Summary:

As the silver-haired alpha breathes in toxic smoke to numb his broken soul in the stormy night, lightning brings him a precious gem to protect and love. When lightning streaks across the sky, the omega stares at the large alpha with fear as his thin body shivers in the cold, October rain. The abandoned omega has forgotten the feeling of warmth while the alpha has lost all reason to smile.

Notes:

This is my story that I had originally written on Wattpad. But then Wattpad did what they did, and now here I am, reposting everything here

This is an a/b/o au with mpreg. The term mother in this au is used for the parent that is pregnant with the baby. It is not male/female specific. It is also for the parent that is more maternal.

In this fanfic, male omegas have both female and male reproductive plumbing. If this is something that makes you uncomfortable, feel free to skip this book.

The first main ship in this book is Namjin. As the timeline continues, the main couple will become Taekook.

Our lovely Yoonmin will also be in this fanfic

Chapter 1: October Gift

As the rain pours outside of the restaurant and lightning flashes across the night sky, the exhausted, silver-haired alpha reaches his shaky hand out to the pack of cigarettes sitting on the counter. The moment thunder clashes through the air and shakes the building, the large alpha snatches up the pack, goes outside, and stands beneath the awning at the back of the building.

He takes a deep breath of the rainy air and then places a cigarette between his lips. The exhausted alpha sighs as he stares at his shaking hand and then flicks his lighter. As the flame dances in front of the man's face, another flash of lightning streaks across the night.

"I really should stop before I kill my lungs." The alpha grumbles, then places the flickering flame against the end of his cigarette.

As he takes a deep breath of the poisonous fog, he hears something clatter in the alley, so he stops and turns to see who is there. When lightning lights up the sky, he sees a terrified man staring at him, completely drenched by the pouring rain. The alpha freezes when a second flash of lightning lights up the sky because he is able to see the pregnancy bump barely covered by the thin clothing clinging to the smaller male.

The pregnant omega quickly stumbles backward to escape the large alpha that is staring at him but ends up tripping and falling to the ground. When the omega looks up, the alpha is gone, so he tries to quickly stand to his feet before the alpha returns to hurt him. As he stands up, there is a sudden warm presence around him, and a jacket is draped over his thin shoulders as an umbrella protects him from the rain.

When the omega looks up in surprise, the alpha from before is right beside him, wrapping a protective arm around his shoulders. The terrified omega slowly follows the alpha into the restaurant and then sits in the seat that the alpha pulls out for him.

The omega's eyes grow in size as he looks around the Michelin Star restaurant. The place is sparkling clean and everything is fancy to the omega.

Some clinking noises and the sound of fire lighting up catch the omega's attention, so he turns to see what the alpha is doing. He silently watches as the alpha begins cooking something that smells beyond delicious to the cold, starving omega.

When shivers shake his thin frame, the omega protectively wraps his arms around his swollen belly to try and warm up. The alpha quickly turns and looks at the shivering omega when he hears a quiet whimper, then quickly moves to the pregnant omega's side.

"Are you okay?" A deep voice asks the pregnant omega.

"I-I'm cold." The omega quietly whispers and curls into a ball, waiting for retaliation from the alpha.

"Let me get you something warm to wear." The alpha mumbles and quickly walks away to grab warm clothing.

The alpha returns faster than lightning with a thick sweater in his hands, then carefully slips the coat off of the omega. He grimaces when he sees the bony shoulders and collarbones sticking out from the wet t-shirt. No one should be in cold October rain dressed like this.

The omega quickly moves his hand to cover up his unmarked shoulder as shame fills him and tears well up in his eyes. He is pregnant and unmarked. There is nothing more shameful for an omega in this pack than that.

"It's okay. I won't judge you. I have no right to judge you." The alpha softly tells the scared omega and gently removes the omega's hand.

"I'm shameful." The omega softly cries and covers his face.

At this moment, the alpha knows that the omega has been abused and abandoned, and that breaks his heart. He cannot imagine how scared and alone the pregnant omega must feel. He knows that the stares and whispers the omega receives are enough to make anyone go crazy with fear and sorrow.

"You are not shameful." The alpha softly whispers and carefully wipes the omega's tears away. "Here, go to that room and change into this sweater. You will warm up."

The omega sniffles and looks at the sweater in the alpha's hands, then nervously reaches out for the warmth he has been craving. When he finally touches it, everything in him melts. The alpha's soothing scent tells the omega that he is safe.

"Thank you." The omega whispers and carefully gets up from the chair.

