Stronger

Toru's POV

Ever since we had those incident with Mom and Dad, the twins are now being extra protective about their Papa. They even put an effort to check once every morning and once every night and of course we are happy about it, it's just that Ari is somehow uncomfortable with this kind of treatment, don't know if it's about his pride or what, but even the kids' intention was just pure love for him, he just don't want to accept it and kept on saying he doesn't deserve to be treated like that.

Being the head of our family, I did talked Ari about how the kids' are making him uncomfortable, but all he replied to me was he doesn't know. It was just then I realized that Ari is now back to anxious and depressed self and I just know that if I were to let this continue, we might just really lose him this time.

Talking to the kids, I made them understand how much their Papa suffered before we came into his life and how it is not easy for him to just break free form the shackles of that past so we need to help him. Agreeing to my suggestion, they asked. "What are you planning, daddy?"

"W-well, I am thinking to send you guys away from here and I want you to go look after Papa." I replied.

"S-somewhere? J-just us, without you?" Ryusei asked again.

Nodding, I explained. "It saddens me too that I will be away from the three of you, but if it will make your Papa happy and stronger, I will take a risk and leave everything to you two."

Sei nods. "We promise to take care of Papa, Daddy! But you have to promise us too!" She banters.

"Hm? And what do you want me to promise you, my princess?" I gently asked.

"Promise me that you'll call us every night and visit us when you can." She replies.

Chuckling, I nod back and said. "Of course, sweetheart. I'll call you guys every now and then."

"B-but Papa will not be happy to leave Daddy alone, can I stay with you, Daddy?" Ryusei suggested.

"I-I'm not sure about that, my prince. I don't think I can leave Papa alone with Sei." I then said.

Sei then pouted. "We are big now, Daddy! If Ryusei wants to stay with you then I think Papa can also have the peace of mind since you aren't alone."

I tried to explain further but the twins are just stubborn as me so in the end, we settled the deal with what they want and that is only when we talked to Ari about it.

"D-do we really have to do that, babe? A-am I really a burden now that you have to throw me away?" He quickly commented.

"It's not like that babe, I just want you to regain your self-worth there and once you're okay, you can come back home." I replied.

The twins then nod, saying. "Daddy is just worried about Papa to lose himself and leave us."

"L-leave you?" He asked in confusion.

"Daddy told us that you hurt yourself and we don't want it, Papa." Sei told him.

"Yes and that is why we want Papa to get proper care. We want Papa to get well and came back to his normal self. We want the Papa smiling always." Ryusei added.

Just I thought, Ari can decline me but never his kids, so it's just right that I let them do most of the talking and just give them prompts to what they should say.

Realizing our kids point, Ari quickly agreed and said. "I'm sorry that we have to do it this way, if only I was a little stronger. I feel so ashamed with our kids."

"Hey it's fine, you're human like anyone else. Don't invalidate your own feelings." I then replied.

"I know but I just can't accept that our kids are the ones who's looking out for me." He exclaimed, flopping to our bed.

Lying down beside him, I hugged him from the back. "You don't have to be ashamed of that, Ari. We're on the same boat on that, you and our kids are my world, and it's amazing how we are able to make them good kids. You know why is that?" I asked.

He shook his head then asks back. "Why?"

"Because they have an amazing Papa who's been there whenever they needed." I replied kissing his cheeks.

Blushing he then give me a shy pout. "You don't have to butter me up, I already told the kids I'll be going."

Chuckling I nod. "I'm gonna miss you, babe." I whispered to his ear.

Flipping himself over, he then replied. "I'm gonna miss you too, so much."

Resting my forehead to his, I muttered. "Please get well soon, babe. I and Ryusei will be waiting here for you and Sei."

Nodding, he replies. "I promise to be back soon. I love you."

"I love you too, Ari." I replied, sealing it with a passionate kiss.

