Warning you. This is gonna be a bizarre story and my take on Alpha/Omega stuffs. You can look it up if you're curious. I just wanted to try my hand at it. And the idea has been in my head forever!
'Nother warning: Mpreg. Tis like a unicorn.
Enjoy!
I had a splendid night with you. Nice food, good sex. Hope we can do it again some time.
It had felt like my heart was breaking and I had dropped my phone to the bed. One text message. That's all I was worth. One night of passion and what I thought was love. Goes to show how much faith you can put in someone.
You know, I don't recall him ever saying 'I love you.' Not once. But I did. Many, many times. I made sure he knew I loved him as he lead me into the house. He had kissed my cheek as I fed him some of the food I was making and I told him again. And once more as we laid down on my bed ready to make love. Even as my body ached with desire, I spoke nothing but sweet words to him. Yet, somehow all I had been was sex. Just a quick lay.
The sad thing is that I would do it again and again.
And again.
Anytime he asked, I would lay out my heart, my soul, and my body. That's how it would always be. Him, the ever wanting predator, and I... I was the giving prey. Ready to give him whatever he wants in a second's notice. No matter the cost.
No matter...
"Sheik? You've been in there a while." Midna's voice broke through the silence and my thoughts.
"I..." My hands trembled.
The bathroom door creaked open. "I'm opening the door. Hope you're ready."
She reached the toilet where I had been sitting for the past ten minutes. Neither of us spoke as I handed her what I had been staring down at for what seemed like forever. Midna's sharp intake of breath warned me that she had seen and in the next few seconds I was in her arms.
"Oh, Sheik." She cooed and patted down my hair.
Finally, I was able to let loose the tears that had been trying to break free. "What am I going to do?"
Her next words made me fill with dread. "We have to tell Auntie."
"I..." Shame was threatening to overwhelm me.
"I know it will be hard, but we can get through this." Her hand lifted my chin and I was staring into Midna's eyes. "You can get through this."
I swallowed heavily. "Do you... think she will be mad?"
"If Impa is going to be mad at anyone, it would be him." Midna placed a kiss to my forehead and crouched down to be below my level. "You hardly had a choice in the matter."
"But I let him-"
"You know how that urge feels, Sheik. You had no choice. It's something you are bound to do by nature's law." Those crimson orbs narrowed into slits. "If that bastard wants you to submit, then your body is not going to refuse."
"I-"
"Shush. Just..." I could see a few tears gathering in my best friend's eyes. "Please. Stop blaming yourself. This is his fault."
My alarm went off and I simply stared at the phone as it continued. I'd been awake for hours already. Sleep was not my friend last night, as I had not been looking forward to today.
A message popped up as the alarm went off a second time. I caught Midna's name and checked it.
Wake up. Time for school, my lovely.
I smiled and texted back.
Just another year full of stress. Maybe I won't go.
But you must come, Sheik! I don't know what I would do if you didn't!
Fine. But only for you.
Yay! I'll be by to get you in a half hour. Be ready!
I set the phone down and hopped out of bed. A shower and breakfast later, Midna was ushering me into her passenger seat. "I can't wait to see Malon again. I heard she got her hair cut over the summer. Oh, and Aryll is finally in high school."
"Don't forget Komali." Our friend Medli popped into my head as I thought of Komali. Would he confess this year?
"That's true. I can't believe he and Aryll are the same age. He's always looked so young." The conversation ended there and we pulled out of the driveway.
Dark was standing against his car as we parked next to him and he grinned as I got out. Even going so far as to open the door for me and help me out. "Morning, beautiful."
He dusted me off mockingly and I scowled. "I'm not fragile, Dark. Shove. Off."
"Can't help it if you look delicate." He caught my gaze and his hardened a bit as he leaned down to whisper in my ear. "And we must watch out for the little one."
A blush heated my cheeks and I pushed him away. "Stop talking. You'll kill the fresh air with your bullshit."
"I can't help it." He wiggled his eyebrows in a way that would be flirty as he leaned back against the car. "And you know you like my bullshit."
I scoffed. "As if."
Midna finally made it around the car and cupped Dark on the back of his head. "Would you kindly get off my car."
"Fine, fine." A heavy arm was thrown over my shoulders. "I'll just get on Sheik instead."
"That sounds disgusting." Midna chuckled as I mock dry heaved.
Dark proceeded to place a huge, nasty, wet kiss to my cheek. "Aww. I'd have thought you would like it."
Once again, he was hit by Midna. "Can we please just go in now."
A pout turned down Dark's mouth. "Only if Sheik lets me carry him."
