Can You Forgive Me?

Chapter 10 A Parents Thoughts

Kira was left at the house for once when Scott said he was going out with Stiles. Kira would have questioned it, but she didn't have the energy and it had been ages since just Scott and Stiles had gone out together and when they had the baby there wouldn't be much time, so she thought it would be great for them to get out together. Kira was just sitting on the couch when Melissa came in the door from work, she looked tired and half dead, but surviving.

"Hi Melissa, you okay?" When she collapsed on the couch next to the pregnant 17 year old and just looked at her with eyes which looked like they had all of their spark drained out, which was really an accurate description.

"Long shift, where's Scott?" Kira couldn't help but laugh at the incapacitated nurse sitting next to her.

"He went out with Stiles to do something, but he wouldn't tell me what and neither would Stiles." Melissa had this look of strong disapproval spread across her face.

" I'm going to kill thy boy, I can't believe he left his pregnant girlfriend at home on the couch by herself." Again Kira couldn't help but laugh at Melissa.

"I told him to go and besides, it's not like I'm 7 months pregnant, I'm only like 2 weeks in, so it's not like I can take care of myself." Melissa understood, but she wanted to know where Scott went because unless it was important he wouldn't have left Kira by herself at the house when Kira suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"What do you think about the baby?" Melissa thought how to say the things she wanted to say without being offensive.

"Well I always wanted to be a grandma, but I didn't think it would come this early. I can see that it makes you two happy, so I really don't mind and I mean Scott can't wait and he's having no second thoughts and as long as you aren't either then I think both of you will be great parents because you love each other and I overheard something that Malia was saying to Stiles the other day when they we're hear and it sounds like you really, really love each other and by the way do you know why there's scratch marks on the wall behind Scott's bed? Because I have no idea how they're getting there!" Kira instantly had a mortified look on her face as she looked down at her nails and could remember scratching them down the walls the same time Stiles and Malia caught them and that was when she heard Melissa laughing with a smirk across her face and gave her a little nudge. "Sorry, but that was for laughing at me when I collapsed on the couch." Kira looked down at her nails before looking back at Melissa with a look of worry spread across her face.

"Melissa, do you think that Scott still loves me the same way and do you think that he will love the baby?" Melissa was shocked that she had asked the question, but she remembered asking herself the same question when she was having Scott, so she understood.

"Kira, Scott will love that baby no matter what, no matter where, no matter when and when it comes to you, he's crazy about you and he loves you more than he can express and now he loves you in another way . . . As the mother of his child and unless he's a complete idiot he will always love you. Besides don't wolves have a very strong sense of loyalty and love for their mate and their pack?" Kira looked down at her nails once more and let a smile cross her face and a sense of happiness fill her body.

"Yes, . . . Yes they do."

"Scott why are we at the mall when you could be at home spending time with Kira and I could be spending time with Malia?" He said as they walked closer to the mall and suddenly they ran into a woman with vibrant red hair and when she turned around it was Lydia. "And why did you invite Lydia?" Scott laughed at his best friend and he put a hand on his shoulder.

"Because we're going shopping and who better to help us than the shopping queen herself?" Lydia smiled as she heard Scott call her the shopping queen.

"Well said, but let's find what you came for before we get too excited."

"And what exactly are we looking for Scott?" Scott looked at his best friend for a second before turning back towards Lydia.

"We're looking for a ring Stiles." Stiles was about to ask a ring for what when he figured out that it was for Kira. "And I invited Lydia because as a girl and as Kira's best friend I'm sure she would know better than us." Stiles stammered for a second before asking the obvious question.

"Scott you work as a vets assistant how are you going to afford a nice ring?"

"I called in a favour from Peter through Derek and Malia and they had absolutely no objections because of the circumstances." Stiles and Lydia both laughed.

"Well if the sour wolf gave you money then we should have no problem getting a beautiful ring." Scott looked at Stiles and chuckled.

"Dd you just come up with that name for Derek?" Stiles nodded and Scott couldn't help, but laugh a little more. "He's going to hate it, so I wouldn't use it unless you want your," Stiles saw where this was going and finished Scott's sentence before he could finish it himself.

"Throat ripped out, yeah I got it." They walked through the mall for a little before they got to a beautiful jewellery shop. Lydia walked in with Scott and told the guy in charge what she was looking for because she knew what Kira would want and after about 5 minutes Lydia pointed one specific ring, it was simple, but beautiful and had a huge diamond on top.

"Scott that is exactly what she would want and it's in the price range with the money you got from Derek." Scott smiled and knew Lydia was right, that was exactly what Kira would want.

"We'll take that one thanks." He turned to Lydia and gave her a hug. "Thanks for your help Lydia, I know you had to take some time out of your 'busy' day, but thank you so much." She smiled and snickered a little before talking again.

"Please, Scott I know as soon as you saw it you knew it was exactly what she would want and I could see it in your eyes. You didn't need my help, but you did the right thing by asking me to help because he would have been useless." She pointed over to Stiles who was looking at the really ugly rings and Scott couldn't help but laugh with the strawberry blonde as he gave over the money for the rings that they picked out. Scott stared into the bag and he could see his future with Kira in it and it made him the happiest . . . 17 year old werewolf alive . . .
