"M-Mr. McClain"
Keith was nervous, and was looking at the floor, of course he's uneasy, after what Lances father has said about him, well not only him but Lumi as well, and Julio figured as much, that's why he's here today
"Hello Keith...is that...?"
Lumi poked his head out from behind his mother in curiosity, he turned his head to the side at seeing the elder male, he then looked up at Keith's uneasy reaction and frowned when Keith shielded him back behind him
"I wanted to see if Lance was home...I wanted to Talk...Rosa convinced me to..."
Keith nodded nervously making Julio frown, he walked forward and Keith flinched, making him stop in his tracks, Lumi noticed Keith's unbearable nervousness and started to growl
"Weave Oma awone! Dis Wu's house! An Wu's Oma! So you can't be mean to him" He Hissed out from behind him, he quickly got in front of Keith, a very protective expression on his face his ears pointed back in clear hostility and his tail bushed up twice its usual fluff
"L-Lu wait-" Keith stuttered out as he grabbed Lumi to get him closer to him again
Julio looked down at the tiny Alpha, and he couldn't help giving a small almost unnoticeable smile from beneath his mustache making Keith's eyes widen, he's never seen the man smile before
"Who might you be?" Julio asked quietly softly as he bent down to Lumis height making Keith flinch at the sudden movement
"I-I Wu! Wu is oma Hewwo! Wu potect Oma! Paopa say so! Oh!B-But Paopa not here!"
"Hm, I see, well when your Papa returns then I'll be back as well" he murmured out quietly
He looked up at Keith and stood back up, he took a few paces back and then looked at the ground, unable to look Keith in the face
'Why' Keith questioned 'why won't he look at me? Does he hate me that much?'
"Uh, you have Rosa's number..correct? Well please give her a call once My son...I mean...Lance is home, I feel there's something I must discuss with the two of you..for now um I'll head back home, sorry to bother you"
Keith was surprised, in his mind Julio was the man who wouldn't let him near his fated, someone who hated him, and his child, but today he seemed small almost...desperate
Without turning back, Julio went into his car and drove off as Keith watched in confused Curiosity, hopefully this talk isn't bad...
___
"He said what?!"
"Lance be quiet"
Lance had just gotten home, Keith gave him a kiss once he arrived a sleeping Lumi in his arms as he told his husband about What his father said, to say Lance was mad was an understatement
"And you agreed to what he said??" He asked in a more hushed tone but the edge of anger never strayed far from his voice
"Well yes? What am I supposed to do? Say no?"
"Exactly! You should've said you didn't want to! Have you forgotten what that man has done to us?"
"He seemed desperate this time Lance, I felt we could try to-"
"Try to what??? hear him talk about killing off our children?!"
"Lance! Lumi is right here, you shouldn't say such things around him.."
"that's besides the point, Keith, That man doesn't care! He might even try to make you get rid of Kota!! He's a danger to this family, Sometimes I wish he wasn't even related to me"
"Lance you don't understand, that's your one and only father, you can't just have this kind of relationship with him forever" Keith muttered out obviously upset
"More like you don't understand, It's not like you have a dad or can even relate-" Lance stopped his rage of fury before he could finish his sentence but it was too late, the look on Keith's face showed clear hurt
"I-I didn't mean..." he stuttered out but Keith refused to look at him,
Lance gave an upset sigh as he looked at his mate he reached a hand forward softly to touch Keith's face, Keith didn't flinch or move but he did frown once Lance had him lift his head up to meet his eyes
"How could you say that?" He asked in a broken tone "You know how much that's hurt me, how could you just.."
"I-I know, I'm sorry it just...slipped...I didn't mean too Cariño, I really didn't..."
"It doesn't hurt me as much as it used to but hearing it from you it.....Just...please Lance, don't be like me, I had a horrible relationship with my father before he died and I regret it every day...please just..talk to him....if not for youself do it for me?"
Lance sighed and gave Keith a kiss on his cheek, trying to dispel any negativity from his wife's face
"I'll try, okay?...I'll try for you"
Keith gave a soft smile and gave Lance a kiss on the corner of his lips
"Good.."
