"Where we going mommy?" Talia asked.

"Well, you've met uncle Daniel that was at the loft last week?" I asked them.

"Yeah. I think so....." Jacob said.

"Well, I had another brother. His name was Jacob." I said.

"Like Petey's middle name!" Talia said.

"Yes. Like his middle name." I said. "Well 3 and a half years ago, almost 4, he passed away." I said.

"Why?" Talia asked.

"How he die?" Jacob asked.

"I don't know why he died but he was killed by an alpha who lost his way." I said, because I didn't want to tell them it was their great uncle Peter who was in Eichen house for trying to kill Scott. "We are going to where we buried him. But his spirit is with grandma and grandpa Jones and grandma and grandpa Hale." I told them.

"They in heaven?" Jacob asked.

"Yes baby. They're in heaven." I said. "I'm gonna talk to him, and when I'm done you guys can talk to him." I said, as we arrived to the grave.

"Hey Jacob." I started. "I know I haven't come as often but you know that I have kids and they are hectic. Anyway. Today's my birthday. Derek gave me a letter from mom. It said keep you and Daniel safe. I failed her. I failed mom. I tried to keep you safe, but you wouldn't listen. You went in there. I tried to stop you. I tried to keep you safe but I let you die." Tears running down my face. "It's my fault." I whispered.

"No. It's not, Megan." I whipped my head around to see Stiles. "You tried to save him, yes. But it's not your fault." He came.

"Uncle Stiles!!" The kids yelled and ran to him.

"Hey guys." He said to them. "Megan, you didn't fail your mom. You tried your best to keep them safe. But, like you said, Jacob wouldn't listen. We were all there. You can't save everyone, neither can Scott." He said.

"But if both of us are working together, we should be able to. I should be able to protect my family. I can protect you, Scott, kira, lydia, the twins, derek, Isaac, Cora, and Daniel. But I couldn't protect Jacob. I can protect all of these people but I can't protect in either person? I can even protect your dad and Scott's mom." I said.

"That is too big of a burden for anyone." Stiles said. "Even an alpha." He finished. He opened his arms and I walked into them. He hugged me the way Jacob used to. I cried more. About 5 minutes later, I finished. I love waterproof mascara. "Happy birthday." Stiles said. I thanked him.

"Ok kiddos. Let's go to uncle Scott's house." I said. They raced back to the car. "Are you going to Scott's house too?" I asked him.

"Yeah. But I came here to bring flowers to my mom." He said. I just nodded.

"Kids! Stop pushing each other!!" I yelled. The kids were pushing each other and fighting until I yelled at them. I hate yelling at them but sometimes I do when needed. They looked like they were going to cry. Stiles picked up Talia to hold her while I put Peter in his car seat. "Baby. Mommy didn't want to yell but you can't push each other ok?" I asked and he nodded but his pouty lip was out. It quivered like he was going to cry. "Baby don't cry. Mommy still loves you." And I kissed his forehead. Stiles handed Talia to me even though she fought. Once she stopped squirming so much, I just rocked her. I felt tears on my neck. "Shh. Baby girl. Don't cry." I said as I patted her back. I walked over to the other side of the car and out her down. "I love you, baby girl." I said as I kissed her forehead.

"I love you too, mommy." She cried out. I smiled.

I got around to the drivers side. "Are you going to follow me or do you want me to follow you?" I asked Stiles.
