Hi!
As per usual in my omegaverse universes, omega pregnancies last 6 months - the 12 weeks scan is at 8 weeks, and the six month gender scan is at four months, their body sorta resets after birth (leftover from when they were used for breeding & needed to be ready to have another one quickly) they breastfeed for about a month after. The birth is kinda? detailed - contractions and screaming more than actual details
Cwtch/Cwtched/Cwtching - It's a Welsh word, here it's meaning a cuddle or hug (but like nicer, cosier and more personal than a hug if that makes any sense?) The word can also mean a small cupboard/cubbyhole
After not presenting as an Alpha or Omega during their teenage years, both Dazai and Kunikida had been tested just after their twentieth birthday. Yosano insisting that every Agency member needed to be certain of their second gender, in case it could cause a problem with a future mission.
Kunikida's test was clear - he was and always would be a Beta.
Dazai's test however, came back inconclusive. It wasn't unusual as a few people were late bloomers, he would just need to be careful dating in case a heat or rut came on him unexpectedly. He would be tested again every six months.
Dazai and Kunikida had started dating just after they turned twenty-one. It surprised their co-workers, but they had never seen Dazai or Kunikida so happy. At twenty-five they had bought a house together, and had married three years later.
They were now twenty-nine. Dazai's test had never stopped coming back as inconclusive, but the doctors had agreed at his age, presenting was rare and it would be easier for him to live as a Beta unless his body decided otherwise. It was fine for him, he and Kunikida were happy with the life they had.
They also had their own way of experiencing life as an Alpha or Omega, it being one of their favourite things to roleplay in the bedroom. As Beta's they could sense the scents of others, Dazai being particularly sensitive to them, but it was rare for it to affect to the point of distraction. So, they used fake pheromones – in the form of perfume and body lotion, and toys, there was quite a selection to chose from and they had great fun trying them out. They generally switched who took which role, but recently Kunikida usually found himself being the Alpha to Dazai's Omega. He didn't mind, they trusted each other, had strong communication and more importantly the nights were fun.
Tonight, Dazai had requested some time alone before they started, he wanted his 'Alpha' to find him just as he was tipping over into 'heat.' Kunikida was allowed to put on one squirt of the Alpha Pheromone perfume whilst he waited, if Dazai wanted the scent stronger, he would use the lotion on Kunikida.
Kunikida paced in the living room whilst he waited for Dazai to call for him. He was wearing a pair of loose pyjama trousers, and one of Dazai's t-shirts. The Alpha pheromones were starting to affect him, and it took a lot of willpower not to start touching himself, as Dazai was incredibly petty and the last time Kunikida had started without him, half the night had passed before he'd been allowed to touch Dazai.
"Doppooo!" Dazai yelled from their bedroom. Kunikida quickly turned the lights off in the living room, checked the front door was locked, and made his way upstairs. He paused in front of their bedroom door, as planned, getting ready to knock,
"Mm'Don't care! I need you knowwww" Dazai whined from inside. Kunikida sighed, pushing open the door,
"Did you overdo it on the spray again?" he asked as he entered, stopping when the scent hit him. The room was full of the smell of strawberries and something Kunikida's mind identified only as 'home'. Kunikida didn't remember buying a strawberry scented omega pheromone spray, but Dazai did shop without him, liking to surprise his husband with new things.
"Kunikidaaaa, I'm too hot." Dazai whined. Kunikida made his way over to the bed, Dazai was naked, skin flushed, and hair sticking to his face.
"Are you okay?" Kunikida put a hand to Dazai's forehead, "you're burning up, you need medicine and rest, not sex."
"Mmm my Beta's touch is nice," he leant further into Kunikida.
"Osamu, I'm not doing this if you're ill. We can do this another night."
"But I need you," Dazai practically wailed, hands on the bottom of Kunikida's t-shirt and trying to pull it off. "My Beta will make it better."
Kunikida sighed, letting Dazai pull his t-shirt off, knowing an ill Dazai was far more melodramatic and clingy, so he may as well indulge his husband, then curse him later when they were both ill. With his top off Dazai started kissing around Kunikida's neck where he'd rubbed some of the pheromone-perfume.
"I don't like it, the smell is yucky" Dazai pouted,
"Let me move and I'll wipe it off." Kunikida replied, Dazai grumbled but let him move. They kept pheromone removal wipes on the night stand, as Kunikida used them it allowed him chance to look at the perfume Dazai had used that night.
