Chapter 35: Hale Cabin

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Wolf

Derek had been driving for at least three hours when he finally pulled up to his destination.

Looking up at the old family cabin Derek can't help but let some of the memories fill his mind.

He remembered the way the cabin uses to smell of his mother cooking. Laura, Cora, and he used to swim in the river behind the cabin. The porch swing that Derek and his father finish just before the fire.

Clearing his mind of the memories before his mind took him to the dark times. This was going to be a weekend making new and better memories for the future.

Plus Derek had his one agenda for coming here.

"Junior, Amber wake up we're here?" Derek said after parking the car. Turning to the back seat he see both twin eyes flutter open.

"Where are we?" Amber asked before letting out a yawn.

"My family's cabin." Derek said turning back to look up at the cabin.

The twins follows their dad eyes to an old log cabin. It wasn't big like the manor but they could sense the homey feel of the cabin. Looking around at their surroundings they noticed they were surrounded by woods giving them the privacy they wanted.

Not that the twins didn't like being surrounded by pack they did, but sometimes they all just wanted time with their parents. They both agreed earlier today at school that they would get to know more about their dad. The man they've grew up listening to stories about.

"It's beautiful" Amber awed once her eye landed back on the cabin.

"My great grandfather built this for my great grandmother as a wedding gift." Derek said a smile on his face. "It's been in the family ever since."

"When was the last time you've been here?" Junior asked hoping he didn't bring up bad memories for his dad.

"A month before you guys showed up in Beacon Hills" Derek said. "I was putting new furniture in since the old furniture was old and rotting after twenty years."

"Can we go inside?" Amber asked.

"Yeah" Derek said unlocking the doors and handing Amber the keys so she can open the door to the cabin. "I'll wake your mom."

The twins were walking up the steps to the cabin when Derek turned to look over at the passenger seat where Stiles slept.

"Stiles" Derek called her name his voice light. There was no sign that Stiles heard him.

"Stiles, baby wake up" He tried again this time his hand reaching out to tuck her hair behind her ear. Stiles stirred at the contact.

Lightly running his hand down her face he calls her name again. This time she turns her head into the light touch her eyes fluttering open. "Hey sleepy head we're hear." The alpha said smiling at Stiles.

Giving him a smile before stretching, Stiles then looks straight ahead at the log cabin. "Where are we?" She said glancing over at the Derek.

Derek watches as the twins come walking outside towards the car. "A small town in California called Sliver Ville."

"Dad this place is amazing" Amber said once she opened up the back door on Derek side while Junior did the same on Stiles side. They both garb their bags before giving their parents a quick 'hurry up' and going back in the cabin.

"Want to see the inside?" Derek asked.

Stiles smiled "of course."

To say the inside of the cabin was beautiful wouldn't be suitable maybe breathtaking cause that's what happen to Stiles when she walked in the cabin.

The living room was the first room she saw when she walked in. Stepping down the two stairs she takes in the decor of the room.

Mahogany wooden floors, a stone fireplace, built in shelves in the corner, two brown recliner chairs and a brown couch in the middle of the two chairs. A wooden coffee table a few feet away from the couch.

Looking to the left Stiles seen two more steps heading into another room. These steps unlike the ones she had just walked down was made out of stone.

"That's the kitchen" Derek said seeing where Stiles was looking. "Upstairs are where Junior and Amber rooms would be?" Stiles looks up to see an upstairs to see six doors.

"It's five bedrooms and a restroom upstairs and two bedrooms and a bathroom on the floor." Derek said. "Downstairs is the Den."

"So where is our room?" Stiles asked.

Derek taked her hand in his as he leads her out of the living room to the right side of the cabin until they come to a closed door.

"This is our room" Derek said opening the door. Stiles steps into the room leaving the rolling luggage bag by the dresser that is has a flat screen on the top.

She takes a seat on the soft king size bed. Her body just wanting to lay back and sleep. Another pregnancy symptoms that really took most of her day away from her.

"Are you still sleepy?" Derek asked noticing Stiles eyes fighting to stay open.

"Just a little"

Derek takes a seat on the bed next to Stiles pulling her feet into his lap as he takes her shoes off before climbing in to bed next to her. "Well just rest for a few minutes then I can finish giving you the tour."

"Yeah" Stiles agrees snuggling into Derek. "Let's do that."

Unfortunately after that adults fell asleep and slept for the rest of the night.

