My dog has to wear a cat collar with a bell cause she's so tiny.

Stiles walked down the school hall with Scott both of them making their ways towards lacrosse practice. Today was the day Stiles was quitting for the sake of the baby, he definitely didn't want to hurt it by doing something stupid like playing lacrosse. Scott was completely oblivious towards Stile's decisions and his pregnancy. Stiles lugged around his heavy equipment in his large sports bag almost ready to collapse and fall asleep.

They made their way to the lacrosse field coach Finstock was yelling commands at some of the running boys on the field, Stiles had to admit he'd miss that and his team but he was doing it for the baby. Stiles dropped his bag by the bleachers and walked up to Finstock fear running through his veins. Finstock looked up from his clip board a scowl on his face Stiles had picked the wrong day.

"Bilinski go change and run twenty laps around the field." Finstock barked but Stiles only sighed.

"Coach, I can't-"

"And why not?" He interrupted Stiles.

"Coach I'm quitting the team." Stiles bit the inside of his cheek.

"You're what now?" Finstock gaped at Stiles.

"I'll be back next year-but-but this year I just can't." Stiles felt a lump form in his throat.

"Stiles if this is one of your stupid jokes it's not funny." Finstock crossed his arms over his chest.

"Its not coach..I'm sorry." Stiles spoke barely above a whisper.

"Leave, and return all your equipment by next week." Finstock glared and Stiles nodded running back to his bag getting bugged eyed stares from Scott and Isaac.

"I'll see you guys later." Stiles muttered at the two walking to the parking lot without a look back.

Leaning on his car was a guy with pale skin and bright pink hair. Stiles recognized him from early he was one of the many creatures Peter had bugged enough to want him dead. Stiles sighed adjusting his bag on his shoulder not in the mood to deal with any creatures today.

"Is there a reason you're on my car." Stiles grunted.

"I'm Galaxia, pleasure to meet you." Galaxy ignored Stiles's comment.

"And I care because?" Stiles dropped his bag by his feet feeling his back start to ache from its weight.

"Because a baby wolf told me there's a special friend in your stomach." Galaxy kicked off the car a smile on his face.

"Derek told you?" Stiles gaped at the fairy.

"It was more of an educated guess." Galaxy smirked.

"Well congrats, can I leave now." Stiles sighed.

"No, actually I was wondering if I could talk to you in private." Galaxy became serious once again.

"Okay, sure let's go to my house or the woods or somewhere else you can murder me in secret." Stiles grumbled sarcastically.

Galaxy let out a tinkle of laughter, "I like you and trust me I have no intention of killing you."

"Great I'm calling Derek." Stiles dead panned gaining a glare from the fairy.

"My intentions are strictly pure." Galaxy shook his head.

"Great so you'll have no problem if I call Derek and tell him to meet us at my house." Stiles wiggled his phone.

"You know what? Fine. Call the baby wolf and I'll talk to the two of you." Galaxy scowled.

"Awesome." Stiles dials Derek's number as Galaxy walks to the passenger side of the jeep.

Stiles tosses his bag in the back and gets in the driver's side. Galaxy is silent watching as Stiles shuts the door and starts the car. The rumble of the engine makes him tense but he practices his breathing, Stiles pulls out of the parking lot the same time Derek answers his phone.

"Hello?" Stiles could hear the grogginess in Derek's voice and he couldn't help but smile.

"Sorry to wake you." Stiles spoke softly still smiling.

"No it's fine, uhm-are you okay?" Derek yawns.

"Actually right besides me is your friend galaxy." Stiles informs Derek, "and he says he wants to speak with us privately."

"I'll be up in five come to my loft." That wakes Derek up a lot quicker and Stiles nods even though Derek can't see it.

"We're on our way." Stiles sighed before hanging up.

Galaxy gave Stiles a forced smile he really didn't like this car. He hated how it smelled, and made a weak cough from the engine when Stiles drove a little faster then usual. Stiles noted that still keeping quiet.

"What type of creature are you?" Stiles broke the silence curiosity getting the better of him.

"Fairy." Galaxy spoke through clenched teeth.

"Oh, That makes more sense now." Stiles grins getting a glare from galaxy.

"It's not my fault mankind built such large death traps for everyone." Galaxy blurts out his face red.

"Whatever you say." Stiles shrugs pulling into Derek's loft parking lot.

He can see Derek standing out in the front holding the door open bare foot and in joggers. Stiles couldn't help but let a smile cross his face as he parks his car, Galaxy practically tears the door open gasping. Stiles snickered under his breath enjoying the fact that the fairy had an unnecessary fear of his jeep. Derek smiled at the sight of Stiles and frowned at the sight of Galaxy, knowing whatever it was that the fairy wanted to talk about was nothing good.

"Baby wolf! What a pleasure to see you!" Galaxy grinned and Derek gave him a short smile taking Stiles's hand.

"Wish I could say the same." Derek discreetly checked Stiles to see if he had any marks indicating he had been hurt or not.

"Both of you are very hostile, the perfect couple indeed." Galaxy stepped into Derek's loft with wondering eyes.

"We're not hostile just tired." Stiles became defensive.

Galaxy only shrugged taking a seat on Derek's couch. Derek sighed and took the seat across from the fairy, Stiles walked away and went to the fridge deciding he was hungry. Derek bit back a grin when Stiles returned with an armful of snacks. Galaxy didn't seem phased by the amount of food Stiles had.

"I've come to you both to talk to you about your future." Galaxy sits up.

"Well obviously I'm going to college." Stiles points out and Galaxy nods.

"Actually this is more about your baby." Galaxy smiles, "they will be very important in the future."

"How important?" Derek is automatically interested.

"Very. Many fairies seem to be in a trance of awe from your unborn child." Galaxy murmurs, "they are very special indeed."

"You know you're being very vague." Stiles is so close up Derek that their thighs are touching but nether seem to notice.

"Unless you want spoilers." Galaxy teased.

"No." Derek and Stiles frown simultaneously.

"So I'll continue to be vague." Galaxy smiles, "you see the faith of all of us lays in your baby's hands."

"That's an awful lot of pressure to put on somebody who's not even born yet." Stiles seems a bit defensive as he bites into his sandwich.

"Yeah I don't think I like the sound of that." Derek shakes his head.

"Well then let me tell you something that might change your mind."

Derek sighed galaxy had went home and Stiles was napping on his bed. He wanted his baby to have a normal life but what Galaxy had told them meant otherwise. Maybe he could convince Stiles to move away from all this madness after graduation, they could buy a sweet house, with a white fence. Everything could be normal.

But with Derek's luck who knew.
