The Stilinskis moved back to Beacon Hills when Noah got a job. Claudia was happy for him... but she didn't want to be back. She did love how close the Elementary School was to their new house. She loved how quaint their new house was. It was much bigger than their apartment in Veluxee. She had been working in the garden for hours, planting begonias, when she felt eyes on her back. She got up and swiped the dirt from her clothes, setting down her trowel. She walked to the School early to pick up Stiles.

Sitting on a bench outside, she heard the snickering and whispers of the other wives. She knew it was about her and assumed it was because she was all dirty, but she couldn't care less. She wasn't stupid. They were talking about how she was the first girl in the class of 88 to have a child four months after school ended. They all had children now. They were condemning her for giving up her first son.

"You know... it gets easier to listen to them squeak when they eventually get divorced or fat," a girl told her, sitting beside her on the bench, "How long have you been back, girlie?"

"Thank you, Melissa," Claudia played with her pixie-cut hair. She wasn't good at talking to someone she didn't like, so she gave her a small smile. They didn't talk, and the awkward silence was made even worse.

"Hey Claudia," Courtney walked over from the gaggle of wives to talk to her. She ignored Melissa. "What are you guys talking about?"

"What were you guys talking about?" She repeated the question.

"Oh, Angelica and I were just talking about how hard her adopting Jackson was and how he is reacting after finding out," Courtney shrugged.

"That's Angelica Fields?" She asked

"Angelica Whittemore now, she finally married David," Courtney waved her over, "I was just telling Claudia how hard it has been for Jacks,"

"Oh yeah... he has taken it so to heart... I wish he knew how much we love him," Angelica said, unaware of what Courtney was doing.

"I don't understand how someone can give up a beautiful being that they grew in their bodies... it's just so upsetting. Angelica, you are truly a hero,"

"I don't understand how people's faces aren't mistaken for toys with the amount of plastic in them," Claudia clapped back. All three had gotten countless operations to their faces since they graduated. Melissa snorted, attempting to hold in laughter. She was glad she wasn't at the end of Claudia's quips for once because they were entertaining. The ring of the bell dismissal could have been mistaken for a fighting ring match at that time. The three broke their glaring at Claudia when the doors opened, and kids started spilling out.

Claudia was happy to see Stiles hanging off a boy as they walked out of the office, Jessica was at the boy's feet, and the boy was trying to show how strong he was as he struggled to keep walking with them hanging off of him.

"Scott, you better give up, or they are going to embarrass you," Melissa laughed at the three goofballs; Claudia raised her eyebrows and saw the resemblance of Melissa and Rafael in Scott's face.

"Momma, Momma! Can I go to Scott's house? He has a trampoline!" Stiles asked, pulling at Claudia's shirt. She pets his hair, noticing he is just as dirty as her.

"I don't know, Beelzebub, we got to get you clean. Your father wants to show us off to his new cop buddies," She told him. She called him Beelzebub because he was mischievous and always eating something. She chose not to think of the negatives of that name, and other mothers' judged her for nicknaming her son after the Demon of Gluttony.

"Awe..." Stiles said he was upset he didn't get to go to Scotts, but he loved cops and wanted to ask them questions. He would have to locate the questions notebook he uses when he asks his dad or his partner questions.

"Mom, Can Scott come home with us? I want to show him my PlayStation," Jessica asked. Courtney sighed.

"Guys... they are just kids," Melissa scoffed under his breath.

"Of course, sweetie," Courtney said, and Scott cheered with Jessica.

"You can come to jump on my trampoline another day, okay, buddy?" Scott said, not wanting to leave Stiles out.

The walk was silent back to the house. Stiles was stomping with his arms crossed. Claudia sighed and put and hand on Stiles' shoulder, "Beelzebub... I know it sucks to be the third wheel,"

"No, you don't! Jessica always steals my friends away," Stiles said, upset.

"Sweetie, I am sorry... I want you to hang out with him?"

"Who? Scott? What did he ever do to you?" Stiles pouted his lip; Claudia cleaned the dirt off his chin and tilted his head up.

"He has evil inside of him, Stiles... I don't want you to be around him,"
