Life of A Pregnant Banshee

Chapter 9

Gun shots rip through the lake house and I hear screams, my vision is blurry and I feel a huge pain in my shoulder. 

"Lydia! Lydia!" I hear screams as I fall into unconsciousness...

Stiles POV

"Scott. Are you okay?" I say seeing my best friend lie next to me. 

"Yeah, You?" He says looking around. Theo is leaning over someone. My next thought is Lydia. 

"Scott! Its your mom! Call an ambulance!" Scott rushes to Theo's side. I see my dad call for backup and an ambulance. My eyes scan the room. Theo is trying to stop Melissa bleeding, Malia is next to Scott, Corey and Liam are trying to help Mason who has been shot as well, Derek and Brett have run outside to see whats happening. And then my eyes fall on Lydia.

"Lydia! Lydia!" I run to her and see blood seeping from her shoulder. Before I break down at the sight I pull myself together and apply pressure to her shoulder. "Somebody help me!! Lydia open your eyes please!" Paramedics run into the room and survey who needs help. One kneels beside me. 

"What's her name?"  He asks taking over from me. 

"Lydia Martin, please help her, she's pregnant a little over 3 months. Please they are all I have I cant lose them" I beg. My dad puts his hand on my shoulder. 

"Stiles come on...let them do their job" He says pulling me up. I focus my hearing and I can hear both of their heartbeats I sigh as I stand up.

The Next Day

Lydia POV

My eyes flutter open as I hear two heartbeat monitors. I look around the room and see Stiles laying on the chair next to me. 

"Stiles?" I say moving my hand to grasp his noticing the engagement ring still there. He stirs and his eyes open. 

"Lydia!" I flinch at the volume of his voice "I'm so sorry. I'm so happy that you are okay" His smile is as wide as when I told him I was pregnant... 

"Stiles! The Baby?" I say worrying 

"Is absolutely fine" he says. I breathe a sigh of relief.

"What happened?" I say

"Lydia get some rest please" He says. 

"No Stiles tell me!" I say with pleading eyes. 

"There is an army of hunters, targeting all supernatural creatures, innocent or not. They want all of us dead" He says.

"How long have you known?" I say a tear escaping my eye. 

"2 weeks" He answers "I didn't want to worry you Lyds I'm so sorry" 

"You should have told me Stiles, we're getting married for gods sake we are going to be parents. We tell each other everything! But yet again you think you can keep stuff from me! I'm not a rag doll Stiles! And I don't want to marry you if you are going to treat me like a fragile little girl I thought I could trust you!" I say he flinches as though I have hit him. 

"I'm sorry, I was trying to protect you, get some rest please, I'll get a nurse" He says standing up and heading for the door. What have I done?

"Stiles..." I start

"Get some rest please" He whispers and leaves the room. More tears fall from my eyes as he leaves. The nurse comes in and runs some tests and then leaves. I fall asleep shortly after. When I wake I expect Stiles to be next to me but he's not. Malia is.

"Who else got hurt?" I say not wanting to talk about Stiles. 

"Melissa was in pretty bad shape but she's recovering, Mason was shot but it wasn't that bad and then you. Theo got hit in the arm but it healed pretty fast" She says barely looking at me. 

"You spoke to Stiles..." I say looking at her. 

"No I heard what you said to him. Stiles hasn't spoken to anyone" She says "Lydia you may not realise it but we were trying to protect you, stress isn't good for the baby we didn't want anything to happen Stiles wanted to tell you but Scott and I thought we should get more information first" 

"I didn't mean what I said to him" I say. 

"But you still said it, and Stiles has been through hell the past 12 hours. We all have, the doctors didn't know if you would both make it" she says. 

"What do I do?" I say. She sighs.

"Look after yourself. That's all he wants Lydia, For you to be okay" She says. "I have to go check on Scott before he does something stupid" I nod and watch her leave. The doctor enters soon after with Stiles who barely looks at me. 

"Miss Martin, we've run all tests. You and your baby made a narrow escape thanks to your fiancé here who stopped the bleed before it got too bad, we can discharge you but you need to take it easy" The doctor says "I will leave you to get ready, your fiancé has signed all the necessary forms" he leaves shaking Stiles' hand. 

"I got some of your things, I'll wait outside" Stiles says handing me a bag. 

"No! Stiles. I didn't mean what I said. I was upset that you didn't tell me and I'm so sorry. I understand if you don't want to marry me" I say. He sighs and slumps down on the bed. 

"Lydia, I know you are strong enough to handle it. I was worried about you and the baby. You were already upset about your mom and I didn't want to put anything else on you" He says finally looking at me. 

"Do you still want to marry me?" I whisper. He takes my chin and lifts my head up to look at him. 

"I will always want to marry you" He says. I smile and press my lips to his. He takes my hand with my ring on it and kisses it gently "Now get that cute butt dressed we have to go to a pack meeting" 

"Stiles, I love you"

"I love you too, Lyds"
