Crystal Banks ~Finished~ *Under HEAVY editing*

Chapter 16

  It was a week after Crystal/Emma, Kol and Taylor/Alexa had returned to Beacon Hills and everything was going smoothly. Crystal started to go by Crystal or Emma, she didn't really care. As for Taylor everyone was now used to calling her Alexa. And Derek also ended up breaking up with Amy so she was out of the picture now.

  Now everyone has going to the mirror room to see Crystal's and Troy's performance. He was telling the truth when he said he was going to take her out of her comfort zone but she was able too do a few moves of her own. She did like the routine. She just wasn't sure she could pull off the routine.

   Crystal paced as Troy watched in amusement. "What if I mess up," she asked stopping and looking a him. "Stop all your worrying love, you'll do fine. And if you fall I'll be here to catch you. Or just watch you fall on your ass," Troy said with a laugh. "Whatever. I can do this. I can do this because I'm awesome," she said smiling to herself. The pack walked in and all sat down on the floor. Derek stood by the door not really wanting to go there but the pack made him. "Wow Crys for a small dance you sure do look hot," Isaac joked making Derek growl lowly. Crystal and the rest of the girls laughed at him, "thanks Isaac." Scott, Allison, Lydia, Taylor, and Stiles took out their phone so they could record it. "Let's get this over with," Crystal said looking at Troy.

    The pack cheered loudly when Troy and Crystal finished. It surprised Derek to see her move like that. He seen her dance before but not like that. Taylor hugged Crystal, "you were amazing." She smiled and hugged her best friend and it was then and there Derek knew he had to get him mate back.

Later that day

  Crystal was on the couch playing with Dylan when Derek came into the room and sat across from her. "See mommy I got dis wed one and dis bwue one too," Dylan said picking up his cars. Crystal smiled down at her son not noticing that Derek was there, "so which one do I get?" "The wed one silly," Dylan said laughing at her. "Hey, mind if I play Dylan," Derek asks looking down at his son. Crystal just froze in place not wanting Dylan to say yes. "Otay Derwek you tan be gween." Derek sat on the floor and sat Dylan on his lap. The first way of getting Crystal back was getting his son back and he wanted that too. "Dylan I'm sorry for being mean to you. I was just going through a rough time because mommy left. Can I please be your dad again?" Dylan smiled at Derek before wrapping his small arms around him, "mommy won't go away anymore, wite mommy?" Dylan looked at his mom for an answer she smiled and took Dylan from Derek, "of course I won't. I only did it to keep the people I love safe but some didn't seem to see it that way." She said avoiding Derek's eyes and looking at Dylan.

      Derek grabbed her hand as a sign tell her it was ok to look at him. Derek starred into her beautiful gold and silver eyes, falling in love with her over again. "Daddy do you wove mommy?" Dylan asked smiling at his parents. "Yeah, I love mommy," Derek answered looking Crystal in the eye. "Mommy, do you wove daddy." "Yes I love daddy," her voice cracked at the last word. Derek grabbed Crystal and pulled he into a hug. She wrapped her arms around him instinctively. His innerwolf howled in happiness as he kissed her head.

    Taylor walked in the living room to see Derek hugging his mate and his son. She quickly took a picture before saying,"Aww you guys are so cute." "Alexa can you get the pack out of the house for the day," Derek said pulling his mate closer. Taylor smiled, "of course I will. I wanted to go to the movies and mall anyways."  

      After Taylor and everyone left. Derek and Crystal were alone. "Look Crystal I'm sorry for treating you the way I did. I love you and I can't stand not being without you." Derek got down on one knee and Crystal gasped. "I'm not asking you to marry me yet. I just want you to know that I'm ready for a serious commitment." Derek said pulling out a promise ring, and putting it on her left index finger. He had on one that matched with hers but his was of course for men. She smiled at him with tears in her eyes as he stood up. She wrapped her arms around him, "yes I forgive you Derek. I love you too." He pushed his lips onto hers, Crystal wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer. Derek pushed her into the wall lifting her up. They both pulled away to catch their breath, Derek rested his head on hers. "I missed your lips so much. Maybe we should go up stairs," Derek said kissing her again. She giggled and nodded her head.

6 hours later

     Crystal had her head rested on Derek's chest as Derek played with her hair. "I love you," she mumbled in his chest. Derek laughed at how cute her voice was when she mumbled something, "I love you too babe." They both laughed at each other. "Derek, when you said you're not gonna ask to marry me yet. Were you serious? I mean you want to marry me right?" Crystal asked looking up at him. "Crystal of course I want to marry you. I just don't think we're ready for a huge commitment yet," Derek said holding her hand. She nodded in agreement, "would about kids? Have you ever thought about having kids?" "Yes I want kids. Considering that we already have one I never thought about how many but I definitely want more kids with you."

   She blushed at his words and Derek started to kiss her neck. "I wouldn't Derek you'll get to excited and turn," she said with a light moan. Derek ignored her and kept kissing her neck. She felt his canines scrape against her neck, "you turned didn't you?" He tucked his head in her neck, "I don't know what your talking about." She giggled again when he bit down on her neck lightly.  "Oops," Derek whispered to himself but Crystal heard him. "Oops what? Derek did you bruise my neck?" "Maybe. But you left scratch marks on my back. It's fair."

   Then they heard cars pull up it the huge driveway outside. "Get dressed," Crystal said quickly. She pushed Derek off of her and slipped on some clothes. She looked in the mirror to see bruises on her neck and collarbone, "really Derek." She turned around to see Derek's back and all the scratch marks she left on him. He turned to her and she saw the other scratch and bite marks on him. She put her hand over her mouth trying to block her giggles. "Yes, you did this," he pouted while putting on his t-shirt and sweat pants. She pulled on one of his hoodies and kissed his cheek before they left their room together.

   They came down the stairs as soon as the front door opened. They quickly sat on the couch and started making out. "Ok. looks like you two made up," Lydia said while the rest gagged. Then Kol noticed that Crystal was scratching her wrist. "Um Diamond can I talk to you for a second?" She nodded and followed him into the kitchen.

   The pack or Derek didn't know that Crystal used to cut herself. She started cutting herself when she was 13 and she's been trying stop. She was doing really good by not cutting herself for almost a year but it was like she was addicted to it. The main reason why she did was because she blamed herself about her parents.

    "Yeah Kol. What is it?" She asked still itching her wrist. "You're starting to scratch your wrist. You always scratch your wrist when you want to cut." He s whispered looking at her wrist. "I'm fine," she whispered back. He grabbed her wrist and studied it. Crystal quick snatched her arm from him. "Kol, I'm fine. I've been doing good for almost a year now. Just please don't bring it up again." She said giving him a small smile. "I can't lose you again Diamond," he whispered to her pulling her into a hug. "You won't. I promise. I love you Kol." She whispered into his shirt. He kissed the top of her head, "I love you too."
