It Takes Three To Tango (TW&TVD FanFic)

The Taken

Tentatively making her way over to stand next to her mom's bed Caroline's eyes were possibly going to budge out of her head.

"Sweetheart is there something you need to tell us? If Derek is pressuring you -" Caroline jumped back appalled by her mother's accusation.

"Whoa! Mom, no you got it all wrong. I swear there hasn't been any pressuring going on. None,  what's so ever.  It's just wow, huh, how do I explain? I mean, I still am not on full understanding mode, but, no wait that's not right. I do understand and I'll just say it. We are mates. All of us." Giving a huge smile she didn't even believe at first made her mom a bit concerned. By the end the real smile on her daughters face melted her heart.

"Okay, honey. There is no way for me to tell you how I am feeling right now because even I don't know that. But something tells me you haven't been this happy in a long time and I am happy for you." Reaching over, Liz took her daughters hand and squeezed. Smiling at each other they both looked over to sheriff Stilinski. 

Sheriff Stilinski wasn't sure where to start with his concerns and questions regarding his son.  He just knew this was the time to and the person to discuss it with.   "Caroline, I know you may not want to answer any of my questions or talk to me about anything..." He started.

"Sheriff, I will answer truthfully."  Caroline gave her famous smile.

"I appreciate that, very much.  So, is Stiles involved with you also?"   Giving a strange look to Care, then looking down.

"Yes Sir."

"Now, do they both know you are involved with each of them?"  He couldn't believe he had to have this conversation with the girl he could clearly see his son falling for.

"Stiles knows about Derek, Derek knows about Stiles."

"Are they involved?"  The words fell out of his mouth, and he couldn't believe he was about to find out the truth of a question that haunted him.

"When I said 'We are mates, All of us.' I really meant just that, sir."  Caroline could see the concerned look across his face.  "It's not as bad as it sounds.  We are in this together, no forcing or jealousy." 

As soon as his fear was confirmed, he walked forcefully to the door.   Taking a step outside, he went straight to Derek.  Caroline ran for the door. 

"DEREK HALE! YOU SEE THIS?"  He put his right hand on his gun, and didn't blink.

"Uh, yes sir.  I see it, and I know you know how to use it."   Derek knew the truth would come out, but he still wasn't prepared.

Stiles couldn't move. His brain was going haywire, but that didn't stop him from freezing, staring at his father like he was about to die.

"Uh - wha - DAD?" Taking some pleasure, the Sheriff laid his hand on his son's shoulder resulting in Stiles coming out of his mind. Stiles opened his mouth to say something, anything, but his father shushed him.

"Now, son you really think I didn't know about how you felt, well about more than liking girls? Let me just say I love you and have no problem with it. Just remember you can come to me for anything and no more lies you hear me? Now that I somewhat know about things if you so much as lie to me about one thing...well you don't need me to go on. I love you and be safe. Shit, looks like I have to head back to work. I'll see you at home" bringing his son towards himself, the Sheriff hugged him. He wasn't expecting Stiles to grip him tight and not let go for a while. Swallowing, he tapped Stiles back a few times before he left.

Caroline made her way out the door as her mom was getting ready. Walking towards her boys she noticed Stiles eyes were wet and Derek had cupped the back of his head. Without needing to think she gathered him in her arms and kissed his temple. No one needed to say anything, they could all feel it.