"Mmm Oma..Chu Wu too"
Keith looked down and his eyes widened at the very much awake Lumi in his arms, he gave Lumi a kiss on his cheek as well making him give a soft sounding giggle against Keith's shirt, Keith hopes this talk will go okay
___
The room was deathly silent as Lance and Julio stared at each other from the couches in the living room, Rosa was there as well but she was sitting beside her husband patting his back in clear comfort while Keith was behind the door looking very afraid with Lumi silently messing with his mothers fingers
"Where's Keith and the little one at? I'd like to say hello"
"You don't need to know where Lumi is at, Or where my wife is currently at either"
Julio sighed "O-of course, I'll get right to the point then, umm as I said before, I can not accept things the way they are-"
"What do you mean? You can't accept things the way things are?? You have no rights to Say shit like that, especially after what you said to Keith and Lu" Lance responded back bitterly
"Please Lance, Let me finish...I think I'm messing up already..i never wanted to but I feel like you have the right to know as to why I said such horrible things. You don't have to forgive me, I wouldn't either.....Believe it or not but...I feel regret everyday from what I said to your omega...I felt it so vividly that I can't even look Keith in the face, I know what I did was wrong but I let my stupid pride get in the way..you probably would think I'm crazy when I say that I understand how he feels...."
"What're you playing at?"
"Im not exactly as what I say I am, when I was very young I too was prosecuted.... my mother was a Beta, my father was an Alpha, I never knew my father...he left after finding out my second gender..."
"What do you mean?? Aren't you an Alpha? Why would he leave??" Lance asked Sourly not believing his fathers words
"I'm an Omega Lance...I never told any of you because I was afraid..."
"You??? An Omega?? I'm sick and tired of your lying"
"Lance...it's true" Rosa muttered out, Lance looked at his mother in disbelief and then at his father obviously judging him
"If you're an Omega then why do you hate Keith so much?"
"I don't hate Keith?" he muttered out in confusion, he looked at Lance in clear question and then at Rosa who seemed to frown as she looked at the ground
"Yes you do! Why else would you be so rude towards him"
"Because I care!"
"You...what?..."
"When I was born my father left, it hurt my mother horribly, she had thoughts of sending me to an orphanage but instead she kept me, she didn't care about me...she didn't want anything to do with me, and it...its hurt me more then you could possibly think, she wanted me to be an Alpha so bad that she became delusional" he muttered out his face contorting into one of shame
"I was forced to hide my second gender, I was so used to it that I basically lied my way in life, I've lied to you, I've lied to your siblings, I've lied to my coworkers and I'm getting tired of it, suppressing heats was pure agony, wearing scent disguisers was an every day thing, I know you're angry and I understand that, I would be angry if I were you, it's just...when you were born I wanted to protect you so badly, and you were such a womanizer I got worried, I didn't want you ending up like my father and I didn't want your mate to end up like my mother, I....I was scared Lance..." his voice cracked at the end but Rosa immediately started to pat his back and whisper words of encouragement, trying to get him to continue
Lance was surprised at the genuine fear that was in his fathers voice, all his life he thought his father was a prideful alpha who had Omega complexes, but if he thinks about it, his father was a scared and suppressed Omega who wanted the best for his kids
"Your mother found me at some point, she accepted me for who I was...she marked me so I could stop with the unbalanced heats, she saved me...I was happy you found someone, I really was, but when I found out he was an Omega I was scared you'd treat him like how my father treated my mother, I didn't want a repeat of that especially if it were my own son...because I care about you Lance.....so like I said I cannot accept things the way they are now"
"So you want me and Keith to stop being together?? Is that what you're saying??" Lance asked completely confused
"What can I say to get it through your head?! That's not what I want!" Julio stood up clearly upset making Lance flinch at the sudden action and for Keith to hold Lumi closer
Lumi noticed Julio's aggressiveness starting to get out of hand and he wormed his way out of his mothers hands making Keith scared, he ran out into the living room his chest puffed out and his tail bushed up
"No!" He yelled out
"No mean to paopa! Oma say be nice! Say showwy!" He growled out shielding his father from the elder male making his eyes widen
"Say...what?"
