The Hale Pack

The New Arrivals

Noise ran through the packed house, excitement bubbling through the air threatening to push the walls apart from the pressure. 

“I hope they have some girls!”Lydia shouted; it was clear that she was excited to begin to design their wardrobe.

“Well if they have guys, we can train them up to be fighters! Like their Dad!”Scott retaliated, obviously excited about the newest arrivals.

“Excuse me! Girls are just as good at fighting as guys are!”Allison practically shouted back. Scott realized his mistake and lowered his head sheepishly.

They had talked about the new pups for months. Each of them had suggested many names to Stiles and Derek, but they persistently said; “It’s a surprise, you’ll know their names when you meet them”. 

Even Jackson didn’t manage to seem unamused for long, soon joining in with the name suggesting. 

Isaac was like Lydia, he practically bounced around the room when Stiles and Derek told them the good news. Isaac loved kids, and he already volunteered to babysit them if it was ever needed.

Boyd was unreadable most of the time, but if you looked closely, there was a slight smile on his face, which was a seldom sight.

Erica and Allison were excited for the new pups, but not nearly to the extent of Lydia and Isaac, they were more looking forward to training them to beat up the boys.

Scott was excited for Stiles and Derek because he knew it’s what they wanted more than anything in the world. He was always followed closely by Liam who Derek still scared the hell out of. He was also worried about his anger management issues, and didn't want to harm the pups. Although the rest of the Pack had made it clear that they trusted him, and believed his issues were a thing of the past.

Malia was trying to remain calm, but it was clear she was losing control over her anticipation, after all, she had killed her foster family, and hoped that these kids might help her recover from that incident.

Inside the room, Derek was sitting on the bed next to Stiles and holding his hands. Deaton was at the end of the bed making sure everything was all good for the birth of the pups. Sheriff Stilinski was in the corner watching nervously, but excited all the same. He never thought he would have grandchildren. After all, Stiles isn’t the sort of person he imagined someone falling in love with, he was a bit too…over the top. One thing he never would have betted on was his son giving birth to his grandchildren! But after discovering about werewolves, banshees, and all other manner of supernatural beings, nothing really surprised him anymore.

It was a stressful 13 hours for everyone in that room, especially Stiles, who was clearly in pain, but understood that what he was doing was necessary, and soon he would have a complete family of his own. Derek’s nerves were strung just as tightly as Stiles’ during all of this, but his was more in panic than pain. It was clear he had never had to give anyone moral support ever in his life, especially not in a situation like this. Luckily Deaton was no stranger to this field of work, after all, he was the Hale’s protectors, and even helped birth Derek and even his mother.

When the pups finally arrived, everything seemed in order. The first cry rang out through the closed door. The pact all stood still listening intently, one by one, more cries rang throughout the night as there genders were announced. “Boy, girl, girl, girl, boy, boy…”

Deaton noticed something unusual about the final pup, the runt of the litter. There was a brief moment of silence (a rare occurrence in this household) before Deaton announced to Derek and Stiles that it was a girl. They had had seven pups in total! Everyone outside the room cheered, and jumped around, although it was clear that the girls were more excited, and gave the guys smug looks of satisfaction. The boys just grinned.

“Derek, does your family have any history of containing other supernatural beings?”Deaton questioned quietly.

“No, not that I’m aware of…”Derek responded, growing slightly nervous, “Why?”

“Well it’s just that, this little one isn’t a werewolf…she’s a fae.” The doctor answered

Derek and Stiles shared a glance at each other. Derek was going slightly pale faced.

“You mean she's a fairy? How can you tell?”Stiles asked the vet, who looked just as confused as the rest.

“Yes, I'm certain of it. Her vivid green eyes give it away.”Deaton replied, looking at the couple, as they suddenly cheered up.

“Well, we are a same sex couple who just had seven kids”Stiles sighed to Derek.

“A magical being can’t make things any stranger.”Derek said to his mate, kissing him on the forehead.

After the birth of the final pup, the rest of the pack was allowed into Stiles and Derek’s room. The entire pack went over to Stiles and Derek, who had all seven pups in their arms. Stiles looked exhausted and hardly conscious. Scott worried for his friend, but understood that he did just give birth to seven children! Derek looked like the happiest person in the world (which he was). They all congratulated Derek and Stiles, and made comments about how they looked so much like their fathers. Then the subject of names came up. The entire pact formed a crescent around the bed, waiting for the names of the new pups. “Well we have James and Abbey,”Derek told the pack, gesturing to two of the pups who had deep dark eyes, the colour of chocolate sauce. It was clear that these two would be strong fighters; the pack could just feel it. “Lyra and Adrian”pointing to two girls in Stiles left arm. Lyra was quite pretty with her long soft tendrils of dark hair, and it was obvious that Adrian would be academic, his quiet burbling showing the Stilinski in him. The Sheriff smiled. “Justin and Callum”showing two young boys in his arms. Both of these boys looked identical. “And finally Laura”Derek stated, nodding to the smallest one who was laying on Stiles’chest, her blonde curls startling the rest of the pack. 

Before the pack could make a racket, Derek hushed them, saying “Now there’s one little thing you need to know about little Laura here… she’s not a werewolf”. The whole pack was taken aback. 

“Well…what is she then? Just human?”asked an excited Isaac.

“A fairy.”Derek told them, with an affectionate look at Stiles, which he returned exhaustedly.

It was an exciting time for the pack, after hours of shouting and the smell of sweat in the air, they had finally gotten to meet the new members of the pack. Stiles had been hobbling around the house for weeks, his belly full of pups, and now they were born, he could go back to his usually bubbly self, just hopefully a bit more mature. After all, he now had children!

After the pack’s initial shock about Laura, they all went off to celebrate downstairs, leaving Derek and Stiles alone with their pups. Derek lay down next to Stiles and kissed his forehead. As Stiles rest his head on Derek’s shoulder, the two of them looked down at their sleeping children. The pack was finally complete.
