Mother's Day
Today is Mother's Day, usually a day were you spend it with your mother or adoptive mother, in other cases, and celebrate with them. Sadly, not everybody has the luxury of spending that day with their mothers.
Isaac's mother died when he was 9. She was the sound and the laughter running through their house. She was the person that made his father laugh until he cried. She was the person that could make Candem lose his cool teenager attitude and talk to Isaac. When she left, a piece of Isaac's happiness left with her.
Stiles mom was Stiles in female form. That's what his dad always says. He says that sometimes when he misses her too much all he has to do is look into Stiles huge Bambi eyes and he remembers the good ol days. It pains him to know that he can't remember what his moms voice sound like or how she would sing to him every night when she tucked him in. Seeing her waste away in that hospital bed will always haunt him.
Derek's mother was a fierce, strong and smart woman. She was one of the most feared alphas in all of the 50 states, not because of her fierceness but because of her undying love to her family and her friends. He remembers the way other alphas would cower under her stare, even though she was a very small woman. Her bark was definetly worse than her bite. She was Derek's role model as soon as he saw the power and love she held in her eyes. Knowing that her death was his fault, as much as everybody fights with him that it wasn't, is a guilt that he will neve be able to bear.
Allison's mother was a tough person to love. Don't get her wrong, she loved her with all her heart, but sometimes gaining her love was a competition Allison sometimes wished she never entered. She remembers the day a girl stole her lunch box and Allison pulled the little girls hair until she gave it back, most mothers would scold their daughters and tell them not to do it. Allison's mother patted her on the shoulder and with the biggest smile on her face told her never to do it again. She was a tough woman. So when she heard his father tell her that she commited suicide it made no sense, but when she heard the truth, it made a little more sense. She didn't get it completely but she reasoned that it made better sense in her mothers brain washed mind. Knowing that Derek was the one that took her mother away was too much to bear some days.

In past Mother's Day's, the way these four grieving people acted is a lot different than the way they act today.
The first times on Mother's Day they agreed to spend it together because all four of them knew what it was like to lose their mothers.
Allison and Derek couldn't look at eachother in the eyes, they could barely talk in the same direction.
Isaac couldn't bear to be touched and would flinch at any sudden movement.
Stiles wouldn't speak. At all. He maintained his silence and only spoke when absolutely necessary.
It was hard for the rest of the pack, to see them like this and know that they couldn't do anything about it.
......
Now it's gotten better.
Allison and Derek have forgiven each other and now they can support eachother through the horribly sad day. Derek lets himself grieve now and the guilt he bears on his shoulders has lessend by a lot.
Isaac lets himself be touched and smiles, they're small sometimes forced smiles but it's something.
Stiles doesn't talk as much as he usually does but now he can manage small conversations with the rest of the pack.
Sometimes Jackson comes around and hangs out with them, he didn't meet his birth mother but the pain of losing his mother is still there.
The rest of them try to do anything they can to make the day less bearable.
.......
Mother's Day is still a hard for all four of them sometimes but with the rest of the pack it's not as bad.
