Surprise

Isaac and Derek where sitting on the porch, looking at the rest of the pack who are playing a game of soccer, Cora’s team obviously winning.

‘How’s parenthood treating you?” Derek asks.

‘It’s been quite great, I’m mean in away harder than I expected it to be, but it’s also easier. The sleepless nights are hard, they’re treating me better than Jackson though, but they are nothing compared to the moments you share with him, you know? Just a few days ago Ty smiled for the first time, moments like that are just amazing.’ The way Isaac talks about Tylan, as if he’s the most beautiful thing to have ever existed, makes Derek happy. It makes him happy that his pup is happy.

Jackson never thought he’d say it, but he really enjoys Melissa’s company. It’s not that he ever thought Melissa was a bad person or anything. It’s just that after the hell he put Scott trough, he thinks she should hate him, if not at least dislike him. But then again Scott had to get his big heart from someone and that someone is obviously Melissa McCall. Melissa had teached him a lot about parenthood in the short time they sat together, it had made Jackson realise that both him and Isaac had so much more to learn.

Melissa went home right after dinner, saying she had a night shift at the hospital. Parrish had arrived not to long after that.
It was about ten p.m. when Derek offered ‘You guys want to spend the night here or what? I mean we could build a campfire and make s’mores.’

Which the whole pack agreed on doing. Derek, Liam, Scott and Isaac went in to the preserve to get wood for the campfire. While Lydia, Kira, Danny, Corey and Mason are in the kitchen making the s’mores. Brett and Ethan sat next to Jackson. Ethan was holding Tylan and Brett was talking with Jackson.

‘I heard from Lydia that you and Isaac used to live across the street from each other, I also heard that it wasn’t a pretty story of how you guys fell in love or something. And I know it’s none of my business, but do you mind telling me what happened?’ Brett asks, unsure what answer to expect from Jackson, since he doesn’t know the guy to well.

‘Yeah, Isaac and I did use to live across the street from each other. And it was most certainly not the beginning of our love story, not even close. Isaac used to get abused by his father, Lahey used to put him in the damned freezer, sometimes of days in a row. The worst thing of it all is that I knew, but I still didn’t do anything about it.’ Brett looks shocked but doesn’t comment on it.

‘Ethan, do you mind me asking who Aiden is? I heard Scott saying that you could become one big wolf with him.’ Ethan looks at Jackson wanting to answer the question, but getting a big lump throat.

‘It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me.’ Jackson assures Ethan, seeing the guys has a hard time talking about it.

‘I just really miss him.’ Ethan says softly, a tear falling from his eye. ‘And being here, having a pack and being happy, it just doesn’t feel right without him you know? He was my brother I wish I was able to share all of this with him.’

‘I understand.’ Brett says. ‘When me and my sister first joined Satomi’s pack all I could think about was the fact that we couldn’t share all of it with our other siblings or our parents. I absolutely hated it.’

Jackson wants to say something he just doesn’t know what, he hasn’t been through something like that. ‘I’m really sorry for you guys.’ He decides to say.

The four of them sat like that for a while, talking about less important thinks, like lacrosse. Jackson of course didn’t agree that it was less important. Even though it has been years since the boy even touched a lacrosse stick, he was still very passionate about it. Isaac loved looking at Jackson being passionate about something, the way his face lights up and the joy on his face, Isaac just loves it. So instead of going and placing the wood in the pit for the fire he looks at Brett and Jackson talking about Lacrosse, with Ethan next to them softly tickling Tylan.

‘It would be a lot less creepy if you stared at him like that if you weren’t creeping in the shadows you know?” Liam says, making Isaac jump a little.

‘Fuck off puppy.’ Isaac mutters walking to the place they were going to have the fire and started placing picnic rugs all around it.

It was about elven when they were finally done. They had enough wood, the s’mores were ready and Isaac had put Tylan to bed. With the whole pack they is lying around the fire. Brett sat on one blanked, with Liam in between his legs, with his head leaning against Brett’s chest. On that same blanket, next to them in the same position are Mason and Corey. Malia, Stiles and Cora are all cuddled together on the blanket next to that, Malia didn’t mind sharing Stiles for a bit, she knows he loves her and that Cora just loves cuddling, so nothing to worry about. Kira and Scott sat on the next blanket, Kira’s leaning with her head on Scott shoulder, who’s holding he her hand. Sharing the blanket with them are Jordan and Lydia, who are cuddling. Ethan and Danny had a blanket for themselves, cuddling on it. On the last blanket Derek sat, next to Isaac, who has Jackson’s head in his lap, while softly brushing his fingers through Jackson’s hair.

