Morning Routine

Omega woke up before the sun had even fully risen in the sky. He yawned contently and smiled down at Terzo and Alpha, both of whom were still fast asleep. While Terzo was cuddled up to him, he wanted to get up and start getting ready for the day. So, he gently moved Terzo, so he was cuddling with Alpha instead. Omega smiled and pressed a soft kiss to both of their foreheads before he gets out of bed. 

He heads into the kitchen, brewing himself some coffee and leaning calmly against the counter. He loved early mornings, it was about the only time the ministry was peaceful and quiet. He hums softly as he waits for his pot of coffee to finish brewing, taking the extra time to put away some dishes that had been left out to finish drying overnight. In a way he knew that this would be the closest to a true domestic life he and his husbands would ever have. Not that he minded that too terribly much, while he liked getting to have quiet and domestic moments, he isn’t sure how much he would enjoy it always being like that. He was almost certain he would get bored of it.

He's pulled from his thoughts when he hears the coffee pot signal that it was finished and he pours himself a cup. He was about to take a seat at the bar when he feels a little hand pulling at his tank top. He looks down, and smiles softly.

"Well good morning, little one. Someone is up early." He says as he sets down the mug in favor of picking up his son.

"Good morning, padre!" The small boy says a little too loudly for the time of day.

Omega tsks softly and taps the boy's nose gently, "Ah, what did we say about using our big voice so early?" He asks in a gentle tone.

Erron tilts his head down and frowns a little, "Not to."

"That's right. I know it's hard, but you need to try, okay? You don't want to wake Papa Nihil. He is very grouchy in the morning, yeah?" He asks in a light tone.

Erron giggles, putting his small hands over his mouth to make the noise quieter, "Yeah he is."

Omega smiles and ruffles the boy's hair affectionately. He sets the 3 year old down on a chair, picking his mug back up and taking a sip.

Of course, Erron didn't want to stay still, so he was almost instantly getting back down onto the floor.

"Where are you going, little one?" Omega half calls after Erron as he follows him out of the kitchen, "You still need to eat breakfast."

Erron stops and turns to look at Omega with a small frown. "I wanna play with Uncle Cardi and his rats." He says with a slight whine in his voice.

Omega chuckles softly as he scoops up the boy in one arm, "I'm sure your uncle will be more than happy to play with you later, he's probably still asleep right now though."

The small boy purses his lips and narrows his eyes, suspicious of his dad's answer, "Why?"

"Because it is very early still, figlio." Omega explains as he brings the boy back into the kitchen, this time setting him in his booster seat, "Now, what do you want for breakfast?"

"It's not early, it's 7." Erron replies, "and I wanna have waffles."

Omega shakes his head with a smile, ruffling his son's hair affectionately, "It is earlier than 7, figlio. And even if it was 7, that is very early in this ministry. Not many here are up before 9." He explains to the young boy, as he opens the freezer to see if they had any Eggos.

"Why?" Erron asks, tilting his head to the side, causing more of his messy hair to fall into his eyes.

Omega hums, "Well, it's because they have to stay up much later than you. There is a lot of boring adult stuff that goes on late into the night here."

"Like what?"

"Well, like paperwork and preparations for sermons and rituals. That sort of thing." He replies as he finally finds the waffles, setting the box on the counter while he gets the toaster out of one of the cabinets.

Erron frowns, "Why can't I stay up and help? I could make it less boring."

"Because you need your rest, figlio. You're still growing, and humans like you need to rest in order to keep growing." He tells him as he plugs in the toaster, places the waffles inside, and starts it.

"Why?"

Omega smiles a little, he loved how curious his son was, even if it was a little frustrating sometimes, "I'm not sure. Maybe this is something you can ask Sister Imperator about later, hm?" He says as he puts the box back in the freezer.

"Mm, okay." The small boy replies, swinging his legs as he waits.

Omega sets the finished waffles onto a plate and sets them in front of Erron, taking a sip of his coffee as the boy pours syrup on them and starts to eat. Omega hums contently, he's sure when the boy gets older he'll be just like the others in the ministry and sleep in later, but for now, he was more than happy to have someone to share his mornings with.

