Disclaimer: Teen wolf does not belong to me in any shape or form – sorry it took me so long to write another chapter of this, I was so focused on finishing deadly intentions and getting the sequel up and running that all other projects fell to the side-lines kinda – but hope y'all like this next instalment and a massive thankful shoutout to
"Dad!"
"Don't 'dad' me Stiles, I'm being perfectly reasonable" his dad said calmly as he flushed red, "All I'm asking is you make sure you wear a condom – that girl already has one baby, don't you go and make her life harder than it already is by making another one"
He face-palmed himself, letting out a pitiful groan, "we weren't… we haven't actually… we haven't done… oh god…"
"But you're planning to, yes?"
"Wha-how did you… what?" he squeaked out, "it's not exactly something I've broadcasted"
"The walls are thin Stiles" his dad sighed as he flushed even redder at the implications, "and I may be getting on a bit but I'm not deaf yet"
Oh god…
His hand flew to his mouth, his expression twisting into one of mortification as he remembered last night; Kayla's very detailed explanation about how best to get her off, his muffled groans as she teased him with a hand job and his rather intimate questions about how to actually, well… y'know…
"You uh… you heard all that huh?" he asked, gulping nervously.
"Thin walls" he repeated, "so please Stiles for the love of god when you two do have sex, cover up alright? Promise me?"
He went to open his mouth but pure and utter embarrassment made no words come out, his face burning with heat and his dad just sighed impatiently, frustration evident on his features but before he could lapse into a long explanation about what he would do to him if he didn't wear one, the front door opened and Kayla's bright "hello" distracted them both as she walked in with Mia on her hip, swinging her car keys around her finger.
"Hey Kiddo" his dad greeted, sending Stiles one last annoyed glare before smiling at his girlfriend, "how you both doing?"
"Not too bad" she replied, kissing the side of Mia's head, "she just woke up so she's a bit grouchy"
"I know how that feels" his dad laughed, walking over to them, "Stiles is still like that sixteen years later"
She chuckled, "that depends on how he gets woken up"
If possible, he flushed even more, dark smudges painting his pale cheeks as he picked up on the subtle innuendo but his dad never, reaching out to ruffle Mia's thick curly hair.
"So what are your plans for today?"
Oh god, please don't say anything, Kayla please don't say anything, oh god please don't-
"Grab some dinner and then Derek said he would look after Mia for the night seeming how my mom's outta town, gives me and Stiles a bit of alone time without a screaming baby so that's a plus"
Okay, to be fair that was tame to what she could've said but still way too much information because, c'mon, alone time? That basically screamed sex.
"Oh" his dad mumbled, sending him that knowing stare again before facing Kayla, "well, I'm just going to say this to you because you seem like a level headed reasonable adult, unlike my son" and he choked on a breath, quickly shaking his head but his dad paid no heed, "if you two do have sex can there please be the involvement of a condom?"
He squeaked loudly, eyes widening as Kayla glanced over at him with a smile of amusement, "oh for sure, don't worry about that sheriff, already stocked up" she nodded affirmatively, "I offered to buy them because I know his size better than anyone"
"Oh dear lord and jesus…"
"That's… good to know… I guess" his dad mumbled, looking a little uncomfortable but happy that his fears were put to rest, "so I'm not to expect you back tonight then?"
He momentarily closed his eyes in horror as his dad rounded on him, willing away the horror and embarrassment that was welling up inside him because, holy crap, he so did not want the fact his dad knew what they were planning to do to impact on his, uh… performance.
"Um… uh… I… heh uh… n-no" he whispered, "I'll be, uh… at Kayla's… for the night… all night-" he really wasn't making this any better for himself, was he? "-and right about now is when I want to crawl in a hole and die so we should get going" he grabbed his jacket off the back of the couch, stumbling towards Kayla, "I booked the table for seven"
"It's only half past four Stiles" she pointed out with a laugh, tickling Mia's cheek so she burst into delighted giggles, burying her face in Kayla's shoulder and reaching out with her chubby little grabby hands to tangle them in her mom's thick mass of hair.
"Traffic can be a bitch though" he rushed out, placing a hand on her back and trying to hurriedly guide her from the room, "catch ya later dad"
"Bye kids"
"Bye Sheriff, I would've hugged you but your son is kidnapping me-Stiles, chill, it's just se-"
"La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la" he near enough shouted, sending his dad an awkward smile as he slammed the door shut and fell back against it, blowing out a long breath, fanning himself with his hand to try and cool down the sweat that had seized his body.