The night is going great, except from a few burnt marshmallows, but that’s it. When it is about 2 p.m. they hear Tylan crying, which means he has to be fed. So Isaac gets Tylan from upstairs and hands him to Jackson.

‘Do you guys mind, if I feed him here?’ Jackson asks. ‘Of course not!’ The pack says. Jackson pulls of his shirt and starts feeding Tylan, feeling everyone’s eyes burn on him.

‘How about we stop staring, which is very rude by the way, and you guys tell me what all of you are going to study?’ Scott suggests, Jackson shoots him a thankful look, happy they stopped staring because it made him really uncomfortable.

‘How about I start?’ Scott says, when no one says something. ‘I’m going to attend the university of California, in Santa Barbra, California. To become a vet.’

‘I’m happy to say that I’m going to do the same thing as Scott.’ Malia says, smiling proudly.

‘I’m going to become a deputy and I’m attending Argosy University in San Diego. So look out Jordan, I’m going to steal your job.’ Stiles says the last part smiling at Parrish.

‘I better watch out then.’ Parrish Jokes.

Lydia rolls her eyes at her boyfriend and says ‘I’m going to attend Stanford.’

Which of course makes the others say ‘Of course you are.’

Lydia just nods and continues ‘I’m going to study mathematics. I told Stiles, when he wanted to dance with me, that I was going to win a fields medal and I am.’

‘I remember that, I was shouting at you because you didn’t want to dance!’ Stiles says laughing.

‘Well I’m going to take a year off, being with the skin walkers teached me control, but I still have a lot to learn and that’s what I plan to do during that year. So I’m staying in beacon hills.’ Kira says. The pack nods in understanding, Kira’s time with the skin walkers was hard on her, but it did teach her control.

‘How about you guys, planning to go to college?’ Scott asks Isaac and Jackson.

‘I always wanted to become a lawyer, but to be honest I’m not too sure about that anymore.’ Jackson says. ‘You do know how to suck don’t you.’ He says, laughing down at Tylan who’s sucking at his nipple, drinking milk. Causing laughter from the pack.

‘I guess he got that from you.’ Isaac comments. The whole pack is dead silent, Jackson looking at Isaac with his mouth wide open and his face a little red.

‘You kinky little shit!’ Cora yells out.

‘What can I say?’ Isaac says laughingly.

‘How about you stop with the jokes and Jackson tells us what he wants to be.’ Derek says, being the fun ruining adult he is.

‘Like I said, I’m sold to the idea of becoming a lawyer. Because that would mean I won’t have a lot of time for fun stuff and family, like my parents, which I would hate. So I’ve decided that I am probably going to be a deputy, like Stilinski.’ Jackson says.

‘Why would you want to be a deputy, I’m it’s a great job and all, look at Jordan he’s clearly happy with his choice. But why would you choose to become a deputy?’ Danny asks, look a bit confused as to why Jackson would want to become a deputy, since he has never shown any interest in becoming one before.

‘It’s just, I know I can’t make up for those murders. Be I can at least try by helping people who need help. ‘ Jackson says looking down, he feels stupid saying it out loud but it is the truth. ‘I know it sounds stupid.’ He murmurs.

‘It doesn’t, It excually makes sense.’ Corey says, speaking up for what seems the first time during the night.

‘Thanks.’ Jackson says offering the younger boy a smile.

‘Seems like I just got myself a roommate for college!’ Stiles says.

‘In your dreams Stilinski!’ Jackson jokes, he wouldn’t mind rooming with Stiles. It would mean he wouldn’t be alone, he hated to be alone and he had missed the boy, even if he would never admit it.

‘My dreams seem to becoming true, Werewolves, other supernatural shit and I’ve got a hot girlfriend. Not just a girlfriend a hot one, Jackson!” Stiles is obviously proud of the fact that Malia, who’s really good looking, is his girlfriend.

‘You’re not too bad yourself.’ Malia says, grabbing Stiles face and kissing him.

‘Isaac could you please get Ty’s bib? He’s done and I don’t feel like moving.’ Isaac lets out a sigh but does what Jackson asks him. Walking into the house, coming back with a bib and a towel for Jackson.

