Unexpected (stydia)

Chapter 37

A/N sorry for the long wait, my mental health and anxiety, and school haven't been good lately. I have also had writer's block but I promise I am trying to update as much as possible! I hope you all understand and I am sorry for the long wait again. 

===========

'Oh my god, Benny shut up please!' Stiles yelled and pulled at his hair, annoyed. 

It had been months since the kanima, Matt and Gerard but everything was still up in the air as for supernatural wise which was stressing everyone out. 

Right now Benny was having a tantrum about literally nothing. It was 8 pm and he should be asleep but Stiles didn't want him to cry any louder. He was just screaming and yelling for Lydia and whenever Stiles tried to calm him down, nothing worked. His dad was at work and Stiles felt too stressed to cope with this. 

That's when he heard the doorbell. He sighed and practically sped to the door off the couch, moving further away from Benny.  He got to the door and opened it up and saw Lydia, 'Lydia! Thank god.' 

'what's going on? Your text seemed urgent.' 

'It is! Benny is having a tantrum and I can't- he won't-' Stiles sighed and ran a hand through his now grown hair. Lydia nodded slowly and soon heard the crying from her son which sounded like sirens. She walked into the house and went to the living room and seeing Benny sat on the couch, tears on his face. 

Lydia sighed and leaned down to take Benny into her arms, 'mama!' Benny yelled happily and suddenly stopped crying when noticing Lydia which Stiles scoffed at while he watched the scenes in front of him. Lydia held Benny to her chest, rubbing his back. That seemed to calm him down and then Benny was sleeping on her shoulder. Lydia went to look around at Stiles but he was gone. She rolled her eyes and guessed he would be upstairs where she was going to be heading anyway. 

She walked up the stairs still holding her son, soon getting to Stiles' bedroom and opening the door, seeing Stiles facing his wall with all the crime/supernatural-related stuff on. He looked behind him and noticed her walk in, keeping silent as he watched her lie Benny down into his cot. She looked back at Stiles while Stiles just sighed again, finally speaking, 'I don't get that kid sometimes.' he said quietly, referring to Benny. 'one second he likes me then suddenly he hates me and won't let me calm him down-' he moved from the wall and sat down onto the edge of his bed. 

Lydia agreed and sat down next to him, 'I know...he's like that with me too. But I guess it's just a part of growing up. Toddlers have tantrums and we just have to get through them all.' Lydia laughed slightly at the end of her sentence. Stiles nodded, 'I can't wait till he g-' he abruptly stopped speaking, knowing what he was going to say wasn't true. 'yeah, don't say that.' Lydia laughed again slightly. 'yeah...' Stiles nodded, 'I never want him to grow up but it's gonna happen and we can't stop it.' 

'true...' Lydia whispered then looked sideways at Stiles, 'I was thinking we could get one of those 'big boy beds'' Lydia smiled, putting her fingers into the air and doing air quotes and looking back to the ground. Stiles laughed and nodded, 'yeah, I think he'd like that' he smiled. Lydia looked back up and looked into his eyes which Stiles did too. 

Stiles started getting memories...

Weeks ago 

Stiles just had a panic attack which Lydia stopped by kissing him which Stiles was thankful for, it felt like he was going to die. They were both sat against the grey metal behind them in the changing room. The kiss just happened and they were both sat there. 'um, how are you after Jackson...?' Stiles asked awkwardly. 

Lydia looked at him, 'you just had a panic attack and you are asking me about this?' Stiles shrugged, 'it will take my mind off that I just had a panic attack.' 

'okay.' Lydia smiled. She paused for a few seconds thinking about how she was going to respond to the question. 'I mean, I'm fine. He's still one of my friends and I am not in love with him anymore. We still text, he's going on dates in London with guys he has met.' 

'Woah, that's great for him...' 

Lydia nodded, 'yeah.' she looked at him in the eye as did Stiles.  

Lydia cleared her throat and looked away after moments of looking at each other, 'we should...get going.' she murmured. 'find your dad and Allison's dad and Scott's mom right?' 

Stiles' eyes widened as he realised why he had a panic attack in the first place. 'yeah...' they both got up off the floor, Stiles rushing out with Lydia following. 

Back

Stiles and Lydia hadn't talked about it yet. The kiss. When Lydia kissed him and what happened after with their eye contact. Everything had got so crazy after finding his dad. Yes the kiss was helping with his panic attack but the look she saw in her eyes after she did, there was something there. 

And they were still looking into each other's eyes right now in the present, the both of them getting Déjà vu. Stiles soon came back to reality and looked away, coughing slightly. 'do...do you want me to show you what I have going on here?' Stiles pointed to his wall where the board was. Lydia nodded and watched Stiles get up and walk to his board. 

After some talking about everything, Lydia was lying down on her stomach, facing Stiles' back. 

'what do the different color strings mean?' Lydia asked him. Stiles looked around, 'green is solved and yellow is to be determined.' he paused, 'oh and blue is just pretty.' he turned back around and looked at the board. 

'what about red?' 

'unsolved.' Stiles answered quickly. 'you only have red on the board.' Lydia added on. Stiles looked back again, 'yeah. I'm awake.' he said sarcastically. 

Lydia decided to brush it off and she started playing with some of the red string that Stiles left on the bed. 'did you get a detention for pulling the alarm?' she asked him. Referring to what happened today at school with Barrow. 'yep. Every day this week but it's ok though, we were onto something.' he turned around and looked at her again then. Lydia doubted that as they all believed her that Barrow was there (as Lydia is 'something' or well a banshee after Jennifer said) but he wasn't, they found no proof that he could have been there. 'even though we could find no proof of Barrow being there?' Lydia asked, repeating her words out loud. 

Stiles looked back at her and as soon as he saw that she was upset, he walked toward her to his bed, kneeling by the edge on the floor, facing her. 'you have been right every single time something like this has happened.' he told her, 'don't start doubting yourself now...' 

'but there was no scent, no bomb and I got you into trouble...' she spoke guilty back. 'okay...' Stiles whispered and started unwrapping the red string off of Lydia's fingers. 'Barrow was there. I know it and you know it. You felt it Lydia.' he paused, still unwrapping the string. 'and you know, if you wanted me too, I would go back to school right now and search all night to prove it to you.' he told her truthfully, the string now unwrapped of her fingers. Lydia smiled warmly and looked down, feeling so grateful that she had this boy in her life. Stiles smiled too admirably, looking down. 

Seconds later, he looked back up. 'can...we please talk about what happened a few weeks ago? Because the suspense is killing me.' Stiles asked her desperately. Lydia looked up, shocked slightly but nodded. 'I'm sorry Stiles, I didn't talk about it...I um wasn't sure if you wanted me to? I don't know.' 

Stiles nodded in reply still silent. Lydia then put her hand on his, making Stiles look at her again. After a few other moments of staring, soon both of them starting leaning in for a kiss but...

Benny started crying. 

Stiles and Lydia who's nosing were now nearly touching, both let out laughs at hearing Benny cry. I mean, of course, that happened.
