Chapter 7

One Hour Ago…

Victor couldn't believe it! His sister was going to have a pup of her own with her husband! He had begun to remember bits and pieces thanks to pictures of who Evia's husband was – some Australian Olympian. But that was neither here nor there. The point was, she was going to become a mommy!

Even though Victor was thrilled beyond belief, there was still a part of him that was a tad jealous. But why? Had he and Yuuri been trying for a family of their own prior to the accident? Had there been setbacks? There had been instances over the last few weeks where Victor could feel his secondary taking over, wanting to make itself known – especially when it came to Yuuri. Sometimes it had frightened Victor, other times it intrigued him. he really wished that he could remember more about his life just prior to the accident.

As he picked up his cellphone off the bedside table, he decided to go back and ask Yuuri if he wanted to go on the walk with him and Luka. It would be a nice change of pace. Perhaps they could go down to the coffee shop and get some tea for the afternoon.

Just something different.

As he began to turn the corner into the living room, where he had left Yuuri sitting, from the hallway, bits of the conversation that Yuuri was still having with Evia caught his attention.

"…in the right direction. He did seem thrilled earlier on the phone with you once he found out that you were pregnant. So perhaps he will be even more so when I tell him that we are having pups of our own." Yuuri said speaking into the phone.

Victor's eyes blew wide as he stood motionless in the hallway for a moment. Had he heard correctly? Did Yuuri mention something about pups of their own to his sister?

No. No. No. It couldn't be, could it?

Slowly and quietly making his way back down the hallway, Victor turned towards the front door and called for Luka. Grabbing the dog's leash, he turned around just as the large poodle came barreling towards him. "Come on, boy. Let's go for a walk!"

The dog barked in agreement and danced around as Victor hooked the leash to his collar. Moments later, they were out the door and heading down the street. Luka led the way, while Victor was lost in a daze of his own thoughts – recalling what Yuuri had said to Evia.

Was his omega husband really pregnant? Were they going to become parents within a few months? Had they known before the accident? If so, why hadn't Yuuri told him already? There was no way that Yuuri could go through a pregnancy on his own – especially when his alpha was there as well.

That brought Victor's feet to a stop. Luka turned back to look at him, wondering what the hold up was.

Tears began to roll down Victor's cheeks as the realization of the entire situation took hold of him.

Yuuri had been protecting Victor for the last several weeks, allowing him to recover and possibly regain some memories. But at what cost had it taken on the omega? Hell, Yuuri wasn't just an omega – but a pregnant male omega!

Feeling weak in the knees, Victor found that Luka had led him to the beach. Seeing some nearby rocks to sit on, Victor moved towards them and sat down before letting Luka off his leash for a few minutes to run. As he sat there and watched Luka, he couldn't help but let more tears fall. What kind of alpha was he if he couldn't even remember something life changing as him and his mate finding out that they were going to become parents.

Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes for a moment. He had found that just shutting everything off to the world for a moment had helped him over the last few weeks, so hopefully it would now. But instead it revealed something…

A memory.

'...I'm pregnant,' Yuuri said with tears flowing down his cheeks. He handed the pregnancy test to Victor to look at. The platinum haired alpha took one look at the test then smiled brightly at his husband before pulling him into his arms.

'I can't believe it! we're going to be daddies!'

In his arms, Yuuri cried harder. Not from sadness but from happiness…

He had known! Holy hell. He needed to get back to Yuuri and it needed to be now…


Tears continued to fall from Yuuri's eyes as he gazed into the vivid blue eyes of his husband. "You remember the pregnancy test?" Yuuri managed to ask as he placed a hand on top of the one that Victor was holding against the baby bump.

Victor nodded, placing his other hand against Yuuri's cheek. "I can't make up for the last few weeks of being an absent alpha, so to speak," Victor said. "But I'm sure going to make up for it now."

Without hesitation, Victor swept Yuuri up into his arms and carried him bridal style back into the living room, where he sat down on the couch with Yuuri firmly in his lap. Once there, he begins to kiss and nip at the scent glands along Yuuri's neck, while also rubbing the inside of his wrist against the baby bump. Yuuri purred with happiness as he began to scent Victor back as well.

As they bonded pair spent the next little while scenting and re-scenting each other, Yuuri felt some of the tension that he had been feeling slowly dissipate.

He finally felt like things were going to get better.

"Yuuri, I just want you to know that everything – all the feelings, all the uncertainty – scare me. I know I still don't remember everything, but I am remembering more and more over time. But this," he said, placing his hands back on the baby bump to emphasize his point. "Scares me the most. I hope I have what it takes to be a good mate, a good husband and a good father to your and our pup – even with memories still coming back to me.

"It's not a pup," Yuuri said as he pulled out of Victor's grasp and moved to pick up his cell phone from the table. He quickly found what he was looking for before handing the phone to Victor. "We're having pups. I'm pregnant with twins."

Victor looked down at the photo that was now displayed on Yuuri's phone. It was an ultrasound picture from a few weeks ago – taken days after he was discharged from the hospital. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

There on the screen in front of him, were his pups.

The pups that he and Yuuri had created out of their love.

Tears slowly rolled down his cheek before he found Yuuri kissing his tears away. "Come with me tomorrow. I have another ultrasound." Yuuri calmly said. "We'll be able to hear their heartbeats."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." Victor happily said before pulling Yuuri closer to him.

Celebrations could be had later. Instead Victor simply wanted to hold his husband close to him and bask in their love.

If this wasn't the way things should be, then he was going to make it that way. He might never become his old self, so it was time to start some new trends when it came to Victor Katsuki-Nikiforov.


AN: Happiness!
