Covet // Sterek

26 // Happy Birthday!

Stiles smiled at Cora and her 3 month old daughter Talya.

"Can I hold?" Stiles questioned, she nodded passing the baby to Stiles, who grinned at the little girl. Derek came out of the kitchen passing a bowl of crisps to his younger sister.

"Hezekiah! Don't run in the kitchen!" Cora yelled, seeing her five year old sprinting through Derek's house.

"Mum!" He whined, walking up to her as she tapped his hand. He pouted and Derek scooped him up, sitting him on the island, by his mother.

"So Derek, are you thinking of anymore kids?" Cora asked, popping a crisp into her mouth, while her eyebrows wiggled.

"I don't know, Elara's off to college next year so maybe, I've said to Stiles we could adopt or something, we've looked into surrogacy, but we don't really think it'd be idea for a stranger to carry our child, you know with the werewolf gene and everything." Derek explained as he watched Stiles with Talya, she was giggling as he made faces at her.

"What about me?" Cora suddenly popped up, both Stiles and Derek looked over to her.

"You'd really do that for us?" Stiles asked, getting up from his space on the sofa and passing Talya back to Cora. She started bouncing her lightly, the baby slowly dropping off.

"Yes of course. Then they'd technically have both your genes." Cora smiled.

"Wow, thanks Cora! That'd be great, we'll look into it and then we'll sort something out." Derek began pulling his little sister into a tight hug. Stiles was beaming, he really wanted kids and now he'd have one of his own.

"Honestly, that means so much to us Cora." He said, pulling her into his own hug once Derek had let her. Derek took Talya, holding her tightly against him as Hez dragged Stiles off to play a game with him.

Elara came through the door at 3:15, with Adam.

"Happy birthday!" Cora cheered grabbing her niece tightly in her arms. Elara smiled, hugging her auntie back just as tight.

"When did you get here?" Elara asked, taking a seat on the breakfast bar, Adam sitting on the left of her.

"Earlier. I'm not gonna miss my favourite niece's birthday am I? Eighteen huh?" Cora smiled, getting up to grab something to drink.

"Thank you." Elara smiled.

"Hez! Come say happy birthday to El!" Cora yelled, Stiles and Hezekiah ran into the room, Hez jumped at her legs.

"Happy Biwthday La-La!" He yelled, Elara smiled lifting him up into a hug.

"Why thank you Hez." Elara kissed his face, gently. He giggled and she put him down, he ran off into the other room. Cora groaned, scolding him for running once more.

"We've got a gift for you in the car." Cora told Elara, who nodded and muttered a thank you before Cora left to go and fetch it.

"Hey Talya." Elara whispered, taking the small baby from her father and holding it in her folded arms. The baby smiled up at her cousin, making Elara smile back.

"Adam, can I have a word?" Stiles asked, Adam nodded getting up and following Stiles into another room.

"What's up Sheriff?" Adam asked, already guessing about the topic of this conversation.

"I know that you're both of legal age now, but I was wondering if you could hold it off for a little longer. As you know she's still struggling with control. Derek said that her blood pressure can't be raised, so I need you to hold off." Stiles began, Adam nodded his head. He could do that, right?
