Hidden Omega

I woke up and nuzzled into his ċhėst as I listened to his heart beat. A quiet groan came from above me as I shifted in the bed and Jayden pulled me against him. He yawned before burying his face into my hair. "Too early."

I chuckled slightly, "then I'll get up alone."

He kissed my shoulder, "no can do." He growled slightly, "you're my prisoner."

"You're a child."

He kissed my head, "are you feeling better? You passed out really quick last night."

I nodded slightly, "sorry."

He rubbed my back gently, "I'm the one that's sorry. I really messed up and made you suffer."

I sighed, "you were trying to stand up for me."

He sighed, "but I'm glad that's over. Now we don't have to worry about them anymore."

"For now." I mumbled before lifting my head slightly so that we could look directly at each other. I brushed some hair out of his face, "how do you plan to break it to your family? Do they know?"

Jayden's ċhėst rose and fell as he let out a large breath, "well Elijah has been hiding under the radar since he knows what I will do to him. My sister is coming back from Europe soon and wants to meet everyone. But...I still am unsure on what to do about my parents. Unlike Elijah, I am the first born son and am supposed to take over the entire family business someday. I don't want them interfering with our lives or trying to get between us."

I sighed but jumped slightly, "shit, Jay. The kids are going to be late!"

"Cora will take care of it," he insisted as he tried to pull me back into bed when I got up.

I pushed him off of me, "they've never gone to school, not a single day in their lives, without me or Chase with them. I'm not going to stop that now." I walked around the bed to the dresser and put on some jeans. When I turned back around, Jayden was still under the sheets. "So you're staying?"

He yawned, "I'm coming, I'm coming." He got up and quickly dressed as I finished.

I went down to the twin's room and slowly crept in. I heard Jayden quietly standing at the door and realized he had never seen our typical morning ritual. I kissed Ashley on the forehead before doing the same to Archer. "Alright you two," I whispered, "time to get up."

Ashley cuddled into her covers with a whɨnė and groan. Archer stretched his entire body while he yawned.

"School time."

Archer suddenly gained consciousness, made a slight squeak, and dove under his covers. "Monster!" He laughed and I laughed too.

"Oh, you want a monster, huh?" I asked as I quickly began tickling him through the covers as he squealed and laughed. I heard Ashley let out a cheerful shriek as I rushed and tickled her too.

"Get the monster!" Archer called as he and Ashley sprung on top of me. I cackled as they tickled me.

"I surender!" I laughed as they both got off me. I sat up on Ashley's bed with a smile, "time to get dressed, you two. I expect you downstairs, ready to go, in 10 minutes."

"Okay!" They sang as I got up and looked to Jayden. A goofy smile showed as he fought back laughing. I came over to him and he kissed my cheek before taking my hand. We began down the hallway, but stopped as Cora came out of the next bedroom with Addie.

"Morning!" She called before coming over to us. Jayden quickly scooped up Addie and I saw the lovesick look come to his face again.

I snickered as we began downstairs, which he frowned at. "What's so funny?"

I smirked, "I am still getting used to your new self. I'd never imagine you adoring a baby as much as you do."

"I love and adore all of our kids."

"I know. I've seen the way you play with the twins, but you look at Addie like she's an angel."

He wrapped his open arm around my waist and pulled me into him. "I can't help it. They all have your eyes that I love so much." I felt my face get hot as I pushed him off, which he chuckled at. "You're so cute when you're flustered."

I pouted as I went toward the kitchen, "it's warm in here, that's all." I was startled when I came in and saw Emit and Chase making out by the fridge, "hey!" I growled and they both looked to me in surprise, "two feet distance, you two. Hands where I can see 'em."

Chase blushed before he got something out of the fridge and Emit went to sit at the island, "sorry, Uncle."

I walked over and lightly smacked the back of Emit's head, "I love you, Emit. But Chase is my responsibility, so keep it PG."

He sighed, "will do. Sorry."

I ruffled his hair, "there's no rush to get serious you two. Otherwise, Chase's heat will be worse for both of you." I looked to Chase, "is that in three weeks? Do you have enough meds?"

He nodded, "I should be fine."

I frowned, "should be fine isn't good enough, Chase. If you both are going to live here, you need to be certain. I don't want you to mess up your chances for your future. It's a lot harder to start back up after a kid, especially when you have so much potential."

"You worked and had kids."

"I didn't by choice, Chase. And you saw how hard it was. You may have a mate with you for the entire time, but that won't be enough when you both go to college."

"But whenever you do have kids, you will have us to support you so you can continue your career."

Chase glared at Jayden, "still trying to win me over, huh? It's going to take a long time, Jayden. Will and those kids have been my world for a long time."

Jayden nodded, "I know and I'll continue working hard until I win you over."

"Oh, we need to get going or we we'll be late." Emit stated and the two teens rushed to get out the door. As they left the house, the twins came down along with Cora. As I got toast made for the twins, Jayden got a bottle out for Addie and began feeding her. Cora's phone began to ring so she rushed into the living room to answer.

The twins and I glanced to Jayden as he seemed to hold his breath. When Cora came back in, she averted Jayden's gaze.

"So?"

Cora finally looked to him with concerned eyes, "the president is directing you to go on a business trip starting tomorrow morning."

Jayden scowled as he looked to the floor, "for how long?"

"Two weeks."

Jayden looked to my with lingering anger and hesitation, "is this a request or a demand?"

She sighed, "it seems to be a nicely stated demand."

"Did no one inform him that I am on personal leave for another week?!"

Cora looked away, "he said that you don't need that much time to play around."

I looked to Jayden, "don't risk things with your dad and your job, Jay. We can manage."

Jayden stared at me with surprise, "you want me to go?"

I sighed, "of course I don't, but I don't see any way out of it. Refusing to go will cause a lot more problems than the alternative."

Jayden went over to Cora and handed Addie over. He then walked off as the twins looked to me with concern.

"Its okay, he's just frustrated and needs time to think alone." I pulled their lunch boxes out of the fridge.. "Let's get going you two."
