“Good morning” he said to Missouri who glared at him before serving him eggs and sausages but not a word was said, Michael got there too and smiled to Jensen.
“Jenny!!” Michael almost yelled passing the door and tried to be casual when he sat with a loud breath across the table “you’re back… one day earlier…” and checked his phone.
“Yeah it didn’t felt right to be away for so long and police took care of everything sooner than I thought.” Michael’s eyes moved to the black lady serving them she moved her head from side to side, and Michael made a face.
“So… anything else? Are you okay? Aren’t you feeling sick or something? Let me tell you there’s a bug around the office…” Jensen looked at Michael in the face, could he be more obvious?
“no, but don’t worry, if I find anyone carrying a virus I’ll stay away” he took his mail to find a letter from Rob, it was under one of the weirdest Alias he’s ever read Chuck, Jensen knew it was Rob, inside he found the results his friend and Samantha had got.
There was such a thing as a suppressor of pheromones for ovulation periods.
Jensen found a second note inside the envelope, something Cliff had already warned him about.
Fearless one happens that those eyes are looking far ahead of themselves again; everyone with a hand on the cake will see the fight.
Jensen never understood why sending him regular mail, or a simple e-mail seemed like such a task for his friends.
“Something amusing?” asked Michael from his side of the small table while Missouri replaced Jensen’s plate with some kind of pastry
“Yeah, a friend is asking me out for dinner” Jensen took his cup of coffee, and turned to the lady, she smiled at him and Jensen smiled back, she finally was warming up. He got up took his biscuit and left.
Instead of going to his office he went straight to research lab, a meetig with Rob was needed.
“Jensen… Mr. Ackles!!” screeched Osric at the door trying to call everyone’s attention, many of the older researchers came to him and offered him their hands and asked how he was doing and all kind of questions.
Finally Sam came out of her office to rescue him, she had dark circles under her eyes and Jensen had the impression that she had been crying
He walked close just to see that the distress on her face was obvious “is everything okay?” and saw how she returned to an almost empty desk
“Yes, yes pretty much okay, just.. You know cleaning up my desk, I’m not gonna stay her my conscience wouldn’t let me” Jensen gapped a couple times not knowing what to say
“Come again?” asked licking his lips, was she leaving?
“Michael told me that the research about G.H.R.E.EN are staying where they are, only green formula and green supplement for fertiles… when we could do so much more!!” and she started wiping openly, Jensen got close desperate, there was something about the woman that he couldn’t quite point but her tears made him sad
“Sam, Sam, no, Weatherly has no right to decide over this…” and offering her a handkerchief “isn’t all the research lab part of the A&C fund? My dad’s only?” Sam nodded “then I’m the only one here, okay? Nobody else is going to decide what to do.”

It was the big conference room, around 100 sits, not half filled, there were a bunch of older men and women, some of them with secretaries or nurses, some of them looking serious or bored, one or two were looking around surprised.
Jim was passing form one to the other, it took Michael’s time for over a month to have this orchestred, it was supposedly a coup on Jensen and the new power the ‘pack’ acquired, but if the feel in the floor so far was how things were going to go, Jim felt quite confident that things will change.
He saw his kid close to the door, on the phone he was talking to the red head shrink, Jim liked her and her husband, the guy was interesting to look at, but more important he knew the boy was Jensen’s source.
“I heard! Congratulations Mrs. I’m-changing-the-world” and both laughed, after a minute Jensen kept talking “I heard! And I still can’t believe it!” after a couple more questions about Jensen’s guardian he mentioned the house and Missouri “ She’s always offering me something to drink; she’s always smiling at me…” Jensen babbled on the phone enthusiastically “I just... Don’t know I think I finally grow on her or something”
But Jim knows better, he knows of the rumors about Missouri being Michael’s eyes and ears in the house.
“Please take your sits…” Misha asked all mature and serious “The meeting is officially on session” and clearing his throat while waiting for the members to sit “As many of you know, I’m Misha Collins, Michael Collins Son, and I’m head of the board of the six, and we’re here by request of our CEO Mr. Michael Weatherly” Michael nodded and smiled “To discuss the leadership of our company.” Made a pause to check on his friends except Osric who had been held back by something on the lab, everyone was there even Sam. “by the end of this meeting everyone who has a share on this company will vote for the one you want at the wheel of it, who you want to direct this, into the future, The man who took control when most of us were still getting ready to direct it or the man who was born in the legacy of everything that ABC represents, after all, the A in the name is after his father’s name, Mr. Jensen Ackles”
Some people applauded and some others whispered looking at Jensen as if they were looking an exotic creature, a myth, the Manticore, the baby who survived against all odds, the one who was the inspiration for everything they had as goal on their companies. One of the guys moved towards Jensen while Misha spoke
“Hello there boy…” he had a stupid almost maniac smile on his face “I’m Eric Kripke ” and holding his hand while Jensen tried to get to the podium where he was supposed to talk “I believe I just met you once, when you were really small, damn it looks like it was just last week!!”
Jensen finally stopped to talk to the man smiling bashfully “Really? Were you friend with my parents?”
“I was your mother’s friend, from Louisiana” and his face turned serious “heard of what happened to her... And you... and those poor babies…” Jensen felt cold the next second “promise me you’ll give a couple minutes to talk when this is all over” let his hand go smiling.
