Chapter Text
"Mom, what's that girl's name again?" Scott yelled over to Melissa, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Melissa rolled her eyes. "It's Y/n Y/l/n, Scott. And it would do you real good not to forget it again."
Scott grinned and shouted back his agreement to his mom. "Y/n......" He softly rolled the name around on his tongue. it sounded so.... new. And beautiful. he hoped Y/n was fun.
It had been three weeks since Scott had been back, along with Lydia and Allison and Stiles from their respective universities. College life was over, now it was job and stuff. Lydia of course, immediately started doing research in some mathematical stuff. Allison had got into archery, but she kept that as her part time job only, choosing to become an artist instead. And Stiles was with the Police now.
As for Scott, he was working with Deaton.
Melissa knocked on his door, breaking him out of his reverie.
"Hey, Y/n's here. Go pick up her bags and say hi." She told him.
Scott leapt off the bed and almost ran towards the door. Mel laughed, shaking her head. They both were excited for a new member being added to the family, but Scott was making it a little too obvious.
The door opened to a young bright eyed girl, smiling shyly. Hi, she smiled a little brighter as her eyes met Scott. He beamed back at her.
"Welcome home, Y/n! We have been waiting for you! Here, let me get that for you." He grinned, then bent down to pick her bags.
Y/n tucked a hair behind her ear and smiled, thanking Scott softly. Then she turned and gave a little wave to Melissa.
"Hi, Mrs. Mcall. I am so grateful that you let me stay here, I really hope it won't be any trouble".
Mel rolled her eyes again, and then came forward and pulled her into a tight hug. Y/n gasped, then laughed and hugged her back.
"Oh shut up you little thing, firstly, call me Melissa, or Mel like you used to when you were a kid! And secondly, this is your home now, get used to it." Melissa pressed a little kiss to Y/n's forehead, before pulling her into the living room with her, where she made her sit down next to her. Scott was back after dropping off Y/n's luggage. He sat opposite her too.
"So, how was the journey, Y/n?" Mel asked.
"Oh it was absolutely delightful! I saw so many things on the way over! There was this puppy and omg you won't even believe it but it was so cute I-" Y/n blushed and then gave them both a sheepish grin.
"Sorry, I tend to ramble off sometimes..." She laughed softly, tucking her hair back.
Scott laughed along with her, but he couldn't understand why there was a weird feeling in his chest as he heard that sweet laugh and saw those shy eyes. Almost as if... he was having butterflies in his chest! Eh, probably ate too much in the morning, he told himself.
Melissa grinned. "Trust me, I do the same. Tell me about the puppy."
Y/n laughed and launched back into her story about the very cute puppy. They spent the rest of the morning and most of the afternoon talking and laughing, and Melissa eventually told Scott Y/n's background story too. She was the daughter of the doctor who had been killed in an accident, Dr. Hilliard, when by some supernatural force, hundreds of moths had launched onto her car. Scott remembered. That had happened just a few years ago, when another villain had threatened the safety of Beacon Hills.
Y/n looked just a little bit uncomfortable discussing all of this. Scott decided not to press the matter, and changed the topic.
Later on he learned from Mel that Y/n was a single child, and her dad was a stranger Dr. Hilliard had met and had a one-night stand with, but never met again. She had gone to some college to study medicine, but had now transferred here to Beacon Hills and joined clinical work in the hospital. Mel was pretty excited about that part.
As night fell, Y/n smiled while she unpacked her stuff. Scott was a pretty cute, fun guy, it seemed. And Mel? Well, Mel had always been like a second mom to her. She hoped she would have fun with them both.