I perked up. "Piggy back ride?"
He visibly slumped. "Not bridal?"
"I'm not a woman, damn it."
I rubbed my belly after he poked it. "That says otherwise."
Midna had him by the ear in seconds as I tried to control my rapidly beating heart. It was still a sore spot for me even after living with the fact for two weeks and going to get checked properly at the doctor's. I could hear Midna giving Dark a talking to and his hurried apologizes.
They came back over and Dark was hanging his head. "Sorry, Sheik."
I hit him on the shoulder. "Just don't do it again."
He brightened. "Course."
"Okay, guys. Enough of this. Let's go in already." We shared a laugh and I tried to calm the butterflies in my stomach. I knew I would see him.
I glanced at my schedule and sighed in relief.
A Day: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ B Day:
1| Terminan Literature I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ World History
2| Lorulean II _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Poetry III

5| Creative writing II _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Potion Brewing
I dreaded P.E. but Midna already confirmed we were in the same one. Ms. Lulu begged to have me put in her music class and I guess the principal gave in even though I really should work on another magics credit.
I had gotten a pretty easy semester. Hopefully, the next was the same. But I guess it won't matter too much. Impa will probably overreact and put me on bed rest.
Suddenly, my schedule was snatched from my hands and Dark was yelling. "Hey! How did you get out of taking a math class?"
I shoved him as I took it back. "I took a course over the summer."
"No way. They let you do that?" When I refused to answer, he looked to Midna.
She shrugged, but that impish smirk was twisting her lips up. "Only the hard working students that show promise."
"That's a load of-" It sunk in and he turned on her. "Meanie!"
As much fun as it would be to stay here... I rubbed at the back of my neck. "So, I have a meeting with the counselor to talk about a few things regarding when I'll take a leave of absence. Guess I'll catch up with you guys later."
Midna dropped Dark, I have no idea when she picked him up, and stepped over to hug me. "Yeah. We'll save you a seat at the table."
Double 'I love you's came from them as I walked into the office and ran into someone's back. I knew before he turned around who it was.
"I don't understand why I have to take a second art class this year." He was grumbling as he caught sight of me, but then a smile lit up his face. I didn't miss the lustful look in his eyes. "Sheik. How have you been?"
I tugged at the edge of my shirt and tried to keep my eyes on the floor. "That is my business."
The plan was to slip past him, but then he had a firm grip on my arm. "Hey, why are you being so rude?"
"Oh, Sheik. I've been waiting for you." Ms. Spirit, known by the student body as Nabooru, walked up. Her eyes narrowed as she saw what was happening. "Link, kindly remove your hand."
I shivered at the edge in his voice. "I need to talk to him."
"As do I. You will get your turn in due time, but for now I override you." Link backed up and I dared not meet his gaze. Nabooru's warm hand settled at the small of my back and I silently thanked her. "Come along."
The door closed behind us as we stepped into the office that was done in reds and golds. Various large pillows laid about the room along with a desk that looked barely used and many different banners. It screamed Gerudo.
She gestured to a pillow and I sunk into it. As soon as she spoke, it was obvious Nabooru was trying to not touch a sore spot. "How was your summer, Sheik?"
My vindictive side wanted to scream at her about the obvious, but instead I shrugged. She sighed. "Now, Sheik. That gets us no where."
Vindictive side was winning. "Well, what do you want me to say. You want to hear about how I lost my virginity to a complete arse-hole or perhaps how I am now bearing his child. That's what happened this summer. I was fucked and it fucked everything up." Mini rant over, I clutched my shirt and a sob forced its way out.
"Actually, yes. I would rather hear about that then nothing at all. Talking helps."
I sniffled and tried to calm myself enough that I could stop crying. "I thought I was here to talk about when I would be missing school."
"That and more. I really feel like you need a shoulder to cry on right now. You know I'm here."
"What I want is to punch that bastard of a man in his-"
"Please, Sheik. My room is one of patience and understanding, but I will not tolerate violence."
"Sorry. I just..." Tears sprang free again. "Why me? I don't get it! I did everything right and he- Why would he do that?!"
The pillow sank further as Nabooru climbed in. "Let it out."
"An alpha is supposed to love and care for his omega, yet I was stuck with the only one that won't! And to top it off, the first time we ever talked he wanted to come over and sleep with me!"
"How is the baby doing?"
The sudden change of topic threw me off. "Huh... Oh... Good, I guess."
"And what does my Impa think?"
"Auntie wanted to kill Link."
"That sounds like her." Nabooru shifted closer, taking my body under her arm and holding me to her side. "What does she think of you?"