“You’ll be the first in my list.” Said smiling while the applause started and he hopped to the little stage. Jensen Ackles is shy, because he’s just this little thing, in his head, nothing important, nothing worth of awe, yet everybody, every person that ever saw him ends up ogling him as if he were special. Now imagine how it felt for poor dear Jensen there. Standing in from of more than 50 persons looking into his face, waiting to hear smart stuff out of his mouth, he was shaking, his stomach doing weird summersaults, his breakfast threatening to make a reappearance but this was what his father had fought so hard for, and he wasn’t going to back out now for fear of a speech.
***
Danneel Harris is a very determined woman, and this is one of those times when she’s not gonna let anyone convince her of something different.
The second she got the papers and the invitation to go to the state congress Priestley knew there was no back down, she asked for interviews and harassed representatives about fertiles rights, someone told her that since the birth rate was so low she should get quiet go home and try to make a couple babies herself.
Poor guy had hell coming on him. Some omegas and their partners were picketing with her, a couple fertile betas were there too, several organizations like hers were heard about all over the country. It only needed some momentum given by a generous donation from a certain company, the one selling those supplements.
Of course Priestley knew now who the owner was, even if swore secrecy to his newest contractor. He was both proud of his wife and of being able to help her.
Finally they passed the bill, granting any fertile the same rights they would’ve had before the Apocalypse pandemic.
“We won!!” she said hugging him and smiling “finally!!!” They were outside the congress hall and almost 100.000 people were there.
Among the whole lot of supporters was Jared who was holding Genevieve’s hand, they were wearing the green ribbons and banners of the campaign.
Jeff was there too, he had Bisou by the leash and was smiling, a cute little girl, separated from her group, she couldn’t be over 15, she ran to him and after caressing the dog hugged him.
After they parted she looked into his eyes “you lost your partner? Is that why you’re alone?” Jeff nodded; yeah Jensen was far from the celebration.
The days following changed Jeff’s life forever more.
“All I’m saying man…” Jared insisted over and over, Jeff didn’t budge; Genevieve and he were visiting Jensen for a long weekend even carrying Bisou too, after Jeff decided he won’t go.
None of them knew how he felt, Jeff all gruff and strength, all stoic pain and silence, there was one thing he meant of what he said to Jensen that he’ll be ruined if Jensen got him used to kisses, because now, his whole soul was empty and dark.
Jeff even resented his other boys, Jared and Priestley for having someone to kiss, to hug and to hold at night. He was once more where he was left. Alone and missing someone he had no right to love.
After Jared, Gen and his girl left he went to bed, it was early but he didn’t feel like pretending he care, and Remembered the way Jensen had looked the empty bottles and then to him, when he was brought after his heat, and he felt ashamed, he wanted to be clean for him.
The second day without Bisou to distract him from the empty void his life was, Jeff was already in bed when the phone rang; he knew already who was calling and a smile crossed his face while answering.
“Hey babe…” he said in a soft low, molasses thick tone, Jensen didn’t reply immediately, and he knew the boy was blushing.
“You didn’t come, you said you’ll come…” those weren’t the words he wanted to hear. But something in the neediness of the voice was reassuring.
“Yeah... Had to stay, one of us has to be working, you know?” he said and Jensen sighed at the other side of the line “Jared has Gen, they deserve…”
“What about me?” Jeff sighed
“You’ll get someone else… from your ‘pack’” Jensen chuckled
“I told them you were coming, they’re gonna ask about you… ” his voice changed into a more relaxed one “you should be here by tomorrow, tomorrow I have this big meeting, if things go well, I’ll be taking Michael’s chair… ”
“Oh wow, really?” a breathy laugh left Jeff’s mouth, while Jensen made a sound.
“Yeah, I’m supposed to talk in front of a bunch of people, is really unnerving” and sighed “I wanted you there, I wanted to see you if I get nervous”
Jeff rubbed his face “Sorry… wish I could… but” He wanted to be honest, he had to, he owed Jensen that much. “Remember your birthday sweetheart?” and Jensen held his breath
“NO! You’re not gonna use that shit on me again…”
“It’s true… and sometimes… hope is paralyzing” the bell sounded while Jensen kept fighting his point “You don’t have to do this, I love you, my boy, but you have to move on, one day you’ll forget how you felt…”
“I’m not letting you kick me out of your life” and softly “we might not be mates, but I owe you so much, I want…” another bell and Jeff was on his way to the door,
“Hold on… just one second, okay love?” he pulled the door to find the last person he wanted to see there “Hillary.”

Misha and Felicia were talking about the new project they had in hands, for once this conversation had nothing to do with Misha’s fiancé who had Felicia drooling, but Misha had no real reason to feel jealous, as much as the red head liked to tease him she was a lady whenever Vicky was around.
This time they were discussing something else. Jensen’s Origin
Misha was sitting on a chair by the floor to roof window, the dark sky in front of him illuminated the city, contrasting the lights, like another sky downwards “I don’t know Day… he was just this little kid not long ago, I guess… ” and turning to the lady sitting on the deep red sofa he had at the other end of his office “after all Jim was very honest, they created this whole technology for the ONE baby” finished twisting his head and half squinting “What if he’s.. you now not suited for the task?”
