Surprise

When Malia entered her dorm it was totally empty, apart from the standard things like beds, closets and bureaus. She figures her roommate is yet to arrive, she then begins unpacking. Malia didn’t really bring to many things, mostly just the necessary things like bedding and clothes. Next too that she brought a few accessories to decorate the room with like fairy lights and pictures of the pack. One with Lydia and Kira at their senior prom, a few with Stiles, some with the whole pack, others with just certain member and also a few with her dad of course.

‘Here we are.’ Stiles says slamming the door of the jeep closed. Jackson closes the door on the other site of the jeep and opens the trunk of the jeep.

‘I thought I’d a lot of things in life, but going to college with you wasn’t one of them.’ Jackson says handing Stiles his luggage.

‘Yet here we are’ Stiles smiles at Jackson. He didn’t think something like this would ever happen, but he doesn’t mind. He prefers having Jackson as a friend rather than an enemy.

‘Isaac just called’ Jackson says, ‘He said they all got at the apartment safely.’

‘That’s great!’ Stiles nods, he’s hanging photos and posters all over the room. Before they left Stiles and Jackson had had a big discussion about whether they would or wouldn’t hang posters all over the place. Jackson had said it would be too much and that the photo’s would be good enough, Stiles had of course disagreed going on about how it added character. In the end Jackson had given in, saying Stiles could hang 5 poster. At first Stiles had whined about how he had way more than that and he how he could never pick only 5. Jackson had walked out of the room telling Stiles take it or leave it. ‘Lydia just send me a text saying she’s fine too, her roommate is a sweetheart. Scott and Malia are good too. Scott says his roommate’s name is Blake and he’s quite the bad boy. Malia’s roommate is yet to arrive, but she has already decorated her half of the room and she and Scott are going to the beach.’

While the older pack members are settling into their dorms and apartments, the ones back in Beacon Hills are continuing their regular lives. Liam, Corey, Mason and Cora are at School, Parrish is at the police station and Derek is at the Hale house painting the front porch with Kira.

Derek had asked Kira multiply times if she regretted staying back in town and not going to college. Kira had told him that sure she had always planned on going to college straight out of  high school, but she didn’t regret staying back in Beacon Hills.

‘I couldn’t just let you lead Beacon Hills on your own, right? You obviously can’t handle it on your own. Last time you tried that not a lot of good things happened.’ Kira joked.

Derek didn’t want to admit it, but it was true. Jackson turned into a Kanima, it was Scott’s pack against his and a lot of people died while he was in charge. A while back Derek would have killed you for bringing it up, but things had changed. He knew the pack didn’t blame him for what happened, sure he had made some mistakes but it wasn’t all  on him. Plus Kira loved him.

´Well how lucky am I that the alphas second is willing to stay and help me.’  It’s easy to joke around Kira, she’s an easy person to be around. ´Thank you for helping me paint the porch by the way.’

‘It’s nothing,’  Kira and Derek had been painting since Derek had arrived back from brining Scott and Malia to the university, which was around 10 am. When Derek arrived at the house Kira was sitting on the porch swing with buckets of paint. ‘Can´t believe you have been living here for four months and still you’ve yet to paint the front porch.’ She had said, handing Derek a brush and a bucket of paint.

Cora had thought long and hard about whether she should go back to high school or not. At the end she had decided to go, because she only had one year left, so why not just finish it. Liam had been really excited that Cora would be attending BHHS too. To everyone’s surprise the two of them had gotten pretty close in the past months. Cora, Liam and Mason even went camping once during the summer break, Cora forcing them with her because ‘How can you have never camped out in the woods.´

Today was their first day back, Liam, Corey and Mason had been really excited to see all their other friends again. Cora had just been nervous, she didn´t know any of the people that would be in her class. She had even debated going to Devenford prep, because if she went their she would at least have classes with Brett. She ended up deciding against it because Liam was so excited that she’d join him, Mason and Corey at BHHS.

They had all gone to school together, Cora picking everyone up in the car Derek gave her. Well technically he hadn’t really given it to her, he had just said that if she ever needed a car he had one he didn’t really use. It had turned out that the car was the Camaro, Cora remembered it from when she was little, from before the fire. It was Laura’s car, she would always take Cora too the ice cream shop with it. Derek told her that he used to drive it, but his FJ Cruiser was way more practical so he had stopped using the Camaro.

When they arrived at school Corey had given Mason a kiss goodbye before running of with his friends, Liam and Mason had to leave Cora not long after that, having to go too their classes. The first class Cora had was history, which was given by Kira’s dad so it can’t be that horrible, right?

‘You know what Kira?’ Derek hands Kira beer, the two of them are sitting in front of the freshly painted front porch. ‘I think we did a great job.’

‘I agree, it did cost us four whole hours but it was totally worth it.’ Kira agrees with Derek.

‘I thought I’d hate it more not having the others around.’ Kira says after a while of sitting in silence and enjoying the sun. Derek raises an eyebrow at Kira. ‘I mean sure I do miss them, but I thought I’d be lonely. But you Derek Hale are surprisingly good company.’ She explains.

