Lydia woke up in her hotel room whereas Stiles woke up in his bed next to a little girl. Lydia got up and got into the shower doing her normal routine. Stiles got up bathing the little girl before showering himself.

Stiles got changed into some smart clothes that consisted of a white button up and some black pants. Bella wore a beautiful white little dress with daises on it. Lydia wore a blue dress, showing off her curves perfectly.

Stiles brushed her hair before putting on her frilly socks and sparkly shoes. Stiles finished getting her  ready and headed out the door.

Lydia walking out the door being back for over a week drove to Allison and Scott's engagement party. Stiles and the little one arrived before any one else, helping with setting up.

After half an hour mostly everyone was there and Lydia was just arriving. She nervously walked in, Stiles name ringing around her head. Bella stood in the corridor hiding from her dad that was chasing her.

"Hello." Lydia heard a small voice and turned around.

"Oh hello." Lydia smiled sweetly.

"Are you Lydia?" She asked.

"Yes, why?" Lydia asked confused.

"My Dad talks about you all the time." She smiled and grabbed her hand. "I bet he can't wait to see you." Lydia was very confused at this point.

Bella pulled her into the big room filled with tables, drinks and laughter. Lydia looked around overwhelmed by the haunting room and the little girl.

"Lydia?!" Someone said.

"Allison!" Lydia said and ran; engulfing her in a hug. "I missed you."

"I missed you too!" Allison smiled. "I thought you got in a week ago? Why didn't you visit?"

"I was just getting used to it again..."

"Ally?" Bella said pulling on her leg. "Where's Daddy?"

"He's um-" Allison is interrupted by Scott.

"Lydia!" Scott smiled and gave her a hug.

"Hey Scott." Lydia smiled.

"Arabella." Someone cooed making the little girl giggle.

"Lydia I think we need to-" Allison started before yet again being interrupted.

"DADDY!" The girl shouted running over to her dad, Lydia's eyes following the little girl. Stiles chuckled picking her up and tickling her.

The room went silent.

Lydia was speechless, not only has Stiles moved on, he has a child. A beautiful baby girl, that looked exactly like him.

Stiles noticed the silence and looked up to see the girl he's loved since the third grade standing there. He was speechless and in shock, he didn't have a clue that she was going to be there.

Allison and Scott looked at them awkwardly, worried about what would happen next.

"L-Lydia." Stiles stuttered completely speechless and nervous.

"Hi." She spoke quietly still unsure of her own words.

"Daddy look it's that girl you talk about all the time." Bella pointed over to Lydia.

"I think it's best if you guys go discuss this somewhere else, I'll take Bella." Allison spoke walking towards Stiles. "Let's go dance Belle!"

Bella jumped down running towards the dance floor, Scott and Allison following. Lydia walked out first, Stiles awkwardly following behind.

Lydia waited outside till Stiles joined her, they stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say after 5 long years without each other.

Lydia didn't want to be weak, not in front of him, she wanted to be strong but as soon as she looked into his deep whiskey brown eyes she let go, tears falling.

Stiles watched her and immediately comforted her holding her tightly. He played with her hair making her relax immediately. He held onto her tightly for the first time in a long time feeling loved.

She felt so happy in his arms, all her troubles and worries were gone and she was in his arms, safe. She took in his familiar scent the one she loved and missed so very much.

He kissed her head letting her know it was okay and that he was sorry. They stayed there for a while, they couldn't speak so there body language spoke for them.

"I'm so sorry." Stiles broke the silence.

"Me too." Lydia spoke wiping her eyes. "So, you have a daughter."

"Yeah. Arabella Claudia Stilinski." He smiled thinking about his beautiful little girl.

"That's a beautiful name." Lydia smiles awkwardly wanting to ask the one question she's been asking herself but didn't feel like she could.

"Yeah, she really is beautiful, she's my world." He said truthfully knowing that once upon a time ago Lydia was his world.

"So who's the lucky woman?" Lydia asked as smoothly as she possibly could.

"Um, after you left, I was so broken and then my memories came back causing me to be hurt even more, so I went back to my old ways, my nights were filled with countless one night stands and yeah.... two weeks after Bella was born she... left." He spoke sadly. "She said she was just going out and then.. and then she never came back." He chuckled slightly hurt.

"Oh Stiles." Lydia spoke trying to comfort him rubbing his shoulder. They hug yet again holding onto each other.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't of said all that to you." He babbled.

"It's okay." Lydia said re-assuring him.

"How are you though?" Stiles asked trying to change the topic.

"Better." She simply answered. He was about to say something but got cut off by Bella.

"Daddy!" Bella ran up to him and he picked her up. "Hi Lydia." Bella smiled.

"Hi Bella." Lydia smiles. "It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too, Daddy... can I have some food now I'm hungry." Bella said making Stiles chuckle.

"Yeah, sure princess." He kissed her head. Lydia admired the pair, thinking how good of a father Stiles was and how much he adored the little girl.
"You coming Lyds?" There it was, the nickname that made her knees weak and the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.

"Yeah." She said following them in. Stiles took Bella to get some food while Lydia went to get a drink. Stiles sat down at the table and started feeding Bella, meanwhile Lydia was drinking alone at the bar.

Later on Lydia made her way around greeting everybody she missed like Issac and Cora, she  ended up sitting next to Allison. Stiles was on the dance floor, spinning with Bella and laughing.

Lydia watched them smiling. "He really loves her." Allison said following her gaze.

"Yeah." Lydia agreed.

"He's sacrificed everything for her, he's the best father." Allison said making Lydia smile.

"He seems like it, she adores him." Lydia spoke watching the giggling pair.

Lydia took out her phone and saw 10 missed calls from Alec. "Excuse me." She said before getting up and leaving. Stiles noticed still dancing with the girl.

"Hello." Lydia said to Alec.

"Lydia?! Where the hell have you been? I go round to your place and find out that you've gone away for some wedding!" Alec shouts down the phone.

"I wanted to invite you but nearer the time of the  wedding." She tried to explain helpless.

"You know what Lydia! I don't need your excuses! Your disgusting and your cruel." Alec slammed the phone down. Lydia was hurt but is it sad to say she's used to it. Lydia wiped her eyes making sure no tears had fallen. She sighed before heading back in, her night official ruined.

She sat back in her original place for a while alone until a little girl with sparkly shoes joined her. Lydia looks at her.

"Will you dance with me?" The little girl asked.

"Are you sure?" Lydia questioned.

"Of course, come on!" She grabbed her hand and dragged her onto the dance floor. Stiles stopped talking with Issac to look at the two girls.

Lydia giggled twirling the girl. Bella smiled happily dancing with her. Stiles watched them in awe his two favourite girls together. Lydia came to think maybe her night wasn't ruined after all.