“I know… I’m just as afraid that he’ll end up in the hands of the wrong person, we might have to make a deal with him, you know who I’m talking about, after all you might be out of the game but there are single alphas among the ‘pack’ and we can take care of him” Felicia couldn’t hide her leer before Misha turned around.
“He’s not gonna get mated so we can keep control over the partners, Day… don’t even mention it”
Felicia sat straighter and crossed her arms “you do realize that we don’t really have any control over whatever Weatherdouche is scheming right?” and huffing “last we need is the precious Ackles to mate with him… after all the day we felt his heat… damn” she said and Misha nodded humming his agreement
“The first thing in order is finding out if he has or not a bond with that guy from the funeral” Felicia played with the pictures taken, Jeff dark suit, stubble and shades behind Jensen carrying baby john’s ashes. “some of us need more than few days to be comfortable tackling the poor guy and interrogate him” Misha had a gloom expression, he was after all a human rights activist himself “After all he went through” and getting up once more “we need more info about him and his… partners”
“Someone dared to ask about the baby’s father yet?” Misha turned at her again, all alpha, like too much energy compacted in his 6 foot tall frame. Something menacing on the blue stare that nailed Day on her sit.
“No! And you’re not gonna either…”
Felicia raised one brow, her own alpha instinct hitting, jaw set, lips pursed and chest pushed forward “You’re lucky… you’re my friend”
Misha turned around once more scoffed and licked his lips “you have a thing for pulling my primal out, Day…” a knock on the door called their attention Mark entered frowning, sensing the tension in the air.
“Am I interrupting something? A hormone all-alpha competition?” and turning to Felicia “trust me he’s far stronger than he looks”
Casually Mark sprawled himself on a chair waiting for the alphas to explain this secret meeting but when nothing happens decides to take it on his own hands “what is it? Why you wanted this meeting and why I couldn’t tell Jensen?” Misha looked at him making his half brother uncomfortable. “Does this have anything to do with the fact that you were around asking for insight of Jensen relationship with a certain police detective?” Felicia got up
Misha moved on his sit, his eyes following his alpha friend “we’re not discussing this before the rest get here…” finally Chris, Rob and Osric got there and he started without much preamble “my other half brother…” started Misha scratching his unshaved cheek “Richard…” Mark cut him
“Speight? Are we talking about the bastard who got his name?” Misha frowned “I’m not gonna share anything with him, ANYTHING!!”
Rob got close, touched Mark’s arm, he knew more than anyone what happened there, Misha and Mark’s dad was a dick, and he wanted the perfect obedient alpha son, the oldest of the three kids was Mark, but had to fight half his life to get the recognition of his father, just to lose it after he was given the O status, after him was Richard Speight Jr., the one who got the father’s name, and he got the treatment of first born. Then Misha whose mother never wanted Richard Speight Sir name’s, she gave her son the name that appears in the company’s name.
“You gotta calm down man” Rob tried “this can’t keep happening every time…” Mark’s roar quieted the whole room, Rob flying back toward a wall.
“Pellegrino!” Day and Osric were on their feet at that, and Mark turned to the voice, the words instantly calming the omega.
Mark turned to the one passing the door, Julie, she moved to him and caressed his face “you don’t have to do this, we’re better, we’re not our statuses” and smiling “beside he kept the stupid one” mark smiled and sighed. Gossip said eight children were supposed to share the same sperm donor, Mark, Richard, Misha, Julie, the guy in charge of URIEL, another girl Angelica Raphael and two more, one underage Omega, Misha’s baby brother; Alfie. The last one was a guy who was saving people in Africa or something. He never wanted name or money and was on his quest obeying God’s wish to help human kind.
Mark saw from Rob to Julie and deflated, falling on a chair “I’m sorry… ” Julie shushed him Felicia had Rob at her side now, and Osric was looking into the beta’s pupils
“I was saying…” Misha cut the emotional moment “that I spoke to Richard, and he asked me to get this meeting going.” Osric spread pages for all to read “apparently we all, as a group are in danger”
“Weatherly…” Christian kept reading the paper on his hand “is this for real? Is he really threatening the whole big board?”
“Of course I am…” Michael Weatherly was right behind them “I’m feeling left out, you know? You, kids with your little game, your ‘pack’ supporting little Jenny. And me? I only have one friend there…” he moved to the center of Misha’s office to face Christian Kane “move aside dwarf, or I’ll kick your ass”
Christian moved his arm and one knee too fast for anyone to see until Michael was bent down with a groan. “Don’t you dare to threaten us; we’re not our parents…” Michael laughed
“Is that so? Your friend Beth thinks differently, she’s going to Jail, right? Judge McCallum is a good friend, and he’d do almost anything for a good merge deal for his son’s healthcare institute.”
Christian moved to him again cussing “ah, ah, ah…” sigsonged “it could get even worst for poor darling Beth and his little Matthew”
Christian moved back “don’t mess with them this is between us”
Michael straightened his suit “the problem my friend is that nothing is between us… nothing, not since that old fart Beaver went around looking for the Precious Ackles” and looking at the rest, “and before any of you get any idea… I have more than one of you hanging by the real or inexistent balls” and got close to Julie smelling her like a dog. Julie never backed down, stance and gaze of challenge, if he dared so much like raise one finger towards her.
