Good, because I'd feel terrible if I didn't acknowledge that.

[protective_logic]

You want terrible? We say we don't have favorites, but it isn't true.

[ambitious_muse]

The twins remind us of that regularly. Until bathtime, when we all refuse to admit it. Right?

[protective_logic]

Sigma... you are my favorite who isn't in high school. Hands down. Keep it a secret.

Oh, and Alpha will be attending dinner at the house on Wednesday. So you'll have another to cook for.

[ambitious_muse]

I.

[Sigma is blushing terribly and splutters into the comm.]

Just between us. Got it.

Love you too, Delta.

Oh? Good thing I have an improved record in the kitchen. I'll plan on that.

[protective_logic]

If it came to it, you're the one I'd trust this family in the hands of. But I swear I'll never do that to you again.

[ambitious_muse]

You know, I think I'd have a better idea how to do it now. And I'd be glad to help when you need it.

But I would prefer not to lose you. Ever.

[protective_logic]

You'll never lose me. I'll always be right here.

[ambitious_muse]

You've always been so constant for us. It means so much to me. It always has.

[protective_logic]

I'm only as constant as Omega has been.

[ambitious_muse]

I mean. You both have always been here. But you've always been so confident in what you're doing, while Omega kept losing his job and changing plans. It's not his fault, of course. It's just...hard to grow up with.

[protective_logic]

He gave everything for us, Sigma. It wasn't his fault he couldn't hold on to the jobs. The littles would get sick or he'd get hurt or there would be a truly terrible customer that saw him as a doormat and he is proud.

[ambitious_muse]

And I understand that. Believe me, I do. I know how hard Omega has worked.

But I--

D, I have attachment-based anxiety issues. My ability to trust someone to always be there for me determines that attachment.

It's not Omega's fault. It's mine. I don't mean to hold it against him, but--it's so complicated.

[protective_logic]

Oh Dean... If you ever need anything, you know he'd drop the world for your sake, unless one of the littles needed it more. And then he'd probably put them in my hands to be there for you.

I know it's hard, but he loves us, very much. In his own way.

[ambitious_muse]

I know he would. And it's frustrating because I know that he deserves better from me.

I'm trying. I promise.

[protective_logic]

It's... okay to have a hard time sometimes.

[ambitious_muse]

Yeah. As long as you work through it instead of letting it drag you down.

[protective_logic]

Y-yeah...

[ambitious_muse]

Easier said than done, huh.

[protective_logic]

Yeah. All things given, it is.

[ambitious_muse]

It helps having someone I can go to. You, Beta, even Omega--you've been wonderful. And York and Louisiana.

But having someone paid to listen to what's wrong and not only try to understand, but give advice?

It helps. It's hard, and sometimes it hurts, but it's a good hurt.

[protective_logic]

I'll try.

[ambitious_muse]

If you need help, I'm here. Really.

[protective_logic]

It's not that simple.

[ambitious_muse]

It never is. Especially with the family.

But that doesn't mean I'm not here.