It was still in its packaging and wasn't anything they hadn't used before.
"Dazai? Where did you put the pheromone spray you used tonight? Or did you go for a lotion?" Kunikida asked as he returned the bed, Dazai dragging him in for a kiss before replying.
"Spray? Lotion? I didn't use any." He smiled, he was still hot and his eyes were becoming unfocused. He ran his hands down Kunikida's sides and started to pull the trousers down, "Enough talking, I need my Beta, I need you to fuck me, get rid of this weird feeling."
"Weird feeling?" Kunikida asked, concerned, he shifted and pulled his trousers off as Dazai was looking close to just ripping them off. Dazai chose to ignore Kunikida, answering him with a kiss instead – the sort that made Kunikida focus only on Dazai. He ran his hands down Dazai's sides, and started teasing at his ass, surprised to find that Dazai had prepped himself.
"Mmm is that what you were doing when I was waiting? Fingering yourself open ready for my alpha cock?"
"Beta, my mate is a beta." Dazai babbled, "I…I didn't prep myself, Kunikida does it so well, it feels so good."
"But…you're wet…?" Kunikida trailed off, he gently pushed Dazai down so he was lying on the bed, his legs automatically spreading into an Omega present. As Kunikida took in his husband – flushed and presenting for him like an omega, the room full of an unusual scent, and…
"that's slick…" Kunikida murmured, as he realised his husband was having his first heat, many years too late.
"Mhmm what?" Dazai was too out of it to understand what Kunikida was saying. Kunikida knew he should call Yosano for advice or at least see if they had any condoms, but Dazai was looping his arms around his neck, pulling him close.
"Fuck me, mate me, bond with me, make me yours Doppo… please." Dazai finished the request with a kiss. Kunikida couldn't say no to that, he threw away the fears, and gave into Dazai's request.
Eighteen hours later, and Dazai's heat had faded. Kunikida had manged to keep Dazai awake long enough for them to shower and to change the sheets on the bed. As Dazai cwtched into Kunikida to sleep off the night, Kunikida messaged Yosano, who advised him to make sure they both drank a lot and to force Dazai to eat if necessary. She would see them both for a check up on their next day in work. Kunikida put the phone down and cwtched into Dazai, his first heat had been tiring for both of them.
A few hours later Dazai woke Kunikida up with a kiss.
"Thanks for last night. I don't think one of our roleplaying nights has felt so real before." Dazai smiled
"Dazai… it was real. You're an omega."
"Oh… well thank you for helping me through my first heat… I wasn't too needy, was I?"
Kunikida laughed, "You're always needy and that's why I love you."
Dazai pouted, shifting in the bed and whining, "Ah-owww, oh that aches…"
"Need a hand?"
"Hmm I don't need to move just yet," Dazai cwtched back into Kunikida instead. They were silent for a few minutes.
"Kunikida-kun?"
"Yes?" Kunikida asked suspiciously, he was only called 'kun' when Dazai had done something wrong, or had a request they both knew Kunikida was going to say no to.
"Why does my neck ache? You've not really been into biting me before…it's usually the other way around."
Kunikida kissed Dazai, "I'm sorry and I should've asked permission first…it's a bonding mark"
"You made me yours on my very first heat?" Dazai asked with awe in his voice.
Kunikida nodded "Again I'm so-" he was interrupted
"That's so sweet!" Dazai pulled Kunikida in for a kiss, "What? Did you think I would be mad? I've married you, it's not like we could be anymore bonded, this is just the icing on the cake" Dazai smiled.
"But you married me as a Beta what if you want an Alpha now?"
Dazai shook his head, "I want you, I love you, I don't give a fuck about our second genders, as long as I can spend my life with you. Got it?"
Kunikida smiled, kissing Dazai in reply. "Okay, okay I get it. I'll go run you a bath to help with the aches and then we'll have something to eat. After a heat is new to both of us, so you're going to have to tell me if you want us to do something else okay?"
Dazai nodded, "Thanks"
6 weeks later
The last few weeks had been a learning curve, but they finally felt like they were getting used to Dazai being an Omega. He was clingier than before and his moods were a bit unstable as his body got used to the changes that came with his first heat. As they had bonded, Kunikida also had to deal with being more protective of Dazai, it made missions apart interesting, but Yosano had assured them it was normal.
