The Gods and The Supernatural TW/PJO (Strerek) [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 19

Mom was putting her son to bed and just like every night, his curiosity got the better of him. "Mom?" "Hmm?" "Why does everyone call you mom? Like the ones who aren't actually your kids." Talia smiled down at her son.

She was used to the questions and expected one every night by now. "Well I am your mom and you dad is your dad but we are also the pack's mom and dad. Now usually the pack mom and dad are the alpha and their mate but really it is the couple or pair that takes care of the pack."

"The pack have their own parents but what I mean by we are also the pack mom and dad is that we are the ones who take care of them, the ones who guide them and comfort them when they need it." Thalia said trying to explain it as easy as possible.

"I wanna be just like you and dad when I grow up! I wanna take care of my pack too!" Derek said excitedly. Thalia laughed and leaned down placing a kiss on her son's forehead as he snuggled into his blanket, ready for bed.

"I have no doubt that you will." she said as she turned of the lights and closed the door behind her.

Derek woke up from his dream to Isaac screaming at the top of his lungs. He could see that Stiles immediately went to comfort him and he could smell the fear coming off of Liam so he looked over and saw the look on the pup's face.

He immediately went to go hug him and started reassuring him that it would be okay as he heard Stiles with Isaac "Shh. It's okay, pup. You're safe. He can't get you anymore, he's gone. I promise. Shhh." Stiles lulled at Isaac until he had fallen back to sleep.

After Stiles had reassured both Isaac and Liam that everything would be okay and had gotten them to go back to sleep Derek could heard Stiles say "That was hard." Derek looked over at his mate a little confused.

"Watching Isaac go through that was hard. I expected the nightmares and the triggers but witnessing him having one of those nightmares was absolutely heartbreaking, however short it was."

"I'm glad I was here to calm him down though." Stiles said as he looked down Isaac, running his hands through his hair earning a content sigh from the werewolf. Derek couldn't help but look at Stiles and think back to the times his mother did the same for him 'He's a natural.'

"Let's go back to bed." was all he said as he shuffled close towards Stiles, careful not to wake Liam and Isaac, and kissed him lightly on the lips before leaning back on the pillow and both going to sleep with smiles on their faces.

Derek had thought about the word 'pup' slipping from his mouth a couple of times the last few days and he also noticed the little slip with Stiles only a few hours ago as well. He knew now, after the dream, that he and Stiles had become the pack's mom and dad.

He was surprised at first but it only lasted a few minutes before he was over the moon. He's actually getting to be like parents! And with Stiles no less! Derek swore that in that moment, he couldn't be any happier.

The next morning Derek and Stiles were up before any one else so they headed downstairs as quietly as possible careful not to wake anyone up, including Deaton as they walked past the living room towards the kitchen.

Derek went straight to the coffee maker as Stiles got some ingredients that he needed for breakfast. He decided on french toast and some eggs with a fruit salad for those who wanted it. Once the coffee was done brewing Derek served two mugs full.

He put some creamer and sugar in both, extra creamer for Stiles, and handed it to Stiles as he finished making all of the french toast and was getting started on the eggs. Stiles gave Derek a grateful smile as he took a second to take in the delightful smell of the delicious drink.

Stiles took a sip and let out a content sigh as Derek wrapped his arms around Stiles waist from behind him. Stiles put the mug down on the counter and started breaking the eggs in the pan. When he started to stir them scrambled he leaned back on Derek with closed eyes.

Stiles loved mornings like these where it was just him and Derek. No one else. And sometimes he really needed to just be with Derek. Stiles took a deep breath as he finished up the eggs and placed them on a tray.

He and Derek started cutting up the fruits as his dad, Melissa, Chris, Peter, and Deaton walked in to the kitchen. "Good morning guys. I hope you all slept well! Breakfast is almost ready so can you all go wake everyone up please?" Stiles said with a smile.

To say they were all pretty shocked by this was an understatement. Chris and Peter were shocked that no one questioned the fact that they were holding hands and Melissa and Noah were shocked by the fact that the two were already up and making breakfast before them.

Deaton wasn't really that surprised by the scene because he'd had a suspicion that Stiles and Derek were mates. Thy all just nodded and walked out to wake everyone else up while Derek and Stiles went to set the table.

They had placed plates, utensils, and cups for everyone around the table and placed the orange juice, milk, and water in the center of the table for everyone to get what they wanted while they served the adults coffee and put the creamer and sugar on the table.

Just as they placed the french toast and egg trays on the table the pups and everyone else came walking into the kitchen, some still rubbing the sleep from their eyes and some wide awake. Stiles went around and served everyone a serving.

The girls, the pups, and the demigods simply said thank you while some of the werewolves whined and said they wanted more but Stiles just scolded them and reminded that they could always get more when they finished.

As soon as everyone took their first bite moans could be heard throughout the room. Everyone started complimenting Stiles on what an amazing job he'd done with the food. He just blushed and said "Hey I learned from the best, all credits go to mama McCall."

"I only taught you what I knew, you were the one who'd your own twist to things. And I don't recall adding vanilla to my french toast mix." she said with a smile and a wink. Stiles just ate his food with a blush on his face as conversation started around the table.
