AN: Welcome to my new story lovelies! Once again I've written you all an omegaverse story. I hope you enjoy it :)

"It's a girl!" Neji squeaked as he flashed a sonogram picture excitedly in front of Naruto's face. For a moment the shiny picture blinded Naruto. "I can't believe I'm getting my girl just like I wanted!" Neji raved.

Naruto put down the coffee Neji had given him a few minutes ago. The steam was still rising in the heated warm air. He plucked the picture from Neji's slim fingers and studied it for a second. "She's so big!"

The sonogram picture looked as if it were jutting out at the viewer. These types of pictures were the top of the line in fetus imaging. Of course Neji could afford to purchase one. He had married rich and his alpha would want the best for his mate and unborn child. It wasn't just the fancy sonogram hologram. Neji's alpha's wealth was evident everywhere Naruto looked inside the ritzy high-rise apartment. Neji lived a life of luxury. Everything he owned was designer and expensive, even the coffee mug Naruto was sipping out of was from a notable home goods store department that had originated in New York. For Neji a fifty dollar mug was part of the norm.

Many found it strange that he and Neji were friends; they had met at an omega university. Neji had dropped out his first year at the tender age of eighteen. He had done what an omega was supposed to do; he had found an alpha that'd take care of him for the rest of his life. He married that alpha and gave him a son. Their son was now three and Neji was expecting their second child. It was a common life for an omega, and yet even that common life was out of Naruto's reach.

Neji laughed as he nodded, "Yup, my baby girl will definitely be an alpha." He rubbed his barely formed belly as he sipped at his chamomile tea. There was no more drinking coffee for him, caffeine was not good for the baby. "Gaara doesn't want me to get my hopes up in case we have another beta, but I'm sure this time it'll be an alpha! When I was four months along with Hiru I wasn't nearly this big!"

No one would know for certain what the child's secondary sex would be until a test was performed after its birth but the size of a fetus was revealing in which kind of sex the baby would test into. Big fetuses tended to always be alphas while smaller ones tended to be an omega. It was an insult to tell a expecting mother that they were "hardly showing" while pregnant. No one wanted an omega. It was like wishing them Ill fortune in the years to come. There had been cases where an omega had been carrying heavy, their belly as big as could be only for them to give birth to two omega twins or some cases even triplets. It was a surprise because the other additional fetuses hadn't shown up on the sonograms. Those cases were rare but in each one the mother and father were left devastated. They had been so sure they had been blessed with an alpha only to be given two or three burdensome omegas. A tragedy is how the daily news reported those cases.

"Gaara-san must be excited. Is he going nuts the way he did last time?" Naruto smiled teasingly and resumed drinking his coffee. There was bitterness on his tongue and it wasn't from the expensive Caribbean coffee. He was bitter. The bitterness had long ago turned into sadness and then acceptance. The bitterness still occasionally returned like a bad vice he couldn't quite shake.

Neji shook his head; his cropped short bangs swished as he did so. "I swear that man is even worse than last time! He's having his mother dig up his old crib so he can have it restored. He wants nothing but the best, he's even having a nursery built apart from the one we already have because he wants a room specifically for me to feed his daughter in. We had to submit permission notices to the owner and all this other crap just to get the permission to expand. But you know how alphas get when their mates are expect-" Neji stopped mid rant. His eyes widened as he caught him self. "Sorry!" He quickly apologized.

"Nah, it's okay." Naruto forced a smile. The bitterness ate away at his smile quickly. Wiping it away so that a frown could take its place. "It's about time I go. I don't want to be late, I'm opening up the daycare today." Naruto thanked his best friend for the coffee. Neji apologized two more times before Naruto could walk out the door. He reassured him both times that it was fine. It wasn't Neji's fault he had forgot; sometimes he wished he could forget too.

"Morning, Naruto-sensei!" Inari greeted cheerfully. The five year old was always chipper in the morning. He was a ball of sunshine and one of Naruto's star students.

"Good morning, Inari-kun. I'm loving the hat."

"Thank you, my mommy knitted it for me so my ears wont get cold!" Inari bragged childishly. Two missing front teeth adorned his grin.

Naruto chuckled. The little boy was adorable even when he was bragging. "Is that so? Then I'll have to tell Komaru-san what an amazing job she did when she picks you up later today won't I?" Naruto folded to his knees as he helped Inari out of his heavy winter jacket, gloves, and scarf. He left the hat on, knowing already that if he attempted to take it off he'd be treated to a crying fit.

"Since you're the first to arrive what do you say to helping me set out the snacks?" Naruto proposed with a smile.

