A/N: Ah so this chapter is going to be one where Stiles & Lydia take their kids to the beach and yeah I hope you like it. Please keep reviewing because seriously they are my favorite thing ever and I appreciate them so much! This chapter might be short and/or lame but it will be pretty fluffy so be warned. Also these chapters probably won't be as strong as my other chapters from the beach trip chapters I did but I really hope you guys like them. Also someone asked me if I was going to do a chapter with a pregnancy scare and the more I've been thinking about it the more I want to do it, so I think I will, just in case you were interested in knowing that information. Otherwise enjoy this chapter!
I AM SO SORRY THIS HAS TAKEN SO LONG! But I've been busy and I wrote something else really quick but yeah it's finally here. And unfortunately it might be awhile until there is another chapter because you know finals are coming very soon. I miss summer where I did a chapter a week but it is what it is. Also in the spirit of the holidays I will probably do a Christmas-y chapter soon too just for your information.
"Do you think things will be awkward or do you think everyone is going to pick up right where they left off?" Stiles asked, glancing at his wife as he drove the SUV en route to the beach house that they were renting for the week.
"Probably a bit odd at first, but I'm sure it won't be for long." Lydia sighed as she scrolled through her iPhone looking for her camera app.
"Yeah probably. It's going to be weird having all of us back together again, just like old times." He mused.
"I'm sure it will be fine, all of you will be acting like teenagers again by the end of the week, I'm sure of it."
"Possibly." He smirked. "Hopefully it will be less supernatural than high school."
"I think we can all agree on that. And it probably won't be that weird we see Scott and Allison all the time, Isaac and Cora probably see Derek and his family all of the time." Derek finally found happiness with a woman who for once wasn't a psychopath, Anabelle, they had two boys and one girl (including a set of twins). Even though Annabelle would have to leave a few days early for work Derek planned on staying at the house with his kids they rented for the full extent of the week. And then there was Derek's sister Cora, she and Isaac were married and they had a daughter due in a few months.
"True."
"Can I just say we totally have the cutest kids ever?" Lydia smiled as she finally found the camera app and snapped a few pictures of her sleeping children. Cassidy slept exactly like her father, in all kinds of weird positions with her mouth hanging wide open, while Noah was a much more graceful sleeper.
"Yes you can and I would totally have to agree with you. Which reminds me, I've wanted to ask you for a while now, are we going to be making any more of those super cute kids?" He questioned as he glanced over at her.
"Um…" she sighed as a small half smile appeared on her face, almost with a hint of hesitancy.
"What? You're not pregnant right now are you?" He asked eyes wide.
"No, Jesus. I was just about to say that I'm totally willing to have another one, just not yet. We still have a baby at this point. I want to make sure he's a bit older and that all hinges on me actually being able to get pregnant." She rambled.
"Okay I get it, no need to get worked up about it. You don't have to ramble even though I think it's kind of adorable when you ramble."
"As do I about your ability to ramble." She stated as she glanced at him through her oversized designer sunglasses.
"But I get it, no babies for a while, but I'm just letting you know that whenever you're ready just let me know and we'll go for it."
"Alright." She sighed. "I think that's a good plan."
"Okay." He paused looking at her; she knew he was still curious.
"What?"
"I mean I guess I was just curious as to when that would be maybe."
"I don't know." She breathed out, thinking to herself. "Maybe once Noah is two or three and Cassidy is in school."
"Alright." He nodded.
"Are you sure you're okay with that?"
"Yes that is completely fine with me, whenever you're ready, I'll be there." He said as he made the turn onto the street where the beach house was at.
"Good" she smiled as he pulled into the driveway where two other cars were already parked and as she grabbed his face by the cheeks. "But I think we should start practicing as soon as possible. I mean if that's okay with you."
"That is definitely okay with me." He communicated as best he could.
"Perfect." She said leaning in and kissing his already puckered lips. Once she released his face from her grip and promptly exited the car leaving her husband a bit frozen for a moment. "Hello, are you going to help me unpack the car or what?"
"Uh…yeah." He shook his head and got out of the driver's seat and headed to the trunk to unpack their many 'necessary' items.
After Lydia gathered up the sleepy (but now awake) kids and Stiles gathered up a pack-and-play and a few of the bags they walked to the front door of the multilevel beach house that the families were renting for the week. Derek's wife, Anabelle greeted them at the door as they entered the house.
