Beth giggled and reached for her dolly to wash her hair like Daddy was washing hers. She liked the sweet smelling soap he used. "Berry," she laughed as the scent tickled her sensitive nose. She splashed the water and dunked her dolly's head under the water to wash her. "Oh no!" she said, her little eyes opening wide as she looked down at her Dolly under the water. "I save!" she pulled her up and held her dolly close to her. "She ‘k," Elizabeth looked around and then at her dad. "Sparkle soap?" she asked, not seeing it anywhere. She liked the way it left little shiny sparkles on her skin after using it.

Derek ignored the thought of Stiles getting ready downstairs, of how he had muttered ‘love you’ in his sleep. How he had been flirting at breakfast. Because it was a bad idea. Derek wouldn't be good for him, the human would get hurt. He had his life nicely set up, made it to detective in San Francisco, and he didn't need the complications of a werewolf alpha with his hybrid daughter. A werewolf whom had just gotten out of a relationship and should know better. Stomping down on his feelings, he focused on washing the sticky hair of Beth while she was busy with her doll.

"Of course, cub, I'll add the sparkle soap." The smile he gave her was probably more of a toothpaste ad but he did add the soap because she asked him to. Glitter looked cute on her, and it really did make the skin all shiny as the bottle said, which was less cute when you were a six foot muscular werewolf. One who also smelled like strawberries because all the pink soap and shampoo had that scent, or raspberry but that usually was way too chemically scented to be nice for sensitive noses. "Look at that, magic water."

With the shower head he washed his own hair, to avoid getting sparkles in there too while she played rescuing her doll a little longer, splashing around enough to get clean everywhere. After that came the adventure of drying off a wriggling body, putting a clean diaper on her while he ushered her to her own room. "Daddy will be right there."

It was the usual for him, his morning routine was not as long as some might think. He'd put some product in his hair, use unscented deodorant, brush his teeth, get dressed. Every other day he'd use an electrical razor on the thick stubble and that was it. Derek didn't even use a mirror for it. Donned in the usual jeans with henley, he made sure Beth was dressed too, letting her pick between two choices only. Otherwise she'd be dressed like it was Halloween every day.

"Stiles is going to stay for a bit, so we're going to be friends with him, right? He'll want to spend some time with grandpa but grandpa will still love you a lot even when he's busy."

She loved being sparkly and smelling like berries. She didn't like being dried with the towels though and tried to slip out of Daddy's grasp, giggling and growling as she struggled. Once she was in her room all cleaned, dressed, and diapered, she looked up at him, "Sty friend," she said and smiled remembering how funny Sty was at breakfast. "No bite Sty," she added.

"No bite Stiles," Derek repeated with a nod, packing up the diaper bag. As any good parent, he made sure he had enough diapers in there and a change of clothes for her. At least she didn't need bottles anymore. The diaper bag was a simple canvas messenger bag, because Derek wasn't going to be walking around with pink or anything brightly colored. Nope. This worked way better. Her stroller was in his car, folded up so they were all set, it was too warm for a coat for her. "Okay, we're all done. You go run to Stiles and see if he's ready."

Derek quickly made her bed and his own without Elizabeth crawling in like a cat and undoing it all again. Having an extra person here was actually nice. It gave him the little bit of extra time he needed to do things for himself. Like eat and personal hygiene. Though he was sure Stiles wasn't interested in spending all of his two weeks with them, he had friends to catch up with as well.
