Chapter 141 - 2.62

After a moment of silence, Trey cleared his throat. "Finish quickly kids. We all need to leave in 5 minutes."

The twins scarf down the rest of their plate, along with Wren, rushed to go get their stuff. I was surprised when the twins came back quickly with Addie's things and then got their own. I slowly got up as my body was still hindered by the injuries.

"I can take the kids by myself. You should rest."

I smiled to Zara, "I won't let something like this stop me." I got Addie into the front baby carrier before going to the twins.

Chase and Emit came over to me with sweet smiles. I hugged Chase and felt him squeeze slightly. "I can stay behind today. You might need me. You're struggling and..."

Emit stepped in before I could reply, "Uncle Will is tough, Chase. Don't forget that. He's hurt and struggling but that doesn't mean he's weak and needs someone to hold his hand." He brushed some of Chase's hair back with a sweeter smile, "you're hearts in the right place, babe, really. But the best thing we can do for Will is help set up a normal life."

Chase nodded before letting go of me and taking Emit's hand. "Make me proud, okay?"

They both nodded before heading out the door. I aided the three kids finish putting their things together before getting them out the car. Zara drove us through a maze of vineyards to a small school and parked us in the lot out front.

I carried Addie inside, following behind the twins, Wren, and Zara. I noticed the gaze of every parent as we walked up and went to the front office.

A beautiful, dark skinned female Beta rushed over toward us and locked eyes with the twins. She rushed to kneel in front of them, but glanced to me when they backed up.

I moved slightly to encourage them to go back towards her, "introduce yourselves." They both looked to me and I smiled, "Show her how incredible you are."

As they began introducing themselves, I noticed the woman glance at me before smiling to them, "it's nice to meet you both. I'm the principle Ms. Redmond. We are so happy to have you two joining our school."

"They are very happy to be here."

The woman stood with a nod towards me, "please follow me. I will introduce you to their teacher."

"We get to be together!" Archer whispered with glee as Ashley took his hand and smiled.

Wren snickered, "where else would you be?"

Ms. Springer glanced towards me before smiling towards the twins, "our school is small, so we only have one class per grade."

We went to a small room and a pale skinned woman raced over with a giant smile. "You must be Ashley and Archer!" She said in a high pitched cheer, "we are so excited to have you join our class! Follow me, I'll show you where to put your things."

The twins rushed to look at me and I chuckled. I kneeled down and hugged them as they clung to me. I kissed them both, "I love you both so much. Give 'em all you've got."

They both kissed me and Addie before I stood and they followed their teacher into the room. I looked to see Wren had already run off and Zara smiled to me.

"Do you have some time to talk?"

I glanced to Zara and she nodded before we followed her back to the main office. She continued onto a room behind the man at the front desk. We both sat in the chairs opposite her as she sat behind a desk. Her expression changed as she pulled out a file and crossed her arms.

"I'm surprised to see kids that were attending a really elite school come to a tiny school in the middle of nowhere." She sighed deeply before looking me dead in the eye, "I don't want to be rude, but have you looked into the Walton Academy about an hour south? They might be better suited for them."

I sat up slightly and glared at the woman, "why? Is it an Academy for kids of Omegas?"

I caught Zara's eyes widen as it seemed something clicked in her brain. She looked from me to the principal multiple times with her mouth slightly open.

The principle frowned, "nothing of the sort, Mr. Maurer. We are not prejudice towards anyone. I just worry they may feel the difference between themselves and their classmates as time goes on. It would be best to change their school path early in life than later on."

I looked to Zara as her eyes showed a mixture of surprise and sorrow. "It might be best, Will."

I glared at her, "what makes my kids so different?! I'm different, not them!"

The principle sighed, "but they are, Mr. Maurer." She pulled out some papers from the folder and slid them on the desk towards me. The words at the top of the document sent my heart racing and my mind numb.

'GENDER RESULTS'.
