Author's Note: I decided to do this story because of all the good reviews and one of my reviewers asked for it. So I came up with a decent plot. Let's hope I can finish it.
This chapter is about Scott and Sam. Sorry. No Derek or Stiles.

Scott walked into the Hale Manor and looked around. It was good thing he was friends with Derek. If he wasn't, he wouldn't be walking into his house all happy like he was. Well, yeah, he would. He was friends with Sam, who was Derek's girlfriend and also the mother of his daughter. Basically whatever Sam said went because she had also refinished the house so technically it was hers.
He remembered the first time he had come into this house. It was the night he found out the bus driver had died of his injuries. That same night he fought Derek and found out about who he was. Not long after that he had found out who the Alpha who had bit him was. It wasn't a pretty moment at this house. The only things that had helped him through it were Allison, Sam and Stiles. He would say Derek but Derek had pissed him off so much in between then and now, he reluctantly thanked him for helping him control his wolf.
With the thought of Allison came the thought of her family and how he had nearly lost one of his. Sam was a tough cookie but Allison's aunt, Kate Argent, had shot her in cold blood because the woman wanted Derek. That was the easiest way to put it. But not being one to back down, Sam showed her mettle by wiping the floor with Kate. Ever since then, they all had been on rocky ground with the Argent Hunters.
Scott scaled the stairs and made a right to the nursery. In the three weeks that had followed Laura's birth, everything had been crazy. The most ironic thing was Laura Grace was born on the same day as Scott. Their joint birth was October 18, although Scott was seventeen years older than she was.
He found Sam feeding Laura and turned away like a good gentleman. At that moment he was glad Sam was deaf but knowing his luck she would have heard his footsteps in the hall. When she didn't call out to him, he sighed. That was the one thing about having a deaf friend who was also a mother. He had to walk into the room for her to know he was there and he never knew when she'd be breastfeeding.
"Scott, I know you're out there. I felt the door slam." She called to him as loud as she could with the muted voice she had.
He glanced around the corner and saw she had put the baby back in her bassinet and had arranged herself. He walked into the room then. Laura was asleep in the bassinet. It was as if food was all she cared for at the moment.
"She's peaceful." He mumbled.
"She looks like Derek." Sam said.
"How are the cochlear implants?" he asked as he turned to her.
Sam had been deaf since the age of thirteen when a propane tank exploded, bursting her eardrums in the process. When she spoke to her doctor and got the okay, she set a date to have cochlear implants. The doctor that did her surgery said he was surprised at how well she responded. They made sure the baby was safe after that.
She smiled, happy that she could hear at least a little bit. "It's going well. I'm not sure I want to keep them though."
"Why not?"
"They make my ears itch and sometimes Derek gets too loud." She shook her head on that one.
"I understand that. He does have the tendency to yell."
"Yes, but this time he's being a good boy. Laura doesn't like it when he yells."
"I don't expect she does. We're playing again tonight. I know you can't make it out with the baby and all so I came to ask if there was anything in particular you'd like to eat afterwards." He laughed when she made a face. "What?"
"I'd like a corndog and coke please."
Scott laughed. "Derek and that stupid diet of his."
"Yes! Now that the baby's here, I want real food. So from now on every time you have a game, I want a corndog and/or cheeseburger with fries and a coke. No ifs, ands or buts."
"And what are you going to say when he scolds you for it?"
"Nothing. I'll just have Stiles sing Disney songs to him. We both know how much he loves that."
"Oh, we all love that." Scott rolled his eyes. "Speaking of Derek, where is he? I have a question for him?"
Sam shrugged. "I don't know. After Laura was born, he said he had business he'd been neglecting. Lately he hasn't been getting home time after dark, except on the full moon. That's when he stays out all night. Werewolves. I swear you're a troublesome lot."
"But you love us."
"Yeah. Unfortunately. Hey, tell Stiles he still owes me Mexican. He ate the last of the tacos you brought over for me the other day. I miss my tacos."
"Will do. You still haven't told Derek about the food we've been bringing you?"
"Nope and he won't know if you keep your mouth shut."
"What happened to getting Stiles to sing for him?"
"Oh, please. One dirty look and Stiles will shut up. He's intimidated by Derek."
"And Derek's intimidated by you. That's an interesting circle." She popped him in the cheek. "That gives a new meaning to cheeky."
"No wonder Derek likes you. You act just like him."
Scott laughed as he followed Sam down the stairs. Well, he walked; she slid down the railing. No matter how many times Derek told her to use the stairs when going down, she never listened. One time she flipped off the railing after balancing neatly on her hands. That hadn't gone over well at all.
They walked into the kitchen and Sam handed him a grocery list. That was the best part of coming over every day. He got to do all sorts of interesting things. He would never forget the one night he came over and there was a cow in the woods behind the house. He, Stiles and Derek spent an hour getting it back on the main road. Come to find out the cow had wandered from the next county over.
He went over the grocery list. It was the normal stuff they needed; milk, formula, diapers, wipes, toilet paper. "You guys go through a lot of toilet paper and paper towels."
"We wouldn't if we didn't have so many friends coming over all the time. Get going. I'll need that tonight."
"I'll bring it over after the game."
"Thanks, Scott."
He hugged and kissed her goodbye before walking out the door for another mission for the Hale family.
