Peter's POV

I'm going to miss them both. It's not fair either, I mean I've seen and been through so much with Alfie that to not be here for when he has the baby kinda hurts. I guess he wants to protect me from seeing him like that but…I've already seen him beaten, bruised, and attached to every wire possible. I saw him nearly killed and truth be told the list goes on. I even know what Kuro did to him when I was in heat although I'm sure I'm not supposed to.

Okay so I'm twelve but I'm a smart Omega. I figured it all out pretty quickly. Sure he says he's just trying to make sure that Mattie gets some time with me but what's two more months?

It makes me wonder actually. Has he told Mattie about anything that's happened this year? Or Papa for that matter…I doubt it since if Papa knew anything because if he did he would have been at Scott's front door the day after Alfie came home. Or he would have killed Kuro himself. I mean Papa can be really scary when he's angry.

I remember when Uncle Matthias once said at a party that I killed Mama. He had too many beers and let out a laugh. Papa got very quiet as he glared daggers at him. Uncle Matthias took another sip before Papa punched him square in the face. It was incredible since he went down with one hit. Mattie quickly ushered me away as Alfie started to cry. It took me a few more years to understand what it all meant. Even then it was Mattie that had to tell me everything while Alfie tried so hard to hide it all away.

So I shouldn't be that surprised that he's sending me to the Netherlands. He's always tried to hide whatever pain he's in even if it ends up upsetting me more. Sure he might not want to tell me but I'm sure now that Mattie and Papa should know. So the moment I there I'm going to tell Mattie everything even if it upsets Alfred.

He's my brother and while he's always trying to protect me I think it's time I protected him. From what exactly I'm not sure but something deep in my chest is telling me something isn't quite right.

It's been bugging me since he collapsed in the snow so I've kept an eye on him since then. So it's no surprise that I look up from my book when I hear the water shut off in the bathroom. Since it's my last night here Alfie agreed to let me sleep with him though I'm not too thrilled about the idea of sleeping next to Scott. Don't get me wrong I like the Alpha but…he's still an Alpha.

I'm not scared or anything but the only Alpha I've ever 'slept' with was Papa and that was years ago but I can't tell him that I don't want to. It would probably hurt his feelings and I can tell he's in a good mood too. Since I can hear him humming to himself for a few more minutes before he opens it and shivers. "Damn it's still cold in here." He says dressed in only his boxers.

"Well…" I start with a smile curling up into the blankets.

He chuckles as he opens his closet doors, "Dude just because you're nice and warm in bed doesn't mean you can rub it in." He says over his shoulder as a few droplets of water lands on the carpet. "Though you're going to move over because Scottie…Scott's gonna be sleeping in here too."

Again I curl up into the blankets like I'm in my nest again, "But Alfie…" I start as he gives me an eye roll. "I don't want to share."

He throws on a pair of pajama pants before sliding into bed, "Too bad Dude." He says taking a few of the blankets away from me. "But thank you for keeping them nice and warm for me."

I snuggle up to his side and breathe in his scent. It could be another year or two before I see him again and the thought makes my heart ache. "Yeah…Hey I'm going to really miss you."

He ruffles my hair slightly, "I'm going to miss you too." He holds me tighter to his side, "You'll have fun and dude the moment she's born I'll call you and send you some pictures of her okay?" When I nod he chuckles, "And in a few years I don't see why you couldn't be one of her god parents if you want to be that is."

I know my eyes light up as I hug him, "Yeah I'd love to be." It's funny but I doubt he realizes how much he now smells like Scott now. "Thanks." I say as the bedroom door opens.

Scott puts his cell phone down as he lets out a sigh, "Once we drop him off tomorrow I have to go in for a few hours. They're starting early because some asshole bribed the judge,again." He rubs his temple as he walks into the bathroom with Alfred not far behind. "They fuckin' think I'm stupid or something." I hear him say in a loud voice so I stand and make my way to the bathroom door.

My brother nods as he wraps his mate in a hug from behind in an attempt to calm him down. "You're ready and really you'll do great." He offers Scott a smile as the Alpha kisses his cheek. "So don't worry about those dicks."

"It's hard not ta when they have certain judges in their back pockets." He says with a grumble, "No matter how innocent my client might be the judge won't let me show any of my evidence…" He stops seeing me in the mirror, "Yes Lad?"

I shrink away from the door as his green eyes watch me, "Nothing." I say. I've come to see him as a brother but he still scares me slightly when he's upset.

He opens the door, "It's alright Lad." His eyes shine as he pats my head, "If yah have ta piss than go on I'm done in the bathroom."

I don't know what to do so I run into the bathroom and shut the door. "You okay?" Alfie asks a quietly still standing by the sink.

"Fine." I say, "I just have to go is all so?"

"So you're totally lying to me." He answers crossing his arms, "What's wrong?" When I look down he puts a hand on my shoulder, "He won't do anything and if you want I can sleep in the middle or ask him to sleep on the couch."

"No…" I start, "It's okay." Since I said it I follow him back to bed where he crawls in the middle of the bed. Reluctantly I snuggle up to his side but it's not as warm as my original spot was so while I don't want to I make my way back into the middle.

Soon he's lightly snoring with one arm wrapped around me as Scott pulls out his book and begins to read. I'm curious so I peak over at him. "Go ta sleep." He says not looking up from his book. "I'll turn off the light 'ere in a second." He gives me a small smirk as Alfie holds me tighter against his body.

Eventually he does and rolls over so his back is to me. Safe in Alfie's arms I too finally fall asleep. But when I wake up early the next morning I'm not just in Alfie's arms anymore but Scott's. He's out cold with his arms draping over both of us. It scares me for a moment but soon I let myself be lulled back to sleep by the sound of light snoring. I've heard from Papa once that when two souls meet and are right will sync up perfectly. Even their heartbeats will match so right before I fall back to sleep I lean in to Alfie's chest and listen for a moment. He has a strong steady heartbeat and once I get it's rhythm in my head I turn back to his Alpha.

Like with my brother I rest my head in his chest. Like with Alfie's it's a strong steady beat and like I expected the rhythm sounds close. It's not until he pulls my brother closer that I can hear both at one time. What I hear makes me smile, if I didn't know better I was listening to one single heartbeat.

Maybe he is in good hands after all…that I'll tell Papa too. I mean it's not every day an Omega finds his soul mate. Right?
