Stiles is a Mikaelson

Damon's Pov

She said it so simply, like it was just another normal thing in the world. Like the idea of bringing a baby into this mess wasn't terrifying.

And for the first time all day, I let myself breathe.

I thanked her, paid for everything, and walked out into the cold March air, my chest still tight, my head still spinning.

But as I sat in my car, staring down at the baby box resting in the passenger seat, a small, unexpected smile crept across my lips.

This was happening.

And I was finally ready to tell Stiles.

Damon's Pov

The drive home was quiet.

The grocery bags rustled in the backseat every time I made a turn, and the little white gift box sat perfectly still on the passenger seat, like a silent reminder of the massive bomb I was about to drop on Stiles.

I gripped the steering wheel a little tighter.

This wasn't something I could just blurt out the second I walked through the door. I had to be smart about it. Because if I didn't handle this right, Stiles was going to lose his mind.

We had talked about more kids in theory—the kind of vague conversation that didn't actually require a decision. We had agreed that one day we might try for another. One day when the triplets weren't so young, when our lives weren't so chaotic.

Well.

One day had decided to show up way ahead of schedule.

I drummed my fingers against the wheel, considering my options.

Option One: The Immediate Approach

I walk inside, set the gift box on the counter, and say, "Hey, babe, guess what? I'm pregnant."

Pros:

1. No buildup. Just rip the band-aid off.

2. Stiles wouldn't have time to overthink.

Cons:

1. Stiles would panic immediately.

2. There's a 75% chance he would short-circuit and forget how to form words.

3. Possible hyperventilation.

Option Two: The Casual Approach

I wait until we're both relaxed—maybe later tonight, after the triplets go to bed. Then, I casually slide the box over and watch his face as he opens it.

Pros:

1. He'd have the time to process it without the kids running around.

2. Less risk of immediate freak-out.

Cons:

1. I'd have to sit on this secret for hours.

2. There's still a 50% chance of hyperventilation.
