The Omegas Call

Thirty-four

The two eldest children slump onto their beds after dropping their bags, staring at each other. Max smirks tiredly while James maintains a stoic expression.

"Home sweet home." Max mumbles and lays down after kicking his boots off. James grunts, doing the same. From there, it's silence.

The only thing to break it is the sounds of slippers scrapping the floor, and both alphas look to see a beaming Andrew holding a stuffed bear.

"Where did you get the slippers and teddy, Bambi?" Max coos and sits up. The omega happily drags his feet over to the alpha, not missing the simmering look on Jamie's face.

"Mommies got them for me." He looks down at the Gucci slippers. "They said they missed their little pup a lot, and were worried."

"That's cute." Max kisses his cheek. "Isn't it, J?"

"You do look adorable, baby." James admits, and it causes the omega to blush.

"I came in here for a reason." Andy declares and sits on the bed. His posture was formal, and demanding; cute for a petite omega. "You two being it."

"Well, it is our room." Max jokes. "I would assume we were."

"No, I didn't come here for us," Andy motions between the three, "I came here for you two. As in, your relationship."

"What?" James raises an eyebrow.

"That's right: you two need time together. Without me." The omega nods. "I'm not the only focus here, and I think me being the star of all the attention has put a strain on you both when it comes to interacting with each other."

The omega pushes his glasses up. "So, I have come up with the perfect idea."

"Yeah?" James sits up. "What's that?"

"You two are going to have a set time for each other." Both alphas give shocked expressions before looking at each other. "Momma gave me the idea. You two need to spend time talking and getting to know each other again."

"I already know him, baby." James says.

"As a brother, not as your mate." Andy soon loses his confidence when neither of his lovers seem interested. A heavy silence is in the room, and the omega felt somewhat insulted. "Y-You don't have to do it. I-I just thought it could heal whatever wounds were made in this process..."

"Bambi-"

"Just forget it." Andy stands. "This- I was stupid to think I could help. I'm sorry."

He rushes out the room. Max and James look at each other.

"Don't look at me like that," James says when Max gives him a smirks. "Maximus."

"James."

Dinner goes smoothly. Everyone was either focused on Sage, since she had the worse flu, or Lily for helping.

Andy still hasn't told anyone about the papers he found, and he figured he should really soon. It will only be a matter of time before Lily finds them missing, and she'll know it was him. The alphas would've been too ill to even get up, and Sophia is always up her ass- if he's being frank, that is.

If he waits any longer, he should find a spot to hide them. Lily would be going home tonight, alone, and that meant she would notice sooner rather than later. He had to cover himself for now.

So, when dinner plates are collected, Andy sneaks his way into his bedroom. He closes and locks his door, going to his still packed bag. He carefully pulls out the papers and looks around.
