The broken fox and the heroic wolf

"Babe! Look! Stormy showed his red eyes!" Derek called from the nursery. I got up with Skyler in my arms and walked over. He was sitting in the rocking chair holding storm on his chest. Storm was growling at Derek as they had a staring contest. They had their red eyes showing. Only Storm was growling.

"Storm stop growling at your daddy" I said softly watching the two. Storm kept growling and kicked his legs. Derek frowned and looked at him. He kissed storm's nose and rubbed his back. Storm calmed down and laid his head on Derek's chest. Derek smiled softly and kissed his forehead. He smiled softly and hummed to storm. He pulled a blanket over them and watched him. I went over and kissed Derek's forehead and smiled softly.

"Hey beautiful" he smiled softly and looked at me. I chuckled and smiled softly. I rocked Skyler and laid her down in her crib. I smiled softly and hummed. Skyler wined a bit and kicked her legs. She yawned and whimpered. I gently rocked the crib and watched Skyler fall asleep. I cooed at how peaceful she looked. She slept and pulled her blanket over herself. I chuckled a bit and pulled it down. I kissed her forehead and walked back over to Derek. Derek was holding storm close and humming a lullaby. I smiled softly watching Derek. The sight of Derek shirtless and stormy in nothing but a diaper curled up on Derek was perfect. I took out my phone and took a picture. I grinned at the picture and kissed Derek's forehead. Derek hummed as he opened one eye looking at me. He gave a smile then held Storm yawning a bit. I shook my head and left the room leaving my three babies. I went and cleaned up the house smiling, but then I heard it. A voice that caused me to drop a glass plate on my foot. I backed away and ran into the wall. I listened as it danced around my head. I shook my head and pushed the thoughts to the back of my head as I made up two bottles then made Derek a sandwich. After that I grabbed two ice packs for my chest and went to the couch. I laid down and put the ice packs in place. I put it my headphones and listened to my music. I frowned and tried to get the voice out of my head.

'You can't ignore me stiles... I am you' the voice said. I knew it was trying to get me upset, but if I reacted I would give it power. I kept trying to ignore it, but it shot an image into my head. Derek holding his chest as he fell, then the bodies of my twins beside Derek. I let out a yell as I sat up. I looked around and saw Derek standing over me holding the twins as they cried.

"Babe...?" Derek's voice was soft and sweet as he knelt beside me. I wrapped my arms around him and sunk into the hug.

"Babe what happened?" He asked as he gently gave me storm.

"I-I guess I dozed off and had a bad dream..." I said softly and rocked storm. He was crying, but when I held him he nearly instantly calmed down. I moved him so his ear was over my heart. He calmed down and snuggled close to my heart.

"What was it about babe...?" Derek asked as he sat beside me. I looked at him then looked down.

"You and the twins.... dead..." I said quietly. I didn't know what the dream meant, but it terrified me.

"Oh... stiles, nothing is going to touch me of the twins. I will put my life on the line for the twins if it comes to it... I'll keep you and the twins safe" he said softly and in a comforting tone. I relaxed right away as he spoke. I leaned against him and just watched our beautiful children.
