Chapter 5: New Beginnings
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Wolf
Stiles P.O.V.
'Hey Derek I'm home.' A female voice said coming from the direction of the house. I looked up at Derek to see he has turn to look at the woman that was calling him, but instead of glaring like he did years ago at people his right eye had a little twitch. If I wasn't looking I would have missed it.
"What do you want Diana" Derek said through clenched teeth.
Diana started walking towards us but stop when she looked at me. She looked at me as if I had imposed on her territory but she quickly regains her composure that Derek didn't seem to catch but I did. As she started to walk towards us again I took in her appearances.
Diana had medium length blonde hair but if you look at her roots you could tell her natural hair color was reddish brown color. Her eyes her were hazel and Diana skin looks like it was kissed by the sun. She was wearing a white Louis Vuitton dress that stops mid thigh and for her shoes she had white Louis Vuitton shoes. I'm not a hater so I could admit the woman was beautiful.
"Do I know you, you look really familiar?" I asked Diana.
Diana smile at me "I don't know people tell me I have one of those faces."
" Yeah I guess you're right." I say.
"Sorry don't want to sound like a bitch but who are you and why are you here." Diana says as she looks me up and down.
Derek gives off a little growl at Diana "she's no one you need to worry about and she's welcome here anytime she wants to be here.
At Derek's statement I take in the look of shock on Diana face I'm guessing Derek never spoke to her like that before and I would be lying if I say it didn't make me smile at the way Derek was trying to be protective of me.
"It's okay Der." I say as I put my hand on his shoulder which causes Derek whole to body relax.
"Awe that's so cute you call him Der but let me tell you honey he doesn't like nicknames trust me I tried." Diana said in a sweet tone.
"Well good thing I'm not you huh." I say taking my hand off of Derek's should and I maybe sounded like a bitch but I really couldn't care the bitch just told me that she tried to give my man a nickname.
By the glare from Diana I guessing she didn't enjoy the tone of my voice.
Derek clears his throat to get our attention. "Why are you here Diana on the day of my pack gathering?"
Diana shrugs "I maybe forgot you were having pack gathering today until I pulled up with my moving bags." Diana smiles then gives me a quick glance before looking back at Derek.
"So you are living here." I asked looking between Derek who right eye is twitching again and Diana who smile just got wider.
"Unfortunately." Derek mutters under his breath but I was able to hear it and by the eye roll from Diana she heard it too.
"Well I guess I will let you two talk about your new living arrangements... I'll just go inside and check on everyone and checkup." As I turn to leave I feel Derek's hand grab my wrist when I look into his face I see the face of a broken man trying to hold on to everything that he's wanted for so long slipping away from him.
"Stiles don't leave okay." Derek voice sounds so raspy.
"I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." I say looking up a Derek with a small smile. Promise you that." I say as my eyes glance over at Diana who looks like she just wants to rip me apart.
Derek let's go of my wrist so I can go back into the house with everyone else. Just as I get to the back door I hear Diana voice. "So that's Stiles?" Then I hear Derek reply "Yeah that's Stiles my mate." and with that I walk into the house with a smile on my face.
While Derek was outside talking I had made my way back to my friends. We had talked about what we all have been doing for the last fourteen years.
Scott had gotten his veterinarian licenses and now helps Dr. Deaton at clinic. Isaac works as a social worker so he can help kids that are in abused homes like he did. Monica works at the hospital with Scott's mom as a pediatric nurse which is how she met Isaac. Jackson followed in his father's footsteps and became a big time lawyer known all over California. Lydia works at biomedical research company ten minutes out of Beacon Hills doing tissue, genetic and pharmaceutical engineering which sounds like something Lydia would definitely be able to excel at. Danny works at biometric company creating and test different security systems and devices that go into are supposed to keep people safe which Danny has supplied the pack with. They told me Derek and a friend of his started automotive company where Derek is head mechanic where he builds up the car or upgrade it with his own crew, while his businesses partner whom they call Jay is the head salesman with his own crew. They told me about Boyd joining the police force which I kind of already knew thanks to my dad he told me how Boyd is one of the best officers he have on his force and everybody enjoys his presence.
Erica had become an event planner from weddings to funerals.
"That sounds like the perfect career for you Erica." I say as Erica gives me a smile "I know right…Oh my God Stiles you should totally be in Lydia's and Jackson vow renewal ceremony that they having in two months." Erica says as she jumps up and run out of the family/living room. I was about to protest when Lydia spoke up.
"Oh My God that perfect Stiles you have to do it." Lydia says giving me a big smile. I was about to say no when I heard Amber speak.