The omega collapses with the very first step as exhaustion overwhelms his frail body, so the alpha quickly reaches out to catch the omega in his arms and holds him with a steady grip.

"It's okay." The alpha quickly tells the omega before the omega panics. "Let me carry you."

"O-Okay." The omega nods and relaxes in the alpha's strong embrace.

The pregnant male gasps when the alpha easily scoops him up in his arms and carries him to the room. Once the alpha sets the omega down and is sure that he is comfortable, he straightens himself up and walks to the door.

"My name is Kim Namjoon. Call out for me if you need anything." The alpha smiles, then walks out and shuts the door to give the pregnant omega privacy.

"Kim Namjoon." The omega whispers and smells the alpha's sweater.

When the omega pulls the wet shirt off of his thin body, he shivers and quickly pulls the sweater over his head. The moment the sweater engulfs his thin body, he hums in delight as warmth fills him. After a little while of relaxing, he looks down at his pale, bare legs and tries to pull them up to his body to cover them because all that he has on is a pair of shorts. However, his swollen belly does not allow his legs to curl up underneath the large sweater, so the omega lets out a disgruntled huff.

"Meanie." The omega softly huffs and gently pets his belly.

After a few minutes, Namjoon hears the omega softly call out for him, so he quickly leaves the food that he is cooking and runs to the omega. When he opens the door to the room, he melts at the adorable sight of the omega being engulfed in his sweater.

"Is it okay?" Namjoon softly asks and walks over to the omega.

"Yes, thank you." The omega smiles as he looks up at the handsome alpha. As Namjoon lifts him into his arms, the omega realizes that the alpha is unmarked, which the omega finds surprising since the alpha is handsome and seems kind.

When Namjoon places the omega in the chair from earlier, the omega realizes that there is a cushion now on the seat. He happily hums as he becomes comfortable in the chair.

"Here you go. This should warm you up some more." Namjoon smiles as he places a steaming bowl of congee on the table in front of the omega.

"Is this for me?" The omega asks with big eyes as he licks his lips in anticipation.

"Of course." Namjoon smiles and hands him a spoon.

"Thank you." The omega sniffles as tears well up in his eyes.

"Eat as much as you want and at the pace you want." Namjoon softly tells the omega, then walks off to clean up the kitchen.

The moment that the omega tastes the warm food, quiet sobs shake his frail body. This is the first warm meal he has had in months. Namjoon leaves the omega alone to cry because he knows that the omega needs this moment alone.

Once the crying stops, Namjoon goes over to the omega to see the omega's eyes sleepily drooping while his hand rests on his swollen belly.

"Do you have a place to stay for the night?" Namjoon softly asks him as he picks up the empty bowl.

"I, uh, I'll go to the shelter. There might be a bed there." The omega quietly answers and tries to stand up.

"I heard that it's harder to find beds during rainy nights," Namjoon mutters and looks down at the omega with worry.

"Someone might pity me and give me their bed for the night." The omega mumbles and looks away.

"You can stay at my place tonight. It's not out of pity. It's because I would worry all night and not sleep while worrying about you." Namjoon quickly mumbles and walks away to clean the bowl.

The omega stares at the alpha in surprise as the alpha walks away at lightning speed. He knows that no one would give up their bed to him for free, and they would be asking for something that he is not willing to give.

When the omega looks out the window while trying to decide what to do, lightning streaks across the sky, and thunder clashes through the air. He gently places his hand over his belly and looks down at his baby bump.

"I will trust him for us." The omega whispers to his unborn pup with a soft smile.

After a few minutes, the alpha nervously walks over to the omega, completely terrified that he has scared the pregnant male.

"Okay, I'll stay with you tonight if it's not a bother." The omega answers and looks up at the nervous alpha.

To the omega's surprise, a sweet smile lights up the alpha's face as he vigorously nods and tries to find the right words to say.

"I, uh, it's not a bother at all." Namjoon smiles and quickly grabs another one of his coats.

The omega looks at the alpha, shocked when Namjoon drapes his coat around the omega and then gently picks him up bridal style. Namjoon smiles when the omega carefully wraps his arms over the alpha's shoulders.

Once the omega is seated in the alpha's car, Namjoon quickly runs back to the restaurant and locks everything up. He then quickly runs back to the car and hops in the driver's seat.

"Kim Seokjin. My name is Kim Seokjin. I figured that you should know my name since I'm staying with you tonight." The omega mumbles as he nervously fidgets with his fingers in his lap.

"It's nice to meet you, Kim Seokjin." Namjoon smiles and starts up the car.

