Eclipse (Sterek)

12. Invitation

𖨠Derek's P.O.V𖨠

I paced impatiently around the newly renovated house as I waited nervously for intel from Jackson and Boyd. The house was quiet then usual and the pack and I hadn't really talk or interact with each other for months. It was like they'd all sided with Stiles and decided that I was the bad guy, which I wasn't. I stopped pacing to focus my ears to listen for a single crack of fallen twigs to note that Boyd and Jackson were back with long awaited news. But I heard nothing and returned to my pace. My heart raced as my mind filled with the thoughts of Stiles. I really loved him and was hurting that I couldn't see him. He was very pissed at me I just knew it. I mean why else would he be avoiding me for these past few months? My inner wolf howled in pain and anger as I continued to think of my wonderful mate, who I was sure hated me. But though he hated me and wanted to stay away from me I couldn't help but feel sad and hurt when I heard word of mouth that Stiles had been taken from school to stay at home because he was sick. I took no time to rush to Boyd and Jackson and demand that they go and see what has ailed my precious love.
Moments later I heard the snapping of twigs and I sped for the door without hesitation. As I swung it open Jackson and Boyd were trailing up the front steps.

"Is he okay?" I asked not letting them at least catch there breath.

"Yes he's okay". Jackson answered glaring at me.

"He's okay?" I asked skeptically raising an eyebrow.

"Yes Derek he's okay". Boyd assured me with a smile.

"That's good". I smiled. "very good". I breathed.

My betas looked at me then turned to each other and shrugged they were beginning to act odd and I didn't like it.

"What's with you two?" I asked.
"Nothing it's just we gotta get going". Jackson answered.

"You guys don't want to stay?" I asked. "I mean I don't mind at all".

"Of course we do it's just we kind of was invited to hang out with Stiles". Boyd said nervously avoiding eye contact.

"Oh". I breathed feeling my heart fall. "Well tell Stiles I said hi and you guys be safe". I told them hanging my head as I turned to go back in the house.

God why didn't I just suck up my fear and tell Stiles how I really felt about him. Why did I let it come to this? Why couldn't I accept that I was changing for the better? It wasn't like Stiles was making me worse he was actually bring back the old Derek the Derek that loved and showed it, isn't of bottling it up and expressing anger and aggression. I flopped on my bed feeling excruciating pain in my heart as tears slowly fell down my cheeks. Peter was right I should've just talked to Stiles and be there for him through whatever it was he was keeping from me.

~•~Stiles P.O.V~•~

My first week at five months was now beginning and I soon became frightened as to how the hell I got big so fast it was just yesterday I was constantly nauseous and finding my favorite foods repulsive and all the foods I hated delicious. Kol hadn't left my side ever since he came back I asked why he was so attached and he simply said, "I'm just drawn to you Stiles, I can't explain why". Which made me feel bad as I felt deep down that Davina wanted some time with him.

Peter on the other hand had become quite territorial with me, he wouldn't allow the others around us when it was just me and him. He said he was too excited there was about to be another Hale to the pack. I was going to protest as the baby would likely be given my last name and not Derek's, but I didn't I just allowed him to prattle on with his excitement.

Boyd and Jackson had been coming over more often ever since they barged into my room. I was happy the pack was here but it didn't feel complete without sourwolf. Lydia and Kol had begun to tag team me telling me to tell Derek but I held my ground, with co-signing of Peter, Isaac and Scott, that Derek no longer needed to know. I know I was being stubborn but I just felt like he wouldn't be accepting of our unborn child.