"You're something else, you know that?" Kayla laughed, leaning forward to press a quick kiss to his lips, "your dad is fine with it"
"Yeah but still" he exclaimed, rubbing at the back of his neck awkwardly, "it's my dad – the guy who used to bathe me and change my diapers, I don't want him knowing when we're… well…"
"Getting hot and heavy?" she chuckled, adjusting Mia on her hip as she started squirming, "you're still on for tonight, right?"
"Wha-of-of course" he stuttered, "so on for it"
"Good" she laughed and he just sent her a wink before dropping his stare to Mia and pulled a funny face as she peered up at him happily, causing her to let out another string of giggles.
"And who's a pretty girl today?" he cooed, reaching out for her and lifting her up into the air, "did mommy dress you in this?"
"Ha – yeah right" she laughed, "that was all Lydia"
Because the bright pink little tutu all in one and matching pink ribbons were actually adorable but so not Kayla at all.
"Thought as much" he laughed, playfully throwing Mia into the air and catching her again, "so you going to be good for uncle Derek so mommy and Stiles can have some alone time hm?" he asked, "because I thought we were bros – bros do this for one another"
"She better" Kayla warned as he smirked, breaking out into a wide smile as Mia reached forward with her hands, cupping his cheeks and placing a very wet kiss against his nose.
He playfully screwed his face up as she continued to giggle, wrapping her small arms around his neck and he met Kayla's amused stare, her eyes brimming with so much love and affection he faltered.
"Uh… everything okay?"
"Yeah" she nodded, "I just… I really love this. You. Us" she grinned, "that's all"
She felt his hands slowly glide down her stomach, hooking into the lace of her underwear but before he could tug them off the loud shrill ring of her cell phone made them both jump, Stiles flailing off her like he thought he got shot.
"Relax" she laughed, patting his chest as he gazed around wide eyed as she glanced at her phone, "it's just Derek – Yeah?"
"She won't stop crying" was what she was greeted with through the phone, Mia's loud wails near deafening her as she tugged the phone away from her ear, "for three hours Kay – three hours – even Isaac can't get her to shut up"
She pushed herself up against the head board, underwear set still in place, "she's probably just hungry"
"Do you not think I tried that?" he exclaimed, "that was the first thing I did!"
"Then burp her"
"Done"
"Change her"
"Done"
"Rock her to sleep"
"I've tried" he rushed out, "Kay, look, I'm sorry but you have to come and get her, I think she just misses her mommy"
If Derek didn't just cockblock her right there then she might've laughed at the word 'mommy' leaving his lips.
"What?" she asked, totally shocked, "no, I can't"
"Why not?"
'Because my boyfriend was just about to give me the best seeing to I've probably ever had – why can't you understand that?' almost left her lips but she held it back, sighing loudly.
"Because I can't, look she's probably just being fussy, happens all the time, I wouldn't worry about it"
"Kay…" Derek said slowly, that parental disapproving tone in place as he spoke over Mia's cries, "being a mom comes first and your daughter needs you right now, that should be the most important thing not whatever else is going on"
She got that, she did, but sometimes she needed a break and this was one of those times.
"… Yeah… Yeah I know" she mumbled shamefully, "I'll be around in ten"
"Mia playing up huh?" Stiles asked her as she ended the call, "our luck sucks pretty bad right now"
"Yeah, it does" she murmured glumly, raking her hands through her tangled hair, tears pressing themselves forward, "I just… I just wanted one night where I didn't have to be a mom and be just a girlfriend"
"Hey… it doesn't matter" Stiles soothed, sensing her sadness as he pushed himself forward to tilt her chin up, "Mia needs you and I totally get that"
"I know but this was our night" she whispered, "where we could just be normal"
"There'll be other nights" he insisted, trying to cheer her up.
"I uh… I better go pick her up" she broke away from his hold, tugging on her jeans and throwing on an old hoody, "you can go if you want"
"Nah, it's alright, I'll stay" he explained, "my dad's not expecting me back anyway"
"A screaming ten month old is kind of a mood killer Stiles"
"Babe, I said it was chill" he reassured, "I'm not going to leave you to deal with it – package deal remember?"
"Yeah" she smiled faintly, "package deal"
"So you finally had sex then? Wasn't that supposed happen like three weeks ago?" Lydia asked, "how was it?"
"It was… okay"
"Okay? Just okay?" she demanded, "girl, come on, I need details"
"Fine it was terrible" she sighed, "I'm talking the worst of the worst"
"How?" Lydia pouted, "he not good in the sack or something?"