The papers they read stated it clearly, Rob and Osric were one hair away from losing their share on the company because of one technicality on Osric’s mother immigration papers.
Richard alerted his siblings on what Michael had in mind, their father wanted him to control everything, and sadly the old man was still too powerful for his children, even if they were playing with the cards their mothers gave them.
Felicia’s share could be taken over in the end, if the pack was put out “as you can see, you have no choice unless I have what I need and all I need is your votes” before any of them could say anything “I’ll deal with Ackles later” and moved to the door where Cote was standing looking intently at them.
***
Jared opened the door of the Taxi that drove them to the mansion, looked around impressed before turning to help his wife out of the back seat, Bisou was wagging tale and desperate little sounds to get out and stretch her legs, but waited until Gen who’s stomach was now obstructing her way around things got comfortable on his feet, a man was out of the house already, huge and blond came smiling “you must be the Padaleckis” he said once he finished the marble staircase at the front door ”I’m Cliff Kosterman, I’m Jensen’s driver… ” offered not revealing his full function at the service of Jensen Ackles “he told me you’ll be arriving, he’ll be with you in a minute” The black dog they were trying to refrain by the leash barked and ran stairs up not caring for Jared’s desperate shouts.
Gen was holding Jared’s arm feeling queasy. “Please be quiet…?” she begged, Cliff got close and offered her his arm
“I’m so sorry ma’am, the trip all the way down here can be tiring for a lady expecting…” and turning to the quiet lady at the top of the stairs “Sara, ask Missouri to tend all Mrs. Padalecki’s needs” somewhere upstairs they heard a screech from the dog and something getting broken
“I better…” and pointed to the house
“Yeah yeah… go ahead, stop her before that little terror destroy the whole house” Gen held Cliff’s arm and moved slowly to the stairs while Jared jumped the steps two at the time calling for Bisou. Inside the huge house surrounded by expensive furniture and thick rugs, red wood panels on the walls, somewhere on the house the sound of a clock, then he heard the voice
“Jay?” And suddenly was tackled by Jensen laughing and calling his name “Jared!!!” and the guy held him tight, hearing how much he have missed him, how much he loved them and a million times repeating thanks for bringing Bisou to him. Jared raised his eyes to find a dark skinned woman looking at them with disgust. Jensen started asking a million questions about Danni and Priestley and Jeff, was he okay? Was he eating right? Did Jeff miss him?
“Let me breath Kid and I’ll tell you everything you want to hear…” Jensen got up and pulled Jared to his feet too
“Where’s Genevieve?” he asked scratching Bisou over the head “is she big? Danni says she’s getting moody” Jared started laughing
From behind them a voice filled the room “I’m not moody!” and with a soft smile “in any case try carrying a watermelon under your shirt all the time and tell me…” she stopped talking when Jensen had her on his arms, and was telling her how much he missed her.
Once they were installed dinner was served and ate Gen went to bed kissing Jensen on her way out telling him how happy she was to be there.
“Is she okay?” Jensen looked at Jared worried
“Doctor Tal told us she’s fine, but the baby is big… and she’s kinda uncomfortable…” Jensen smiled fondly
“Poor darling, you have no idea how much it hurts!” and swatted Jared’s arm when he started making fun “the little one kicks and turns and is like your entrails are on a blender…” A sad smile lingered in his face for a couple seconds “but she’s gonna love the memories after he’s born…”
Jared freaked out “HE! Is a He? Do you know that for real?” Jensen started laughing. Nobody knew, not even Genevieve “You shouldn’t make fun of a man like that…” Jared was pouting.
By morning Jensen ad everything ready, they were going to a barbeque and then they’ll go to some museums and this and that, and then they’ll spend the rest of the weekend lazily around the pool. Jensen even had a plan for Genevieve to rest, and Cliff offered her his help
“I know my boy, he’s insane” he offered to her with a glass of cold water under the sun “my lady does not appreciate the idea of running around like a kid on sugar rush either” Genevieve chuckled, Jared and her have decided that Jared would have Jensen during the days and she’ll have him during the nights, they spent hours talking the night before, drinking warm milk and talking about how life was going, Gen told him how scared she felt not knowing his baby status “what if is an O,I know is not easy… What if he’s taken from us? What if we can’t protect him? I’m afraid he’ll suffer”
Jensen caressed her stomach smiling “As long as you love him, the baby will be fine... and things are changing” and he made a promise to himself then, he’d try to get a meeting with Senator Kripke as soon as he get the chance. “I’ll do everything in my power to protect and help your kid like you helped and protected me” he said serious.
Bisou spent every minute with Jensen but always was trying to carry him to the car, as if asking him to go back home with her.
The weekend flew by and Monday morning came faster than you’d thought, when Jensen was giving Bisou a pill and trying to put her on her carrier she started whimpering
Jared had to stay with her until the very last moment. “We haven’t had much time together on this trip…” he apologized on the plane
“Is okay, we both had a great time with Jensen” and Jared kissed his wife.
***
“Sorry…” Christian was on Jensen‘s office explaining him why he couldn’t help “my hands are tied Jay… ” Jensen felt like passing out, he was left alone against Weatherly, and his conversation with Jeff felt weird too. Sighed and rubbed his eyes, when asked he said it was a headache, things were so different few days ago, with a perfect weekend with his friends.
