Stiles stood besides Derek staring at rows after rows of baby supplies. Derek stared wide-eyed not sure what to grab first, this was the first time in a long time he felt uncertain about his options. Stiles grabbed Derek's hands his palms sweaty, Derek didn't seem to mind, he took Stiles's hand without any form of hesitation. Women around them seemed to know exactly what they were doing picking out what they needed.

"Where do you want to start?" Derek looked at Stiles who looked just as nervous as he felt.

"Bottles?" Stiles felt hopeless not knowing what to buy and if the bottle he would pick out would be good enough.

"Do you want to go get your dad or Melissa to help us with this?" Derek felt his nerves getting the best of him.

"No, Derek we are going to be fathers soon we have to start making decision for ourselves and for our son." Stiles spoke with this new found confidence that Derek could easily respect.

"Okay, how many bottles do you think we'll need?" Derek stepped closer to the bottles reading a couple brands and facts about them.

"A lot." Stiles hummed also reading over a couple.

"Captain of the S.S obvious has spoken." Derek mumbled flashing Stiles a small grin.

"Well you asked." Stiles bumped Derek's shoulder softly.

Stiles grabbed a bottle and raised an eyebrow at Derek who nodded, Stiles grabbed two more of the same kind of bottles but different colors. Derek grabbed another brand along with a couple of pacifiers. The boys started grabbing more and more random baby equipment every once looking at one another for reassurance.

"Can I help you guys today?" A worker stepped up to them a polite smile on her face.

"Er yeah actually." Derek winked at Stiles before turning to the women, "We're adopting a new born he's actually coming to us in a month, we were wondering if you could help up pick out some stuff."

"I would love to!" She perked up stepping closer to them excitement in her big blue eyes.

"Thank you so much." Stiles rested one hand on his stomach and another intertwined with Derek's.

"Okay! So you have bottles and pacifiers now you need a lot more stuff but you want to start off small." She hummed, "So towels, blankets, bibs, the bath for the baby, diapers, wipes, baby powder, clothes, diaper bag, crib, change station, and so much more."

"Who knew you needed so much for such a little biscuit." Stiles sighed in amazement.

"Did you just call our baby a biscuit?" Derek looked over at Stiles his eyebrows raised.

"Maybe." Stiles smiled sheepishly at Derek who kissed his hand.

"Do guys need alone time or?" She looked away from them as if she was invading there privacy.

"Er, maybe I think you've narrowed down our first trip." Stiles grinned and she nodded smiling at them.

"Congratulations you two." She hummed walking off.

Stiles and Derek watched her walk off still holding on to one another. Derek turned back and started picking plan colored bibs, blue, green, red, even yellow. Derek absolutely hated the bright color yellow but he knew how much Stiles loved it.

"What color do you think we should do the nursery?" Stiles smiled his big brown eyes twinkling.

"I was thinking a mint green." Derek suggested.

"Really I was thinking yellow." Stiles grinned cause he loved it when Derek's nose crinkled at the suggestion of the color, "I'm kidding."

"We can do it if you want." Derek shrugged.

"No, I actually wanted to paint it sea foam blue." Stiles suggested and Derek smiled.

"Is that the lightish blue color?" Derek hummed and Stiles nodded.

"Bluish grey." Stiles shrugged.

"Okay I'll buy the tub today and then start painting tomorrow " Derek hummed and Stiles kissed Derek's hand.

"I love you." Stiles grinned, "you're going to be an awesome daddy."

"Yeah?" Derek looked at him amusement bright in his eyes.

"Definitely." Stiles perked up giving Derek a thumbs up.

"I think you'll be the better dad." Derek shook his head, "you're much more compassionate."

"Aw, Der you're adorable." Stiles hugged him.

"Shut up." Derek rolled his eyes huffing but still hugging Stiles back.

"So how many trips do you think we'll have to make for all the stuff?" Stiles hummed.

"Maybe three or four." Derek shrugged, "let's just get the little things for now."

"Sounds like a plan, Hale." Stiles agreed.

Stiles and Derek laid in bed at Stiles's house the small pattering of rain drowning out any sounds from anywhere else from the outside. Stiles rested his head on Derek's chest and wrapped his leg around Derek's waist. Derek had his arm around Stiles and his head resting on the top of Stiles's. The blanket was ruffled to the side Stiles had claimed it was too hot for a blanket anyway.

"Babe?" Stiles murmured half asleep.

"Yes?" Derek slurred his eyes shut.

"Can his middle name be Scott?" Stiles pulled Derek closer.

"Of course." Derek yawned.

Stiles smiled and cuddled into the crook of Derek's neck. The warmth from Derek's body was pleasant unlike the heat from the blanket. His room was pitch black the only light coming from his charging laptop that would blink every once in a while.

"Stiles?" Derek opened one eye.

"Yes, Sourwolf?" Stiles muttered.

"Can his first name be Noah?" Derek smiled, "That was my baby brother's name."

"How old was he?" Stiles felt his heart stutter in his chest at the mention of Derek's family it was always a touchy subject.

"Nine." Derek frowned, "He had the brightest green eyes and his jokes were cringe worthy but that's why they were so great."

"We can definitely name him Noah." Stiles nodded.

"Thank you." Derek kissed Stiles's forehead.

"Of course, baby." Stiles placed his hand gently on Derek's face, "I love you."

"I love you too." Derek melted into Stiles's touch.

"Goodnight, Sourwolf." Stiles yawned.

"Goodnight, Stiles." Derek hesitated for a second, "..goodnight, Noah."