"That's the thing, he is" she insisted, "he's great at getting me off but everything just went wrong"
"What went wrong?"
"For starters, it hurt… like a lot" she winced just remembering it, "I thought that it wouldn't because it's been nearly eleven months since I gave birth but he's big and I literally spent the first five minutes asking him to stay still because it felt like a chainsaw in my vagina"
Lydia chuckled, biting her lip to stop from full out laughing.
"And then he flipped us over thinking it would be easier if I was on top but he ended up banging his head off the headboard and nearly knocking himself out, followed promptly by banging his head off mine"
"That does sound like a disaster"
"Oh, I haven't even started yet" she explained, "so all's good, he finally gets his eyes to stop going cross-eyed and just then his dad decides to walk in – bear in mind I'm still on top trying to ride him – and he goes limp, just like that" she demonstrated by letting her hand flop in front of her, Lydia's eyes brimming with tears of amusement, "and it took like an hour to calm him down and get him back in the mood except he didn't want to continue it in his bedroom because he was so embarrassed, which was fine, I didn't care, so you wanna know where we ended up?"
"Where?"
"His old playhouse in his backyard"
"Oh my god"
"It's a very small place Lyds, I'm talking like designed for five year olds, and we got stuck, totally naked in the freezing cold at like midnight and by this point I was so fed up I just told him to keep going and he came early" she finished up with, "so yeah… it went great"
"So he never got to showcase his talents then?"
"Nope" Kayla shook her head, "and he was so embarrassed about the whole 'coming early' thing he didn't want to try again so not only was I sexually dissatisfied but now am also extremely horny"
"This is why I'm never having kids for at least twelve years" Lydia smirked, "totally messes up sex lives"
"And I'm a prime example of that"
"Not for long" and she frowned at Lydia's playful tone, "after school I'll take Mia, your mom's out of town again right?"
"Yeah"
"Perfect" her friend grinned, "I'll have her until ten and you can go sex up your boyfriend, how does that sound?"
"Like I'm definitely gonna get some" she exclaimed, "oh my god, you sure?"
"Yes" Lydia laughed, "I'm an advocate for women experiencing sexual pleasure"
"And this, Lyds, is why you are my best friend"
"Oh… my… god…" she whispered, collapsing back against the sweaty bedsheets, "… oh… god…"
"Uh… was that better?" Stiles asked worriedly, twisting his head to glance at her, "I mean… you got off right?"
"Yeah… most definitely got off" she whispered breathlessly, gulping back some air, "that was the best orgasm I've ever heard"
"What? You for real?"
"… Yeah…" she murmured, raising a hand to swipe it through her sweaty hair, "fuck… we need to do that again. Like now"
"Uh… wow, okay" he murmured as she straddled his lap, kissing her way down his chest, "like right now?"
"Like right now" she confirmed, swiping her tongue over his damp chest.
"Uh… heh, that's chill, I just need a few minutes to, uh... you know…"
She laughed, popping her head up to smile at him, "yeah I know how the male anatomy works baby"
He smiled, cupping her cheeks and bringing her into a sweet kiss, "so you weren't just lying to spare my feelings? I mean, I was really that good?"
She nuzzled their noses together, lips brushing across his own, "you were really that good" she confirmed with a playful smile, "I love you"
He gave her a lopsided grin, free hand trailing down her back and tracing each bump in her spine, "Love you too"
"Dada"
He froze, his expression morphing into one of pure and utter shock as he gazed across at Mia who he was holding, Scott next to him letting out a surprised sound.
"Did she just… did she just call you dada?"
"Oh crap" he whispered, shaking his head frantically at the baby as he cuddled her into his chest, "no, you can't say that, I thought we agreed on dude?"
"Dada, dada, dada" Mia giggled loudly, "dada"
"No, no I'm not your dad" he rushed out, "your dad is a prick and I am not… most of the time" he amended, "I'm your stepdaddy okay? Stepdaddy"
"Dada" she mumbled, those big green eyes of hers peering up at him widely, "dada"
"I'm so screwed" he whispered, whipping his head to the side to share a shocked glance with Scott, "if Aiden comes back he's going to rip me apart"
Scott just shrugged, "you've been more of a dad to her than he has, who cares what he thinks"
"I know but still…" he gazed down at Mia settled contently in his arms, fiddling with the buttons of his shirt, "I'm not her dad – not really"
"You love her like she is, don't you?"