“I understand, as long as you back me up once this passes the meeting… IF, passes the partners voting.”
Christian looked ashamed and angry “It’ll pass, we can’t help you directly but every one of us and any person we have is lobbying your project with anyone with stock” Jensen felt alone again, Jim had already warned about this , was one of what he called Douche moves from Weatherly.
“You think we should call the police? Do something else?” Not ready to give up Jensen started to sort things out in his head, what could help.
“We’re working on it as fast as we can, but I’m here against the ‘pack’ will to warn you Jay, they’ll try to get to you, please don’t do anything you don’t completely believe in, we might have to step down for now but it’ll only be a couple weeks I promise.”
Jensen smiled even if he felt fear freezing his very heart “Don’t worry, he’s not gonna take all our hard work.” He walked Christian to the door with an easy smile on his lips “but tomorrow is still on, right?” teased and his new friend let out a chuckle
“Look At that Jensen Ackles the party animal!!” and patting his back “I knew it, deep inside you want me”
Jensen looked affronted for just a fraction of a second “What? NO! It’s just… ” both laughed, someone looking at them would only see friendly flirtation “okay okay, yeah I just wanted to see you playing and maybe sing a song with you too…” Jensen blushed hiding his gorgeous green eyes behind girly long lashes
“We can do that, yeah…” Christian remorseful voice let out and he left, Cote saw when they hugged and when Jensen’s arm lingered a little too long on Christian’s elbow. Maybe, just maybe she could have Michael all by herself, if she played her cards well

It was the big conference room, around 100 sits, not half filled, there were a bunch of older men and women, some of them with secretaries or nurses, some of them looking serious or bored, one or two were looking around surprised.
Jim was passing form one to the other, it took Michael’s time for over a month to have this orchestred, it was supposedly a coup on Jensen and the new power the ‘pack’ acquired, but if the feel in the floor so far was how things were going to go, Jim felt quite confident that things will change.

Don’t know I think I finally grow on her or something”
But Jim knows better, he knows of the rumors about Missouri being Michael’s eyes and ears in the house.
“Please take your sits…” Misha asked all mature and serious “The meeting is officially on session” and clearing his throat while waiting for the members to sit “As many of you know, I’m Misha Collins, Michael Collins Son, and I’m head of the board of the six, and we’re here by request of our CEO Mr. Michael Weatherly” Michael nodded and smiled “To discuss the leadership of our company.” Made a pause to check on his friends except Osric who had been held back by something on the lab, everyone was there even Sam. “by the end of this meeting everyone who has a share on this company will vote for the one you want at the wheel of it, who you want to direct this, into the future, The man who took control when most of us were still getting ready to direct it or the man who was born in the legacy of everything that ABC represents, after all, the A in the name is after his father’s name, Mr. Jensen Ackles”
Some people applauded and some others whispered looking at Jensen as if they were looking an exotic creature, a myth, the Manticore, the baby who survived against all odds, the one who was the inspiration for everything they had as goal on their companies. One of the guys moved towards Jensen while Misha spoke
“Hello there boy…” he had a stupid almost maniac smile on his face “I’m Eric Kripke ” and holding his hand while Jensen tried to get to the podium where he was supposed to talk “I believe I just met you once, when you were really small, damn it looks like it was just last week!!”
Jensen finally stopped to talk to the man smiling bashfully “Really? Were you friend with my parents?”
“I was your mother’s friend, from Louisiana” and his face turned serious “heard of what happened to her... And you... and those poor babies…” Jensen felt cold the next second “promise me you’ll give a couple minutes to talk when this is all over” let his hand go smiling.
“You’ll be the first in my list.” Said smiling while the applause started and he hopped to the little stage. Jensen Ackles is shy, because he’s just this little thing, in his head, nothing important, nothing worth of awe, yet everybody, every person that ever saw him ends up ogling him as if he were special. Now imagine how it felt for poor dear Jensen there. Standing in from of more than 50 persons looking into his face, waiting to hear smart stuff out of his mouth, he was shaking, his stomach doing weird summersaults, his breakfast threatening to make a reappearance but this was what his father had fought so hard for, and he wasn’t going to back out now for fear of a speech.

Danneel Harris is a very determined woman, and this is one of those times when she’s not gonna let anyone convince her of something different.
The second she got the papers and the invitation to go to the state congress Priestley knew there was no back down, she asked for interviews and harassed representatives about fertiles rights, someone told her that since the birth rate was so low she should get quiet go home and try to make a couple babies herself.
Poor guy had hell coming on him. Some omegas and their partners were picketing with her, a couple fertile betas were there too, several organizations like hers were heard about all over the country. It only needed some momentum given by a generous donation from a certain company, the one selling those supplements.
Of course Priestley knew now who the owner was, even if swore secrecy to his newest contractor. He was both proud of his wife and of being able to help her.
Finally they passed the bill, granting any fertile the same rights they would’ve had before the Apocalypse pandemic.
“We won!!” she said hugging him and smiling “finally!!!” They were outside the congress hall and almost 100.000 people were there.
Among the whole lot of supporters was Jared who was holding Genevieve’s hand, they were wearing the green ribbons and banners of the campaign.