"You too, Kim Namjoon." Seokjin smiles and relaxes.

Seokjin looks around the car in awe because he knows that the car is a luxury car. He carefully traces the leather seat and looks at all of the fancy-looking buttons.

By the time they arrive at Namjoon's condo building, Seokjin is in shock because he does not expect someone working in a restaurant to live in such a nice place. He looks around as Namjoon carefully picks him up out of the car and carries him inside.

As they walk toward the doors of the condo complex, the doorman politely bows to Namjoon and opens the doors for them. Then, a guard inside the lobby politely bows and opens the elevator for them. To Seokjin's utmost surprise, there is a guard inside the elevator who presses the button to the top floor of the building.

"Are you a prince?" Seokjin whispers so that the beta guard cannot hear him.

"No." Namjoon softly smiles as he looks at the adorable omega.

"I think you are." Seokjin mumbles and looks at the guard.

When the elevator doors open, they open right into Namjoon's condo. As Namjoon carries Seokjin into the condo, the omega looks around in awe and quietly gasps.

"I am so sorry. I totally forgot that the guest rooms are being renovated." Namjoon freezes in surprise when it dawns on him.

"It's okay. I can sleep on the couch just fine." Seokjin smiles and looks at the large, cozy couch.

Namjoon ignores the little omega and carries the omega to his room. Seokjin looks up at Namjoon in shock as the alpha gently places him on the king-size bed.

"You can sleep in here," Namjoon mumbles as he carefully pulls the covers over the pregnant omega, then walks off to grab sweatpants to cover the omega's bare legs.

When the alpha returns, he realizes that the omega will likely be hot in the thick sweater and sweatpants, so once he hands the sweatpants to the omega, he goes to his closet and grabs a t-shirt. Seokjin quietly watches the alpha as the alpha returns with the t-shirt.

After handing the clothes to Seokjin, Namjoon goes to the bathroom and prepares for bed. When Namjoon does not return for some time, Seokjin carefully slips out of the bed and walks to the bathroom with a head full of curiosity.

"Is everything okay?" Seokjin quietly asks as he knocks on the door.

"Hm? Oh yeah." Namjoon answers and then looks up when the omega opens the door.

Seokjin pauses when he sees the alpha rummaging through his clothes' hamper with an unlit cigarette dangling out of his mouth.

"I was, uh, thinking that maybe you would be more comfortable if you nested. I know that you won't find my scent the most comforting for you and the pup, but I figured that it might help." Namjoon stutters as his cheeks turn red because it was really instinct that blindly drew him to his clothes hamper.

"Your scent is soothing because my pup does not have his scent. The alpha didn't stay around long enough." Seokjin quietly mumbles and looks down at his feet.

"Then I hope these help." Namjoon quickly answers and scoops up the clothes that he lightly wore as he blows the unlit cigarette out of his mouth onto the bathroom counter.

"Thank you so much for everything," Seokjin whispers as tears begin to pool in his eyes.

"Don't cry," Namjoon softly whispers as he reaches out and wipes the small omega's tears away.

"You've done so much for my pup and me tonight. I don't know how to repay you." Seokjin sniffles and looks up at the kind alpha.

"All that I want is for you to rest well." Namjoon smiles and carefully cups Seokjin's face in his large hand. So pretty.

"Thank you," Seokjin whispers and tries to smile for the first time in a long time.

Namjoon sees the tiny smile that crosses Seokjin's face and decides that that smile is the smile he wants to see more of.

"Let's get you a nest." Namjoon smiles and supportively wraps his free arm around Seokjin's waist, then walks back into the room.

Within a few minutes, Seokjin is happily snuggled in his first nest. He smiles when he feels his pup kick and places his hand on his stomach. For once, they are safe and warm and fed.

"You can sleep on the bed." Seokjin softly tells Namjoon as the alpha walks out of the room.

"I don't want to make you uncomfortable." Namjoon smiles and reaches out to the light switch to turn the lights off.

"You don't make me uncomfortable. You make me feel safe." Seokjin whispers toward the end, but Namjoon hears every word.

Namjoon feels his heart flutter and his wolf howl in joy at Seokjin's words. Without a word, Namjoon flicks the lights off, then goes to the side of the bed that the nest is not on and lies down. Seokjin smiles and relaxes in the presence of the alpha, then closes his eyes to get some sleep.

"Good night, Kim Namjoon," Seokjin quietly mumbles as he begins to drift off to sleep.

"Good night, Kim Seokjin." Namjoon smiles and instinctively places his hand on the edge of Seokjin's nest as sleep begins to take over.

