I don't know what I'm doing - Sterek mpreg

TWENTY THREE

Life has been much calmer for Stiles and Derek since Jade was gone and out of their life. They trusted each other more, finding comfort and peace in one another.

They spent most of their time at the loft, barely leaving it, and when Derek had to leave to run errands and buy groceries, he made sure that Stiles was with his parents or someone from the pack so he and the baby would be safe.

Derek rented a movie every night and they made a tradition out of it. Of course, most of the time it was Stiles's decision, which meant either marvel or star wars or something of this nature. But Derek enjoyed it nonetheless. He wanted to make sure Stiles was happy and healthy and nothing else mattered to him.

One night they watched two movies in a row, but none of them was tired enough to go to sleep, so Derek suggested they'd try the thing that Lydia bought Stiles for his birthday.

"I forgot we even had that." Stiles said.

"I've been thinking about it since your birthday." Derek answered shyly.

"Really? Why didn't you say anything?" Stiles said but Derek didn't answered, just shrugged. "It's at my place." Derek nodded and frowned. "We can go get it." Stiles added, "maybe get some food on our way back." He half asked.

"Sure." Derek smiled.

They drove to Stiles's house and looked for the machine. Stiles's parents were already asleep so they tried to do it as quiet as possible. On their way back, the bought burger and fries from the drive through that was close to Stiles's house and drove back to the loft.

By the time they were there, the food was gone and eaten so they went straight to unpacking the thing Lydia bought which was called baby kicks. There were two belts, one for the pregnant person, and one for their partner.

Derek quickly read the instructions and put his belt around his stomach, then helped Stiles wrap his belt oh his own belly. They sat down on the couch, turned it on and waited.

"Do you think this is gonna work?" Derek asked after a few minutes past and nothing happened.

"He's not moving a lot, but I think he's awake, so he'll be kicking soon, we just need to be patient."
They waited a few more minutes, and then Stiles started feeling the baby move around. "Get ready, dad." He said. A few moments after that, the baby kicked and a few seconds later, Derek felt it too.

"Was that.. Was that it? I felt it.. I felt him kicking.." Derek laughed.

"Yeah." Stiles smiled.

The baby kicked again, this time harder, and Derek knew for sure it was a kick, and freaked out.

"Holy shit." He said, stunned, and held Stiles's hand instinctively.

Stiles kept looking at him in aw while the baby kept kicking every few minutes for half an hour.

"I'm sorry to interrupt this lovely father- son bonding but I'm getting kinda tired, Der." Stiles said.

"Oh, yeah, of course, I'm sorry it's just.. really exciting. "

"I know. It's amazing."

"Let me help you with that." Derek said and helped Stiles up and out of the strap.

Stiles went to the bathroom and then to bed. "Are you coming?" He shouted out to Derek, who replied "Yeah, just a minute" and came with two cups of tea for the two of them, Stiles's latest favorite drink.

Stiles has gotten used to sleeping with someone, never thought it could be. In fact, when he was alone it always took forever for him to fall asleep, even when he was exhausted, which was all the time.