They had just came home from celebrating their one-year wedding anniversary, they had gone to a fancy restaurant and spared no expense trying everything that took their fancy. Dazai flopped onto the bed, as Kunikida hung his coat on the wardrobe.
"Urgh I feel like I'm gonna burst, I don't think I'll need to eat for a week!" Dazai declared.
"Thank you for a lovely night." Kunikida smiled
"Well, I never spent it as a teen so may as well put all the Mafia money to use" he smiled. He rubbed his belly, he'd eaten so much he had a little bump "Hey Kunikida – it looks like I'm pregnant!" Dazai laughed. Kunikida didn't, Dazai pulled himself up to see why his husband was so quiet and noticed the tears in his eyes.
"Are my jokes that bad?" Dazai asked as he made a come here motion with his arms, Kunikida sat next to him and Dazai pulled him close, "What's wrong?"
"I know it's just a food baby, but I've just realised we can have a baby now. No stupid rules stopping us because we're ability users and 'that may be too weird' for the child or it 'messes with the IVF procedure.' We can actually have a child, I mean if you want to. Just because we can doesn't mean we have to."
"No, I do." Dazai smiled, "I talked to Yosano about it, she said realistically we can conceive a child from my first heat, but so my body can get used to the changes, the omega instincts kicking in and all that, it's best if I have a year of heats first. We can learn my heat patterns then and work out the best time to start trying. It's why she gave you those fast action birth control pills, it's better if we wait."
"That's fine," Kunikida pulled Dazai in for a kiss, "All these changes, we could be celebrating our second wedding anniversary with a little one on the way, how exciting is that?"
"Let's hope my heats align then" Dazai smiled. "C'mon lets get ready for bed, I don't think either us have energy for anything other than sleep."
"True." Kunikida laughed.
They got ready for bed and cwtched in together, quickly falling asleep.
The next day, Dazai was best friends with the toilet, having managed to avoid whatever bug Dazai had picked up, Kunikida chose to keep his distance. He still made sure Dazai drank enough and would clean the bathroom and bucket he'd taken into the bedroom as and when Dazai needed him to. Kunikida slept on the landing that night, close enough to help if Dazai needed him. Neither of them slept well that night.
Dazai was still being sick the next day and Kunikida was running out of bland foods to give him. So, he made a quick trip to the nearest store, picking up plain biscuits, yoghurts, bread and some energy drinks for when Dazai's stomach finally settled. He was just leaving the store when he bumped into Yosano, after explaining what was wrong with Dazai, she took him over to the pharmacy section, picking up a few items that could help settle Dazai's stomach.
Kunikida almost dropped his bags when she added a pregnancy test to the pile of items.
"I may be wrong, but it's about six weeks after his heat isn't it?
"Yeah, six weeks yesterday."
"This is around the time Omega's find out, so it's just to rule it out, don't get your hopes up, okay?"
"I won't. It's funny we were just discussing the possibility of him being pregnant in the future just the other night, we ate so much at our anniversary dinner, he ended up with a little food baby." Kunikida laughed.
"Oh, get him to take that test as soon as you get in, and text me the results!" Yosano instructed. Leaving Kunikida to pay.
Kunikida quickly returned home, put the shopping away and went upstairs to Dazai, pregnancy test in hand. He heard the toilet flush and went straight to the bathroom.
"Kunikidaaaa you were gone so long."
"I'm here now, I bumped into Yosano, she gave me some things for you."
"Is it a new stomach?" Dazai grumbled, "Is this my payback for eating so much?" he whined. Kunikida crouched on the floor next to Dazai, rubbing his stomach, despite the fact his husband hadn't kept anything down for almost two days, the little bump was still there.
"It's not payback, if it was, I'd be right here with you." Kunikida kissed Dazai's cheek. "Yosano gave me some medications to settle your stomach…and a pregnancy test." Kunikida whispered the last four words.
"Oh I didn't even consider that." Dazai perked up a bit, "Get out so I can pee, I'll bring it into the bedroom when I'm done."
Kunikida handed over the test, and went into the bedroom. He was just finishing off remaking the bed, when Dazai came in.
"Two more minutes." He placed the test on the nightstand and got back into bed, "Can you rub my stomach please? It seems to help with the nausea"
Kunikida moved so he could do as Dazai asked. He kissed his mates bonding mark as he cwtched closer,
"Yosano did say not to get our hopes up" Kunikida's voice was low
"I know, but it could be a yes Doppo…" Dazai trailed off, trying to stay calm
"It can't be that easy Dazai, but when it's negative, it won't be a permanent no, well I hope it won't be. The next few years are probably going to be filled with waits like this, but it will just make that day we get our 'yes' even more special."
