*spoilers from Dither

A few months after the engagement

"Stiles if you don't give me my cup of coffee right now, I don't think I will get out of this bed awake." I dramatically turned to my side on the soft bed and faced my fiancé. We had gotten up a few minutes ago and brushed our teeth only to come back to bed. "I'm too tired to get up and get ready to spend the day with the pack."

"Yeah, well," Stiles grinned and pecked my forehead. "That requires me getting up, too, you know."

"That's true." I yawned, covering my mouth. Fluttering my eyes shut, I moved closer to Stiles. I nuzzled my head against his clothed chest and smiled happily. "Can't we just sleep in today?"

"That sounds like a great plan." Stiles hummed, stroking my hair. "But that would mean that the pack would come to our place."

"Actually, it would be my place."

I opened my eyes and turned to see Noah leaning against the doorframe of Stiles' old bedroom.

"Dad." Stiles groaned out.

"Now get up you two. I have to head in early today and I won't be here to wake you guys up." Noah told us before walking away. "You have an hour before it's time to meet with the pack!"

I groaned and slide my legs off of the bed. As I started to sit up, Stiles wrapped his arms around my waist and rugged my back down.

"And you have five seconds to get out of that room or I'm dumping the coffee down the drain!" Noah called out. "One!"

"You don't think he would, do you?" I looked at Stiles with worry.

"Two!"

"Nah." Stiles shook his head hesitantly. "He-He wouldn't."

"Three!"

"Or maybe he would." Stiles and I quickly shot up from the bed.

"Four!"

We stumbled through the hallway and into the kitchen.

"Five." Noah grinned at us as he placed two steaming cups of coffee on the dining cable.

"That was just cruel." I pouted, already reaching for a cup.

"It got you guys up, didn't it?" Noah chuckled. "Alright, I gotta go. Don't burn the house down."

"I promise I won't let Stiles make French toast again." I sent a cheeky smile towards my fiancé.

"It was one time!" Stiles defended as he held up his index finger. "I got a call from work and I forgot I was cooking, okay?"

"Sure." Noah nodded as he put on his coat. "I should be off of work by six tonight so I'll meet you at Melissa's and Chris' house."

"Okay." Stiles stoke my cup of coffee and took a sip. I gasped at him. "Mmh, that's some good coffee."

"Thanks for tasting it for me." I rolled my eyes and grabbed my cup back.

"Oh, Stiles, that thing you have in my room needs to be let out." Noah informed before grabbing his keys.

"You couldn't have done it before you woke us up?" Stiles whined. I stared between the two confused.

"No, it's yours." Noah quickly hugged Stiles and I before grabbing his keys. He started to head out the door before he came back towards us. Noah picked up a small plastic bag and placed it in Stiles' hands. "And you need to clean it up."

"Dad!"

"See you guys later! Love you!" Noah rushed out of the house with a huge grin.

"What was that about?" I turned to face Stiles with a raised brow.

"So much for it being a surprise until Christmas." Stiles groaned.

"Wait, what?" I blinked.

"Come on." Stiles smiled at me and started to head towards his father's bedroom. With a sigh, I followed after him and took a sip from my cup. "And leave the coffee!"

With a groan, I placed my cup on the counter before following him. Stiles stopped in front of the closed door to Noah's room and sheepishly smiled at me.

"Just know, someone recommended me this guy after both of his dogs had puppies and his wife told me that you would love this little guy." Stiles nervously rubbed the back of his neck.

Before I could say anything, Stiles opened the door. A golden retriever puppy was chewing on a stuffed lobster toy. The puppy looked up at us as he bit down on the lobster that released a squeak.

"Oh gods! You got me a puppy!?" I squealed happily.

"Isaac said- they got a lot of puppies," Stiles stuttered, having trouble to get words out. "Nat said this one was perfect for you."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I giggled and wrapped my arms around Stiles.

