Scott POV

I turn my head slightly to see the door to my hospital room opening and my mom walking inside. She gives me a smile as she walks over to me. The sound of the heart monitor in my ears is really annoying and stresses me out a little, but I try not to focus on it and instead focus on my mother, who is sitting at the foot of my bed.

"Hi, honey. How are you feeling?" Mom asks me softly as she reaches out and grabs my hand. I smile back at her, relieved to see her again. She has already been in my room a couple of times since I woke up, but it's always a relief to see her. I don't feel so alone anymore. I feel more safe. I can forget about how terrible I'm feeling after that surgery. Getting shot twice is even less appealing than I originally thought, and I never thought it would be pleasant.

"Eh, I definitely could be better, but the pain is manageable. Although, that's probably just because of the painkillers. If I didn't have those, I might be yelling in agony." I reply, trying to sound cheerful. I know I went through a hell of an ordeal, but I don't want Mom to see it getting me down, making her feel worse. I smile tiredly up at my mom as she strokes a hand through my hair.

"How long have you been awake?" She asks me.

"Not long. Maybe 10, 15 minutes. I'm just so tired though. I'll probably fall back to sleep soon." I answer her.

"Mm, well, your body needs the rest, dear. You'll have your normal energy back in no time, I promise." Mom tells me.

"How is everyone? How's Jason? Is he okay?" I ask worriedly, frowning up at my mom. Now that my life is not in direct danger, I can start asking about everyone else now.

"Jason is fine. He's worried about you of course, but he's staying with Allison." Mom informs me

"What about Stiles and Claudia? Please tell me that they're okay?" I ask, fearing for my boyfriend and his daughter. I don't know why I'm so worried, since they were nowhere near Connor Anderson, but I just really hope that they're okay. I'd hate for them to get hurt. I don't know what I would do if I lost Stiles again. Mom smiles mysteriously at me, making me feel confused.

"Claudia is fine as well, she is staying with Lydia. And I think you have a visitor here. They've been waiting here all day for you, worried and terrified for you." Mom tells me as she gets up and walks over to the door and opens it more to reveal Stiles, who shyly walks further into the room. I break out into a huge smile and my heart leaps in joy, which the heart monitor picks up on. causing me to blush slightly, as Stiles now knows for a fact that he can make my heart flutter in excitement. I want to jump out of bed and run over to Stiles and jump into his arms, but I'm hooked up to too many things right now. When the two of us lock eye contact with each other, the world suddenly seems to feel a whole lot lighter and the pain I'm feeling seems to disappear for a moment. I notice that he's still wearing his work suit, which look very dishevelled by now. I guess he really did get here as fast he possibly could, though I'm really not surprised by that. I'd do the same for him. "Stiles!" I call out in relief, smiling in excitement.

"Scott!" Stiles calls back, obviously just as relieved to see me. He rushes over to me and gives me a very careful hug. I do my best to hug him back, not wanting to rip any stitches or pull any needles or tubes out of my arms. I start crying quietly as I continue to hug onto Stiles, so happy that he's here. Stiles covers my face in soft, relieved kisses as we continue to hold each other in the embrace.

"Thank god you're okay, Scotty. You had me worried sick, baby." Stiles whimpers as he pulls away from me, his eyes welling up with tears. He pulls up a chair and sits down beside me.