"I thought she would be disappointed, but she only comforted me."
"That's because it isn't your fault. An alpha has this effect over his omega. You couldn't have refused him if you tried."
"Midna said the same thing."
"And she would be right. Smart girl, that one."
The bell rang for class and Nabooru groaned. "As much as I would love to keep you, I suppose you must get to class."
"Thanks, Nabooru. I do feel better." The wall of counselor and student dropped as I hugged her.
"Listen to me more often, kid." She ruffled my hair and we shared a quick laugh. "Make sure to tell Impa I said hi and my love for her is forever burning like the desert sun."
"Why don't you just message her?"
"Oh, right."
"Bye."
"Goodbye, Sheiky. I love you."
"Love you, Auntie Nabs." I smiled and knew I had made her day.
"I don't understand how you can still love him."
"It's the bond, Dark. I can't just ignore it."
"You deserve someone that will treat you right."
"You know as well as I that I can't be with anyone else. My body wouldn't allow it."
"What if there was no sex involved?"
"I... I guess."
Suddenly, Dark clapped his hands over mine. "Let me be yours, Sheik."
"D-Dark! I-I-"
"Just hear me out. Please." I nodded and he seemed to relax some as he settled back into his seat. "I wouldn't ask you for anything in return besides a chance to prove myself."
"You're going to need someone to take care of you and I'm already going to every ultrasound and doctor appointment with you. I know about the fact that your having my brother's kid, but it doesn't bother me. My heart is already so full of love for you and the little one. A stable job is lined up for me when I get out of high school. I can afford to buy you anything you want now and later on, I swear. And even if I don't I will find the money no matter what. I'm serious about this, Sheik. Please, consider me."
"But I can't-"
"I understand that you won't feel for me what you feel for him. That will never change and I know that. I get that any time he wants you, he will have you. Yeah, it fucking sucks, but I understand you have no control over it and I could never be mad for can work around seeing Link by moving anywhere you want. I don't care. I'll find work wherever you want."
Tears spilled over and I wiped them away with the hand that wasn't in Dark's. "You'll do all that? For me?"
He smiled softly. "And more."
"I... We can try."
"That's all I ask."
"I bet you've all noticed Sheik has been getting a little fat, huh." Several nods happened around the room.
"Dark?" I grabbed my boyfriend's arm and tugged until his ear was at my level. "Where are you going with this?"
"Just wait." He pressed a kiss to my forehead and I could feel a smile on his lips. "I promise it will work out."
I shivered as his warm breath washed over me. "Okay..."
Dark nodded and stepped forward out of my grasps. "You all know my brother, Link, right?" Another round of nods and a few catcalls.
My heart started to race, but Midna had a grip on my wrist. "Wait, Sheik. Maybe he is talking about something else."
"There are three types of people in this world." He stepped over to Link and hooked his arm up over the blond's shoulder. "My brother here is what we like to call an alpha. That means he has superior strength, speed, and heightened senses."
Here, Dark flicked Link's nose. My eyes widened at the gesture and I could hear people in the room laugh, Dark being one of them. "Well, there are a few other things that come along with being an alpha. But I'll get to that in a moment. Now. Komali, Zelda, myself, Mido, Saria. Many of us are what we call betas. We're the ones that are normal, though some display traits of alphas. There is not much special about us and that's okay."
"Lastly, there are omegas." I could feel a few stare at me. I knew they were from people that knew what I was going through. "For every omega in the world, an alpha is born or has been born. This is not the same for alphas though. Sucks for them."
A wide grin lit up Dark's face. "But that's okay. You know why."
He jumped towards poor Mido with a wicked grin and even I was scared. "Alphas don't need their omegas to live normal lives. They can settle down with a beta and live normally. But omegas... They are a sad bunch."
Dark tsked and I froze as he stalked the small group, crimson eyes catching mine before he turned away. "An omega can only be with their alpha. Any other is rejected. This makes it hard for omegas to find love. They send the time they live searching for their alphas."
"The saddest part if that most don't find them. And some find them too late. The alpha has already settle down and then the omega is destined to be alone." I noticed Saria watching me from across the room and I tucked my head. "Now let me tell you a story."
"There was once an alpha that couldn't sense his omega. Let me tell you, this is quite important. An alpha and omega can feel each others' presence when close enough and then at a distance after they have been together once." His eyes were now playful. "That's an important part, commit it to memory."
"The depressing thing is that the alpha unknowingly found his omega. He thought the boy was only flirting, but the omega was actually overjoyed that his alpha finally noticed him. They came together like they were destined to." ... "But the alpha left afterwards. The poor boy was devastated and felt completely betrayed."
