It was late and it was super cold considering that it was now the chilly month of October, and Chris definitely smelled from being in the field so long but he didn’t give a shit. He was so glad to be back home, he missed his family so much, and of course Chris got worried when Leon told him Sergio was going through his first heat. He wanted to be here for his little one. Chris quickly debriefed and told them if they needed any more information he’d write it in the report. Right now he was on a mission to get home. But before Chris went home he picked up a few items for his family and then headed home. Chris came home to a house that was quieter than it’s usual loudness and he took a shower in the downstairs bathroom and he discarded his dirty clothes into a plastic bag to wash separately. Leon heard shuffling down stairs and he slowly snuck down with his gun. And he made his footsteps very light as he headed towards the kitchen. As Leon rounded the corner he quickly stuck the gun in the air and Chris raised his arms.

“ Aaah don’t shoot me!” Chris said dramatically.

“What the fuck? Chris! I could have shot you!” Leon said clicking the safety back on the gun and putting it away in a place the kids could not get it. Chris walked over gently kissing him. “Sorry baby, I wasn’t trying to startle you. I was trying to surprise you.” The alpha said pointing.

Leon looked at the counter and there was a vase full of roses, with a set of Leon’s favorite dessert. Chocolate covered strawberries. Leon looked at it and he smiled.

“You’ve always been such a charmer.”

“Happy wife, happy life right?”

Leon busted out laughing before coming over to kiss Chris again. “That’s right. I’m happy you’re home.”

Chris smiled. “Me too baby. How’s our little one? Is he okay?”

Leon sighed. “Despite him having the suppressants, it hasn’t been easy. His stomach hurts and he’s been throwing up a lot, and sleeping a lot too when the systems finally calm down a little.”

Chris looked a bit sad and he grabbed the get well basket off the counter. “Well… I’m gonna go check on him. I’ll be right back.”

Leon nodded as he watched Chris go up stairs. Chris checked on all the sleeping kiddos, kissing their forehead and covering them up more warmly and then he headed down to Sergio’s room and he gently knocked. No response. Chris gently opened the door and he could see Sergio curled up in the fetal position and he was obviously running a fever. Chris stepped into the room and he sat the get well basket on Sergio’s dresser and he walked over to Sergio kneeling down. Chris gently brushed his hair back and Sergio’s eyes fluttered open.

“Mn… Dad…? Y-You’re home…”

“Hey baby…” Chris kissed his forehead. “Yeah I’m home.” He smiled. “Your Mama told me you were sick, and that you were having your first heat. And no way was I going to be gone with you feeling so bad so I raced home to you guys.”

Sergio smiled slightly. “I’m glad you’re home Dad… I missed you.”

“I missed you too, baby. Get some sleep okay? And you have a get well basket over there when you’re feeling up to it.”

Sergio nodded and Chris kissed his forehead once more before getting up, and he gently left out cracking the door just in case Sergio needed them. Leon was waiting for him outside and his omega smiled. “Let’s get some sleep?”

Chris sighed. “Sleep sounds great.”

Leon grabbed his hand and they went into their bedroom and laid down. Leon laid on Chris and Chris held him tightly, and with his omega in his grasp and his children safe and sleeping. Chris easily dozed off into a deep slumber.

The weekend approached quickly and Sergio was finally feeling much better and he was in the kitchen helping Leon make a pound cake. The little ones were outside playing of course being monitored by Zeus but Leon could also see them through the glass window, and Chris was in the living room watching a bit of sports on TV. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Chris got up and went to answer it. When he answered the door his eyes narrowed as he looked at a young boy on his doorstep.

“Can I help you?”

“Ah… sorry to disturb you. I-... I’m Lee Yeon, and I’m here to see Sergio… he was sick the last time I saw him and I just wanted to check on him and give him these…” Yeon said, holding up flowers.

“Chris? Who is it?” Leon said coming out of the kitchen and Sergio following behind. Leon walked up to the door and he smiled. “Oh Yeon, we meet again.”

Yeon nodded. “I came to check on Sergio and give him these.”

“And my husband hasn’t let you in yet? Excuse him, come in.”

Yeon bowed in thanks and he stepped in. Sergio’s eyes widened when he saw the alpha. “Yeon? What are you doing here?”

“I was texting but you didn’t answer and I couldn’t wait anymore to know if you were okay so I came. And I got you these.” Yeon said, giving Sergio the flowers.

The omega blushed slightly and he felt his heart swell. Yeon watched as Sergio smelled them and his heart fluttered watching the pretty omega smile.

“Thank you. I love them. Wanna help me put them in a vase?”

Yeon nodded. “Sure.” The alpha followed the petite omega into the kitchen and Chris looked like he was gonna blow. He waited until they got into the kitchen and looked at Leon.

“Who the hell is that?” Chris asked.

“His friend.” Leon responded.

“No no… he looks like much more than a friend.”

“I won’t lie and say Sergio doesn’t like him. Our son has a bit of a crush. Maybe even his first love.”

Chris looked sick. “No way, I love him. He doesn’t need anyone else.”

Leon busted out laughing. “He’s growing up Chris. Eventually he was going to come across someone he liked.”

“I know but he-”

Leon stopped him. “I know what you’re worried about. He may be an omega but Sergio is not weak and he isn’t naive. Come on, trust his judgment a little.” Leon said, kissing Chris and he wrapped his arms around his neck. “Plus… remember how we were when we were younger? My parents hated you. But it never stopped me from seeing you. And trying to hold Sergio back he’ll only do the same.”

Chris sighed. “That’s because he has your pettiness.” The alpha teased.

“Hey, watch it.” Leon said, pouting. “Plus…” Leon said, nuzzling into Chris and putting his lips against his ear and he whispered. “...if you play nice I’ll do that thing you like so much with my tongue later… I’ll suck you off until your legs shake.”

Chris pulled Leon back. “Promise?”

Leon smirked. “Promise.”

Chris smacked Leon on the ass before going into the kitchen to get to know the boy. “Hey Yeon!” Chris yelled. “Stay for dinner!”

Leon laughed following behind his husband, he knew the right motivation would help and he was praying to any god out there listening that dinner blew over smoothly.
