I woke to my alarm feeling like utter crap. I checked my phone to see if my boyfriend texted me, nothing! Three weeks and nothing. I felt Derek's presence in the bond so he is still alive. Maybe it's taking longer to get Cora home?
" I hate this, it has to be the separation." I said as I felt a dizzy spell hitting me. I sighed, quickly put my hair up in a messy bun and put on one of Derek's v necks. I loved the smell, I grabbed some blue jeans and quickly snagged my boots. I go to my bike and touch it.
" No dizzy spells please." I said as I quickly got my helmet on and rode off to school. When I finally arrived, I checked my phone, no new responses!
" Damn it Derek!" I said lowly. I felt my eyes glow as I stared into my helmet. What? I closed my eyes and calmed down. I opened my eyes and texted Derek.
I don't want to be the clingy type, but its been two weeks please tell me you are alive! Love you. M.
I felt a small headache stirring up. I took deep breaths as I felt slightly sick to my stomach. I shook it off as I parked my bike. I saw Scott running from something. What? Forget my problem for right now.
" Scott?" I called out as I picked up my bag and followed him. I grabbed his shoulder when I was finally able to catch up.
" Hey. Hey, you all right? You don't look all right, Scott." Stiles said as he caught up.
" I'm okay." Scott said quietly as I shook my head. I can tell he isn't ok.
" No, you're not. It's happening to you too. You're seeing things, aren't you?" Stiles asked him.
" How'd you know?" Scott asked as I stood up and put my hand over my mouth. I felt sick.
" Because it's happening to all three of you." Lydia said as she had Allison next to her.
" Well, well, look who's no longer the crazy one." Lydia said as we all went inside the school. I smirked as she bumped me.
" We're not crazy." Allison said as I shrugged.
" Hallucinating? Sleep paralysis? Yeah, you guys are fine." I said with a smirk.
" We did die and come back to life. That's gotta have some side effects, right?" Scott said point blank. The school bell rang out as I clutched my ear, Lydia looked over to me.
" We keep an eye on each other. Okay? And Lydia, stop enjoying this so much." Stiles said as he walked away.
" What?" She asked before I felt another dizzy spell hit me.
" Sweetheart are you ok?" Lydia asked as she walked with me. I crossed my arms around my chest.
" I'm ok, I promise. Just getting dizzy spells. Don't know where Derek is and it sucks." I said as she nodded.
" It's ok." She told me as I nodded.
" I've been feeling off for a week and a half. I don't know if its being away from him for so long." I said as I placed a hand on my shoulder where I showed her the bite scar on my shoulder.
" It's ok, just have your aunt check you." Lydia said as I nodded. I went to class as my headache got slightly worse.
" Miss Rivers?" My English teacher asked as she called me up.
" Are you doing ok?" She asked as I nodded.
" You seem a bit pale." She said as I nodded.
" Just boyfriend issues, he's on a road trip with his sister and his uncle. Don't know when he will be back." I told her, she nodded and I went back to my desk. I completed the assignment and left after the bell rang. I felt my gut twist again as I breathed calmly. I saw Scott and Stiles talking, but I see Scott in a small frantic state. I walked over.
" Is he ok?" I asked Stiles.
" I can't I can't control it." Scott said as I went wide eyed. I grabbed my cousin's hand.
" All right, just keep your head down. Look down, come on. Keep your head down." I said with worry as Stiles took the both of us to an empty classroom. The whole room was spinning. My heart was racing and I watched as Scott pierced his hands, blood flowing. I finally lost my breakfast. It felt like forever before I finally felt my gut begin dry heaving. My ears finally let other sounds enter as I see Scott and Stiles talking.
" Do you know how you can tell if you're dreaming? You can't read in dreams. More and more, the past few days, I've been having trouble reading. It's like I can't see the words. I can't put the letters in order." Stiles said to my cousin as I got up.
" Like even now?" Scott asked him as I wiped away whatever was left.
" I can't read a thing." Stiles told him. Scott looked at me and walked over, checking me over.
" You ok?" He asked as I shrugged.
" I don't know, it might be the bond. I can't figure it out." I said as I rubbed my head.
" Why don't I get you home. You don't look well." Scott said as I nodded.
" Might be for the best." I said as he patted my shoulder. I grabbed my things and checked out for the day.
" You heard anything from Derek?" He asked as I got to my bike.
" No." I said as I felt sad and almost wanted to cry. Scott looked at me and hugged me. I hugged him back.
" Maybe Mom could check you out." He said as I perked up.
" Later, just. I want to go to bed, I'm tired." I said as I felt exhausted, I don't know why. Scott followed me back to my loft. I got off my bike and went inside after seeing Scott off.
" What is wrong with me?" I asked as I removed my clothes and drew a bath. Once I was in, my body changed. A song would calm me.
When a mermaid comes of age she begins a different kind of life.
Childish games are left far behind, she prepares to be a bride.
Her schooldays are in the past now, her heart becomes her new guide
It will portal the way to love eternal.
I felt my worry soothe as I went under. My thoughts echoing in my mind. My eyes glowing as I let my feelings blend into the bond.
Derek, wherever you are. Come home to me. I need you. I miss you. I love you.
I come up and pull myself from the tub. I grab a towel and dry off my tail. My tail becomes my legs again as I become completely dry. I got up from the floor and grabbed one of Derek's long sleeve shirts that cover my upper body with a small portion of my butt. I got to the bed and grab Derek's pillow. I inhaled it. It's slowly losing its scent. I felt my emotions stirring up again as I partially wrapped my arms around it. Was he in danger? I calmed downed and fell asleep.