The sound of the storm quietly accompanies the gentle breaths of the two wolves as they begin to bond through the night.

Chapter 2: Jin and Joon

Namjoon is startled awake by the pregnant omega stumbling off of the bed, making retching sounds. The alpha quickly springs from the bed, swoops the omega into his arms, and runs him to the bathroom. The moment that the omega is in front of the toilet, every precious bite of food is emptied into the toilet.

"Is this morning sickness? Should you still be having morning sickness? Did you throw up everything? Are you sick? Is it because you were in the cold rain?" Namjoon panics as he tries to soothe the omega.

"I'm okay. This is normal when I eat." Seokjin answers when he finally has a break from vomiting.

"You shouldn't be vomiting like this." Namjoon mumbles and pulls out his phone, then searches for the best OB-GYN he can find.

"I'm okay, really," Seokjin mutters as he tries to stand up.

"No, I'll make sure that you are really okay before I can calm down." Namjoon murmurs in response and calls the OB-GYN he finds.

"Yes, it's an emergency. He's throwing up. He threw up everything that he ate for dinner. We can come in an hour." Namjoon quickly makes an appointment with the OB-GYN before Seokjin can protest.

"Okay, let's get you bathed and dressed warmly. It's a chilly morning and won't warm up." Namjoon smiles as he hangs up.

"Thank you," Seokjin whispers and feels like crying because this is the first time someone has taken care of him.

"Don't thank me yet. We have to make sure that you and the little pup are both healthy." Namjoon softly smiles and leads the omega to the bath.

Seokjin quietly watches Namjoon prepare the bath as he holds his pup bump. He hesitantly smiles because he knows that this safety will go away faster than he knows it, but he wants to treasure this moment.

"How far along are you?" Namjoon asks as he makes sure that the bath water is just right.

"Six months," Seokjin answers and lovingly rubs his belly.

"Hm, you're already pretty big for six months. Do you think that you're having an alpha?" Namjoon tries to make conversation with the omega to get to know him better.

"I was wondering if I am." Seokjin smiles as he thinks about having an adorable alpha pup.

"The doctor will tell us what the pup is." Namjoon smiles and walks over to Seokjin.

"I would like to know what my pup is," Seokjin whispers and looks up at the honey-golden dragon eyes.

"The bath is ready. I'll go grab you something warm to wear. It'll have my scent on it. Is that okay?" Namjoon asks as he walks to the bathroom door.

"That's perfect." Seokjin smiles and looks down with a pink tint brightening his cheeks.

"O-Okay." Namjoon stutters and trips as he walks out of the bathroom with the sight of the blushing omega in his mind.

Seokjin softly laughs at the adorable clumsiness of the large alpha. For a split second, he wonders what it would be like to be able to stay with the kind alpha. No, Jin, you can't think like this. He is kind, but people's kindness to someone like you has its limits. You will have to go back out into the world and fight to protect yourself and your innocent pup. Don't get attached to the alpha.

"Here you go." Namjoon's soft voice snaps the spiraling omega out of his thoughts.

"Thank you." Seokjin smiles and takes the soft clothes from Namjoon.

"Call for me if you need anything. I'll take a quick shower in another bathroom." Namjoon smiles and then leaves the omega alone.

As Seokjin carefully undresses, he looks at himself in the mirror and sees his bones poking out. He carefully runs his fingers over his frail body, then softly sighs. He has not been healthy in a long time. The omega knows that his pregnancy bump is large because he is so thin.

When he sinks his aching body into the bath, a satisfied moan leaves his plump lips as warmth and comfort surround him. Namjoon's scent lingers in the steamy air and begins to lull him to sleep.

Namjoon patiently waits in the bedroom for Seokjin to finish because the alpha took the shower faster than lightning. When he does not sense any movement from the bathroom, he knocks on the door to check on the omega. Worry fills him when he does not hear anything, so he busts the door open and then runs to the bathtub when he sees the exhausted omega slip under the water.

"Seokjin! Open your eyes!" Namjoon shouts and shakes the omega to try to wake him up.

Seokjin's eyes snap open, and he coughs out the water. He looks at Namjoon with wide eyes and then realizes that he fell asleep in the bathtub.

"I'm sorry. I fell asleep." Seokjin panics and clings to Namjoon.

"It's okay. You're okay." Namjoon whispers and holds the omega to him as he tries to calm down.

After a couple of minutes, Namjoon carefully pulls away and begins washing Seokjin because he is too afraid to leave the omega alone.

"Thank you. I didn't even realize." Seokjin whispers and looks down, then stills when he realizes that he is naked.

