Help me save my balls? (Sterek)

Chapter 34

"Doctor D! Impeccable timing, as always!" I exclaim as I turn to face him. "Ma, this is Deaton, Deaton, this is Ma." I introduce them rushedly, walking towards the stairs up to Alfred.

"Julie!" Ma corrects me, and Deaton exchanges plesantries that seem to make her weak at the knees. What a player.

"Now, D, the patient!" I say, attempting to heard him up the stairs.

"I see what you mean about the mothering now." Deaton says to Derek and he gives him an 'I know right' look.

"Less gossiping, more healing!" I say, ushering the pair into the room. I see Alfred curled up on the bed.

"I have to say Stiles, I can't do any healing until I take a look, you may want to wait downstairs." He says. Aw hell naw.

"I'll stay right here, thank you very much." I say, mostly for my baby, but also because I'm pretty sure if I go downstairs, Ma will torture answers out of me.

"Suit youself." He says and then adds "Please do not distract me." I nod and sit on the chair in the corner. My knee bounces up and down subconsiously in my nervous state. Derek walks over to me and perches on the arm of the chair. He grabs my hand soothingly, despite the current tension, so I make the most of it and lean into him. I think Deaton raises an eyebrow, but I can't quite tell and he doesn't acknowledge it.

"I think you should tell her." Derek says, out of the blue. "I mean, it's up to you completely, but there's no harm in it..."

"I'll think about it." I say, though I know I probably will. I could never keep secrets from Ma. I would have cracked eventually. Deaton keeps working and in the midday heat with Derek comfortably by my side, I drift off into dreamland for a short period of time.

When I drift back into consciousness, Derek is shaking my lightly.

"Stiles, Stiles." He's whispering quietly to wake me up.

"I'm up." I slur and Derek moves back from my line of view and I see Deaton siting beside the bed.

"Bad news Stiles." He says and I'm suddenly completely awake. "Nothing disastrous!" He then adds to stop me panicking. It doesn't work. "I'm afraid I can't cure your little friend here and now, but I do know what is happening. I can either leave him here with you and you'd have to release him back into the wild, or I can take him back to Beacon Hills with me and I'll have to operate." He says and I almost faint.

"Operate?" I say meekly.

"There's something inside his stomach I have to remove. It's killing him and you."

"It's a him?" I ask. Way to go with the grammar, brain!

"It's a him." Deaton confirms.

"Right. You should probably take him back with you." I decide. I can't just let him go if he'll die.

"Ok." Deaton goes to pick him up.

"Wait, right now?" I say surprised, jumping up from the chair.

"The longer we wait, the less likely it is he'll recover." Deaton says simply. Could he not of sugar coated that a bit?

"Way to beat around the bush..." I grumble before asking if I can at least say goodbye.

"Of course. Just make it quick." I nods and move to kneel on the bed beside his spikey little body.

"Hey buddy." I say, stroking him softly. "Doctor D's gonna have to take you now, but not for long, ok? Just do what he says and remember your please and thank you's!" I know I sound like such a mum and he's just a hedgehog, but I don't care. I'm gonna be the best mum ever.

"You know he's just a hedgehog, right?" Derek asks.

"I'm practicing for my own!" I say.

"I'm pretty sure you have plenty of time for that. The longer we wait, the worse it gets." He says bluntly.

"Don't talk about that! Fine! Just take him Doctor D." I agree and Deaton nods and silent takes him. "Take good care of him!" I shout after him, the I sit on the bed and put my face in my hands.

Derek comes and sits beside me, putting an arm round my shoulders.

"He'll be fine, Stiles. Deaton is a vet, under all the badass shaman stuff." He comforts me. I throw all doubts about his niceness out the window and turn into his arms. He wraps his arms around me properly and pulls me into his chest. Though they have become more common recently, Derek hugs still catch me off guard.

"I know... I just... Get attached easily." I sigh. I don't mean too, it just happens.

"Why do you thing you're so perfect in our pack? For us, pack is an instinct, but you? It's just you. You're the pack mom everyone needed. Without your love, the pack would fall apart. The twins would leave, Isaac would have a panic attack every other hour, Lydia would still be screaming her head off in a tizzy, and Scott would just be lost. You're the glue Stiles. None on this would work without you." I nod in agreement, because let's face it, it's true...

"What about you? What would you do without me?" I ask, genuinely curious.

"Me?" He asks, sounding surprised I would even have to ask that but I have no idea really. "I'd probably be dead in a ditch somewhere, or alone in some horrible apartment drinking my self to an incredibly lonely death after having managed to alienate my whole pack."

"You're not that bad with people!" I insist, though I can tell he knows it's kinda a lie from the look he gives me. "Ok fine without me, you'd crash and burn, we both know I'm the light of my life." He chuckles and I smile. I did that. I made the sourwolf smile. I even nearly made him laugh, but at that exact moment, Ma decides to storm up the stairs. I smile at her sheepishly, trying to stop the serious atmosphere from developing. 

"Lubomierz Stilinski, you are going to come downstairs and tell me everything, or so help me god I will lock you in the cellar until you can't even remember your own name."
