I'm dead without you (omegaverse)

A tale of an eventful week - Wednesday

Wednesday

When Caoimhe woke up Wednesday morning, she felt quite strange. It was as if she was getting sick. Was it the beginning of a cold? Or would she soon have her period again? Caoimhe's head hurt, and she felt a little warm. But she ignored it, put on her school uniform, took her bag, and went to the kitchen. Her body felt heavy, and she was a little dizzy. Not enough to feel like she would faint, but it was enough for her to walk slower than usual.

As the girl approached the kitchen, she heard her father having a serious discussion with someone. She went straight in and saw Dorian talking on the phone. He turned around when he noticed her presence and smiled at her.

"It won't take long," he whispered before turning around again, and Caoimhe opened the refrigerator and took out some milk.

While preparing her breakfast, she listened to her father tell the person he was talking to that they needed at least two security guards to accompany the children to school. Caoimhe would have listened more carefully if it weren't for the pain in her head.

Ever since Shiro received the letter from his stalker, everyone in the house was on guard. Sadly, the fear took away most of the excitement they had all felt over the pregnancy, but it wasn't strange that it did. It had only been a few days since Shiro had been assaulted, and the letter scared everyone. Caoimhe felt sorry for Shiro and Dad. They had been so happy when they told everyone about the triplets the day before. Ikumi had started crying when they told her, overjoyed that she would have her own siblings. Eamon and Caoimhe pretended not to know about the pregnancy and congratulated them. And as soon as she had the opportunity, Caoimhe had asked her dadaí if he was okay with it. Finian had hugged her and said he was really happy, which was a relief for Caoimhe. Because she was happy as well, she would soon have four younger siblings.

Caoimhe really liked kids, and she wanted a big family herself, with some good guy, preferably a beta, so she didn't have to think about someone else's heat or the possibility that they would find their own faited pair. Caoimhe knew there was a risk she would meet her mate, but it would never happen. She would make sure of that even if it meant avoiding every omega for the rest of her life, except for the ones in her family.

"Have you slept okay?"

Caoimhe flinched as her father approached her and tenderly kissed the top of her red hair. He had ended the call and took the milk carton out of her hand. He ate the same breakfast she did, milk and chocolate flakes. They both loved sweet things.

"Yeah," she replied, which was a lie.

She had barely slept at all. First, she had trouble falling asleep. A thousand thoughts were running through her head, keeping her awake, and secondly, she woke up several times from a nightmare she couldn't remember. But her heart had been pounding, and she was drenched in sweat.

"That's good," Dorian said, sitting down at the kitchen table.

Caoimhe sat on the other side and started eating.

"Two bodyguards will accompany you, Eamon and Ikumi, to school today. They won't come inside, but they will be in the car in the parking lot. If something happens, call them at once and talk to a teacher. Alright?"

Caoimhe nodded, but then she frowned.

"What do you think the stalker could do? Because he hasn't been violent before, has he?"

"Sorry, Luv. But I can't talk to you about this. You're still just a child."

"I think I have a right to know. It's about my family and me."

Dorian and Caoimhe looked at each other, and Dorian flinched. There was something strange about Caoimhe's eyes. There was a strength in her that Eamon hadn't seen before, and Dorian nodded. The girl was right. It was her family, and for Caoimhe, her family was everything.
