Things We Never Expected: Alpha's Mate (Sterek)

Chapter 15 Surprise!

Derek POV

    It took almost a week to get everyone settled and comfortable in the house. We went shopping all day. When we got home it was almost midnight. Everyone crawled up the stairs and into bed. All the bedroom furniture arrived the next afternoon. Stiles and Lydia took charge and overlooked everything.

    Stiles and Lydia decorated all the neutral and empty rooms. The house turned out beautiful. Then Lydia demand that we fill the pool she had built in the backyard. It took a couple of hours but eventually John, Chris, and I got it going. As soon as we finished everyone was in the pool. Things were looking bright for our pack.

    That was about three weeks ago. Nothing has changed. Everyone spends most of the day in the pool. The house finally smells like pack.

    Stiles has been hiding in the office for a couple of hours. I go check on him. The office door is locked. I knock on the door, "Stiles" I call out.

After a moment he opens the door with Lula at his feet.

    "Derek, we need to talk." I sit and nod for him to continue. He shuts the door so no one can eavesdrop. (The office is sound proof when the door is shut and locked.) "I went see Deaton yesterday."

    I know what this means. He's stared to get symptoms. Before I can say anything, Stiles bolts from the room. When I go after him I find him on his knees in the bathroom. I kneel down next to him and rub his back. He vomits for a couple time before he leans on me and falls asleep. From the door Lula says, "He's pregnant."

Stiles POV

    I wake up on the bed in our (Derek and Stiles) room. Lula is asleep at the foot of the bed and Derek is nowhere to be found. I let my ears listen for his heartbeat. He's in the kitchen.

    "Derek? Can you come up here?" I ask him in his mind.

    "Stiles, you're awake. I'll be there in a minute." He replies. A minute later he walks into the bedroom. "Hey, how are you feeling?" He sits on the bed next to me and cups my face.

    "What happened?" I asked him. The last thing I remember was Derek coming into the office.

    "You threw up a lot then you passed out. Lula told me you're pregnant. How long have you know?"

    I look at my feet. "I figured it out a few days ago. I was waiting till after the full moon to tell you." I say quietly not looking him in the eyes.

    He cups my face and makes me look at him. "I'm not upset. I just wished you told me as soon as you knew." He kisses me then. It was full of lust and love, and in that moment I couldn't be happier that I was his. When we broke apart he kissed my forehead and rest his head on it. "Deaton's here. I called him while you were asleep. I want him to make sure you and my child are healthy." I nod and move to get up. Derek put his arm around my waist as we walked to the living room. Lula walked by my feet.

    "Hello, Stiles," Deaton greeted me. "Derek has told me that you are with child. If you could lay down on the couch, we can take a look. Melissa finish setting up the ultrasound and nodded at Deaton. I lay down belly up and take off my shirt. I hand it to Derek as Melissa rubs an ice cold gel on my belly.

    Melissa started to roll the wand around. She stopped it in the middle. There was three giant egg in my belly. Deaton points at it, then explains. "Human females carry a child for nine months or 36 weeks. Female wolves carry a child for sox months or 24 weeks. Inegerlds, you, carry a child for three months or 12 weeks. In this picture you see three eggs. Stiles, Derek you're having triplets, congratulations!" Deaton finishes with a smile.
