"Its negative"
Damn, thank goodness! I really thought I was screwed!
"I'm happy, now there's no problem!" I took a sigh of relief, though looking at her face she seemed a little disappointed.
"Are you sure Alex?" She asked the dude.
"Yeah, there's nothing" the guy replied "Why, were you expecting something?"
"Ofcourse not! I have yet to finish college and get a job, I can't afford getting a kid on my hands right now!" I replied cheerfully, oh come to think of it..this guy, I thought he's an alpha..but he's an omega and father said he's pregnant? I've never seen one before, omegas are not that common..so you don't come across a pregnant one that often on top of it a male one.
Without realizing I had squatted down infront of his stomach.
"What are ya doing?" He raised a brow at me.
EH? What am I doing!!! I immediately fell back
"Sorry! sorry! I was just curious! I've never seen a pregnant guy..I mean I've seen plenty beta females..but not omegas..!" I admitted honestly, wow, recently I'm getting quite honest aren't I?
"Well..yeah, omegas aren't that much of a common sight.." He said in a tired voice "Go ahead, besides, its not like its unrelated to you..this will be technically your sibling no?"
I suddenly realized! He's damn right! that! inside him, its my sibling! oh my gosh this realization, why didn't I have it before! I'm going to have a sister or brother! I'm an only kid so I kinda always wanted one but dad isn't a plant that could give me one asexually so I didn't bother but wow!
I sat back in awe, with glittery eyes touching his tummy, he seemed a little wary of her but allowed me to do so. What's he so scared of anyway, Aoi san wouldn't harm....
A sudden chill ran down my spine when I turned to look at Aoi san's face, I couldn't tell what it was exactly but there was this aura about her...? anger?...or....blood lust?
No what am I thinking..! She won't harm anyone..besides this guy is her friend isn't he...
no...wait...dad told me once, with pregnant omegas... it's dangerous because some alphas might get jealous...
"Aoi san! why don't you go check up on father upstairs? I don't know what he's doing but I don't know if he can handle it alone" I said kind of holding up a casual expression. Wow what I said sounds stupid in my head too, it's pretty obvious I'm trying to get her to leave.
She didn't say a word, just gave me a look and walked up the stairs. Only after she left the guy gave out sighs of relief and I noticed he was holding a scalpel in his hand behind his back, which he put down after she left.
Wait, he was that intimidated?! His face didn't show it, he's good at controlling his expression.
"You okay? you look quite suffocated.." I asked
"She just seemed hostile.. I was recently attacked by another alpha so..." He replied
"Eh! it's that tough?!" I asked
"No, its not that, just some alphas are dangerous to be close to in this state, you just know it" He said with a smile."Anyway, she might just not be in a good mood..forget that, tell me how was it?"
"How was what?" I tilted my head.
"The experience with her, it was your first time right?" He asked
My confused face suddenly went up all red
"T...TWAS..OKAY!" I said in an obvious embarrassed state.
"Heh, so you liked it hmm?" He smirked a little "Though I always thought she's the wild kind that would end up breaking someone"
"She's!" I tried to speak, though I can't really deny that, I thought I'd die but how does he know "Did you..with her..?" I ended up saying without thinking first "No sorry I don't mean..!"
He seemed surprised at the question first but then smiled "She did use to help me with my heats..but not in the way you think"
What does he mean by that? help in his heats? what? how
"It's all over you face by the way, that you desperately want to know what I mean by that" He chuckled
"No...I..!" I couldn't really deny it.
"She gave me blood samples..well it helped me invent a serum that could help omegas achieve climax, the experience of knotting with just a drug..but it was a total failed experiment, the side effects were quite intense but somehow the thing was success when I used it on you" He told,
... so like I don't understand technical stuffs but, he means that I'm special for her right?
"Also I was trying to get pregnant for the longest time ever so she was giving me samples for artificial insemination too, well honestly speaking, right now is a miracle...I really had no hope after the accident in my childhood..the damage was permanent, even my original partner couldn't succeed, I did try to get artificial insemination as well but no gain....." He said placing a hand on his stomach "Originally with Zhuang.... I used protection but.. I was just using it on a whim... I couldn't believe when the result of artificial insemination came positive..as wimpy as it sounds, I was really emotional when I saw the result.. though I haven't cried in years, so emotional was all I got"
Wow..seems like alot of stuff, this guy's probably been through alot..but why is he telling me that? we barely know eachother and I don't understand most of the stuffs anyway..
