setting up a bed that I never saw or heard them taking up there.

"Wow guys y'all work fast! If you want to Isaac I'll go with you after dinner to your old pace and we can pick up your TV and any other stuff you want. Scott if you'll go grab me some sheets and quilts out of the linen closet ill make up the bed while y'all go get washed up for supper, because it's ready." I said.

Scott ran out and quickly returned with the bedding I asked for and then he and Isaac went downstairs to wash up. As Derek walked by he snagged me and pulled me in for a toe-curling kiss before pulling back, smirking, and then wandering down the stairs.

I quickly made up the bed and then washed up myself before heading into the dining room where the others were seated waiting for me.

"Hey Dad, did you have a good day at work today?" I asked as the food started going around the table.

"Yea it was okay. Thanks Derek for picking up that blade for me. I noticed you put it on for me. That was nice of you. So did you guys do well in school today? No one got in trouble did they?" he asked.

Scott and I shared a look across the table and smiled cause we knew we were the troubling teens he was talking about.

"Yea Sheriff we all behaved and we even did our homework though that was mostly cause Stiles made us." Scott said.

After dinner Dad and Derek headed in the living room to watch the game while Scott cleaned up and Isaac and I headed over to pick up a couple of his things.

When we got back Scott was already gone and Dad was in the shower. Derek helped Isaac lug all his stuff to his room as I got ready for bed. Once in my pjs I went to Isaac's room and told him goodnight before stopping at Derek's door and going in. I walked over and sat beside him in comfortable silence before my tiredness won out.

"Well I'm gonna head to bed cause I'm exhausted. I love you Derek, thanks for helping with the room and my dad today." I said as I leaned over and kissed him.

"I love you to Stiles. And you're welcome/ it was no trouble. I'll see you in the morning, good night." Derek said after kissing me back.

"Good night." I said as I closed the door behind me. I headed down the hall and into my room crawling into bed and pulling the covers up around me. I fully intended to have awesome sexy-times dreams about Derek.

Little did I know of the awful nightmare awaiting me…