Saturday

"Hey buddy" Derek said stepping outside of the cabin the February winter air blowing in his face after seeing Junior standing on the porch looking out into the woods. The morning sky was dark being that it was just five in the morning. Derek usually time for his early morning run to clear is head.

Junior turns to look at his dad noticing his attire. A grey long sleeve shirt, black jogging pants, and a pair old worn out black running shoes. "Hey dad" sending his dad a smile. "Going on your morning run?" He asked already knowing the answer.

Derek nods. "Yeah"

"Mind if I run with you." Junior ask. Knowing that his dad runs alone every morning through the woods back in Beacon Hills, Junior always wanted to run with him just so he could hang out with his dad alone, something he always longed for when he was growing up.

"Sure" The older Hale says before pausing ", but I warning you now I'm running around the woods at least three times." He arches a brow looking at his son "Think you can keep up with me?"

Junior meets Derek's gaze with challenging look. "The real question is old man is can keep up with me?"

Derek shakes his head a smile playing on his lips. "Where do you get this boasting traits from?"

"Mom said it's a Hale traits." Junior replies, before slipping back into the cabin to retrieve a pair of shoes.

"Ready" Junior asked once he's back outside on the porch. He had also decided to throw on a dark green long sleeve over his t-shirt he was wearing since he woke up, he kept the black sweat pants on with the added addition of the black tennis shoes.

Instead of answering Derek dashes towards the woods. "Hey! Not fair dad!" Junior yell before jumping off the porch to catch up with Derek.

Afte the third time around the woods Derek and Junior made it back to the cabin. The sun was now up and it was a warmer than it was at five. They could smell the aroma of bacon, pancakes, and eggs being cooked from inside the cabin.

"God that food smells good." Junior said his mouth already watering just from the smell.

"It really does" Derek agrees. He then pulls off the grey long sleeve shirt that is not drenched in his sweat before sitting on the steps of the cabin.

Junior eyes travel to his dad's back where the big black triskelion tattoo is. "So is this a Hale symbol, or pack symbol?"

"What?" Derek looks over at Junior who standing up beside him.

"The triskelion" Junior said taking a seat next to his dad. ",the one on your back, the same symbol carved into the swing, and from the stories mom used to tell us that symbol showed up a lot when dealing with anything Hale."

"That's a Stilinski trait right there" Derek said smirking at Junior. ", the need to know something that might be important or mysterious."

"Dad!" Junior said looking blankly at his dad.

Sighing Derek answers his question. "Both actually" he runs his hand through his now damp hair. ", see in the old days werewolf packs each used to have their own symbol of recognition, so that any supernatural being that came across a pack would know who they belong too. The triskelion is my family" Derek pause and looks at Junior. ", our family symbol."

"When did you get yours?" Junior asked hoping his dad knew he was talking about the tattoo on his back.

"When I was sixteenth." The older Hale said. Junior sees a bit of sadness and anger cross on his dad face. "A year after the fire that killed my family."

"Hey" Junior said putting a hand on his dad shoulder in a reassuring way. "It's not your fault."

"But it is" Derek mumbles, but thanks to werewolf hearing Junior hears it clear as day.

"No it's Kate's and Gerard fault" Junior said remembering the story his mom told Amber and him of how the Hale fire happen. "They used you...preyed on you vulnerability of just loosening Paige" Junior feels the muscles under his hand tense up but keeps going. "I bet if your mom and family was here today they wouldn't blame you...They would take you in their arms and tell you how proud of the man you've become, because after all of the death and betrayal that has followed you have never given up and have brought the Hale name out of the aches to raise higher than before."

Derek can't help but been blow away by his son words. Looking at his son with new found love and respect seeing not a young boy, but a young man who will make a great alpha one day. Pulling his son into a one armed hug "I thought was the parent, not the other way around?"

"Well what can I say I'm that good?" Junior jokes. He knows it works when he hears his dad laughs.

"I love you buddy" Derek said pulling his arm from around Junior shoulder.

Instead of one of his normal sarcastic answers like 'who doesn't love me' or 'Join the bandwagon of Derek Hale Jr.' Junior smiled. "Love you too dad."

"Hey guys, the food is- Jesus Christ you guys stink" Amber said causing her face to scrunch up in disgust.

"Hey little sis love you too" Junior said standing up from off the steps. He gives his twin a fake smile as he walks towards the door.