Just a day after that, Ari and Sei flew somewhere abroad. We were discreet about it so only I and Ryusei are the only ones who knew that they out of the country. Not even our parents nor his siblings knew about it so it's kinda depressing that only I and my son can share this emptiness we are feeling.

A year passed by and Ari continued with his therapy and seems to be doing well, Sei is also studying abroad so our timeline really doesn't match but we put an effort to talk at least once day. Meanwhile, Ryusei is worried about their birthday.

"Son, can you please just sit down. You're making me dizzy." I reprimanded him.

"B-but we're gonna soon be 13 dad, what if Sei manifested as an Omega. What will happen to her there!" Ryusei replied.

"Oh boy, it's the time for that huh?" I muttered when it crossed my mind. "Maybe we should fly to them before your birthday happens." I suggested.

Ryusei's eyes then widen. "Really Daddy?!"

Smiling in relief, I nod at him. "Consider this as your birthday gift, okay?"

He nods back, hugging me tight. "Thanks, Dad."

Came two days before the twin's birthday, I and Ryusei booked a flight without telling them since we want to surprise them, but when we entered the house they're in, we were surprised to see nothing on it, at almost the same time, Sei calls Ryusei. "Bro, where are you and Papa?"

Ryusei then looked at me as if asking what should I say, so I nod at him. "W-where here in your house, abroad. We are planning to surprise you and Papa, but you guys are not here."

"Dummy! Papa thinks of the same too so we went home!" Sei exclaimed.

"Sei, can Daddy please talk to Papa?" I said, as I grab my son's phone.

"H-hello babe?" Ari replies in a shy voice.

"Babe, are you really back home?" I asked to confirm.

"Y-yes we are. Sorry, I didn't mean to ruin your plans, shall we book a flight back there?" He asks back.

"No need, babe. We're gonna fly back there. Wait for us, okay?" I said.

"A-alright, have a safe trip." He says, ending the call.

As the call ended, I saw Ryusei scanning the house and as soon as he entered his twin sister's room, he flinched and fall into his knees. "S-she's an Alpha!"

"W-what?" I asked as I tried to pick him up, but his pheromones suddenly went crazy and that moment, I knew, my son is a Male Omega, like his Papa. "Ryusei, calm down." I said, pulling him out of his sister's room.

After transferring him to the living room, of course I knew that as his dad, I need to relieve him somehow, and I was aware that it might be cheating with my husband with our own son, but I need to deal with this before it gets out of hand so I just swallowed my pride and relieved him in a way that involves no penetration.

Luckily, he was not that exposed so his heat dies down quickly and after that I immediately booked flight back and it was already morning when we arrived. I was planning to wait until until I and Ari got ourselves a time to tell him what happened but as soon as Ryusei sees him, it went crying and saying. "Papa! Papa! I am a bad kid."

And with his ever loving and gentle demeanor, he asks. "That's not true, come on, tell Papa what happened."

Looking away, I let my son told him what happened, but into my surprise he debunked it with a confession that he had to help Sei too.

"W-will that mean, you guys done it too?" I asked him.

He nods. "It can't be helped and don't worry, I didn't go all out with her too. Just enough for her to calm down."

After that, we then asked Ryusei to sleep on our bed because it will not be safe for them to sleep along side and we talked about the things we should consider doing now that our kids just manifested.

Seemingly calm and collected, Ari suggests. "I think it's time for us to move in a larger house where the twins can have separate rooms, babe."

Nodding I replied. "Maybe, we should get them checked on the clinic too, I think it's a bit alarming how they reacted to each other's pheromones."

He nods back in agreement so the two of us does so once both of them are awake. It was only then we realized that the fault lies with us and the reason our twins reacted to each other like that is not because they're fated mates or what, it's just happened because we didn't separated them soon.

Hearing the doctor say that, of course I was worried that Ari might breakdown easily like he always does, but into my shock, my husband stayed calm as he apologized to the doctor, admitting our fault.

Still in a daze, I remained speechless until we got home. "Papa, daddy is acting weird." Sei complains.

