Completely in love with Omegaverse~ I may do some "Brave New World" crossover stuff later~

I don't own Hetalia!

An Alpha-Beta partnership was not uncommon, but it was odd. IT was much more usual for Alphas to mate with Omegas, who appealed more physically and sensually with their submissive genes and motherly aspects. Betas – who did not have a set dominate or submissive gene – usually mated with other Betas.

For an Alpha-Beta relationship (or even Beta-Omega relationships), the Alpha, while genetically predisposed to be the more dominate partner, often courted the Beta with such intentions, though it did not always turn out so. About 50% of Alpha-Beta (and Beta-Omega) relationships had reversed roles. And in the Kirkland-Bonnefoy family, such a thing was in place.

Arthur Kirkland, Beta, was the dominate partner to Francis Bonnefoy, Alpha. The two had met, court each other, and adopted, as Omegas were the only persons capable of pregnancy.

The two had adopted Omega twins from the city orphanage. Omega children were the least desirable when adopting. The pending Omega's puberty and heats usually turned away potential parents who preferred Alpha or Beta children.

They had gone in, just wanting one child, but had fallen in love with the twins at first sight. Of course, it hadn't been the same for the twins. Francis's Alpha pheromones – strong, heady, and immensely threatening to a baby Omega – had scared them from the room. A nun found them in a linen closet, huddled together. But after that, the twins slowly grew less wary of the intimidating Alpha and his Beta mate.

They officially became the sons of Arthur and Francis almost a year later.

Raising the twins had been quite the adventure. There were strict guidelines one had to follow.

For one, Francis was the one who had to enforce discipline. The little Omegas were supposed to be learning to submit to Alpha law, no questions asked.

They were given household chores and learned how to cook and clean efficiently by Arthur.

The two were introduced to Omega children's games. House and Nest and other quiet games were also supposed to teach them what to expect later in life.

It was when the twins had turned seven that Arthur had an epiphany. He and Francis were brainwashing their children!

Since they had been adopted, not once had Matthew or even Alfred – the loud one – spoken up to Francis or himself. They had always been nice and contrite, not giving eye contact when answering to their parents.

Raised as a Beta, Arthur had grown up with other Beta children, laughing, roughhousing, and talking back to his parents. Even Francis had done this. He'd grown up with Alpha-Omega parents and like any other Alpha child, had never given much mind to his mother's word.

It all made sense now. It had just been what happened when they were children. The Alphas were just naturally stronger, Betas were neutral, and Omegas were smaller.

But now they were parents of the meeker Type, everything made sense.

Maybe genes had some role in how their society worked, but the older generations and the strict regulations of the government were holding back the progression of the future. They kept suppressing the Omegas with values that they were only good for breeding and taking care of their mate, while Alphas were the only bread-winners and Betas, Betas had the most freedom only because they were supposed to keep to their own Type.

As Arthur watched little Matthew make a play-nest in a corner of the living room, filling it with the softest blankets and pillows in the house, and Alfred played tea and house with his imaginary Alpha, he felt ashamed. How could he have contributed to such a thing?

Did all he want out his sons' lives were for them to mate before even finishing high school, become pregnant, and then raise children at home while their mates knocked them around, having them think it was a-okay?

He damn sure had had more options when he was a child. He'd wanted to go to college, study English, own a book store. And he'd done all that. But Omega children – so-says the recently released 2010 CNN statistics – more often than not were already mated in high school, rearing children. Only a tiny three percent actually graduated and went on to college before mating and ultimately dropping out.

On that day, July 4, 2011, the twins' seventh birthday, Arthur knew he was going to do everything in his power to stop the inevitable and help his children become the very best they could be.