Inari jumped with excitement at the prospect of being able to help. The little alpha was delighted with the task of being able to contribute in any way. Even at such a young age the alpha characteristics were already embedded into him.

Thirty minutes later eight more kids had shown up in total. They were all seated in their little colorful seats, munching on a breakfast consisting of sliced apples, milk, and a choice between cereal or strawberry yogurt.

Naruto had put on some classical music so the children could listen to it as they socialized and accustomed their bodies to the warmth of the room. He liked to call this their defrosting time. They were still tired and he found giving them a snack and letting them talk to each other pepped them up for the array of activities to come. After they were done he'd pick a helper and set out the cushioned mats so they could do a fun stretching activity.

Naruto was humming and going over his notes for the day at his desk when the bell of the door rang. Signaling someone had entered. He wasn't surprised. In the total three months he had been working at the daycare one of his students had been late every single day.

"Good morning, Soren-kun." Naruto greeted the raven-haired boy. His charcoal black eyes were half lidded with sleep. He looked like a puffball with his puffy winter jacket and red scarf. His little legs were covered with black tights and red snow boots protected his feet. "I set your snack up right where you like. Hurry before someone takes the special treat I left for you on your tray." Naruto winked.

Soren's lidded eyes opened a fraction. He quickly shedded off his coat, scarf, and boots and scampered to his tray. His lips pulled into a smile as he located the special treat. It was a single gold kiss chocolate.

Naruto watched content as Soren munched on his chocolate. He knew showing favoritism was bad and even worse giving a child sugar so early in the day was even worse but he couldn't help himself when it came to this particular child.

Soren was an odd kid. He was an alpha but he held none of the usual personality traits other alphas demonstrated at his age. He wasn't outgoing, he didn't even have any friends, which broke Naruto's heart. He also didn't like confrontation or situations where he had to assert himself. He was a passive boy, too sweet and terribly shy. He reminded Naruto of himself and thus his favoritism was born.

"Okay class, five more minutes and snack time will be over. I need a volunteer to help me set up the mats." Immediately three hands flew into the air.

"Me, sensei, pick me!" Inari was practically half way out of his seat as he wildly waved his arm to the point where Naruto feared it'd actually fly off.

Naruto chuckled. "Inari, it is then. Finish your milk then come help."

Inari nodded then proceeded to chug down his milk, completely foregoing the plastic blue straw sticking out of it. "Finished!" Inari slammed his empty carton onto the table. "Am ready to help you now, sensei!"

Naruto chuckled. "Okay, let's get started then."

By noon all the kids were having their mid morning snack. They had done their stretching exercise, which had been followed by finger painting and then a quick snowy outing to go play in the piles of snow that had accumulated outside. Naruto had kept an observant eye over them as they played with sleds and made snow castles and crude looking snow men.

Now they were inside, the kids were warming up as they sipped on warm hot chocolate and scarfed down a meal consisting of triangle cut sandwiches and easy peeled mini oranges. As soon as they were done they'd start the most popular activity of the day.

Naruto had come up with a fun game he used as a socializing device. Each week there was a theme. The kids would use the theme and give a small blurb about their own experience with the theme. Today's theme was the importance of silence. Naruto was excited; he fed off the children's static energy. Their excitement always directly affected him.

"Okay, now that we've all cleaned up its time to get into a circle!" The kids were all done eating. After a frenzied rush of all of them collecting trash and discarding of it properly it was time to begin.

The kids easily got into a circle. There was no assigned seating arrangement for this activity so the children sat with their clique of friends. The omegas tended to stick together while the alphas and betas formed their own unique cliques as well.

Naruto smiled softly when he caught Soren's lonely gaze. The baby alpha had been excluded from Inari and the other alphas group. He was sitting all alone. Naruto patted the empty spot beside him, motioning for Soren to come sit next to him. Soren's face lit up. He bounded over and plopped down next to Naruto. The young boy didn't say anything but Naruto could tell he was grateful.

"Okay, you all know the rules but just to refresh all our memories who'd like to go over them for us?" Naruto proposed to the class.

Inari's hand was up in the air before Naruto could even finish speaking. "Anyone else? Inari-kun has gained the maximum level of participation points for the day." Naruto scanned the small circle. He didn't like to make his students participate if they didn't want to but he had been calling on Inari all day. Thankfully another student raised their hand.

"I can go over the rules for you, Naruto-sensei!" A blonde headed beta volunteered. She had her blond hair in two pigtails and was wearing a warm fuzzy one-piece winter suit with bunny ears attached to the hood.

