Our Pack is Our Family (Hiatus)

Chapter 17

Something wicked this way comes.

I can feel it, day by day, this growing feeling. It's building up to the point where I'm not sleeping properly. All I can feel is the knowing that the wicked thing coming is getting closer and closer. 

It's the day before Christmas Eve, it's supposed to be a happy time but everyone just seems more on edge, the feeling of their angst through the pack bond is just making this feeling even worse. But we have to wait, we don't know when they'll be here, it could be in 5 minutes, it could be in 5 days. All the little ones are currently staying at Noah's, I know the hunters, or whatever is after us, won't go to the sheriff's house, not when he's human. So Jace, Scar, Kyla, Samson, and Tyson are staying there with Peter and Chris till we give the 'all clear'. I miss my babies but right now I don't wanna risk them getting hurt, now I know how my parents felt when they left me with Noah. 

The packs' train has been getting more intense as the days go on, even my birth family join in now. Everyone trying to get ready for this fight that we don't even know when it's gonna happen, but we need to be ready, we need to be prepared. I've put wards up around the town, preserve and everyone in the pack's houses' (including Noahs), so if anyone not in the pack or not trusted/new crosses the wards, me, Jack, Mum and Gabriel will know. I think I'll keep the wards up, even after this fight, it'll come in handy if there are other threats. The wards only go off if the ora or soul of the person coming into the town is off or darkened.

Right now, it's 4 pm. The pack and I have finished training and are getting washed up. All I have to do is click my fingers and I'm clean, so me and the other angelic beings are prepping stuff for dinner. Just because there's a war going on, doesn't mean we can't eat good. Tonights menu is Gammon and Chicken steaks, eggs, fries, salad and corn-on-the-cob for mains, and lemon meringue pie for dessert. Jace's favourite dinner and Scarlet's favourite dessert. Can you tell I miss my pups? 

"Is that pie?" I look up from the pie I was making and see my dad. Ah, his love of pie never seems to falter.

"Yes, yes it is. It's Scarlet's favourite. I've made enough to store for when she and Jace can finally be home and for you to take one or two home when you eventually get to leave. I know, I'm amazing!" I'm not gonna let this whole ordeal get to me and my sass or sarcasm. So I'm tryna keep everything positive and make jokes. as often as I can. It's not that easy but I'm trying.

"You are the best son ever! You can bake! Your mum and brother cannot bake, trust me. Sure they can click a pie into existence but-"

"Nothing beats a homemade pie. I know, love. You say that a lot." Mum cuts dad off with an amused yet slightly kicked puppy kinda look. So that's where Jacks learnt the puppy dog eyes from, I thought Gabe taught him it so he can use it against my parents. Guess not.

"Sorry babe, but you can't bake. Not like Stiles can." my dads mumbles while giving my mum a back hug.

"Not to be biased, but Stiles is probably the best cook I know. And I know a few." Derek says as he emerges into the kitchen.

"We get it, babe. You ate a lot of food when you lived in New York. Now, go get all the pups, dinners almost ready and it's Theo and Kiras night to set the table. Also remind Cora, Hayden and Aiden it's their turn on dishes. And Isaac, Jackson and Scott that's they're on clean up duty." He just nods and walks away again. 

"Fucking hell, how do you remember all their names. I just come up with nicknames for them depending on what they're doing. I only remember Allison cuz shes Katniss and she shot me with an arrow." I look to Gabriel and just shrug. He's an arch-angel, shouldn't his memory be great.

"They're my pack, of course I know all their names." I state, going back to my pies.

"Name them all then." Gabe challenges. I stand up straight. I hear Derek come back in, the pups behind him. they're all smirking at Gabe, which to anyone else would be weird and freaky. probably is to Gabe.

"Me, Derek Hale, Scott McCall, Isaac Hale, Lydia Martin, Allison Argent, Erica Hale, Vernon Boyd, Liam Hale, Brett Talbot, Theo Raeken, Kira Yukimura, Malia Hale, Corey Hale, Mason Hewitt, Chris Argent, Peter Hale, Jackson Hale, Ethan Hale, Danny Mahealani, Aiden Mahealani, Hayden Romero, Cora Hale, Jason Hale, Scarlet Hale, Kyla McCall, Samson Hale, Tyson Hale, Jordan Parrish/Camden Lahey, Braeden Lahey, Noah Stilinski, Melissa McCall, Alan Deaton, Nollan Holloway, Gabe Holloway, Alec McCall. And last but not least the un-named Hale twins. Did i miss anyone?" I finish with a smirk. Gabe is just standing there, mouth open in shock. Did I just manage to shut up THE trickster? Hell Yeah!

"Nope, I think you got everyone Babe." Derek claims as he wraps his arms around me.

"I don't even think I've met half of those people." Gasp Gabe, whos finally managed to talk.

"Well, Jordan/Camden is Isaacs older brother. He supposedly died in the army. But when Jordan came to town as a newly recruited deputy, he told me he woke up after an explosion during the army not remembering much and got sent home. Turns out they got Camden and the real Jordan Parrish mixed up. I did a little digging and bam! Jordan is actually Camden. But since all his records are now Jordan and he feels bad that he stole someone else's identity, he's just rolling with the name. But Isaac calls him Camden most of the time. I just call him Hell boy since he's a were-hell hound. Braeden is his wife, she's human but she's a supernatural bounty hunter. She also had a fling with Derek but that's a story for another time. Nolan, Gabe and Alec are currently in Africa helping with building schools. They aren't married but they like to go by Holloway (aka the writer doesn't know their last names) and Alec is Scott's brother, Melissa adopted him when Scott found him running from hunters. Alec is a werewolf, Nolan and Gabe are ex-hunters." I finally pause and see everyone staring at me. "And that was one of the biggest rambles of my life, not counting when I talk about Marvel, DC or Star Wars. Why is no one shutting me up? And what are you all looking at? Do I have something on my face?" Scott points behind me,  I quickly turn and see my long lost pups standing in the doorway. I quickly pull all 3 pups into a hug and notice Hellboy and Scarface there too. I quickly rush to them and hug them. OMG! All my grown pups and family are home! I don't really count Camden and Braeden as my pups, more like my annoying brother and sister-in-law. But they're still pack, still family. I just need all the babies home now. But, holy chuck, I actually feel better now.

"So, we missed the first fight. Ain't planning on missing this one." Camden says as he pulls Isaac into a headlock. I roll my eyes at them but nod and smile. I'm happy Isaac still has someone left in his biological family.

"Good. You better be ready. Cause it's almost time."

Thunder crashes outside! Fuck! I spoke too soon.

"Something wicked just arrived!"
