Fear

After reconnecting with my siblings, we then rebuilt our sibling's bond by meeting each other once every month, we also came to help one another when one is in need of one, but for the best part for me is how they love our twins and I must say that they really are fond of them since whenever we will meet, they don't forget to give them gifts.

Time passed by and three years already pass and our twins are now in daycare. It was also the same time when Toru enrolled me in a college specializing in culinary arts so I am really kinda occupied with everything.

Then after four more years, I then graduated from the university and is now establishing my own connections on culinary industry while I help on our business which is continuously growing and is now about to have our fifth store in the place where I and Toru was born.

Reuniting with our few colleagues, relatives and friends, we all just can't help, but to reminisce our lives before my parents were around and with that, we are even more than thankful that we could enjoy this kind of life.

"You're so handsome when you smile like that, babe." Toru whispers into my ear, his hands carefully tracing the curve of my waist.

Chuckling, I playfully swatted his hand away as I whispered back. "Behave. Our kids are around."

Pouting, he then just give me a kiss on my cheek and replied. "Just you wait until we're home."

"Is that a warning, my dear husband?" I playfully asked him as I look at him by my shoulders.

Biting his lips, he nods and said. "I just love how sassy you are right now and it makes me wanna take you right in this instant."

Chuckling, I patted his back. "I'm all yours when we got home." I replied.

Getting what I meant, he nodded and we just get on with the event. After that, Mom and Dad then offered us to stay in the mansion, but knowing what we're will be doing back home, we choose to let them take our kids while we book a suite for us.

Arriving at the hotel, we didn't wasted any time and just get on with it just like the sex-crazed people we are. We just missed each other that much and we can't get to do it back in our house since our kids might see us.

"Hey babe, what do you say about having another baby?" He asks.

I shrugged as I replied. "I do love having one again but maybe not yet this time. We're just to busy about things right now and I don't think I can move this freely if we happen to have it, babe."

He then pouted like a kid, saying. "Alright."

Caressing his face I look into his eyes and said. "But I don't mind if we happen to make another some time soon."

Back to his usual self, the bastard just went on it again and again, but I really can't complain about it since I know that he was just being honest with what he is feeling.

Luckily, he wasn't in rut that time so by the time of our check-out we were able to go back to his parents place to pick up our kids and went back to our house.

But time passed again and another three years happened, and yes, without me getting pregnant with our supposed fourth child, since we count our first baby still.

Busy enough to get idle times, I and Toru make sure to take out our kids when we are free and one of their favorite places to visit is their grandparents house. So one day, their Dad and I went to a drive there so we can spend a long weekend with them, but the moment we got there, we were welcomed by the angry old man.

"Dad?! What happened?" Toru asks in confusion as he sheltered me and our kids.

"Of all the times you will guys be here, why now when Ari's parents are gonna be released!" It replied in tension.

"I-I'm sorry, Dad. I-it was my idea to surprise you guys so we brought the kids with us." I replied apologetically.

Dad then just sighed as he tried to calm himself down. "can you two please get the kids to their rooms first? I need to talk about something important." It told us so without thinking twice, we followed.

"Papa, is Grandpa mad at us?" Ryusei asked me.

I smiled and replied nervously. "No, baby. Grandpa was just surprised that we came in wrong time. I promise that you two could play with him and Grandma later, okay?"

Sei who was now pouting then says. "But Grandpa mentioned Papa's parents! are they bad guys and that is the reason why Grandpa doesn't want us to be here?"

Sighing, I realized that maybe it's time for them to know about me, but before that, I will need their Daddy's permission to do so. "Papa will talk to Daddy first before I answer that. For now, I need you to be good kids and stay here until I or Daddy calls you, understood?" I told them in my gentle voice.

Being the good kids they are, of course they nod at me and stayed in the room, so I went back down to talk with Dad. Sitting beside my husband, Dad looks at me and asked. "Do you really not know they'll be released today?"