"Well… yeah…"
"Then that's all that matters – blood doesn't" Scott mumbled, "you're the only dad she's ever known"
"Okay, maybe-" he agreed, "-but as much as I wish she was my daughter – blood and all – she's not and… and if Kayla and I are together for a long time I don't want her growing up calling me that and thinking I'm her real dad and then for her to find out… I'm not" he explained, "does that make sense?"
"Yeah" Scott nodded, "but it seems she's fixated on that word now"
"Hey guys" Kayla greeted, sliding up to them and sending them an award winning smile, "and how's my babygirl doing?" she cooed, gently taking her from Stiles' grasp and hugging her to her chest, "did you miss your mommy?"
"Momma" Claudia sloppily replied with, letting out a screech and kissing her cheeks, "Momma, mama… dada"
He froze as Kayla's wide eyes met his, "Uh… I never taught her that"
"Nor did I" he explained feebly, "she just kinda came out with it earlier"
"Oh… Oh" she whispered, gazing down at her daughter, "she must've heard the other kids say that at daycare"
"Yeah – must've" he agreed, a nervous sweat building on the back of his neck.
"We'll just get her to say something else" Kayla reassured, "it's fine, she's young, she can be retrained. Especially if it bothers you that much"
"What? No, no, no" he rushed out, scared she took his expression as one of reluctance, "it's not that, I just uh… I kind of liked hearing it" he admitted, "it felt nice"
"Okay so…" she trailed off, screwing her face up in confusion, "do you want her to call you daddy?"
"Yes and no"
"What?"
"I want to be her dad Kaylz, I do" he nodded, "God, I love that little girl so much but as much as I want to be her real dad, I'm not" he explained as Scott just ducked his head, awkwardly trying to sidestep away, "Aiden is"
"Aiden doesn't care" she whispered, "he doesn't care about Mia"
"One day he might" he nodded, "and even though at times I don't bother correcting people when they assume I'm her dad, I can't take away that role from him"
"What role?" she scoffed, twisting Mia around so she was on her hip, bobbing her gently, "His role was over in seconds and then he left me, left us" she exclaimed, "Mia may be his biologically but you've been there in every way that matters. If you want to be her dad, then you can be"
"I do want to be" he rushed out, "but…"
He couldn't explain himself, the words getting lost.
"No, it's okay" she whispered, "I get where you're coming from. I do" she nodded, "but I never told you half of the stuff he did… or said… how he basically demanded I get an abortion, even drove me to the front door because he wasn't ready to be a dad, that he didn't want a kid, least of all with me. He was so angry Stiles… he hated our baby before she was even born. Mia's dad hates her…" she added sadly, dropping her stare to her baby, "and… and all I wanted was for her to be loved… and wanted…"
"And she is" Stiles nodded, stepping forward and tilting her chin up, "but she doesn't need to call me dad to know that we both care about her, that's all" he tried to explain himself, "I still love her like she's my own"
She smiled watery, "I know you do. I see the way you are with her… like a natural"
"She's a special kid" Stiles nodded, "so maybe we can reteach her how to say my name or something?"
"Stiles is too hard for an eleven month old"
"How about Sti?"
She started laughing, "you mean like an S.T.I?"
"Uh… Good point" he blushed, "we'll spell it with a 'y' instead"
They both glanced down at Mia, her large green doe eyes gleaming up at them, at her 'parents'.
"So baby… can you say Sty?" she asked, "just like this, S-t-y" she pronounced slowly, "say it with mommy okay? Sty… Sty…"
If it was possible for an eleven month old to look unamused and a little offended then Mia pulled it off perfectly, frowning a little before she peered up at Stiles with nothing short but love and affection burning in her childlike gaze.
"S… S…t…St…. Sty…"
"That's it" Stiles exclaimed, clapping his hands together as he brushed down to kiss her forehead, "Sty, exactly. You'll be saying Stiles in no time at all"
Kayla beamed at him, slipping her hand into his.
"Thank you"
"For what?" he wondered, cocking a brow.
"For showing me that blood means jack-shit" she smirked, "that someone can still love like a dad through choice and not because they have to… you're a pretty great guy Stilinski"
He just gave her a lopsided smile, sticking his tongue out at Mia before sweeping Kayla into a kiss, Mia giggling loudly at the motion.
After all, families don't end with blood.
"Kayla? Kayla, hey Kaylz… what's the matter?"
She tightened her grip around Mia, her stare still focused off into the distance.
"Kayla… baby, what is it?"
"Take Mia" she rushed out, thrusting her daughter into Stiles' arms and rounding on him, "take Mia and go inside okay?"
