"Feeling any better?"

Dean snapped the buttons on Tommy's onesie shut as he called over his shoulder to Seth.

"Noooooo."

His best friend's voice was a feeble whine as he crawled over to the long bench currently occupied by Amy and poured himself on to it, settling his head in her lap. She brushed his hair back from his face and shared a look with Jamie, stretched out on the lounger beside them, his own lap currently too full of the baby on the way to have room for his grown up pregnant son. He reached up and patted Seth's ankle.

"My poor munchkin. It'll pass...you just have to hang on in there."

"The only thing I'm hanging on to is the toilet, Daddy. I swear Finn's put some kind of alien in me. It's not a baby at all…"

Dean scooped Tommy up from the blanket he'd been laid on to change his diaper and joined the others. They were all stationed on Seth and Finn's shady back deck, supervising the removal of the fence between the Bálor and Reigns households by their alphas, Joey and William assisting their son's mates.

"Stop being so melodramatic, Sethie. I'll fix you some ginger tea once this little guy has been fed. Now move your feet. We want to sit down too, don't we baba?"

Seth lifted his legs to allow Dean to sit, laying them right back down again once he had settled in his spot. Dean merely rolled his eyes and rested the arm cradling his son on top of his friend's calves. He deftly popped the fastening on the strap of the nursing tank he wore and held Tommy close as he latched on and started to suckle. Soon the soothing milky scent of happy baby and contented omega washed over their little group. Seth's wave of nausea started to ease enough for him to swing his legs round to sit upright when Dean switched Tommy over to the other nipple.

He peered over at the work party, catching Finn's eye as he tossed a fence post into the growing pile of rubble. He smiled and waved at his sweaty mate, Finn rewarding him for his attentions by stripping off his shirt and blowing his omega a kiss. He returned to his task with renewed vigour, his alpha instinct to impress his mate with his ability to provide a good home given a boost.

Amy dragged her eyes away from her own mate, turning to face the two younger omegas.

"So do you know what you're going to do with the gardens once the fence is gone?"

"Not yet, Mom. I think we're just going to fill in the post holes and any patches of grass for now and decide what to do in the spring. We've got a while before this little man here and Sethie's alien are running about after all."

"Hey! That's your niece or nephew you're talking about! Don't call them names!"

"You're the one who said Finn knocked you up with an alien!"

"Yes, but I'm allowed. It's my alien."

Dean laughed, the shaking motion unsettling Tommy who registered his sleepy displeasure with a whine.

"Sorry baba...you all done? You can go get some cuddles from Grandma while I go make Uncle Sethie some tea."

"I'm feeling fine now."

"I know. But I also know that you'll be feeling not fine in about another ten minutes, so you're getting ginger tea and you'll be drinking it."

"Wow Tommy...I hope you grow up to like your vegetables, because your papa's going to make sure eat them all up."

Dean stuck his tongue out at Seth and handed Tommy over to Amy who immediately started cooing and babbling at her grandson. He stood to go into Seth's newly renovated kitchen to make him some of the tea he himself had found so helpful at the start of his own pregnancy. Jamie flapped a hand at him as he passed the lounger.

"Help me up, I've got to go pee again...don't know what you're smirking at, munchkin. You've got all this to look forward to."

He heaved himself up with Dean's help and followed him into the house. While he was out of earshot, Amy took the chance to discuss the plans for Jamie's baby shower. She ran through a few of the ideas she's had, seeking Seth's opinion.

"I know it's still ages away, but I want to make it really special. I think he deserves the fuss after how long he's waited for this baby...oh shoot...he's coming back...I'll call you tomorrow ok?"

Jamie sat back down on the other side of his son in the seat Dean had vacated.

"What are you two so chatty about?"

"Nothing much...Amy was just asking me if I'm having any cravings yet."

"Are you?"

"I don't think so, I really wanted one of Mina's peanut butter stacks last night and I made Finn go out to get me one before they closed, but I always love those so I don't think it counts."

"What counts?"

Dean appeared with a mug in hand, he handed it to Seth and stood over him until he took a sip.

"Me wanting Mina's desserts, it doesn't count as a craving…"

"Nah, that's just you having a sweet tooth and having Finn wrapped around your little finger."

"Like you don't have Roman at your beck and call. I remember the night you made him go looking in every specialty store in town for those weird English cookies and in the end he had to go wake up your dad to see if he had any stashed away."

Dean giggled at the memory.

"And then poor Romie was almost ill when I spread them with peanut butter and mustard."

Jamie, Seth and Amy joined in with his laughter, the older omega and beta sharing their own stories of humourous pregnancy moments and the troubles they put their hard done by mate through until their merriment wakened Tommy, and fence finally removed, those same poor put upon alphas joined their adoring mates to relax and enjoy the last of the September sunshine.
