Shout out to Bre and Shreya for reviewing! Sounds like my readers want a baby girl. We'll just have to see, won't we ;) Bre, you can always guess what i'm already thinking :) This one's a short chapter of them coming home again, and a little suprise thrown in ;) After this chapter, the chapters will time jump as we go through her pregnancy. Don't worry, I will expand on the 'suprise', I won't leave that as a cliffhanger. I'm not sure if i'll keep this fic going after the baby's born but we'll see. There could be anywhere between 8-10 chapters left of this fic I think, but again, we'll see. Enjoy :)
Jade's p.o.v
Deaton and Melissa decide to wait for us, coming back to Beacon Hills with us. The window's are down, wind whipping through my hair. I stick my head out the window, enjoying the free feeling. I look down the car finding Cora doing the same thing out her window. I smile and her and she returns it.
"I guess this is goodbye then" Derek says awkwardly, standing in front of Cora.
"Goodbye?" she repeats. "I'm coming back with you, idiot" she chuckles.
"Really?" he asks, smiling widely now.
"Yes really. Jade's gonna need more than your dumbass helping her out" Cora grins. I laugh at that. "I'm sure you can give baby sister a loft to stay in for the mean time, right big bro?" she says.
"Sure" Derek chuckles, pulling her into a hug.
I'm so glad Cora decided to come back with us. Derek misses her, even though he never admits it.
..
We all go back to mine and Scott's house. I sigh in relief, sprawling myself out on the couch when we walk inside.
"Oh my god, i've never been so happy to see this old couch before" I smile. Everyone does what they did at Cora's, all pile into the lounge and sit down, relaxing. Stiles flicks the tv on, some comedy playing on the tv getting everyone's attention. I chuckle lightly at the picture of us all. We're just one big dysfuctional family and I couldn't be happier about it.
"I should probably take Cora back to the loft, give her the rest of the day to unpack, settle in" Derek says. I nod in understanding. I kiss him lightly in goodbye. Cora didn't bring much, a couple bags, a box. She needs some time to herself to settle in back into Beacon Hills again. I look back at Derek when he hasn't moved.
"You okay?" I ask him. He looks nervous. Oh.. "Derek, we'll be fine. Take Cora home" I assure him.
"I just.." he trails off.
"Derek" Scott says, getting his attention. "She'll be fine, you have my word" he says. Derek thinks it over for a second before nodding. He leans down and kisses my stomach, making me smile softly.
"Bye Zuko" he grins, getting back to his feet. I wave goodbye to him and Cora as the siblings leave. I know Derek's getting over the whole 'I have to look like one tough son of a bitch in front of the pack' thing. Especially when it comes to his baby. If the pack are as smart as I know they are, they won't tease him about how he acts towards me and baby. I'm a little worried Scott and Stiles won't get that memo.
"That baby's already got Derek wrapped around her little finger" Lydia chuckles. I laugh too, nodding in agreement. She definitely does. When the doorbell rings, I get up to answer it. I open the door, our friendly mailman smiles at me.
"Good afternoon, package here for a Jade McCall" he says, holding a clipboard.
"Uh..that-that's me" I say, confused and a little shocked at the use of my original surname.
"Sign here please" he says, handing me the clipboard, completely unphased at my stutter. I sign it and hand it back. "And this is for you" he says, handing over a tissue box sized package. "Have a good evening Miss McCall" he says in goodbye.
"Thanks" I say quietly. He smiles and walks away. I close the door, eyes glued to the box. I take it to the kitche table, sitting down. I don't how long I just stare at it, not moving.
"Jade?" Scott says, walking into the kitchen.
"I'm okay" I assure him, eyes still on the box.
"What's that?" he asks, coming to sit down beside me.
"It's uh..it's for me" I say.
"Are you gonna open it?" he asks, frowning at my quietness.
"I don't think so" I say.
"Jade? What's wrong?" he asks, bringing a hand to my back. I finally look away from the package, moving it in front of Scott. "For Jade M..McCall" he reads out the address label. He looks back up at me. "Maybe..maybe you should open it. Just find out who it's from" he suggests. I bite my lip nervously, nodding. He moves to get up. I catch his arm.
"Stay" I say. He nods, sitting back down. I grab the package and take a deep breath, starting to open it. When the wrapping's gone, I inhale deeply. I need to make sure i'm not stepping into a trap or something. My real last name was only revealed on the deadpool. I smell nothing off. Smells..new? I open the box, eyes widening at what I see.
"What is it?" Scott asks. I pull out a small blue jumpsuit. There's a beanie to match and the tiniest fluffy socks. I bite my lip, feeling tears prick my eyes. These are baby clothes. Under everything, there's a note. With shaky hands I grab it, opening it and reading it.
Congratulations Jade.
We look forward to meeting our grand-daughter.
-D & M McCall
I can't help it. I start crying.
"Jade-" Scott tries. I get up and rush into my room, closing the door and leaning againist it. I slide down it so i'm sitting on the floor. I cover my mouth with my hands to hold back my sobs, tears pouring down my cheeks. I only know 2 things about my parents. 1- they abandoned me not long after I was born. And 2- their names.
Dawn and Mark McCall.