"It's okay." Namjoon smiles and gently rubs the shampoo into the omega's hair.

"I'm uh, I'm naked," Seokjin whispers and places his hands over his precious parts.

"I'm not looking. I promise." Namjoon quickly answers as he keeps his eyes trained on Seokjin's hair.

"Okay. Thank you." Seokjin mumbles and relaxes because he knows that he can trust the alpha.

Once Seokjin is clean, Namjoon grabs one of the large towels and holds it open for Seokjin, then looks away. Seokjin softly smiles when he sees the sweet alpha respectfully looking away. However, as Seokjin tries to stand up from the tub, he realizes that it is too slippery for him. He nervously calls out for Namjoon, who quickly wraps the towel around him and lifts him up out of the tub. Once Seokjin is safely in the alpha's arms, Namjoon carries him to the bed to dry him off. He wants Seokjin to be as comfortable as possible.

"How old are you?" Seokjin asks as Namjoon dries his hair.

"I'm twenty-eight. How old are you?" Namjoon answers and runs his fingers through Seokjin's hair.

"I'm twenty," Seokjin answers and looks down at his hands.

"Hmm, I guessed you were around twenty." Namjoon softly responds, then hands Seokjin his clothes. "I'll be in the kitchen. Come out once you're dressed." The alpha smiles and then walks out of the room, leaving Seokjin some privacy to get dressed.

"Twenty-eight. That's a nice age." Seokjin whispers as he carefully gets dressed.

When Namjoon hears Seokjin coming out of the bedroom, he looks up from the oatmeal he is preparing and smiles. Seokjin looks absolutely adorable in the large white sweater and sweatpants.

"Are you comfortable?" Namjoon asks and walks over to Seokjin.

"Yes, thank you. Your clothes are big and warm, but the pants are perfect since my belly is so big." Seokjin smiles and pats his large pregnancy bump.

"Cute." Namjoon coos as he looks at the pretty omega.

"Me?" Seokjin asks in surprise and looks up at the alpha with big eyes.

"Yes, you." Namjoon softly chuckles and leads the omega to the kitchen counter to eat.

Seokjin blushes profusely when Namjoon confirms that he called the omega cute.

"You can call me Jin. You called me Seokjin earlier." Seokjin mumbles and sits on the barstool that Namjoon had placed a pillow on for the pregnant omega.

"Jin, I like that. No one ever calls me anything other than Namjoon, so you can call me whatever you want." Namjoon smiles and hands Seokjin his bowl of oatmeal with strawberries decorating the top.

"Hmmm, how about Joon?" Seokjin softly asks and looks up at the alpha to see his reaction.

"Joon? I like that. Jin and Joon." Namjoon grins as he grabs his bowl and then sits next to the blushing omega.

"Jin and Joon," Seokjin whispers, then takes a bite of his breakfast.

After they finish eating, Namjoon bundles the omega up before they leave the apartment. Once the alpha is sure that the omega is warm enough, they leave the apartment and walk to his car. Seokjin stops when they walk past the car from the night before and looks at Namjoon in confusion.

"This car will be more comfortable for you than that one," Namjoon explains and opens the door for the larger vehicle.

"How many cars do you have?" Seokjin asks with big eyes when he sees several cars parked side-by-side with the alpha's condo number painted on the ground, indicating they are Namjoon's parking spots.

"I have six, but only five are here since one is being cleaned right now," Namjoon answers as he makes sure that Seokjin is comfortably seated in the backseat.

"Why the backseat?" Seokjin asks when Namjoon buckles him in.

"I looked it up, and it's apparently safer for you back here." Namjoon answers, shuts the door, and then walks to the driver's seat.

"You've been doing a lot of research to help me," Seokjin whispers and looks at Namjoon as the handsome alpha gets in the driver's seat.

"I want to make sure that I am taking care of you well." Namjoon answers and starts the vehicle.

"You're the first person to care." Seokjin mumbles and looks down at his hands.

"That's because our pack is fucked up," Namjoon growls slightly.

The drive to the doctor is quiet as Seokjin looks out the window and enjoys the view of the city from the safety of Namjoon's car. The alpha's scent is wafting around the vehicle, calming the pregnant omega. When Seokjin looks at Namjoon, he realizes just how safe he feels with the alpha.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" Seokjin nervously asks and waits for an answer as the alpha freezes at the question.

"Yes." Namjoon finally musters up the courage to answer while his wolf nervously whimpers and waits for Seokjin's answer. The moment Namjoon's wolf saw Seokjin in the freezing rain, he bonded to the omega.

