Chapter 15: Better Days

"We'll meet you there," Grace looked at the group who reluctantly moved, after being shooed. "Der, can the three of you go with your sisters?"

"Yeah," Derek tossed Grace his keys, before following his sisters with Theo and Liam close behind him. "Give me your keys,"

"What's going on?" Theo questioned, looking at Derek and then at Grace as he spoke.

"I don't know okay. All I know is that I'm needed," Grace answered, as she ran a hand over her face. "Just try and keep them all in the waiting room?"

"I can try, but they're teenagers," Derek told her, wrapping an arm around her quickly before they all headed to the cars.

Grace pulled out of the parking lot in Derek's car first, before the others followed. Grace tapped her fingers impatiently against the steering wheel of Derek's car. By the time they made it to the hospital Grace was being pulled towards the Emergency Surgery section by one of the ER nurses.

"Wait, tell me what's going on. What happened?" Grace questioned, pulling her arm away from the ER nurse as her father appeared in the door way. "Dad?"

"Grace, this way," David led his daughter back down the hall towards another room. "No one is entirely sure what happened. It happened at the school," David spoke quickly, Grace raised her eyebrow at her father that didn't help anything.

"Okay...start from the top. What happened at the school?" Grace asked looking at her father and waiting for him to say something anything. "Dad?" Grace crossed her arms as she waited for him to speak. "Where's mom?"

"In surgery, the same with the Sheriff and Melissa," David answered looking at his daughter who's arms were still folded across her chest. "The others parents are being checked for minor injuries,"

"Doctors Geyer and Dunbar to level one surgery," Grace and David were called over the hospital loudspeaker.

In the ER waiting room, all the teenagers were sitting nervously with Derek and Laura. Though the Hale's didn't have anyone in the hospital, they were there for their friends. Theo and Liam were sitting close to one another, with Theo resting his head against Liam's shoulder while the younger teen bounced nervously. Scott was sitting Stiles both of them wanting to know what was happening to their respective parents. Allison was the first one to see her father walking out of one of the rooms with a bandage around his wrist.

After a few hours Grace and David both emerged from surgery with the news that everyone's parents would be fine. They would have to ask the Sheriff about what had happened. Grace walked straight out and Derek, finding herself being pulled into his arms while David walked over to Liam and sat down beside the teenager putting an arm around his shoulder.

"Your mother will be okay. All of them will be," David said as Liam put his head on his shoulder while Theo took hold of his hand and squeezed it gently.

"I thought doing surgery on the three of them was hard enough," Grace mumbled into Derek's ear as he kept his arms firmly around her.

"They're alive Gracie and that's what matters," Derek said as he kissed her temple and pulled her closer again. It took only took a matter of seconds before Liam was moving awkwardly from beside his father to sitting himself on his sister's lap.

"Kiddo, you're too big for this," Grace muttered, but wrapped her arms around Liam and let him rest against her while Theo sat beside Derek.

"Nuh uh," Liam muttered, turning his head so that his forehead was resting against Grace's and his nose was touching hers.

"Yes you are Li," Grace smiled at him, leaning back and letting him near curl up the best that he could. "I'm going to need to check your knee soon,"

"No," Liam pouted, Grace rolled her eyes he knew exactly what his sister had to do it was her job after all.

"Liam," Grace sighed, kissing the side of the teenagers head as she looked to Derek. "How about we get everyone home? They can stay with us the night,"

"Take them home, I'll call you if anything happens,"

David nodded before Grace and Derek were getting everyone on there feet and letting them see their parents before taking them home. Allison and Isaac left with Argent, with Allison driving cautiously. They managed to get everyone into the cars and headed straight back to Grace's house, where Laura, Grace and Derek set about making make-shift beds.

Once they were all inside, Theo and Liam headed into Liam's bedroom with Liam hobbling slightly from all the activity that he'd done. Theo stopping once when he started to get a little short on breath. Mason and Corey took the lounge, Cora and Laura took Theo's bedroom, while Aiden and Ethan opted for the floor. Scott and Stiles took up the single sofas while Lydia, Erica and Boyd took up the futon.

"Grace, sit down they'll be okay," Derek said after they were both in pyjama's, Laura had gone to get pizza's after setting up the beds. "They've claimed were they're sleeping for the night,"

"I know...I can't help but worry," Grace replied sitting down beside Derek and having him wrap his arms around her. "Cora's feeding Oscar, she said she'd do it until they were ready,"

"I heard him barking excitedly," Derek laughed, as Cora walked back inside and headed for the kitchen grabbing a stack of plates and cups.