Sure enough, I nod at him. "Honestly, we're just so busy so we just wanted to spend the long weekend with you guy and it really didn't occurred to me that day was today."

Toru sighs too before he talked to his Dad. "I know you're just worried about us, but you shouldn't have done that. Now, I'm sure the kids are either worried or scared."

Dad then face-palmed. "I know, it was my bad. I just really can't think of anything whenever it crosses my mind. I just want to protect the life you two had build together." He admits.

Holding Dad's hand, I said. "Thank you, Dad. We appreciate it."

Now all calmed down and smiling, Toru asks him. "Where's Mom?"

Dad sighed again. "To be honest, your Mom is worrying about this too and she's just not feeling well enough to get up from the bed."

"What?! And we haven't heard anything?!" Toru says, rushing his way to his parents bedroom, making me and Dad follow.

"Babe, calm down! Maybe Mom just don't want us to worry about her." I tried to talk it out to him, but he just barge in and that is when we see Mom, all stressed out and almost skin and bones. "O-oh my God!" I muttered in shock.

"S-since when she was like this, Dad?" Toru asks in worry.

"It's been a month ever since she started to hole herself in this room and when she started acting strange, so I called on the doctors to check on her, but all they can see is stress from her. I wanted to bring her on the hospital too but I just can't because I am afraid of the risk that your parents might come and try to hurt her." Dad explains, almost tearing up.

Calming him down again, I patted his back as Toru sits beside Mom and started talking to her. Fortunately, she reacts to Toru's voice calling out to her.

"Hey Ari, can you call her too?" He asks me, but the moment he mentions my name, Mom just flinched and began hysterically crying.

"D-don't call him, Toru! W-what if his parents knows he's with us! W-we will all be dead! H-he's a course! H-he brought the course to everyone's life!" Mom says, pleading to him.

It was devastating for me to hear that, but I think, it was more depressing for him to hear his Mom said those awful words to me so I shook my head to tell him that it was okay. Patting Dad's shoulder, I then rushed out of the mansion and screamed my lungs out as I cried hard for being born into this twisted fate.

Still feeling the pain in my heart, I couldn't even find myself getting up. I just wanted to be gone and free them of what they call a course.

"Ari." Toru calls onto me, as he joined me in the ground, hugging me tight to share the pain I am feeling. "I'm sorry that you have to hear all that. Please know that Mom doesn't mean it like that." He explains.

"B-but she's right... I-I am a course and all I will do is to keep burdening everyone, e-especially you and our kids..." I muttered in between my sobs.

Tearing up, he replied. "You know it wasn't like that, Ari. Didn't we made this far already? O-our kids are now 10 years old and I know that much that they'll side with me this time. You will never be a burden to us."

Unconvinced, I continued to cry like a kid, but when our kids suddenly came, my tears just stopped from falling and it almost felt like my body is telling me not to be fragile in front of them.

Finding a reason to be strong for a little while, I hugged the twins and Toru hugs us all. "We love you, Ari." He whispers into my ear.

After that drama, we decided to tell the twins about my dark past and what I had to injure when my parents are at large, of course we didn't went to the detailed explanation and we just told them the parts they can understand.

"Is it that bad to be an Omega?" Ryusei asks.

Don't want to answer it, I looked at Toru to ask help and he said. "No, son. Being an Omega is not bad, it's just that people have some bad habits of looking down on them because they are special."

"If Papa is special, then why is he hurting so much?" Sei asked him.

"Because your Papa is too kind for his own good, but you guys know what? Papa was able to be a brave person because of you two!" Toru says looking at me then our twins.

"Because of us?" They asked in chorus.

"Yes, it was because of you two that Papa was able to move forward and forget about his hurting feelings. It was because of you two that Papa is on his best version." Toru continued to compliment me, making me blush.

"Then I Ryusei will also be the best twins Papa and Daddy can have!" Sei declares confidently.

