Chapter Text
Lydia's POV:
6 Years. Had it really only been six years since the last time she was in Beacon Hills? It seems like a whole different lifetime. Even though it seemed like forever, Lydia could still remember everything. Everything shes tried so hard to forget. "Deep Breaths Lydia" she chanted to herself. It may have been six years, but she still cant deal with some of those memories. "Okay im ready, lets go." She said to Emma. "Our planes boarding. Here we come Beacon Hills." She grabbed her daughters hand and proceeded to board the plane. Once she got Emma buckled in , she took a moment to absorb what was really about to happen.
~Yesterday Morning~
Lydia was just getting out of the shower when she heard her phone ringing, she yelled for Emma to get it for her. When Emma came into the room she was in tears. "Whats wrong sweety? Whos on the phone?" Emma gulped "S-Someone you k-know is on t-there way to h-heaven" she stuttered out, lip trembling. Lydia quickly grabbed the phone from her and pressed it to her ear.
"Who is this?"
"Lydia? , Lydia? Is that really you?"
"Allison?"
"Lydia! It is you! Oh My God!"
"Yeah, Ali its me. H-How are you?"
"Oh, um im good. Who was that who picked up the phone?"
"Oh umm uhh" Lydia couldn't get out the words, all of the sudden her throat felt like the Sahara Desert.
"Never mind that. Lydia, you, you have to come back. Deaton. Deatons dead."
"Oh my god. Yeah okay, okay ill get the next plane out."
"Call me when you land and ill come get you."
"O-Okay, sure. Call you when I land."
"Okay, Oh and Lydie, I really missed you."
"Yeah you to Ali."
With that Lydia hung up the phone and turned back to her daughter. "Em, pack your things, were going on a trip."

On the plane Lydias nerves really started to set in. As excited as she was to be finally seeing her best friend after so many years. She also knew that there were major consequences for coming back. She knew as soon as anyone laid eyes on her beautiful daughter, that they would immediately know who the father was. And even though she was terrified as to what that might mean for her future. She knew that these people had been her family at one time, and family is always there for one another.
When the plane finally landed at LAX , she woke Emma up and began to call Allison. Her and Emma got their things and headed to sit and wait for Allison. They hadn't been sitting for long when Lydia heard her name being squealed, and saw someone running towards her. Lydia barely had enough time to open her arms before Allison came crashing into her, sobbing. Lydia started smoothing her hair, while softly crying too. She didn't realize just how much she missed her friend. They were still in an embrace when Lydia felt something tugging at her sleeve. She let go of Allison to see what Emma wanted. Thats when Allison gasped so loudly , Lydia could've sworn that the planes above them could hear. Lydia's eyes widened as both Allison and Emma stuttered "Who's that" looking at one another. Lydia stood shocked, unable to answerer. When her confident and bright daughter spoke up.
"Hi! My names Emma, nice to meet you." Emma was already a much better person than Lydia had been at that age. Lydia was so proud at how courteous her daughter was.
"My name is Allison, I was your moms best friend many years ago." Allison said , intently looking at Emma, as if she held all the answers to life.
"Yeah! My mommy told me about you!" Emma exclaimed. Yep, Lydia thought, now im in big trouble.
"Did she now? And Miss Emma , may i ask how old you are?" Lydia was now standing behind the two. Watching the event unfold like a sitcom of her life.
"I'm 5! But ill be 6 in ten months!" Emma held up six fingers to emphasize what a big number that is.
"Well that's fantastic! Now if you'd like i could take you and your mom to go get some ice cream and relax. Unless you're to tired from the plane ride?" Allison asked, looking up at Lydia . Signaling that they really need to talk. And that she better say yes to this ice cream thing.
"Please Please Please mom!"
"Okay,Okay. Grab your bag Em. Lets go."

The car ride to the Ice Cream Parlor was suprisingly quiet. But as soon as they got in the shoppe, Allison handed some quaters to Emma and told her that she could go play some of the arcade games. Once Emma was out of earshot, Allison turned to Lydia with a serious face.
"Okay, Lydia what the hell is going on?"
"Umm, well you see, uhh when i left, i didnt know i was pregnant . But since i was already gone, you know i thought , okay great at least theres something else i dont have to explain."
Allison looked at her in disbelif. "Why didnt you tell me you two were togeather?"
"What? Me and Who togeather?" Lydia was going to try to play it off, maybe Ali wouldnt notice.
"Lydie, you have got to be joking. You know she looks like the perfect mixture of both of you. But how did this happen? He never even told Scott, or i would have known."
"Well he probably didnt tell Scott because he was ashamed of it. But umm it happened like it usually happens. Boy meets girl. Girl thinks boys cute...."
"Yeah, Yeah, i get it. But i mean how could he not even care about somthing as precious as that litte girl?"
"Well probably becasue i never told him.." Lydia was now biting her lip so hard she was sure, she was going to draw blood.
Allison opened her eyes impossibly wide "You never told Stiles he's a father?"
