Helpful Hand (1)

Chapter 39

3 more episodes and we will finally make it to season 2. I'm so excited even though I am a little bit frustrated that it took me so long to write one season and it took so many chapters to do so.

Stay safe guys xoxo

NOT FULLY EDITED

Stile woke up to find himself in his room rather than on the floor where he was attacked. His vision was going in and out of focus but after rubbing his eyes for a couple of seconds the scenery around him became clear- he groaned as he struggled to push himself up until he felt a pair of hands-on his shoulder and lower back; supporting him. Stiles turned to see that Derek was the one that was helping him sit upright.

"It's good you are awake. You were scaring us for how long you've been out," Derek commented as he went across the room to grab a water bottle for Stiles.

Stiles took a few sips before he closed the cap and asked, "How long was I out?"

"The entire night. It's 11 already which is a shame because you missed an amazing breakfast," Derek gloated as he pointed towards the door. He took a seat on a random chair across from Stiles to keep his eyes on him while continuing their conversation.

"Well, I definitely won't miss lunch," Stiles grumbled in annoyance.

"Hayley is with Eve. They are going over the birth routine," Derek explains with a small smile tugging at his lips. Within all the chaos that was going on, he was looking forward to seeing Hayley give life to her daughter. He also really wanted to hold the child.

Stiles' eyes widen in shock as he momentarily forgot how much time has passed by. It felt like just yesterday Stiles had met Hayley and they both decided to become their miny pack as he swore to protect her and her child. Now, she was in her last trimester and could have the baby soon.

"Man, already? I've never seen someone give birth before," Stiles confessed as he realized he was going to be there for the birth. He always knew he was going to be there but he's finally processing the idea of it happening.

"I have. We were all home-birthed. It's not like there is a secret supernatural hospital someone can go to. Our type or werewolf, when mothers are giving birth their high heart rate could cause the eyes to glow or fangs or claws to appear; not something that you could just explain to the doctors," Derek explained with a faint chuckle to which Stiles reciprocated.

"Yeah, having to almost chop off your arm proved well enough or the number of times our pack has been injured is proof enough that there is no secret supernatural hospital."

Derek smirked as he replied, "Not sorry about that. I was close to dying after all."

Stiles rolled his eyes at that but soon became serious and asked, "What happened while I was on my bender?"

"You want to know?"

"Tell me everything."

Coincidentally, after Derek finished telling Stiles everything the young man had missed, Elijah had stopped by to talk about the deal the werewolves made with Klaus. Hayley, Derek, Stiles, Jackson, and Oliver were in the barn with Elijah waiting to talk.

"You're making a grave mistake," Elijah states as he takes off his scarf.

Oliver scoffed before sarcastically asking, "You're just worried about us, is that it?"

Jackson rolled his eyes at Oliver's comment but put his focus back on Elijah and explained, "We all know about your brother's reputation-" He took notice of how Elijah removed an outer layer jacket. Jackson looked back to Hayley who turned a quick eye and Stiles smirking while Derek kept a straight face forward. "-But if there is even a chance that these rings could help us take control of our curse..."