((Note: Pregnant omegas often feel comfortable in presence of other omegas and tend to open up with them in sharing their stores and getting all comfortable))
"I am happy too..a sibling, I'd like one" I smiled at him gently, he seemed like a nice person to me anyway, I was told he helped me back during my heat when Aoi san attacked me "What about you and father?"
"What about us?" He asked in confusion
"What is your relationship right now?" I asked shifting eyes
"Us? I don't think there's anything...he's probably staying with me because there's nowhere to go and well..its convenient because I needed someone to handle the house work.." He replied.
"Wait what? Didn't you guys do it because you liked eachother?" I asked and he gave me a look then ended up smiling.
"You're innocent" He said "Not always...when people do it, it's not always because they are in love"
"So he forced you too like he did with dad?" I said quite horrified
He was quite surprised, looking at me as if I was too young for a proper explanation.
"There hasn't been a man or woman born yet who can force me" He laughed ruffling up my hair "well at least not physically..."
I pouted at the childish treatment "I don't understand, how can one make love without love unless it is forced?" I asked
He shook his head "Adults do alot of meaningless stuffs"
"Then I don't want to be an adult" I said quite emotionally "You don't like father?" I asked honestly
"I don't particularly like or hate him..besides...it's too much wishful thinking, the idea of love is too much youthful thinking... I know better, people betray you in blink of an eye, they trample over your heart and..." He halted, his eyes widened he raised his hands, little drops of tears began to drip on his palms "Eh..why..." He seemed to not understand what was happening to him, it was almost as if tears that he had held back for a long long time suddenly began to overflow and broke the brim.
I ended up moving closer to him and hugging him, he was still clueless, as if he thought it wasn't his tears, they came without his will
"It's okay" I said, the word almost triggered him and he slipped arms tightly up my back and sobbed silently in my chest
Well...I don't know what happened to him but... "It's fine now.." I whispered to him while rubbing down his back
"Alex?" Father said and suddenly walked down stairs in a rush, I parted from the hug, somewhere along the line I got emotional too so some tears came in my eyes as well
"What happened" He asked almost in a panicked state while sitting on his knees and holding Alex's face "Are you hurting anywhere? where does it hurt?" He seemed quite scared.
"Father" I tapped his shoulder and whispered to him "He's just having a moment..."
Father didn't seem to get it but nevertheless he hugged him, he kissed alex's forehead multiple times and his hands as well
I couldn't help but smile, why was he saying they aren't like that? to me it looks like they do like eachother, atleast father does.
Now then...I slowly stepped away...let's give them some space...
I walked back upstairs, Aoi san stabbed an apple, sheesh she doesn't know how to cut one at all, does she?
"Aoi san" I called and she turned around with a real mortified expression hiding the knife behind her back...oh? is she that embarrassed that she can't cut an apple? jeez..she's a kid inside..
"You don't have to hide, let me show you how to cut the apple" I said, he seemed like I said something absurd but slowly she approached her hand and handed the knife over to me
I took her place at the shelf and peeled the apple first, she watched me from the back, though she suddenly did gave me a scare with the back hug..she's such a romantic, what do I do with her?
"Natsu..."
"Hmm..?"
She called me out but then quietened herself, I cut the apple for her in a plate and then turned to facing her with my back resting against the shelf.
"What is it?" I said facing her, she rested her head on my shoulder "You feeling unwell?" I asked placing my hand at the back of her head
"You...say that again, what you said that day" She mumbled
"Say what?" I asked, maybe I should take her to doctor, she doesn't feel well.
"Tell me you love me" She said
"YOU'RE ASKING FOR TOO MUCH!" I replied abruptly getting really flustered.
She lifted her head and cupped my cheeks, looking at me with those blazing blue eyes that sometimes.... scare me...
"Please" She said desperately.
Her eyes, they have the same feeling to them..like that day in the hotel...when she came at me..at that time too...there was a certain icy feeling to these eyes.