"Thank you, Hana-chan." Naruto smiled.

Hana cleared her throat as if what she were about to say was of the utmost importance. "The rules are that you can't speak when someone is talking and you have to share no matter what! Unless you wanna use your pass but you only get one for tha whole month!" Hana smiled brightly after she finished reciting all the rules that she had memorized.

"Very good, Hana-chan." Naruto congratulated the beta, "you just earned yourself three participation points for having such an excellent memory!"

Hana cheered. Her friends sitting beside her gave her hand fives, congratulating her and showing support for a job well done.

"I'll get us started." Naruto always went first to serve as a guide for the children in case they needed an example, "The theme this week is the importance of silence. Has anyone ever heard the expression silence is golden?" Several heads nodded in confirmation, "that's very good, that saying shows us that silence is an important thing. My story of when I had to be silent happened a few days ago. I was at a fancy restaurant and everyone inside was eating silently. I had to use my inside voice and some times I couldn't speak at all. But that's okay because I got to eat some yummy food and listen to nice music!" Naruto used his (failed) date as an example. Not that the kids needed to know that though. He clasped his hands, "Who'd like to share next?"

Inari started speaking before Naruto could even pick on him. The boy was bursting with desire to speak so Naruto allowed it.

"Yesterday my mommy took me to tha bank with her and I had to be super quiet! I did such a good job my mommy gave me some candy when we got home! Only for me and none for my brother because he cried at the bank which made mommy mad!"

"Wow, what a good boy you were!" Naruto exclaimed. "Who'd like to go next?"

The children went one by one. Each giving an anecdote about a time they had to be silent. There was only one student out of the group left who hadn't gone.

"Soren-kun," Naruto called the boys name calmly. Not wanting to startle him. "Can you tell us about a time you had to be silent?"

Soren stilled. His black bangs hung in his face as he shrunk in on himself as all his peers' eyes regarded him with a mix of curiosity and anticipation.

"This should be good." Inari mocked. Inari was a nice boy but for some reason when it came to Soren he could be quite nasty. Naruto couldn't pin point why but he could only explain it as possible jealousy. Soren was quiet but he still attracted attention from some of the omega students though it was a shallow kind of attention that scared Soren more than anything else. Without even trying Soren was noticed while Inari had to constantly call attention upon himself to garner attention. That's why Naruto believed it was jealousy that made Inari so mean.

"Inari-kun, mind your manners." Naruto reprimanded the five year old.

Inari pouted over being scolded. He settled back down and glared at Soren.

"It can be any moment where you had to keep quiet. Soren-kun." Naruto encouraged the small alpha. "You've already used your pass for this month so I'm afraid you'll have to share." If Naruto could he would've given Soren another pass but he knew it was important for Soren to practice public speaking so he didn't. Plus that kind of extreme favoritism wouldn't have sit well with his other students. Especially Inari.

Soren twiddled his thumbs and chewed on his lip. "I-I had to be quiet yesterday."

"And why was that?" Naruto coached Soren to keep going.

"Daddy took me to see mommy so I had to be quiet in case I said something that would make her mad."

Naruto's brows drew up. He was alarmed at Soren's cryptic reply. In all these three months Naruto had never met Soren's father but he had met his mother. Sakura-chan always picked Soren up. She had even picked Soren up yesterday so he was confused. When had Soren's father taken him to go meet Sakura? He needed to have a talk with Soren.

"Thank you for sharing that with us, Soren-kun. All right class lets set up the sleeping cots for naptime. Retrieve them from the closet in an orderly line. If you need to use the potty do so before you get your cot! And don't forget to wash your hands!"

The kids scrambled up at a hectic speed. Inari bulldozed through the crowd to be first. Naruto shook his head; he had no time to deal with Inari and his poor manners right now. First he had to talk with Soren. "Soren-kun, can I have a word with you?"

The boy stopped in his tracks. His black eyes peeked out from between his fringe as he locked gazes with Naruto.

"Yes, sensei?" Soren was such an adorable boy Naruto had the urge to kiss his chubby cheeks for being such a good student. He curbed the inappropriate desire by reminding himself such an action could be viewed as an assault on a student.

"I want to talk to you about what you said a few minutes ago. You said you had to be quiet in case you said something your mother didn't like? Is Sakura-chan always so easy to anger?" Naruto couldn't imagine it. The pink haired beta was always all smiles; she was practically the model parent with how much she contributed to the classroom through books or snacks. Sure, her smiles sometimes turned icy when she was directing it at him, he couldn't blame her, he was an omega and those kinds of icy smiles were a norm for him. But with the children and especially Soren she never did so much as pout.