"Yes! I and Sei will be superheroes and fight bad people to protect Papa!" Ryusei then followed making me smile in awe.

Huggging the twins, I looked at Toru and mouthed the words. "Thank you and I love you."

Smiling he nods and mouthed back, sealing it with a kiss on my lips.

Now the tension had died down and the kids are asleep, Dad, Toru and I talked some more over tea.

"You know what, the twins came into our room and told your Mom about what happened earlier." Dad says, making me gulp as I trembled.

Toru then hold my hand and asked. "And how Mom reacted?"

"Well, she's calmer than how she reacted on you. She even asked them Ari hates her." Dad replies with a smile. "Guess what your kids answered her."

Toru smiles and chuckled as he says. "They probably debunked it and said, Papa is a nice he will not hate anyone."

Dad nods. "Ryusei even quoted you by saying "Papa is just too kind for his own good.""

The two of them laughed while I was there blushing. "You see now, you're just lovable in any way, babe. All you had to have now is confidence within you." Toru says, caressing my cheeks.

"B-but how can I even do that? Not when they're back and might be planning to do something again." I muttered.

"Babe, didn't I told your sister before? You're all stronger than they are now this fear you are feeling right now is just a proof that you're ready for any trouble that they will advance, but it won't mean that they'll succeed." Toru says to me and Dad.

After that tea, we all then went to our rooms and said good night to one another, but in our room, Toru continued to talk to me about things he found in me and why does he loves me that much. Hearing those words, my heart is once again captured by this husband of mine.

"Thank you for everything, babe. I just don't know what I will do without you." I mumbled, snuggling close to his chest.

Smiling, he whispers. "It's the same for me and our twins, babe and we just knew that we willn't be here if it wasn't for you."

Sighing in content, I began dozing off while he cuddled with me and the next day, we were both waken up by the twins who just suddenly pounced on us. "Oh my, aren't you guys feeling energetic as ever?" I commented as I give them a warms smile.

Ryusei nods and said. "Good morning, Papa! did you slept well?"

I nod, meanwhile Toru groans. "Hey, that's not fair, why does Daddy doesn't have good morning!"

Sei then rolled her eyes at him, saying. "Because you aren't greeting Papa yet!"

Scratching the back of his neck, Toru then leaned in to me, kissing my cheeks. "Good morning, babe."

With me blushing, the twins then began squealing with our PDA.

"H-hey, you guys are too young to be squealing for that, b-besides it was just a peck on the cheeks." I embarrassedly said.

Laughing, he whispered to me, teasingly. "I wanted to do more but our cute twins are watching."

Looking at our kids, they then give me a warm smile. "S-shall we get down and eat breakfast? W-what do you guys, want?" I asked, still flustered.

Ryusei then shook his heads, smiling and said. "Breakfast is ready. Grandma helped us to cook!"

"Your Grandma? Is she feeling alright now?" Toru asks, quickly jumping off the bed.

Sei nods at him making him rush off the room to get downstairs. "Why don't you guys follow, Daddy? Papa needs to make the bed before going down." I told them.

They then obliged, leaving me inside the room as I contemplate on how should I face Mom, after what happened yesterday. I mean I knew it wasn't my fault and it wasn't her either. She's just stressed and those words are just results of her fear of what might happened. Sighing, I went down to join them for breakfast.

Seating on the opposite sides, of course I can't help it but to look down as I don't want Mom to feel awkward, but then she speaks. "Ari, my dear. I'm sorry for the things I had said to you yesterday."

Laughing awkwardly, I continued eating. "It's fine, Mom. It's alright now, I knew it wasn't you talking that time."

"B-but I said mean things to you through Toru. I don't know what came over me and just blurted it out." She explains.

It was then the twins reacted and said. "Grandma already said sorry and Papa accepted it, doesn't it mean they make up now, Daddy?"

Smiling, Toru nods. "But you guys shouldn't butt in adults conversation, okay." He reprimanded them in a calm way, making us all laugh while the twins pouted.
