When an omega is pregnant, it tends to be more sensitive, although this was something widespread by all those who are gestating. The body changes, everything seems very strange, and you prepare for a new reality even though you don't know exactly how to deal with this new phase.
Just know that there is a challenge waiting for you.
About to become a father, Jake saw himself anxious. From the moment he suspected that Nathaniel was pregnant, he already entered the path of anxiety. At the first appointment with Doctor Priscilla, who was even an old friend of yours who graduated in your absence, Jake and Nathaniel were scolded for being careless.
This was because the doctor had warned Nathaniel that the pregnancy would be at risk because of the condition of his body.
Of course he was worried, but he had no idea how risky it would be.
During the five months of gestation, Jake saw a side of his boyfriend that he had never seen before. He had to give long with vitamins to him, so that his body strengthened to withstand the pregnancy. The initial symptoms such as nausea, drowsiness, swelling seemed to have come at their peak. And the weather in the city also did not help much to make him comfortable.
And now, in the final stage of gestation, Nathaniel suffered with many pains. Doctor Priscilla had explained that it would be natural, after all, the omega body would be preparing to give birth. However, Jake never imagined that it would be so painful.
— Don't move, Jake — The alpha whispered to himself — Don't move... or he'll wake up.
Nathaniel had finally found a comfortable position... in the arms of his alpha. Jake had used his pheromones to calm him down, which resulted in the omega almost melting himself.
But he let out a sigh, everything was going down and Nathaniel would wake up.
— Fuck... I want to go to the bathroom. — Jake whispered looking at the bathroom door — Don't think about waterfall, Jake. I thought about beautiful butterflies.
Which was difficult, since the will only increased.
But he was so comfortable in that position. And Nathaniel slept so peacefully in his arms. It would be a great sin for him to leave. Also, Jake would never be able to get in that position again when he came back.
He would lose that position and the comfort of it.
But he needed to go to the bathroom!
With a lot of pain in his heart, and much faith to pray that the other did not wake up, Jake got out of bed taking all the care of the world. Luckily, Nathaniel didn't wake up.
Quickly Jake went to the bathroom, experiencing the great relief of no longer having to hold on, and when he returned to bed he — tried — return to the same position as before, taking care not to wake up his omega.
— Jake...
Freezing in place, the alpha opened a slight smile.
— I just went to the bathroom, I'm back, dear — The alpha stroked Nathaniel's lumbar, massaging with the tips of his fingers — Calm down, I know it hurts, but I'm back, see?
Nathaniel muttered something and continued with his eyes closed. He hugged his alpha by the waist and tried to go back to sleep.
But Jake had spoiled the comfortable position when going out to the bathroom.
And the omega began to turn in bed, although it did not have many positions that the big belly allowed him to do. Jake could only try to cover him with his pheromones and wrap him in his arms.
When the fingers touched the belly, he realized how hard it was.
— God... It's all b—
— Jake, let's go to the hospital. — Nathaniel asked, squeezing the alpha arm.
— What? Why? What are you feeling?
— This pain does not pass. I'm not enjoying it.
Agreeing with his head, Jake got out of bed and went to get an omega suit and comfortable shoes. After taking care of him and leaving him tidy, Jake went to get dressed as fast as he could to finally take Nathaniel.
The alpha drove carefully despite being anxious, he heard the omega groan low and caress the belly as if trying to relieve his own pain. And as soon as they arrived at the hospital, the on-duty beta nurse did not take long to attend them and take them to the emergency room.
Nathaniel was examined and consulted by the doctor on duty until Dr Priscilla arrived at the hospital. They took the omega to a bed in the infirmary, where it was monitored by several machines.
— Everything will be fine — Jake said holding Nathaniel's hand and kissing his fingers — Soon that witch arrives and you'll be fine.
— Who are you calling a witch? — The voice of doctor Priscilla sounded behind Jake, scaring him completely — Just because I gave you a scolding, now I become a witch?
Grimacing, Jake kept holding the omega hand.
— You are not at all delicate.
— I'm a doctor, it's part of my job to give shit when patients do shit.
Nathaniel let out a low laugh, calling attention of both. At least he was laughing, and that was a good sign to calm a certain worried alpha.
The doctor soon went to talk the doctor on duty to see the results of the tests done so far. And after some time she herself went to examine Nathaniel, touching his belly and other regions.
— Hm... That's strange, the last exam you took the forecast for their birth was in a week.
— What do you mean? — asked Nathaniel shaking hands with Jake.
— I mean that your bones have already opened way for them to be born — Doctor Priscilla looked at the couple seriously — Let's go to the operating room, their children will be born today.
Jake was reasoning those words when the nurses already took Nathaniel to another room and doctor Priscilla ordered the preparation of the operating room. The alpha blinked in amazement and didn't even know what to do first.
