"Morning." Derek says when I wake up. "Morning." I say climbing out of bed. "Wait till my dads gone." I say and he groans before lying back down.

I head downstairs and start cutting up fruit immediately and making some french toast.

"Hi." I say when dad comes into thr kitchen. "Morning." Dad says and I hand him some coffee. "Look, I've gotta run. I'm not gonna be at the office so don't drop anything off. We have a P.D.R." dad says and I nod.

"Wait, PDR? What's that?" I ask dad as he heads for the door. "Prisoner. Death Row." He says and my eyes widen as dad heads out the door.

Derek came down stairs minutes after dad left and I handed him his breakfast and coffee. "Are you in today?" Derek asks as he sits at the table. "No, I'm not on the rota. I've gotta go over a shit tone of files." I say groaning whilst making Stiles breakfast.

"Hey, can I ask you something?" Derek asks and I nod. "Well, I think you should move in with me." Derek says as Stiles walks into the kitchen.

"Um... morning?" Stiles says awkwardly and I sigh. "Morning." I handing him his breakfast and he goes to sit down with Derek. I then follow suit.

"So dad was telling me last night that you guys saved Malia, why didn't you tell me?" I ask Stiles and he shrugs. "I didn't. Scott and Allison and Issac did." Stiles says and I roll my eyes. "Give yourself some credit, you did stuff as well." I say before picking at my breakfast.

"You know Nia." Stiles says and I turn to him. "You're 23, you don't need to sneak Derek in and out." Stiles says and I shrug. "I know." I say.

"I've gotta run." Stiles says standing up. "Don't forget your lunch." I yell after him.

When Stiles leaves I turn to Derek. "Im gonna have a shower, we'll talk after." I say and he nods.

After my shower I put on some black jeans and a pink satin spaghetti strap top. I do my makeup lightly and straighten my hair.

I make my bed and then head downstairs as Derek heads up. "Im gonna have a shower." He says and I nod.

I sit down at the table and begin to read through the really boring files and sign a few things.

"Hey so I've got stuff to do with Peter today, do you wanna come with me?" He asks and I look up at him. "Where you going?" I ask him. "Just to the loft." He says and I nod before packing up my files to take with me.

I grab my car keys and follow him to my car. "Do you wanna drive, I can't be bothered? I ask Derek and he nods. I hand him my keys and get into the passenger seat of my car.

On the way there things seemed kinda awkward so I brought the topic up again.

"Not yet." I say and he glances at me confused. "I would move in with you, but not yet. I just don't understand why we're rushing." I say turning to him.

"For now, we can rotate houses or something. So tonight we stay at yours, tomorrow mine and so forth." I say whilst watching him drive.

"But my dad needs to know we're having sleepovers so that it isn't a total shock when I move in with you. Then also with Stiles' nightmares, I just wanna make sure he's okay before I move out." I say and Derek nods. "Okay, we'll do that then." He says and I smile happily.

When we get to Derek's place, he takes my files from me and I follow him upstairs.

Derek puts my stuff down on the coffee table by the sofa. "Thanks." I say and he squeezes my shoulder before getting the stuff ready for when Peter gets here.

"Well what have we got here. My nephew and the better Stilinski." Peter says as I lean further into the sofa whilst reading a file. "Oh thank you, how kind." I say smiling.

"Please tell me you're gonna do something about my finger." Peter say to Derek and I look up to see Peter missing half of his finger. "Yeah, I am." Derek says grabbing the other half of his finger and some stuff along with it.

"Yeah ew." I say turning my back to them whilst reading over this boring file and signing where I need to.

"Don't you have any anesthetic?" I hear Peter complain. "Yep." Derek says bluntly, making me laugh slightly.

"Are you atleast going to tell me what I risked life and digit for?" Peter asks before wincing. "Im going to show you." Derek says so I turn around curiously.

I watch Derek open the box and tip it upside down to reveal a bunch of claws onto the table.

"After the fire, that's all that was left of her." Derek says to Peter. "Talia." Peter says revealing Derek was talking about his mom. "I can't decide if that's touching or morbid. I guess the real question is, what are you planning om doing with them?" Peter asks and I look at Derek curiously.

"I have to ask her something. And from what I've heard, this is the only way it's possible." Derek says before sliding the box to Peter. "You gotta be kidding me." Peter says looking at his hand. "Why do you think I sewed your finger back on?" Derek asks Peter and I laugh softly as Peter looks at the box, whilst weirded out.

My phone starts ringing and I pick it up to see Dad's caller ID.

"Hey what's up?" I ask into the phone. "Okay, you know I told you this morning we had a PDR at the hospital." Dad says and I groan. "Please tell me it's not what im thinking." I say and he sighs. "Unfortunately." Dad says.

"The PDR is William Barrow." Dad says and my eyes widen. "The one who walked onto a school bus with one of those bombs?" I ask into the phone. "We thinm he's going to the school. He's going after kids with glowing eyes. Just... I need you to be aware incase something happens and we need to get Stiles out of there." Dad says and I nod.

"Should I come to the school?" I ask and he sighs. "No, it's probably going to go into lockdown, just... where are you?" He asks. "I'm at Derek's." I say and he nods.

"I need you to get closer to the school but not too close incase anything happens." He says and I nod. "I'll go into work, make sure everything is okay there." I say jumping up. "Alright, call me with updates." I say. "Yeah." He says before ending the phone call.

I grab my files and kiss Derek's cheek. "Do you need me to come with you?" He asks and I shake my head no. "I'll be alright, I just wanna be closer to Stiles." I say and she nods. "Okay, call me if anything happens." He says and I nod before to my car.

When I get to the store, the manager, Alex was closing up the store. "Hey, what are you doing?" I ask whilst walking over to him. "Locking up, we're too close to the school and no one wants to come in because they feel unsafe." He says and I sigh. "Okay, whatever just go." I say and use my own keys to unlock the store.

I head inside and grab some of the cookies that had been left out and head straight to the office to do my work. Now if something were to happen, I'd be able to get there quick enough.

I head home to grab some stuff for tonight and Stiles' Jeep was here.

"Hey Stiles? Have you had dinner?" I ask turning the light on. Stiles runs down the stairs with Lydia behind him. "Oh, hi." I say to them both.

"Do you guys want anything to eat? I was planning on staying at Derek's tonight. I also brought back a tone of croissants for breakfast for you and dad tomorrow.  But I was gonna make you guys something. Anything in particular?" I ask them.

"Uh we can eat before we go but uh make it quick." Stiles says and I scoff whilst rolling my eyes.

I make some food for everyone, quickly. "I'm staying at Derek's, I'm just gonna grab some stuff." I say to Stiles and he nods whilst eating.

"You aren't moving in with him are you?" Stiles asks and I shake my head no. "Not yet atleast, you don't need to worry about that." I say before heading upstairs.

I pack some stuff for the night and then head back downstairs. "I've gotta go. Be safe and Don't do anything completely idiotic." I say kissing Stiles forehead then Lydia's.

I get to Derek's and he was all sweaty. "Jesus, are you alright?" I ask and he nods. "Yeah im okay." He says before helping me with my bag.

"How did it go with your mom, did you get what you needed?" I ask and he nods. "Yeah I did." He says as we sit on the sofa. "Im glad." I say sitting on the sofa.

We sit on the sofa and I make Derek watch friends with me, he wasn't to pleased when we started. But the later it got, the more he seemed to be enjoying it.

"That was dreadful." Derek says as I grab my stuff to get ready for bed. "Whatever you say." I say but before I could get ready my phone rings.
