“Do you want-”
I was already scooting out of the booth and dashing for the bathroom, unsure of what I was supposed to do in this situation. At home, I would have just grabbed one of the twins or a bottle to fill. Here, while I knew common practice would just be to feed my children, I already felt uncomfortable. Between Phoebe’s reaction and a few of the patrons looking over at our corner, I didn’t want to add more confusion when I tried to feed.
Unfortunately, my newest predicament worsened as I stepped into the family restroom. Other than draining my tit in the fucking sink, I’d have to return to the booth still leaking as milk coated my skin and dampened the waistline of my pants.
“Kieran?”
I should have fucking known that Ren would follow me in here. He was still carrying one of the twins as he locked the door behind them and stepped up to me.
“Hey, it’s alright. This happens.”
“It’s fucking embarrassing.”
“Which is why I brought you a solution. Leo got a little fussy when you took off so I offered to bring him to his daddy for some sustenance.”
I swallowed carefully, trying not to focus on the word ‘daddy’. Fucking Ren in a public bathroom was where I drew the line. I think.
Ren guided me to the small seat leveraged by the baby changing table before sitting me down and handing me my son. Silently, he helped me out of my shirt before sitting on the floor at my knees. “I know you don’t want to hear this but you’re not just a father. You’re an Omega and you chose to breastfeed. Mishaps and confusing moments like these happen. They’re bound to but they’re natural. Everyone would absolutely understand.”
“You didn’t see the way they were looking at me, Ren.” Of all people, I thought he would get that.
“I did.” He scooted a little closer, pushing Leo to my chest. I leaned back against the wall as Leo latched onto my tit and began sucking. He was always hungry, regardless of if he just ate. When Ren was satisfied, he continued. “I saw the way they were looking at you, the same way I saw your coworkers looking at you when you used to cut wood. Admiration, confusion, awe… none of it was disgust.”
“Phoebe-”
“She 100% knows what you look like, Kieran. She has a thing for big men, though. Nearly fainted when she first met Isaias and seeing you in person is a lot different than hearing about you.” Ren grinned as he patted my thighs, watching our child drink his fill. The love pouring through the bond made it impossible to think about anything else, including the insecurities that I wasso fucking ashamed of. “Now, do you want to go back out and eat or do you want to go home?”
He sounded like a mini Isaias which drew an uneasy laugh from me. “I want to try, Ren.”
“I know you do. Come on, before Isaias or Joel find their way in here.”
We waited a few more minutes until Leo pulled away, satisfied with his snack. Ren stood up as he slid a clean shirt from his back pocket. Hand it to the little Alpha to be prepared for anything and everything. A smile slid onto my lips as he helped me into the new one before bunching up the old one and stuffing it under his arm. Then he pulled a burp towel from the other pocket before laying it over my shoulder.
He truly was a nurturer, better than any other Omega I had ever met. But that was the whole point, wasn’t it? Not falling into the stereotypical bullshit that society stuffed us into. I didn’t need to be the cute cuddly Omega that preened for his Alphas and Ren didn’t need to command and demand my submission. We could just be… us.
“All set?” Ren asked, drawing me out of my head.
I nodded.
He dipped into his pocket and unearthed a small crème before running it along my upper lip. “Should help with all the extra scents for as long as we’re out.” Sweet relief washed over me as I became acutely aware of Ren’s scent and nothing else in this bathroom. I hadn’t even known I was smelling them until now.

ISAIAS
Joel was fighting a smile as he sat beside me, both of us intrigued by whatever Terrence was going to try and fix. Kieran had looked absolutely horrified when he took off, none of us truly understanding what he was feeling until Terrence frantically explained how our Omega still felt out of place. For so long, Kieran was used to the disgusted looks and dismissive attitudes. He expected them. But the way he dashed to the bathroom, I couldn’t help but laugh.
The image of this six-foot giant barrelling down the hall, cupping his chest? I couldn’t help it even if I was pushing out of the booth to help him.
Terrence stopped us, nearly kicking Joel out of the way after grabbing something from the baby bag and stuffing it in his back pocket. “I’ve got Leo. Leo is always hungry. We’ll be back in a few minutes.” Then Terrence disappeared down the hallway as welland I waited. Kieran’s anxiety and that twinge of fear calmed, Joel sliding in beside me.
“What are you thinking, Alpha?”
“That Terrence was about to hand you Leo and help Kieran out.”
“With a pump?” Joel snickered. We both knew that’s not what I had been eluding to as I reached over to steal Elias. I couldn’t get enough of holding our children now that Kieran was allowing them out of his sight.
We both knew that if we hadn’t had our children with us, Terrence would have absolutely rushed into that bathroom and sucked Kieran dry. We would have also been booted from this nice diner for life just based on what I would do to them afterward. Kieran had no idea that more than just emotions flooded the bond at times and Ren’s overexcited ass made it hard to concentrate.