‘Thank you Yukimura, you’re not too bad yourself.’ Derek says, offering Kira a hand to help her up. ‘I think the pups are about to get back form school, let’s make them something to drink.’

‘I thought I was supposed to be the pack mom, but I see you’ve already taken that role upon yourself.’

‘Shut up.’ Derek mumbles shoving Kira a side and walking into the house.

‘Ty please, please stop crying.’ Isaac begs his son who refuses to stop crying. Tylan had been crying for several hours and Isaac didn’t know what to do. He had tried everything he could think of, feeding him, chancing his diapers, putting on new clothes, walking, singing, nothing worked. The singing made it even worse, Isaac did have to admit that his singing voice horrible and even if he wasn’t bad at singing it would still be nowhere near as good as Jacksons.

‘Isaac what did the emissary in London even teach you about werewolf babies?’ Ethan asks standing in the doorway with an amused look on his face. ‘He isn’t hungry, he doesn’t need a chance of clothes of whatever and please don’t ever sing again. He needs his mom, or in this case Jackson he needs Jackson.’ Ethan sits down on the floor next to Isaac.

‘Jackson isn’t here so he’ll have to deal with me.’ Isaac growls. It’s not like he’s mad at Ethan or something, but he’s just tired and frustrated.

‘How did you and Jackson even survive.’ Ethan chuckles. ‘You have some of Jackson’s shirts right?’ Isaac nods. ‘Great, get one and make sure it really smells like him.’

Isaac hands Tylan to Ethan, and rushes of to his room. Being back within two minutes with a shirt that reeks of Jackson. ‘What now?’ Isaac asks.

‘Undress Tylan, yes the butt naked type of undressed and wrap him in the shirt.’ Ethan instructs. Isaac carefully does what Ethan tells him to do. ‘Now you have to take your shirt of and keep Ty close to your chest.’ Isaac looks at Ethan obviously questioning it but does it anyway.

After a few moment Tylan is excually quite. ‘How did you know what to do?’ Isaac looks impressed, with a smile on his face because Tylan is falling asleep.

‘I learned it when i was younger. When my mom would be on business and one of my siblings wouldn’t stop crying, my mama would always do it.’ Ethan explains.

Isaac replays what Ethan says in his head a few times. Mama and mom, Ethan had two moms? How many siblings did Ethan even have? He did tell Isaac that he used to have little siblings but what happened to them, the twins didn’t kill them when they killed their whole pack to join the alpha pack, right? Isaac really hoped the didn’t.

‘You know you can ask me what you wanna know right? Before you start imagining the worst scenarios.’ Ethan looks at Isaac with a raised eyebrow. The younger beta smells of fair mixed with confusion.

‘D-did you kill ‘em?”

At that Ethan explodes in laughter. ‘My god Isaac! I didn’t kill my family!’  After a few seconds after that it’s all quite, the only thing you can hear is breathing. ‘Do you really think that low of me?’ The sadness drips of Ethans voice and the room reeks of it mixed it Isaacs regret.  

‘No.’ Ethan listens closely, Isaacs heartbeat is steady. He’s telling the truth.

‘I could tell you a little about them if you’d like?’ Isaac nods. ‘Alison and Emma are the names of my moms. They met when they were in high school and dated throughout college, they then broke up, because they both had jobs on other sites of the country. The break up didn’t last long though, the found that they couldn’t stand being apart from each other, so mom, Alison, moved to New Hampshire to be with my mama, Emma. They soon wanted to start a family, which of course was difficult, with both of them being woman. They went to see a pack emissary, to ask about what they could do. She than explained to them that they could in fact have children with each other, this because Alison was an Alpha and Emma an Omega. How it worked they never told me, but it did. The first time Emma got pregnant it was from my older brother Alec, soon after that she was pregnant of Scarlett, who was born exactly eleven months and 1 day after Alec. You still following me?” Ethan asks Isaac, who’s listening fully interested.

‘Yes, Alison and Emma are your moms. Female Alphas can have kids with Female omegas and two of your older siblings are named Alec and Scarlett.’ Isaac sums up what Ethan told him.

‘Okay, well after them Aiden and I came, mama used to always tell us we where the easiest birth, despite us being two instead of one. ‘ Ethan laughs at that, so does Isaac.

‘I’m quite sure that if you’d tell Jackson that he’d call you crazy and tell you giving birth to one is horrible let alone two.’ Tylans birth had been hell.

‘Mom and mama waited a few years after Aiden and I, but ended up having three more kids. The oldest of the three is Jessica, who’s born three years after us. The youngest where twins too, Carter and Cole, they were born two years after Jess.’ After summing all of them up Ethan goes on and tell some funny stories about when he was younger, like how Scarlett would always dare Alec to do they stupidest things and that they would always end up in trouble for it.

Isaac listens fondly to Ethans stories, but he can’t help but wonder what happened to them.
