The Bad Batch - Mini Stories

The Birds and The Bees

While her mother was out, Omega decided to see if she could get an answer out of her dads. Ever since she had been born she found she had four dad's and one mother but she always wondered where she came from. Her papa told her a stork had dropped her off and her mother had claimed her but she didn't believe that because one of her friends from school had mentioned her parents had sex and she came from her mother's tummy. It only confused her even more and when she asked her teacher, the older man froze up and told her to ask her parents. Knowing she was only seven, she was determined to find out. She thought it would be easier to ask her dad's first with her mother being sick lately. 

"Dad?" 

"Yes Omega" Tech looked up from where he was on his work laptop. 

"What's sex?" Omega asked, fiddling with her hands. Tech naturally froze, he stopped clicking away as he tried to find his words again. 

"Babe, are you alright?" Echo clicked his fingers in front of the engineer who snapped out of his thoughts. Omega was still standing there with her innocent smile. 

"I'm fine, but Omega has a question for you" Tech muttered, kissing Echo's hand before turning back to his work. His blush didn't go unnoticed by Echo who only shrugged turning to Omega. 

"What was the question?" 

"What is sex?" 

Echo was sure his brain started to travel at a hundred miles per hour. He actually shrugged and said, "I don't know, why don't you ask your father or papa"

"Okay daddy" Omega then ran off in search of her other dad's.

"I wonder what brought that question on" Echo wondered, taking a seat beside Tech, "Where's Cross?" He asked. Tech could only smile, "Said he had a message to pop on with his brother" Tech's answer was nothing but blunt. Echo nodded knowing farewell that Crosshair would only pop a message with Hound or Cody. He hoped it was something good and not bad.

"Papa?" Omega called out entering the gym, she wasn't allowed in it alone but she spotted her papa on one of the machines.

"Overhear kid" Wrecker called out putting the weights down and turning his music down. Omega ran for him only to be lifted into the air, leaving a squeal of laughter in the gym. Once placed back on her feet, Omega turned to her papa. 

"What can I do for you kid?" Wrecker asked, knowing that thoughtful look anywhere. 

"Dad and Daddy, won't answer my important question" Omega whined, Wrecker looked confused, normally Tech and Echo would answer any question without hesitation.

"Tell me it and I will try my best to answer it for you" Wrecker said with a smile. Inwardly he was dreading to know what the question was as if his two very intelligent lovers didn't want to answer it, how was he going to. 

Omega could only smile, "What's sex?". Wrecker actually went numb, oh no, he was not expecting that. Where was Cross or Hunter when you needed them. 

"I, uh…I… have you asked your father yet or mother" Wrecker stuttered out, Omega shook her head. "Well, that's the type of question, only those two can answer" he gasped out. Omega nodded with a sad smile as she left the room in search of her father. 

Her thoughts were rattled why wasn't anyone answering her question, she inwardly cried. She wanted her mother. 

"Megs, what's the matter?"

Hearing her father's tone, she looked up only to meet the eyes of polished silver ones. She just accepted his hug and pressed to hear his heartbeat.