"Can't we just forgo dinner tonight?" Grace yawned throwing herself backwards onto the bed and pulling Derek back with her.

"You and I, yes but the others no," Derek answered, rolling to his side and staring Grace in the eyes and they listened to the teenagers starting to bicker. "Or we go help Lore with the serving the food?"

Grace made a protesting sound as Derek kissed her before the two of them stood up and headed back to the others. Theo and Liam had changed into their pyjamas and were sitting on the lounge with Mason and Corey. Cora was sitting with Isaac and Lydia, while Aiden, Ethan, Stiles and Scott crammed into the single sofas. They were bickering over what to watch on Netflix.

"Okay, can we not do the fighting tonight?" Grace yawned, looking at Theo and Liam who had their heads resting on each other. "Theo, Liam are you two okay?" Liam nodded while Theo shook his head. "Theo?"

"Theo, what is it?" Derek was crouching in front of his younger brother while Liam moved slightly so that he wasn't squashing Theo.

"Don't know..." Theo wheezed as Derek helped him to his feet.

"Grace?" Derek looked to her, she nodded and motioned for them to follow her down to Liam's room. "Everyone stay here," Liam nodded as did the others, only Cora and Laura moved to follow only to be glared at by Derek. "I'm serious,"

"He's our brother too!" Laura exclaimed only for Grace to yell this time.

"I don't give a rats ass. Stay out there," Grace called as she closed Liam's bedroom door and had Derek get Theo sitting down. "Derek can you into the bedroom and grab my stethoscope?"

Derek nodded and quickly darted out of Liam's room and into theirs grabbing the stethoscope from the chest of drawers and going back to the room. Grace was sitting with Theo trying to calm him from having a panic attack. Derek handed Grace the stethoscope and watched as she put it to his chest.

"Theo, I just want you to relax and try and take a deep breath for me," Grace said as she put on the stethoscope before putting it to Theo's chest while putting one hand behind his back. "Now again," Theo tried doing what he was told but was having trouble.

"Can't..." Theo mumbled, closing his eyes as tears threatened to fall down.

"Hey, it's okay," Derek spoke quietly to him as he sat on the bed beside him. "Grace maybe try something else?"

"I am, help him to lie down I want to check on his heart," Grace said watching as Derek helped him to lie down before he moved out of the way. "Okay, sweetheart just try and relax again for me," Grace listened to his heart for a minute and determined that there wasn't anything too drastic wrong.

"Grace?" Derek questioned, watching as Grace put the stethoscope around her neck and carefully pulled Theo into her arms.

"His pain medication needs to be changed, and possibly the medication for his heart too," Grace answered, as Theo clung to her when his breathing quickened up. "Shh, you're alright. We can go and see Doctor Young in the morning, for now take the meds you have okay?" Theo nodded as Derek disappeared from the room heading to the kitchen where all the medication was kept.

"Here you go," Derek said with a glass of water and the medication in hand and gave them to Theo as he walked in and sat beside him.

"Thanks," Theo mumbled taking them from Derek and then swallowing the pills and water. "I'm gonna stay in here,"

"Get some sleep, I'll check on both you and Liam later," Grace smiled at him before kissing the top of his head. Theo nodded and laid down, pulling Liam's comforter up as Grace moved and left the room with Derek leaving the door open a crack.

Everyone was watching as Derek and Grace left Liam's room. Liam trying to jump up from the lounge but failing and falling back on top of Mason and Corey who yelped. Laura sighed and helped the teenager up off of his friends before Liam made a hobbling bee-line for his bedroom. Grace shook her head at Laura who had moved to follow him, Derek headed towards her and grabbed Laura by the arm dragging her into the kitchen.

"Li, be gentle with Theo tonight okay?" Grace said as Liam hobbled past her and into his bedroom nodding. "I'm serious Liam,"

"I know Gracie, I'll be careful," Liam muttered going to close the door only to have Grace stop him.

"Not tonight, leave it open so I can check on you," Grace told him, Liam muttered that he wasn't a baby but ultimately understood why she was doing it.

In the kitchen Derek was telling Laura what Grace had determined about Theo. Laura was happy that they were going to eventually have a doctor in the family when Derek got the guts to propose to her. In the living room, they had settled on watching Back to the Future, much to the protest of Stiles who wanted them to watch Star Wars.
