"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened."

The room is quiet as Julia looks over her notes. "What are you doing?"

She doesn't even have to look up to know who asked it, "I'm doing a project for school and I got Mom's side of the story so now I'm going to get Daddy's side."

"Side?" Her older brother asks as he leans over her shoulder reading what she's written, "You do realize his 'side' is bullshit right? Everyone knows he deserted the war effort, got caught and made Mom raise us alone for four years before he magically got sent free."

"Cain." Julia glares up at him, "You don't know that and from what Mom said."

"Mom loves him so no shit he'd take Dad's side." The eighteen year old Alpha rolls his eyes, "I mean Mom's a strong Omega but he's still an Omega."

"Wow and you're still a dick." She stands up as she gathers her notes, "Why don't you sit in and listen?"

He watches her as he picks up one of his energy drinks, "And why would I listen to his shit?"

"Maybe because I know something about you."

He stops mid-sip, "And what's that?"

She takes it from him and takes a sip only to make a face, "Eww…well I know that you want to join the army."

His blue eyes widen as he quickly takes his drink back, "How the fuck did you find out about that?"

"I have my ways big brother." She says leaving the room, "And I also know you have nothing else to do today."

Cain grumbles as he watches her go, "Yeah well…" He knows he should listen to what his father has to say but for the Alpha it's hard. He hasn't gotten along with the man for years and he's never fully understood why Gilbert has done but then he's never wanted to listen. But quickly he grabs another drink and joins his sister in the next room. "So…mind if I listen in?" He looks away as his little brother giggles from his father's lap.

"Of course but Scotty why don't you go hang out with Mommy?" Gilbert sits the five year old down before patting his butt, "I'll tell you this story when you're older."

"Aww…but Daddy…" The blonde boy whimpers, "I'm old enough."

"Sparrow." Gilbert warns with a soft smile, "Go help Mommy please." Finally after Alfred calls the young Alpha out Scott does leave the room. "Okay so where should I start at Julia?"

"You can start where ever you want Daddy."

Gilbert catches his son's eye roll from the corner of his eye. So as Cain puts down his energy drink Gilbert takes it, "Than I guess I should start at the beginning."

"Hey…"

"This shit is unawesome and I've told you about it." He leans back in his chair as he starts to think, "Well my name is Gilbert Beilschmidt. I was born January 18 and I'm the oldest of four." He lets out a deep sigh, "I can't do it like Alfred…"

"You don't have to Daddy. You don't have to say anything you don't want to."

"I know." He answers back pouring out the drink into a nearby plant. "My mother's name was Giselle and my father's name was Markus. He was a tall stoic man with a short temper. As a young man he was a fierce soldier…in fact if you look him up most would call him a hero but I knew the other side of him. Heroes in history are sometimes Villains to the forgotten…and my mother sadly is one of the forgotten."
