Derek Hale, 33 year old millionaire, the only son of Talia and David Hale. His fiance, Amelia Parrish is the twin sister of his childhood best-friend Sheriff Jordan Parrish. Together they adopted four small boys, six year olds Stiles and Scott, four year old Isaac and sixteen month old Liam and a small girl seven year old Allison. Derek didn't care about the money he and his younger sister Cora had been left after their parents had been killed in a plane crash and their older sister died from cancer. Derek had his own law firm, while Amelia was a writer so she was often home with Isaac and Liam. Jordan had become the Sheriff after Sheriff Stilinski had been killed, making him the youngest Sheriff of Beacon County.
Allison and Isaac's birth parents had been murdered by their grandfather and aunt. Amelia had met Chris Argent when her brother had been purchasing weapons for the county sheriff's department. Their aunt had also been responsible for the crash that had killed the Hale's parents. Stiles' father had been the Sheriff of the station that Jordan worked at and had been killed on the job, his mother had died after a battle with dementia. Liam had been with them from a week old, his mother had been unable to care for him. Scott's mother had died suddenly from an undiagnosed condition when he was only two. His father was unable to care for him so he'd been in foster care until Derek and Amelia had taken him. Stiles had been insistent on it, after Scott had only been fostered with them for a month.
Derek's own uncle Peter, had a twenty-four year old daughter Malia, and was in the process of adopting an almost three old little boy Corey. Derek and Amelia had been sceptical at Peter's decision to adopt on his own given that he hadn't really been a father to his daughter until she'd been seventeen when she sought him out. Peter had decided after getting to know Malia, and looking after Derek and Amelia's brood albeit with help from Malia that he was ready to do the whole fatherhood adventure. That adventure lead him to his current situation, fostering three and a half year old Corey and was in the process of adopting him as he'd fallen in love with the child as had his daughter Malia.
Derek was currently standing in front of their bedroom mirror attempting to get dressed while he listened to Amelia wrangling their four boys. Allison was sitting patiently on the bed watching what he was doing, she liked to tell him what to wear. Derek mostly let Allison decide on what socks he wore, today's choice – Mickey Mouse.
"Hey munchkin, what's the matter?" Derek questioned, crouching down as Allison tugged on his shirt while he got ready for work.
"Daddy, are you going to make it to the play?" Allison asked, she'd been calling Derek 'daddy' since she was four years old, she'd been the first of the five to be adopted with her then baby brother Isaac.
"Of course, have I ever missed one?" Derek replied, smiling at her before he kissed her on the nose and she shook her head. "Is this going to be any different?"
"No daddy!" Allison giggled before she planted a kiss on Derek's cheek and raced off to find her brothers. "Mommy, daddy said he was coming!" Allison was heard laughing as she passed Amelia.
"Derek?" Amelia questioned as she walked in trying to settle Liam on her hip as tears rolled down his cheeks.
"She was just reminding me about the play again," Derek said as he stood up again and finished dressing, Allison had been reminding him all week about the play she was in. "Boyd and Erica said they'd be there too,"
"Just don't forget, you know she'll be sad if you do," Amelia told him as Liam finally settled down and rested his head against her shoulder. “She chose the Mickey socks today?”
“Yeah, she picks them every Friday,” Derek laughed sliding on his shoes before he was doing them up and moving to take Liam from Amelia. “Here, give him to me while you shower,” The second that the words left Derek's mouth Liam held on tighter to Amelia.
“You know what he can stay I'll stick him in the bucket and he can shower with me,” Amelia sighed, it wasn't unusual for Liam to cling to her after a rough night when he was still teething. “You can go deal with the other four and make sure the boys actually eat their porridge this time?”
“It was once!” Derek laughed before he headed out of the bedroom and down the stairs to the kitchen where Stiles was standing precariously on one of the kitchen stools.
