Mama Hale -A Derek Hale Fanfiction ~~REWRITE~~

18

This chapter is pretty damn wholesome if I do say so myself. The song above is for the end of this chapter. I gotta say, I've been freaking obsessed with it since I found it on tik tok and I knew from the start it would be perfect for this story. Enjoy!

(3rd P.O.V.)

"Did you get the picture?" Scott's voice fills the silence in the car, Stiles holding his phone up to his ear.

"Yeah, I did, and it looks just like the drawing." The human replies, only for Derek to grab his hand, pulling the phone closer towards himself whilst ignoring Stiles' pained complaints.

"Hey, is there something on the back of it? There's got to be something. An inscription, an opening, something." Derek tries.

"No, no, the thing's flat. And no, it doesn't open. There's nothing in it, on it, around it, nothing." Scott explains. "And where are you? You're supposed to be here. You're first line."

"Where the hell is Bilinski? Huh?" Coach exclaims in the background.

"Man, you're not gonna play if you're not here to start." Scott sighs.

"I know." Stiles groans. "Look, if you see my dad, can you tell him- tell him I'll be there, I'll just be a little late, okay? All right, thanks."

Derek looks at the teen as he ends the call. "You're not gonna make it."

"I know."

"And you didn't tell him about his mom." Lyrica pipes up from the backseat, not looking away from the text she's typing to Isaac.

"Not till we find out the truth." Stiles sighs.

"By the way, one more thing." Derek innocently adds.

"Yeah?" Stiles turns to face him, only for the werewolf to slam his head into the steering wheel. "Oh God! What the hell was-!"

"You know what that was for!" Derek exclaims, cutting him off and pointing to the hospital. "Go. Go!"

Stiles climbs out of the car while whining in pain, and Lyrica chuckles as she goes to follow him.

"Where are you going?" Derek immediately stops her.

"I can't just let him go in there alone, Der. Someone has to protect him." She explains, a soft smile on her lips at how much her mate cares.

"But I can't protect you from out here."

"We'll be fine." She leans forward and kisses him. "Now stay here so you don't get arrested, and we'll be back before you know it."

Derek goes to protest again, but she's already gone, jogging into the hospital after her brother.

The siblings walk around for a moment, quickly realizing there's no staff present. Stiles pulls out his phone, calling Derek as Lyrica leads him down another hall.

"Yeah, I said I can't find her." Stiles explains, referring to Melissa.

"Look, ask for Jennifer. She's been looking after my uncle." Derek instructs and Lyrica freezes in the doorway of a room, causing Stiles to crash into her back.

"Jesus, Lyrica." Stiles mutters, looking around the room from behind her. "Yeah, well, he's not here either."

"What?"

"He's not here. He's gone, Derek."

The other end of the line is silent and it seems that Derek comes to the realization at the same time as Lyrica.
