The Alpha-Omega ~ Sequel

-5-

Mikey:

"Jaron's been around Kile a lot lately." I say more to myself than to Takemitchy.

"He just got back from the sleepover yesterday and today he's with him again..." Takemitchy gently squeezes my hand, which he holds as we walk through the park and says "It's good that he's spending time with friends. Ivana is more busy with reading, learning and experimenting. She's a lot like Izana."

I sigh. "Of course, that's good... how would you react if it turned out that Kile and Jaron are together?"

"Ewww then I would have to spend more time with four-eye..."

"Not only that, but then four-eye would be in our family. But I personally wouldn't find it so bad... Hinata is a good mother and Kile is also a good boy." This time Takemitchy sighs.

"The problem is that Jaron is longing for a soulmate. After he found out that you and I were soulmates, he has always asked how it's like and if it's really as beautiful as it is in the books... I mean, soulmates have always existed, just as an Alpha and Omega thing.... Jaron is the first one to be both. To even find a partner for him is hard enough. And Kile is a beta, how can he be a soulmate?"

He's already right... how can that be? Jaron, a boy with high hopes and the desire to have a soulmate. And Kile, a boy who would be a perfect partner for Jaron, is a Beta. Of course there are also Beta and Omega/Alpha relationships... but not as soulmates.

But Jaron is already special. It was always seen as impossible, that you can be a mix. So, who says it's also impossible to be soulmates with a Beta? Jaron has proven that there are also other things than just the standard and tradition.

We stopped at a bank and I take my pack of cigarettes to take out a cigarette and smoke. It's been over a month since our anniversary and it still feels like the first day I fell in love with this person...

Takemitchy and I talk about the past, how we felt when we saw each other and so on. "Yuzuha was such a bitch back then.... But she has improved. I think she's going to be a good mother." Takemitchy laughs.

"You are still better~" I say and kiss him. He laughs softly again.

"Well... You've grown up a lot."

I look around and see a young police officer and an older man in a suit.

"Yeah, I'm talking to you Mikey."

"I think I need some fucking glasses and new pills Takemitchy..." I say and take a closer look at the old man. It can't be, I'm hallucinating from the lack of sleep. It can't be him, he left me alone many years ago.

"Doesn't your grandpa even get a hug anymore?"

"Takemitchy hit me."

"Why?" Takemitchy asks confused and is now looking in the direction where the old man is standing.

"Before you say anything, Mikey.... I know I have been gone for a long time. You can feel free to hate me for it. But I got better after being in prison, I joined the police and now I work as a Lieutenant. I can now lead a halfway normal life. Oh, and this is my partner Naoto."

"I-I thought you were dead...why....why didn't you contact me! I didn't have anyone left! Not even... Shinichiro..." Mikey says.

"When I got out of jail, I was afraid... to see you again, I've done and shown you so many bad things to you and.... I just couldn't... The mass murders you caused... because of me. That I ran away and was in prison and... much more. You can hit me if you want."

I stand up and walk to him. I clench my hand into a fist, swing out and punch him in the stomach. He starts coughing.

"Now we're even. Would you like some coffee?" I ask him.

"Is that an invitation to your home?" he laughs and coughs slightly. "Maybe, just come along old man."

"Lieutenant, I'm going to head back to the station then. I'll report back if I find out anything." Naoto says.

"All right," Grandpa says.

What are they talking about? I take Takemitchy's hand and we go back home.

"And well, I have managed, with a few difficulties, to become a Lieutenant. And you Mikey? What do you work as? And most importantly... who is he?" Grandpa points to Takemitchy.

"I became a teacher and this handsome man is Takemitchy, my husband." I say and kiss Takemitchy.

"That's nice to hear..."

"Dad?! Papa?! I'm home!"

"We're in the kitchen!" calls Takemitchy back and Jaron walks in. "Hello," he says shyly when he sees my grandpa.

"Jaron, this is my grandpa.... Grandpa, my son Jaron." i introduce.

"Son?" grandpa asks in surprise and I nod.

"Your mother would be so proud of you...you're married to someone you love, have a good job and a son. Look at you... you've become a good man. She only wanted the best for you..."

Short silence.

"Come on Jaron, I think they need time alone." said Takemitchy sweetly as always and walks out of the kitchen with Jaron.

"Would you like a smoke?" i ask and walk towards the balcony. He just follows me and takes out his cigarette box of his own.

On the balcony we light our cigarette at the same time, inhaling the smoke and let it out again.

"Why did you leave me alone, abandoned me?" I ask and look at the sunset. Sunsets are always something beautiful... I used to watch them back then, after another murder. All the people I killed were criminals like us or also orders from mafia bosses... I just killed them in my mode without thinking who they were. I regret it, but I can't set back in time to make it right. I can only do everything I can to make sure that Jaron never slips into this kind of life... and ruin his life that way.

"I was never meant to be a father." I had to laugh at that answer.

"Not meant to be a father for anyone." I never thought then that anyone would fall in love with me, and certainly I never thought I would have a child or be happy at all. But it happened.

I have Takemitchy, I have Jaron and I am happy. I don't know what I did to deserve these things. But I have these things and I am happy.

Grandpa looks at me confused. I smile slightly. "Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?" he asks me.

"Thank you for having been there, even when you were away. I thank you because I am the way I am now. If those things had never happened, I would have never become the way I am now. I probably wouldn't have these things, this happiness that I have today. I am happy because I have my husband and my son. But I have one question..."

Grandpa nods as a sign that I should ask my question.

"Could you, for Jaron, be the grandfather that he never had? He has no grandparents, since Takemitchy's parents died and my mother... also can't be there as one would imagine it to be. I'm already teaching him how to play agape, but it's not the same as when you have your... Grandma with him. So, could you at least do that?"

It's weird to be able to call my mom a grandma now. Even though she hasn't been around for a long time... I hope that no matter where she is, she's protecting Jaron. I don't want her to protect me, but Jaron.

Grandpa looks at me with consecrated eyes and... suddenly hugs me. I return the hug, even if it was rather hesitantly.

"It's the least I can do." I can't help but smile again. Now I can finally have the family I've wanted.

My husband, my son and now my grandpa too. It couldn't be more beautiful.... Jaron finally has a great-grandpa who is there for him.

"Uhm dad? Something's wrong with papa..."
