(stalia) the night that changed everything

reawakening

*after his dad explained everything that happened to him and Scott. Stiles depression slowly starts to ease back into place. He stops talking and just shuts down completely.*

Melissa: *angrily pulls john out of stiles hospital room* dammit John, I told you to wait to tell him about Scott. What the hell were you thinking?!

Sheriff stilinski: I don't know, I thought, I thought maybe he would understand better now.

Melissa: john, they were attacked by a mountain lion and his best friend died that night. You are all he has now.

Sheriff stilinski: no, he has you also and I'm sorry I didn't listen to you *he takes her by the hand and pulls her close to him and kisses her forehead*

Melissa: maybe you should tell him about us. That should lessen some of the depression.

Sheriff stilinski: you're right *he returned to stiles side and placed a hand on his Son's left shoulder. Stiles had his head tilted to the right side. The sheriff saw nothing but sadness he had to clear his throat three times before he was able to speak*

Sheriff stilinski: *clears his throat* Uh *clears his throat* son, *clears his throat* I have some good news, Melissa and I are married now. She's your step mom now *trying to sound cheerful but stiles showed no sign of happiness.*

Stiles: *taking a long deep breath and sighing loudly and still sounding depressed* that's great dad, it's to bad scott isn't here he would have loved to hear that. We always thought of each other as brothers anyway.

Sheriff stilinski: yeah you're right, Scott would have loved to be your step brother. His mother and I talked about it for the longest time, but she wasn't ready. I asked her again that night, before I went to look for Laura hales body and she finally said yes. But then I told her about Scott and we decided to wait. And then the things with you, I asked her if she still wanted to marry me and she said yes. So we went to the courthouse and got married. *stiles lifted his head from it's tilted position and gave his dad the best smile he could muster* .

Stiles: well I'm happy for you dad. Mom would be happy you moved on with someone as amazing as Melissa.

*Melissa peeks into stiles room and says with an big and welcoming smile*

Melissa: yeah guys is everything okay in here?

Sheriff stilinski: *looks to stiles for an reaction. And seeing a hint of light in his Son's face. Dull. But a light all the same.* I think everything is fine.

Stiles: yes I'll be okay. thanks mom.

Melissa: *letting out a surprised gasp and then walked quickly over to stiles bed and kissed his forehead and hugged him tightly* you're welcome stiles...