Ari then laughed at her. "Just let him be, baby. Daddy is just bad in admitting when he's at fault."

"Daddy looks like a lost kid, Papa!" Ryusei added, making them laugh even more.

Pouting, I jokingly reprimanded all of them as I pull them in a tight hug before tickling them all together. "You guys are all getting sassy to me now, huh?" Their laughs then echoed to our house and that is when I suddenly felt sentimental.

"Babe?" Ari calls on to me.

"Hm?" I replied.

He then told the kids to leave us for a bit, and when we're all alone, he asks. "What makes you feel so out of it? Is something bothering you?"

I smiled as I caressed his face. "I'm just happy that you look happier and stronger now, babe and also, I just can't believe that we are finally moving out from this house where we raised them." I explained.

Smiling, he nods. "It was like you said to me before, babe. We had gone far to just fear our future and I don't want to teach our twins like that. I wanted to be stronger for them and teach them that the best way to deal with your fear is to face it."

I smiled him as I give him a hug. "You did well, Ari. I'm so proud of what you are now." I said, kissing his cheeks.

"I wouldn't have got this far if I hadn't met you, Toru." He replies burying his face into my chest.

"I love you, Ari and never will I regret you being my fated mate, my omega, my husband and the Papa of my children." I said, nuzzling to his hair.

"Me too, you and the kids are the best thing that had happened to me and in the reason that my twisted fate as an Omega is all just a ride that I can enjoy." He replied once more, kissing my lips.

Kissing back, I heard our kids squeling from our back but the momentum is just too good to reprimand them so I beckoned them to come close and hug us together.

"How lucky am I to be surrounded by this family. I love you all." I told them.

--

After a week of preparing for our move, we finally find a place we can call home. I knew we will not stay in this house forever but somehow the vibe it gives is a sweet and cozy home, and to bless our new home, we called my parents and his siblings to join us in this occasion.

"How long has it been we've been together, babe?" I asked as I hugged him as he enjoy the view from our balcony.

"15 years?" He replies unsure, making me pout jokingly.

"Damn! isn't it a roller coaster ride?" I commented.

He smiles as he nod. "Sure is, but those ups and downs made us closer and stronger. I couldn't even imagine that I am soon 40."

I smiled back. "So what if you are, you're still the hottest Omega in my eyes."

"Oh babe, flattery won't get you anywhere." He says, giggling.

"Hey! I'm just telling you the truth!" I replied, pouting.

He giggles more. "Yeah right!" He pauses. "But if there's one thing I can wish for right now, that will be, I hope Ryusei and Sei, find themselves a good partner, like I found you."

I nod. "Me too, I just hope that they can find their safe place in this world and even if we're gone, they can still stand up in their feet and kept on living."

Smiling, he rests his head to my shoulders. "I'm sure they will. We aren't perfect parents, but I know that much that we raise them with love and care and that alone is enough for me to rest assured."

"Oh babe, I just love you even more for that." I chuckled as I kissed his neck.

He giggled. "Yeah? And what are you gonna do about it?" He winks as he pushed me back to our room.

"Oh please, I know exactly where I am going with this." I smirked and continued to kiss his neck.

Moaning, he closes the door and pull the blinds down. "I do, so how about getting a little wild this time?" He suggested as he pulled away a bit, bending forward to the glass door.

I bite my lower lip in anticipation. "I'd love to, babe." I replied, growling and grunting to his ear.

"H-hurry Toru. I need you." He says, spreading his legs for me.

Obliging, I quickly unzipped my pants and aligned myself to him. "Are you sure that I don't need to prepare your for this, babe?"

He moans and wiggles his bum. "Yes, I'm kinda feeling wet because my heat is soon coming."

Nodding, I shove myself into him. "O-oh damn!" I groaned as I started thrusting.

He then moaned as loud as he can to arouse me further and given that the twins will not be back until later this afternoon, we went at it all day.