"I must have forgotten to mention this... Omegas can bear their alpha's child no matter their gender." I flinched as Dark clapped his hands together. "As luck would have it, once was enough and the omega found he was pregnant. Still, the alpha could not feel their bond and his omega was left to himself. Alone. Without the one that was supposed to care for him.
"An alpha is supposed to be there for their omega and he wasn't." A dark chuckle erupted from my boyfriend. "But it wasn't like he knew any better. He had no idea his mate was suffering. That the poor, unloved omega was dying inside and could only cherish the life they made together and hope that the alpha would realize his mistake."
"And with that, we make it back full circle." I could hear gasps sounding around he room as people put it all together. "The reason Sheik is fat is-"
"Augh!" I jerked away from Midna and dashed to Dark, tackling him to the carpeted floor.
He shrugged under me and I could catch the words he whispered. 'You'll thank me later.'
My heart raced as I got off him and looked around the room. People were giving me all kinds of looks. Disgust. Curiosity. Pity. None of it matter though. Link was staring at me opened mouthed. I clenched my hands into fists and hurried out of the room. The door slammed against the wall behind me and I could hear someone following me, but I kept going. I knew without thinking who it was. I could feel the emotions rolling off of him and through our bond. Could feel the desperation in his every step. A part of me had wished someone would have stopped him or that Dark would be sprinting after us. I knew it wouldn't be so. The man that had become my pillar in the past months had shattered everything.
"Sheik!" My whole body tried to freeze and I had to push myself to continue down the hall. I had no idea where I was going. All I knew is that I had to get away. If he caught me...
My back was slammed against the wall and strong hands held my shoulders. "Stop!"
"Please, no." I was shaking in fear and with shame.
"Tell me the truth. Am I... Are you... Is this really happening?"
"Let me go."
"Not until I know." Cornflower eyes looked down into my own and I saw the confliction there. "Are you my omega, Sheik?"
I gasped at the complete rightness I felt as he said my name. "Y-Yes."
"I was so focused on alleviating my own loneliness..." His knuckles brushed my jaw and I whimpered. "Why didn't you say anything?"
"Why would I have. You should have been able to feel what I was. I didn't know any different." Th world blurred as more tears sprang free. "But when you wrote off our night together as a cheap bit of sex, I thought you didn't want me as yours. It's not completely unheard of that an alpha refuses their omega."
"So, this longing for you is because of what you are to me?"
"I don't know. I've never had to guess at what you are to me. From day one, I knew."
"And you decided to never say anything because you thought I just didn't want you. All this time..." I nodded and was surprised when Link's hand punched the wall. "So, the- the baby is mine?"
"Yeah."
"I know I've destroyed any chances I've had, but... Would you be okay if I was there for the birth?"
"I've always wanted you there."
"Do I get anymore tries at this?" My heart swelled with happiness as Link gestured between us.
It felt like my throat was closing off and I choked out, "U-Us?"
Link's lips curled up slightly in a shy smile. "Yeah."
"If you want."
"No, Sheik. This is not about me. You get to decide."
"I can't. I'll always choose you."
"Then say yes."
I giggled as he leaned down. "Yes." And soundly kissed me.
"Breath, Sheik." I nodded and gripped Impa's hand tighter. "You're doing so good."
"I-It hurts." I whimpered and reached out my other hand for someone to take. I didn't even care who. Dark stepped forward, but so did Link. Not that I could focus on anything other than the extreme pain I was in. Especially since it was increasing by the second.
"Excuse me. He was reaching for me."
"No, he wants me."
"I've been here for everything, Link."
"I'm his boyfriend."
"Only because he can't refuse you."
"I love him and he loves me. You are just an extra."
"Extra?! Do you have any idea what he has gone through without you around? No. So shut up and back off."
"He's mine and that is my child. By nature's law, I have every right to be next to him. You don't."
"Why you-"
"Okay. By Din, both of you need to back off. If you can't act civil, then get out. You think Sheik needs the added stress of you two fuckheads." Midna's warm hands wrapped around mine. "Hey, lovely. How're you doing?"
"P-P-Painful." I screwed my eyes shut as another bout of nausea hit me. "Feel like I'm gonna- gonna puke."
"You're doing so good." I calmed down as my best friend patted down my hair. "The doctor says your right on schedule and my godchild should be here within the hour."
She winked at the mention of being the godmother and I chuckle dryly. "Y-Yeah."
