Will, Stephanie, and Isaac all followed the doctors rolling Lydia into the hospital and waited outside of her room as they checked on her. Stephanie called Lydia's mom and Natalie immediately drive to the hospital.

The three teens weren't allowed in Lydia's room because of her condition and the fact that they weren't family so they sat right outside of the room.

Isaac was closest to the door, then Stephanie, and then Will. The two boys used their enhanced hearing to listen in on the doctors inside of Lydia's room. Will was still getting used to his enhanced powers. Hell, he was still getting used to walking again. He was dead for days.

When they heard loud high heels run through the halls and towards them, all three teens turned their heads. They walked as Lydia's mom ran towards them.

Will stood up first, his legs wobbling a little. As Natalie Martin passed them to walk into her daughter's room, she stopped in the doorway when she felt Will, Stephanie, and Isaac coming in after her and immediately turned around to face them, her face red in worry for her daughter and anger.

"You're not coming in here!" Natalie Martin screamed, pointing an accusing figure at Will.

Will froze, almost stumbling backwards from how fast he stopped walking. His heart sank and started to beat faster, making him queasy as he stared at the woman in front of him

He shook his head slowly, not wanting to aggravate the woman. "I know who did this." Will said, hoping it'd convince the woman to let him i .

"You did! You did this!" She screamed.

Wills heart sank and started to beat faster, making him queasy as he stared at the woman in front of him. He blinked a couple times, too stunned to speak. His eyebrows knitted together as his eyes started to water.

"Wh-what?" He asked. His voice cracked and was wavering. The mother pressed her lips into a line and shook her head. Her face started to redden in anger as she took an angry step towards him. "You!" She screamed, jabbing her finger into Wills shoulder.

Will stumbled back, his eyes were wide as the tears finally started to fall and Natalie Martin continued to scream.

"You dragged her into this mess from the beginning! You did this to her!" The woman screamed. A couple of heads turned at the yells and Stephanie took a small step forward to stand beside Will.

She noticed Wills lip start to quiver and his eyes become glossier by the second. "Natalie.." Stephanie tried to reason, but the woman's eyes stayed on Will.

"Go!" She screamed. Will winced in pain. Since he was still getting used to his enhanced hearing, her words were louder than usual. He took a deep breath to control his pain and gently nodded his head.

Will turned around and started to walk down the hallway. Stephanie was right beside him as Isaac caught up to them. She wrapped her arm around Will's and led him through the halls. "How about we go find mom and call dad? They should know you're okay." Stephanie whispered and almost immediately, Will nodded his head.

Stephanie turned to Isaac and gave him a pleading look. "Can you wait by Lydia's room? Call everyone and tell them to come here. They need to know about Will." She said and Isaac quickly nodded. He kissed the top of her head and headed back towards Lydia's room.

...

Stephanie led Will into an empty hospital room before she texted her parents to meet her there. She didn't want to make any scene if they found Will in the hallway. It needed to be secluded.

Luckily, her dad was already at the hospital, staying with Stiles to comfort him since the Sheriff was hospitalized so she didn't have to make her mom wait for her dad to have her see Will.

They made it to the hospital room at the same time, both of them swiftly walking towards their daughter who stood outside of the room, fiddling with her fingers nervously.

"Hey, what's wrong?" James asked, looking to his wife before turning back to Stephanie. Sabrina had the same expression as her husband, both of them watching Stephanie with worried looks on their faces.

Stephanie felt nervous butterflies in her stomach. Her fingers were tingly—and not because of her powers. She looked between her two parents and took a deep breath. "This is gonna be a lot to take in. I still don't even know how it happened." Stephanie explained.

Sabrina took a small step towards Stephanie, reaching out to her, but not touching her. "Stephanie, what is going on?"

Stephanie started to feel her eyes water, a small smile growing on her face. Without saying a word, Stephanie stepped backwards to the door and pushed it open.

Will turned around at the sound of the door opening, his eyes were wide as he watched Stephanie walk in first. After a couple of seconds, his parents walked into the room.

His heart sank at the sight of them; both of them were extremely pale and had bags under their eyes. His mom looked skinnier than usual and his dad's 5o'clock shadow of a beard had grown.

Sabrina and James stared at their son they thought was dead with wide eyes. There's no possible way he could be there right now. Both of their hearts stopped, James watching him closely, trying to find any tell that would let him no that the boy standing in front of him was not his son, but a fraud while Sabrina's eyes filled with tears.

That was her baby.

A sob left her lips and her shoulders started to shake. Will's eyes softened even more, hating seeing his mom cry. "Mom?" He whispered. His voice was shaky, almost child-like, sending Sabrina over the edge. Without a second thought, she ran up to her son and pulled him into a hug. All the pain she had been feeling washed away when Will hugged her back.

She continued to cry in her son's arms as tears started to form in James's eyes. Stephanie noticed and slowly walked towards her dad, grabbing his hand and squeezing it.

James looked down to Stephanie and noticed the small smile on her face and her glass-like eyes from her tears. She sniffled and nodded her head, silently telling her father that Will was okay.