I was stuck in the woods as the wind grew harsh. I covered my eyes to see a figure in the woods reaching a hand out to me. I don't know who they are, so what do I do? I run.
I woke up feeling a bit better, I saw my aunt left me a message.
Come over for dinner tonight. 8pm. MM.
I smiled at this.
Of course! MR.
I got up and opened my laptop. I see my assignments. I sighed, got some food in my system and quickly finished them online and what I missed yesterday for a full grade. Can't slack now. Not when I'm so close to graduation. After I got everything done, I saw it was about 4pm. I smiled as I got my work done. I picked my phone up and still nothing.
" What ever you are doing. I hope is important." I said as I laid down on the couch and took a long cat nap. No weird or freaky dreams. I woke up around 7:45pm. I smiled and got a text from my Aunt.
Picking you up instead so you don't have to drive over. MM.
I smiled and quickly got on a black tank top and blue jeans. I pulled on some converses and went to the lower level as I saw my Aunt in her car. I hugged her tightly.
" It's been too long since, Scott, you and I could have dinner." She said as I smiled into the hug. As she drove, we talked about everything.
" Well I hope Derek gets back soon." I said as she nodded. We got out of the car and I heard screaming and yelling.
" Someones in there." I said as my Aunt looked worried.
" That doesn't make any sense, Dad. Who are you helping? Just get out." Scott yelled as my aunt and I entered the room to see Scott and my uncle talking.
" Scott." Uncle said trying to calm Scott. Oh great! Not him!
" What? I can't believe that you'd do this to my best friend." Scott said as I can see he was straining his tone.
" I'm not doing anything to your friend. I'm doing my job." Uncle Rafe said as I was confused. The fucks going on?
" Your job sucks." Scott stated as he said in an annoyed tone.
" Some days I can't argue that." My uncle said to his son.
" Can somebody tell us what the hell is going on?" I asked as I felt a slight headache coming on.
" He's trying to get Stiles' dad fired." Scott said to me. The fuck!
" No. That's not true." My Uncle said to me.
" What are you doing?" My aunt asked her ex husband.
" Conducting a case for impeachment." He replied. Oh hell no!
" That sounds a lot like getting him fired." I said as he looked at me.
" The lack of resolution and ability to close cases is what's going to get him fired. My job is just to collect the information. And it's the job my superiors have given me." He replied, I saw Scott was breathing kind of heavy.
" Your job sucks dick!" I said with an annoyed groan as my headache got a little worse.
" Scott. Sweetheart. Calm down. Come with me right now." My aunt said as I felt dizzy. I stumbled as my uncle caught me. I wanted to tear my arm away from him, but I felt like I was going to be sick. I ran off and went to the bathroom and threw up.
" God fuck!" I said after I finally stopped. I wiped it away. I walked out of the bathroom. I saw Scott and my Aunt looking at me worried.
" Are you ok?" Scott asked as I shrugged.
" I'm gonna get her checked." My aunt said as I was going to argue with her.
" Marina, my darling niece. I'm getting you checked out, something isn't right." My aunt said as I nodded. We went to the hospital and I was checked in. I got my blood taken, temperature checked, and I had to give a sample. It was an hour before my aunt came in with a doctor.
" Miss Rivers when was your last period?" The doctor asked as I perked up, wait what?
" I don't remember, with all that happened a few weeks ago." I said as my Aunt nodded.
" Miss.." The doctor started.
" Please call me Marina." I said as he nodded.
" Well Marina, it looks like you are pregnant." He said as I felt my heart skip a beat. Pregnant! I was pregnant? Like right now?
" Are you sure?" I asked him. He nodded. My whole world is still as I let the thought of a baby enter my mind.
" I'd like to do an ultrasound." He said as I nodded. I watched as he set up the machine. He pulled up my shirt a little and placed a wand covered in this cold gel on my stomach. I soon saw this black void with a small shape. That was my baby? My child?
" That's your baby, right there." He said as he snapped a few pictures.
" I had no idea." I said as I got my stomach wiped off. A living being was growing inside me.
" Are you sure you want to keep it?" The doctor asked me.
" Of course. I don't believe in you know." I said as my aunt took my hand.
" You look to be about five weeks." He said as he gave me the picture. I just placed my hand on my stomach. Five weeks ago, wait that was when Derek and I were intimate with each other after finding out he was alive.
" We will get you a prescription for prenatal and a list of what you can and can't eat." He said before heading out. My aunt squeezed my hand.
" Are you sure this is what you want?" She asked as I nodded. I already have accepted this and I will carry this child to term. I can't wait for Derek to know! Wait.
" Derek and I did talk about wanting kids." I said as I felt the flood dams burst. I cried and she took me into her arms. Derek was still gone and I don't know where he is!
" Where is he!" I sobbed into her arms.
" He promised he would be back!" I cried out. She calmed me down. I was a sniveling mess.
" He will be back." My aunt said as I nodded. I was soon checked out and my aunt took me home.
" I won't tell Scott. That will be for you to do." She said before hugging me again. I let a little sniffle leave my throat before I got out of the car. I went inside and went to the loft floor. I shed my clothes and went to bed. I placed the picture in my wallet. I laid in bed with a hand over my now occupied belly.
" I'm gonna have a baby. Derek's gonna be a dad." I said as I calmed down. I listened to my heart beating calmly.
" Welp, pregnant at 18. At least not 16." I said as I got under the covers and closed my eyes.
" Where are you Derek. I need you now more than ever." I said as I looked at the moon.
Bring him home to me.
