WHO: Malia Tate and OPEN
WHAT: She's huge and pregnant and thinky
WHEN: June 3rd, evening
WHERE: By the waterfall
WARNINGS: None to think of
STATUS: Complete

When Malia had first arrived here, things had seemed pretty great. Everyone was here and she felt like good about her future helping create this new and exciting place. But she quickly learned that Paradiso wasn't always so beautiful beneath the surface as it appeared. Things had been...hard. She'd even considered leaving. And while that was no longer on the table for her, things still weren't perfect. She missed her relationship with Stiles desperately.

Back home, he was pretty much everything to her. She loved him deeply and completely. He was her best friend, her lover, her mate. And here, he had no idea about any of it. He didn't remember anything about them past Eichen House, and she felt like so much of her life had been just ripped away because of that.

She wanted to be excited about the fact she was feeling the babies move, but instead, she just felt sad. How else could a girl feel when she was carrying the babies of two men she loved, but who didn't love her in return?

She was naked right now, sitting in the cool water of the waterfall, her hand on her stomach. She was in her third trimester now, and and she was starting to look like she was going to pop any moment - especially with her carrying both of the babies.

"Oh so Scott is sort of the leader?" he could see that Scott wasn't much older than her so he was curious how that was decided. Huh. This sounded like it's own complex society within the new society they were building here.

"Ah, so there's different levels of changes and now you can control that part but don't want to go all the way in case something happened like it did when you were like that for years?" Charles was utterly fascinated by this whole discussion, listening to her raptly.

"Yeah, he's an Alpha," she said, as though that should be the most obvious thing ever. "Like with wolves?" Because they were wolves after all. At least partially.

"Well, just two. We can change all the way or we can change partly. And most of us can't change all the way."

She shrugged, looking away. "You should ask Scott. Or Stiles. Stiles is human but he knows more than any of us about...well, everything."

"Ah. Like wolves." Charles hadn't studied much about wolves beyond some discussion of them in genetics courses about genetic branching of families. So he didn't have in depth behavioral knowledge but they were packs and families and all families had heads.

"So you're special for being able to change all the way?" He wondered if it was like a mutation where he could affect it with his power or help her train to use it effectively? Or if it was something that when she was in that form he was unable to access her mind at all? It'd be intriguing to see. Since there were so many more wolves about apparently it'd be interesting.

"Will your babies be the same as a regular human's or is there special characteristics?"

"I guess. Derek, he's my cousin, can change all the way too. So could his mom. Maybe it's a family thing." She really didn't know all the details. She hadn't been in a form where she could talk and ask questions for very long at all.

"Well, the one that's Stiles and Lydia's is just going to be human," she shrugged. "But mine and Isaac's...well, he was a werewolf too, so it will probably be something." She hoped so, anyway. She'd rather have a baby with super quick healing. Who wouldn't, really?

"Is there someone here who knows the most about your kind? I am a geneticist by training and apparently I may be doing some work with the children of people on the island so if I could get a comprehensive amount of knowledge about each 'type' of person that'd be extremely helpful. We may find that certain people shouldn't reproduce together due to potential birth defects or the like." And be able to see who was producing different types of people, that too was a thing.

Super quick healing sounded grand, damn if Charles wasn't jealous of that one. "Ah, so even more miraculous that Arva could give you an entirely human baby to carry with your werechild."

	Malia thought about that question for a long moment. "Yeah..." she said slowly. "Probably Derek. He knows a lot about us. He grew up in a family of werewolves, and he was born too. So I'd ask him. He could tell you a lot of things. Derek Hale's his name." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Charles smiled at her. "Thank you Malia, that's very helpful. I'll try to find this Derek Hale and have a word with him about your kind. You've been so kind to indulge all of my questions, I really appreciate it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kind wasn't something that Malia was used to being called, but she attempted a little smile. That's what kind people did, right? "Okay. I'm sorry if I was mean or confusing or anything. I'm better, but I'm still not very good at being human yet." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Her words touched Charles' heart and made him ache for this poor girl. "No, you were very kind and clear spoken. I didn't find you mean or confusing. You are very human, don't let others take that from you. Sometimes they like to criticize the things they see in others that they hate about themselves." He shook his head.

"You were very sad when I first arrived, is there anything you'd like to have someone listen to you talk about?"

Those words got the first real smile out of Malia that she'd made all evening.

"I don't know how human I am...or how human I want to be," she clarified. "But thanks. I try. I really do."

She sighed, thinking over all of the things that had happened. Meeting Isaac. Getting pregnant with Isaac's baby. Isaac falling in love with Lydia instead of her. Getting her heart broken. Stiles refusing to sleep with her. Stiles not remembering everything they had. The fact that nobody really loved her...that everyone had someone else they'd rather be with.

She sighed, shrugging a little.

"Just...stuff, you know?"

"You have such a lovely smile, Malia, I hope you can find things to smile over in the future." Charles told her, with a smile to her in return. It wasn't a line, she really did have a pretty smile, especially with the glow from her pregnancy. "You're succeeding. Don't let others tell you otherwise." He could see in her mind how hard she was trying and how defeated she felt. Feeling rejected and unloved, Charles knew all about that bitterness. It was very hard to try after that. It read in her mind like she'd had a very hard go of it here. She was tough to stick it out and not go home herself.

"Yeah. I had some rough stuff at home too, before coming here. That's sort of how I ended up here." He offered her a shrug. "I think maybe a lot of people are here because of some stuff going on in their lives." The bits he'd picked up so far seemed to indicate that most people didn't have overly unencumbered happy minds so far.

	"I don't think anybody really has an easy life," she said carefully. Trying to be empathetic was tiring, and something she didn't have a lot of experience with. "I think we just...do the best we can. And some people deal with it better than others do." She shrugged. "Maybe things will work out. Maybe they won't. I'll survive either way, I guess."

"That's a good way to look at it. You strike me as a rather strong person. Are you going to raise your babies or give them to Arva?" Charles asked it as sensitively as he could but he was curious. He'd talk to her about it all differently based on the answer. She was obviously trying hard here, and it hurt him to think that people had been so cruel to her that she didn't feel herself to be succeeding as much as she was.

"I'm...going to give them to Arva," she said, although there was no missing the moment of hesitation. When Isaac had still been here, she'd hoped to convince him to keep theirs, although she'd never gotten very far on that because of the things that Isaac had been through in his life.

"It'll be better that way," she said, assuring herself as well as him. "I'm not in any place to be a mother, you know?"

	He read how she was conflicted about her choice. Poor girl. "Well, on an island where building a new society is part of the mandate I think that helping a teen mom keep a baby that she wants should be part of that society's undertaking. You don't have to decide now. You could keep your baby if you wanted to. What do you feel like is stopping you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It was true. She didn't have to decide now. She'd think about it...although she was pretty sure that she was still going to just give it to Arva because she didn't want to make things even stranger with Stiles.

"I...I don't want to make things even stranger than Stiles."

Sighing, she got out of the water, slowly putting her clothes back on, making sure that she got everything stretched over her belly.

"I should get back," she said softly. She was tired. She needed a nap. She was going to be glad when the babies were out of her and walking a few feet didn't wear her out.

"Ah. Well it was very lovely meeting you Malia. If you ever want to chat again, feel free to find me. I'd love to chat to you again." He smiled at her, hoping he'd left a good impression on her. She seemed so alone, he ached to help her with that. Not in any sort of carnal way, but as a mentor, a friend. She reminded him so much of his students, it made him want to help. Perhaps that was another way he could help here, especially if so many people had various abilities and powers. He could help coach and guide them.