"Say! Showwy! Oma and Paopa awe nice! dey porgib you when you say showwy, if you wan Wu can hewp you say it"
Julio looked at the child clearly amused, and gave a soft sigh, he sat back down calmly a look of understanding grounding its way to his face
"Sorry....of course...I'm such an idiot..." he turned to Lance feeling tears starting to show themselves from the corners of his eyes
"I'm deeply sorry for what I've done to you and your family, I never meant to hurt you with my words I was out of line for what I called someone you hold so dear to you, and for even thinking you'd be anywhere near the person my father was, I know already, there are times when you'd wish I wasn't even related to you, or wish I'd never existed, I know you'd at least thought that once...I knew you would...And I'm sorry you had to think that way, we used to be so close and I was so afraid our relationship would get damaged but...it seems like...I did that on my own.." he muttered out, the room got deathly quiet so out of shame Lances father looked down unable to lift his head up any longer
Lance stared in quiet shock, his father....has never said sorry...not once...He looked up and saw Keith at the door a small smile on his face and Lance couldn't help but smile as well, he walked over to his father who was on the other side of the couch
"Papa...lift your head up....please.."
Julio looked up slowly expecting to see an angry expression on Lance's face but instead his eyes widened at seeing the small smile on his sons face something he hasn't seen in awhile
"It's...okay.."
Lances eyes widened when he saw the way his father started crying in clear relief, his mother comforting him and trying to calm him down, Lance didn't know what to do, not once has his father shown any kind of weakness to him nor his siblings, Lumi walked up towards the man starting to feel the effects of pity crying starting from his eyes
"It otay"
Lumi was touching his grandfathers knees And giving a small quivering frown "it otay, Paopa not mean, he nice, but it don't mean no crying, cause Oma, you know? Oma say it otay to cry, You can be bwave even when crying" he whimpered out tears falling from his eyes while his voice quivered at every word
Julio couldn't help the fond smile he gave the toddler, Lumi reminded him so much of Lance...Keith raised him well, speaking of which
"Is..is that so? I'm glad your mother is someone like Keith, where is he anyways?"
"I'm here" Keith muttered out coming up beside Lance, Julio looked down once again once Keith came into view, but it didn't hurt Keith's pride at all, he knows the reason why this time
"I'm also sorry towards you, I know better then anyone how it feels to be hated, but here I was doing something so loathful....I apologize for my actions and I don't ask you forgive me for even thinking of getting rid of such a bright child such as Lumi I can't even imagine how that made you feel hearing someone tell you to get rid of Lances...I mean both of yours son, I'd have been furious....I regret my actions I sincerely do...and I'm glad you didn't listen to me that day" he babbled out
Keith gave a light hearted laugh " I won't exactly forgive you, that'll take some time.. but...I'll let bygones be bygones, I'm glad you took this chance..I really am....."
And finally for the first time Keith thinks, Julio looked at him with kind eyes and a small apologetic smile
"Thank you.."
"I'm so glad this matter has be resolved it's been too many years that there's been bad blood" Rosa sighed out happily "Cariño, im proud of you for not letting your pride get to you" she chuckled out making Julio's face turn burgundy
"Anyways, Keith I've Um noticed the belly bump, is another on the way?" Lance's father asked quietly
Keith nodded and put a protective hand on his stomach
"Yes, his name is Kota.....Lumi came up with the name"
"You did?" Julio asked while looking at the toddler who's ears perked up at the attention gravitating towards him
"Ai! Ko ku is Wu's brother! Wu wubs him Wu Chu him awot!" Just wike Oma and Paopa Chu!"
"I'm glad" Julio laughed out "I'm very glad.."
Lumi stared at the elder people and then thought for a bit, until a rising question popped up in his mind, he looked at his mother in confusion as he spoke
"Oma, who is them?" Lumi finally asked making Keith pick him up to think for a bit
"That's your grandparents"
"Wike Moni an aboji?"
