Stiles was sitting in his room not moving for the past two hours. He didn't really know what to think since Derek had showed him the he was once again rebuilding his house. He felt like once again the pieces where coming together but was scared that it would also mean that they would coming tumbling down again. He was tired of all the pain that he had gone through in his short 24 years of life. His phone brought him back to reality.
"Stiles, hows it going son?" Mr. Stilinski's voice filled his ear.
"Hey dad, its going. I am just been thinking things and I am not sure if I want to go back to Vermont."
"Stiles..."
"I know dad, but I left 3 years ago and look where it brought me, right back here. Maybe its a sign that I can't keep running from my problems. I know yes it started with me and you moving to NC after you retired but even you came back because you didn't like being away from home."
"Stiles if its what you want then there is no stopping you. I love you son and I will support you in anything you do. I just don't want you to be doing this for the wrong reasons. I mean he has a kid and lives with Danny. I don't want you to come back and have to suffer seeing that every day or getting your hopes up." Mr. Stilinski hated Derek every since Stiles had drunkly told everything to his dad, now he couldn't even say Derek's name.
"Dad its not what you think. Ya I will always have feelings for Derek and he will always care about me but its too soon for either of us to trust the other."
"I just don't want to see you hurt again Stiles. You are my son and I will do anything to protect you. I am going to go, I got a date to get ready for."
"Alright, I love you dad. Good luck." Stiles shut off his phone and rolled over. He shut his eyes and cleared his mind.
A few hours later Stiles bolted upright. He didn't know how long he was out and didn't know what woke him, then he heard it, the loud knocking on his front door. Who uses the door anymore? He went downstairs to see who it was. He was shocked but who greeted him.
"Danny..." Stiles took a step back to allow Danny into the house.
"Stiles we need to talk."
"Do we have to, I mean I pretty much got an ear full the last time we talked. I did what you wanted, I haven't left, I have talked to Derek, I have excepted your kid. What more do you want from me?"
"You haven't meet my son."
"Whoo that is not something that I can just rush into. I am not mentally prepared to do that. I can't do that, not when the only feelings I have towards your son is hate. Its not his fault I know, but I can't do it. I need time."
"I understand that Stiles but if you are sticking around and are going to be in Derek's life you need to meet Bryce and except the fact that yes his is mine and Derek's child. He will be here forever. There is no running from this Stiles."
"Yea I get it Danny I really do but I am not in Derek's life at the moment. I am barley talking to him. I don't even know if I have forgiven him yet."
"Oh you have, you did the moment you found out what he did. Now you just need to let it go, stop holding onto feelings that aren't real. You don't hate Derek, hell you don't even hate me. And that's what makes you such a man, to except the fact that your mate had a child with someone else. You want to hate us but deep down you can't because you are so much better then that. We are having family dinner tomorrow night, 7pm, our apartment. Bring yourself and maybe a bottle of wine or two."
"Wait you can't just..." but it was to late Danny was out the front door before Stiles could even finish his sentence. What the hell Stiles was never going to be able to stop thinking about what he had just said to him. Could it be true, did Stiles really forgive Derek way back then? Did he really just hold onto the burning hate with no real feelings, how the hell was he suppose to figure all this crap out. Oh he needed a shot!
Stiles once again bolted up right the next morning, this time to find Derek looming in his room. Oh man he really need to buy some bars for his window so people would stop using it.
"Derek"
"Stiles."
"What can I do for you this fine morning?"
"Its the afternoon..." Derek trailed off. Stiles looked down at his alarm clock and was shocked to see that yes indeed it was afternoon, 2pm to be correct, guess that bottle of Patron was not a good idea last night but dam if it didn't make him forget...everything.
"How long have you been there?"
"Since last night...when you called me."
"I didn't call you" Stiles woudln't believe that he did.
"Oh yes you did. Its not the first time. In the last 2 years since you have been gone you have called me 36 times when you are drunk. Don't you remember?"
"No, no no no no...dammit no! I have never called you, you are lying."
"Stiles look at me, I am not lying, why would I lie about something like that?"
"Cause..." Stiles just sat there racking his brain to all the times he was drunk...he can't ever rememeber calling Derek...why the hell would he what the hell did he say and why the hell was Derek here if it was something that he was use to. "Why did you come over here, you say you are use to me calling you when I am drunk why come over last night, what made it different?"
"You told me you love me."
"Oh...shit" Stiles muttered, not that it mattered, Derek could hear him anyways.
"Yea so I came to check that you hadn't had to much to drink since normally you call and yell at me or just sit there breathing into the phone. I figured you had way to much and might die in your sleep."
"Yea thanks for that but as you can see no dying. O I need another drink if I am going to make it through this day."
"No you don't, you are not showing up to the family dinner trashed and you are not meeting my son with alcohol on your breath so get up, take a long shower, brush you teeth, more then once, and then meet me down stairs. You got 40 mins."
"What why...?"
"Don't ask questions and do as I say." Derek pushed Stiles towards the bathroom. 35 mins later Stiles was rushing down the stairs. He had to admit for as drunk as Derek claimed him to be he didn't have a hangover, but then again maybe his body was just use to all the alcohol he forced into it. He ran into Derek at the bottom of the steps, dam didn't he know personal space.
"Um you mind backing up a few hundred feet there buddy."
"Sorry" Derek mumbled and step back a few feet watching Stiles as he struggled to put on his shoes.
"Well I am ready, where are we going?"
"Its a suprise." Derek replied
"Oh come on man I am so over these suprises. Its never really a good suprise. Tell me or I am not getting in the car with you." Stiles pouted like a 3 year old.
"Stiles get in the car."
"No"
"Stiles"
"Derek"
"Fine you want to know where we are going, we are going to the store because its my turn to cook dinner tonight and well you are going to help me."
"Umm no I am not. I never even agreed to go to this dinner."
"Yea well this is my way of making sure you show up."
"Bye" Stiles turned back to the front door but before he could reach it Derek was in front of him.
"Stiles, I would really apprechiate it if you went with me to the store and then helped me prepare a meal for our family. I want to work this out. I thought we had made some progress these past few days, I mean you did call me last night..."
"Yea I was drunk, I don't remember such phone call and yea so we have talked and gotten along better these past few days but I cannot meet your son, thats just not something I am prepared to do at the moment."
"Yes you are."
"No I am not"
"Stiles you can't run from this. Bryce is mine, he will always be in my life and if you are going to be part of it you have to meet him. Its gonna happen anyways it might as well be now."
"Fine" Stiles let out a heavy sigh and walked to the car, getting in and slamming the door shut. He maybe getting dragged along but that didn't mean he had to play nice. He knew this was going to be a long day.
A/N: So this chapter has been the biggest pain in the butt to write. I blame it on the new season...which I love but I hate it at the same time. I am sorry but Derek is an ass and I am totally hating him this season. Stiles well he still is my number one guy and I love him! Scott isn't such a baby this season and actully standing up to Derek...and well don't get me started on the new wolfs cause I HATE them! But back to the story...I am sorry it took so long to update I am hoping that now once I broke through this chapter I can get the next one up soon!
