Notes: I'm not sure where I want to take this to be honest. I had an idea and I wrote it down and I thought it would be okay to share it with others. I will add tags though so people can opt out if they don't like what they read. To be honest 2017 hasn't been kind to me. I've been pushed down and then kicked while I'm down sort of thing so this is me dipping my toe back into the writing pond.

Adjustment

Opportunity

The whole point of the supernatural community was to support each other and provide an environment where a widespread network of needs could be met.

Good will and love to spread all around.

Government subsidiary for those who could provide the credentials that they needed it.

Naruto was one such person who both required government subsidiary and who lived in the supernatural part of town because of his special circumstances IE he was an omega.

Omega meaning a person who is desired for their ,mostly, amazing child rearing skills, soft bodies, submissive natures and last but definitely not least was the heat.

To get married in the supernatural community, simply put, was a task. The proposing party needed to have a suitable living environment and income to marry an omega specifically because they had needs that needed to be properly tended to. Of course alphas could just marry betas and be on their merry ways but what bragging rights would that bring about?

Because marriage proposals were so restricted and expensive during the first few years or thereabout alphas had begun to use loopholes to avoid expensive ceremonies and birth controls and suppressants and so on by simply taking omegas against their wills during their heat when they didn't need to ask for permission or pop a proposal because the omega would already be begging for it. Which was why the curfew was set in place. Every omega should be safely inside their home by 8 pm, 8:30 the latest, so that no alpha would be tempted. If you were caught on the streets and taken against your will after the curfew then that was your fault but if they broke into your house then not only would your government subsidiary increase but you'd be moved to a nicer part of the community along with a nice job promotion.

Naruto, to not fall prey to such schemes again, has adhered to the rules as if they were a religion and he was a radical. Despite his best efforts though, unavoidable situations happen from time to time. Situation that just can't wait for the curfew to be lifted at 5 am.

Which brought him to now, standing at the bus stop a one hour walk away from his home, holding a weeping sniffling infant in his arms, a small kitchen knife in one pocket and a small can of mace in the other. He sat on the small bench and watched the time.

20 minutes to midnight. 20 minutes til the midnight bus would arrive. 20 minutes more out in the open chilled air with a sick infant who was burning up and shivering at the same time.

He jiggled his leg and rocked and hummed. Anything that could help to sooth the little boy in his arms. For good measure he rubbed small circles at the base of the cub's back too. It didn't seem to help.

He looked at his watch again and his shoulders sagged. 17 minutes before the bus was scheduled to come. His cub whimpered and when he looked down the poor thing was covered in sweat. Naruto rummaged through his messily packed baby bag to find a soft rag so he could wipe it away.

"Excuse me," a deep voice said scaring him half to death. He clutched the cub to his chest as he stared at the car parked in front of him and the tall slender man who climbed out of it with wide blue eyes. He hadn't even heard it pull up. The man smiled at him, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you. You looked agitated and it's very late, I came to see if I could help?"

Naruto took a discreet sniff and drew back, his hand going to the pocket with the mace. "No I'm fine."

"Well yes I can see that you are but is she alright?" he jerked his chin to the baby who was finding it hard to breath now. Naruto could hear him struggling.

"I-..." he bit his lip and set the baby on his shoulder as he rocked him. He checked the time again. 13 minutes. and then another 40 minutes to the hospital.

"I can understand your caution but if you'd like my brother is waiting in the car and we'd be more than happy to drive you wherever you need to go."

"No thank you! It's dangerous with you alphas." He sneered not bothering to hide his contempt.

The alpha raised his hands in surrender but his expression looked sad. "Of course. I wouldn't jump into a car with two strangers either. Sorry to bother you." He said politely with a bow and turned back to the car. When he opened the door Naruto saw another man, just as dark haired as the first sitting in the driver's seat. The pup mewled weakly and Naruto's heart squeezed painfully in his chest.

"Wait!" He grabbed his bag and hurried over to the car. "Please. I'm an omega but I have a child. A sick child. Please. Just to the hospital I'm begging you. I don't want my child to die, please."

The alpha opened the door for him and he hurried in. His instincts were all over the place screaming and warning him of impending doom but also crying for joy that he finally got a ride. He was cautious and happy. He knew though, that if he didn't do anything and his cub died he'd die too.

The alpha closed the door after he got in and then climbed into the front. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha and this is my elder brother Itachi."

Naruto eased the cub out of the sweater and rummaged through his bag to find the pack of baby wipes. "I'm Naruto this is my seven month old son Minato. He has a fever. I don't know how it got that bad. I asked the sitter to call me if anything happened and when I got home he could barely move. He's hardly breathing..." Naruto was panicking. Minato was an easy, quiet baby. He never got sick, he never cried excessively, he played well with others, he ate whatever baby food Naruto gave him and now he looked so frail and sick that the tears came before he could compose himself. "I-I gave him medicine but nothing was working I thought he'd be okay if I watched him and held him but he's still..." he hiccuped and wiped at his eyes then his nose with the back of his hand.

"I hate seeing beautiful omegas cry..." Itachi said lowly watching the young omega from the rear view. "Your son will be fine." He said speeding up so much that Naruto had to lean back into his seat.

They drove in a tense silence for a while before Sasuke spoke up. "Tell us a bit about yourself Naruto. It might set your mind at ease."

Naruto doubted it. "Uhm," he didn't know what to say so he said a bit of everything and nothing. Or at least that's what he was going for. He mostly spoke about Minato. Talking about your kid was usually a safe topic but he spoke about where he worked and how convenient it was to walk to work from home and vice versa. He talked about his son's babysitter and the other children in the day care. That the day care was equal distance from his house as was his work so that made it convenient for him to leave from work and walk pass his house, maybe get a cool juice to reward his little one for being a good boy all day. Waling not only made him fit but it also gave him the best chance to save money.

He talked about the school he wanted his son to go to. What he'd like his son to be when he grew up. The government would only fund his public school education but he wanted more opportunities than that for his child. So that's why he was saving.

He talked and continued talking until it wasn't so hard to breath and he could see a little better. The alphas chimed in every now and then with questions but otherwise they were very good listeners, they rarely said anything about themselves. Alphas usually liked to brag about themselves and all the things that they'd earned and achieved so it was a nice change of pace. It set him at ease.

"We're here Naruto." Itachi said as he pulled up in front of the hospital. He checked the time, it took Itachi close to 25 minutes to get there. He'd probably broken a lot of speed limits.

"Oh thank you!" He shrugged the bag strap up onto his shoulder and thanked Sasuke for helping him out of the car. "I can't tell you thanks enough." He bowed slightly and turned and ran off into the building calling for a nurse as he went. He didn't look back to see if the alphas had left or not. His main concern was for Minato and him alone.

The little one was hospitalized for a worrying two days to get his fluids up, for his vaccination so another cold like this wouldn't attack him and to pump him full of antibiotics. He took several days off work so he could be with his son as much as possible.

When they were finally released Naruto bought ice-cream to celebrate. A small tub but it was more than sufficient for both of them. Sitting outside in front of the door was a huge slightly wilted bouquet with a simple card that read, "Wishing for a steady recover. -Uchihas" in neat curving letters. He smiled at the card as he went inside and set Minato down in his play pen before he went and retrieved the bouquet. He set it just by the window, partially shaded so that he could admire it.

Notes: So that was that was the first chapter, I hope you all liked it.