"I would be a burden to you. My pup would be a burden to you." Seokjin answers matter-of-factly.

"You wouldn't; neither of you would. I would take care of both of you." Namjoon quickly answers and looks at Seokjin through the rearview mirror to gauge the omega's response.

"Why don't you have a mate?" Seokjin asks and looks Namjoon in the eyes through the mirror.

"I wanted to build up my life and have a stable job before allowing myself to find a mate. I'm there. I am at a place in my life where I can take care of someone. But in such a short amount of time, you became someone important to me. You've become more than just someone I would want to take care of. You are already someone I care about. The thought of you and the pup alone scares me. I want to protect you both and give you everything you want, even love." Namjoon whispers toward the end and quickly looks away as his heart races because he knows that he just said a lot that has a lot of heavy implications. For all he knows, Seokjin has sworn off love because of the pain the father of the pup has put him through.

"Would you abandon me in the end?" Seokjin nervously asks as he considers staying with Namjoon. I know I am safe with him. I am scared to face the rest of my pregnancy alone.

"Never. I already know that I will never abandon you." Namjoon quickly answers as he parks the vehicle.

"Jin and Joon. I like the sound of that." Seokjin smiles and looks up at Namjoon.

"Me too. Jin and Joon." Namjoon whispers and looks at the pregnant omega.

"I will tell you everything," Seokjin tells Namjoon and leans towards the alpha.

"Take your time. I will wait until you are ready." Namjoon softly smiles, then reaches out and gently cups Seokjin's face in his hands.

The thing about wolves is that, like humans, they become attached rather quickly. It can even be in the blink of an eye. However, unlike humans, that attachment is accompanied by loyalty and love for the rest of their lives if both wolves are attached to each other. As the attachment grows, a bond is created between two wolves that others can sense.

Namjoon smiles when he can feel the bond between them forming. He has stopped himself from creating a bond with any wolf for many years, but he knows that Seokjin is the person he has been working so hard to create a safe and stable life for.

"I trust you." Seokjin softly smiles and snuggles his face in Namjoon's hand.

"Jin and Joon." Namjoon whispers and gently rubs his thumb on Seokjin's hollow cheek.

A tear trickles down Seokjin's cheek when he feels his pup happily kick. He knows that his pup is already building a bond with Namjoon, so he takes Namjoon's hand and places it on his belly. The alpha's face lights up with a huge smile when he feels the pup fluttering around.

"Hey there, Little One." Namjoon whispers and gently rubs Seokjin's tummy.

"Little One likes you." Seokjin smiles and places his hand over Namjoon's hand.

"Thankfully." Namjoon chuckles and smiles at Seokjin.

Chapter 3: OB-GYN

As the couple walks into the doctor's clinic, Seokjin looks around in shock because no one is shooting him dirty looks. It is all because he has a handsome alpha by his side who has a protective arm wrapped around his waist. He is no longer an abandoned, pregnant omega.

"I have an emergency appointment under the name Kim Seokjin," Namjoon tells the front desk.

"Okay, your doctor will be a female alpha. Is that okay?" The beta at the front desk asks the couple.

"Jin, are you comfortable with that?" Namjoon softly asks and looks at the omega in his arms.

"Yeah, that's okay with me as long as you're in the room." Seokjin mumbles and leans into Namjoon for comfort.

"He can only go in the room if he is the father of the pup." The man at the front desk informs them with an apologetic voice.

"I am." Namjoon answers and tightens his hold around Seokjin's waist.

Seokjin looks up at Namjoon in surprise but does not say anything.

"Okay, then he can go in with you." The beta smiles and motions for them to take a seat.

"Really?" Seokjin asks as he sits next to Namjoon. "Are you really taking fatherhood of my pup?" He asks with big eyes.

"Of course, but we will discuss this when we are somewhere private." Namjoon smiles and gently brushes Seokjin's hair out of his face.

"Thank you so much." Seokjin smiles as tears build up in his eyes.

"Don't cry." Namjoon softly smiles and pulls the little omega into his arms.

"Excuse me, I hope that you don't mind me saying this, but you two seem like a very sweet pair." A pregnant female alpha smiles at them as she watches the pair.

"Thank you." Namjoon politely answers as he continues to hold Seokjin in his arms.

"Do you mind if I ask how far along you are?" The alpha asks Seokjin.

"I'm six months," Seokjin nervously answers and holds onto Namjoon.

"I'm five months." The female alpha responds and gently rubs her baby bump.

