Chapter Text
Derek had taken care of almost everything. Almost. There were two options regarding the adoption; Noah could sign over his parental rights willingly, or they'd have to be terminated by a judge on the grounds of neglect, alcoholism and/or the fact that Noah can't maintain a relationship with his own child.
Somehow the second option seemed easier. But the first one was worth a shot. Alright. He had made his decision. Derek was going to go by Noah while Stiles wasn't home, and tell him his options. He had the papers ready, and Scott was on his way to the Stilinski home. Time for Derek to leave too and confront Noah.
Derek decided to bring Scott with him as he confronted Noah. Not only did Scott have the right to tell the man how much of a failure he was, Scott knew him and how he could react. As they walked into the house, Stiles safely stashed away with the rest of the pack, they found Noah exactly as they had expected; drunk, watching tv.
Scott said nothing as he turned the tv off and moved all the drinks out of Noah's reach. The two wolves sat down and told Noah what was going to happen.
"You are going to sign over your parental rights to Melissa, right now, or I'm going to take you to court. Not only will I make sure lose Stiles, but I'll also make sure you'll lose your job and your house. Stiles will live with Scott and his mother, while you live somewhere awful. Sign the papers, so you can keep your job and your house, and maybe you can visit Stiles every once in a while. Understand?
The man just looked at the pair, shocked. They were gonna take his only son. The only thing left of his Claudia, even though he's useless in Noah's opinion.
"I want to talk to him." The tone left no room for discussion, so Derek compromised. He promised that he would ask Stiles. If Stiles wanted to talk, they would and he would sign the papers afterwards. If not, Noah would sign the papers anyway and leave it be. He agreed, so the wolves left. To ask Stiles, tell Melissa, and make sure Noah would keep his promise.