There was a bark and a puppy running towards us. He wiggled himself in between Stiles and I. Laughing, I looked down at the puppy. He had sat down and smiled up at us with his tongue lolling out.

"Oh, hello little cutie!" I spoke in a baby voice. I kneeled down and the puppy jumped towards me. His tailed wagged as he started to give me sloppy kisses. "You are so adorable!"

The puppy confused to squirm around on my lap. Giggling, I scooped up the puppy into my arms and cradled him like a baby.

"Stiles! We have a fur baby!" I grinned up at my fiancé.

"He looks nothing like us. Like at all." Stiles laughed and nodded. He walked closer towards me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder. He pulled me closer towards him. "When should we tell him that he's adopted?"

"Stiles, shut up." I chuckled, shaking my head. "Does he have a name yet?"

"No, they saved this little guy for us so we could choose his name. And Nat demanded that we had dog play dates." Stiles informed me. "Isaac said we can take turns hosting them."

"Play dates sound amazing!" I looked towards him with my never ending smile. The puppy let out a playful bark and tried to lick my arm. "Okay, so what should we name you cutie?"

"How about Parker?" Stiles suggested.

"No, because then Peter would then think we named the puppy after him and we can't have that getting to his head." I stated. "How about Beau?"

"Bow?" Stiles looked at me confused.

"Never mind. Kit?"

"Nah. Asher?"

"Ooh that's cute! Or Cade?" I licked my lips and stared at the puppy. He was staring at his tail in wonder as he saw it wag. "What do you think? Do you like Cade or Asher?"

The puppy looked up after I said the name Asher. A grin spread across our faces.

"Asher it is!" Stiles cheered as he threw his arms up in the air.

"Okay, I'll take him to the back yard to play while you clean up what your dad told you to." I pecked Stiles' lips and started to exit the room.

"I- no- that isn't fair!" Stiles whined.

"Love you!" I blew him a kiss and ran towards the back door.

Asher's ears flopped at the motion until I stopped to open the door. I sat Asher on the grass and closed the door behind me. The puppy sniffed the new area.

"Let's play, Asher!" I jogged passed him. Turning around I saw my puppy  wag his tail and chase after me. Asher released a playful bark. He clumsily ran after me, tripping a few times. I stopped, kneeling in front of him with wide arms. He crashed into me. "Oh, we are so taking you with us to the gathering, Ash."

"Well, at least he will be reunited with his parents." Stiles stated as he walked over.

"Nat and Isaac are in town? They were able to make it?" I asked, scratching Asher's ear.

"How did you think I got Asher here?" Stiles smirked. "Yeah, they got here yesterday with Araceli, Spencer, Easton, Thea, and Hollis. They've been staying at Derek's."

"Hey, isn't Liam brining a girl over this time?" I questioned.

"Yeah, supposedly." Stiles shrugged. "Not sure who she is though. He's been keeping it on the down low. I think he's scared we would scare her off or something."

"Is she supernatural or?"

"No clue, won't find out until we go to the gathering. Which we should start heading to." Stiles noted. I nodded and stood up. Asher eagerly followed suit, sitting up straight with his tail wagging. Stiles intertwined our hands as he lead us towards the back door. Our puppy following in between us. "I already have Asher's stuff packed."

"Oh gods, we're going to be those types of dog parents."

"Nevah!" Someone screeched as I opened the car door. Stiles has just parked the car.

"Natalie-Nicole!" I squealed in reply, quickly unbuckling my seatbelt to attack her into a hug. I jumped out of the car. As I wrapped my arms around her, I noticed a baby bump. I gasped and grinned. "You're pregnant!?"

"Surprise?" Natalie-Nicole sheepishly grinned. Clint, her golden retriever, sat beside her as he held onto his leash.

"How far?"

"23 weeks." Nat beamed.

"And you are barely telling me this!?" I gasped at her in horror.

"It was supposed to be a surprise!" Nat laughed. She grabbed a hold of my hand and started to tug me towards Melissa's and Chris' house. Clint followed after us, sticking next to Natalie-Nicole. "Besides, I'm revealing the gender today."

