Warnings: angst, mentions of possible abortion, some fluff uwu

Time Setting: This chapter takes place before the events of LOAC's main story. Sasuke has yet to meet Naruto; etc...

Haku's vision blurred as he stared at the pregnancy stick. The electric blue plus sign signified that he was pregnant. He wrapped his arm across his stomach. The tea he had sipped while waiting for his results looked diluted. Everything was losing its sharpness. The kitchen counter, the coffee machine, the pink box of cupcakes Itachi had bought him last night all merged together into one big blurry mess. Tears rolled down Haku's cheeks.

This couldn't be happening.

What was he going to do? His relationship with Itachi was so brand new. Haku cared about the alpha more than he was comfortable to admit out loud but what was Itachi's reaction going to be? Right now they couldn't even go outside together without being hounded by paparazzi. Haku had to cancel various fashion shows and photoshoots because of the increase of attention. They weren't even an official couple in the public's eye. There was speculation and rumors but now...there was no way they could remain hidden.

A curt knock sounded on his apartment door followed by the sound of the door opening. Itachi let himself in as he always did ever since Haku gave him the key-card to his apartment. Haku didn't try to run or hide. It was better Itachi found out now because if he didn't Haku didn't know if he'd have the courage to tell him later when the secret literally became too big to hide.

"Before you start complaining, I only bought you one sweet today. I couldn't help myself." Itachi took his shoes off and walked over to the kitchen counter where Haku was leaning with his back to the door. "It's a candied strawberry with chocolate in the center. Sweet just like you." Itachi put the prettily wrapped strawberry on the counter right beside Haku's cup of tea. "Why are you so quiet? Usually by now you're scolding me for buying you junk food." Itachi had yet to notice Haku's tears. It wasn't until Haku turned around that Itachi saw the tears in Haku's eyes along with the pregnancy stick he had clutched in his hands.

"Is that," Itachi swallowed. He stared at the pregnancy stick like he had never seen one before in his life. "Is that what I think it is?"

"Yes." Haku hated this. He hated feeling so insecure. He wasn't used to being scared and much less scared of an alpha. But he was scared. He was terrified of what Itachi was going to say next. If Itachi didn't want it...if Itachi asked him to get rid of it Haku would break. "I'm pregnant. It's yours." Haku didn't have to say it was Itachi's baby. He had only been having sex with one person and that person was Itachi. They had done it so many times. Fucking almost everyday like they were touch starved. They had gotten careless. How many times had Haku allowed Itachi to fuck him raw because he knew it felt better for the alpha that way? How many times had Haku allowed Itachi to knot him? How many times had Haku begged Itachi not to pull out when he came?

Yes, they had both been stupidly careless. Haku had believed by taking a morning after pill they'd be safe. But then he stopped taking the morning after pill. At some point it became redundant so he had stopped. Itachi never said anything about it either. When Haku stopped taking his birth control Itachi had known it and never commented on it. It was like they weren't even trying to prevent this current situation from happening but rather were hoping for it.

"I'm keeping it." Haku hugged his stomach. There was a life in there. However small it was there was a life growing inside him that he and Itachi had created together. He was scared, so very fucking scared. His career as a model was over now. If Itachi didn't want the baby he'd have to find a way to support himself. "I'll move back to Russia so you won't have to deal with us and the media. I still have family there. They'll support me until I can find a place of my own. You won't have to worry about us at all. I'm sorry but," Haku rubbed his stomach, "I won't get rid of this baby."

"Haku," Itachi was suddenly so close, he pulled Haku into his arms, setting his nose right at Haku's scent gland. "You're not going anywhere."

"Huh?"

"I won't allow it." Itachi said sternly. It was as if he was offended at the mere thought of Haku thinking he could leave. "You're mine. You and the baby belong to me. I won't allow either of you to leave me."

"You're serious?" Haku couldn't believe it. Itachi had so much to lose if he chose to be with him and their child. His parents would never accept an omega like Haku for their son. Society would look down on Itachi for getting an omega pregnant with his child too. He'd lose his reputation forever. "If you stay with me you can't go back to how your life was before you met me. You know that right?" Haku wanted Itachi more than anything. He wanted their child to have both its parents in its life but he didn't want Itachi to regret this decision.

"Yes, I'm aware what will happen but did you really think I would leave you because of this? I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you. I wouldn't have had unprotected sex with you if I didn't want this to happen," Itachi placed his hand right over Haku's hand still on his belly. "Truthfully, I've knotted you raw so many times I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner."

