Should I make another Sterek Mpreg story after this one?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Derek listened as Stiles spoke about telling Scott and how he felt he ruined their friendship. Of course Derek reassured him he hadn't but that wasn't good enough for Stiles who started sulking. Derek decided he'd take matters into his own hands and go talk to Scott without Stiles knowing. So when he left Stiles for his fourth nap of the day he headed towards Scott's house.

His Camero was warm from the heater, Derek slipped off his leather coat still driving. His shirt hugged his muscles and his hair was intentionally messy. He parked in Scott's drive way besides Scott's mother's car and Scott's bike. He exited the car without his jacket and went to the front door. He knocked listening for anyone inside. He could hear footsteps coming his way.

"Derek?" Melissa answered the door her eyebrows raised.

"Is Scott home?" Derek leaned against the doorway a cool breeze hitting his skin.

"Come inside it's cold." She pulled him in and shut the door behind him, "he's in his room."

"Thanks." Derek nodded and went up the stairs.

The house was silent besides Melissa watching TV. Derek knocked on Scott's door not getting an answer, he sighed and knocked again. His patience running out he opened the door, Scott sat on his bed with headphones in his ears and homework on his lap. Derek rolled his eyes knowing well enough that Scott could hear him perfectly fine over the music.

"You can act all you want but I out of all of us know that you can hear me clearly." Derek scowled and shut Scott's door.

Scott took out his buds and glared at Derek annoyed, "what do you want?"

"To talk." Derek sat on Scott's corner chair.

"Fine, talk." Scott muttered looking back at his homework.

"Stiles is upset." Derek crossed his arms over his chest.

"Sorry to hear that." Scott bit his pencil.

"Scott, he can't be stressed throughout this pregnancy... He needs his best friend." Derek stood back up not liking the lack of care Scott showed.

"Now I'm his best friend? If I was his best friend I would've been first to know about the baby, about you guys dating." Scott scoffed.

"And that's my fault." Derek grunted getting an eyebrow raise from Scott.

"What?"

"I told Stiles if we could keep our relationship between just us two because every time I find someone that makes me happy and tell anybody about them something bad happens." Derek shook his head, "I didn't want anything to happen to Stiles."

"Oh." Was all Scott could think to say.

"Stiles needs as much support as he can get, and you being mad at him won't help anyone." Derek seemed desperate for Scott to forgive Stiles and him.

"Okay." Scott shut his textbook.

"You'll talk to him?" Derek questioned.

"Yeah, don't worry." Scott slipped out of bed.

"Thank you." Derek sighed in relief.

"Yeah no problemo." Scott put on his shoes and slipped on his coat.

"Do you want me to drive you there or?" Derek seemed more then willing to help.

"No it's fine." Scott smiled at Derek who nodded, "Derek, get some rest you look like shit."

"What? I'm fine." Derek glared at Scott who shook his head.

"No you're not, you have purple bags under your eyes I know you're worried about Stiles but you need to take care of yourself too." Scott patted Derek's shoulder and they both walked out the room and downstairs.

Derek waved goodbye at Melissa who smiled at him, "Be careful boys."

"See you later, mom." Scott called out walking out the front door with Derek.

Derek walked to his Camero before Scott stopped him one more time, "Seriously Derek get some sleep."

Derek nodded knowing that's exactly what he wouldn't be doing. He got into his car the same time Scott got on his bike. He started it up and drove out the drive way without a look back.

Derek read his book on fairies his loft completely silent. He bit his lip turning the page. What Galaxy had told them made Derek's insides churn he had no idea how to process the information. He sighed shutting his book and resting his head on his wooden table. He felt his body relax and his eyes fluttered shut a sigh escaping his lips. He hadn't slept for seventeen hours now and he could feel the exhaustion inside of him.

His phone chirped making his eyes open and his entire body tense up once again. He sat up and rubbed at his droopy eyes. He yawned and dug through his pocket for his phone. It was a text from Kira. Derek raised his eyebrow she barely ever texted him.

Kira: Scott told me to remind you about the pack meeting tonight, its in ten minutes.

Derek groaned and stood up his knees wobbled below him he steadied himself and squinted at his bright phone screen.

Derek: I'm on my way now.

Derek locked his phone and went to grab his coat. His steps became wobbly and his body swayed as if he was drunk. Derek used the best of his abilities to stay up right but he fell. He groaned and tried to get up but felt too weak. He rolled to his back his arm throbbing in pain. He didn't have the energy to get back up but he also didn't want to worry Stiles. He pushed but couldn't get up.

He sighed embracing the fact that he wasn't strong enough to stand so he shut his eyes. The floor was uncomfortable but it would have to do. Derek let out a heavy breath before falling asleep. His mind completely blank.