The timer went off.
Neither of them moved.
"Kunikida… I'm scared." Dazai whispered. "Our entire lives could change when we flip this over. I don't know if I'm ready for that."
"I'm scared too Dazai, but look at this way – if…if it's a 'yes' basing on when your heat was, it'll be two weeks until we can see our…our baby, then at least another month, month and a half after that before we can feel it moving about, then another few months before we get to hold it in our arms. So, we may not be ready now, but this is such a tiny step in the journey."
Dazai took a deep breath, "I'm going to be sick again." He grabbed for the bucket, knocking the pregnancy test onto the floor, just under the bed as he moved. Nothing came up as it had been so long since he'd eaten last. They both ended up on the floor, Dazai with the bucket in his lap and Kunikida with Dazai in his lap.
"Why does it hurt so much?" Dazai practically wailed, rubbing his stomach, taking a deep breath as he still felt sick. "Urgh I just want this bug to be gone," he grabbed at the bucket again,
"It's because your stomach's empty" Kunikida went back to rubbing Dazai's stomach, as he did, Dazai leant back into him. After a few minutes Dazai fell asleep, content with his omega in his arms, Kunikida followed him.
When they woke up a few hours later, Dazai was feeling better. They had been so tired, they had forgotten about the pregnancy test. Wanting to take advantage of Dazai having energy, Kunikida ran him a bath, helping him to wash and drying his hair. They then went downstairs Kunikida making dinner for both of them, pleased when Dazai kept down some toast. As they were both tired from the night before, they went to bed early, Dazai settled in with a book, whilst Kunikida showered. Returning to the bedroom, Kunikida was surprised that Dazai was still awake. He pulled on his pyjama's as he spoke.
"How are you feeling now?"
"Better, I still don't trust that this bug is over, but I feel better for the bath and some food." Dazai smiled.
Kunikida made his way over to the bed, frowning when he noticed the stick under the bed – the only things they kept under it were a few boxes.
"Did you drop something Dazai?" he asked confused.
"Huh? No." Dazai put his book down and shifted over to Kunikida's side of the bed to take a look. Kunikida bent down to pick up the stick, dropping it when he read the words. Dazai managed to catch it before it hit the floor.
"I…are we…?" Dazai was struggling to understand what he'd read. Kunikida pulled him in for a cwtch, swinging him off the bed in his excitement
"Yeah…we are." He kissed Dazai as he lowered him to the floor. As they pulled apart, they both had happy tears in their eyes.
"A baby… your baby, I'm so happy Doppo!"
Dazai was now four and a half months pregnant, and was due on New Year's Eve. Yosano was pleased that the pregnancy was progressing well. They were having twins, but had chosen not to find out what gender they were. Today they were at Port Mafia HQ for the fortnightly meeting and they were running late.
The elevators opened, and they were greeted by a nervous looking Chuuya.
"Our apologies for being late," Kunikida greeted him, bowing.
"No need for apologies, Dazai's timekeeping has always been terrible. If they're anything like him I bet your babies will keep you waiting to." Chuuya laughed, Kunikida joined him whilst Dazai glared at the two of them.
"It's not nice being mean to the pregnant one!" he pouted, before laughing. "C'mon I'm not getting yelled at for being late because you two were talking"
"No! I mean uhh some of the Port Mafia staff are running late to, say Dazai have you seen the view now? It's really changed." he led them over to the floor to ceiling glass window.
"When we needed a break but weren't allowed outside as someone couldn't be trusted to come back to work, we'd pick a random floor and take in the view. I still do it now." Chuuya smiled.
"Huh, is that why I find you looking out of random windows in the office on busy days?" Kunikida asked Dazai, who blushed, before nodding.
Kunikida wrapped his arm around Dazai's waist rubbing his bump as they took in the view of Yokohama, Dazai needing no encouragement from Chuuya to start telling Kunikida about some of the things they'd seen from this window. Soon fifteen minutes had passed, Chuuya made a show of checking his phone,
"Oh, we better get to the meeting" he said leading them away from the window.
"Hang on, I need to pee first, Mori never shuts up and you can just feel his annoyance if anyone dares leave." He grumbled, walking ahead of them and pushing open the door to the toilet. Kunikida went to stand guard in front of the door, Chuuya waiting with him.
