Prompto wasn't particularly nervous or anxious about his unusual stomach sickness, increased urination, tenderness on his breasts or recently tiredness. Maybe it was that he was having hard time with his middle term exams, or that he stayed late with Noct last night playing games…
No, he never thought it may have anything to do with his 16th birthday party and the heated moments he shared with the man he had a crush since he saw it .
But now he was seating in a bathroom stall in the mall, after he bought the pregnancy test when some words of the school nurse made him uncomfortable.
"Did you take the secondary genre test?"
"No… but I'm a beta, I'm sure of it."
The woman looked at him a little suspicious.
"Please, let me take a blood sample. It's just a small pinch, I put it in these reactives and it's going to confirm it. It's just a ten minutes test."
He barely felt the pinch on his finger and the woman put it in differents reactives. After a few minutes, the reactives colors started to change, from green to red, orange and then purple.
"Well, I can made it again and can send a sample to the institute, but this color confirms you're a omega."
Prompto looked at the small reactive, speechless.
He was sure he was a beta, he never let any strong pheromone and Noctis, being an alpha, never showed special interest on him.
He left the infirmary with several information sheets about his body and the changes he was passing, but a particular article about "omega pregnancy and its symptoms" caught his attention.
Then he went to the other side of the city, to a small 24 hour shop and bought the test. He had it for a week in his bg, until he had the strength to use it.
Two marks.
Positive
He felt cold in his back and the throat dry.
He remembered that, when things got heated that night, Ignis didn't came inside him, because he was knew that Prompto still wasn't sure of his secondary gender. But even so, he got pregnant.
How the hell?
"... studies have suggested a failure rate of 15 per cent to 28 per cent per year using the coitus interruptus technique"
Why nobody teached these things at school?!
He sighed and felt something run down his cheek: a tear.
What was he gonna do now? He couldn't go to the doctors and say it just like that, and even if he agrees for an abortion, the low birth rate in Lucis made it almost impossible, if not illegal (only rape victims, and altered mind persons could request it to a judge, and a doctor could do it only if the bearer health was at risk). What was Ignis going to say?
Shit.
Ignis.
He could see his green eyes and responsible behavior, talking to his parents and promising taking care of everything. Ignis will even agreed to marry him if he asked.
But Ignis didn't love him, or not as Prompto wanted him to do it. Ignis life was Noct's, every step and decisions he made always concerned the young prince first.
The young blond covered his mouth when a scream tried to escape through his lips. The music of the mall and the people voices covered his whimpers, and someone hit his door. He said a squeaky "busy" and waited for the bathroom to get empty before he exited his stall.
In the dirty mirror, a ghost with red eyes looked at him. He washed his face and took deep breath. His cell phone vibrated: it was Noctis, asking if he was going to stay the night to play some games.
Iggy is going to make your spicy curry
Well, sooner the better. And maybe he could get the bravery to speak to the young assistant.
"Oi, are you there?"
Noctis was looking at him a little confused after Prompto's missed three times in a simple mission.
"Yeah, sorry, I think I'm a little tired". A growl emerged of his belly. "And hungry."
"Specs, is diner ready."
"In a minute, your highness", came Ignis voices from the kitchen. Prompto closed his mouth, trying to keep his anxiousness at bay.
The taller young appeared with two plates and served them their food. Prompto usually loved his spicy food but suddenly the smell and the vision of the plate made his stomach turn.
"So-sorry!", he got up an run to the toilet, where the remains of the coke and some chips got flushed away.
Noctis was behind him, concern evident on his face.
"Buddy, are you sick or something?"
"No…"
"I can call a doctor or take you to the hospital, you may catching something." Ignis voice, always so firm and practical. Prompto felt tears in his eyes.
"No, is fine, I think I'll go home."
"Let Iggy take drive you home." Noctis voice, hiding his concern.
"No, I'm fine! I think the walk will help me."
"Walk?" Incredulity in Ignis voice.
"Prompto, your house is too far by foot, and it's late."
"Prom…"
Prompto felt his world starting to turn around. He made a step and then he carpet was suddenly very close.
The rest was blurry, but he could remember Noctis holding his hand and a doctor touching his arm, checking his heart, blood pressure and sugar levels.
"... omega…."
Prompto felt his body went numb. He didn't wanted them to know like this.
"What?"
"He never showed the signs", Ignis said, his voice a little less firm.
"A small number are late bloomers, and can pass as beta all of their lives because their low level of hormones. Nonetheless, they can have heats (obviously less evidents) and have children of their own, as any other omega. These type of omega also can get pregnant by betas, that's the really difference with the other types."
A unknown phone ringed.
"Well, as I expected. The result of the blood sample. He is pregnant, and his low sugar level caused his fainting."
There was a moment of silence - Prompto could swear he heard somebody gulping - and then Ignis voice asking:
"What? Are you sure?"
"The hCG is positive to the results." Some rustled sounds, steps on the carpet and a door that opened. "He should be careful, since he is in a very early moment of it and can have a miscarriage. He should avoid stressful situations and over exercises. He should eat something light until his stomach feels better."
A sigh.
"Thank you, doctor."
"You also should contact his parents, and the father of the baby. A single omega is in a very sensible and delicate state and he needs the comfort of his family and friends. Also, he is a minor, he should be checked for abuse signs."
"We will. Please keep this confidential."
The door closed and Prompto opened his eyes. Noctis face appeared over his, concern evident on his features.
"When did you knew?"
"Of the pregnancy or that I'm a omega?"
"Omega."
"A week ago, at school. The baby… today."
Noctis sat against the chair that he was sitting. He crossed his arms, uncrossed them and then looked at his friend, evidently confused and concerned.
"And the father…"
Ignis appeared in the threshold. Prompto couldn't avoid look at him, even when he felt his face burning with shame. His beautiful beta crush.
"Ignis… It wasn't on purpose."
Noctis got up.
"Wait a second, if anyone is at fault is Ignis. He is the older one and he should know to be careful."
Ignis ruffled his hair, evidently confused and not knowing what to do or say.
"Well.. well… I…"
"I'll keep it."
"What-"
"I would never ask you or force you to do something against your desire, but, are you sure about it? We can wait for the baby to be born and give to adoption to a good family."
"No!"
Prompto curled up in the bed, bringing his knees to the chest. The tears started to run again.
"Great, look what you did."
Ignis sighed heavily and got close to the young omega. Hesitantly, he touched his shoulder and then the boy uncurled and throwed his arms at Ignis. The young beta hugged him close, caressing his golden hairs.
"I'm sorwy Iggy…"
"Don't worry Prompto. I'll take care of everything."
