Derek woke to an empty bed and the sound of heaving in another room. He wiped at his tired eyes and slipped out of Stiles's bed. Derek noted that the room was barely glowing from the morning sun which was odd seeing how Stiles room was usually the brightest one in the house. Derek decided that it was nothing and made his way towards the heaving sound.

The hallway was almost pitch black causing Derek to use his alpha eyes to look around without difficulty. The sound was coming from the bathroom which was expected. Derek knocked on the door softly waiting a moment to hear a reply.

"Sti?" Derek spoke gently, "you okay in there?"

The door creaked open and Derek felt his heart skip a beat sensing something was wrong. He pushed the door some more only to reveal more darkness. He went to flick on the light only it wasn't working. Derek looked around his eyes finally making their way to the floor.

There laid Stiles blood oozing out of his mouth, ears, and eyes. Derek gasped and rushed to Stiles's side. When Derek grew closer he noticed Stiles's stomach was flat. Derek felt his heart rate pick up and he scooped Stiles in his arms.

"Stiles?" His voice cracked, "baby, please don't."

The silence in the house made Derek feel even more alone then before, "you're all I have left."

Derek felt tears slide onto his cheeks and he held Stiles tighter, "I love you."

Derek sat for what felt like ages until he saw a crack on the bathroom floor that wasn't there before. It started to break open and Derek felt his eyes grow wide as he scrambled to stand up. The house started to crumble beneath him, the floors breaking apart with loud creaks and ear splitting groans.

Stiles looked over at Derek who was mumbling in his sleep about survival. Stiles smiled with an eyebrow raised, he wrapped his arms around his body and made his way back onto the bed. After his fourth bathroom break he had decided the watch a movie, but he had grown tired soon after and decided to try sleeping again.

Stiles shut his light off and slipped under the covers of his bed. Derek stirred in his sleep his eyebrows etched together. His mumbling sped up sounding almost like panicked murmurs. Stiles sighed and turned so that he was facing Derek. He gently cupped Derek's cheek the scruff underneath feeling as scratchy as usual.

"I love you, sourwolf." Stiles hummed before letting his hand drop and cuddling closer to Derek's chest.

The mumbling stopped making the room grow completely silent. Derek's eyes fluttered open and he looked down to see Stiles's head hidden by the covers by his chest. Derek felt his lip twitch upward before relief flooded his veins. He adjusted himself so that both him and Stiles were comfortable.

"I love you too, Sti."

The sun pooled into Stiles's bedroom and he groaned turning to his side reaching out for Derek. He clawed at Derek's spot only to snatch up blanket. He opened his eyes and frowned, Derek was no where in sight. He didn't want to get up, but he also didn't want to sleep alone so he slipped out of bed and instantly started searching for Derek around t he house. He reached the kitchen and spotted Derek sitting down drinking coffee. Stiles felt a smile reach his face and he wrapped his arms around Derek's shoulders with a content sigh.

"Our appointment is in an hour." Derek hummed taking a sip of his drink.

"I'll go get ready." Stiles kissed Derek's head and moved away.

Derek nodded content with himself. Stiles smiled and climbed up the stairs back up to his bedroom. Stiles slipped on an outfit and flopped back onto his bed his back achy. Derek knocked on Stiles's door frame gaining the man's attention. Stiles sat up and Derek strolled across the room and sat beside Stiles with a soft, gentle smile on his face.

"Are you okay?" Derek rested his hand on Stiles's knee.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Stiles nodded, "I'm ready for our appointment."

"Alright, then let's go."

Stiles sat on the metal table kicking his legs while he patiently waited for Deaton to grab the gel. Derek stood in front of him his foot tapping against the tile floors. Deaton stepped back into the room and hummed as he rubbed the jelly on Stiles's now round stomach. He used the wand and started to move it around searching on the screen for Noah. Stiles kept his breathing regular while Deaton continued to search.

"Is he okay?" Derek questioned.

"Everything...is okay." Deaton hummed.

Stiles felt his shoulder sag and he breathed out a sigh of relief. Derek grabbed Stiles's hand and kissed it. Deaton handed Stiles a warm towel and started to unplug everything. Derek helped Deaton put everything away, Stiles stood back up and threw out the napkin and lowered his shirt.

Once they were done Derek and Stiles walked out of the office. Derek opened the passenger door for Stiles and waited for him to take his seat before he shut the door. Derek then went to his side of the car and entered.

"Are you sure you want to go to this meeting?" Derek sighed and Stiles scoffed at him.

"Of course I do, Der." Stiles grinned.

"I mean-" Derek started.

"Derek, you'll be okay and so will I." Stiles took his hand.

"I can't promise that." Derek huffed.

"You won't have to."
