"Derek! Where's the diapers?!" Stiles practically screamed as one hand held up Eric's two tiny legs and the other held his nose.
"Where they usually are!" Derek yelled back as he adjusted his blazer. Stiles rolled his eyes looking in the place where they usually were. Stiles cursed and then heard Derek laughing, which only made him curse once more.
After Stiles changed Eric, he picked up the baby who had began smiling and now wouldn't stop. When Derek got to the bottom of the steps, Stiles passed him the baby, which he gratefully accepted, planting kisses all over the smiley boy's face. Eric gurgled and giggled as Derek also smiled back.
"You shaved." Stiles pouted as he finally noticed his smartly dressed husband.
"Yeah, I've got an interview, I may also be late for that, so I've got to go. If El gets here before I'm back tell her where I am, okay?" Derek rushed, picking up his bag and sliding it over his arm before attempting to leave.
"Uh Derek, forgetting something?" Stiles laughed, about to reach for the child but Derek didn't hand him over, he only leaned in, rolling his eyes before kissing his husband on the cheek.
"Bye Stiles-ypoo, love you." Derek grinned before walking back towards the door.
"No, Derek, the baby!" Derek turned back slowly, pointing his finger at Stiles while he looked at Eric.
"Ah, yeah, sorry, I did everything with El with me, it must have brought that back up." Derek laughed nervously, Stiles took Eric, who still smiled before grabbing Derek's arm.
"Stiles, I'm gonna be late..." Derek whined anxiously, Stiles just pulled him into a kiss before smacking his bum as he walked away.
"Love you too sourwolf! Now go get that job!" Stiles encouraged, Eric bounced in his arms before letting out an excited scream. This made Derek laugh before he said goodbye.
"So what do you wanna do?" Stiles questioned the small baby who just looked at his dad strangly.
"Watching a really scary series that dad will yell at me for it is!" Stiles grinned, grabbing himself some crisps and a drink before sitting on the couch with Eric, laying on his chest. Stiles ran his finger over Eric's tiny hand, he had the remote in his other hand as he flicked on some supernatural tv series he was watching.

"Dad!" Stiles jumped away, if Eric had been on his chest, he would have fallen off. Stiles opened his eyes and smiled at Elara, holding Eric in her arms. Adam was behind her, grinning down at the father.
"Hey honey." Stiles pulled himself up to hug her and Adam.
"Where's Dad?" She asked, looking around for evidence that Derek was even around.
"He's gone for an interview for a job." Stiles explained, taking Eric from Elara who nodded sitting down, with Adam close beside her.
"Aren't you going back to Sheriff?" Elara asked, Stiles had taken paternity leave, despite Derek not having a job. Stiles had been saving money his whole life, so he had enough for a year off. The Sheriff status went straight to Parrish who was glad to give him a job back, when he returned.
"Yeah but I wanted a while off with my little boy. Derek is looking for a job now so when I go back, he can take time off till Eric can go to daycare." Stiles explained, letting Eric sit on his lap as he bobbed his knee a little making Eric giggle. Elara had seen Eric in her first break, which was a couple of months ago. He was now around 5 months now, and smiling was what he did best. He knew both Derek and Stiles' voice well.
