The Omega Project

Untitled Part 18

Thea and Sophie set the table for lunch. placing bread, cold cuts, chips and drinks on the table. It wasn't anything fancy but with no housekeeper Thea wanted to keep things simple. They laughed as Thea told her about all of the fun things she had planned for them to do. She was so happy to be getting to know Sophie, and having Roy and Felicity here as well was making the place feel like a home. They had not had that in a long time.

Hearing footsteps on the stairs, she looked up to see Roy heading down. He was so handsome. Thea gave him a smile as she set out the paper plates.

"How was your room?", she asked as he walked over.

"Amazing, thank you. After spending the last five years in what was basically a glass cage the privacy is much appreciated.", he said, looking her over boldly. Sophie ran over and climbed onto this lap, but he kept sneaking glances at Thea. Roy had come into contact with Omega's over the years, but she was different, and he liked how she looked at him and how she made him feel.

"Please make yourself something to eat. Oliver should be down soon.", she said as she brought napkins from the kitchen and sat across from him curling her hair behind her ear. Roy found himself wanting to do that for her. Thea started to make Sophie a peanut butter sandwich before making one for herself. She looked at Roy uncertainly.

"So you were in there five years like Felicity?", she asked hesitantly.

Roy tickled Sophie and she jumped off his lap and sat next to him.

"Yeah, from what we could figure out we were taken about the same time.", he said, as he made a sandwich and grabbed a bottle of water.

"Oliver said you saved Felicity from an aggressive Alpha.", she said.

"That is how we met. I can't explain it. I just felt drawn to protect her. It wasn't anything sexual. But she and I just have a connection.", he said. They heard someone on the stairs and looked up to see Oliver coming down.

"Where is Felicity?", Thea asked as he sat down and started making a sandwich.

"She was still unpacking. She will be down soon.", he said. He looked at Roy and then smiled at Sophie. "Looks like George is enjoying his sandwich.", he teased.

She grinned and ran over to him. "George loves peanut butter. He shares it with me sometimes.", she said. She gave him a curious look. "Did you come here when you were little Daddy?

Oliver swallowed heavy, the word Daddy still caused his throat to clog with tears.

"Your Aunt Thea and I both did. And you want to know a secret? I think Aunt Thea might be willing to show you the tree house out back once you have eaten your lunch.", he said in a stage whisper. "Do you think George would like that?"

Sophie squealed. "Will you do that Aunt Thea?"

"We can head that way as soon as your are done eating.", she said, smiling at Sophie.

"Um, do you mind if I come with you?", Roy asked.

"What do you think Sophie? Is he allowed to come with us?', she teased, giving him a suspicious look.

"Only if he tells me the story about George once we get there.", Sophie said with her hands on her hips. Roy had made up a story about George after meeting Sophie and she asked for it every time they saw each other.

"I guess I can do that.", he smiled, and gave Sophie a wink.

"Yay!!! Now let's hurry and eat!!", Sophie said, racing to her chair and eating her sandwich in record time.

Felicity came down the stairs to laughter and looked at Oliver, Roy, Sophie and Thea all seated around the table. They looked like a family. Felicity heard her daughter talking about eating quickly and then heard tree house. She laughed as Sophie dragged Thea up from her chair.
