Ashlee's p.o.v
"Ashlee, Derek" Deaton greets upon seeing us. I smile in greeting. He opens the gate for us, closing it behind us too. "Follow me" he says, leading the way. I jump up on his table, crossing my legs while Derek sits down in a chair..like a normal person would. I think it's clear i'm not exactly 'normal'.
"So. My wolf?" I ask, looking at Deaton.
"We'll do the wolfsbane test again-" Deaton starts.
"Absolutely not" Derek cuts in with his 'no arguements' voice he used to use on his betas.
"No, not that test" Deaton assures him. "If you have your wolf, all it will take is me bringing the flower out" he says.
"Really? That's it?" I ask him.
"You've evolved already. I believe you and your wolf are fine. But to double check, i'll do this simple test" Deaton explains.
"But that's it? You're just going to bring it out?" Derek double checks.
"Yes Derek, that's all i'll do" Deaton smiles a little, seeing Derek's protective side.
"Okay" I nod. "Let's light this candle" I say, a little nervous. I can feel her in me but..I have a few doubts. Can you blame me? One minute i'm healing and my eyes are glowing, next i'm dying and freezing cold. It hasn't been the easiest few weeks. Not by a long shot. But things are getting better. On some levels. We've lost alot recently, some really important people. Some may come back, others won't ever. But on a good note, the Nogitsune's dead. Stiles is Stiles again and he's alive. I'm thankful for that. I've evolved and i'm physically feeling more on my game than before. Just this little test to see if i'm 100%.. Here we go.
"Okay" Deaton says, bringing up the jar, it's lid sealed tightly shut. "Derek, do you want to leave-"
"I'm staying" Derek says, coming to my side. I smile when he takes my hand in his.
"Alright" Deaton nods. "Here we go" he says, unscrewing the lid. Both males watch me. As soon as the lids lifted off, the strong stench attacks my nose.
"Yeah, okay, please shut it" I say, waving my hand in front of my face as if I can get rid of that disgusting smell that easily. Deaton quickly shuts it, giving me a smile. "Pah-ah-ah" I splutter, coughing a little. "Well?" I ask, looking at Deaton. That's when I notice i'm seeing as a wolf. I grin widely.
"Congratulations Ashlee, you and your wolf are okay" Deaton smiles. I suprise the older male, rushing forward and hugging him tightly.
"Thank you" I practically squel. I let him go, straighten up his jacket while Deaton catches his breath. I grin sheepishly. "Sorry"
"It's okay" Deaton assures me. "I'm glad you got the good news"
"So am I" I say. Derek pulls me into a hug. I hug him back tightly.
"I'm happy for you" he says, kissing my cheek. I pull back enough so I can peck his lips. He smiles and I do too, his gorgeous smile being infectious.
"Okay, I have to open" Deaton says.
"Okay" I chuckle, seeing that's our cue to leave. "Thank you so much for everything" I say sincerely.
"It's no problem" Deaton says.
"Seriously, thank you" Derek says, holding his hand out. Deaton smiles softly. He takes Derek's hand, the two shaking hands. "We'll get out of your hair" Derek says. Deaton waves goodbye as Derek leads us out. Once we're outside, I jump on his back, wrapping my legs around his hips so he's piggy backing me. Derek chuckles, letting me be happy.
"Ashlee" my face drops when I recognize the voice. Derek turns towards the voice too.
"Crap" I mutter, coming face to face with my father. "Hi" I say awkwardly.
"What's uh..what's this?" he asks, looking at Derek and I.
"Oh. Uh, Derek's an old friend" I lie, smiling at my Dad.
"Mmm hmm" he nods. "Will I be seeing you at dinner tonight?" Dad asks me.
"Yeah, Scott and I both" I say.
"Derek too?" Dad asks, looking at him.
"No" Derek says. "Sir.." he adds awkwardly.
"Alright" Dad says. We fall into an awkward silence. "I have to take the squad dog in to see Deaton" Dad says. The dog's ears perk up, it walks over to us and sniffs us. It growls lowly. Dad raises an eyebrow at us. Over Derek's shoulder so Dad can't see, I flash my eyes at the dog. It whines, backing down. I look back at Dad with an innocent smile. "Okay.." he says, confused, looking between us and the dog. "I'll see you tonight then" Dad says.
"Yeah, course" I nod.
"It was nice meeting you Derek" Dad says. "Outside of your record of course" he adds, smiling fakely. Damn..I was waiting for that.
"You had somewhere to be, did you not?" I say, not rudely but not all nicely either. Dad nods and then he's walking into the clinic. I burst out laughing. "Crap" I sigh. "That's not exactly how I wanted to introduce you to him"
"It's fine Ash, don't sweat it" Derek says, turning his head to look at me. "I'm just your old friend, right?" he grins.
"Shut up" I chuckle, smcking his back lightly.
"Okay, let's get you home" Derek says, walking towards the camaro.