Meet our newest member

Honorary Cardinal Erron

Name: Erron Emeritus

Age: 10

Ooc under the cut 

Here’s some extra information about the Emeritus family au

In this au they all live together in the ministry. 

This is taking place during Terzo’s time as Papa, so Copia is still a cardinal. 

Terzo is married to both Omega and Alpha. 

Erron is technically Secondo’s son but Secondo doesn’t claim him and Erron sees Terzo, Omega, and Alpha as his parents

Erron is the kid in the Circe Music Video 

[papas-being-papas]

Where we are now

9 years came and went since Erron was first brought to the ministry. Terzo and his husbands were just now bringing him back from performing his first “show”. Mimicking his dad, he lip synced to “Circe” at his school talent show. His fathers could not be more proud of him. The group enters the ministry together, Omega holding the door open for his little family.  Alpha lifts the young boy off the ground with ease, “That’s my boy! You were amazing out there, just like your dad!” He announces with a smile as they walk through the ministry doors, more than a little eager to show off the home video Omega had taken. Erron laughs and playfully pushes away from Alpha, “Babbo, you’re embarrassing me.” He whines, the smile never leaving his face. “Ah, let your babbo hold you, figlio.” Terzo tells his son, reaching up to ruffle his hair, “He’ll only be able to do it so many more times, you are getting too big.” He reminds the boy. Though it was untrue, Alpha could lift Terzo without issue, Erron would not be growing too big to be held anytime soon if ever. Though at some point Terzo would get Alpha to stop lifting their son like that, maybe. 

Sister Imperator looks at the four from her seat on the couch, and almost catches herself smiling at them. Though she quickly cools her expression before speaking up, “I take it the show went well then?” Erron smiles excitedly, running over to Sister, eager to tell her all about the show, “It was awesome! You should have seen it, Sister! With the lights and everything!” He explains, his voice a little too loud for the quiet of the ministry. Terzo shakes his head with a fond smile as he sets his hand on his son’s shoulder, “I think we may have just gotten the perfect music video for Circe.” He says proudly, causing the boy to look up at him with wide eyes in amazement. He couldn’t believe that his dad actually wanted to use his performance as a real music video. “Hm, well, let me see it before we make that decision. We do have standards to meet after all.” She replies, even if deep down she already knew what she would say. Terzo rolls his eyes but doesn’t protest as Omega happily makes his way over and hooks up the camera to the tv to show off the video of their son performing. Alpha also makes his way over, scooping up the young boy again and bringing him to sit with him on the couch next to Sister. Terzo takes his place on an armchair nearby and Omega finds a spot on the floor that he deemed comfortable enough, more than happy for the chance to show off the talent that their boy possessed. Copia is on his way back to his room from the kitchen when he sees the video beginning to play and he also takes a seat on the couch, curious to see what his nephew had done.

As the video plays, Sister keeps her expression neutral but to anyone who knows her, they know she is impressed by the young cardinal’s work. Copia looks over at Erron a few times, and gives him a few thumbs up at parts he particularly enjoyed from the performance, and when the video ends Copia claps. “Ehm well done, ragazzo, well done.” He says, “You will give your dad a run for his money when you are older with talent like that, eh?” Erron can’t help but smile at his uncle’s words, “You think so?” “I know so.” Copia says with the most confidence Erron has ever heard from him. Terzo clears his throat and looks to Sister Imperator, “Well, Sister, what do you think? It is good, no?” Sister Imperator gives Terzo a momentary side eye before turning to face him, “I suppose it will suffice, but do not think you can use our young cardinal as a replacement for you in all of your music videos, hm?” Terzo waves off her concern, “Yes, yes, this one is special though, it’s his first and the world should see it.” He says, the pride in his voice evident.

“Mhm,” She replies, still eying him with some suspicion. Though after a moment she looks back at Erron, “Well, little cardinal, will you let us use your video?” 

Erron nods his head up and down so quickly Terzo thought he was going to give himself a headache, “Yes! It’s okay! I would like that a lot!” He says again too loudly before clearing his throat and correcting himself, “I mean, I would like that a lot, Sister.” 