"Docs going to make a small cut to get her out, the pain will be over, and then you can go to sleep." I nodded and tried to regulate my breathing. "Are you ready?"
I could see a nurse push the cart with tools over and panic set in for a moment. "D-Dark."
He stepped over and brushed my bangs back to kiss my forehead. "Hey. I'm here."
My hand left Midna's and gripped Dark's forearm. "Stay, please."
"I won't leave your side." Through the emotions I was feeling, I couldn't sense Link's jealousy.
It wasn't long later that the doctor was congratulating me and talked to me about needing to check my child's health. I got to hold her for a moment before she was gone and Midna persuaded me to sleep.
"Sheik, the nurse is coming back in." I nodded sleepily, but when I heard my little girl's cry, I was immediately trying to get up.
"Calm down, dear. She's right here." A soft, warm bundle was pressed into my arms and I never thought this day would come. They had wrapped her up in a pink blanket and clothed her in a simple gown and hat. "She's beautiful. You did a wonderful job, hun. What will you name her?" And that was a serious question, wasn't it.
I smiled up at Midna and Auntie, not bothering to look for Link or Dark as their absence hadn't crossed my mind. A name had been floating around in my head for quite some time. "Nanmi Rue."
Impa looked close to tears as her hands came up to cover her mouth. "Your mother's name."
Turbulent emotions were flooding me as I felt Link get closer and closer. It has been a week since I was released from the hospital with little Nanmi and the only time I saw Link was when he dropped by with a few packs of diapers. He says it is because of a job, but I feel like he just doesn't want to be around me.
Tears block my vision and I wipe them away. Nanmi is sleeping now and I pray she will stay asleep while I deal with whatever Link is upset about.
The door squeaks ever so slightly. "Sheik, I'm coming in."
"In here." I try to keep calm and fold tiny pants, hats, shir- He's too close! I can't think anymore! My throat feels dry and I turn from the dresser to meet his gaze. "Hello."
"Hey." Link sighs. "Can we talk?"
"Aren't we talking right n-"
"Away." We both flinch at his harsh tone, but he continues. "From her."
"Okay. I was making tea. Want some?" Link follows me into the kitchen and I nervously get out two cups. There is an anger simmering under the surface and I dare not provoke it.
"I hate tea."
I freeze. "O-Oh."
"It's fine. Not like you knew."
"Why are you staying around?" This leaves my mouth before I can stop it and so I simply let everything out. "You don't have to, Link. I'll understand if you want to leave me. I won't go after you for anything o-or keep Nanmi away from you if you really want to see her. "
I shake with a newly developing emotion that I'm not sure I want to name. "We barely know anything about each other, so why be with me. You don't feel for me what I feel for you and you never will. I have accepted that! So tell me, please. Because I just don't fucking understand! What more can you gain from this, really?!"
I can't contain it anymore. Seething with rage, but overwhelmed by betrayal, I glare at the man I'm forced to love. "I- I hate you!"
Tears are streaming down my face, but I can see them in Link's eyes as well. "Don't presume to know how I feel, Sheik. I'll have you know I've not gained anything from this relationship except the child we made together."
"How can you say that? What about my love? Is that not something you have or is it just something you don't want?"
"Love is such a fickle thing."
"Okay, be serious with me for one gods-damned second. What the hell is wrong with you that you act like this to me?"
"You called out for him."
"What?"
"I had to watch as the one I love called out to another while he was in pain."
"What are yo-" My eyes widened as everything set in. "At the hospital... When I was scared and had Dark comfort me."
"Yes."
"You're doing this because of that? Over something so ridiculous."
"It wasn't ridiculous to me."
"Are you jealous of Dark?"
"I-"
"By the Three, Link. You could have said something instead of letting me believe you hated me."
"But it is you that hates me now."
"No, I don't. I was just so mad at you. It was like you left me." The beginnings of a sob shook my small frame. "I thought you were done with me. I was terrified a-and I-"
Relief was slowly setting in and I reached out to take Link's shirt in my hands to pull him closer. "I l-love you."
His strong arms wrapped around my waist lightly. "Oh, Sheik."
I whimpered and nuzzled into him as Link's breath fell upon my scalp as he buried his face in my hair. "I love you."
Ooooh boy. I didn't realize all the troubles these two would go through if I actually continued this one. Well... I do now, but I didn't before.
And I see I have a follower on this collection. Congrats to me, yeah. And, of course, to the person. You know who you are. Don't worry, I'll remember who was first. That is if others follow this too. Which would be a good idea if you are okay with the stories you see so far. Cause I have a lot more coming.
Bye!