Soren's brows pinched in confusion. "Sakura-chan isn't my mommy!"

Naruto couldn't hide his shock. He had always assumed Sakura was Soren's mother. So who was she then?

"My mommy lives far away and she's never happy so daddy tells me to never talk when I'm around her! Even if I wanna ask mommy a question I can't because she looks at me meanly!" Soren's eyes watered with tears that the boy refused to let spill. Soren never showed his alpha characteristics but this time it seemed he was. It was just like an alpha to refuse to show emotional pain. They had to be strong in the eyes of others. The fact that Soren had chosen this moment to adopt his alpha instincts was heartbreaking.

"It's okay you can cry, Soren-kun." Naruto dropped to one knee and rubbed the boys cheek with his thumb. Soren was obviously highly emotional about his relationship with his mother. It was clear as day that it had been weighing on the young boy heavily for some time now. It wasn't healthy at all. Naruto needed to conduct an emergency parent meeting as soon as possible. Maybe this troubling problem was part of the reason why Soren was so shy and reserved. "You can cry all you want, sensei won't judge you." Naruto murmured as he continued his rubbing.

Soren's eyes flooded with tears. Like a damn finally breaking, they burst forth. Naruto couldn't hold back, his heart felt for this boy. A motherly instinct, long dormant, awoke. He hugged Soren to his chest and cooed in the boys ear as he rocked him gently.

"I wish you were my mommy, Naruto-sensei."

It was only a whisper. A quiet childish confession that felt almost unreal. But those six little words had pierced through Naruto's heart. His vision turned blurry as his eyes misted with tears of his own.

He bit his tongue to stop him self from speaking.

I could never be your mommy; I can never be anyone's mommy.

Later as the kids napped Naruto went to his desk and retrieved his file on Soren. It contained basic records such as his name, home address, and emergency contacts. His medical record was kept in the nurses office down the hall as were the rest of the children in his class and the entire pre-school.

"Let's see." Naruto opened up the manila folder and feathered through the index tabs to one that read 'contact information'. The first name jotted down was Uchiha Sasuke. Underneath the elegantly written name was the man's relationship to Soren, his phone number, his work address, and the name of the company he worked for. Naruto's brows raised when he noted the companies name was "Uchiha Corps"...did that mean Soren's father owned the company? But that wasn't feasible. Soren was only five, which meant Soren's father was still young. But perhaps this Sasuke-san was an old man who had married a young bride and had a son with her? Naruto still couldn't wrap his head around it. If Soren's father was so well off then why had he sent his son to an intersex preschool? Most of upper society sent their children to segregated schools because they cold afford it. Like Neji and Gaara did with Hiru. They paid loads of money for the three-year-old beta to attend a beta only preschool program located in the wealthier business districts of downtown. A young wealthy alpha like Soren usually only attended prestigious alpha only preschools. However the lines to get admitted into some of those preschools were notoriously long, maybe that was why Soren had been reduced to attending a second rate preschool like his? Naruto had so many questions but he knew he'd never get answers to them because it wasn't any of his business. He was just a teacher and not the boys parent. Naruto suppressed how sad admitting that made him feel and dialed the listed number under Sasuke-san's name.

The line rang once.

"Good morning, you have reached Uchiha-sans office. How may I assist you?" A pleasant, chipper voice greeted.

Naruto wasn't expecting for a woman to answer. When he called a students parent it had always been the parent that had answered. He was momentarily unsure how to proceed but then regained his wits.

"Hello, good morning! I'm Uzumaki Naruto calling from Konoha Daycare Center. I'm Soren-kun's instructor. Could you please connect me to Uchiha-san?"

"I'm sorry sir but Uchiha-san is in a meeting at the moment, I can take a memo and pass it along for you if you'd like?"

Naruto chewed on his lip for a second as he contemplated what to do. He couldn't disclose student's issues with a complete stranger, no matter how nice she sounded, but he desperately needed to speak with Soren's father as soon as he could. Today if possible. Naruto made up his mind. "Can you please tell him that Soren had an incident today in class that was very concerning. I'd like to meet with him to discuss it as soon as he possibly can."

"Noted. Is that all, sir?"

"Y-yeah." Naruto hesitated. He wanted to stress to the nice receptionist how urgent the situation was but he kept quiet. He already said more than enough. "Thank you."

"Thank you for calling, have a pleasant day, sir." The woman hung up, the dial droned in his ear signaling the loss of connection.

Naruto sighed. He had tried that's all that mattered. If Sasuke-san didn't get back to him today he'd call again tomorrow. He wouldn't give up.

