Omnipotent [Discontinued]

Chapter 5

[Emeritus's POV]

"Now tell daddy whats wrong?" I said.

I waited for my little one to speak to me when all of a sudden he just burst into tiny fits of giggles before letting himself laugh loudly. What did I say? I sat there confused watching him laugh while clutching his Unicorn to his chest.  

I noticed the way his eyes squinted and tears threatened to fall from his clear baby blues. He used one hand to clutch his tummy and the other to clutch at the unicorn.

Still perplexed by his outburst, I decided to ask him what was he laughing at?

"Child, what are you laughing at?" I asked him amused as I saw Omega try to compose himself. 

"N-not-thing Papa" he replied letting another small fit of giggles slip. "Its just that y-you should n-never ever tell one of us t-to c-call you da-daddy." Omega finished his explanation letting another set of dare I say, contagious giggles.

"But why? I'm confused, isn't that a term you young ones use?" I asked him

Omega finally settled down from his laughing fit and coughed nervously. He lifted his plush toy to his face and murmured something that sounded like "ifs or row lay oh ink". 

"Wait what? now I am more confused" I said. "Please put the flamingo horse down and repeat what you just told me." I instructed him.

"She's not a 'flamingo horse' she's a UNICORN and she has feeling and a name." Omega pouted. 

"I said" he fidgeted nervously "It's a term used for role play or a kink". 

I noticed the pink tinting his cheeks and let out my own chuckle.

"Oh my, well haha", I chuckled again. Then I had a sudden realization. 

"I only thought that it was an acceptable term to use because I...I heard little Earth...he... oh sweet Satan he called Air 'Daddy'!!" I whisper yelled. I could see the amusement in Omegas eyes as my eyes widened to my realization. 

"Well we all figured that Terra and Birdy had a thing, I never took my little bean to be into that type of kink." Omega giggled a little.

We both sat comfortably in silence for a little while and my little ghoul was the first to break the silence. 

"I should head back to my room, you must be tiered. I'll let you rest now." He softly spoke.

"Oh my child I'm quite fine actually. You still haven't told me what's wrong. Why are you up and roaming the halls at such a late hour?" I asked him.

[Omega's POV]

"I had a nightmare." I softly responded. "Well it was more of a flashback of my first mortal life. I guess my guard was left down after telling you about my cage so the memory crept back to haunt my sleep. I-it's the reason I never open up to anyone." I stuttered a little at the end.

I felt Emeritus kneel in front of me and looked up to meet his gaze.

"Oh my child, I'm so sorry for making you speak to me of your past. If I ha-"

I stopped Emi from speaking further. My actions when so unnoticed to myself that I was more scared of the consequences of having physically stopped Emi than for actually silencing him. 

I slowly took my finger back from Emi's lips and began to stammer out my apology. This time Papa stopped me.

"I'll tell you what little one, if and when you have another nightmare or flashback, come talk to me. Sometimes those images come back to haunt our present and future because they have been suppressed for so long. Talking about them might help you ok." He spoke softly laying a hand on my cheek.