"Tachi!" Haku cried and hugged his alpha tight. How had he gotten so lucky? He never intended to fall in love or to get pregnant but he couldn't be mad with the way things had turned out. "I was so scared you were going to leave me. This isn't like me at all. To be so dependent on an alpha isn't me." Haku was done trying to act like Itachi was a normal type of fling. The alpha was and always had been so much more. From the very beginning, the day they had locked eyes on the runway, Itachi had completely captivated him.

"I'd never leave you." Itachi inhaled Haku's scent. "And I'm not just another alpha, I'm your alpha."

"Tachi," Haku hugged around Itachi's waist. "This will be the last time I ask. Are you sure you want this with me? I'm giving you one last chance to leave."

"I want it forever." Itachi skimmed his nose pass Haku's scent gland and up to his lips. He kissed Haku softly. Haku sighed and let Itachi kiss him, opening his mouth when Itachi licked at his lips. "I wouldn't want anyone else but you to have a family with."

"You better not regret it!" Haku was delighted that Itachi felt the same way he did. "I won't ever let you take it back!" Haku tiptoed and pulled Itachi down for another kiss. This time he took control. Itachi was right. He was Haku's alpha.

And always would be.

"Why are you reading that filth?" Sasuke poked his head over Kisame's shoulder as he stared at the flat computer screen. "It's not real you know. My brother may have it bad for his precious omega but even he's not stupid enough to get him pregnant."

Kisame chewed on his lip as he ignored Sasuke. New pictures of Haku and Itachi out on a date last night had surfaced earlier that morning. New pictures came up every other day so that wasn't what the problem was. The problem was that in the picture Haku had looked a little round in the middle. Through his top you could see the tiny formation of a bump. Then another picture showed Itachi with his hand casually resting over Haku's stomach while they ate at a restaurant. The pictures were everywhere right now. Some people believed it was a publicity stunt while others thought Haku was really pregnant. And then there were people like Sasuke who thought the pictures were nothing to even glance at.

"God, the comments on this shit," Sasuke scrunched his face, "I can no longer love Haku-chan when I know he allowed another alpha to impregnate him. I've supported him since his debut as a model at 14 years old but I can't continue to love him when he's betrayed me. I've devoted my entire adult life to him. I've bought every magazine he's been on the cover of and product he's ever endorsed. As of today I'm going to stop supporting Haku-Chan. I hope he's happy knowing he ruined my fucking life. " Sasuke laughed, "Some of these fans are fucking crazy. Talking as if they know him or ever even had a chance of being his mate. Seriously, why are you reading this shit?"

"Leave me alone." Kisame was trying hard to not break down. He still had four hours to go until lunch. He had to make it until then and then he could cry. He was aware Itachi was hung up on that omega. Every time he talked about him he got hearts in his goddamn eyes. Kisame had hoped it would be a short fling. He prayed that Itachi would get tired of Haku and end it. But no, Kisame's prayers were going to go unanswered. Itachi was going to start a family with that omega. Sasuke had read that comment by the angry fan and laughed but Kisame could relate to it. He had supported Itachi since the first day he met him. He had secretly loved Itachi all this time and now Itachi had betrayed him. It hurt more than he could say.

"Dude," Sasuke clamped his hand over Kisame's tense shoulder. "You need to stop reading this garbage. It's not real. Haku's not pregnant. If you're so worried why don't you ask Itachi yourself when he comes in later?" Sasuke let go, "or don't. I don't really care. It's just weird seeing you get all huffy over this." Sasuke plucked a mint off the bowl of candies on Kisame's desk then left.

Sasuke didn't understand and probably never would. He was a young alpha from a prominent wealthy family. He could have anyone he wanted. He would never have to experience an unrequited love like Kisame was. Kisame just had to make it to lunch. Three hours and fifty-eight minutes to go.

Kisame could and would wait. Maybe Sasuke was right. Maybe Itachi Itachi hadn't gotten Haku pregnant. Just maybe those pictures really were tabloid trash. The more Kisame told himself that the better he began to feel. He'd ask Itachi when he came in. Everything would go back to normal. He was sure of it. With a new sense of comfort Kisame resumed working.

However, Itachi didn't come into work that day nor the next day or the day after that. By the end of that week Kisame found out the reason why Itachi never came in. It was because Itachi had been disowned from the Uchiha family. He was no longer allowed to step a single foot inside Uchiha Corps. And worse of all the rumors had turned out to be true.

Haku was pregnant.