Naruto's eyes drifted to Soren's sleeping face across the room. He was bunched up into a little ball, his small knees folded to his chest. The little boy looked worried even in his unconscious state.

Yes, Naruto vowed, for Soren he wouldn't ever give up.

An hour and half later it was time for the students to go home. They left one by one. Each taking home the "masterpiece" finger painting they had created earlier in the day. Naruto stood at the doorway, by the cubbies where the kids put their belongings such as backpacks and coats before fully entering the classroom. It was located right in the little in ground pit structure in front of the doorframe where the kids left their shoes. Once they stepped out of that pit they were only allowed to wear their indoor slippers.

Naruto waved as his last student left for the day. Correction-his second to last student left for the day. He walked back into the classroom and plopped down next to Soren on the colorful foam mat he was sitting cross-legged on playing with building blocks. The boy was all packed up and ready to go. He had his winter jacket on; his scarf, and his yellow duck shaped backpack strapped to his small back. All that was missing were his boots which he'd put on when he got into the pit.

"Did Sakura-chan say she was going to be late?" Naruto asked Soren. It was only the two of them in the spacious room. Without all the observant eyes of the other children Soren wasn't so shy. Naruto was happy Soren didn't feel shy around him. It was silly but in a way it made him feel special.

Soren quickly shook his head, his too long bangs swayed at the erratic motion. "Sakura-chan never tells me anything." Soren said offhandedly as he concentrated on placing a red wood building block on top of a blue one. He was building a castle. He had been working on it since the final bell toll rang which meant it was time for the kids to sit and wait to be retrieved by their parents. Naruto was impressed, Soren had gotten pretty far along with it.

"May I help you build your palace, Soren-kun?" Naruto spoke with an exaggerated stuffy accent, which made Soren giggle.

"Yes you can!" Soren pushed over the big box of blocks so that Naruto could reach them too.

"Why thank you, good sir!" Naruto did a half bow as if Soren were the crowned prince of England.

Soren giggled again. He shook his head as if he were silently saying, 'stop being so silly.' "You can build this half and I'll build the other. You can use any color you want but not red okay cause I wanna use it for the door."

Naruto nodded as he picked out some yellow and green blocks from the box. They built together in silence for a while. The clock ticked by without either of them noticing.

"I finished!" Soren exclaimed with an excited cheer. He pushed his bangs out of his face as he wiggled his body to celebrate.

"Wow, Soren-kun. Your side looks much better than mine. You're very good at this!" Naruto complimented.

"No, Ma-kuns side is pretty too." Soren observed with a critical eye.

"That means so much to me coming from-" Naruto paused mid sentence. Had he heard that right? "What did you just call me?"

Soren's pale cheeks became bright red. "I-I...it accidentally slipped out!" Soren twiddled his thumbs together. "I only get to call mommy by her first name. Naruto-sensei is my, Ma-kun."

Naruto tried not cry, he really did but he couldn't hold back the tears. For the second time that day Naruto was crying because of this wonderful little boy. Soren didn't even know it but he was giving him a taste of something he'd never have. The feeling of having a child call him their mother. It was too much.

"Don't be sad Ma-ku-sensei!" Soren corrected himself as he got up on his knees and shuffled over so he could embrace Naruto's hunched over form. Soren's small arms around him were like how he'd imagine his own sons if he could ever have one.

"Sorry, sensei doesn't mean to be such a cry baby." Naruto hugged Soren back and then patted his head. "And you can call me Ma-kun when it's just you and me. I don't mind."

Soren's face lit up. He hugged Naruto again, tightly like he didn't want to let go. "Thank you Ma-kun!"

"Ma-kun?" A deep voice repeated.

Naruto's body stilled. He was suddenly aware of a thick scent coiling around in the air, making its self-known to all in its vicinity. It was the undoubtable stench of an alpha, a strong alpha too. Naruto had never been subjected to such a powerful odor. He was minutely concerned how Soren didn't seem to be affected by it. Even though he was a child how could he not smell a scent as strong as this?

"Daddy!" Soren sang happily. He wiggled out of Naruto's arms and ran to the pit where a man was standing. Naruto forced himself to stand, his legs felt wobbly. It was as if the air in the room had been replace by this mans scent. Soren had called him daddy so was this man...Sasuke-san?