"She will love too." Amber says which gets her a glare for me but she just gives me a sad look. "Yeah mom I mean you don't go anywhere without Malcolm or Amber and I." Junior says as he comes into the living room followed by the rest of the pack kids. "Plus you're the one always saying you miss hanging out with your friends." Amber says but her sentence is finished by Junior. "So this is the perfect opportunity for you to hang at like old times." Then both Amber and Junior say "Look at the bright side we will be there to keep away the douchebags."
Just then Erica walks back into the living room with a big white binder looking at Lydia "Lydia are you thinking what I'm thinking."
Lydia looks at Erica face which is now sporting a menacing smirk I know that smirk that means she's up to no good, then I look over at Lydia whose face is now sporting the same smirk as
Erica.
"Yes, yes I am….I mean she doesn't even want to go and I would be lying if I say I wouldn't care if she didn't come." Lydia says with an eye roll which Erica nods in agreement that turns to look at Amber and Junior standing by me "and these two can walk with-" "Oh God yes, that perfect." Lydia says with a big smile that reaches her eyes.
"Okay what's going on?" I ask because I have no idea what they are trying to do.
Allison is the one who answers my question. "Well they're thinking Scott Jr. and Amber walk down together." At that statement I notice out of the corner of my eye Amber face lights up.
"I don't have a problem with that." Scott Jr. rushes out a little too quickly wish gets a big smile and a nod from Amber while everyone else laughs.
"Not another Scott and Allison I can only deal with one of those at one time." Jackson says before he puts another spoon full of mash potatoes in his mouth.
Well what about me who am I….oh please no." Christina asks when everybody stops laughing but stops when realization hits her if she not walking with Scott Jr. any more that only leaves Junior.
Junior seems to have come to the same realization as Christina. "Oh please don't… I would rather eat a bunch of wolfs bane." That just got him laughs from the adults and a glare from Christina. "We could arrange that you know I have no problem with that." Christina says with an eye roll.
"They are another Derek and Stiles." Scott says with a huge grin on his face. Everybody but Christina and Junior laugh at that.
"So who would my mom be walking with?" Amber asks trying to change the subject.
"Oh yeah she will be walking with Derek of course." Lydia says as if it's no big deal.
At that realization I try to hide the small smile that comes on my face but everyone catches it and start to laugh. "What's so funny?" I hear Derek voice comes from behind me and when I turn around he's right behind me and all I can do is look into his green eyes that I have seen for the last fourteen years in both of our children and dream about.
"Hi." I say looking into his eyes because that all I can get out through the lump in my throat.
"Hi" Derek says back with a small smile on his face while he's looking into my eyes. The way Derek is looking me cause me to become a little nervous because I haven't been look at like this in years which makes me self-conscious. I swallow the lump of nervousness in my throat to try to say something but then I see Derek eyes dart down to make throat and neck then I hear a low growl from Derek and I see his green eyes start to change a dark red color. I would be kidding myself if I said that didn't turn me on a little and I guessing by the way Derek red eyes glow brighter I can smell my arousal which means the others can too.
"Get a room I don't want to smell you two I am trying to eat." Jackson spat which cause Derek and I to take a few steps away from each other.
Diana than walks into the living room with her face scrunch I'm guessing she was smelt the after effects of our arousal. "What are you people talking about?" She asks as she sits on one of the couches in the living room.
"Oh nothing just the renewal ceremony" Lydia says with no emotion.
I notice how Diana rolls her eyes like she getting annoyed before she replies, "Oh yeah, that reminds me I don't think I will be back from Florida in time for the ceremony Soooo." Diana says giving them a look that read so what are you going to do about it.
"Well that's okay Stiles can take your place right." Scott says looking at Diana. Diana turns to look at me with wide eyes I and I just gave her a raise eyebrow what didn't know I was taking her place which means she was supposed to walk with Derek so of course I'm going to take it.
Diana regains her normal expression "Well that's just wonderful I can spend more time with my friends in Florida." Diana says giving us fake smile.
"So mom's going to walk with dad right" Amber asks looking at Erica who is writing in that binder of hers I guessing has the details of the ceremony.
"Yeah" Allison says.
Diana jumps up quickly and for the first time look at everyone in the living room until she came to looking at Amber sitting on the couch next to Scott Jr. then looks at Junior who is standing by Amber.
"Oh my god you are Derek's children." Diana says her voice is almost a whisper.
"Nothing gets pass you Captain Obvious" Junior says giving Diana two thumbs up.
Diana starts to rub her temple then turns around and heads out of the living but not before complain about getting a headache.
