Chapter 6
I do not own Teen Wolf in any way.
A/N-I know it's been like ever, but school and life got in the way, but I'm in my second to last week of summer school, so updates will become more frequent.
"Back to your seat", Coach Finstock yelled at one of the cross country runners.
Paige was asleep on Isaac's lap and her feet/legs were perched on Boyd's lap.
"Stop thinking about it, man", Isaac hissed quietly, trying not to wake Paige.
The whole pack had agreed not to tell Paige about the fight and Derek, because of her tendency to overact.
Isaac also didn't want to send her into early labor.
Paige and Derek never really discussed how long she would carry the baby before giving birth.
"Like, you're not thinking about it too?" Boyd asked him.
"Well, stop thinking about it", Isaac told him.
"I can't", Boyd said.
"Well, there's nothing you can do about it either", Isaac said.
"You sure about that?" Boyd asked him. Boyd glanced back at Ethan where he was sitting with Danny.
Isaac simply shook his head and placed his hand on Paige's stomach, feeling Camden move under his hand.
The bus hit a bump, causing Paige to stir and whimper.
"Hey, it's okay", Isaac whispered to her.
Her hand came up to rest on Isaac's.
"Two of you, back in your seats!" Coach Finstock yelled, blowing his whistle, "Jared, again, car sick? Every ti... how do you even get on the bus? Look at me. No, don't look at me. Look at the horizon. Keep your eyes... keep your eyes on the horizon. McCall, not you too".
"No, coach, I'm good", Scott called.
Boyd glanced back at Ethan again.
The bus suddenly jerked to a stop, waking Paige.
Her hand tightened on Isaac's.
"Are you okay?" he asked her.
She nodded and stroked her stomach, trying to calm her pup.
Isaac pulled out his phone. "There's a jackknifed tractor a few miles ahead", Isaac told them, "Could miss the meet. Boyd? Boyd?"
Boyd's eyes turned yellow and he started growling.
Scott walked up to their seat and grabbed Boyd's hand.
"Let go", Boyd growled.
"You got a plan. Tell me your brilliant plan, and I'll let go. What are you gonna do? Kill him, right here? And then what? What are you gonna do after that?" Scott asked him.
"I don't care", Boyd said, struggling against Isaac and Scott.
"I do", Scott said.
"Whoa, whoa, you're still hurt", Isaac said.
"Hurt? How did you get hurt? And why aren't you healing?" Paige asked.
"I'm fine. Give me a chance to figure something out, something that doesn't have to end with someone else dying", Scott said, ignoring Paige's questions.
"Okay", Boyd said.
Scott got up and went back to his seat.
"What are you two not telling me?" Paige asked them.
Isaac and Boyd looked at each other. "It's really nothing Paige", Isaac told her.
"You guys went up against the Alpha Pack didn't you?" Paige asked.
They both looked at her.
"How the hell did you figure that out?" Boyd asked.
"I dunno. I just knew", Paige said.
"I think her mother senses are developing", Isaac teased.
Paige whimpered and moved around in Isaac's lap.
"Paige. Baby, what's wrong?" Isaac asked her.
"I don't know. Something doesn't feel right. Camden won't quit moving", she said, "Please calm down".
Isaac tried the best he could to help Paige calm Camden.
"Now the rest of you, don't think we're gonna miss this meet because of a slight traffic jam, a minor tornado warning, Jared. We're gonna make this thing. Nothing is gonna stop us! Stilinski, put your hand down", Coach Finstock said.
"You know, there's, like, a food exit about a half a mile up. I don't know if we stop and then maybe..." Stiles said.
"We're not gonna stop", Coach Finstock said.
"Okay, but if we stop..." Stiles said.
"Stilinski! Shut it!" Coach Finstock yelled, blowing his whistle again, "Seriously! It's a little bus! Stop asking me questions!"
Stiles got up a few minutes later and came to the front of the bus. "Coach, it's five minutes for a bathroom break, okay? We've been on this thing for, like, three hours..." Stiles said.
Coach blew his whistle.
"It's 60 miles to the next rest stop..." Stiles said.
Coach blew his whistle again.
Every time Stiles tried to talk, Coach would blow his whistle. "Being cooped up for hours is not good... You know, our bladders aren't exactly... *whistle* Coach, this is... *whistle* Can you... *whistle* Please... *whistle* Let me talk! I'm... *whistle* Every time...*whistle*".
"Get back to your seat, Stilinski!" Coach yelled.
"Okay!" Stiles yelled going back to his seat.
"Jared, keep your eyes on the horizon", Coach said.
"Jared, you suck!" Coach yelled as everyone filed off the bus, "Hey, somebody grab some towels or a mop or a new bus".
Paige rushed over to trashcan and threw up herself.
Isaac walked over to her and held her hair. "Boyd, go get some wet paper towels", Isaac told Boyd.
Boyd nodded.
"Shouldn't the morning sickness be over by now?" Isaac asked her, as Paige wiped her mouth with her jacket sleeve.
"It should, but Camden's been restless since last night", Paige told him.
Isaac helped Paige sit down and wiped her face.
"You know, if you had been more careful, she wouldn't be going through this right now", Ethan said.
"Ethan…" Paige warned.
The twins were walking on thin ice when it came to Isaac.
"Let's go. Back on the bus!" Coach yelled.
"You know, I'm surprised she's still alive right now", Ethan said.
Isaac stood to his full height and advanced on Ethan. Paige struggled to get up.
"Isaac don't!" Paige yelled, "Don't take the bait".
"You're lucky you got her first, because I'm sure Aiden would have loved to…" Ethan was cut off by Isaac landing a punch on his jaw.
"Isaac!" Paige yelled as Isaac started punching Ethan.
"Danny! Somebody!" Paige yelled.
Stiles ran over to her and helped her up.
"You have to go get Scott", she told him.
Stiles nodded and went to find Scott as a group started forming around them.
"Stiles, what's happening?" Scott asked.
"I don't know. He just went after him", Stiles told him.
"Who, Boyd?" Scott asked.
Stiles shook his head and said, "Isaac".
"Isaac, Isaac, Isaac! Back off! Stop", Coach yelled as Danny tried to comfort Paige.
"Isaac!" Scott yelled.
Isaac dropped Ethan and looked at Scott. Isaac stepped back from Ethan and Danny rushed to his side. He walked over to Paige. "I'm sorry", he said. He took a step towards her, but she backed away, closer to Stiles.
It pained Isaac to see his mate so afraid of him.
When they got back on the bus, Paige still sat by Isaac, but she kept her eyes on the landscape.
"Paige?" Isaac asked her, "I said I was sorry".
"I know you did", she said.
"But…?" Isaac asked.
She turned to face him. "I've never seen you so angry. It was scary", she told him, "I kept thinking, 'what if he gets mad and lashes out at me or Camden?'"
Isaac silenced her with a kiss. "I would never harm you or Camden. Do you understand me? I'm not my father", he said.
"I know you aren't", she said kissing him.
