Being abandoned in a strange city, pregnant and fresh out of college, didn't slow Malia down. It just gave her drive to survive and raise her child on her own. Another romance wasn't part of the plan but Scott ruined that by living in the same apartment building. In an apartment right next to hers. What started as a friend helping another friend through a tough time, turned into love and a life long commitment. Basically, stiles is an entire asshole in this and abandons her for Lydia. Scott is her neighbor and a super sweet guy who just wants to help, It turns into taking care of Malia and helping raise a child for the next 18 years. Basically, Malia goes to college, meets Scott and Scott takes care Malia and Stiles' kid because he's a nice guy but ends up falling for her. Blah blah blah.
