"I'm going to kill you!" A scream was heard loudly.

Chris looks at the screen confused as if a memory was coming through.

"Alright Mrs.Argent it's time to push again," a doctor says as the screen lights up and it shows a younger looks Victoria Argent breathing heavily as Chris held her head trying not to scream out in pain.

Chris smiles at the screen realizing what day this was. It was the day the twins were born. The most memorable day of his life.

After a few more pushes a baby's scream was heard loudly making the parents look towards the scream.

"It's a girl," the doctor says before looking at Chris.
"Want to cut the umbilical cord dad?" The doctor asks making Chris nod as he was given the scissors.

Chris cuts it as the nurses wrap the little girl who was still screaming up in a blanket before handing her toward Victoria.

Victoria rocks her as the baby continues to cry making Victoria worried as Chris looks at her.

"Let me hold her," Chris tells her in a calm voice making Victoria nod as Chris takes the baby girl in his arms and begins to sway with her.

"Hey, it's okay. It's okay," Chris says softly as the baby opens her eyes letting Chris see her green eyes just like his as a soft smile appears on his face.

"Hey," Chris whispers as he rubs her cheek making the baby girl wrap her tiny finger around his entire pinky as Chris chuckles.

"Eleanor," Chris says as he smiles at his daughter before looking at Victoria who nods.

"Shining light," Victoria says smiling softly at the two as Chris nods looking back at his daughter who was just staring at him.

"Definitely," Chris mutters looking at the little girl.

"Had you wrapped around my pinky the moment you saw me didn't I dad?" Ellie asks chuckling as Chris nods.

"You both did," Chris tells his daughters who smile at him softly.

The screen then shows Chris sitting in the hospital waiting room staring down at his hands as the moment replayed in his mind.

Allison was beside him just sitting in shock with a blanket wrapped around her not knowing what to say or do as tears fell down her cheeks. The brunette was still covered in her twin's blood. She was offered clothes to change into but was in too much shock to do so.

Ellie holds Allison close to her who had to continue to remind herself Ellie was alive beside her.

Chris just kept looking down at his hands rubbing them as he sees Ellie's blood on them. His daughter's blood. His little girl's blood was all over his hands.

Chris knew one day he might lose her but he wasn't ready. He would never be ready.

Eleanor Argent was Chris Argent's little shadow as he called her.

Ellie was the one who made sure he ate, slept, laugh, made sure he was okay no matter what. The one who grew up following him around wanting to be just like her dad.

She was his protector and he was supposed to protect her, but at the moment his daughter needed him he arrived too late.

"Dad," Ellie whispers as she heads towards her dad with Allison's arms still wrapped around her tightly. Chris holds her tightly as does Allison both scared to let her go. 

He couldn't lose her. Chris couldn't and neither could Allison. Their family was already down to three it couldn't be down to two.

Footsteps race toward the waiting room but Chris doesn't look up to immerse in his hands.

"How is she?" Chris hears a voice making him look up to see Derek. Chris just looks at him with an emotionless expression.

"Surgery," was Chris's response as Derek nods rubbing his face before he sits down in the chair across from Chris neither saying anything.

More footsteps come and squeak to a stop making the two look to see Stiles and Scott with panicked faces.

"How is she? What did the doctor say?" Stiles rushes out saying.

"Surgery," Chris and Derek say making the two boys sigh but nod as they sit down in the other chairs.

Next was Issac who went to the seat next to Derek not saying anything as he bounces his leg up and down.

Then a teary eye Lydia came rushing in and headed right toward Allison. Lydia wraps her arms around Allison as the two begin to sob worried about Ellie.

"I knew you all loved me," Ellie jokes making them all glare at her as she chuckles shaking her head.

"Eleanor Argent?" The group hears a doctor call making Chris immediately head towards him as Allison clutches onto Lydia terrified.

"I'm her father. How is she?" Chris asks as he clears his throat. The doctor looks at him and the look on his face made Chris stumble back slightly.

"She isn't," Chris tells him firmly with a glare as the doctor just looks at him.

"The bullet hit a major artery. We tried everything we could to repair the artery but the blood loss was too serve. We lost her three times and got her back, but the next twenty-four hours are critical. You should all prepare yourselves," the doctor informs Chris who nods not saying anything too in shock from the doctor's words.

Chris tears up at that clutching onto his daughter tightly.

"Uhm well that obviously didn't happen," Malia says pointing to the three future Argent-Hales who were throwing food at each other.

Everyone pauses at that before wondering what happened. It would have to be a miracle for her to survive that.

Allison sobs as she clutches Lydia who was crying herself. Derek looks down his head in his hands as Issac looks at him sadly tears in his own eyes.

Stiles was wiping his tears away roughly as Scott looks down in guilt. Thinking of different things he should have done instead.  

"I want to see her," Chris demands as the doctor nods. Chris walks towards Allison kissing the two of her head.

"She's a fighter, Allison. Don't forget that," Chris tells his daughter who nods as Chris looks at daughter and follows the doctor to the ICU.

Walking in Chris's heartfelt as if it had broke seeing his little girl with a tube down her throat looking beyond pale and lifeless with machines all around her.

"Well...I look like death," Ellie says looking at herself disgusted as Allison slaps her over the head with a glare making Ellie shrug.

She makes jokes when uncomfortable and right now she was very uncomfortable.

Chris walks towards her and grabs her hand squeezing it as he tries not to cry. He was taught to hold his emotions in to not break but he knew if Ellie was here she would slap him over the head and tell him to cry. It doesn't make him weak it made him strong.

"Damn straight," Ellie tells her dad who smiles at her nodding his head sadly.

"You can't leave us, Ellie. You just can't. So I need you to fight. Fight like your life depends on it. Because it does," Chris tells his daughter as he rubs her cheek and a single tear falls from his eyes and onto his daughter's cheek.