‘Here, let Derek make sure Ty burbs and clean yourself.’ Isaac says, taking Tylin over from Jackson, throwing Jackson the towel and gives Derek Tylan.

Derek holds the little boy carefully. ‘You know, Cora was the last baby I held.’

‘Mom told be about that, you were so happy you cried.’ Cora says.

Derek groans ‘Don’t tell people I cried.’

‘Now we’ve got the emotional shit, how about Isaac tells us what he wants to do.’ Scott says.

‘Am taking the year of too, can’t leave Tylin alone you know.’ He says.

‘Yeah, no.’ Lydia says. ‘You’re going to college Lahey.’

‘Am not.’ Isaac answers.

‘You better bet your you are!’ Lydia repeats.

‘You’re not my mom don’t tell me what to do!’ Isaac almost yells.

‘I may not be your mom, but I just want the best for you Isaac.’ Lydia says calmly. ‘I understand you don’t want to leave Tylan alone, but education is important. And you can say I’ll start next year, but we all know you won’t because in the year you take off you’ll just get way more attached to Ty, so you’ll end up not going to college.’

Isaac would love to tell argue with Lydia and tell her she’s wrong, but he knows she’s right. Lydia is always right.

‘I did get into The University Of California, Berkley. To become social worker, before you ask, I want to become a social worker because I want to help kids who´ve been through the same as me or worse.´ Isaac says. ´But I don´t really want to go because Jackson and I have a kid, he´s our responsibility, we can´t take him to college with us. Especially not since Jackson and I will both be attending different Schools. So it would be better if I just take year of and take care of Ty, with Jackson when he´s home of course.´

´Don´t be stupid Isaac, you´ve got the whole pack.´ Derek says.

´It´s just that Jax and I don’t want to use you guys, it was our choice to raise Tylin, so we shouldn´t dich him with you guys, just to go off to college. We don´t want to be a burden.´ Isaac says, he´s unsure what to do. He´s been unsure for a while, whether to go to college or take a year off.

´You guys aren´t a burden! You´re pack and pack takes care of each other and helps each other.´ Malia says.

´So you´re going to go to college and we´ll take care of Tylin. During the weekends we´ll take him to either you or Jackson. During the vacation´s you guys come home and take care of Ty.´ Derek says.

´That sounds like how it went in our pack.´ Cora says. ´The elder ones take care of the pups while the parents take off to college, but take care of the pups whenever they´re free.´

´We can´t let you guys do that.´ Jackson says. Like Isaac, he doesn´t want the pack to take care of his pup.

´Jackson and Isaac, really it´s okay, it’s a pack thing, I know, Ethan knows, Cora and Derek know.´ Brett says. ´Pack help pack.´

´I´m still not sold on the idea but I´ll consider it.´ Isaac says.

Not to long after that the pack decides it´s getting late, 3 a.m., and that they´re going to bed. Which of course leads to the big who sleeps where conversation. After about 15 minutes of people asking ´Where should I sleep.´ Both Derek and Scott are done with it.

´Stop it.´ Derek yells. ´There are no rooms on this floor, so nobody sleeps down stairs. ´On the second floor are three rooms, all of these are taken. The one on the left is Isaac´s, the first door on the right leads into my room and the last one on the right is Jackson´s. But I´m guessing we´ll just make that one Tylin´s room because Jackson prefers sneaking into Isaac´s room and cuddle.´

´Shut the fuck up, I just don´t like sleeping alone.´ Jackson says. Earning a few aww´s from the girls.

´I was saying, we´ll probably turn that one into Tylin´s room. There´s also a door at the end of the hall, next to the stairs, that one´s from the bathroom. There´s one bathroom for each floor. On the second floor are four rooms, The first one on the left is going to be Scott and Kira´s. The second one on the left is for Jordan and Lydia, please keep it quite we don´t want to hear you. The first one on the right is Cora, hope you enjoy yourself in between the couples. And the last room, the second one on the right is for Stiles and Malia, you too should try to not make a lot of noise. There´s also a big chance Cora will come in and ask to cuddle.´ Derek says, wanting to continue but being interrupted by Malia.

Who says. ´I love to cuddle!´ Happily.

´We know you do. Where was I? On the last floor are three rooms too, Ethan and Danny will take the first on your right, Mason and Corey the first on the left and Brett and Liam will take the last one.´ Derek declares before walking upstairs.