"I'm glad you two found each other." Chuuya smiled,
"Huh?" Kunikida had zoned out,
"Dazai…he's always claimed to be happy alone, and he could look it on times, he's the master of faking a smile and lying to everyone including himself. But after working with him for so long, I could see that it was always fake. Yet within a few months of dating you, his smile started seeming more real, like he was finally living and not just surviving. I mean you're a saint for putting up with him, I really don't know how you do it, but I guess that's love for you. What I'm trying to say is, thank you. Dazai deserved a shot at happiness and he got it and more when he found you. It makes me happy to see."
The bathroom door opened, making both of them jump.
"And I'm happy for you Chibi." Dazai smiled, "You and Atsushi really suit each other. I'm not the only one who deserved their shot at happiness and I hope you two continue to grow so happily together." Dazai smiled.
"Thank you, Nakahara-san," Kunikida added, "Despite his drama queen moments…"
"Oi!"
"I'm glad I found Dazai to, and he's right, you and Atsushi seem perfect together."
"Thank you" Chuuya blushed, before clearing his throat, "Now, before we enter, I just have to say, this wasn't my idea, but if you try to run, I will stop you."
"Ominous Chibi…" Dazai muttered as Chuuya opened the door.
"Surprise!" a variety of voices yelled out.
"Happy Baby Shower!" Chuuya told them as they entered the room.
Their usual meeting room had been done up with streamers and decorations in a variety of pastel colours, there was a cake in the corner and a small table of snacks in the centre. The ability users of the Agency and Port Mafia were sat around in a circle, each with a gift in hand. A small loveseat was at one end for Dazai and Kunikida. Dazai was stuck in the doorway, tears in his eyes.
"Osamu, are you okay?" Kunikida asked quietly,
"Happy tears," Dazai replied,
Fukuzawa produced a handkerchief from his sleeve, handing it to Kunikida, who wiped away Dazai's tears.
"C'mon lets sit down." Kunikida took Dazai's hand and led him to the seat.
"This," sniffle, "this is lovely." Dazai smiled. Kouyou came over, giving each of them a wine glass filled with Ramune. They both thanked her.
"No one has alcohol, but I wanted to use the fancy glasses," she explained. As she sat back down, there was an awkward silence as no one quite knew what to do next. It was broken by Hirotsu.
"Well, I never thought the sullen teenager I worked with would become a parent one day, but congratulations to the two of you." He smiled as he handed them their present.
"Thank you" they replied,
"Do we open them now? Is it okay if we do?" Dazai asked, confused.
"Of course!" Kouyou replied, "it would be a pretty short party if you didn't."
Kunikida handed the present to Dazai, knowing how much he enjoyed ripping in to presents. Inside were two baby harnesses, in the shape of a bear face.
"I know it will be a while till you need them, but anything half Dazai's going to be a bit of wildcard." Hirotsu laughed.
"Oi!" Dazai pouted.
"He's right…" Kunikida replied. "Thank you."
They set the gift aside.
"Okay! Who's next?" Dazai asked, gleeful. Kouyou was next, she gifted hand knitted blankets, cardigans and a hat and mitten set, one in purple and one in green. Chuuya and Atsushi had joined together on a gift, getting a selection of picture books, three disposable camera's and a photo album.
"I know you've got your phones, but this way you can just snap a picture then get them developed when it's full" Atsushi explained.
"So thoughtful" Dazai smiled.
Fukuzawa was next, gifting two cat soft toys and a selection of cat themed onesies. The Tanizaki siblings got them a hand and foot print kit. Kyoka had got a selection of baby weaning and baby recipe books. Kenji gifted a set of farm yard toys, Akutagawa also went the toy route, with a selection of soft and wooden toys. Mori went with educational books – first words in a variety of languages, a book on numbers and a strategy book.
"I know it will be a few years until they can understand the books, but starting them young is the best way to go Dazai-kun" Mori explained.
Dazai glared, and was thankful for Kunikida replying with a sincere sounding thank you. Yosano gave them a basket of items.
"You may want to unwrap it at home, it's a more practical present. There's a lot of things to make you more comfortable after birth and when you're breastfeeding. As well as medications for typical baby ailments. I know you'll be stocked up but those first few times you never know what to get."
"Thanks Yosano" Dazai smiled, setting the basket aside. Ranpo gave his gift last. Dazai unwrapped a box of sweets, snacks and drinks. It was full of his and Kunikida's favourites.