Ellie squeezed her dad's hand who just looks at her reassuring himself she was still here and alive.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

Chris didn't know how long he was in that room looking at his daughter but a knock brought him out of his thoughts as Derek walks in.

"Lydia took Allison to her house to get some food and shower. They will be back in an hour," Derek informs Chris who nods as they both look toward Ellie.

Derek felt sick to his stomach seeing her like this. Ellie was the strongest person he had ever met and to see her so weak and vulnerable didn't seem right.

"Because it isn't," Ellie says shaking her head.

"Her body is dying. She's getting colder and her heartbeat is slowing down," Chris tells Derek who looks down with a clenched jaw.

"There is only one way to save her," Chris states as Derek looks at him wide-eyed.

Everyone who knew what Chris was suggesting look at him wide-eyed and in disbelief none more than Ellie herself.

"Argent," Derek says with a clenched jaw as Chris looks at him with a glare.

"I won't lose my daughter," Chris tells him before looking back toward Ellie.

"I would whether her as a werewolf than six feet under," Chris tells Derek sternly rubbing his daughter's cheek.

"Dad!" Allison says wide-eyed before nodding slowly. She agreed. She would rather Ellie be a werewolf than dead.

"Uhm what about my opinion on this matter?!" Ellie exclaims throwing her arms into the air.

"Well?" Chris asks his daughter looking at her as Ellie freezes before shrugging.

"Sounds cool," Ellie tells him as Chris chuckles at her shaking his head.

"An Argent as a werewolf. I've seen everything now," Peter mutters before shaking his head making Ellie flick him off as she rolls her eyes.

"Ellie's strong. She will survive it and will thrive as a werewolf. All I need is an alpha," Chris tells Derek who walks towards Ellie looking down at the brunette hesitantly. 

"Your wife just died because of the bite," Derek says as Chris glares at him.

Talia slaps Derek over the head with a glare as the man looks at her sheepishly. 

"I know that, but she chose to do that. Ellie will choose to live. She will embrace it. She is not the typical Argent," Chris tells him as he smiles at his daughter.

"No, she isn't," Derek states before standing right beside Ellie's bed.

Derek looks at her and felt his heart speed up. The last woman he loved who got the bite died in his arms. Derek killed her himself and he couldn't let that happen to Ellie.

Derek tense at that as Talia rubs his hand reassuringly.

But at the same time, he couldn't lose Ellie.

Derek wasn't just saying those things to her to keep her awake he meant what he was saying at the station.

He would follow her anywhere she wanted to go just to see her smile and her eyes light up like they do when she is talking about her favorite show (The Vampire Diaries) or laughing at some joke someone says (especially if it was a joke Issac or Stiles told her). Especially the way they light up when she eats cake.

Ellie blushes at that as Allison smiles at Derek. He had her approval. For no one ever noticed the difference in Ellie's eyes when she smiled but her and their dad. But Derek did. He noticed it.

"Alright," Derek agrees making Chris look at him and nod. Derek's werewolf alpha face came out as he grabbed Ellie's wrist carefully.

"Please don't hate me," Derek whispers softly before he takes a deep breath and bites Ellie's wrist.

Grabbing a surgical wrap Derek wraps it up with a small kiss to Ellie's wrist before sitting it back down carefully.

"Now we just wait to see what happens," Derek tells Chris as he sits down in the other chair. Chris nods as the two waits.

"Well then...," Ellie says chuckling making Allison laugh with her as the two shake their heads.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

Allison walks towards Ellie's hospital room dressed in one of Ellie's hoodies wanting to feel close to her. Wiping her tears Allison walks into the room and immediately freezes.

"That's my favorite hoodie! You better not get anything on it," Ellie says glaring at Allison who rolls her eyes at her.

"What are you going to do? You're in a coma," Allison says making Ellie glare at her as Chris shakes his head at the two.

"I'll haunt you from the grave," Ellie tells Allison sticking her tongue out at her and making Allison do the same before the two begin to laugh.  

"And I thought Ellie and Stiles were strange," Issac whispers looking at the two sisters.

"Hi Allie," Ellie whispers quietly as she rubs her dad's and Derek's heads that were on each side of her.

Chris sighs in relief as does everyone else seeing the girl now away and alive. Her color was back and the bruise around her neck was already almost healed.

Allison chuckles as tears flow down her face making Ellie smile at her tears in her own eyes.

"I'm guessing you missed me," Ellie says laughing making Allison head towards her in a rush.

Hearing the familiar laugh Derek and Chris jump and look wide-eyed at Ellie.

"Finally you sleepy heads," Ellie jokes as Chris sighs in relief and wraps her into a tight hug making Ellie laughs as she hugs him back.

"I love you, daddy," Ellie tells him as Chris closes his eyes cradling Ellie's head in his hands.

"I love you too Ellie," Chris tells kissing the top of her head repeatedly. The two pull away and Allison throws herself on Ellie who winced slightly.

"Sorry. I'm just happy to see you awake," Allison says sheepishly as Ellie smiles.

"I promised you Allie I would never leave you," Ellie tells Allison who smiles hugging Ellie close to her as Ellie closes her eyes.

"Because even in death I'm always with you," Ellie whispers to Allison who looks at her with tears in her eyes before laying her head on Ellie's shoulder.

Once she opens them Ellie sees Derek who was looking at her in disbelief as Ellie smiles at him.

"Now Sourwolf dad would either of you like to explain why I have a bite mark on my wrist?" Ellie questions as Allison looks wide-eyed and Chris and Derek share a look before looking at Ellie.

"Well sweetheart...," Chris begins as the screen goes black.

"Damn that was....a lot," Ellie says making many nod their heads agreeing with her.