Naruto flicked his gaze and studied the man. He was easily six feet tall. Taller than Naruto who stood at a measly 5"4. Alphas were always tall, and broad too. This man was like the prime example of what an alphas body should look like. He wasn't overly buff like some alpha; his proportions were slim but packed with lean muscle. Even through the man's all black Armani suit Naruto could see the hardness of his arms and chest. The alpha didn't only have a nice body, his face was pretty too. His jaw line was so sharp Naruto was sure it'd cut him if he ran his finger on it. And his eyes were black and smoldering. Even the ridiculous hair cut, with some of the hair located at the back stood on end while the front layers slightly hung in his face, looked good on him. It was almost overwhelming how good-looking he was. And to think he had entertained the thought of Soren's father being an old man.

Soren jumped into Sasuke's arms. Sasuke carried the five year old easily in his strong arms. He balanced Soren on his hip as he gazed at him to make eye contact.

"How was your day, Ren? Bet you're surprised to see me?" Sasuke bated his son with a cheesy smile. Even while making such a childish face he was beautiful.

"Daddy never picks me up! Why are you here, daddy!" Soren couldn't keep the smile off his face. Naruto smiled fondly, he was relieved Soren seemed to have a person in his life other than him who he could be himself with.

"I got an urgent call that some things needed to be discussed. Daddy was worried so he came to pick you up personally." Sasuke set Soren down. "I'm Sasuke. You must be, Naruto-san? My assistant forwarded me an audio clip of the conversation you both had earlier today. I cleared my schedule for the rest of the afternoon in order to come talk to you."

Naruto's mind shut down for half a second. It was one thing to have the alpha in his presence but it was an entirely different thing to have the alphas eyes on him. Sasuke's eyes weren't purely black like he had first thought, there was a red hue surrounding his pupils. It was hard to see underneath the harsh fluorescent lighting due to the glare it caused but Naruto could indeed see it now.

Sasuke cleared his throat. Naruto blushed, realizing why Sasuke had done that. He had been staring too hard and the alpha had noticed.

"Yes, I'm Naruto, Soren's teacher here at Konoha Daycare Center. It's nice to finally meet you too Uchiha-san."

Sasuke smirked. "Yes, likewise." Sasuke extended his hand. Naruto hesitantly shook the alphas hand. He felt what he could only describe as electricity jolt through their touching skin. He quickly retracted his hand. What was that?

"Please come sit at my desk so we can chat more comfortably." Naruto managed to sound not as affected as he felt.

Sasuke moved to step into the room but Soren yelled out a protest. "You can't wear shoes once you pass the pit, daddy!"

"Oh, forgive me. I didn't know." Sasuke placated his son and removed his expensive shiny leather shoes.

"Follow me." Naruto led the way to his modest wooden desk. He chanted to himself to get a grip. This was a serious meeting and just because Soren's father looked like...that, shouldn't change that fact in any way! Naruto didn't know why he was feeling so affected by this particular alphas scent? He was on a regulated dose of suppressants. Not because he was currently in a relationship but because it was mandatory that every government employee who was an omega, which wasn't many, be on suppressants. The pills were supposed to bottle up his omegan scent and were also suppose to put up blinders that made him able to withstand the scent of an alpha. In all his years of taking suppressants they had never failed him. So why now was he not only able to actually smell this alphas pheromones but also feel himself being affected by them? He had to control himself. He refused to feed into the stigma that all omegas were unable to control themselves.

Sasuke sat with Soren on his lap in the chair on the opposite side of Naruto's desk.

"I think it'd be best if we have Soren-kun go play while we talk Uchiha-san if you didn't mind."

"Of course." Sasuke whispered to Soren to go build him something with the blocks. Soren hopped out of his fathers lap and sped off to complete the task. "The children are away so let's get to the grown up talk now, shall we, Naruto-san?"

Naruto noticed for the first time Sasuke had used "san" instead of the usual "kun" all alphas, regardless of their age, use to address omegas. It was odd for him but also flattering. "Yes, well there was an incident today. I have the students do this activity where they share with the class in a circle. The topic was a time they had to be silent. Soren-kun shared a disturbing story with the class." Naruto was getting emotional thinking about it again. "He expressed that when he visited his mother he was asked to be quiet because if he said anything she'd get mad. It worried me that there might be emotional abuse or even possibly physical abuse going on."

Sasuke pursed his lips. His expression became more and more clouded as Naruto spoke. The alpha was angry and it was obvious by the sudden sharp hitch in his scent. It instantly made Naruto shrink in on him self. It was so strong, he had a strange desire to soothe the alpha but another instinctive urge to hide.

"Did anything else happen?"

Naruto nodded quickly, he swallowed thickly. He couldn't let himself be frightened. "Yes, Soren-kun had an emotional breakdown. He cried in the middle of class."

