It was an incredible feeling, the Omega's never felt so alive and to see the world from the sky was breath taking. Lovino had been gentle with him along with the other Avian that helped to carry him. "You sure I'm not too heavy?" Alfred asked half way through their journey.

"No." The Prince answered looking behind him. "But I'd be more worried about the other half breed."

Sure enough when the Omega looked back he saw it too. A look of pure horror as Jason clung tightly to the Avian's neck. "God damn it, these fucking heights." He managed as he wrapped his legs around the man's waist. "Pork Chop what the fuck were you thinking?"

"I was thinking this was a good idea. I didn't know you were afraid of heights."

In a flash Jason growled out. "I'm not afraid of anything! This is just so fucking unnatural to be this high up in the god damn sky!"

"Maybe to you but remember we could have left you back there Motherfucker." Lovino answered back as he stopped. "And don't forget he could have dropped your sorry ass!"

"Whoa calm down." Alfred glared at both men as the others watched. "This isn't the time to do this; I mean you two can fight when we get to the palace right?"

Jason was about to say something when Arthur spoke up. "I swear to god if you don't stop right now when I go into heat you'll have to wait outside the door with nothing but a sock to keep you company."

Most hid their faces trying not to laugh while Jason and Allistor looked on. Jason in horror again while Allistor was disgusted. After that point their journey was in silence with Allistor occasionally sending daggers in the Jackals direction as a certain Hyena snickered.

He was concerned slightly that his new family members might kill each other but once they were landed and the whole city cheered those worries disappeared. Though Lovino didn't seem as happy to see his brother, nor really wanted the hug he was given. "I don't like hugs."

"But Lovi."

"Go away you bastard..."

That was a few hours ago and now all of them are sitting around one of many large tables in a dining hall. The air is full of laughter, music and the smell of cooking meats while the tables are piled high with fish and exotic fruits. Most around have their plates full but for Alfred he's barely touched anything. With his mates scattered all over the room he sits alone moving his finger around the brim of his wine glass.

His eyes glaze over, his other hand rubbing his swollen stomach slowly. "You okay, Kid?" Abel lays his hand on the younger's shoulder.

Forcing a smile Alfred nods. "Just a little tired I guess." He rubs his temple before standing up with the help of the Neko. "Not really in a partying mood with sucks."

"Yeah," Abel answers resting the back of his hand on Alfred's forehead.

Quickly Alfred bats it away. "I'm not sick just really tired. I mean after all those months it's probably my body yelling at me for all that work."

"True..." Abel turns towards the others at the table. "Lovino, can you show us to our room?"

When the prince looks up Alfred sighs. "You don't have to come with me."

"Hey, who said you were the only one that wanted a nap? I haven't had a good one in over a year and damn it I think we could both use one." He loops his arm around Alfred's waist. "The others won't know we're gone." He gives a smile though he has his doubts so once they reach their room he turns back to the Avian. "Go get Allistor and Art."

"He's not okay is he?"

Abel gives a chuckle. "He will be in a few hours but...tell Gilbert too." Once Lovino nods and hurries back down the hallways the Neko turns back to his mate sitting on the bed struggling to take off his cotton pants. "Having a problem?" He's rewarded with a nasty glare.

"Funny." Alfred struggles before giving up and going for his belt instead. "It's more comfortable without pants."

Kneeling down Abel pulls off his lover's pants. "Well everything or most everything is more comfortable without pants but that's just my opinion." He throws them to the side before climbing into the large king sized bed. "So up for a massage to help you sleep?"

Alfred answers with a weak smile. "That would be awesome."

Just as Abel starts to knead his feet the door opens as the two foxes enter. "Oi, should I come back later?" The look on his Omega's face is enough for the Fox to know what's going on. "Mind if I check our little girl?" He asks walking over in large strides while Arthur remains by the door. "I think we all know don't we?"

"But when Leon was coming," Alfred starts as Allistor lifts his shirt. "He came pretty damn fast and really it didn't feel like this."

Allistor nods, moving his agile hands before like always kissing Alfred's stomach tenderly. "Each one is different. He was a boy and she's a girl. Not ta mention the breed difference so she'll take a bit more time."

"But she is coming."