Derek shook his head as he reached Stiles just as the stool started to wobble, causing him to scream as Derek caught him before the stool toppled to the ground. Stiles continued to scream until he realised that he was safe in his fathers arms and wrapped them around his neck. Before Derek knew it he had Isaac wrapped around his left left, Scott around his right leg and Allison around his waist. Derek sighed and looked down at the four of them before he was walking slowly with them attached to him to the sofa in the living room.
“Hey buddy, what were you doing up on the stool?” Derek asked once he'd managed to untangle the children from his body so that he could sit down.
“I...I...wanted...a...glass...of...milk...” Stiles sniffled, once the tears had slowed down and Allison was shoving a tissue in his face to wipe the snot away. “Sorry...” Stiles sniffled again before he found his father hugging him tightly.
“It's alright buddy,” Derek smiled at him taking a breath before he spoke again. “But, you know to wait for mommy, daddy or even Aunty Erica, Aunty Cora and Uncle Boyd,”
“I told him to wait,” Allison stated proudly, causing Derek to give her a pointed look as Scott and Isaac shook their heads.
“Nuh uh!” Isaac said, Allison pouted before she was saying that they were meant to be on her side.
“Munchkin, there is no sides,” Derek said as he set Stiles down on the floor and ruffled up his hair. “Who wants to help me make breakfast?” Allison and Stiles raised their hands while Scott and Isaac shook their heads. “Cartoons?” Scott nodded enthusiastically and clambered onto his favourite spot on the couch.
“Scooby Doo?” Scott asked, Derek let out a muffled sound before turning the cartoon on and setting Isaac on the couch beside Scott.
“Okay you two, in the kitchen and no climbing on kitchen stools,” Derek said pointing to Stiles in particular as he seemed to be the one that climbed the most.
“Daddy, I promise I won't. But can I have some milk?” Stiles asked as he and Allison followed Derek back into the kitchen with Allison climbing onto one of the stools to supervise.
Derek nodded reaching for three glasses, for Allison, Stiles and Scott before getting out two mugs and two sippy cups. As Derek was putting the cups down, he heard the front door opening and Cora's voice announcing that she was there to see her favourite brother. The second that Allison heard Cora's voice she was off the stool and racing towards her Aunt.
“Woah, slow down kiddo,” Cora laughed, crouching down and wrapping her arms around the seven year old as she stood up and kissed her on the top of the head.
“Aunt Cora!” Allison grinned hugging her tightly, and wrapping her legs around Cora's waist forcing her to carry her back to the kitchen. “Daddy's making mommy breakfast,”
“Really Der?” Cora raised her left eyebrow at her older brother as she set Allison back down on the stool.
“Boys say hello to your aunt,” Derek said as Amelia walked down the stairs with Liam back in pyjamas. Scott dove behind Isaac and refused to say anything to Cora.
“Aunty Ora,” Isaac giggled waving at her before looking back at the television, Cora stuck her tongue out Isaac and waved at him before looking back to Derek.
Stiles told her a muffled hello through a mouthful of milk as Amelia picked up the sippy cup that Derek had set down for Liam filled with milk before she was handing it to the toddler who had his head resting against her shoulder. Cora looked at Stiles and tilted her head, sometimes the six year old forgot his manners. Stiles just stared at Cora and went back to his milk before she was tickling him.
“Woah, okay. What did I miss when I was in the shower? I heard screaming,” Amelia asked as Liam stayed sitting on her hip with no intentions of ever getting down.
“Stiles was...” Allison started to say before Derek was sticking her bowl in front of her and a spoonful of porridge in her mouth.
“What about Stiles, Derek?” Amelia questioned as Cora moved to take Liam from her, Liam shook his head and buried it in Amelia's shoulder. “Leave him Core, he's in a funny mood today,”
“Stiles, was trying to help himself again,” Derek said as he placed a bowl of porridge in front of Stiles and put the spoon in his hand.
“The stool?” Amelia guessed, Derek nodded as the two of them watched Cora head in to pick up Isaac and turn him upside as she walked back into the kitchen.
“Mommy, I didn't mean to. I...I just wanted some milk,” Stiles looked up Amelia and pouted before putting on the water works.
