Surprise

The past few weeks had been wild. Ethan had been texting his family nonstop, but didn’t tell them everything. Alec had assured him that it is okay if he did feel ready to talk about all the abuse he had suffered, about killing his former pack or about losing Aiden. Sure they knew Aiden was dead, Ethan didn’t want to keep that a secret from them, they have the right to know.

The pack back in BH suffered their first attack without an Alpha, it was nothing big, just few pack less omegas. They were wild and it had been a struggle to keep them from killing anyone, but they succeeded. Derek and Kira had taken the lead, Cora was impressed with Derek’s leading skills.

The pack back at college had taken their exams, some with more struggle then others. Scott felt guilty because he wasn’t there when the omegas attacked but Kira had assured him it was okay and they had handled them.

Jackson and Stiles had continued sleeping in the same bed and their friend Nate started sleeping in Stiles bed. Nate never questioned why they slept together, he just didn’t care. Nate is openly bisexual and has tried to come on to Stiles and Jackson multiple times, which they didn’t mind because let’s face it Nate is hot as fuck. Stiles always told him no, but Jackson and Nate had made out multiple times.

For Isaac, Danny and Tylan it had been an uneventful few weeks, the had taken their exams, they listened to Ethan talking about his family, Tylan started crawling and Isaac learned how to cook.

Now the whole pack is on winter break and all of them are coming home.

 “Derek I’m going now, mom wants me to come with them to New York where my family lives for Christmas!” Liam yells, he wants to spend the holidays with his pack but he also enjoys seeing his whole family again.

“That’s okay pup, be safe okay!” Derek yells back at Liam, most of the pack would be spending Christmas with their families which Derek understands, if he could he would too.

At the front door Kira stands and kisses Liam on the forehead “Have fun pup.” She smiles at Liam.

“You too mom.” Liam winks at Kira when he says mom and then runs to the car parked in front of the Hale house where his parents are in.

After Liam is gone Derek comes down and he and Kira sit at the kitchen table with a cup of warm Choco. “Liam is off to New York, Brett is with his pack, Mason and Corey are at Mason’s home and we’re going to drop Cora at the airport how late again?” Cora wanted to spend Christmas with her pack back in south America, which Derek understood. They had been her family for over ten years.

“We are dropping her at 4 p.m.” Kira smiles. “The house is really empty like this!”

“Yeah, but Isaac, Tylan and Ethan will be here soon. Melissa, Chris, Natalie, Henry, your parents and Jordan will celebrate Christmas here too.” Derek has invited all the parents to celebrate Christmas over at the pack den because they are pack too, right?

“Jackson texted me him and Stiles will arrive in the early morning.” Kira informs Derek.

“Blake aren’t you going home?” Scott asks his roommate who’s smoking a cigarette on his bed.

“My mom’s a drug addict and my dad is a drunk, so no I’m not going home.”

Scott feels bad for Blake, the two of them may not be besties, but they did get close over the past few months. No matter how rude and heartless Blake may seem sometimes he doesn’t deserve the life he has, he’s a good guy.

“You know what, no one should be alone during the  holydays. Blake you’re coming home with Malia and me.”

/

Meanwhile in Malia’s dorm her roommate, Bella, is once again making a big drama about something unimportant.

Malia really doesn’t get it. Who makes a big drama about an eyeliner or something stupid like that? Bella always looks for a reason to fight, whether it is about the heat in the room or Malia apparently stealing Bella’s stuff, not that Malia wants any of her stuff but whatever.

“Honestly Bella, I couldn’t care less.” Malia smiles sweetly and walks out of their room heading to Scott and Blake’s room.

“What’s wrong Derek?” Kira asks.

Derek sits on the couch with a sad expression on his face. “Last Christmas I celebrated with pack was with Laura back in New York and she isn’t here. I just need a moment to miss my sister.” When Derek’s eyes meet Kira’s they are watery.

“Let’s take a minute then.” Kira says and wraps her arms around him.

They sit like that for a while and it’s okay. Derek gets to miss his Sister and Kira just lets him.

“I’m good now.” Derek says and Kira lets him go. Derek smiles weakly “Thanks Yukimura.”

“Any time Hale.”

Tears are streaming down Jackson’s face. How did he end up here? Puking, crying, with his head aching badly and tired as hell.

Jackson sits on the bathroom floor and leans against the toilet. He never regretted sleeping with Isaac more. No matter what, Jackson is never getting pregnant again. Even though Jackson has yet to gain weight he already hates it and it’s only the first trimester.

“Jackson, honey, are you home?” Just when Jackson thought it couldn’t get any worse, his parents come home!

“Yeah I’m here.” It’s barely a whisper but if he talks any louder he’ll start puking again.

His father, David, appears in the doorway and is shocked to find his son looking terrible on the floor. “Margret, could you please come!”

His father’s yelling really hurts his head especially with his sensitive wolf hearing and Jackson grabs his head because it hurts so bad. “Be quiet.”

“Jackson, honey are you okay?” His mom, Margret, asks and squads down next to him.

For one or another reason his wolf starts acting up whit his mom this close to him and when him mom touches him something snaps, his eyes flash, his fangs come out, he growls and pushes his mom away. When Jackson calms down and realises what he did he starts crying even harder. “I’m sorry, I need you to go now, please.”

