I'm still not sure if this is gonna be a huge multi chapter fic but, when I feel the need for some Bendriel fluffyness, I will update this!
I'm following the same pregnancy cycle as in my other A/B/O fic...a normal wolf's is about 2 months so in my verse it's about 4 mths.
This is gonna be a really short fluffy slight angsty chapter.
Alfie groaned as he slowly got up from the couch...he had to pee...again. For the last hour the pup chose to cuddle with his bladder...or that's what it felt like anyway. After relieving himself he waddled back to the couch and pouted. Benny was at work and he was lonely and bored out of his mind. His mate would be back in a few hours but still...
The last two months had been the best of his life. Everyone in his family had been so shocked to find out he was pregnant...and before his brother Castiel. His father had been so proud of him but his mother had said some pretty hurtful comments.
Not that it mattered, his brother was so happy for him and already loved to spoil his unborn niece or nephew. Dean was even getting excited and had clicked with Benny almost instantly. He had been so relieved...he really liked Dean and would hate it if his mate and him didn't get along. They were even talking about buying a house close by so they didn't have to be too far from the other. The thought made him smile.
There was a soft knock on the door and Alfie turned to glare at it. He still wasn't at his biggest but it didn't mean he wanted to walk around more than he actually had too. His heart leapt when the front door slowly slid open.
"Alfie?" he heard Cas call out and he sighed with relief.
"In here Cas," he called back. His older brother came into the family room with a huge smile. Leaning in he gave him a kiss on the forehead and sat down, his hand rubbing at his belly.
"How are you two feeling?" he asked. Alfie felt a wave of warmth flow over him. It didn't matter that he was constantly compared to his brother...Cas never made him feel worthless...he loved him.
"We're ok...bored and lonely but ok," Alfie smiled. Cas wrapped his arm around him and pulled him in closer. He sighed softly snuggling against his older brother.
"I'm glad I followed my instinct to come visit you then. You feel up to getting some ice cream?" Cas asked. Alfie licked his lips...he could handle waddling around for a little while. Cas chuckled at him and helped him get dressed. When they were changing out his shirt he caught a brief glimpse of envy in his brother's blue eyes. Feeling a bit nervous he quickly pulled on his shirt.
They crawled into Cas's car and made their way over to the mall, Cas making sure to walk a bit slower as they reached the cold stone creamery. Alfie took in a deep breath of the sweetness of the store and ordered the biggest most chocolatey thing they had. Cas grinned at him and the female clerk completely fawned over his belly.
Choosing to sit outside, Alfie quickly dug in only to freeze when Cas sighed heavily across from him.
"Alfie...I have to tell you something...but I don't want you get upset," Cas said. Alfie frowned and let his spoon drop into his bowl.
"What is it Castiel?"
"Mom...she's been getting on my case about getting pregnant...and wants me to actually see a fertility doctor cause it's been two years...and I'm still puppless," Cas said. Alfie swallowed hard, reaching over to grab his brother's hand.
"But I know I'm not...Alfie...all I have ever wanted for you is for you to find someone like I have...to have a family and to shove it in everyone's faces that you are just as good as me...I fucking hate when they compare you to me. Dean actually feels the same way I do...Sam, his little brother got the same treatment. Sam still hasn't found his mate...but he's more interested in his education. Anyway...mom doesn't know this...no one except Dean does actually...but I've been on birth control this whole time," Cas said. Alfie's eyes widened, his breath caught in his throat.
"But...why? Cas...you could have a whole litter by now!" Alfie cried out, wincing at the slight pinch in his stomach. Cas's brow furrowed and he quickly reached over to rub at his belly.
"Because...of all things...I wanted you to have this first. Mom's a bitch...but Dad...he's always been proud of you and loved you...and if you give him his first grandchild well...then he has ammunition to shut mom up for a while," Cas smiled, tears forming in his eyes. Alfie swallowed at the sudden lump in his throat and pulled his brother closer, fingers clinging into his shoulder. Now it made sense...the little looks of envy he would catch slight glimpses of.
"Cas...I...I don't know what to say...what if I had never found Benny though?" Alfie stammered wiping away at his tears. Cas huffed out a laugh wiping at his own face.
"Dean and I decided if you hadn't found a mate by our 5th year...then I'd get off the birth control," Cas answered. Alfie shook his head, running his fingers through his hair.
"I can't believe he was ok with that..."
"Dean loves you Alfie...he even had plans to just take you away from our parents house if you hadn't been able to find a mate after our time limit."
"I...still don't know what to say...but thank you...for being so good to me Cas," Alfie said softly. Cas leaned over and kissed his forehead again, a bright smile etched on his face.
"Your my little brother...of course I'm going to look out for you," Cas said. The brothers laughed and continued to eat their ice cream. The sweetness and his brother's confession lifted his spirits enough to walk around the mall. They were about to pass by a baby store when Cas's eyes lit up, dragging him inside.