"Kinda of Lu, you can call them Abuelita and probably Pipo! That's what i called my grandparents" Lance explained happily
"ita? Pipo ?" He asked softly making Keith nod, Lumi gave a loud giggle as he looked at the elder couple
"Ita! Pipo!" He giggled out as he pointed at the two
Julio and Rosa felt their heart well up at the cute sounding words coming from the baby's mouth, Julio laughed for probably the first time in awhile and leaned against Lance who was equally happy
"Yes yes, I'm your Abualito, oh Dios Mio eres tan lindo!"
"I know right?? He's very cute!" Lance chimed in making Lumi smile again as he held onto Keith's t-shirt tightly, Keith's glad they had their talk, he's happy he was able to convince lance into talking to the elder man and he knows they wouldn't ever regret it..
___
Lumi giggled as the waves washed over his feet his tail thumping from side to side in clear merriment, Lota was silently watching as the overpowering waves crashed over his legs while Mahiro cried as he stood in the waves clearly scared, Bonnie was swimming in the water with Hunk he made sure her body was following the waves to prevent her from splashing into it head first and her new little brother Lyon was watching and babbling in his mothers arms
Today the group went swimming, Lumi was wearing hippo related swimming trunks along with Lota who had white lions on his, Mahiro had on a piglet swimming onesie while Bonnie was wearing a two piece swimming wear filled with cute little rabbit as the pattern her brother had on regular clothes and lion swimming trunks
"Oma! Oma! Wook wook! It wikes me!" He giggled out as he stared at the water that kept coming back
Keith smiled from beneath the umbrella in the sand, he leaned back his stomach starting to get that obvious roundness to it, but he was wearing Lances Shirt which hid the obviousness of his pregnant belly
Lance was with Lumi making sure the child wouldn't go right into the clear water, Pidge was sunbathing along with Allura who was merely reading a book, they were wearing swimming trunks and a jacket, while Allura had on a gown Romelle was taking care of Lota and Mahiro while Shiro Matt Krolia Veronica Marco Luis and Rachel (who just got back from Cuba) were playing volleyball Rosa had Julio putting sunblock on her back even asking if he could massage her back as well which he gladly did
Keith sighed softly as he tried to stretch from the uncomfortable spot on the beach towel, and laid down against it allowing the umbrellas shade to block the sun and bring a small breeze his way, he felt himself doze off for a bit when he felt someone leaning over him, without needing to see he already knew who it was
"Yeon-in aren't you supposed to be watching Lu?"
Lance laughed "He's fine, he's with my dad....anyways, are you feeling okay? You hungry?"
"Nah I'm not, even if I were I can get it myself you know"
"I know, I know, I just want to be a supportive husband is all.."
Keith smiled, ever since Lances talk with his father it seemed as if he came over a lot more bearing gifts for not only Lu but Kota as well, he started explaining that he's always wanted to but the situation was too tense for him to build up the courage
"Pipo!" Lumi giggled out as Julio played in the sand with him
"Yes my Pollito?"
"Mista sand is gooey!"
"Are you having Fun Lu?" Rosa asked from the shade of her beach umbrella, Lumi smiled
"Ai! Ita ita! You know ita? Da oshun wikes Wu! An Wota an Hiro! Oh but Hiro say he don't Wike Mista Oshun an Wu feews bad for Oshun do you Wike oshan?"
"I do! Mister ocean is very nice, but make sure not to make him upset by staying so far away from the shore okay? He'll get so upset that he'll take you away from your Eomma and Papa"
"Ai! Wu Pwomise not to make Oshun mad! Wu stay wid Oma an Paopa an Ita an Pipo!"