[papas-being-papas]

The Beginning There is a loud knock on the ministry door, causing Sister Imperator to sigh heavily and flip down her newspaper.

“Secondo!” She shouts, “Get the door!”

“I'm busy!” Secondo yells back, brushing his favorite doll's hair.

Sister Imperator groans and casts a sidelong glance at Primo before getting up and going to the door herself and pulling it open.

“I'm very sorry miss but-” she starts, only to get cut off by the irate woman.

“Take this fucking thing” the woman says shoving a baby in sister's hands “it's that fucking soccer one's kid”

“Soccer? Not a single one of my kids plays sports, do you mean Secando?”

“Ya! That's the bitch, Tell him to take his kid, I've done enough.” She snaps, as she throws her hands in the air and leaves.

Sister stands there for a moment, a blank stare on her face as she takes in the information.

“SECONDO! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!” She screeches, waking up the baby who starts to cry.

“I'm busy!” He yells back

“NO THE FUCK YOU ARE NOT! GET DOWN HERE OR I'M COMING UP!”

“Okay! Okay! I'm coming, woman!” He calls as he sets down the doll and stomps down the stairs, “What do you waaaaannnn-” he starts but cuts himself off when he sees the baby in her in her arms. His eyes go wide.

“Care to explain?” She asks as she holds the crying infant towards him.

“Thatsnontmine.” He replies a little too quickly.

“Mhm.” she says doubtfully.

Terzo pauses his walk down the hallway as he hears the commotion and he walks over towards Sister. He looks at the scene before his eyes land on the baby, “Is that a fuckin’ baby?”

Sister doesn't reply as she shoves the baby into Terzo's hands as Secondo takes off and she takes off after him.

Terzo looks down at the crying infant and starts to bounce him to try and soothe him, as his husbands walk into the room hearing the commotion, their jaws drop seeing Terzo with the baby.

“Did you give fucking birth?!” Alpha cries out.

“You think I did what?!” Terzo shrieks in shock.

“You know? Give birth. That thing your mother did and that's why you're here.” Omega asks as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

“I can't give birth!” Terzo cries absolutely flabbergasted.

“What do you mean you can't?” Alpha asks genuinely surprised.

“What do you mean I can?” Terzo retorts, as Secondo runs past them, pushing Terzo and the baby into Omega as Sister follows close behind him.

Secondo races up the stairs and down the hall past Copia’s room. Causing Copia to pop his head out curiously and see Secondo running. He looks back and sees Sister Imperator barling towards him.

“Oh shit!” Copia yells as he takes off in a dead run in the same direction as Secondo.

As they run through the ministry they pass Copia's ghouls (who were playing uno) who look up from their game and see Copia running and follow suit.

They come up on a hallway and start running Scooby-Doo style through the doors, no rhyme or reason.

Sister Imperator skids to a halt, staring in almost awe at the scene before her. She tries to see if she can find her target as they all crash into each other and end up in a pile on the ground.

“Copia?” She asks, confused, “What are you doing?”

“Running.” He says, almost guilty.

She sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose, “Why?”

“Because Secondo was?” He offers softly.

“And your ghouls?” She asks more exasperatedly.

“When did my ghouls get here?” Copia asks, looking around.

Sister was about to try and get an answer, when she spots Secondo across the hall. She jumps over the pile of ghouls and Copia to continue her chase.

Secondo loops back around towards the stairs, and as he's barreling down, Sister grabs his arm, finally putting an end to the chase.

Terzo and the others look over at the two of them.

“Care to explain what all this is about?” Terzo asks, seeming already annoyed.

“This dipshit,” she says, holding up Secondo's arm, “didn't wear a condom.”

Terzo makes a face and holds the baby a bit further away from his chest. “So what do we do with it?”

Sister is quiet for a moment, looking at the now giggling baby in Terzo's arms, “Well, for now you and your husbands can take care of it.”

Terzo was about to protest when he feels both of his husbands wrap an arm around him, clearly excited by the idea.

Which causes him to sigh, “Oh alright.”