"Werewolves don't get headache." Amber says after a few minutes of silence.
"She does that a lot when she's upset." Christina says rolling her eyes "She's kind of a Drama Queen."
Junior was about to reply to Christina little comment when I gave him a look that said if you reply to that you will be sorry.
Well the rest of the day consisted of the girls and I talk about the ceremony and the dress that Amber and I will have to go shopping for some time next week. Junior had snuck back upstairs with the Scott Jr. and Lucas and the rest of the little boys. The adult males were outside playing dominos and horseshoes.
"Oh my god Lydia we still haven't got the cater for the ceremony. Erica says taking out her phone.
"It's okay my mom can do it the catering I mean that's why she went to culinary school in the first place and you are the best cook I've ever known." Amber says looking at me.
"Yeah, Stiles please at least I know you and I've had you food." Lydia says then looks around at Allison and Erica "We all have and we miss it so please do this."
"Okay fine I'll do it." I say than the next thing I know I'm in at the bottom of a dog pile of happy women.
After we finish all the new arrangements and have eaten I look at my phone to see that it is almost ten thirty at night which means I have to go so Amber and Junior can be rested for their first day of their new school.
"Amber, Junior it's time to go." I yell knowing they can hear me from upstairs.
"Coming" They both say together.
As I wait on my kids I give everybody hugs and goodbyes and tell them I will see them tomorrow since Amber & Junior and be catch rides home or should I say to Derek's house every day after school.
"Okay mom we're ready." Junior says coming down the stairs followed by Amber who's followed by Scott Jr. and Christina. I turn to throw Junior my car keys and tell him to go start the car.
"Well I see you guys tomorrow." Junior says to everyone in the room and turn to give Scott Jr. some secret handshake the have made. "Blondie" he says with a nod which gets an eye roll which makes him laugh "DJ" Christina replies before Junior goes out of the front door.
"Well I had fun and glad I finally had a chance to meet you guys." Amber says to the adults. She then turns towards Scott Jr. and gives him a kiss on the cheek which makes Scott Jr. sport a wide grin on his face "See you tomorrow Scotty." "See you tomorrow Amber." Scott Jr. says.
"Oh Chrissy don't forget to bring that skirt tomorrow." Amber tells Christina who nods "As long as you don't forget that jacket I seen on your phone." "Deal" Amber says before she turns to look at her dad "I'll see you tomorrow evening daddy yo" Then heads outside to the car.
After Amber and Junior made their farewells for the night I called Malcolm and told him we're on our way back to the house so turn the light on the porch on. When I hang up the phone I turn to see that everyone was gone well except for Derek. Derek stood there looking at me like he did earlier today when we were in the living room.
"Ummm…where is everyone?" I asked as Derek starts to walk towards me like I'm his prey.
"They are in the backyard." he says. "I'll walk you out." He says gesturing toward the front door.
"Okay." I say and turn towards the front door followed by Derek.
"So I hear you co-own your own automotive company." I say just out of the blue.
"Yeah it's called Fiable Automotive." Derek says when he looks at me I'm guessing he could see the confuse look on my face "It's Spanish it means reliable."
"Yeah I know that I was just wondering why Spanish." I say.
"Well because it was my business partner idea to start this company and he's Spanish so I let him name it and I actually like the name." Derek says with a smile.
"Where this company of your no one told me?" I ask as we approach my jeep where I Junior listen to his IPod and I can on assume Amber is texting one of her friends back in Washington.
"The old abandon train station I used to live in all those years ago." He says as we come to stand in front of the Jeep.
"Oh." I say as Derek opens the driver side door for me. Before I get in the car I turn to face Derek only to be met with a pair of green eyes looking at me intensely.
"Well thanks for letting us crash your pack gathering." I say looking up into those green eyes I dream about every night.
Derek eyes quickly change from an intense look to a pained look before he replies "You three are pack no matter what so you really didn't crash." He says and for some reason that makes me happy that he still sees me as pack and now he has accepted our kids as pack also.
"Well thank you…Ummm we should get going." I say.
Derek just nods "Be carefully." He says.
I don't know why but before I got in my Jeep I leaned up and gave Derek a little kiss on the cheek than quickly got back in the jeep with a quick bye from Amber and I and nod from Junior we drove off while Derek stood there I guessing until my Jeep disappeared out of his sight.
"So who are you texting late at night?" I ask Amber looking in the rearview mirror.
I see her face blossoms into a big smile before she looks at me and answer "Scotty."
Great Jackson was right another Allison and Scott in the making.
Sorry about the wait I just kept re-writing the chapter and it always came out differently but I got some great ideas from them too.
