Chapter Text
Ever since Scott had bitten Liam, things had been difficult. Not only for the true alpha but for his newly bitten beta and the town of Beacon Hills. It was as if every supernatural villain was making their way into the small town to stir up trouble. Things had been extremely hectic lately. Scott had been in and out of the town with Deaton and sometimes with Derek to try and defeat whatever creature was causing havoc.
This meant that Y/N, Scott’s girlfriend was on babysitting duty. Not that she didn’t agree to it, she loved Liam with all her heart often treating him as her own and the young beta had quickly warmed up to her seeing how much she cared for him. Y/N became Liam’s unofficial supernatural mother being an alpha herself. When Scott would be away, she would check up on Liam making sure he was in control and when he wasn’t she would be the first at the scene to calm him down.
It was a standard Wednesday afternoon, everyone had gathered at the MCcall house for a pack meeting. To Y/N’s dismay, Scott was leaving town again with Deaton for the third time in three weeks.
“Seriously, Scott again?” Y/N questioned slightly annoyed.
“I know babe, but we need to go. It’s urgent.” Scott told her.
“You said that last time.” She retorted.
“Look I know how much it means to you to protect Beacon Hills but you can’t keep leaving like this especially when you have a newly bitten beta on your hands. You’ve given Liam no guidance or training whatsoever about his shift. There’s only so much I can do.” Y/N told him.
“I know, I know. Things have been crazy and I haven’t got round to it but I will as soon as I get back. We have to go.” Scott told her pressing a kiss to her cheek and heading upstairs to his room to pack. Y/N sighed and slumped down on the couch. Liam took a seat next to her and rest his head in her shoulder.
“I’m sorry I’m so much trouble.” He apologised.
“Don’t be silly, honey. You’re no trouble at all. I love taking care of you, don’t doubt that for a second but sometimes a beta needs their alpha especially a newborn like you.” Y/N told him pressing a kiss to his forehead as Liam nodded in understanding.
Scott came downstairs with two large holdalls.
“You’re leaving tonight?” Y/N asked him slightly confused and annoyed he didn’t tell her.
“Yeah I have to, it’s urg…” Scott told her.
“Yeah yeah I know it’s urgent, ok.” Y/N replied. A honking noise came from outside which Y/N assumed was Deaton waiting for Scott.
“I can’t believe this.” Y/N mumbled.
“Don’t start this with Y/N, not now.” Scott huffed.
“Well when else am I supposed to? You’re never here!” Y/N yelled in frustration.
“I’m never here because I’m bust trying to protect this town from whatever else is trying to kill our family and friends!” Scott yelled back.
“You know what, don’t bother even coming back. I don’t see why you do anyway. Clearly there’s nothing or no one of importance to you here.” Y/N stated.
“Not anymore. Goodbye, Y/N.” Scott replied picking up his bags and leaving slamming the door behind him.
Y/N couldn’t help but let her tears fall. She ran up the stairs and into the bathroom sobbing. Had Scott just broken up with her? It had been 20 minutes that Y/N had been in the bathroom, Derek decided to go upstairs and check on her.
“Y/N, it’s Derek. Please open the door.” Derek asked knocking on the bathroom door. Y/N hesitated but opened the door to come face to face with Derek.
“Look I know you’re upset but I’m sure Scott didn’t mean what he said.” Derek began attempting to comfort her.
“All this time.I tried and each time, I’m the one picking up the pieces when all he does is just leave for days on end. Urgh I can’t take it anymore, I’m done. I’m done crying over him. He clearly didn’t care about me or how I felt.” Y/N stated. She took a deep breath and wiped her eyes.
“I can do this.” She mumbled to herself.
“Atta girl. Let’s head back downstairs to the others before Liam tries to rip Stiles’ head off” Derek suggested with a small smile.
“You know you’re going to have to take the lead on this whilst he’s gone." Y/N told him.
"We’ll do it together, we always work better as a team.” Derek told her with giving her a reassuring smile. Y/N smiled and nodded heading downstairs behind him.
“Are you ok, mom?” Liam asked as he approached her to wrap his arms around her waist. Y/N returned his hug and pressed a kiss to his cheek.
“I’ll be ok. I have you.” She smiled hugging him tight. She could always count on Liam to make her smile.
“Well this is just great. What’re we supposed to do in the mean time?” Stiles asked looking around the room at the confused faces.
“We stay put and wait before running in with guns ablaze.” Derek told him.
“We’re supposed to sit here and do nothing?” Stiles sassed.
“No, make yourself useful and do some research.” Derek told him shoving a laptop into the human’s hands.
“Who made you alpha?” Stiles sassed.
“I did. When Scott’s away, Derek’s the second in command, you know that. He knows more than any of us so quit being a gimp and do as he says.” Y/N told him off.
“Mom called you a gimp.” Liam chuckled.
“Liam.” Y/N called his name sternly making the beta stop aa he shrunk down in his seat.
“Anymore questions?” Derek asked.
A chorus of nos followed and Derek nodded satisfied.
“Good everyone get back to work.” Y/N told them picking up a file that deputy Parrish had dropped off earlier and handed one of the papers to Derek so they could take a look together. Everyone else got up either moving to the kitchen or the dining room.
