Next chapter will be the last chapter for this fic! It's going to be a massive time jump to after Cora's had the baby so you can see how they've all changed and how Cora and Boyd are coping. Alot of it will be in Dani's head, sort of like a journal entry, so you can get a proper look at how things are. Sorry to end on such a short notice but my to new fics have blown up and i'm working all the time and I just can't keep up with any of these odd fics here and there. Feel free to check out my nw Teen Wolf fic 'Guts Over Fear: Take Two' and my new Supernatural fic 'Carry On My Wayward Son'. I'm really looking forward to writing next chapter and hope to have it up in the next couple days! Shout out to Bree and TheMorbidGal for reviewing! Derek will be finding out this chapter! And yay for re-reading! I'm glad you liked it the second time as well TheMorbidGal :)
Dani's p.o.v
"Because i'm the one that's pregnant"
Those words hung in the air. They froze. And everything stopped. Boyd looked like he just had the air knocked out of him, Alicia looking close to the same. Derek, he just looks shocked. Purely shocked.
..
Earlier that day
"Derek, what the hell is wrong with you?" I ask him as he paces the kitchen area.
"There's nothing wrong with me, it's-it's you" he says.
"Excuse me?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
"How could you even think of going out and drinking?" he asks me.
"I'm going with my brothers, what the hell do you think's going to happen?" I ask him.
"Why are you even asking me that? I'm not going to say it" he says.
"You..you think i'd do that to you?" I ask him. Does he think i'll get drunk and cheat? Is that what this is about? "I would never do that to you" I say. "We're just going to have a few quiet drinks"
"How could you?" he asks. "It's..it's dangerous"
"What are you talking about?" I ask, getting so lost.
"I'm not saying it" he says again. "I don't even want to think about it" I narrow my eyes at him. What?
"Wait..is this why you won't sleep with me?" I ask him. He looks at his feet, still pacing. "Okay, stop" I say, grabbing his wrist. He stops, looking at me. There's been a few times when things have gotten heated and starting to go there but he just pulls away and stops. I just thought he wasn't in the mood so I brushed it off. It's not like i'm going to force him to have sex with me. But now..I don't know what the hell's going on in his head. "What the hell's going on?"
"I know, alright?" he says.
"You know what?" I ask him.
"I..I found it. And then I found the rest of them. You didn't do a good job of hiding them, especially when i'm the one that does the cleaning" he sighs, rubbing a hand down his face.
"You lost me" I say, completely confused.
"You know I know so why are you lying to me?" he asks me. "I thought you trusted me? I-I thought you loved me" he says.
"Slow down" I say. "I do trust you and I do love you"
"Then why are you keeping this from me?!" he asks, voice getting angry.
"Why are you yelling?!" I ask, raising my own voice.
"Because it's not fair!"
"What's not fair?!" I yell back. The loft door opens and Cora walks in with Boyd and Alicia. Their eyes widen at us as we yell at each other angerily. Neither of us pay them any mind, too stubborn to give in to the arguement.
"You want me to spell it out for you?!" he asks me, voice getting louder and louder.
"What's going on?" Cora asks. Again, we ignore her.
"Actually, yes! Because I have no friggin' clue of what you're talking about or why you're getting so mad at me for wanting to spend time wth my family! You don't like them, is that it? Or you think i'm gonna get drunk and bed some random guy?! How could you think I would do that to you?!" I stand up, getting in his face the angrier I get.
"Um.." Boyd says, feeling uncomfortable.
"You're putting this on me?" he asks me. "You're the one keeping secrets! For days now! And I think I have a right to know!" he shouts, sounding hurt.
"I'm not keeping anything from you!" I tell him. "Now tell me what's wrong" I say. He sighs again, looking stressed. "I swear to god Derek-"
"I know you're pregnant" he cuts me off. The loft falls dead quiet. My eyes widen. Everything falls into place. How he's been acting strange with me lately. He found all the tests and he thought they were mine. Damn. There's no way out of this. Cora meets my eyes, her face falling. "And i'm pissed you didn't tell me, okay? That's what this is about" he says, voice alot calmer as he moves to walk away from me.
"Wait" I say. He stops, turning to me.
"Why? So you can lie or come up with some excuse?" he asks, angry but hurt as well.
"Okay, stop" Cora says, walking over to us.
"Cora" I say to her, not sure what she's going to do.
"Stop it" she says, looking between us.
"I guess Cora already knew, right?" Derek asks me. "You tell my sister before you tell me?" he asks. He looks away, eyes turning glassey. My eyes start to water and I have nothing to say. There's nothing I can say. Anything I tell him is going to spill Cora's secret and I swore I wouldn't do that.
