Epilogue - Reunion

4 Years Later

Echo's POV

"Ace Hale! I told you to stop teasing your sister!" I yelled through the house as my two nine year olds caused havoc, "Mom! Can you tell Ace to stop taking my things!" Trudy protested, exiting her bedroom and running towards Ace, "You're so in for it, you little Squirt!" She yelled before literally jumping on him. "Hey hey hey! What's this about?" Asked Derek, walking through the front door with our four year old, Bea.

"Mama!" She squealed when I came into her view of vision, "Hey baba, how are you doing?" She grinned at me as I put her back on the ground. "Scott's invited us back to Beacon Hills, something about an announcement" I smirked my husband, "10 bucks on it being that Malia is pregnant" He opened his mouth to protest, "I wanted to start that bet, you beat me to it" We forgot that for a moment, Bea was still in the room. "Mom! Trudy's using her wolf powers on me again!" Ace yelled, Derek and I sighed, Ace hadnt yet gotten control of his wolf, and Trudy definitely had, a long time ago.

"Well Ace, if you had been smart enough, you would have control of your wolf too!" Trudy yelled at her young brother. "Hey! We do not fight in the house! Do not make your mother stressed! We fight outside, like civilised people" Trudy groaned but grabbed her brother by the ear and dragged him outside. "Mom! I finished my painting, look!" A familiar voice squealed, I spun round to see Sylvie staring up at me. "Its brilliant Vie. Dad just told me that we're going back to Beacon Hills to see Malia and Scott, they want want tell us something" Sylvie's face brightened up looked excited.

"Do you think Malia's going to have a baby?" She asked, her innocent eyes staring up at me, "I don't know, maybe" Sylvie grinned before running off. Derek came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. His right hand rested on my very slightly swollen stomach, "When are we going to tell the kids?" He muttered, kissing my hair as I leant back into him. "Soon, before Trudy starts hearing another heartbeat" We had come a long way in four years, Trudy had gained control of her wolf, well, mostly. Plus Ace and Sylvie can control their wolves better than before.

It's not perfect, but it's definitely improvement.

I've also discovered that werewolf pregnancy is different from human pregnancy. A pregnant werewolf is only pregnant for 5-6 months, whereas the human pregnancy is usually about nine. So by a few weeks into a werewolf pregnancy, I was already showing, not loads, but still some.

"Oh my gosh! Echo! It's been so long!" Malia yelled as she rushed over to me, engulfing me in a huge bear hug. Scott gave Derek a hug and bent down to our kids, "Hey Trude, Ace, and Sylv" Scott was engulfed by my kids on the floor. Isaac was literally running over to me, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him close. "I missed you so much" I murmured in his ear, playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. A familiar blue eyed guy was behind Isaac, smirking to himself as he leant against the doorway.

"Bring it, Peter" I laughed, encouraging him to say hi. He sauntered over and gave me a small hug before lifting Trudy into his arms and spinning her round. "Now this" He said, pointing at Trudy. "Is my favourite Hale" Ace pouted at him, "What about me uncle Peter?" He cried, grabbing onto Peter's leg. "Well, I love you too" He chuckled before putting Trudy down and ruffling Ace's hair.

Scott opened his mouth to start talking when a certain redhead and brunette ran in, both out of breath and breathing heavily. It was Lydia and Stiles. "Where the hell have you lot been?!" He protested, talking about Derek and I. "Busy" I blushed, and only Derek knew why. "Just because the only productive thing Derek and you do is fuc-" I glared at Isaac. "Watch your language before I castrate you" Isaac went silent, making the whole room burst into laughter.

"Now, for your big announcement" I encouraged, talking to Scott and Malia. Scott put his arm around her waist and grinned from ear-to-ear, reminding me of the brother I loved so much from years ago, before everything supernatural came crashing into our lives. "Well, we have gathered you all today, to announce that-" Peter cut him off with a clapping of his hands. I spun on my heel, "What's wrong with you?! They're trying to tell us something and you're interrupting!" I seethed.

"Calm down Momma wolf" Peter replied, a smug grin on his face. "Anyway, Scott, you better get to the point about Malia being pregnant before I die of boredom" I tried to lunge at Peter but was held back by familiar strong arms. "No, remember, you can't shift right now" Derek murmured, trying to make me remember that female wolves that are pregnant cannot fully shift, as it would harm the baby. "I dont need to shift, I'll claw his eyes out with my bare hands!" I growled, trying to escape Derek's hands.

"No, calm down" He said in a slow voice, rubbing circles on my back, successfully making me not want to kill Peter anymore. "Thanks Peter, for telling everybody prematurely, but yes, Malia is pregnant" I squealed and escaped from Derek to run over to Malia, and engulfing her in a hug. "And so is Echo apparently" Scott murmured, but everybody heard. "Oh piss off Scotty Boy" His face went flat and his mouth in a line. "Yep, definitely pregnant" Malia looked shocked, "Really?" She asked, looking down to my stomach. "We're going to get a baby brother?!" Ace yelled, running over to me.

Trudy's head whipped in my direction with a look of pure disbelief. "You've got to be joking-" She cut herself off. "Another one?!" I laughed at her reaction and nodded. "Is it a boy or a girl?" Sylvie questioned, her beautiful green eyes staring into my brown ones. "Ace will be happy to know its a boy, what about you Malia?" She looked stunned, so Scott answered for her. "A girl" I smiled and grinned at my family and friends.

"We're in for a wild ride"
