Oh god you guys. This is it. The epilogue. After this the story is finished, and I am crying right now. Mostly because this is the first story that I've ever started and actually completed on the site. Other then that I loved writing it, and I loved all the reviews you gave me, even the sassy anonymous ones.

So here I give you, the epilogue to Why Can't I Breathe?

Epilogue (4 years later)

"Daddy! Daddy! Wake up sleepyhead!" Eva's dark brown hair was flowing everywhere as she shook Derek until he woke up. Looking down at her he said groggily,

"What is it baby girl?" She smiled toothily and whispered,

"Me and Ruby wanna make Papa breakfast. C'mon!" He sighed and allowed his four and a half year old to pull him out of bed and into the kitchen of their house.

The family decided to move when they were having Ruby. Derek's old apartment was nice, but it wasn't big enough for two toddlers. Ruby was sitting in her chair, coloring happily, when they walked in. Biologically she was Stiles' daughter, but Derek loved her just as much as Eva.

She had dark hair and honey eyes, and was the spitting image of Stiles. Looking up she smiled at him and held her arms out saying,

"Up Daddy! Up!" He smiled and indulged her, picking her up and kissing her temple before saying,

"How is my beautiful girl today? Ready to make Papa's birthday breakfast?" They both nodded and the trio got to work making pancakes and eggs with fruit for Stiles.

After the food was all cooked Derek placed it all on a tray and said to the girls,

"Go on and wake up Papa!" The two girls ran into Derek and Stiles' room, jumping up and down on the bed and crawling all over Stiles until he blearily opened his eyes. After he figured it out he smiled broadly saying,

"Wow! Did you guys do this all for me?" Eva nodded and said proudly,

"I cut the strawberries!" Ruby pouted as she countered,

"Well I put the chocolate chips in the pancakes!" Stiles kissed both their foreheads and said soothingly,

"Well it all looks great." He ate a bite of fruit and eggs saying,

"These are really good! Thank you girls." Derek smiled at his husband and went to sit on the bed next to him. Stiles looked over at him and laced their fingers together before saying,

"I don't suppose you had anything to do with this?" Derek rolled his eyes and said sarcastically,

"No, I let the two and four year old handle the stove and knives alone." Stiles scowled playfully and said,

"Hey, it's my birthday. I don't need to deal with this sass." Derek rolled his eyes again before leaning closer and saying huskily,

" Trust me, you're not going to be saying that tonight." Stiles frowned and smacked Derek lightly saying,

"Derek! Now I'll be thinking about that all day." Derek made a playful face and said,

"Well that's a good thing, because I have it on good authority that you won't be thinking about anything but me all night." Stiles whined before leaning forward and saying quietly,

"Not in front of the children, Derek!" Derek rolled his eyes and pulled Stiles closer to kiss him until Eva cried,

"Ewww! Kisses are yucky! Boys have cooties, and now you have double cooties!" The two men smiled at each other before Stiles pulled Eva onto his lap saying softly,

"Eva, kissing someone means that you care about the very much. And I love your Daddy more than I've ever loved anyone." Derek nodded and leaved in to kiss Stiles again before saying quietly,

"I love you very much too Stiles."

WAHWAHWAHWAH. I am crying the most author tears I have ever cried. I hope you all liked reading this story as much as I loved writing it.

Also, I'll be writing some cutsie one-shots every now and then as either a continuation or prequel to the epilogue. Since this story is finished they won't be a main priority, but I'll get them up every now and again. I promise.

Love you all!
