The next few weeks flew by, with autumn starting Dazai's schedule was packed with meetings from clients who had taken the summer off. Dazai and Fyodor still managed to eat together each night and Fyodor noticed Dazai was getting hungrier, he put it down to his increased work load, but most nights Dazai would sneak some food off Fyodor's plate or go scrounging for snacks after they'd eaten. Fyodor allowed it as Dazai was keeping up with his exercise routine, and honestly, Dazai was happy and Fyodor didn't want to ruin that.
It was the day of Dazai's heat, and he had spent the past two days throwing up. Yosano had offered him some anti sickness tablets dissolved in a glass of water, but he hadn't managed to keep them down long enough to work. He had been banned from work until he had forty-eight hours of not being sick, as Yosano didn't want to deal with an outbreak amongst the staff.
Dazai and Fyodor were currently sat on Dazai's bed, the sickness had died down enough for him to leave the bathroom,
"Urgh my stomach hurts Fedya." he whined
"Here let me rub your stomach. It may help." Fyodor moved to pull up Dazai's t-shirt, knowing skin to skin contact was good for an omega. Dazai stopped him
"No." Dazai blushed, "I…I've put on some weight with all the extra food I've been eating, I don't want you to see."
"Dazai you're beautiful to me regardless of how you look."
"Please."
"Okay." Fyodor rubbed Dazai's stomach over his top instead. It was long before Dazai was pushing him off and running to the bathroom, Fyodor followed. He sat behind Dazai, holding his hair back and murmuring comforting words. Dazai flushed the toilet and leant back against Fyodor.
"When is it going to stop Fedya? I can't face a heat feeling like this."
"What if you aren't going to have a heat?"
"Don't be silly, I can't be pregnant."
"Why not? I'm pretty sure when we spent those three and half days having sex I was actually in rut, and you definitely went into heat. Increased appetite is an early sign of pregnancy and morning sickness is common around the six week mark. Do you feel like your heat is coming?"
"Not really, I feel content, happy to be with my alpha, but I don't have that weird urge that comes before my heat. But I have been throwing up for the past three days. I don't think I could feel anything other than an achy stomach right now."
"I still think you might be," a pause, "there's a test in the cupboard, humour me my love."
"Fine,"
Fyodor got the test out of the cupboard and they read the instructions.
"Can you leave a sec? I'm not peeing with an audience"
"Let me know when you're done." Fyodor left the bathroom and waited next to the door.
"Set the timer," Dazai called out and Fyodor went back into the bathroom, Dazai cleaned his teeth as they waited, he wasn't feeling as sick now. The timer beeped.
"I'm scared Fedya." Dazai whispered.
"Me to."
They picked the test up together, turning it around
Pregnant – 6 weeks.
They dropped the test in surprise, and Dazai flung his arms around Fyodor, kissing him
"Thankyouthankyouthankyou." Dazai practically chanted when they pulled a part
"We did it!" Fyodor was grinning.
"Who'd have thought seven ish months ago that we would be here, expecting our first child together." Dazai knew he babbling but he couldn't help it, he was so excited. He arms were still around Fyodor but he had to pull away as he was sick again.
"Tell Yosano," Dazai managed in between being sick.
Fyodor texted her, and got a reply almost immediately
"She said congratulations, and that she's busy today but she'll come and check you over tomorrow, work out when you can go back to the office, then set the date for our eight week scan."
"Great,"
Five minutes later and Dazai was feeling better, so they went back to bed. Fyodor couldn't keep his hands off Dazai, hands rubbing over what they know knew was the beginnings of his bump. Dazai placed his hand over Fyodors and leant in to kiss him.
"I love you." Dazai said
"I love you to." Fyodor smiled.
"Huh that wasn't as scary as I thought it would be," Dazai smiled, "I love you. I love you my beautiful Fedya. Ooh it's actually fun to say."
Fyodor laughed, "I will never tire of hearing you saying that or telling you, I love you Dazai, I love you so much it almost scares me." he smiled, and pulled Dazai closer, he kissed his neck where the bond mark was and Dazai relaxed into his hold.
"Mmm that's better, it's like you've taken the edge off the sickness."
"Good, you rest now Dazai, I'll be right here when you wake up."
Yosano had popped into their room when Dazai was resting, taken his blood and returned at ten the next morning. Dazai and Fyodor were in the bathroom, so she made herself a cup of coffee and waited for them.
