Stiles Stilinski-Gilbert

Chapter 43

Stiles is cooking dinner while Jeremy plays video games in the living room and Peter heckles him from the sofa. Malia is currently in her coyote body having a silent tantrum over having to wear clothes when she doesn't as a coyote. It's great. Stiles had no idea his summer would end up turning out like this, he thought it was just going to end up being doing lots of work to get the house ready.

During this week on account of Peter planning on living in the house they decided to get rid of the stuff in the office and change it into another guest room. Also, Peter pointed out that the house had a basement that Stiles swears he has never seen before in his life. They headed down and found it mainly empty, with just a few boxes filled with Stiles old baby stuff in them. Peter plans n turning it into another bedroom ready for when his family show up so that each of them has a room for themselves.

They also ended up not needing to take Peter into the sheriff's station as Tara, having heard that Stiles was in town, came over to say high. While she was there, she noticed Peter and pointed out that he's currently considered a missing person from the hospital. Peter went straight into his diatribe about his nurse and Stiles could tell that Tara didn't believe all of Peter's story but enough was factly correct that Tara seemed to decide to not look into it any further. Small mercies.

A knock at the door breaks Stiles out of his thoughts.

"I'll get it." Jeremy calls out, so Stiles stays focused on the food in front of him.

"Who are you?! Where's our uncle?" Stiles hears growling and what sounds like Jeremy gasping.

Stiles takes the food out of the oven and sets it on the side before turning around and heading to the front door. He finds a woman holding his brother by the throat against the wall while a man stands glaring behind her.

"Excuse me, but I would highly suggest that you remove your hands from my brother before I make you remove them." Stiles warns causing the pair to turn and look at him and oh...red and blue eyes. This must be Derek and Laura.

"Where is our uncle?" Laura growls and allows her claws to come out.

"Laura Hale, your mother taught you better than to just go around threatening the first people you see! Let the boy go!" Stiles hears Peter's voice from behind him.

He watches as Laura flinches at the words before looking at Peter with wide teary eyes.

"Peter?" Derek gasps gruffly as he turns fully and wow that is some serious eyebrows.

"Yes nephew?" Peter asks innocently.

Laura lets go of Jeremy and walks over to Peter before pulling him into a hug that Derek quickly joins as Stiles and Jeremy watch the family reunion.

"I'm so sorry." Laura sobs as she holds onto Peter. "I'm so sorry for leaving you behind but after the fire so much was going on and I didn't know what was safe and Deaton said...so I thought...I'm so sorry uncle Peter."

Stiles watches Peter's face and the man looks like he's trying to keep his calm facade but is thoroughly failing.

After what feels like five minutes of hugging Stiles decides to break the silence.

"You guys are lucky that I make enough pasta bake for leftovers the next day. Now shall we have dinner? All of the heart felt apologises are making me hungry." Stiles jokes.

The family pulls apart and Laura looks at Stiles before looking back at Peter.

"Who is this?" Laura asks Peter.

"I'm Stiles and the boy you had by the throat is Jeremy. You're currently standing in my house...oh and I'm a kick ass magic user so threaten my brother again and I will hurt you. Welcome." Stiles smiles at the Hale's before walking off into the kitchen.