"Yeah, I know it's a baby shower, but Dada and Papa deserve a little treat to." Ranpo explained. Dazai started laughing,
"Wouldn't expect anything less from you" Dazai replied. "Thank you all, these gifts are so thoughtful and lovely," Dazai teared up again, "Oh and the hormones are being a pain today," he laughed, "but really, this means the world to me, to us…" he trailed off, Kunikida picking up.
"I can't wait for our littles on to arrive and be able to use all of your gifts with them. Whenever we use them it'll bring a smile to our faces that our friends and co-workers put such thought into the items. Thank you" Kunikida smiled.
"Can we have cake now? Pleaaaase?" Dazai asked.
"I'll go cut you a slice, it's chocolate and strawberry." Kouyou replied.
"Mmm you always pick the best cakes Ane-san."
The cake was shared out, they were going to play some baby themed games but Dazai started yawning and Kunikida decided it was time to go home. Kenji, Chuuya and Kouyou helped them to take the gifts to their car. They thanked them again, and started the journey home. Dazai fell asleep before they left the Mafia carpark.
New years eve.
Kunikida was trying every calming trick he had learnt, otherwise he was going to kill his heavily pregnant husband. They had gone to sleep at 10pm the night before and Dazai had been up again at 1am. If it had been due to contractions or other signs of labour, Kunikida would have been more than understanding, but it wasn't. It was officially Dazai's due date and he'd been too excited to stay asleep. It was now early evening, and there was no sign of their babies coming today. Kunikida had dragged them out for a walk, hoping the fresh air would wear Dazai out, but only succeeded in tiring himself. Yosano had assured them it was normal and that to keep Dazai comfy was the best way to go about the day.
"Kunikidaaaaa" Dazai whined, "Why aren't my babies coming to meet us? They're kicking me enough, surely it's time to make their big entrance!"
"They'll be here soon enough, are you feeling okay though? No pains or anything like that?"
"Nope, I feel fine, anxious but fine."
"Why don't we have a nice relaxing bath, then cwtch on the settee and watch a movie till midnight like we always do?"
"Okay." Dazai smiled.
Despite Dazai's huge bump, they both managed to fit in the bath. Still too excited, Dazai took the energy out on Kunikida, washing and conditioning his hair.
"It's been a while since I've been able to pamper you" Dazai smiled, as he combed the product through.
"I don't mind, you're growing our child you needed the pampering more"
"You've put up with all my whims and demands, you deserve more than a little bit of pampering," Dazai soaped up the shower poof and started scrubbing Kunikida's back, "turn round,"
Kunikida shifted around, allowing Dazai to wash his front.
"Hmm I forgot how hot you look. I can't wait until we can fuck again" Dazai grinned, Kunikida pulled him in for a kiss.
"Me to, but remember we don't do anything until you're comfortable." He took the shower poof from Dazai, "swap? It's your turn now."
Dazai nodded, as Kunikida washed and conditioned Dazai's hair, he started to relax.
"I guess it doesn't matter if we don't get to meet our babies today" he murmured, "they're happy and healthy, so as long as they stay that way, I guess I can wait a little longer."
"You're doing great, and I'm sure they'll be here before we know it. You've still got a few hours before it's no longer your due date…" Kunikida trailed off.
"Hmm you're right. What movie do you want to watch whilst we wait?"
"Maybe a Ghibli film?"
"Sounds good," Dazai turned his head to kiss Kunikida.
They finally got out of the bath, and Kunikida dried and plaited their hair,
"If you do go into labour today, it should keep it out of your way." Kunikida explained when Dazai was admiring his hair in the mirror. He'd put on a nightie, he'd grumbled and cried when Kunikida brought it home, fed up of Dazai complaining about his pyjama trousers being uncomfortable on his bump. After much convincing Dazai had put it on and hadn't slept in anything else since.
"It's nice, comfortable, thank you," Dazai pulled Kunikida in for a kiss. "I like that we're matching." Dazai laughed
When they returned to the living room. Dazai was calmer and more relaxed. Kunikida put a blanket over the settee, and sat so his legs were stretched across it, grateful they'd bought an extra-long settee. Dazai settled in-between Kunikida's legs, and Kunikida's hands automatically settled on Dazai's bump. The TV was on but neither of them were paying attention to it,
"I think I'm going to miss your bump. There's something about it that makes me feel so proud, that me a beta was able to knock up a beta turned omega."