Amber watches a Junior fake smile turn more conning reminding her a little of uncle Peter smirks. "Come on why don't you give your brother a hug" Junior said reaching out to pull Amber into a sweaty hug.

Amber quickly moves back avoiding her brother reach. "Junior stop you stink!" She yells as she backs away in the house. Looking over to her dad who just walked in behind Junior. "Daddy make him stop and go take a shower." She pleads with her green eyes.

"Only if I can get a good morning hug" Derek offers.

Amber is now standing behind one of the recliner chairs while Junior stands in front. "Eww no you stink too!" She said her face once again showing disgust, then back to it sweet innocent face. "No offense."

"Well I guess I go take my shower then" Derek smirks. "Junior" the alpha calls getting his son attention "get a hug in there for me."

Junior smiles gets bigger and more evil when he meets his sister wide eye expression. "Well do dad."

"MOM!" Amber screams at the top of her lungs.

"Derek Lee Hale Jr!" Stiles yells as she comes out of the kitchen standing with her hands on her hips, foot tapping the stone floor rapidly. "What are you doing to your sister?"

The smile on Junior face as disappeared and now replaced by a wounded puppy look. "Nothing-"

"He's lying!" Amber yells making her way over to her mom her own smirk appearing on her face as Junior send her a death glare.

"I was just trying to give her a hug?" Junior said his voice light.

Derek makes the mistake of chuckling making Stiles turn her heated gaze on him. "And you are no better than him." Stiles said pointing her finger at the Alpha. As Derek goes to open his mouth Stiles silence him with a look that he translated as Did-I-Say-You-Could-Speak. "How would you like it if I was to throw you breakfast in the garbage!"

"Stiles" Derek said at the same time Junior said "mom"

"I'm not done talking!" Stiles snaps. "I'm pregnant and do you know what one of the worst side effects of being pregnant is?"

"Cranky, emotional, nausea and gas" Junior said pointing out some of the symptoms he think his mom would hate, but he looks up to meet her eyes he wish he would have just kept his mouth close.

"Well you'll be wrong mister funny guy...it would be I can smell everything, and all I smell right now is you two stinking up the joint. So get you stinking werewolf asses in the shower before your food gets cold!"

"Yes ma'am" Both boys say their head hanging low as they turn to got to their own shower.

"This is all your fault" Junior whispers to his dad. "You had to knock her up and now she's crazy"

"What was that?" Stiles demands.

"Nothing" both werewolves say before rushing out of the room.

Once Amber and Stiles are alone, Amber turns to her mom with a big smile. "Aunt Lydia would be so proud of you."

After their shower both Derek's' came down to join Stiles and Amber for breakfast to say the two guys were hungry would be an understatement. They devoured the breakfast leaving no leftovers.

The day went by quickly with all the family moments. With Junior and Amber run through the woods flipping and hanging off trees. For a while Derek had joined them which turned into the twins wrestling the Alpha to the ground.

Stiles watched from the porch swing as the three wolves played around. She couldn't keep the smile off her face when she'll see Amber and Junior tackle Derek to the ground or when Derek outright laugh when he'd counter their attack. Stiles truly realizes that this is all she needs for the rest of her life.

When night came they all gathered in the living room to watch Thor part one and two it was Stiles choice and no one wanted a repeat of this morning. So with the twins in both recliner chairs and Derek and Stiles curled up on the couch and began the movie.

Sunday

With the Toyota packed up and ready to go Stiles and the twins wait on Derek who was making sure the cabin was locked up.

At least that what Derek told them before he got out of the Toyota and headed back into the cabin.

Now back in the Cabin Derek heads towards the bedroom he and Stiles shared this weekend. When he makes it in the room he closes the door, but keeping his senses open just in case someone decides to get out the car.

Walking over to the closet Derek reaches up on to the top shelf. "Come on where are you' Derek thinks to himself as his hand roams over the shelf until he feels something familiar.'Gotcha' he thinks grabbing a hold of the item.

Derek can't help the way his heart speeds up a little or the way his hands becoming sweaty as he stares down at the little black square box.

Putting the box in his pocket Derek closes the closet door before walking out of the bedroom and the front door. After locking the door he makes it back to the Toyota.

"Ready" Derek said starting up the car.

With a choruses of 'yes' Derek pulls out of the drive throw. The only thing now on the Alpha mind is when and how will he keep this box from Stiles.

A/N:

Okay I really enjoyed writing this especially Derek and Junior part and Angry Stiles.

And Derek has a little black box.

Until next time.