"Wait! I need my baby." I quickly turned around to see Stiles smiling happily. I walked passed him and opened the back car door to let Asher out. Stiles gasped dramatically behind me.

"You get used to it, man." Isaac told Stiles. He patted his shoulder.

I closed the door and patted my thigh. Asher obediently followed after me. For a second, until he got distracted by a floating leaf. He started to walk after it, trying to catch it.

Chuckling to myself, I walked over and picked Asher up. He let out a whine and tried to wiggle his way out to chase the leaf. I bent down and picked it up, handing it to him. Asher happily bit into the leaf and held it in his mouth. I looked up to see Stiles pouting.

"Oh, don't pout Stiles." I giggled, walking over to him.

"I'm not pouting." Stiles denied, wrapping an arm around my waist.

"No, you are." Isaac nodded. Stiles shot him a glare to which Isaac grinned back.

"Come on, you two. Not today." Nat sighed. She placed a hand on her belly. Clint let out a bark which caused Nat to nod. "You tell them Clint."

"Okay, fine, I will behave." Isaac mumbled. He opened the door and let his wife go in first. Nat grinned and pecked his lips as she walked passed him.

We entered the house to see the pack waving and grinning at us.  Spencer's and Araceli's two oldest kids were running around with Skylar and Carter (Braeden's and Derek's kids). Araceli had the youngest child, Hollis, sitting on her lap. James, Parrish's and Stella's child, was clinging to his mother.

"Finally! You guys arrived!" Lydia rushed towards us. She was about to engulf me into a hug before she saw Asher. "Oh, who is this little cutie!?"

"Asher." I grinned, kissing the top of his head before setting him down. Asher immediately ran towards the kids to play. I hugged Lydia. "Stiles got him for me. One of the puppies from Clint and Riley."

"Nev!" I heard Kira right before she attacked me.

"Kira!" I turned around and wrapped my arms around my friend. She was recently freed from the Skin Walkers. Kira has finally gained control over her fox. "I've missed you!"

"We saw each other last week." Kira chuckled as she let me go.

"I know, but still. It's been years since we hung out and I've missed you. We need to catch up on all of those years."

"And we will." Kira beamed, giving my shoulder a squeeze. "C'mon, Liam has been wanting to introduce his girlfriend to you and Stiles."

"How is she? Is she nice?" I asked. We walked towards the rest of the pack. Lydia has sat on her boyfriend's, Evan, lap.

"She seems like a great girl." Kira beamed.

"Stiles, Nevah, about time." Scott teased.

"Shut up." Stiles rolled his eyes, trying to hide his smile. "I had to clean up after Asher."

"Ah, so now you have a fur baby." Malia chuckled. "That's a great way to prepare for the real deal."

Stiles and I blushed at the mention of kids. The packed laughed. We went around, greeting and hugging everyone. Stella was here while Parrish was at work with Noah. Theo has brought his girlfriend, Ida, of two years along as well.

"Nev, Stiles," Liam walked towards us with a mocha colored girl with green hazel eyes. "This is my girlfriend, Erin."

"Hi, Erin," I held out my hand.

"Hello, Nevah, it's nice to meet you." Erin sent me a shy smile and shook my hand. She turned towards Stiles and shook his hand as well. "And you too, Stiles."

"She's a demigod." Liam grinned.

"Norse. My dad is Tyr." Erin nodded as she faced me. "And you are Greek, right?"

"Yeah, my dad is Poseidon. How's everything going so far?" I asked, stuffing my hands into my pockets.

"The same." Erin nodded. "Gods do something stupid and we have to do something to fix it."

"That is sadly very true." I laughed.

"Hey, we're going to go ahead and start grilling outside. Want to join us?" Theo asked Liam and Stiles.

"There's beer, right?" Stiles asked. I rolled my eyes which caused Erin to laugh.

