Roman held Dean in his lap, rocking him back and forth, while rubbing soothing circles on his back. The omega had started to feel the pain, from after being raped. He wouldn't stop crying and whimpering. His alpha tried to comfort him, but it was no use. Roman knew that Dean needed to go to the hospital, but he didn't want to get in trouble with the police, and he also knew that Dean was scared.
He heard a knock at the door. "Come in! The doors unlocked!"
Soon, Seth and Finn came into the kitchen. They both frowned seeing the state that Dean was in.
"Oh god…" Seth gasped. "Roman…how badly did you hurt him?"
"I-I didn't meant to, Seth…it was an accident…" Roman said, looking up at his friends. "I never meant to hurt him."
"We know you didn't, Roman." Finn assured him.
Seth bent down, so that he was eye level with Dean. "Dean…hey. Its me. Uncle Sethie."
"Mm?" Dean turned his head, looking back at Seth. His cheeks were red, and his forehead felt hot. "It…hurs…" The omega whimpered.
"Huh? What did you say, Dean? I can't understand you."
"He said it hurts, Seth." Roman explained. "The rape was so traumatizing for him that he has blacked out again."
"Wait, he is back in his pup state? Does that mean he can't remember what happened?" Seth asked.
"Yes."
"Is he okay? It doesn't look like he is doing so good…" Finn said.
"I-I don't know…I gave him a bath earlier to clean him up, but it seems he is still bleeding."
"Still bleeding?! Roman. I think its time that we take him to the hospital." Seth said.
Roman held onto Dean tighter. "No! I can't! The doctors will ask questions, and when they find out what I did they'll take him away from me! Plus he's scared."
"But Roman, Seth is right. A doctor needs to see him. He'll get sick."
Roman growled at his friend. "I won't let him be taken away from me again!"
"Roman, please…" Finn pleaded with him.
"Ro…don wanna v aken way from Ro…" Dean whimpered.
"Dean." Seth placed his hand on his shoulder. "I promise that nothing bad will happen."
"NO!" The omega cried out. "Safe. Safe with Ro…"
"Don't worry, Dean. I won't anyone take you away from me. I'm sorry Finn, Seth…but we can't go to the hospital."
"Well, since we're not going to the hospital, I had another idea." Seth said.
"What is it?"
"I know someone who used to be a nurse there. Her name is Renee Young. She might be able to help us."
"But how? How will she be able to help us if she's retired?" Roman asked.
"She'll be able to give Dean some medicine, that way so he doesn't get more sicker than what he already is. And she'll be able to find whether or not he is pregnant."
"Seth, I don't know…"
"Please, Roman! I don't want anything to happen to him. Please."
Roman looked back down at Dean, who seemed to be getting worse. His temperature was high, his body ached, was still bleeding, and was shivering. Roman knew that if he didn't get help soon that he could die.
"Alright. Call Renee, Seth. I'm going to go get him ready."
000000000000000000000000
After Seth had contacted Renee, he and Finn drove Roman and Dean over to her place. He told her everything. Well, not exactly everything. Just that they had a sick omega pup, and that she needed to check on him to make sure he was going to be okay.
When they made it there, they walked up onto her porch. Seth rang the doorbell and they waited. Roman had Dean wrapped up in a bundle of blankets. The omega was shivering and whimpering in his arms. He held onto the stuffed rabbit, Moxley, for comfort.
"Ro…"
"Its going to be okay, Dean." Roman soothed him, kissing his forehead.
The door opened. A young, blonde woman stood in the doorway. "Hello, Seth, Finn. Its good to see you two again."
"Same here, Renee." Seth said.
"Who are these two?"
"The alpha here, is Roman. And the omega is Dean."
"Okay. So where is the pup you were telling me about?" She asked.
"Well…uh…you see Renee…this is him right here. We need you to help him." He said, pointing to Dean.
"I don't understand…what is going on, Seth?"
Roman walked up to her. "Seth didn't tell you everything. Dean is a teenage pup, just turned seventeen a week ago. He is my mate, who I rescued from an omega market. He was kidnapped at a young age."
"Okay…but that still doesn't tell me what is wrong with him."
"I…I…"
"Roman raped him." Seth said.
The alpha bowed his head, still ashamed of what he had done.
"He what?!"
"He didn't mean to, Renee. His alpha instincts were too strong, he lost control of himself." Seth explained.
"I'm calling the police."
"What? No, you can't!" Roman yelled.
"You raped an underage omega! How do I know you weren't planning on putting him back on the markets when you were done him?"
"Renee, please! Roman would never do that."
"Seth, I want to believe you, but I can't. For all I know this poor pup might be in danger."
"I've known Roman for a long time. He is a good guy. Cares for his family, his friends, and especially his mate. He loves him, Renee."
"Please, I wouldn't be here right now if I was going to abuse him, or put him back on the markets ." Roman said. "Please, you have to help him. He'll die if you don't. Please."
Renee looked down at the omega that Roman held in his arms. His face was very red, he was shaking, and having some trouble breathing. One thing that surprised her was how he was not scared of the alpha that held him.
"Alright. I'll help him. Hold on, I'll be right back. Just go to the lounge room, while I get some medicine for him."
The four of them headed to the lounge room. Seth and Finn sat on the love seat. Roman laid Dean down on the couch, keeping him covered up with the blanket.
"Ro…it hurs…"
"I know, baby boy, I know." Roman moved his hair, which was now wet from sweat, out of his face. "Renee is going to give you some medicine. She's going to help you, baby."
"Mmm…"
Renee came into the room, walking over to them. She had a bottle of fever medicine. She poured some of it into a cup, and gave it to Roman.
He held it up to Dean's lips. "Here. Drink this. It'll help you feel better."
Dean drank the medicine. He didn't like the taste of it, but he knew better than to spit it out.
Roman petted his head. "Hopefully you'll start to feel better now."
"Okay, Roman. I'm going to ask you a few questions, alright?"
"Alright."
"Is there anything else wrong with him?"
"Well he is bleeding, which I am worried about…"
"He should be fine. The bleeding will stop. If it doesn't, bring him to me."
"Alright."
"Now, there is one thing I'm wondering about…how come he is not scared of you?"
"Well, he was before. He wanted to leave me. But then he blacked out. Its when he starts acting like a newborn pup. It happens whenever he experiences something traumatizing. When he is in this state, he doesn't remember anything that happened to him when he is in his normal state."
"Okay. Well, that's all I wanted to know."
Seth decided to speak up now. "Renee?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think Dean might be pregnant?"
"I don't know. Its too early to tell. Come back to me after a week or so, and by then I should be able to tell if he is or not."
"Okay. So you won't call the police?" Roman asked.
"No. I won't. But if I find out that you're lying to me, if anything else happens to this pup, I will."
"Don't worry. Nothing will." Roman assured her.
"I hope so. I still don't trust you though. Maybe in time I will." She placed a hand on Dean, who looked up at her with a fearful look on his face.
"No…no…don…ake Ro way from me…no…" The pup whimpered, moving away from her. He hid behind Roman. "Safe. Safe with Ro."
"Its okay, Dean. She's not going to hurt you." Roman said, turning around, scooping him up into his arms.
Renee gave him a small smile. "You don't need to be afraid. I only want to help you." She reached out a hand towards him.
Dean looked at it, confused. He hesitated, reluctant to go near this woman. He sniffed at her hand. Soon he realized that this woman was good, that she wasn't going to hurt him. He nuzzled his face into her hand.
Renee petted his soft hair, eliciting purring sounds from him.
Dean may have been hurt by doctors and nurses before, but maybe this one was good. Just maybe, she wasn't like them.