Sasuke's scent had gotten even stronger. Naruto had to dig his fingers into the underside of his thighs to stop himself from doing anything rash like prostrating him self at Sasuke's feet to show submissiveness. This was crazy! Naruto considered himself a tough omega. He could handle alphas but Sasuke was on a different level. Even Soren had turned a curious gaze their way. As a child he wasn't nearly as affected by scents let off by alphas or omegas. All children had a built in "nose plug" so to speak which blocked off scents and their effects until they turned thirteen. They could smell of course, but the scents of alphas and omegas were extremely dulled down. It was like natures own version of suppressants. So the fact that his fathers scent managed to reach him was telling in how strong the scent Sasuke was letting off was.

"Sasuke-san-" Naruto couldn't stand it much longer. He needed to open a window. It'd let the heat out and the cold air in but it'd be better than this.

"Sorry." Sasuke regained his cool. He truly looked apologetic. He ran a hand through his silky raven locks. A habit that Soren had apparently inherited from his father because it was exactly the same way Soren did it. "It irritates me to hear that Soren is so affected by that bitch." Sasuke whispered harshly so that his son didn't have to hear him use foul language. I only take him to see her once a month. I try to keep the contact between them minimal. If it were up to me she wouldn't get to see him at all! Even after all this time she still manages to negatively affect him!" Sasuke's voice raised an octave. It startled Naruto. He automatically recoiled back. The action calmed Sasuke down, made him aware of the volume of his voice. "Sorry again," Sasuke ran his hand through his hair in the same effortless manner as before. "It's stressing to know how affected he is. He doesn't cry easily so I know it's really bothering him."

"That's okay, Uchiha-san. What matters is that now we know how Soren-kun feels." Naruto said in a soothing voice. He was trying to get his own heart to beat normally again.

Sasuke sighed. He looked at Naruto, sort of perplexed. "You're very good at this you know?"

"Huh?"

"Calming an alpha down. You're good at it. I'm surprised you don't have a mate yet."

Naruto blushed. Sasuke had checked his neck for signs of a mating mark? Or had he scented him to see if he could smell his mate on him? Both were inappropriate and crossing boundary lines that were not to be crossed by a teacher and their student's parent.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scent you its just-" Sasuke paused, "never mind. Sorry."

Naruto self-consciously rubbed at his wrist. So Sasuke had scented him? Knowing that an alpha like Sasuke had scented him made Naruto feel odd. He was happy but he knew he shouldn't be happy about it seeing as Sasuke was in a relationship already and completely out of his league. But more importantly what had Sasuke stopped himself from saying?

"Daddy I finished!" Sore ran up and pulled on his father's arm. He hadn't built anything instead he had been drawing. Soren pushed the drawing into his fathers face, proudly showing off his brilliant artwork.

Sasuke smiled at his son's enthusiastic behavior. "Let me see." Sasuke grabbed the paper and pulled it away from his face so he could get a better look at it. Naruto noticed the alpha's eyes widen a fraction. "It's very nice, Ren."

Soren beamed happily. "I'm going to draw more!" He ran off and went back to his stack of blank papers and crayons on the foam mat.

Naruto was curious. What had elicited that response from Sasuke? "What did he draw?" Naruto inquired politely.

Sasuke hesitated for a moment then turned the paper so Naruto could see.

Naruto could not hold back his surprise like Sasuke had. Soren had drawn all three of them. Sasuke was a black blob with his hair sticking up in its characteristic spiked style at the back of his head. Soren had drawn himself beside his father. He was a black blob too but much smaller and he had made his hair longer. Naruto was standing next to him. He was a yellow blob with two bright blue eyes. Underneath the three blobs Soren had messily scribbled the kanji for 'family'.

"It's-"Naruto didn't know what to say. He was embarrassed but also deeply flattered that Soren saw him as his family.

Sasuke put the paper down. Naruto couldn't read the alphas face. Was Sasuke mad? Concerned? Maybe even disgusted? "My son called you Ma-kun when I walked in here. What was that about?"

Naruto dropped his eyes to his lap. He hadn't realized Sasuke had overheard. "It's just a silly nickname Soren-kun gave me." Naruto tried to make it seem like it was no big deal.

"Do the other students call you Ma-kun?" Sasuke asked. His face was still an unreadable mask.

"Eh-no! It's only Soren-kun. He barely started calling me by that nickname today! I've told him to only call me it in private but I'll understand if you'd like for me to tell him to stop calling me it altogether!" Naruto panicked. He should've told Soren not to call him that since it was inappropriate but the nickname had made him so happy he couldn't help himself.