"Hey! It's so nice to see you, it's been too long!" The tall brunette with olive toned skin said as she leaned down and gave the petite redhead a side hug.
"I know. It's great to see you though." Lydia replied as her daughter grabbed the hand that wasn't carrying Noah in the car seat.
"Good to see you too Stiles come on in and get unpacked." She said as they shuffled into the house. Downstairs there was a spacious living room with a large sectional sofa and reclining chairs, a bedroom where Derek and his wife would be staying, a bathroom, and a laundry room that connected to the garage.
"Where is everyone else?" Lydia asked as they made their way to the second floor which had two more bedrooms (where the kids would be sleeping for the week), a bathroom, a huge eat-in kitchen, a dining room, and another living room with a fifty inch TV.
"I think everyone's out by the pool. I started cooking lunch so it's ready for when Scott and Allison get here. Everyone will be in soon though, so why don't you guys pick the room you want upstairs and unpack."
"Yeah sounds great." Stiles said as they went upstairs to the top level and put their things in one of the empty rooms. Lydia changed the baby's diaper and began unpacking and organizing while Stiles continued to bring luggage up two flights of stairs to their room. Cassidy entertained her brother who was giggling on the queen size mattress while Stiles and Lydia tried to set up the pack-and-play with the confusing instructions.
"No Stiles I'm pretty sure that doesn't go there."
"How can it be this confusing? This happens every time we use it, you would think we would figure it out by now." He said jostling one of the pieces into place."
"Well this is the new one, we haven't used this one yet. Remember?" She peered at him over the paper instructions.
"Oh…yeah." He said with concentration on his face, finally snapping the last piece in properly. "There I got it!" He exclaimed, standing up from his kneeling position and admiring his work.
"Great. Thank you." She said patting his cheek softly as well as giving him a quick peck on the lips. "Let's go say hi to everyone." She said walking over to the bed, picking up a giggly Noah and kissing his cheek. They ventured down the steps two the second floor where there was a lot of notice being admitted.
"Lydia! Stiles!" A familiar voice emitted, Isaac's. He got up from his lounging position on the couch to greet his friends. Stiles shook his hand and as Cassidy nervously clutched his leg, and Lydia gave him a one armed hug.
"Hey Isaac how are you?"
"I'm good, how are you? I don't think I've met this one yet. I saw him on the Christmas card though." Isaac said gesturing to Noah and making him smile.
"Yeah this is Noah." Lydia said proudly kissing his cheek.
"I remember Cassidy though." Isaac said with a smile as Stiles picked up his daughter.
"Cassidy you do you remember Isaac? You met him before, he's really nice." Stiles encouraged. As far as social skills went Noah took after his mother and Cassidy was definitely shy around new people like Stiles tended to be.
"Yeah I don't bite." Isaac said before winking at Stiles and Lydia, who scoffed slightly at the absurdity of the statement and the whole general situation of everything. After a bit of coaxing she was soon smiling widely at Isaac's antics, he would no doubt, be a great father in a few short months.
Eventually after greeting a six months pregnant Cora, Cassidy went to go play with the three Hale children, Jacob and twins Olivia and Gavin. But she was quick to return to her parents and nestle herself in between them on the couch when Derek yelled at his children for leaving their shoes in front of the door for him to trip on.
"He wasn't yelling at you sweetie it's alright." Lydia said stroking her daughter's own strawberry blonde locks as she continued to keep her head buried in her mother's chest for the time being, not crying just shaking slightly.
"I'm really sorry. My kids are just used to it." Derek stated feeling bad.
"She'll be fine; she's just a little skittish…kind of like her Daddy." Lydia said eyeing her husband, joking at his expense slightly.
"Ha-ha-ha." He joked as he kept an eye on Noah who was crawling around on the living room floor playing with a few toys they had brought from home.
A little bit later Scott and Allison finally arrived with their two children and Cassidy was comfortable again with more familiar faces and her best friend and soon to be cousin, Asher. After everyone was settled they all gathered for a delicious dinner made entirely by Derek's wife and all were excited for their exciting week at the beach.
A/N: Sorry if it was lame but hopefully it gets a bit better (it's hard to write for a lot of characters) but this is it for now and keep an eye out for a Christmas-y chapter. Leave me any comments if you want to see something specific in it! Thanks for reading, love you!