"Enough!" it's Cora's turn to yell.
"Cora, stay out of this" Derek warns her.
"Can you shut up for 5 seconds?" she grounds out, getting angry herself.
"Why? So-"
"Because i'm the one that's pregnant" she says strongly, standing her ground. A whole nother level of silence fills the loft. I bow my head, squeezing my eyes shut. I know that's not how Cora wanted to tell Derek and Alicia, especially not Boyd. Boyd looks like he might pass out. Alicia's eyes are bugging out of her head and Derek..Derek just looks shocked. "I went to Dani for help. And she said she wouldn't tell anyone until I was ready to tell people" Cora tells her brother. "So if you wanna be mad at someone, be mad at me" she says. Derek looks over at Boyd, face set hard. He looks as though he's going to go over there and 'have a word' with the boy but his eyes fall to his younger sister standing beside him. Cora turns to Boyd as well. "I'm so sorry you had to find out this way" she tells him, getting teary eyed herself.
"It's-it's okay" he says, snapping out of his trance. He walks over to Cora with Alicia. "We're gonna have a baby?" he asks her, a smile coming to his suprised face. She nods quickly and Boyd quickly engulfs the girl into a hug. Alicia hugs into Cora's stomach and I smile softly, happy Boyd's as accepting as Cora and I both hoped. Cora pulls back and wipes her eyes with her sleeve. She looks at Derek who still looks to be processing the information. She looks at me and I give her apologetic eyes for her brother's reaction, more so lack of.
"Derek?" Cora calls out. "Please say something" she says. He looks up at her. "Derek?" he quickly turns around and walks straight out, letting the door slam shut behind behind him. I feel my stomach drop as Cora starts to cry. Boyd holds her, giving me pleading eyes. I nod and get up, going after him.
"Derek!" I call after him, catching up to him. I grab his arm and he pulls away from me.
"You lied to me" he says, turning to me.
"I kept her secret, I didn't lie" I correct him. "You need to go back in there and comfort your sister" I tell him.
"She..she's.." he struggles to say. I know he didn't walk out to spite her, he walked out because he couldn't handle what he just heard. Cora's been everything to him for a long time. And things are changing far too fast for him to be comfortable with.
"Yeah, she is. And she's gonna need you as well" I tell him.
"But..she's just a kid. Now she's having a kid? Dani, I..she's so young" he stresses. I know he's worried about her, that much is clear.
"Hey" I say, taking his hands in mine. "She's 18 now. And she has us and she has Boyd. They're gonna be okay, alright? I promise you she'll be fine" I assure him. He sighs. "Come on, we have a couple to congratulate" I say.
"I'm really sorry..for all those things I said to you back there" he says.
"It's okay"
"It's not. I was way out of line" he says.
"I get it. You thought I was carrying your baby and I was about to go off drinking"
"Still" he says, still frowning.
"Don't worry about it. It was a misunderstanding. Let's just go back in there, okay?" I say. He nods and we start to walk back in, hand in hand. Cora looks up from Boyd's shoulder when we walk back in. "Go on" I say to Derek, dropping his hand. He gives me an unsure look. I smile and nod. Boyd pulls away from Cora, stepping back. Derek walks over to her and hugs his sister tightly. I smile softly at them, feeling myself starting to get emotional. I go over to Boyd and Alicia. "Congratulations" I say to Boyd, giving him a hug.
"Thank you" he says. "For being there for her, for everything you've done for us" he says with a soft smile. I smiles back. I was the one that sort of helped them together in the first place. And I don't regret it at all.
"I'll always be here, Derek and I both will be" I assure the male. We both turn and look at Derek and Cora.
"I'm so sorry I kept this from you" Cora sobs.
"It's okay, we're okay" Derek tells her as they hug.
"I'm so sacred Derek..I don't know what i'm doing" she admits.
"You're gonna be fine, we're all here for you" he assures her. He pulls back enough to look at her. "I'm so proud of you. And Mom and Dad and everyone would be proud too" he tells her. Cora sobs again, clinging to her brother tightly. Yeah, Cora's got all of us. And she's going to be just fine.

Yelling and everyone getting angry! :O But now they know! Remember, last chapter next chapter! I want to make it really long, so..should I show a few flashbacks or whatever of her during pregnancy? I've done alot of pregnancy writing so I don't want to write heaps of chapters on it. But I could do a really long chapter where I show during pregnancy and life after the birth and even a little into the future? I like that idea :) I even have a little twist in mind for the ending ;) Favourite, follow and review!