Before anything else can be said, an arguing alpha couple walks in louder than an explosion. Namjoon protectively places his hand on Seokjin's belly and pulls the omega closer to him, then glares at the arguing pair. Seokjin smiles as he looks at the protective hand on his pregnancy bump.

"I wish my mate could be here." The female alpha sighs when she sees Namjoon's protective hand on the baby bump.

"You two! Cut it out!" Namjoon growls because he is sure that even though the woman is an alpha, she is probably nervous about being there without her mate.

The couple stops arguing and looks at the upset alpha, a little surprised, but they both quiet down and sit to wait for their doctor. The beta at the front desk sighs in relief because that couple always raises hell when they walk in.

"Kim Seokjin." A nurse calls out, so Namjoon gets up and helps Seokjin to his feet.

"Good luck!" The female alpha smiles as the couple walks off.

"Thank you." Seokjin smiles and looks at the pretty alpha.

Once they are seated in the office, Namjoon frets and fusses because he does not think that the chair Seokjin is in has enough cushions.

"So, why does such a fussy alpha like you have such a thin, unmarked, pregnant mate?" The doctor asks when she walks into the office.

"It's because I haven't been taking good enough care of him." Namjoon quickly answers. He would rather take the blame for being a bad father and mate than for anyone to find out that Seokjin was abandoned. He knows that she would judge the sweet omega. That is just how this pack works.

"Well, you definitely need to start taking much better care of him. I can tell just by looking at him that he's starving and malnourished." The alpha doctor glares at Namjoon.

"It's not his fault. I've been throwing up a lot." Seokjin quickly defends Namjoon because the sweet alpha has been nothing but perfect, and he does not want Namjoon to take the blame.

"You're six months along and still throwing up? What have you been eating?" She asks and looks at Seokjin, who freezes because he has been eating anything that he could get his hands on, and that is usually the food people have thrown out.

"Oatmeal and porridge." Seokjin answers and nervously clenches his fists.

"When was the last time that you threw up?" She asks and writes everything down.

"This morning. It's not Namjoon hyung's fault that he didn't know. I've been hiding it from him. When he found out this morning, he panicked and immediately called you." Seokjin tries to find a reasonable excuse for them.

"You're not mated, so it makes sense that he couldn't sense you being sick." The doctor mumbles when she sees Seokjin's bare, unmarked shoulder.

Seokjin nervously pulls his sweater over his shoulder and tries to hide his shame.

"Do you have a problem with him being unmarked?" Namjoon asks and protectively holds Seokjin's hand.

"Not really. I have a problem with irresponsible alphas like you who do not take responsibility." She answers with a cold voice.

"We found out that I was pregnant before we could mate. We read that it's safer to mate the further along the pregnancy is." Seokjin quickly mutters because Namjoon is taking the blame for everything.

"That is very true and wise." The doctor nods and backs off. "Okay, let's have you lie down on this table so that we can do a sonogram. I am guessing that you have not been to a doctor before today?" The doctor asks as Namjoon carefully helps Seokjin onto the table.

Seokjin nods in response, then lies down.

"I will ask Mr. Cranky Father over here to place the gel on your belly because I know he will growl at me if I touch you." The doctor grins and hands the gel to Namjoon.

"That works with me." Namjoon answers and carefully places the gel on the little omega's belly.

"Now, let's take a look at your pup." She smiles and places the wand over Seokjin's womb.

Seokjin and Namjoon instantly gasp when they see the little pup on the screen and hear the heartbeat. Namjoon gently takes Seokjin's hand in his and smiles down at the pregnant omega, who has tears trickling down his face as he looks at his precious pup.

"So, the pup is healthy, which makes sense because he's an alpha." The doctor smiles as she looks at the sweet couple. She is more relaxed when she sees the alpha taking such good care of Seokjin. She also knows that they are lying because the pup is void of the scent of a father. This means that the father did not stay around long enough for the pup to carry his scent. This also means that Namjoon has not been around long enough to bond with the pup.

"Our pup." Seokjin sniffles and looks up at Namjoon.

"Our pup." Namjoon smiles and gently kisses Seokjin's forehead.

As she watches them, she knows that the omega and pup will be well taken care of. She knows that there is nothing to worry about.

"We have to come up with a name now that we know our pup is a boy and an alpha." Seokjin smiles and nuzzles his face against Namjoon's hand.

"We'll make sure that he has a beautiful name." Namjoon smiles and gently caresses Seokjin's face.