He took a deep breathed before he started walking towards Will. The boy looked up at the sound of his dad walking towards him. The tears on Wills cheeks cascaded down his face, leaving shiny lines from the corner of his eyes down to his jawline.

James brought a gentle hand up to Will and placed it on the back of his neck. "Are you okay?" James whispered. His voice was quiet. He knew that if he spoke any loud his voice would shake and crack.

Will sniffled, more tears falling down his face as he gently nodded.

Knowing that his son was okay was all James Saticoy needed to hear before he let his emotions get the best of him and he started to cry. He wrapped his arms around his wife and used his hand that was still holding Stephanie to pull her in between the two of them.

Once Stephanie was framed between her parents, James released his hand from hers and wrapped an arm around Will, completely the group hug, sniffles and small sobs of happiness leaving someone's lips every few seconds.

...

Isaac had been sitting outside of Lydia's hospital room for about 25 minutes. He called everyone in the pack, but none of them answered.

You'd think after what happened to Will, they'd start answering the fucking phone.

Isaac groaned in annoyance with the pack as he pushed himself out of the seat, ready to head to the room Stephanie said her and her family were in when suddenly, he smelt Stiles and Scott coming towards him.

A small growl left his lips as he turned in the opposite direction of where Stephanie was and instead, following Scott and Stiles's scent, The two boys rammed into Isaac's chest just as they turned the corner. Scott and Stiles skidded to a stop at Isaac there.

"Why don't you answer the phone?" Isaac asked the two boys. His voice was short and aggressive. Scott squinted at Isaac, wanting to know why Isaac was so upset as Stiles shook his head. "My dad— He's..."

As Stiles stopped speaking, Scott finally knew why Isaac was so eager. Scott could smell Will. He was just there. His eyes widened and he took a small step closer to Isaac. "Isaac, what's going on?"

Isaac pressed his lips together and looked around. He took another step towards Scott and Stiles. "You guys should come with me." He whispered. Isaac didn't give either boys any time to respond before he turned around and started walking towards the room the Saticoys were in.

Almost every step he took, Will's scent became stronger for Scott. There was practically a pep in his step as he followed Isaac, wanting to get to the room as fast as possible to see if his mind was tricking him or if Will was actually alive.

When they reached the hospital room, Isaac opened the door and walked in, leaning back into the door to let Scott and Stiles in.

Stiles stood motionless, his eyes immediately focused on the boy in the hospital bed before him. Will, whom he had thought lost forever, was awake, his gaze on his mom who was insisting on giving him a check up.

The reality that Will was alive, that he was here and breathing, hit Stiles with the force of a tidal wave, a surge of emotions flooding through him. Scott smiled at the sight of Will alive and relatively well. He was about to move to stand beside Stephanie to let him and Stiles have a moment, but stopped when he remembered his fight with Stephanie in the rain.

Scott swallowed dryly and stepped back so instead, he was standing beside Isaac against the wall.

Relief was the first thing to wash over Stiles. It felt as though an immense weight had been lifted from his shoulders, a burden he that he'd been carrying finally washing away. The sight of Will, alive and conscious, was like a glimmer of hope in the darkness that had enveloped Stiles's world at the moment. His heart, which had felt constricted with fear and despair, now beat with a newfound happiness.

Yet, amidst this overwhelming relief, a sharp pang of guilt hit Stiles like a truck. It was a fleeting but intense reminder of the harrowing moment he had left Will in, a mindless decision where he wasn't paying attention that haunted him even in this moment of joy. He quickly suppressed the thought, refusing to let it overshadow the miracle before him. Will was alive; that was what mattered.

As Stiles stood there, Will finally turned his head at the sound of people walking in. He wasn't using his enhanced sense of smell so he didn't know who had come in.

His eyes widened and his heart stopped at the sight of a teary-eyed Stiles. When Stiles's gaze locked with Will's, Stiles became acutely aware of a deeper, more complex emotion stirring within the boy.

Even though the first emotion Stiles felt was relief, the first Will felt was heartbreak. Stiles left him. Hung up on him when no one else answered after he said he was going to die.

But Will also knew Stiles. Part of him continued to tell himself to be mad at the boy, to give him silent treatment, anything.

But the other part of him gently told him that Stiles probably had his reasonings. That it was wrong place at the wrong time. Sure Will was still mad, but looking at the boy in front of him, all he wanted to do was be in his arms.

It was like a wordless understanding had passed between them. Will began to push himself up, his eyes never leaving Stiles.

The movement spurred Stiles into action. He closed the distance between them in a few quick strides, reaching out to help steady Will by his shoulders. Then, gently but firmly, he pulled Will into an embrace, a gesture that spoke volumes in the silence of the hospital room.

Will felt tears immediately spring into his eyes. He hid his face in the crook of his boyfriends neck. Tears fell from both boys eyes rapidly, soaking the others clothing. They knew they were gonna have to talk about that dreadful night. Stiles would have to explain himself and Will would have to tell him, his pack, and his family about his new abilities, but for now, they just stayed in each others arms.