Jeff was there too, he had Bisou by the leash and was smiling, a cute little girl, separated from her group, she couldn’t be over 15, she ran to him and after caressing the dog hugged him.
After they parted she looked into his eyes “you lost your partner? Is that why you’re alone?” Jeff nodded; yeah Jensen was far from the celebration.
The days following changed Jeff’s life forever more.
“All I’m saying man…” Jared insisted over and over, Jeff didn’t budge; Genevieve and he were visiting Jensen for a long weekend even carrying Bisou too, after Jeff decided he won’t go.
None of them knew how he felt, Jeff all gruff and strength, all stoic pain and silence, there was one thing he meant of what he said to Jensen that he’ll be ruined if Jensen got him used to kisses, because now, his whole soul was empty and dark.
Jeff even resented his other boys, Jared and Priestley for having someone to kiss, to hug and to hold at night. He was once more where he was left. Alone and missing someone he had no right to love.
After Jared, Gen and his girl left he went to bed, it was early but he didn’t feel like pretending he care, and Remembered the way Jensen had looked the empty bottles and then to him, when he was brought after his heat, and he felt ashamed, he wanted to be clean for him.
The second day without Bisou to distract him from the empty void his life was, Jeff was already in bed when the phone rang; he knew already who was calling and a smile crossed his face while answering.
“Hey babe…” he said in a soft low, molasses thick tone, Jensen didn’t reply immediately, and he knew the boy was blushing.
“You didn’t come, you said you’ll come…” those weren’t the words he wanted to hear. But something in the neediness of the voice was reassuring.
“Yeah... Had to stay, one of us has to be working, you know?” he said and Jensen sighed at the other side of the line “Jared has Gen, they deserve…”
“What about me?” Jeff sighed
“You’ll get someone else… from your ‘pack’” Jensen chuckled
“I told them you were coming, they’re gonna ask about you… ” his voice changed into a more relaxed one “you should be here by tomorrow, tomorrow I have this big meeting, if things go well, I’ll be taking Michael’s chair… ”
“Oh wow, really?” a breathy laugh left Jeff’s mouth, while Jensen made a sound.
“Yeah, I’m supposed to talk in front of a bunch of people, is really unnerving” and sighed “I wanted you there, I wanted to see you if I get nervous”
Jeff rubbed his face “Sorry… wish I could… but” He wanted to be honest, he had to, he owed Jensen that much. “Remember your birthday sweetheart?” and Jensen held his breath
“NO! You’re not gonna use that shit on me again…”
“It’s true… and sometimes… hope is paralyzing” the bell sounded while Jensen kept fighting his point “You don’t have to do this, I love you, my boy, but you have to move on, one day you’ll forget how you felt…”
“I’m not letting you kick me out of your life” and softly “we might not be mates, but I owe you so much, I want…” another bell and Jeff was on his way to the door,
“Hold on… just one second, okay love?” he pulled the door to find the last person he wanted to see there “Hillary.”

Misha and Felicia were talking about the new project they had in hands, for once this conversation had nothing to do with Misha’s fiancé who had Felicia drooling, but Misha had no real reason to feel jealous, as much as the red head liked to tease him she was a lady whenever Vicky was around.
This time they were discussing something else. Jensen’s Origin
Misha was sitting on a chair by the floor to roof window, the dark sky in front of him illuminated the city, contrasting the lights, like another sky downwards “I don’t know Day… he was just this little kid not long ago, I guess… ” and turning to the lady sitting on the deep red sofa he had at the other end of his office “after all Jim was very honest, they created this whole technology for the ONE baby” finished twisting his head and half squinting “What if he’s.. you now not suited for the task?”
“I know… I’m just as afraid that he’ll end up in the hands of the wrong person, we might have to make a deal with him, you know who I’m talking about, after all you might be out of the game but there are single alphas among the ‘pack’ and we can take care of him” Felicia couldn’t hide her leer before Misha turned around.
“He’s not gonna get mated so we can keep control over the partners, Day… don’t even mention it”
Felicia sat straighter and crossed her arms “you do realize that we don’t really have any control over whatever Weatherdouche is scheming right?” and huffing “last we need is the precious Ackles to mate with him… after all the day we felt his heat… damn” she said and Misha nodded humming his agreement
“The first thing in order is finding out if he has or not a bond with that guy from the funeral” Felicia played with the pictures taken, Jeff dark suit, stubble and shades behind Jensen carrying baby john’s ashes. “some of us need more than few days to be comfortable tackling the poor guy and interrogate him” Misha had a gloom expression, he was after all a human rights activist himself “After all he went through” and getting up once more “we need more info about him and his… partners”
“Someone dared to ask about the baby’s father yet?” Misha turned at her again, all alpha, like too much energy compacted in his 6 foot tall frame. Something menacing on the blue stare that nailed Day on her sit.
“No! And you’re not gonna either…”
Felicia raised one brow, her own alpha instinct hitting, jaw set, lips pursed and chest pushed forward “You’re lucky… you’re my friend”
Misha turned around once more scoffed and licked his lips “you have a thing for pulling my primal out, Day…” a knock on the door called their attention Mark entered frowning, sensing the tension in the air.