"Hmm you may love it, but I can't wait to have it gone, trying to grab anything's been a pain the last few weeks" Dazai grumbled as Kunikida's phone beeped.
"Oh, Yosano said she'll pop by later to see how you're doing, she'll have Kouyou with her if that's okay?"
"Yeah, it's fine, I didn't know her and Ane-san were dating."
"Dazai they've been dating since our wedding how did you miss that?"
He was answered with silence, followed by snores. Kunikida smiled, grabbed the blanket he'd left on the floor, fluffed it over both and set an alarm for an hour, hoping he could get a nap in as well.
Kunikida slept until Yosano and Kouyou arrived at 11:30pm,
"How's he doing?"
"He's been up since 1am and finally crashed a few hours ago. He seems fine though, no signs of labour or anything."
"Are you okay if I check him over?"
"Sure" Kunikida replied.
Content with her check Yosano settled on the other chair with Kouyou,
"He doesn't seem to be in labour yet, but I'd rather stay for a while if that's okay?"
"That's fine, the spare bedroom is set up if you two want to stay the night?"
Yosano looked to Kouyou, silently asking.
"It's fine with me," she smiled, "I may have packed an overnight bag for both of us. Just in case. I'll get Golden Demon to collect the bag and the medical supplies from the car"
"Perfect. Thank you."
"Do you mind getting our overnight bag from the car too, please? The babies first outfits are in it" Kunikida asked.
"No problem"
Golden Demon returned quickly placing the four bags on the floor.
"As you're staying, help yourself to drinks and snacks, this is the quietest he's been all day so I'm not moving" Kunikida laughed.
"I'll go make some drinks," Kouyou offered, "Tea for you?"
Yosano nodded.
"Can I have some water please?" Kunikida asked
Kouyou returned five minutes later, Golden Demon was carrying the drinks and Kouyou had a plate of biscuits. She set the drinks on the table, going to hand Kunikida his water, but stopping as Dazai started fidgeting and whimpering in his sleep.
"Shh-shh it's okay." Kunikida murmured, rubbing Dazai's bump. Dazai woke with a start, confused at his surroundings, before clutching his bump and yelling in pain.
"Kuni—ow-ow, what's happening?" Dazai asked confused, after being unexpectedly woken.
"Contraction, take a deep breath Osamu," Kunikida instructed. As Kunikida calmed Dazai, Yosano moved into action, muttering instructions to Kouyou who quickly went to the kitchen. Yosano grabbed one of the bags, pulling out a bundle of fabric.
"How long was I asleep?"
"It's five to midnight" Kunikida replied.
"Can you lift his bum up a sec?" she asked Kunikida, as Dazai groaned through a contraction. As he stopped groaning Kunikida did as Yosano asked. Over the blanket already on the settee she placed a towel, followed by a plastic sheet and another two towels.
"It should hopefully save your settee." She explained as Kunikida lowered Dazai back down.
"Hospital?" Dazai asked.
"By the time we get to the Agency, and –" she paused, as Dazai screamed, his water breaking.
"Fuck that hurt." Dazai whined.
"You're doing so well Osamu," Kunikida encouraged him.
"and your labour is progressing too fast. You're comfortable and feel safe here, so we'll stay." She wiped Dazai down with the other end of the towel, before removing it. The towel underneath was still dry. Kouyou returned with a bowl of water and a clean towel. As Dazai groaned through another contraction, Yosano instructed Kouyou to set up the weighing scales, as well as two towels to put the babies on. Yosano gave Kouyou her watch so she could take a note of the time of birth.
"Too hot, get this off." Dazai grumbled, trying to get the nightie off, without leaving Kunikida's embrace. Kunikida managed to grab the hem and pull it off,
"Take your top off to." Yosano told Kunikida, "the skin-to-skin contact will help."
As Dazai settled back down, another contraction hit. There was barely a break as another contraction hit.
"Dazai you need to start pushing with your next contraction." Yosano instructed.
"You can do it Osamu, deep breath," Kunikida murmured in encouragement, as Dazai's next contraction hit.
"Oh, it's almost new year!" Kouyou announced. "Ten! Nine!"
"Not helping!" Dazai screamed as another contraction hit.
"I can see a head, big push Dazai!"
"Happy New Year!" Kouyou yelled. Ten seconds later their first baby was born, Yosano checked it and handed it to Kouyou, for measuring and weighing.