While Julio and Rosa played with Lumi Lance decided to go swimming leaving Keith in an over sized T-shirt that covered his stomach making it seem as if he wasn't pregnant at all, Keith started to feel a bit hungry so he stood up and started to head over to the snack bar, used to when he did things like leaving the group he'd have Pidge or Hunk go with him if Lance is busy, but he's gotten more confident lately considering he was marked and his Omegan instincts have been sufficed more than once
As he was walking someone bumped into him nearly making him fall, he held his stomach to protect what unborn baby was inside and turned around seeing three tall Alphas glaring at him one had Blonde hair and fierce galra markings the other had a red Mohawk and Altean markings above his eyebrows and the last was merely a human with black hair
'Dear fucking god'
"Hey Omega watch where you're going" the blonde one sneered
"Yeah you ran right into us what if we dropped our food what'd you do then? Compensate? You should know to respect alphas better"
Keith scoffed and rolled his eyes making the three more upset, as he was walking away the human grabbed his shoulder
"Hey! Don't ignore us when we're talking!"
Keith glared as he looked at the three his motherly instincts telling him to protect his unborn baby making his stare seem nastier, the three were taken aback by his annoyance
"Fuck.Off" he hissed out
"What's you say?"
"You fucking heard me, can a man not get something to fucking eat once and while?" He growled out clearly exasperated
Before the three could retort a hand Landed on each of their shoulders, they turned around and were face to face with three even more angry Alphas
"Is my wife causing any trouble?" Lance questioned sourly his dominant pheromones wafting out in dangerous waves the usual brightness in his eyes completely gone replaced of one as cold as the ocean floor
"Would you mind not standing so close to him?" Krolia asked a spite of venom in her words but her expression seemed passive aggressive
"It's very rude to annoy a pregnant Omega don't you think?" Shiro added his tone no lighter then Krolia's
"P-pregnant?? He doesn't look pregnant at all! Also if he's yours then you tell your omega to watch where he's going" The Mohawk haired one growled out
Lances glare became harsher as he looked at the other male, he was about to retort with a witty response but Krolia beat him to it
"How about you go home and get the home training you obviously never got any in the first place, who's your mother boy? I don't mind exposing your rude behavior to her, yelling at a pregnant Omega is the equivalent of yelling at a pregnant women or did you not realize that?"
He scoffed "All we wanted was for him to say sorry"
"My Mate doesn't need to say anything" Lance said as he walked over to Keith who seemed to calm down once Lances presence was near
"You two have got to leave unless you're asking for trouble"
The three flinched at Lances words and looked at the three buff alphas the blonde growled in annoyance as he turned to walk away his thin slick tail wrapped around his leg in clear submission
The other two followed after him making the situation less tense, Lance exhaled the breath he had been keeping and then looked at Keith who seemed upset
"What's wrong Cariño?"
"I can't walk around without being stopped by prejudice alphas and I just...I don't want that to happen to Kota...we don't even know what Lumi is, but he's obviously alpha material but Kota....what if he's an omega Lance what would we do?"
"Not stress about it? Keith it doesn't matter what stupid Second gender he'll be, it's not like we'd love Lumi more than him or vice versa...it'll be okay.."
Keith gave a small smile at Lance's statement and exhaled softly
"Thank you Yeon-in...you always know what to do"
When the other four got back they were greeted by a crying Lumi who was scared his parents had left him which they dispelled the from the tiny toddler who seemed to calm down at hearing their explanation
The rest of the trip was calm and went smoothly, it was nighttime by the time they got back home and Lumi was very much asleep after taking his bath, Keith held him in his arms and smiled at the baby's hand latching onto his shirt, Keith hummed softly as he walked back to his shared bedroom with Lance who was reading over his work
Lance smiled when he saw the two and opened the covers for Keith to sit in, Keith laid Lumi down in between them and snuggled up close to the child
"Mmh...wub paopa.." Lumi murmured in his sleep
Lance chuckled and let Lumi head before kissing it
"I love you too Lumi"
Keith stayed quiet but his smile still on his face as he looked at his son
"Hey Yeon-in?"
Lance looked down at Keith in question basically asking him to continue
"I love you"
Lance smiled and Keith didn't need an answer even without words he knew lance loved him too, doesn't mean he doesn't like hearing it though
"I love you too"