Sasuke shook his head. "No, it's fine." Sasuke smiled softly. "It's relieving to know Soren has formed a motherly bond with someone. He doesn't have one with his mother and no matter what girl I date and bring home he never sees them as a motherly figure. I was worried that because both his parents are alphas he'd be unable to form that motherly bond with anyone."

Two alphas? That was rare. But no matter, Naruto was relieved Sasuke had no qualms about Soren referring to him as his mother. "I'm happy to hear that Soren was able to."

Suddenly the beeping sound of a ringtone erupted. It was Sasuke's phone. He dug out the fancy device from his inner suit jacket pocket. It was just like Neji's phone. It was the newest model and cost as much as a car.

"Hello." As soon as Sasuke said hello a miniature hologram of Sakura's face projected out of the phone. It was a new feature. The phone owner could choose certain contacts whose hologram would automatically pop up when answered.

Sakura's holographic face was make-up free and she had a towel wrapped up on her head. She had obviously just gotten out of the shower. Naruto averted his eyes just in case she was naked.

"What is it?" Sasuke didn't appear unfazed at Sakura's current state of dress. Of course he wouldn't be, Naruto reminded himself that Sakura was Sasuke's girlfriend and he had probably seen her naked numerous times already.

"Just calling to make sure you picked up Soren-kun." Sakura's voice was airy and light as she spoke. Naruto noted that she pitched her voice up slightly when talking to Sasuke compared to when talking to him.

"I'm here now." Sasuke moved the phone to show Soren who was crouched on the floor coloring furiously. "I'll see you later, I'm in the middle of a discussion with Soren's teacher."

"Okay! See you tonight. Oh, and if you can make a stop at the grocery store please do. I made pasta but there's no garlic bread."

Sasuke nodded then hung up. "Sorry about that."

Naruto shook his head, "Don't worry about it, it's completely fine."

"I better get going." Sasuke stood; he looked to be thinking for a moment then spoke again, "can I get your number?"

Naruto sputtered as he tried not to blush at the directness of Sasuke's request. "I don't give my number out to students parents."

Sasuke smirked, "I didn't mean it like that, Naruto-sensei." Sasuke put emphasis on Naruto's teacher title as if he were teasing him, "I want it so you can contact me directly in case Soren has another episode."

"Oh." Naruto was beyond embarrassed. He wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. He had gotten ahead of himself. Just because Sasuke had scented him earlier didn't mean the alpha was interested. "If it's for that then yes you can have my number." Naruto took a bright yellow sticky note and jotted down his phone digits. He handed it to Sasuke avoiding making eye contact. He was still far too embarrassed to look Sasuke in the eyes.

"Thank you. I'll text you later. Please save my number when I do."

Naruto nodded.

"Ren, pack it up. We're leaving."

"But I'm not done with my drawing yet, daddy!" Soren whined.

"That's okay. You can bring it with you. If you get done with your bath early I'll let you finish it after."

Soren grumbled as he folded up his drawing. It was the best deal he was going to get and he knew it so he complied.

"Come say goodbye to your sensei."

Soren easily perked back up. He skipped and hugged Naruto's legs. He looked up and beckoned Naruto to bend to his level so he could whisper something in his ear.

Naruto smiled and folded so he was sitting on his knees. "What is it, Soren-kun?"

"I love you, Ma-kun. I'll see you tomorrow!" Soren whispered loudly due to his excitement. It allowed Sasuke to overhear what he had said.

Naruto's heart softened. He hugged Soren, refraining from kissing his cheeks since he wasn't allowed, "I love you too, Soren-kun. I'll see you tomorrow."

If Naruto had looked up he would've noticed Sasuke staring at them as if he was witnessing the loveliest thing he had ever seen in all his life.

Hiiii guys! I'm back once again with another omegaverse story! This fic is very fun to write so I really hope it was fun to read! I don't have chapters pre-written like I do with some of my other stories so I'm worried since I'll have to stay interested in this plot in order for me to keep a timely updating schedule. (The next chapter hasn't even been written yet and tbh thats freaking me out lol) If you guys liked this fic let me know because knowing what you guys think will really help me to write more.

Also sorry if this type plot is "overdone" or "cheesy", I've read a few manga with basic plots like this and I've loved every single one so I thought why not give it a try? Hopefully I can make it more interesting so it'll be a little less basic lol

Side note: I got "Ma-kun" from my fav omegaverse manga isn't it so cute? , oh and a HUGE thank you to my tumblr peeps for helping me out with the preschool stuff since I am completely clueless when it comes to children activities at school heh
