Daddy?" Louis knocked on the door, "is mama asleep?"
His father smiled, "come, Louis."
Louis ran to his father, lifting his arms, "up."
David kissed his forehead before sitting him in his lap, "she is only resting her eyes." He touched his wife's cheek, "just very tired."
"She -doesn't have to go back, right?" Louis worried his lip, whining. "I want mama to stay home, daddy."
"She will not be going back, Lou." David bounced him gently, "she will stay home, with us."
Louis reached out for his mother when she stirred, "mm, mama."
"Minn litla..." Sarah smiled at her child, "come." (My little one)
"Stay home, mama!"
"Sh, Louis," She hushed him softly. "My sweet baby omega." Sarah sat up, "mama only went to the hospital, Lou, not to war."
"But -but, your arm, mama."
"Yes, there was a very aggressive wolf, baby." She smiled, "mama had to be very brave."
Louis crumpled his fingers together, whimpering, "no..."
Sarah smiled, hugging him closer, "we have to be brave -we have to work hard, baby." She tucked his hair behind his small ear, "I gave him a good hit back, don't worry."
Louis looked up at her with big eyes, "hit the wolf, mama? An alpha?"
"Oh yeah," Sarah smirked, looking at her husband, "I do not let anyone push me around, not even an alpha."
David chuckled from the chair, leaning back, "she is right, Louis, and neither will you."
Louis stuck his hand in his mouth, "scary?"
"So scary, baby, but," Sarah shook her head, "if I do not defend myself -who will?"
"Daddy!"
"Of course, Louis, but daddy will not always be there. He was not there tonight." She smiled, kissing her son's nose, "we are omegas and we have to work twice as hard. We must learn how to be independent -not rely on any alpha. We do not need saving. We are strong -powerful." Sarah tickled Louis softly, making him giggle. "We do not get pushed around."
-
"Mom!" Louis ran down the stairs, running into the kitchen. "Mom, I'm leaving now."
"Where to with this rain?"
The omega licked his lips, "out -to a friend's."
Sarah set her rag down, turning to face her son. "Louis."
"Mom, I am an adult."
"Who lives with his mother."
Louis looked away, "he's amazing, mom. He takes care of me -he loves me."
Sarah looked exhausted, having had this talk many times. "Louis, someone who loves you does not act like an absolute child during Christmas dinner." She crossed her arms, "he has an ego the size of his home."