“Am I interrupting something? A hormone all-alpha competition?” and turning to Felicia “trust me he’s far stronger than he looks”
Casually Mark sprawled himself on a chair waiting for the alphas to explain this secret meeting but when nothing happens decides to take it on his own hands “what is it? Why you wanted this meeting and why I couldn’t tell Jensen?” Misha looked at him making his half brother uncomfortable. “Does this have anything to do with the fact that you were around asking for insight of Jensen relationship with a certain police detective?” Felicia got up
Misha moved on his sit, his eyes following his alpha friend “we’re not discussing this before the rest get here…” finally Chris, Rob and Osric got there and he started without much preamble “my other half brother…” started Misha scratching his unshaved cheek “Richard…” Mark cut him
“Speight? Are we talking about the bastard who got his name?” Misha frowned “I’m not gonna share anything with him, ANYTHING!!”
Rob got close, touched Mark’s arm, he knew more than anyone what happened there, Misha and Mark’s dad was a dick, and he wanted the perfect obedient alpha son, the oldest of the three kids was Mark, but had to fight half his life to get the recognition of his father, just to lose it after he was given the O status, after him was Richard Speight Jr., the one who got the father’s name, and he got the treatment of first born. Then Misha whose mother never wanted Richard Speight Sir name’s, she gave her son the name that appears in the company’s name.
“You gotta calm down man” Rob tried “this can’t keep happening every time…” Mark’s roar quieted the whole room, Rob flying back toward a wall.
“Pellegrino!” Day and Osric were on their feet at that, and Mark turned to the voice, the words instantly calming the omega.
Mark turned to the one passing the door, Julie, she moved to him and caressed his face “you don’t have to do this, we’re better, we’re not our statuses” and smiling “beside he kept the stupid one” mark smiled and sighed. Gossip said eight children were supposed to share the same sperm donor, Mark, Richard, Misha, Julie, the guy in charge of URIEL, another girl Angelica Raphael and two more, one underage Omega, Misha’s baby brother; Alfie. The last one was a guy who was saving people in Africa or something. He never wanted name or money and was on his quest obeying God’s wish to help human kind.
Mark saw from Rob to Julie and deflated, falling on a chair “I’m sorry… ” Julie shushed him Felicia had Rob at her side now, and Osric was looking into the beta’s pupils
“I was saying…” Misha cut the emotional moment “that I spoke to Richard, and he asked me to get this meeting going.” Osric spread pages for all to read “apparently we all, as a group are in danger”
“Weatherly…” Christian kept reading the paper on his hand “is this for real? Is he really threatening the whole big board?”
“Of course I am…” Michael Weatherly was right behind them “I’m feeling left out, you know? You, kids with your little game, your ‘pack’ supporting little Jenny. And me? I only have one friend there…” he moved to the center of Misha’s office to face Christian Kane “move aside dwarf, or I’ll kick your ass”
Christian moved his arm and one knee too fast for anyone to see until Michael was bent down with a groan. “Don’t you dare to threaten us; we’re not our parents…” Michael laughed
“Is that so? Your friend Beth thinks differently, she’s going to Jail, right? Judge McCallum is a good friend, and he’d do almost anything for a good merge deal for his son’s healthcare institute.”
Christian moved to him again cussing “ah, ah, ah…” sigsonged “it could get even worst for poor darling Beth and his little Matthew”
Christian moved back “don’t mess with them this is between us”
Michael straightened his suit “the problem my friend is that nothing is between us… nothing, not since that old fart Beaver went around looking for the Precious Ackles” and looking at the rest, “and before any of you get any idea… I have more than one of you hanging by the real or inexistent balls” and got close to Julie smelling her like a dog. Julie never backed down, stance and gaze of challenge, if he dared so much like raise one finger towards her.
The papers they read stated it clearly, Rob and Osric were one hair away from losing their share on the company because of one technicality on Osric’s mother immigration papers.
Richard alerted his siblings on what Michael had in mind, their father wanted him to control everything, and sadly the old man was still too powerful for his children, even if they were playing with the cards their mothers gave them.
Felicia’s share could be taken over in the end, if the pack was put out “as you can see, you have no choice unless I have what I need and all I need is your votes” before any of them could say anything “I’ll deal with Ackles later” and moved to the door where Cote was standing looking intently at them.

Jared opened the door of the Taxi that drove them to the mansion, looked around impressed before turning to help his wife out of the back seat, Bisou was wagging tale and desperate little sounds to get out and stretch her legs, but waited until Gen who’s stomach was now obstructing her way around things got comfortable on his feet, a man was out of the house already, huge and blond came smiling “you must be the Padaleckis” he said once he finished the marble staircase at the front door ”I’m Cliff Kosterman, I’m Jensen’s driver… ” offered not revealing his full function at the service of Jensen Ackles “he told me you’ll be arriving, he’ll be with you in a minute” The black dog they were trying to refrain by the leash barked and ran stairs up not caring for Jared’s desperate shouts.
