Eclipse (Sterek)

2. Unexpected Morning

I woke up to the flowing stream of sunlight that escaped through the gap between my curtains. I emerged from the covers, Isaac had still been asleep. He looked so peaceful, with his curly blond locks shining in the light. I couldn't explain my maternal ways towards Isaac but I sure didn't mind them because to me he was my pup, my everything — weirdly enough I couldn't figure out why I act like this. God I felt like a certified creep or maybe a certified dumbass seeing as Derek's his alpha and technically paternal figure. I slowly made my way off the bed, making sure Isaac didn't wake up. I pulled the gapped curtains shut and made my way to the bathroom to freshen up. After that I made my way downstairs to make my Isaac and I some breakfast.

I noticed my dad was fast asleep in his recliner as I walked to the kitchen, he no doubt had a long night at work. But I mean what sheriff wouldn't, especially during these times where werewolves and dead bodies seemingly turned up. I heard his breathing hitch then he groaned as he turned in the recliner to make himself more comfortable. Finally in the kitchen I pulled out all the ingredients I'd need to make homemade pancakes, then I got the eggs, bacon, and sausage. Then I pulled out my favorite pan and placed it on the stove. I whisked away with my famous homemade pancake mix. I then chose to make some homemade biscuits, I mean why not it was breakfast after all, then I sat it aside to turn on the stove and preheated the oven.

"Good morning". My dad said as I opened the butter.

"Good morning dad". I said back as I took a good measure of butter, "want anything before you leave?" I asked as I put the butter in the pan making it sizzle.

"Yes please I'm starving". He said as he rubbed his stomach.

"I bet". I laughed as I poured in the pancake mix.

"Uh Stiles". He said making me tense up as I started to put the biscuits in the oven.

"Yeah dad?" I asked my voice modulated.

"I noticed when I came to check on you that you and Lahey were cuddling". He took a quick quiet breath, "is there anything I should know... about you know that?" He asked.

"Dad". I said as I flipped the finely brown pancake over, "it's not what you think".

"Then what is it? Because last time I checked you hated Derek and his pack". He said, "no I'm sorry that's not right, hmm what did you call them again? Oh that's right Were-henchmen". He recalled.

I turned to see a smile on his face, I ignored it to check on the biscuits, they looked nearly done.

"Yeah but not Isaac". I said as I was now taking out the last of the pancakes, "I don't know why but with Isaac I feel more like his mother. And I know it's weird but I feel as if he was my own pup you know?" I asked looking at him.

He raised his eyebrows and sighed, "unfortunately I do". I eyed him apprehensively before checking on the biscuits again.

"You do?" I asked a wave of shock coursing through me as I started to whisk the eggs together.

"Yes. I mean you treat me the same way everyday". He said, "like you make me eat healthy, make me wear coats when you think it's cold, and even when it's not cold you still make me, and then I get sick and you baby me till I'm all better then sternly remind me I need to be eating healthy". He finished.

"That's my job". I smiled as I tossed the almost finished eggs around the pan.

"But I'm supposed to be the parent". He said as he got up putting on an oven mitten and withdrawing the nicely done golden brown biscuits for me.

"Thanks dad". I said as he placed it carefully in the uncluttered spot on the counter.

"Yet instead your my mother and I'm just a babied old man". He continued as he took his seat again.
