5 years. I haven't been back Beacon Hills in 5 years which feels like a lifetime. I've grown, I'm not the same cruel, sarcastic 16 year old boy with ADHD that ran with werewolves, foxes, banshees, and werecoyotes. But one thing that hasn't changed i...
"No Malia I'm not going to run away for another 5 years, we're going to leave this town with our girls and hopefully you'll agree to being apart of my life, you know the one with paparazzi, crazy but loveable fans, traveling for movies, press tours and photo shoots. You know what fuck it." I turn around toward the stairs, "Channing and Claudia please come down here and bring Princess!"
The girls come rushing down the stairs excitedly with Chan handing me a velvet box. I wink at them before turning back toward Malia who looks confused and I drop to one knee.
"Malia Hale Tate, wow there's so much I want to say and I don't know where to begin. Eichen House. I think that's where I first fell in love with you. I mean what other girl just comes up to you and punches your lights out? I was in such a dark place during my stint at Eichen and you were just like this bright light. I had to be with you because I was in the dark alone and afraid and I needed someone to save me. I didn't think you'd still want to be with me once we got out of Eichen because who would want a depressed skinny teen that was literally possessed? But anyways when I left I wanted to take you with me so bad. You have no idea how much it hurt me to leave you behind, but I knew I had to find myself by myself. I knew I had to get better for you, and be the man that you deserved. After Chan and Claud came along I knew you'd accept them as your own, I knew you'd see them as your pups and the fact that you actually did made me fall in love with all over again. I wish dad didn't have to get shot to make me come back but I was a coward when it came to facing you. Anyways, what I'm saying is you deserve the world and I will fight everyday to make sure you live each day to fullest. You're already an amazing mother and girlfriend so I know you'll be the best fiancee then wife. I want to have forever with you and I want someday to become soon. So Malia Tate will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" I open the box making everyone in the room gasp.

"Holy fuck," I hear Lydia whisper from her spot in the crowd of the pack watching us from the side.
"YES! Of course you already knew the answer you douche," she laughs nodding with tears running down her red face. I slide the ring onto her finger and get up off my knee and I grab her face then pull her into a kiss with both of our faces wet. She puts her hand on my forearm and I feel the cool metal of her ring, a feeling I could get used to.
"Yay!" The twins come barreling into our legs forcing us to separate with one last peck. Malia and I both bend down and pick up a girl, both of them start chattering on about being flower girls and a new mommy.
We get congratulations from everyone with Lydia telling us she was planning the wedding and Peter making a comment about asking the father for his blessing leading me to tell him I already took Mr. Tate out to a Mets game, hell I even managed to get him to throw the first pitch.
"Okay seriously guys we do in fact have to go back to LA. I have to start training for this movie, Deepwater Horizon, with Mark Wahlberg..... and that information isn't confirmed so I didn't just tell you that." I address the pack with my arm around Malia's shoulders while the other one scratched the back of my neck nervously at my slip up.
"Mark Wahlberg?! You're doing a movie with Mark fuc-freaking Wahlberg??!" Scott yells changing his word at the sharp glare Mama McCall gave him.
"No! But hypothetically yes."
I've worked with a lot of the greats in my short but successful career so I'm not really that freaked about working with Mark, especially since I'm friends with his whole family plus I learned early on after having a panic attack about working with Leonardo DiCaprio that the key is to remain calm and professional on the outside or they'll never let you live it down. Leo mimics my spaz session every time we see each other.