"So...are you planning on stopping them after I give birth?" Alfie asked. Cas smiled and bit his lip.
"Dean wants to wait until after 6 months...wants it to just be us for a little while longer," Cas answered. Alfie grinned at him and picked up a really soft baby blanket. They would have to get the nursery ready soon...the spare room was filled with boxes and gifts that his brother had no shame showering him with. He was hoping...this weekend they'd start since Benny was off for four days.
He turned a corner and bit his lip...he found the cradles. It was one thing that he had to force Cas to not get him...he wanted to pick it out himself. His hands touched at the smooth wood, sighing softly at the images it brought to his mind.
"Well, well...if it isn't my little Omega..." a growl emanated from behind him. His eyes grew wide as he spun around...the Alpha who had fought Benny stood in front of him, a dangerous smile on his face.
"I'm not your Omega...you lost that right when you walked away...excuse me," Alfie stammered trying to walk around the man but his large hands grasped his arms.
"If I had known how good you would look swollen with a pup...I'd have taken you right there," he growled and Alfie tried to pull away, whimpering low in his throat.
"I have a mate...let me go!" Alfie shouted, hoping to catch someone's attention.
"He's not here to protect you this time...I'll rid you of his filth...and then knot you until you are carrying my own pup...how does that sound little one?" the Alpha said, his tone menacing as he whispered it in his ear. Tears streamed down Alfie's cheeks...this Alpha wanted to kill his baby! Something wet touched his neck and he screamed, his limbs thrashing against the solid weight pressing against him.
There was a thunderous growl and Alfie collapsed to the ground in a heap when the Alpha was ripped away from him. There was snarling and the sounds of snapping jaws...Alfie didn't see any of it. He curled into the tightest ball he could to protect his baby, his face pressing into his arms. Things like this weren't supposed to happen anymore! Years before Alfie had even been born, laws were put into place to protect the Omegas...making it solely their choice to pick their mates. There were several alphas who fought against it...and even went rogue kidnapping several Omegas.
"Alfie! Oh my god Alfie!" he faintly could hear his brother shouting. There were hands on his arms and he screamed flailing wildly but stopped when the scent of the sea filled his nose. His head snapped up and whimpered when his mate's face filled his vision.
"Baby...are you ok?" he growled softly cupping his face. Alfie started to nod but stopped, shaking his head with jerky movements. Benny scooped him up and held him tight to his chest. Cas rushed over to them tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Alfie? Did he hurt you?" he choked out. Alfie didn't answer, just kept his face hidden in Benny's neck. He didn't know how he was here...but he honestly didn't care.
"Come on...let's get him home. Dean can come get your car later Cas..." Benny said leading them out of the crowded store.
Benny was furious...he'd left work early to get something for his mate at the mall. He had caught a slight trace of his scent but pegged it to be coincidence...but when he heard that scream. Everything in him seized up and roared with panic. He tore through the store to find that jack ass trying to mark him...his mate. The alpha had the gall to look surprised when Benny threw him off...teeth and claws tearing at each other. The Alpha finally got the message and ran out of there.
Cas came out of their bedroom, his eyes bloodshot and exhausted.
"Benny...I am so sorry..." Cas stammered. Benny hugged the Omega to him and sighed.
"It's not your fault...neither of you thought this would happen...I've called Dean and he's on his way to come pick you up," Benny said softly.
"Thank you...he needs you..." Cas said and moved to sit on the couch. Benny took a moment to calm his breathing before making his way to the bedroom. Alfie was curled up under the blankets...his chest squeezed at the very soft sniffle. He stripped down and crawled under, molding his body to his mates. Alfie shivered and leaned into him, his small hands grabbed at his arms to wrap tightly around him.
"I'm so glad you were there," he whispered. Benny gritted his teeth and nuzzled his face in Alfie's neck, catching both his mate's and pups scent. When they got home, Alfie practically ran to their bathroom, scrubbing at his skin so hard it turned pink. It took his brother to finally calm him down, holding him close in the shower. Benny wanted to be in there with him but he stopped himself...he didn't want to scare his mate than he already was.
"I love you cher...I'll always protect you," he said kissing at his shoulder. Alfie hummed softly and rolled over onto his back. Sleepy blue eyes looked up at him as his hand touched the side of his face.
"I know...I love you two Benny," he said with a small smile, his thumb tracing at his bottom lip.
"Are you two ok?" he asked almost too quietly. Alfie guided his hand to his stomach, both of them gasping at the little kick.
"That's never happened before," Alfie laughed. Benny slid down and nuzzled his tummy, kissing and licking at his skin. Alfie moaned and Benny couldn't help growling at the scent of his mate's arousal.
"I'm ok Benny...I promise. I was...really scared...but I'm ok and so is the baby apparently," Alfie smiled down at him. Benny nodded and nuzzled his hip, grinning at the giggle it got out of him.
