A/N- Thank you to everyone who left me such warm reviews and all your encouragement. Enjoy!
Jack watched from his bedroom window as his father left to get supplies. Once he could no longer see the vehicle, the twelve year old relaxed. Even though Jack needed Castiel, he needed some alone time even more.
Jack had been a seething caldron of emotions for a long time now which he managed to hide from his family and this dramatic event, presenting as Omega with all the blood, slick and pain that came with it, explained everything . Jack had spent the last school year feeling like an alien among humans, never quite fitting in but desperate to do so.
He found himself a mascot to the Grace's group of friends, a little brother by association to the teens a few years older than him but he still felt like the odd person out. There was something they had, a threshold that Grace, Beau, Angie, Alex, Adam and Isabelle had crossed, that separated them from Jack, he now realized what that was, puberty, that ever important time in a person's life that ushered a child into a scary new world full of strange feelings and physical changes on the way to adulthood.
Music was an important part of his family's life, especially Jacks beautiful, complicated mother, Dean. Some of his best times had been spent in the backseat of the Impala with Grace, their mom at the wheel and dad as shotgun while the tape player blasted music that touched Dean to the core, causing the Omega to sing along with feeling, fingers tapping on the steering wheel while Castiel watched on with adoration in his eyes. Grace usually joined in while Jack was a shy singer, though quite good.
"Music will make me feel better…makes me think of Mom."
Jack chose a record from the selection his dad gave him on his twelfth birthday along with the Alpha's precious record player and placed it on the turntable.
…
Beau LaFitte put the pedal to the metal of his dad's ancient Schwinn bike, and raced down the gravel drive until he came to a halt in front of the old farm house, nearly wiping out. The fifteen year old Beta dismounted and swaggered up the stairs because that's how Beau rolled. He never bothered trying to fit into the mold of a Beta, scooping up the crumbs that Alphas left behind, the teen fought and fought hard to earn his place in the high school hierarchy and roles be damned.
It helped considerably that the kid culled all the best attributes of his parents, Benny's fair hair, thick, muscular body and height and Javier's big, dark eyes and olive skin. The unusual combination made him a standout. An average looking Beta would have had a harder time fitting in. But in spite of his physical attributes, Beau was laid back and easy going and not prone to cockiness.
Beau gave a sharp rap on the door and when no one answered he let himself in. From the sound of music, he assumed Grace was home. He followed the music up the stairs.
When he reached the first landing the onslaught of exciting new scents lured him the rest of the way, a heady mix of body fluids that sent a shiver through the teen's body. This was something Beau hadn't encountered before and though a bit pungent, it was catnip to a teen boy.
…..
Jack stood in front of toilet, holding his dick and willing pee to come out but something felt very wrong. Urine trickled from his new hole, down his thighs and all over the bathroom floor. The new Omega quietly cried as he got down on his hands and knees and cleaned up the mess. To add insult to injury, the urine stung his raw, tender lips. Afterward he rinsed off in the shower, careful not to touch this strange, new opening. He wasn't ready, not by a long shot.
Jack slipped on his mom's bathrobe this time because suddenly he missed Dean with a passion because only his mother could explain what had just happened and give Jack back a semblance of normality. He rubbed his cheek against the worn terrycloth and then sniffed the armpit, taking in his mother's musk. He considered calling his grandma but decided against it.
…..
Beau tracked the strongest concentration of scents to Jack's bedroom which he found empty. He bent down and snatched a pair of damp boxers from the floor and pressed the fabric to his face. His eyes slowly closed and his head fell back as he was lost in euphoria. The teen didn't stop once to think if this was right or wrong, instinct had temporarily run roughshod over common sense.
Jack found him that way, Beau lost to everything else around him.
"Beau?"
Beau's eyes snapped open, the sound of Jack's voice bringing him back to reality. The embarrassed teen stuffed the boxers in his front pocket before turning around in hopes Jack hadn't noticed his strange behavior. The teen stammered, "I uh, I-I was looking for Grace cause a group of us are having a bonfire tonight and…" he stopped himself, "I'm rambling."
Beau noticed Jack's eyes were red from crying and his hair still damp from the shower. Dean's robe hung on Jack's slight frame like a blanket and he had his head cocked with a quizzical look on his face, reminding Beau of Castiel.
"Oh crap, Castiel…" He made a break for the hallway, there was no way Beau wanted to risk being caught anywhere near Jack, the kid he considered a little brother. Beau had visions of Castiel kicking his ass all over creation.
Jack caught his sleeve, "Beau, can you stay with me until dad gets back?"
"Don't looking at him…don't look…" Beau looked directly at Jack and saw fear and pain in his pretty blue eyes, "Damn it…"
"I can't, sorry, little brother."
A confused and hurt Jack watched as Beau hightailed it down the driveway on his bike, almost wiping out on the gravel.
…
Castiel perused the dreaded Omega hygiene aisle trying his best to find everything his son needed. It was all so familiar; a lifetime ago he did this for Dean, the wounded boy hiding out in a cut rate motel room, the boy who stole Castiel's heart. He missed his wife terribly.
"Sir, do you need any assistance?"
He glanced at the eager Omega then back to the products, "Actually yes, my son has just presented and I need supplies, what do you recommend?"
"He needs heavy flow pads until everything settles." He tossed a large package in the Alpha's cart; "These have an extra channel to catch any stray pee."
Castiel cocked his head, a frown forming, "Stray pee?"
"Yeah, you know, until he figures out how to control his plumbing. It's pretty complex down there." The clerk handed Castiel a book, "This is a must read for a newly presented Omega."
Cas read the title out loud, "The Miracle of Omegas", he dropped it in the cart.
…..
Dean finished gassing up Baby for the last leg of their journey in the morning. By his estimation, they should be home no later than noon and he couldn't wait. The time spent with Bobby and this extended journey home, bonding with Grace had been just what he needed but now it was time for their family to be whole again.
"God, I miss Cas…gonna take his big hog for a ride as soon as I get home…" Dean felt his snatch dampen and his dick twitch so he thought of distasteful things, "Bobby making out with his wife, gross, tofu, double gross, this ugly guy at the counter, total boner killer…ah, there we go…"
Grace waved a package of beef jerky in her mom's face, "Can I get this?"
"Huh, yeah sure," Dean tossed it on the pile of junk food on the counter and swiped his credit card.
Grace hitched her thumb toward the bathrooms, "I've gotta hit the head."
Dean shook his head and let out a chuckle, "I raised such a lady."
She loved making her mom laugh, "You know, leak the lizard, drain the snake, um…what else…"
Laughing, Dean gave her a shove toward the bathrooms, "You don't have any of those."
Just as Grace reached the ladies room, a rough looking trucker brushed past her and he put her senses on high alert.
She whispered to herself, "Monster."
…
Molly was bored to tears, her parents were both working and Alex was at is summer job at Bello's Bistro as a bus boy. The twelve year old tried texting Jack and got no response.
"Man, this summer is going to blow…"
As if the Universe read thoughts, the doorbell rang. She jumped up from the couch and dashed to the front door, checking the security camera first.
Molly yanked open the door and standing there, all 6 feet 4 inches of him, was her brother Sam with a big dimpled smile on his face. He scooped the tall, skinny blonde into his arms and lifted her off the ground, "I missed you, little sister. I've missed everyone."
