Chapter 9

Derek's POV

The house is silent when I wake and my bed empty. Stiles no longer beside me. I figure he probably had to meet up with his dad, I sigh sitting up from my spot on the bed. My stomach turns from the conversation I had earlier, the thought of not playing both Basketball and Baseball this year is literally sickening. It's not that I can't afford college and need a scholarship but I actually thoroughly enjoy playing the sports. I rest my head in my hands feeling a headache spring into action

My phone buzzes and I groan, the sound is too loud and I don't feel like moving to go get it. But it could be Peter asking me what I want to eat for dinner and honestly, I have a bad case of cravings. I muttered under my breath while grabbing my phone from my nightstand, it blinks with one notification, an unknown number

I unlock my phone and open the text expecting it to be just a random number that accidentally feted the wrong number, but it's not

-New Text Message-

From: Unknown

Your little secret is no longer a secret. You really have to be more careful where you talk. Someone might be listening

I instantly feel my heart skip a beat.. Someone knows. We're busted. We're exposed. It could be a hunter. They could hurt my baby!

-Outgoing Text Message-

From: Derek

Who is this?

Keep it cool Der maybe they mean a different secret, I think to myself. My phone buzzes again

-New Text Message-

From: Unknown

That's not important, let's just say I know you have a bun in the oven Derek Hale. How do you think scientist's will react when I expose a freak of nature? The first male to give birth. I'll be rich and you'll be tied up.. My gain is way more valuable than yours

I gulp, who is this? I can't think of anyone who seems this crazy in school. But then again, I never really talk to anyone outside of the pack and outside of my teams

-Outgoing Text Message-

From: Derek

Look bud, you got the wrong number..

Maybe if I play dumb they'll, I don't know.. stop, hopefully. I sigh getting up from bed, I have to tell someone. Stiles obviously. Peter.. he could track whoever this is the quickest, but Lydia could trace the phone. I should tell the pack, but what if that just puts them in danger?

-New Text Message-

From: Unknown

Look Hale, you can act stupid, heck I don't care, just know your secret is timed and trust me you don't have very long

I chuck my phone across the room. That asshole! They have no right! They can't just ruin my life.. my baby's life! I let out a frustrated growl. My phone's screen is cracked and I know I should reply but I'm too pissed to think to form a sentence

I stomp out of my room and into the even darker areas of my house. I want to leave, I feel too confined here. I need fresh air, I need something because I feel like I'm going to go out of my freaking mind. Just as I was about to walk out bare foot, Peter walks in with a grocery bag, he flicks on the lights and raises an eyebrow at me

"What's wrong?" he asks placing the bag on the dining room table

"Someone knows" I spat feeling my cheeks turn bright red

"About the baby?" he speaks slowly annoying me even more

"Yes about the baby!" I yell and he sighs

"Who?" he asks

"I don't know" I groan

"How do you not know?" Peter scoffs

"The number's private" I feel tears well up in my eyes, for the first time since I woke up, I'm scared. For my baby and for myself

"Did they overhear you or..? Peter was just trying to find out more but I just felt hot tears roll down my cheeks

He sighed once more before pulling me into a protective hug, a sob racked over my body an he mumbled soothing words to me. This entire situation was odd but I can't even begin to think about anything else unit I can find out who knows about my baby. I buried my face into his chest not wanting to come back up and face whatever it was that was coming at me

"We'll figure this out" Peter whispers in my hair "I promise"

Stiles's POV

Derek hadn't texted me yet and by now he was probably awake, or maybe he wasn't, but either way I felt a little abandoned. My dad watched me as I sat on the couch bitterly flipping through channels. I did my best to ignore his looks but it made my neck warm with annoyance, he knew how much I hated being stared at

"What?" I asked muting the TV and looked his way

He was giving me a weak smile "Is everything okay?"

"I.. Yes everything is fine" I spoke defensively

"Because if it isn't you can always talk to me about it" he says his soothing tone only aggravated me more

"I'm fine" I tell him

"Okay" he says doubtfully and I don't blame him

"I feel too clingy" I blurted out and he raised an eyebrow

"Clingy?" he questioned

"I always want to be around Derek and I'm constantly worried about him, but I don't want to be a bother" I expressed my troubles and he took off his reading glasses

"That's understandable Stiles. When your mom got pregnant with you I instantly called her when I was at work to the point where my partner at the time told me i was being ridiculous" he said shaking his head smiling

"But-" I start

"I'm pretty sure Derek doesn't mind" he interrupted me smiling

"Are you sure?" I ask, it was so weird talking about this with my dad

"Positive, now go call him. You're bringing bad vibes in the house with your negativity" he joked and I snorted getting off the couch

I stepped into my room, shutting the door behind me and locking it. I grabbed my phone and dialled Derek's number and in two rings he answered

"Hello?" he said, his tone was weak

"Hey baby, what's wrong?" I asked as I sat down on my bed

He sniffled and I waited "Stiles, someone knows"

"Knows what?" I ask

"Ab-About the baby" he said, and I heard his voice crack and my heart sank to my stomach

"What?! How?!" I freak, springing off my bed ready to drive to his house

"Someone heard us in the bathroom.. Stiles, I'm scared.." he says barely above a whisper

That stops me dead in my tracks. Never have I seen Derek scared or express the feeling of fear. Now this random person wasn't to scare him?! Stress him out?! Oh they are going to pay! I swear on everything they will pay!

"Derek, I'll do everything in my power to find out who it is" I spat, blood rushing to my cheeks

"I don't know what to do" he whispers

"We'll figure this out, I'm on my way" I'm too pissed to even think straight, I hang up without a second thought and rush out the door