“Stiles, baby that might work on Aunty Erica,” Amelia said as Cora sat at the counter and sat Isaac on her lap before he was grabbing at the toast Derek had put down.
“Sorry mommy,” Stiles mumbled into his breakfast as Derek moved to get Scott from watching Scooby Doo.
Derek walked into the living room and crouched down in front of Scott between him and the TV. Scott didn't like eating with everyone in the kitchen, but when he was made to he sat on Derek's lap. Scott wrapped his arms around his father's neck and put his head down as Derek stood up and scooped him up at the same time. Cora couldn't believe that in a period of four years her brother had adopted five children.
“Aunty Ora, you going to play today?” Isaac asked, tilting his head up innocently at her as his curls fell into his eyes.
“Of course, we're going to go with mommy to take Allison, Stiles and Scott to school first,” Cora replied as she pushed Isaac's curls out of his eyes and kissed his nose.
“Mommy are you going to play?” Isaac asked, turning his attention to his mother as he wiped Cora's kiss from his nose. “Aunty Ora you has girl germs,” he giggled at the same time.
“Girl germs? Girl germs!” Cora laughed holding onto Isaac with one arm and tickling him with the other so that he wouldn't fall off.
“Of course I am baby, kids hurry up and finish eating breakfast. You still have to get dressed for school and daddy needs to go to work,” Amelia said as she shifted Liam slightly on her hip and he started drinking his sippy cup full of milk again.
“You say goodbye to your husband and I'll help them get dressed,” Cora said as she watched Scott cling to Derek as she spoke before Stiles was speaking quietly to his brother.
“It's okay Scotty. Aunty Cora's fun,” Stiles whispered from his stool as he shovelled the last of his porridge in his mouth.
“Scott, you don't have to eat it all but you do have to finish your milk and eat all your lunch today,” Derek said causing both Amelia and Cora to hold back a chuckle as it was the lawyer in him coming out.
“Derek, hate to tell you this but you sounded like a lawyer not a father then,” Cora snorted before she burst out laughing and had to set Isaac on the ground, the second Isaac's feet were on the ground his arms were around his mother's leg.
As Scott was picking up his glass of milk Derek stood up, holding onto him before setting him on the stool and ruffling his hair. Amelia smiled at him, watching as Derek kissed each of the three children still sitting on the kitchen stools on the top of the head as he got to Cora he playfully punched his sister in the shoulder. Cora rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out at her big brother. Amelia smiled at him before she grabbed his tie and pulled him towards her. The five children immediately covering their eyes and Isaac moving back to Cora and tugging on her jeans.
“Daddy, don't forget!” Allison exclaimed before she was darting back up the stairs to her room.
“What time is it again?” Derek questioned as the front door opened again, this time revealing Boyd. Vernon Boyd, was Derek and Cora's foster brother and Derek's driver and bodyguard. “Just one minute Boyd,” Derek called, as Stiles waved at Boyd before grabbing Scott's hand and racing up the stairs.
“Bye bye daddy!” Both Scott and Stiles yelled as they disappeared around the corner of the stairs before Cora was picking Isaac up and carrying him up the stairs behind them.
“It's at five thirty, baby,” Amelia smiled at him kissing him again before Liam was putting his hand in between their heads and pushing Derek's face away. “Morning Boyd,”
“Morning Ames, brother you have a meeting in like forty minutes,” Boyd said walking into the house before he was ruffling up Liam's hair and kissing Amelia on the cheek. “Hey little guy,”
“Hi,” Liam mumbled, before he quickly buried his head in Amelia's shoulder.
“Derek, we have to go now. I'll make sure he gets to the play on time,” Boyd told her, Amelia smiled at him before she kissed his cheek and gave him a quick hug.
“Go, Cora and I have to get the rest of munchkins ready for school,” Amelia said before pulling Derek to her again and kissing him before kissing the top of Liam's head.
I have a timeline for this story if anyone is interested in it but it will be semi-obvious with how the story progresses. The birthdays are mostly made up to give an idea of how old everyone is.