Gen was holding Jared’s arm feeling queasy. “Please be quiet…?” she begged, Cliff got close and offered her his arm
“I’m so sorry ma’am, the trip all the way down here can be tiring for a lady expecting…” and turning to the quiet lady at the top of the stairs “Sara, ask Missouri to tend all Mrs. Padalecki’s needs” somewhere upstairs they heard a screech from the dog and something getting broken
“I better…” and pointed to the house
“Yeah yeah… go ahead, stop her before that little terror destroy the whole house” Gen held Cliff’s arm and moved slowly to the stairs while Jared jumped the steps two at the time calling for Bisou. Inside the huge house surrounded by expensive furniture and thick rugs, red wood panels on the walls, somewhere on the house the sound of a clock, then he heard the voice
“Jay?” And suddenly was tackled by Jensen laughing and calling his name “Jared!!!” and the guy held him tight, hearing how much he have missed him, how much he loved them and a million times repeating thanks for bringing Bisou to him. Jared raised his eyes to find a dark skinned woman looking at them with disgust. Jensen started asking a million questions about Danni and Priestley and Jeff, was he okay? Was he eating right? Did Jeff miss him?
“Let me breath Kid and I’ll tell you everything you want to hear…” Jensen got up and pulled Jared to his feet too
“Where’s Genevieve?” he asked scratching Bisou over the head “is she big? Danni says she’s getting moody” Jared started laughing
From behind them a voice filled the room “I’m not moody!” and with a soft smile “in any case try carrying a watermelon under your shirt all the time and tell me…” she stopped talking when Jensen had her on his arms, and was telling her how much he missed her.
Once they were installed dinner was served and ate Gen went to bed kissing Jensen on her way out telling him how happy she was to be there.
“Is she okay?” Jensen looked at Jared worried
“Doctor Tal told us she’s fine, but the baby is big… and she’s kinda uncomfortable…” Jensen smiled fondly
“Poor darling, you have no idea how much it hurts!” and swatted Jared’s arm when he started making fun “the little one kicks and turns and is like your entrails are on a blender…” A sad smile lingered in his face for a couple seconds “but she’s gonna love the memories after he’s born…”
Jared freaked out “HE! Is a He? Do you know that for real?” Jensen started laughing. Nobody knew, not even Genevieve “You shouldn’t make fun of a man like that…” Jared was pouting.
By morning Jensen ad everything ready, they were going to a barbeque and then they’ll go to some museums and this and that, and then they’ll spend the rest of the weekend lazily around the pool. Jensen even had a plan for Genevieve to rest, and Cliff offered her his help
“I know my boy, he’s insane” he offered to her with a glass of cold water under the sun “my lady does not appreciate the idea of running around like a kid on sugar rush either” Genevieve chuckled, Jared and her have decided that Jared would have Jensen during the days and she’ll have him during the nights, they spent hours talking the night before, drinking warm milk and talking about how life was going, Gen told him how scared she felt not knowing his baby status “what if is an O,I know is not easy… What if he’s taken from us? What if we can’t protect him? I’m afraid he’ll suffer”
Jensen caressed her stomach smiling “As long as you love him, the baby will be fine... and things are changing” and he made a promise to himself then, he’d try to get a meeting with Senator Kripke as soon as he get the chance. “I’ll do everything in my power to protect and help your kid like you helped and protected me” he said serious.
Bisou spent every minute with Jensen but always was trying to carry him to the car, as if asking him to go back home with her.
The weekend flew by and Monday morning came faster than you’d thought, when Jensen was giving Bisou a pill and trying to put her on her carrier she started whimpering
Jared had to stay with her until the very last moment. “We haven’t had much time together on this trip…” he apologized on the plane
“Is okay, we both had a great time with Jensen” and Jared kissed his wife.
***
“Sorry…” Christian was on Jensen‘s office explaining him why he couldn’t help “my hands are tied Jay… ” Jensen felt like passing out, he was left alone against Weatherly, and his conversation with Jeff felt weird too. Sighed and rubbed his eyes, when asked he said it was a headache, things were so different few days ago, with a perfect weekend with his friends.
“I understand, as long as you back me up once this passes the meeting… IF, passes the partners voting.”
Christian looked ashamed and angry “It’ll pass, we can’t help you directly but every one of us and any person we have is lobbying your project with anyone with stock” Jensen felt alone again, Jim had already warned about this , was one of what he called Douche moves from Weatherly.
“You think we should call the police? Do something else?” Not ready to give up Jensen started to sort things out in his head, what could help.
“We’re working on it as fast as we can, but I’m here against the ‘pack’ will to warn you Jay, they’ll try to get to you, please don’t do anything you don’t completely believe in, we might have to step down for now but it’ll only be a couple weeks I promise.”
Jensen smiled even if he felt fear freezing his very heart “Don’t worry, he’s not gonna take all our hard work.” He walked Christian to the door with an easy smile on his lips “but tomorrow is still on, right?” teased and his new friend let out a chuckle
“Look At that Jensen Ackles the party animal!!” and patting his back “I knew it, deep inside you want me”
Jensen looked affronted for just a fraction of a second “What? NO! It’s just… ” both laughed, someone looking at them would only see friendly flirtation “okay okay, yeah I just wanted to see you playing and maybe sing a song with you too…” Jensen blushed hiding his gorgeous green eyes behind girly long lashes
“We can do that, yeah…” Christian remorseful voice let out and he left, Cote saw when they hugged and when Jensen’s arm lingered a little too long on Christian’s elbow. Maybe, just maybe she could have Michael all by herself, if she played her cards well