His parents go to the room next door and Jackson hears his mother’s worried voice “What’s wrong with him! He has never wolfed out in front of us and he looks so tired David!”

“I don’t know Margret, it must have something to do with the werewolf thing.” His dad tries to assure his mom.

“Maybe we should call the man he call his alpha?” Margret proposes.

They can’t call Harry! With loads of struggle Jackson gets up from the floor and walks to hey doorway of the room his parents are in and tells them “Please don’t call Harry. If you really want someone here that knows a few thing about the super natural I’ll ask Isaac to come.”

“The boy that used to live across the street from us, Isaac Lahey?” His mom look confused.

“Yes Isaac, if you’d be here more often you’d know he’s in town and we’re hanging out.”

/

Isaac takes a deep breath and knock the door of the Whittemore apartment. David and Margret never liked him, so it made him nervous to see them.

“Welcome Isaac, come in.” Mrs. Whittemore says when she open the door.

When Isaac enters the living room he meets an angry looking David but puts on his best smile, which turn out really awkward and waves. “Hello Mr. Whittemore.”

“Isaac.” David doesn’t even look up from his paper.

“Jackson is in his room.” Mrs. Whittemore  smiles sweetly. “If you need anything just ask.”

Isaac nods and leaves the room as fast as he can. When he gets to Jackson’s room, which is at the end of the hall, he doesn’t even bother nocking. He slowly opens the door, the whole room is dark, the only light is the room is the small stripe of sunshine coming through the curtains.

The whole room smells terrible, it reeks of exhaustion and puke, mostly puke. “Jackson are you okay?” Isaac asks and starts undressing till he’s only wearing his boxer.

Of course that’s when Mrs Whittemore walks in to check on them. “What is going on here! Isaac get out now.”

Isaac know he should probably listen to her, but since he’s a werewolf it’s not like he has anything to fear. “I would, but your son is sick and he’s my friend so I’m not leaving him alone.” Jackson’s not really sick, he’s pregnant but that’s not something he’d like Mrs. Whittemore to know.

“You are half naked in his room and he’s sick while you look like you’re about to jump and rape him!” Mrs. Whittemore screams and Jackson grabs his head. Why can’t he mom just stop screaming?

“Don’t yell.” Isaac says calmly. “He has a headache and wolf hearing so just don’t yell.”

“Okay I’m sorry honey.” Mrs. Whittemore apologises to her son. “Since you are apparently not here to rape him how about you tell me why you’re half naked?”

Isaac smiles, at least she’s giving him a chance. “Look there’s this thing called a Pack Pile, it’s a thing werewolf do a lot and it’s just lots of wolves cuddling. It also happened a lot when a pack member is sad or sick or whatever and it works best when you’re wearing close to no clothes.  It’s the best way I know to help Jackson so I’m gonna do it.”

What that said Mrs. Whittemore leaves the room, Isaac gets into bed with Jackson and starts spooning him. It’s not the first time they’ve done it, whenever Jackson is having a really bad day they do it and it always helps. It just seem to calm everything in Jackson’s body down.

“Merry Christmas” Jackson whispers.

Isaac chuckles “Merry Christmas Whittemore.”

-

“Stiles I spent my last Christmas puking, fighting with my parents and spooning with Lahey, so this Christmas better be great.” Jackson says when Stiles car stops in front of the Hale house.

“I’m sure it’ll be great Jackson.” Stiles says and gets out of the car.

When they ring the bell Scott opens the door and hugs both the boys. “You made it!”

Inside the house it’s full,  almost everyone came home. Isaac and Ethan are on the couch with Tylan and Ethan is obviously down because Danny went to Hawaii with his family. On the loveseat sit Lydia and Jordan and they’re making out. Derek and Kira are laughing in the kitchen and cooking a big meal.

“It’s great to be home, isn’t it!” Scott smiles and walks away from the boys to the kitchen and starts talking to Kira and Derek.

The whole vibe of the house is very calm and happy. Jackson loves it. He does think it sad that none of the younger pack members nor Danny is gonna celebrate Christmas with them but it’s okay.

Everything seems normal, except from the boy that is sitting with Malia at the kitchen table, Jackson has never seen the boy before.

“Jackson come here!” Malia yells when she sees him staring. “This is Blake, Scott’s roommate.”

“Hey I’m Jackson.” Jackson waves awkwardly and mouths “Does he know?” at Malia who nods.

“I think I know you.” Blake says. “Did you ever attend a summer lacrosse camp?”

“Yes I did, why?” Jackson looks confused, he has never seen the boy before.

“My brother, Colton, used to attend them and once showed me a picture of you.” Blake explains.

Jackson was planning on going over to Ethan and Isaac but gets stuck talking with Malia and Blake.

It’s Old year’s day and everything went just fine. Everyone loved their Christmas presents and the young pack members made it home safe.

Not a lot had happened in the days between then and now. Jackson had once again started sleeping in the same bed as Isaac and god that felt a lot better than sharing a bed with Stilinski, though Jackson does really appreciate Stiles for doing it.
