Penny for a thought.
“So that's little Stiles Stilinski?” Peter asked.
“It appears to be little brother,” Talia answered as she started to make food.
“She's not so little anymore.” Laura commented.
“That indeed.” Rocklyn, Talia's husband chirped.
“I can't believe shes so grown up and has a baby herself.” Peter said.
“Don't even think about it Peter Joshua.” Talia breathed.
“What? What are you talking about?” Peter questioned.
“Oh don't even uncle.” Laura replied.
“Enlighten me.” Begged peter.
“You are not going to sink your fangs into her, she just got out of a terrible relationship, and you are not crushing that little girls spirits. You're only interested in her because Noelle said she needed to marry you. Don't ruin a new start for her.” Talia said.
“I would never think of doing that, I can't even fathom doing that to such a lively character like Stiles. And I am not, I repeat not, into her because of what her daughter said.” Peter defended himself.
“Then why would you want to be a relationship with her?”
“Because. Because I see the potential in her. Even just meeting her very briefly makes me want to wife her. I can't explain what it is. I. Just. Want. Her. So. Deeply.”
Talia and Rocklyn looked at each other and just knew what their brother was talking about. Talia had the same feeling about Rocklyn. She went nuts when he wasn't around. They met at a coffee shop back in the 80s and she instantly fell in love with him. Rocklyn on the other hand, he was the biggest skeptical person she ever laid eyes on. He wanted to go slow, he didn't think he was worth her or the time to be in her presence.
“If you feel that strongly about her, then don't pussyfoot around.”
Was that a blessing? It sounded like a blessing to Peter.
“I don't plan on it.” Peter responded.
“Alight, now that, that's squared away, let's talk about Saturday.” Tali said to her family.

Stiles couldn't believe the kind of day she had. First she got to sleep in a whole hour, score, second she met her daughters caregiver, third, she might've met the love of her life.
Shit.
She did not want to get involved with someone so quickly. Especially with someone who was so out of her league, she'd be stupid to want to do anything.
Yet.
Yet she was enthralled with one Peter Hale.
Strangely, she wanted to hop on that train and see where it would take her.
She is so glad that she is alone in the kitchen, with the occasional strangler.
Greminalinn Jennifer Stilinski. You. Do. Not. Need. That. Kind. Of. Distraction. She scolded herself.
Yet in a very teenager way, she thinks that Peter would be a very delicious distraction.
Get you hormones in check, you do not have the time for that. She thought.
But I could?
No. No I couldn't because I have Noelle and she's already getting attached.
But. But she wouldn't remember, but then again I'm not a monster.
Sighing, she went back to cooking the stuffed peppers and sauteed onions.
Boys, no men, no Peter Hale is an awful distraction right now. Stiles decided after all.
