Like if Peter did the nasty with anyone else he would most likely have a human kid. Just a theory We really don't know but i hope we find out and that it's not gonna be another "sometimes the shape you take reflects the person you are". I still really think it's just because one parent was a wolf & the other was a human. Maybe but we don't know for sure. I don't think that's the case though cause i feel Derek's Father wasn't a werewolf even though he hasn't even been mentioned on the show.

That makes perfect sense, so you could be totally right, but I just think that the writers never thought about a back story for Derek's father and the idea of what a half werewolf would be never occured to them pre Season 1. Whereas with Malia they knew that she was Peter's daughter from when they started to write her character. I think a lot depends on whether they intend to have the mother that she killed/grew up with (presumably human) as her biological mother (pre marrying Mr. Tate or from an affair) or whether she will end up being adopted. But based on her saying she has her mother's eyes, I'm guessing that it is her birth mother and that she doesn't know Mr. Tate is not her biological father. Of course all this is just wild speculation on my part LOL.