"Obviously, Stilinski." Theo shook his head and left. Liam and Stiles followed after him.

"C'mon, you are about to see how crazy we are." I chucked.

"Well, with my friends, I don't know. I will have to see who is crazier." Erin stated. "Magnus and Alex can be crazy sometimes."

"Wait, you know Magnus Chase?" I stopped and blinked at her.

"Yeah, why? Do you?" Erin questioned.

"Sadly." I dramatically sighed. "His cousin is my sister-in-law. And I have ran into him here and there. Of course, he loves to poke at Percy, my brother. The wedding was filled with the two of them going back and forth about their weapons."

"Oh wait! Yeah, Mag has told me about that." Erin snorted. "Always says that he wins the arguments."

"Liar." I chuckled. "Annabeth breaks them up before they get more into it."

"Scary blonde chick with the scary grey eyes?" Erin guessed. I nodded. "Yeah, she's cool."

"Hey, Nevah and Erin, come help out!" Melissa waved us over. She had Hollis on her lap, bouncing her leg: Hollis gurgled and shrieked with happiness. His fist in his mouth.

"Araceli is making some super top secret family recipe from her grandma." Stella added.

"What is it by the way?" Malia asked.

"Top secret." Araceli winked. "But, it's a dessert that my gran calls Mouthwatering Caramel Crisps."

"Sounds yummy." Lydia sat down on a chair near the island.

"Oh it is. And," Nat nodded eagerly as she started to rub her baby bump. "And this baby absolutely craves it."

"That's all I craved when I was pregnant with Hollis." Araceli informed us. She started to get all of the ingredients measured. "Easton and Thea used my cravings to have desserts after every meal."

"I would too." Malia chuckled.

"Yeah, and then Easton got Skylar hooked on them too. She keeps asking me to make some and I told her I didn't know the recipe. You," Braedyn pointed a finger at Araceli, "are saving my life right now."

"Okay, so the secret is to add a teaspoon more of caramel." Araceli told us as she started to mix and pour the ingredients. She poured some caramel into a tablespoon.

"Uh, I thought you said it was a teaspoon?" Kira pointed at the red tablespoon.

"Oh, yeah, but I recently learned from my last pregnancy, is that a tablespoon is sooo much better." Araceli grinned.

"Okay," the front door swung open to reveal Noah and Parrish. "We managed to get off work early."

"Great!" Natalie-Nicole clasped her hands together. Clint sat up from his previous position of laying down next to her feet. "If we can get the boys to come in for like a second, that would be awesome! I want to reveal the gender before we eat."

"I'll go get the boys." Ida started to get up from her seat.

"And while Ida does that, I'll pop the dessert into the oven." Araceli opened the oven and set up the baking time and degrees.

The kids and Asher ran over to the girls. Asher leaped towards my feet before he plopped himself down. Easton and Thea went towards Araceli. James hugged Stella's leg while Skylar skipped over to Braedyn.

The boys loudly came into the house. Stiles was making snide comments to Isaac as Scott tried to stop them. Chris and Noah were talking my future wedding. Spencer looked done with Derek as the werewolf complained about Skylar showing signs of lycanthropy.

"But I need to keep an eye on the food!" Ethan protested as Jackson tugged him inside. Stiles stopped by my side and kissed me on the lips. A smile spread across my lips. Breaking the kids, I laid my head on his chest.

"It will only be a minute." Alec rolled his eyes.

"It won't be long, no need to get your tail in a knot." Isaac walked towards Nat with a huge smile. He wrapped an arm around her waist and a hand on her belly. "So, we want to tell you guys the gender of the baby. And I wanted to do those gender reveal parties, but Nat didn't want to-"

"I didn't see the point of making a huge deal to reveal the gender when we could just flat out say it." Nat shrugged.

"Can you tell us the gender already, please?" Theo groaned. "Ethan is about to have a fit and I don't want to deal with that."

"It's a boy!" Isaac and Natalie-Nicole both cheered.
