Chapter Text
It was close to 3AM when they pulled up to the rebuilt Hale house. Steven was fast asleep, but Stiles and Derek were wide awake, yet quiet.
Stiles couldn’t believe that this nightmare was truly over and they he would never again have to deal with Peter. He was still a little worried, worried that Peter would find a way to come back.
He had voiced his concern a few hours ago, but Lydia had told him that Sarah was going to bury him in a way and with a spell that would make it so he couldn’t come back.
They got out of the car and was greeted by the pack who took turns hugging them.
After a few moments they headed inside, Derek and Stiles heading into their room with Steven. Once they laid him down they crawled into bed, falling asleep in each others arms.
SIX YEARS LATER
Steven runs in the front door from just getting off the bus. He drops his backpack on the floor and takes off for the kitchen in search of food.
When he rounded the corner he ran into his dad(Stiles) who smiled down at him. “Well hello there, how was your day at school?” He asked, reaching down and picking up his not so little son anymore.
Steven squirmed in his hold. “It was boring, ugh put me down!” He said, wiggling out of stiles grip and dropping to the floor. He smiled he grabbed a back of chips and ran from the kitchen.
Stiles rolled his eyes, “That’s all the junk you get! Dinner will be in an hour or so!” He called out going back to the preparations.
He heard Derek coming and smiled as he put everything down. Derek smiled at him as he walked through the door holding a smiling, freshly bathed Talia.
“There’s Papas little princess.” He said, reaching out and talking the baby.
Derek walked over and took over the food prep. “She loves the water, definitely going to be a swimmer. Did Steven have a good day?” He asked, popping a carrot into his mouth.
Stiles sighed, “I don’t know, I picked him up which apparently is a no no now and he said it was boring and then ran away.” He said with a pout.
Derek chuckled, “He already sounds like a teenager, that’s not good.” He said, looking over to Stiles who smiles at him.
Talia was 6 months old and they had used a surrogate and Derek’s Swimmers. She hadn’t showed any signs yet of becoming a werewolf, but they were hopeful.
In no time at all dinner is ready and Stiles calls for Steven to come down. He comes into the kitchen and sits down, annoyance written all over his face when he sees his sister.
Derek and Stiles share a look and Derek clears his throat, “Steven, is there something wrong? You know you can talk to us about anything.” He tells the boy who deflates some, but looks sad now.
“It’s not fair, I know I’m gonna be able to do magic like dad one day, but I wanna be a wolf too, but only Talia is going to get to be one! I wanna be like both of you!” He says, and Derek can smell the salt as little tears fall down his face.
Stiles heart breaks and Derek gets up and walks over to Steven, kneeling down. “Buddy, I’m sorry that this has you so upset. You should know though, that Talia might not even be a wolf. She hasn’t shown any signs on that yet. But even if she does, that doesn’t make you any less special than her.” He tells his son, reaching out and wiping his tears away.
Steven looks up at him, “Why can’t you just change me like you did uncle Chris?” He asks, looking at his father hopefully.
Derek smiles, “I only changed uncle Chris because he was injured very badly and if I hadn’t, he wouldn’t be here right now. If something were to happen to you, I would change you too, that’s the only way way to change a child.” He tells him and can see the wheels turning in Stevens head.
“Well that’s stupid, what if someone just wants to be a wolf? That’s how uncle Isaac and Uncle Boyd became wolves.” He says, giving Derek a look.
He chuckle, “When you turn 18, if you still want to be a wolf then I will change you sweetheart. But you need to be old and mature enough to make the choice. You’re too young for that right now. Do you understand?” Derek asks, giving him a smile.
Steven nods his head returning his smile. “ I only have 8 years to wait! That’s not that long! I will definitely want to be a wolf!” He says as he starts attacking food.
Derek goes back to his seat and they all have a nice family dinner.
Everything in their lives were perfect, some baddies popped up here and there but it wasn’t anything they couldn’t handle.
All was finally well and Stiles and Derek finally had the family that they had always wanted.