"Sorry Yosano! I didn't realise you were here." Dazai apologised as they returned to the room, they sat on the bed, Dazai had been being sick since 2am and was tired
"It's no problem, my morning is free anyway. I run the blood I took last night and yes, you are definitely six weeks pregnant. Basing on when your last heat was, you will be due around Valentine's Day."
"When will the sickness stop?" Dazai grumbled from where he was lying in Fyodor's lap.
"Usually around your eighth week."
"Urgh two more weeks?!" Dazai almost cried at the thought.
"Do you mind me asking some questions about how you conceived, just so we can have a better idea if you chose to have another child."
"But that's a long way off….right?" Fyodor sounding slightly afraid at the prospect of more children.
"I've always wanted a big family Fedya," Dazai murmured, "but we can discuss that another time." Dazai sat up so he was facing Yosano. "My heat came really early, it was about 3 weeks early?"
"I woke up that morning feeling really strange, all I wanted was Dazai. I wanted to be as close to him as physically possible, but I thought I was just ill, so I told him to stay away."
"His scent was really strong when I went to my meeting that morning. All I could think about was going back to him, making myself pretty for him. So I did…" Dazai trailed off,
"All I could smell was his scent and all my body was telling me was to go and have sex with him. So I did."
"It sounds like you went into Rut and Dazai, you were definitely in heat?"
Dazai nodded
"Hmmm that is unusual, heats and ruts almost never align, and it sounds like Fyodor's rut influenced your heat. Can I check your neck Dazai?"
Dazai sat up and moved the collar of his top,
"No bandages?" Yosano asked, surprised
"No, they were feeling really uncomfortable against my skin and it's not like Fedya hasn't seen it all before."
Yosano looked at the mark on his neck,
"That is a good, strong bond mark. Dazai, do you mind taking your top off so I can check you over?"
Dazai nodded, pulling the top off. Yosano murmured to herself as she checked Dazai over,
"Your bump is growing well, expect it to have a little growth spurt in your seventh week, you'll go from being able to easily hide it, to noticeably pregnant almost overnight. Your breasts haven't started to change yet, but the amount your being sick it isn't surprising, your body will probably start producing milk when the sickness has died down."
"Milk?" Fyodor asked
"Yes, omegas almost always breastfeed their babies, compared to a beta's child, an omega's takes exceptionally well to it. Bottle feeding is always an option and they will go onto that when they've had enough of their mothers' milk." She explained
"I've got an omega pregnancy book in the bookcase if you want a read" Dazai told Fyodor,
"Thanks"
"Have you noticed any routine in Dazai's sickness?" Yosano asked
"Yes, he seems fine after noon, it takes us a few hours before we trust it though, and then he's fine till about one? Two am? It really is living up to 'morning' sickness."
"Hmm, you'll still need to go to meetings won't you?" she asked Dazai
"Yeah, it's quite a busy time for us,"
"Switch them to the afternoon, you'll have less chance of being ill and as you are that busy, no one will wonder why you're so tired. The chance of problems isn't as high as with beta's but, I'd rather you try to keep it a secret until you've had your scan."
"What about telling Ane-san, Hirotsu and Fukuzawa? They're going to have to plan for my maternity leave and any problems that might occur during my pregnancy" Dazai asked
"Those three will be fine, but only them."
"Great, I'll meet with them tomorrow then."
"I'm going to leave you to your rest, if you have any worries or problems you know where I am, if not I'll see you in two weeks for your scan." She smiled and left.
Dazai was knackered but he had made it through the last fortnight, and he was practically bouncing as he and Fyodor left his flat and entered the elevator. His bump was clearly showing now, and much to Dazai's delight, Fyodor had bought him some pretty maternity clothes (unsurprisingly his partner couldn't take another evening of Dazai complaining about the fit of his clothes and having no time or energy to shop)
Yosano was waiting for them next to the elevator, she led them through a door next to the elevator that Dazai hadn't remembered seeing before, the door locked behind her. The corridor was short and led to four rooms. Each room was en-suite and had everything to support a pregnant omega.