"Well done, one down, try and relax before the contractions start again." Yosano instructed.
"Ow-ow-ow" Dazai groaned as the contractions didn't stop, he was gripping Kunikida's hand's tightly.
"Second one's eager, I can see the head already."
Dazai screamed, "Ican'tdothis!"
"You can!" Kunikida replied as their second baby was born, forty seconds after their first baby. Dazai collapsed back into Kunikida's arms, trying to get his breath back.
"Happy New Year," Kunikida whispered, kissing Dazai. Kouyou brought their first baby over as Yosano checked their second baby.
"Congratulations! It's a girl." She smiled as Dazai took the baby in his arms.
"She's beautiful Dazai."
Yosano came over with their second baby,
"Congratulations! It's another girl." Yosano smiled, Kunikida helped Dazai move their first baby over so he could have both of them in his arms.
"She's gorgeous."
"They look so similar, am I seeing things Doppo?" Dazai asked, confused.
"They're identical twins" Yosano explained, "Baby one has a birth mark on her left leg, Baby two has one on her right leg. But give it time and you'll be able to tell them apart."
"You did so well Osamu," Kunikida kissed his cheek.
"Incredibly well," Yosano added, "you were only in labour for five minutes, and technically both of your babies were born at midnight – they're only forty seconds apart."
"Well, it felt like hours" Dazai grumbled, "but they're so cute, it was worth it."
After Dazai fed the babies, he fell asleep. With Yosano and Kouyou's help, Kunikida got Dazai up to bed and the two babies into their cribs.
"Thank you both so much."
"No problem, I'm glad I could help" Ane-san smiled.
"It's not my usual work, but it was nice to be apart of the first moments of someone's life." Yosano yawned.
"There's a second bathroom just down the hall, if you need to freshen up" Kunikida offered.
"Thanks, I'm a light sleeper, so if you need something just give us a shout."
"Thank you" Kunikida replied.
Their babies were now three weeks old, most days, Dazai and Kunikida took well to being parents. Tonight, however it had all become a bit too much for Dazai. It was 3am, the babies were crying to be fed, and Dazai was crying in the bed next to Kunikida.
"I fed them an hour ago, and two hours before that and…and I can't do it again. All I seem to have spent my last week doing is feeding them."
"Yosano said close feedings are to be expected at this age, another week and they'll be onto bottles and I can help you more." Kunikida tried to comfort Dazai. It didn't help and he started crying more,
"Another week and I'm useless!" Dazai sniffled, "Why won't they stop crying! I can't take it. I've got to change their nappies and they're getting fussy when they're being fed and…and…" he trailed off burying his face in Kunikida's chest.
"Dazai shh-shh, take a deep breath. I want you to do one thing for me, can you do that?"
"Maybe"
"That's a start, I want you to take your top off."
"Kunikida I gave birth three weeks ago, like hell am I having sex now."
Kunikida sighed, "That's not what I meant. You can stay in bed, and I'll bring the babies to you. I know you like feeding them in their room, but I think we can make an allowance for just night."
Dazai nodded, too tired to argue. Kunikida gave Dazai a kiss and slipped out of bed, he quickly changed their baby's nappies, and brought them into Dazai, who was sat up in bed. He put some pillows around Dazai and got him and the babies comfy to feed. The babies fell asleep feeding and Dazai wasn't long to follow them, Kunikida took them back to bed and pulled Dazai in for a cwtch, making sure he was warm as Kunikida couldn't get his top back on without waking him. The next day went better, Kunikida letting Dazai stay in bed all day so he could catch up on his sleep, waking him only to feed the babies and eat something himself.
The next morning Dazai surprised Kunikida with breakfast in bed, as a thank you for helping the day before. Dazai fed the babies as Kunikida ate, he had made too many pancakes so Kunikida fed a few to him. Kunikida took the plate downstairs and when he returned to the bedroom, Dazai was reading to the babies. He paused when he saw Kunikida watching from the doorway.
"Everything okay?"
"More than okay," Kunikida smiled, "I'm just taking in the happiness of this moment. My husband and my two little girls all cwtched up together in bed. It's moments like these that make it all worth it." Kunikida slipped into bed, kissing Dazai, and taking one of their daughters into his arms. "I love you so much Osamu."
"Love you to, Doppo. Now, it's your turn to read" Dazai smiled, handing him the book as they cwtched in together, content in their happiness.