"I..." I stuttered and clenched my fists, I could tell even without looking that my face was probably really red "I love...you" I said, she suddenly lurched at me and kissed my lips, my cheek, my neck and then all over again "oye! stop its not home!" I whispered getting all embarrassed.
I felt a cold object against my back in the hug "Oh Aoi san, put the knife down, I might accidentally get hurt" I said stopping her face between my hands, she blinked rapidly and dropped the knife "jeez you're so careless" I giggled a bit, i guess she's cute sometimes
I squished her face like a fish in my hands and gave a peck on those lips, she was taken by surprise perhaps, so she gave an unfamiliar expression but I kind of am in the mood.
"Let's...go somewhere..." I said retrieving my hands "I want you to hold me" I said hiding my face and peeking through my fingers.
Her eyes became all glittery and I could see her pale cheeks redden up a little..she had been blank for a while earlier but now it was as if life came back into her and she nodded
"Me too, Natsuro kun..." She gave a bright smile..oh this is the second time I've seen her smile like that..well thank goodness, she looked kinds sick a few moments ago but now she's back to normal.
"I love you too much I don't know what to do with myself" She said.
"You're so cheesy.." I said pouting "let's go.. I can't wait any longer.." I said taking her hand and making an escape..
I guess I've changed...Alot....yeah, I have...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"What are you going to do about it..?"
Sam said with a worried expression.
"Please don't tell Aunt Rena and Aoi" Yuki said clenching fists on her thighs
"I wont but kid this kind of thing can't remain hidden for long.. I recommend getting an ab...." Sam had barely completed when Yuki cut her
"I am not getting rid of it!" Yuki said with a deep frown
"You're not thinking this straight...." Sam said but eventually gave in to Yuki's defiant look.
"Mari...please.. I have to find her..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"He won't move at all from that place"
The voice startled Mari who was watching from afar, she turned and a sudden terror ran on her face, her legs began to tremble in front of the man standing in front of her
"Won't you say hi to daddy?" Mr. Uzawa stood as gracefully dressed as ever in front of the ill dressed little girl.
"HH..HHI....hii" She stuttered
"Good girl" Mr. Uzawa said, he then looked back at where she had been staring for a while standing in the building parallel to the hospital where she could have a clear view of Keitarou's room "Mr. Akio is quite a devoted man isn't he? he doesn't budge at all, my little Kei found himself such a good partner I'm almost jealous of my own kid"
Mari didn't dare move from where she stood, everything about her trembled but the last thing she'd dare was to move, it was as if she was frozen.
"I missed you so much though my little girl" He turned to Mari "Let me see your face" He lifted his hand to touch her frozen face when suddenly her eyes widened at the familiar bracelet he wore and she threw her hands forward first grabbing at his neck
"That bracelet! Yuki! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY YUKI!! NO..." She strangled him, he coughed a bit but slapped her away though she immediately grabbed his feet on the floor "NOT YUKI PLEASE NOT YUKI, I DON'T LOVE HER, PLEASE DON'T! I WON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH ANYONE AGAIN I PROMISE SO IT CAN'T HAPPEN TO HER.."
"What incoherent nonsense" Mr. Uzawa kicked her off his feet.
"SHE'S NOT CLOSE TO ME SO SHE CAN'T BE LIKE HARU CHAN RIGHT? YOU WON'T TREAT HER LIKE HARU CHAN RIGHT? I DON'T LOVE HER AT ALL, SO SHE CAN'T END UP WITH THE SAME FATE..SHE WON'T BE CURSED BY MY LOVE..YES SHE WON'T!" Mari went on frantically then went at his arm trying to pull off the bracelet but he threw back
Two men came from behind and one stabbed an injection in Mari's neck. She fell down face forward
"What a troublesome kid you are..both you and your brother.." Mr. Uzawa said rubbing his temples "Take her back to hospital..make sure she can't get away this time..use restraints if necessary"
The men nodded and one of them lifted Mari off the ground, taking her away.
Mr. Uzawa turned back to the view infront of him
"Now then..." He smirked a little "You're truly something, Mr. Akio...that devotion, that strength, that passion..."
He swallowed hard and licked at his lips
"Makes me want to break it..."
