Surprise

“Derek which car are we taking?” Liam asks Derek.

“We’ll take my car and Jordan will take his own car.” Derek declares. “Three of you’ll ride with me and the other three with Jordan.”

“I call shotgun in Jordan’s car!” Cora comes running down stairs with her bag.

Liam opens his mouth to call shotgun in Derek’s car but Derek shuts him down. “Kira is sitting in the passenger’s seat don’t even try.”

“Whatever as long as Brett rides in the car with us.” Liam rolls his eyes.

“Stiles do we have to go?” Jackson whines as he throws his clothes in a bag.

“Jackson stop whining.” Stiles throws a pillow at Jackson’s head, but it doesn’t hit him because Jackson catches it, stupid supernatural powers. “Be happy, you’ll get to see your boy.”

“Yeah you are right, sorry.” Jackson just doesn’t want to face Isaac. “Just please don’t tell Isaac about the nightmares okay?”

“I can’t promise anything Jackson, you know that I can’t”

-

Stiles is once again looking at Jackson, who has sweat dripping down his head and is fully shifted.

“Get out of my head.” Jackson keeps repeating, his nails digging deeper and deeper into the mattress.

Stiles obviously had to do something, he had to help Jackson but how? Every night since they had arrived at the university Jackson had these nightmares, keeping Stiles awake at night worrying about Jackson and the mental state he’s in. Maybe this was what Isaac was talking about when he said ‘[Jackson]’s been through enough’ had Isaac mend the nightmares. Stiles had thought that Isaac mend the whole Kanima thing, but then again that of course had its effects on Jackson like possibly the nightmares and most likely anxiety, or well that’s what Stiles had suffered a lot of since the whole nogitsune thing. He had to wake Jackson up and ask him how he could help him, but how? Pain. Of course pain makes him human .

Stiles looks around and sees a razor lying sticking out of Jackson’s toiletry. Stiles takes it and steps over to Jackson, kneeling down and holding it just above Jackson’s leg. “I have to do this, to help him” with that thought in his head Stiles puts the razor against Jackson’s leg and cuts.

“God that hurts.” Jackson yells out, crabbing his leg. “Why’d you do that Stilinski?”

“Jackson you’ve been having nightmares this whole week, and they are getting worse. You’re yelling that they need to get out of your head.” Stiles looks at Jackson worried. “Who are they? Are they Matt and Gerard?”

Tears are in Jackson’s eyes as he nods. “I’m so sorry Stiles.” Jackson’s voice breaks as he says “I thought I was better. I really thought I was.”

“Jackson you can’t help it. I know you can’t, so don’t apologise.” Stiles sits down next to Jackson, taking the blond in his arms, letting him softly sob into his shoulder. “Tell me how to help you. Do you know how I can help you?”

“I-Is-Isaac.” Jackson sobs.

‘Isaac?” Stiles asks. “Does Isaac know how to help?”

Jackson nods and looks up at Stiles. “But it’s a bit awkward so I doubt you’d want to do it.”

“Just tell me Jackson.”

Jackson takes a deep breath and takes of his shirt and pants, leaving only his boxers on.

“Jackson if you’re talking about sex then I can’t help you because Malia would kill me.” Stiles laughs.

“Trust me I have no intention of sleeping with you.” Jackson roll his eyes. “Isaac would always anchor me by hugging me from behind tightly. I works with clothes on too but it works with as little clothing possible and since you aren’t Isaac I guess the less clothing the better, if you wouldn’t mind sleeping in the same bed as me of course.”

Jackson looks nervous almost insecure standing in front of Stiles like this, open and vulnerable. “We are so sleeping in my bed though.” Stiles mumbles and starts on dressing.

-

It had really helped Jackson the sleeping together. He still has nightmares but less often and if Jackson was lucky they were less real too.

“Are all of them saying here?” Isaac asks, helping Danny and Ethan set up places for the pack to sleep.

“Yup.” Ethan answers handing Danny some more pillows. “We’ve got a full house.”

“Who’s sleeping where?” Isaac asks.

“Well we have two couches, so Derek and Cora will probably sleep on those. Jordan and Lydia will sleep on the big air matrass, while Stiles and Malia will be just fine with sharing a one person air matrass.”

Danny wants to go on but gets interrupted by the bell.

“Who the hell is that? It’s only ten a.m. who could be here this early?” Ethan questions and opens the door to find Lydia there.

“Lyds!” Ethan yells out in delight. “You should have told us you’re coming this early we would have cleaned up.”

“I’m sure you would have but I honestly don’t care.” Lydia laughs as she throws her bag on a chair and hands Danny her jacket. “You’re apartment is lovely by the way, so much more room than in my little dorm room.”

/

“Derek are we there yet?” Liam whines, again.

“Liam shut up.” Derek growls and turns in the parking space in front of the boys apartment.

“Liam we are here.” Kira laughs and gets out of the car. Within ten minutes the whole pack has the bags and they walk towards the apartment.

Isaac was the one that opened the door with a crying Tylan in his arms. “He guys!” Isaac smiles and lets the boys in. “I’m sure Danny and Ethan will help you with anything you need and I’m sorry but I have to go and pick up Jackson and Stiles from the airport any of you care to join me?”

“I’ll come I can’t wait to see Stiles!” Malia says exited and grabs her coat.

“Of course you can’t love.” Isaac chuckles.

/

“You smell funny” Malia notes, sniffing at Isaac. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I’m just nervous to see Stiles and Jackson again.” Isaac says.  

“Okay then.” Malia turns around to Tylan who’s sitting peacefully on the backseat. “How about you lil’ bro are you exited to see you daddy again?”

“Dada!” Tylan yells exited clapping his little chubby hands together with a big smile on his face.

“Yes Ty Daddy.” Isaac smiles from behind the wheel. “Daddy and Sti.”

“Mama!” Tylan yells out happily. The first few times Tylan had said Mama Isaac had been confused but after a while he figured that the only time Tylan would say Mama was when Malia was either mentioned or they were skyping with her, so Isaac was relieved that Mama was just Tylan trying to say Malia with his limited speech.

“Yes that is Malia.” Isaac confirms.

After a half an hour drive Malia, Isaac and Tylan a standing in the hall of the airport waiting for Stiles and Jackson.

“If I’m right their plane just landed.” Malia says handing Isaac a cup of coffee.

“Okay that’s great. Thanks for the coffee Mal.” Isaac thanks Malia.

“If one more person comes up to us and tells us how cute our son is I think I might eat them.” Malia laughs.

Multiple people had come up to Isaac and Malia and asked if they weren’t a bit young for kids or told them how cute their son was.

When they finally saw Stiles and Jackson it was like slow-motion. Malia and Stiles had one of those movie moments where a couple runs to each other and the boy caries the girl as they hug and kiss, very cheese but also really cute. Jackson smiled at them and took Tylan from Isaac.

“Hey baby.” Jackson cooed. Tylan smiled at Jackson an kept yelling Dada.

“Yes Ty that’s daddy.” Isaac smiles. “Come on I’ll take your suitcase.” Isaac now has the suitcase in one hand and without thinking he takes Jackson’s hand in his other hand. Like that they walk out of the airport followed by a kissing Malia and Stiles.