"Yeah give her a few hours and she'll be here." He rubs Alfred's stomach slowly before laying his shirt back down. "Try and sleep then we'll see where we're at alright?" When Alfred nods he turns to his brother. "Art go get my cup of tea and get the fucking towels ready."

"And some olive oil please." Abel rubs his hands together before going back to Alfred's legs. "So just relax and well go to your happy place."

"Yeah sure." Alfred says draping his arm over his face feeling a familiar pain shake his body. "Fu-ah..." He gasps as his mind goes to any place but there. "Where is Leon?"

"Shh he's with Gilbert having dinner. They'll be here soon."

Slowly Alfred opens his eyes. "You know...your voice is only that gentle when...we're having sex or I'm giving birth."

Smiling Allistor runs his hands through Alfred's damp hair. "Well next time yah just want ta cuddle I'll talk like this." Again he turns towards the door seeing Gilbert with their son. "Leon's here do you want him?"

"Will he remember this?"

Pulling a chair over with his free hand Gilbert answers, "He's too young."

"Good." Alfred reaches over and takes his son's hand. "Hey there Buddy..." Again he winces, reaching out for Allistor's hand. "Why does this fucking hurt so god damn much?" As soon as the pain arrives once again it leaves.

For the next few hours the group waits soon to be joined by the other Fox, though his mate as well as the Prince and Hyenas remain just outside of the door. Each one worried for the man they've grown to see as a brother. "This is bullshit." Natalia sighs hearing his pained moans from within. "There are plenty of healers I mean." Her cold eyes turn to the Prince. "Go get some already. He's in pain and I'm sure they can help with it."

Lovino shakes his head. "If they wanted healers they would have asked for one." While he says it he has his doubts. "Though...if it will make you feel better I'll go talk to my brother about it."

"Yes, the poor boy's been in there for nearly six hours." Irene turns towards the door before taking Lovino's hand. "Please?"

As Lovino's cheeks redden the Jackal picks up Lei and without another word walks into the room and sits at the far end with the child on his lap. Arthur looks over, his eye brow raised when the Alpha clears his throat. "The kid should learn where babies are from and since he's what a healer in training..." He looks away feeling most of the other Alphas looking at him.

"You can stay." Gilbert answers watching the man nod. Soon he's joined by the long blonde haired Hyena. Both are sitting silently avoiding eye contact, one holding the boy tightly while the other silently prays.

Alfred looks over one or twice before turning back to Abel purring gently. "How much longer?"

"Well..." Abel sighs looking up at the Foxes. "If they're ready and if you're ready it could be a few minutes."

Arthur looks up confused though Allistor nods. "What?"

"Do it."

"Gil, take Leon back." Abel starts as he shifts so he's behind the Omega as soon as the child is off of his chest. "Take a deep breath." His voice is stern and once Alfred takes a large inhale his fingers find a pressure point. Before Alfred has a chance to object the Neko has taken control. "Just keep breathing."

"Ah, what are you doing?" Alfred winces as his body shudders and rocked with a large contraction.

Abel's hands move to another point and another. "My magic is a little different."

"You're hurting him!"

His blue eyes turn to the Hyena glaring daggers at him. "Sit back down. You can stab me later." He says never taking his fingers away from their spots. He's thankful when Jason takes her hand and pulls her back down into her seat. "Alright, Alfred you ready?"

"I was ready hours ago." His body is rocked again as he starts to push. While he feels the Neko's hands go to yet another pressure point but instead of feeling the large pain it lessens most of it. "Thank you..." He manages weakly, his body growing numb from the Neko's touch. As he tries to focus his mind has other ideas, taking him back to a conversation over a year before.

"One more." He hears and with a single scream he falls back into Abel's arms, exhausted.

Allistor takes the child from his brother happy to see that once again he was right. "It's a girl." He says turning to the Omega only to find him weakly smiling. "You ready to hold her?"

"Yeah..." He says reaching out for the newborn fox. Like her brother she has deep blue eyes but her hair is a light red. "Clara..." She looks up at him in wonder as he kisses her forehead. "Kirkland?"

"Jones." Allistor answers taking the baby back into his arms. "Now rest. You've had a hell of a day and don't worry we'll be here when yah wake up."
