Love Me, My Omega!

"Tomorrow? Why tomorrow?" Tristan asked. "Why not?" Justin shrugged.

The alpha could only chuckle at his response. "Okay, you got me there," he said as he shook his head. "Will you let me take you home?" Tristan continued.

Justin's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at him and said, "Why?" Tristan shrugged with a smug look on his face as he said, "Why not?"

Justin frowned at him and Tristan laughed as he watched his facial expression change. "Sorry, sorry," he said as he laughed. "I just want to take you home. It's as simple as that," Tristan smiled.

"Well, I don't want you to," Justin said with a blank face. "Oh, come on!" Tristan pouted as he looked at him. "That won't work on me, you know?" Justin chuckled as he shook his head.

"I'm off now, bye," he said as he waved goodbye and headed back inside the building.

"Take care!" Tristan yelled as he watched Justin walk away.

'Shit. Shit. Shit. I almost gave in!' Justin thought as he screamed internally. 'Thankfully he didn't follow me in. If he did, then I don't think I can still think rationally.'

While it was true that he thought he has already moved on from Tristan, somehow, there was a part of him that was still attracted to him. Justin, himself, thought that it was weird, but he still kept forcing himself in believing that he didn't have any lingering feelings left.

He went out of the building and took the bus home. When he got to the apartment complex where he lives, he headed to their unit right away to see the twins as soon as possible.

Even though he saw them earlier in the morning, he already missed them so much while he thought of them when he was still at work.

He opened the door and saw that the house was a mess. The twins' toys were scattered around the floor as he heard them screaming and giggling as they played.

"... and then the dinosaur bit the Princess. Nom, nom, nom!"

Justin took his shoes off and headed inside.

"Kyaaa! Oh no, the dinosaur bit me!"

"Chester, why is it 'nom, nom, nom'? It should be 'rawr, grrr!', right?" Another kid's voice was heard as he spoke, it was Jace.

"Ah, who cares! Let's just play!" Chesca yelled. "Chesca, raising your voice is bad," Chester said as he frowned at his sister. "Why is it bad? It's only bad when we do it to older people. You and Jace are not older than me!" She yelled again.

"Now, now, sweetheart... That's not how you should talk to your brother and friend, is it?" Justin said as he smiled at them.

"Mommy!" The twins stood up as they smiled happily and ran to their mommy. They threw their arms around him and gave him a hug. Justin kissed the top of their foreheads as he hugged them back while still holding the bouquet of flowers.

"Hello, uncle!" Jace said as he beamed at Justin. "Why, hello! Come here, too," Justin smiled back at him as he called him over for a hug. Jace ran to him and gave him a hug, too.

"Wow, flowers!" Chesca exclaimed as she looked at the flowers that were on Justin's hands. "Oh, yes. Wanna hold them?" Justin smiled as he handed the bouquets to the twins.

Chesca took the bigger bouquet, the bouquet of roses, while Chester took the bouquet of Baby's Breaths.

As the kids continued playing again, Justin sat next to Jamie who just finished washing the kids' dishes.

"Oh, hello! Welcome back," she smiled at Justin as she wiped her hands. Justin smiled at her and said, "Hello. How were the twins today? They didn't cause trouble, did they?"

"Um... Well, I don't think this counts as trouble, but when I got to the school earlier, the three of them were crying so much. When I asked them why they were crying, they didn't tell me anything," Jamie said as she looked at the kids who were playing happily.

Justin looked at them, too, and saw that Chester was giving a rose to Jace. "Flowers are only for girls!" Jace said as he took the rose from Chester's hand and gave it to Chesca.

"Is that so?" Justin said and face Jamie. "I'll try asking them later. Thank you so much," he continued.

After they spoke a little more, Jamie told Jace that they're gonna go home already. "Say goodbye to your friends, baby," Jamie said as she smiled at her son.

Jace waved his hand and said, "Bye-bye!" The twins said goodbye, too, and the mother and son headed out of their house after that.

Even after Jace left, the twins continued playing. The bouquets weren't damaged at all, too, because Chesca was guarding it earlier. She told the boys that she would bit them if they touched the flowers again, which is why they were still fine.

As they were playing, Justin suddenly spoke to them.

"Sweeties... I heard that you were crying earlier. The two of you and Jace. What happened at school, hmm?" he said as he sat next to them on the floor.

Their giggles have stopped, and the twins looked at each other as they stopped playing. They were both quiet as they held their toys tightly.

"Is it okay if you tell mommy?" Justin said, trying to make them open up about it.

He didn't want them to grow up keeping secrets from him, because he knew that once they get used to it, they wouldn't even tell him the things that hurt them.

Also, Justin knew that for kids their age, they're both more mature than their peers when it comes to things like this. They wouldn't tell anyone about anything if they knew that it would trouble them in any way. That was the kind of mindset they had as they grew up seeing their mother struggle every day. They didn't want seeing him suffer more.

They lowered their heads as they remained quiet.

"What's wrong, sweeties? Maybe mommy can help you," Justin said as he held their hands.

"Mommy, why don't we have a daddy?" Chesca said as she raised her head and looked at Justin.

"Chesca!" Chester looked at her with a shocked face.

The question that left the little girl's mouth made Justin flinch.

He didn't know what to do.

'Of course, they're already at the age where they would wonder about certain things. The other kids around them have both parents while they don't. They only have me...' Justin thought as he looked at them with a pained expression.

"Why did you ask that?" Chester said as he frowned at her. "Because the other kids kept telling us that we don't have a daddy!" Chesca yelled. "What's wrong with only having a mommy! Mommy is the best mommy in the world!" she continued as she started crying.

"Come here sweeties," Justin opened his arms and pulled them in for a hug. "Is this why you cried earlier at school?" he asked as he caressed their backs.

Chesca started sobbing, while Chester was still stopping his tears from falling. He was trying so hard not to cry because he thinks his mommy would get sad if he cried, too.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry that you don't have a daddy. Your daddy is in a very far place right now," Justin said as he hugged them tighter.

"Where is he?" Chesca asked. "Y... Your daddy is working. He's working at a very, very nice place. He's very busy, and that's why he's not here," Justin said and swallowed hard, trying his hardest no to cry.

He didn't want to show them that he was hurting, too. If he broke down, it would affect his children, too.

What he said wasn't entirely wrong, too. It was true that Tristan is working at a nice place. He is, in fact, the CEO of that nice place. He wanted them to believe that they weren't abandoned. However, what he said to the twins gave then false hope of having a father, because he had no intention of telling Tristan about them.

"Why did Jace cry with you?" Justin chuckled as he asked. He thought it was cute that the twins' friend cried with them. "He told the other kids that they're ugly if they tell us that we don't have a daddy," Chester said as he buried his face on Justin's chest. "And then, they told him that he's the ugly one," Chesca continued her brother's sentence.

The three of them laughed at what Chesca said, and that somehow lifted the mood a little.

*****

The next day came, and it was already their scheduled dinner with each other.

When Justin saw Tristan, he started doubting his decision if it was really right for him to keep Tristan from knowing about their children.

'After all... he's their father, too.'

"You said dinner, didn't you? Why are we at a condominium?" Justin said after Tristan opened the door for him. "We're gonna eat at my place," the alpha smiled as Justin got off.

"Why does it have to be here?" Justin asked as he frowned at him. "I wanted to cook for you," Tristan said as his smile got even wider. "Come on, follow me," he said as he grabbed Justin's hand and started walking.

'Seriously... he should really stop doing things like this. This is bad. It's only been a few days, but I already feel like I'm...' Justin swallowed hard as he looked at their hands.

'... I'm starting to fall for him again.'