"I've never got to use this space before, it's only for pregnant omega's, there's the same setup the other side of the elevator for Alpha's and Beta's. I've asked two nurses to join us today, they'll be with us for every check-up and the birth, if either of you struggle with their scent let me know and I'll find someone else, they are Beta's but just in case." Yosano finished talking and opened the first door on the left. A bed, with a chair next to it and an ultrasound machine was setup in the centre of the room, a small window was next to the bed. A desk was next to the door and the two nurses were sat at it. Dazai and Fyodor said hello to the nurses,
"Please do not touch my partner, his ability is touch driven." Dazai told
"Dr Yosano has already told us, thank you"
"Okay, get up on the bed Dazai, and pull up or take off your top, whichever is more comfortable for you." Yosano instructed, Dazai got on the bed and took his top off, Fyodor took the seat next to him. Holding Dazai's hand when he'd gotten comfortable.
"I'm going to check the babies first, then I'll pull the screen around for you to have a look."
Yosano started moving the wand on Dazai's stomach, and a few minutes later when was content, she moved the screen around,
"Congratulations, you're having twins." She smiled. "They're both very healthy, and growing well, you're definitely eight weeks."
"They look so pretty Fedya." Dazai smiled
"I thought there would be more? That book you gave me said that if you conceive during a rut there could be up to quadruplets?"
"Usually there would be, but as you couldn't conceive during Dazai's normal heats, twins are what I had anticipated you having" Yosano explained,
"It's fine Fedya, we're going to have two beautiful babies," Dazai laughed, "I get my heir, and a spare. Well, I could see them both leading, together." Dazai smiled.
"I'll print out two copies of your scan?" Yosano asked
"Yes, that'll be lovely thank you."
"I'd like to see you monthly for check-ups, and your four month scan will be the week of Christmas, but if you're not feeling right at any time, even if you think it's for something stupid, please come and see me."
"Thanks Yosano" Dazai replied.
Fyodor helped him to wipe off the jelly on his bump, Dazai put his top back on, and they left.
Much to Fyodor's surprise, instead of returning to Dazai's flat, Dazai stopped the elevator at the ground floor of the building and led him out the front door.
"I have something to show you. It's just a short walk." Dazai took Fyodor's hand. They passed a few coffee shops and stores, each house was set in its own land and hidden behind a high wall, it was mainly a neighbourhood for the rich. After a few minutes of walking Dazai stopped in front of a small black gate, he pulled out a set of keys and let them in.
"I thought we could raise our children here." Dazai explained. The house was set off to the side, with a large garden, a car sat in the drive. Dazai led Fyodor to the front door and let them in,
"The house is already fully stocked, beds, furniture, appliances, we'd just have to setup the babies rooms. There's five bedrooms upstairs."
Dazai gave Fyodor a quick tour and then they returned to the kitchen.
"This house is lovely Dazai, when do we move in?" Fyodor asked.
"You want to move in now?" Dazai asked surprised,
"I just assumed that's why we came today,"
"I… I don't want to yet, with the babies due in February and the weather can get quite bad then and I don't want to have to try and get to headquarters in the snow or drag Yosano here or what if something goes wrong-" Dazai was getting more worked up as he talked, and was starting to cry.
"Breath Dazai" Fyodor pulled him in for a cwtch.
"I'm being stupid, aren't I? We can move in today if you really want to."
"Shhshh, Dazai you are growing two babies for us, I've done my bit, I'm here to support you and whatever decisions you think are best for you and our babies. I just got a bit carried away with excitement. I have a beautiful partner, we got to see our beautiful babies for the first time today and then you've brought me to this beautiful house that we'll make our family memories in."
"I guess it did look like I was aiming to move in now." Dazai smiled, tears drying, "the car on the drive is for you by the way. A client gifted it to me years ago, and it is basically a family car, nice and spacious inside. No one likes my driving skills, but as you've passed your Japanese test, I thought you could have it. There is a tracking device in it, and I'd rather you only stay within half an hour of here, but it gives you some more freedom. The insurance and everything is already paid for."
"You didn't have to Dazai."
"I wanted to. I know our partnership can't quite be equal yet, given your criminal tendencies" Dazai laughed, "But it's a start."
"It's perfect, I love it all Dazai," Fyodor pulled him in for a kiss. "What do you want to do now?"
"Take me for dinner, I feel like I can keep it down today." Dazai smiled.
"Whatever you wish" Fyodor smiled, "Love you Dazai"
"Love you to."