"Now that we know your pup is healthy, we need to worry about our mother over here. You should not still be vomiting, but since your alpha over here has been busy, I am guessing that you have not been eating the best food." The doctor tells them as Namjoon lowers Seokjin's shirt back down.

"What should he be eating?" Namjoon eagerly asks and pulls out his phone to take notes.

"Light foods that are high in nutritional value. I will prescribe you some supplements that are not heavy for pregnant omegas. Your pup is an alpha, so he is growing quickly in size and in strength. Seokjin, you will likely begin feeling more and more fatigued the closer the due date comes. I suggest bed rest. It isn't mandatory yet, but it will be in the near future. Right now, stay home as much as possible and do some light stretching. I am sure this fussy alpha will take good care of you now that he knows that you are not doing well." The doctor explains and writes down a few prescriptions for Seokjin.

"Thank you." Namjoon smiles as he makes sure that his notes are thorough enough.

"Of course. Now, I want to see Mama over here again next week. Let's make these appointments once a week; however, if he is not improving, bring him in whenever you need to. Let's make sure that this pretty Mama and your pup are both healthy in the end." The doctor smiles at the couple.

"Healthy is what we want." Namjoon vigorously nods.

"Here are some manuals for first-time parents. You'll need them. And one last thing, you two can safely mate and mark when Seokjin is seven months along, so you only need to wait one more month." The doctor grins at the blushing couple.

"Thank you." Seokjin stutters and hides his face in Namjoon's shoulder.

"We will keep that in mind." Namjoon blushes and gently places his hand on Seokjin's baby bump.

"I'm sure you will." The doctor chuckles and stands up to show them to the front desk.

Once they make their appointment for next week, they walk to their car. As they walk to their car, Seokjin nervously reaches out and holds Namjoon's hand, who smiles and intertwines their fingers.

"Thank you for protecting me. You didn't have to take all of the blame on yourself." Seokjin mumbles and looks at their intertwined fingers.

"I didn't want anyone to look at you with disdain. From now on, we are Jin and Joon. Joon will always protect Jin and Little One." Namjoon smiles and presses a kiss on Seokjin's hand.

"Just last night, I was living in hell. Today, I am living the life I never expected. Even when I was with him, I never thought I would live like I am today." Seokjin whispers toward the end and looks down.

"I don't know who he is or exactly what he did to you, but I do know that he is a bastard who never deserved you." Namjoon softly tells Seokjin as he buckles him in the backseat.

"I thought that bastard and I had a bond. Little did I know that he just saw me as someone easy and naive." Seokjin whispers as tears trickle down his face.

Namjoon gently pulls the sweet omega into his embrace and lets him cry. As Namjoon comforts Seokjin, he stiffens when he sees his half-brother and his half-brother's mate walk into the clinic. Seokjin looks up at Namjoon when he senses the alpha's scent change.

"What's wrong?" Seokjin asks and searches Namjoon's darkened eyes for an answer.

"Someone from my past just walked into the clinic," Namjoon answers and softly smiles down at Seokjin.

"Did they hurt you?" Seokjin asks with big eyes because the thought of someone hurting this sweet alpha mortifies him.

"He did, but I left to make sure that he never hurt me again." Namjoon whispers and softly smiles at the sweet omega.

"Let's go then before he sees you." Seokjin quickly mutters and motions for Namjoon to get in the car.

"Is there anywhere that you want to go?" Namjoon asks as he gets into the car.

"Back to the apartment," Seokjin answers and relaxes in the seat.

"Okay, let's go home." Namjoon smiles and drives off.

"Home." Seokjin softly whispers with a smile and watches Namjoon drive.

When they arrive home, Namjoon carries Seokjin into their condo and carefully sets him in the middle of the nest.

"So, I am a chef. I have to go to work at three since we open up for dinner at five. I will return at around eleven. If anything happens, call me immediately. I will answer the phone." Namjoon explains as he makes Seokjin comfortable.

"Are you the head chef?" Seokjin asks as Namjoon places a pillow behind him.

"I am." Namjoon smiles and sits beside Seokjin on the bed.

"Wow! No wonder why your food is soooo good!" Seokjin gasps and smiles at Namjoon.

"Are you hungry?" Namjoon asks and chuckles at the adorable omega.

"Not really. What time is it?" Seokjin asks and looks around for a clock.

"It's around eleven." Namjoon answers and hands Seokjin his phone.

"So you don't have to leave for a while." Seokjin smiles as he looks at the time.

"Correct." Namjoon grins and gently pets the adorable omega's head.

"So we can get to know each other," Seokjin suggests and looks up at Namjoon.

"That sounds perfect."