Quickly he ran after Nathaniel, getting close to him. Jake held the omega's hand so tight that his nervousness was clear. After all, who would have thought that a little visit to the hospital, just to relieve the pain, would result in surgery for the birth of your children?
Haha, Jake didn't even know what time it was.
— Jake, it looks like you're going to faint.
— I will not be like those guy who falls hard on the ground just by seeing blood.
— But you know that we are in a hospital and that many people die on an operating table...
— Nurse, give anesthesia to my boyfriend! — Nathaniel let out a low laugh that made Jake pouted — Why do you keep talking about these things at this time?
— Because it's funny. We're in the middle of the night in a hospital, not the ideal scenario for scary things to happen.
— Don't even play with it! There are many lights here, see? You'll have a giant right on top of you. The spirits prefer dark and there in the surgical center is only light, see? Only light! Let there be a lot of light! Even you are giving birth! Much light!
Nathaniel kept laughing, holding his boyfriend's hand. Of course he had fun scaring Jake with the horror stories, but truth be told, that silly joke relieves the stress of both.
And left Jake afraid of being alone in a dark hospital.
Jake took the opportunity to call his mother-in-law and warn about soon babies arrive. Soon after, Nathaniel was taken to prepare to enter the surgical center, a few minutes later Jake also accompanied a nurse to prepare, since he wanted to attend the birth.
From the moment he entered the surgical center, Jake felt different. The jokes he made until then were aside, and he started to support Nathaniel holding his hand all the time during surgery.
— Hang in there, champ. You'll be fine, and so will our boys.
Nathaniel looked up at Jake after hearing him call him that way. Jake would have said in the greatest innocence, he hardly knew that was the way Ares called Nathaniel back then. And that nickname made Nathaniel smile and take a deep breath.
— Yes, we'll all be fine.
— That's right. And when we come home the four of us, we'll toast with chocomilk.
— Chocomilk? Really Jake?
— Seriously, you like it, so we'll toast to that. And then we will be drooling over our children, arguing about who they most resemble.
Nathaniel smiled and just heard Jake calm him down with those words.
From time to time the alpha took a peek at how the surgery was going. But soon he turned his attention to Nathaniel who seemed to be pale and sleepy.
In the middle of the surgery, the monitors whistled and the doctors were agitated. Jake did not understand a word of what was said, but his despair arose when Nathaniel lost consciousness.
The oxygen mask was glued to omega's face, nurses and instrumentalists rushed into the operating room without taking their eyes off the monitors.
— It's going to be okay — Jake said holding Nathaniel's hand -It's going to be okay.
The chaos was complete, but a crying baby made Jake raise his head and watch the first baby being taken away from Nathaniel. Completely dirty of amniotic fluid and blood, but crying at full volume.
Jake was called in to cut the umbilical cord, but doctors were still tense during surgery. Still, the alpha managed to watch the birth of the second baby and repeat the process of cutting the cord.
The doctors were able to close the surgery, but Nathaniel was still unconscious and needed to stay a few more days in the hospital for his condition to be observed.
When the day was born, Jake left the operating room and found Nathaniel's family and more Matheus in the hallway. The alpha sighed heavily and opened a smile.
— They were born.
Being embraced by all, Jake told the details of the surgery. Of course his omega was stabilized, but Jake still trembled. He only realized how nervous he felt when he could finally relax in the arms of that loving family.
When Nathaniel opened his eyes, he was already in the room and still wearing an oxygen mask. His blurred vision showed a figure sitting on his side, and his ears picked up some sound he could not distinguish from the beginning.
But when his vision finally cleared, he saw Jake holding two babies in his arms, and seemed to talk with them.
— That's right, your dad will love holding you both. He likes cute things, you know? And you're a bundle of cuteness.
Jake's bright eyes rose as he noticed Nathaniel awake and then the alpha stood up from his chair and approached the bed, showing the two babies. Nathaniel looked at them and tried to reach out to touch them, but he felt weak.
Biting his lip feeling frustrated, the omega felt a kiss on his forehead.
— It's all right, Nath.
Jake stepped away and laid the babies in their crib, then turned back to Nathaniel and opened the tunic he was wearing, leaving his chest exposed. And then he came back taking one of the babies and laid it on Nathaniel's chest, carefully and arranged the omega arm around.
When Nathaniel felt his babies lying on his skin, his heart sped up. Jake stood by his side holding his arms and making sure that Nathaniel enjoyed the moment.
— Our little Ariel was born first. And then our Luquinha was born.
Nathaniel looked at the two babies and smiled weakly under the mask. With a weak hand, he stroked the cheeks of the two with lightness, seeing them react with a smile while they slept.
Two little babies, shrunk in the breastplate of the one who gave birth. Nathaniel felt his life had a new meaning now.
— Welcome, my children.
