Decided to do something a little different. This whole chapter is Jade's thoughts, sort of like a diary entry. Shout out to nosferatufan, Shreya, Bre and OnlyTeenWolf for reviewing! Yes, loving Aunt Cora as well! And I just had to make Derek stronger than Scott. Noone can be stronger than him, I mean really? Pfft. Damn..you guys are smart! I'm confirming it right here! Her baby will be fire kitsune!
Jade's p.o.v
It's been 3 days. And nothing. Even Deaton says Beacon Hills has been quiet. It's nerve-wracking. The pack's kept up with training. I've kept up with sitting down and practicing with water. I haven't been able to boil the water or make it bubble again, we're all still confused about that, even Deaton's stumped. I've been told to focus, pay attention to myself, what I feel and what I can do. Hopefully that will shed a little more light on the mysterious ability to heat liquid and we can figure it out. That's not the most important thing right now though, keeping our eyes and ears open for Araya or other hunters is. I've had the pack hovering over me, well until I send them away. The worst ones are Scott and Stiles suprisingly. Cora hangs out with me now and then, the two of us slowly getting to know one another but she's never hovering, she's not checking up on me every 5 seconds. Derek's eased up alot too but I think that's because he sees Cora's with me, the two able to communicate without actually talking. Cora will give him a loopsided smile and a nod and he'll go back to what he was doing, sending her a nod back. But every night he's wrapped around me, holding me close and protectively. I like it though, it helps me sleep, it makes me feel safe. Every day we train together, me off to the side of course, we eat together, we go through exit plans in case we were to be ambushed, we talk about tactics, how we'd fight back. It's weird when I think about it. We're far too comfortable with all this for our age. Normal teenagers should be worried about school, homework. Normal young adults about to become parents should be worried about cravings, getting fat..none of us should be worried about what we're worried about. But this is who we are. And we can't just ignore this. Sometimes, if I think too hard about it all, I get really worried and get upset, sometimes end up in tears. I can't blame it all on pregnancy hormones. Sometimes I am really scared. Sometimes I want to pack a bag and run away by myself, but that's a stupid idea and it wouldn't end well. Sometimes I feel guilty, like i'm a burden. They shouldn't be dragged into this when Araya's only after me. But that's stupid as well. Derek told me the pack would never leave me, that they would never let someone hurt me and baby. And Derek's the same. This is his daughter too and I don't see the older wolf ever thinking of us a burden. Sometimes Derek looks at me or cooes at my stomach like we're all that matters. I have no idea how I got so lucky, falling in love with someone like Derek, finding my family again, becoming a part of a not only powerful but very close-knit and loyal pack. But I wouldn't change anything. I love where I am right now. Sure, I wish their weren't people coming after me and my baby but there is. But I won't let that dominate how I feel. I'm scared, i'm worried about it all but this pack makes me feel safe. And I know that when this is all over, they'll still be here at my side, nothing else will matter, all that matters will be the pack, our family. All that will matter will be raising our daughter. As I think about these things, my eyes scan over the pack. Each one of them is pushing themselves to train, to learn, to protect. I don't think I can put into words how appreciative I am and how much I love this pack. When my Nana died, I thought the supernatural part of my life was over for good. I was happy to get away from hunters and all that but it always saddened me to think back and realise I let it all slip away. But now, i'm in a pack again. And I have to admit, it feels good, it feels really good. I feel their power connected with me, I feel their emotions..they feel like family. Each and every one of them, they..they just feel like coming home.

I actually liked that :) I could see her writing it or reading it out in my head. Hope you got a similiar experience too :) Araya will be catching up with them shortly (sorry to crash the feels train). Favourite, follow and review!