He gulped, stare drifting over her panicked features, "what's happening?"
She sucked back a deep breath, glancing over her shoulder at the familiar face before peering up at Stiles again, anxiety and fear coursing through her veins.
"it's… it's Aiden" she whispered and his eyes widened at her statement, "he's here so please, please just take her inside alright?"
She watched as his grip tightened around Mia, holding her little body closer to his chest and hushing her fussy moans as she tugged at the little blue dungarees in place, her little booted feet kicking out in frustration.
"Why is he here?"
"I don't know" she shrugged, "but just take her inside and lock the door. I don't want her seeing him, especially if he's mad"
He still looked doubtful, staring at her in worry.
"I'll be fine just… look after her alright?" gently giving him a nudge towards his house, "Stiles, please…"
"Okay" he whispered, adjusting his grip around Mia, "but if I see him do anything I swear to god-"
"It'll be fine" she reassured, not really believing her words, gently nodding at him as he slipped back inside the house and plucked up every ounce of courage she had and crossed the street, zig-zagging past several cars and spotted Aiden just a few feet in front of her, leaning against someone's front lawn fence.
"Aiden" she said in a hard voice, "what the hell are you doing here?"
He shrugged, "can't I drop in past and visit my daughter?"
"Daughter?" she scoffed loudly, folding her arms angrily, "You waved that right when you tried to force me into an abortion"
"People change Kayla"
"Go to hell" she seethed, "you don't care about her… you never did"
"I do" he insisted darkly, stepping towards her, "how old is she now? A year?"
"A year and two months" she corrected, rolling her eyes, "god, I bet you don't even know when her birthday is"
"I'm here to change all that" he insisted, "and there isn't anything you can do to stop me" his eyes briefly flashing red.
"Are you threatening me?" she demanded, "because you are going nowhere near her… not like this" she shook her head adamantly, "not if you're dangerous"
"I'm her dad Kayla"
"Yeah, when it suits you" she shouted, "a year too late"
He stepped forward again, eyes boring holes through her own, "you can't stop me from seeing her"
"I damn well can" she nodded, curling her fists, "she's doing fine without you"
"Because you've got boy toy playing daddy right?" he scoffed, nodding to Stiles' house, "because I swear to god Kayla if he is raising her as his then I'll-"
"What? Do what Aiden?" she screamed, "thank him for being there for her when you should've been? Because that's what he's done"
"I'm her dad" he shouted back, full of anger, "she is my child, not his"
"You don't care for her, you're just being possessive" she muttered, sending him a filthy look.
"Does she call him daddy huh?" he demanded, "Kayla, you better damn well answer me!"
"No, no she doesn't" she exploded, going red in the cheeks, "are you happy now?"
He narrowed his eyes, "I want to see her"
"Well you're not. Not now" she shook her head, "not in this state"
His eyes flashed red again, reaching out to grab her upper arm in a tight vice like grip and jolt her forward, "don't make me ask again Kayla"
She winced, gazing down at his clawed hand that was forcefully grabbing at her arm, no doubt going to make it turn black and blue in the coming days and just shook her head in disappointment – still the same angry Aiden, lashing out when he didn't get what he wanted.
"This is why I'm not letting you see her" her voice shaking with anger as he slowly let her go, "so go away and come back when you're calmer and my answer might just be maybe"
"So help me god…" his voice was trembling, "… if your answer is anything short of a yes then I'll take her and you'll never see her again"
"Don't you threaten me" she scowled, her stare so full of hate and despise he actually looked semi shocked, "she is my daughter Aiden and you will not take her away from me, are we clear?" stepping up to him and narrowing her eyes, "I will kill anyone who dares threaten my baby"
He gulped, sensing her seriousness – after all, you never mess with a mama bear protecting her cub.
"I just want to see her"
"And you can… when you stop using her as a power play and prove to me you won't in any way harm her" she settled on, "because the Aiden I knew, the one that wanted me to have an abortion, is not capable of being a dad and is definitely not safe to be around. Prove to me you've changed and actually want to be a part of her life and then we'll talk"
He sighed loudly, gaze gliding her to the house, "that seems… reasonable"
"It's more than reasonable"
He dipped his head, meeting her stare head on, "you seem like a good mom Kay"
"I've had to be" she murmured, "and she's turned out pretty great so…"
"I'll be back" he nodded, "because our little girl deserves her daddy and I'm ready to fight for her. I'll prove everyone wrong"
She would have to see it to believe it.
