It has been ten years since they mated and until now Hashirama hasn´t found the way for Madara to live with the pack and with him. The werewolves were too against vampires and viceversa. But it wasn´t as if he didn´t make any progress, after much begging and waiting for heats, he managed to make Madara accept their relationship. Now he was on his way to visit his mate, whose heat was coming closer.

"Hashirama-sama?" asked someone when he was abandoning the camp. It was Hikaru, who was carrying a basket of medicinal herbs. "Where are you going? Don´t tell me… to visit your mysterious mate?" the brunette nodded. Between all the people there this omega was the only one that knew part of his secret. "You should bring him here…"

"I already told you it´s impossible, Hikaru-chan"

"Well, if it´s impossible to do that, then at least make him some pups"

"Pups?"

"Yes, I know you don´t have any yet, but it´s not for lack of trying" he frowned. Every time his leader got absent the man returned stinking to omega. "Why haven´t you had any pups yet? Is he fine?"

"I don´t know" Hashirama started to think. The first time they spend a heat together, his mate said that he didn´t want to have pups. And the Senju himself haven´t thought about that yet… but now he realized that he wanted children and that it was probably the best time to have them. "Err… Hikaru-chan, is there any way for an omega to avoid getting pregnant when in heat?"

"Do you think mean contraceptives?" asked the lithe man. "Yes, if you drink certain herbal extracts before the heat you can avoid the pregnancy" he lifted his head. "Do you think he is using them?"

"I don´t know… but I will find out. Thank for telling me"

"Any time"

-In the castle-

Madara was still asleep, but the man´s chemistry set was working. The contraceptive was almost ready when Hashirama arrived and saw it. Careful to not disturb the sleeping vampire, he replaced the almost finished mixture and replaced it for something similar he got from Hikaru… with the contrary effects. He left without a trace of his presence, dumping the mixture somewhere in the woods. When Madara woke up, he rose from bed to see the chemicals. Once he noticed it was ready, he got out and drank some of the potion.

"Hello, Mada-chan!" he heard from downstairs and sighed, grabbing his polar bear robe. He went to his lover, knowing full well that the mutt, as the pervert he was, likes to rip nightgowns away from him. Hell, he lost like a hundredth of them since they became mates.

"Hello, Hashirama" he said, smiling a bit. "We still have some time to eat until… well you know"

"Of course I want to eat… eat you whole" he licked his lips, but the Uchiha just rolled his eyes. He pulled out a bottle of blood from his fridge and drank from it. "Hey, you are not so much in the mood, may I ask you why?"

"I´ve been thinking about how many of my silk sleep wears you have broken" grunted the vampire, leaving his meal on the counter and feeling the first signs of heat approaching.

"I will bring you more, okay?" Hashirama approached like a hungry beast, ready to attack there. A hand well placed in the middle of his chest stopped him.

"I´m still not that lustful" he said. "And you know that I´m not doing it in the kitchen again, it´s just not hygienic" the omega didn´t retire his hand. "And the nightgown you have to bring me have to be made of silk, like the ones you ripped. I´m not wearing something made of lesser materials, do you hear me?"

"Yes…"

"Now let´s hurry up, I still have some time to take out my clothes…"

"Awwwww, but it´s so fun to rip them off your body…"

"Or maybe I should just lock you in here!" he slammed the door, leaving the poor werewolf there, already horny.

"Aw, come on, Madara! I was just joking!" but the door never opened. He sighed and waited, hearing the tik tak of the clock. In an hour the pheromones arrived to his nose and he deemed safe to break the door to go to his mate. He found the raven laying in the bed, already naked and with his legs spread open for his mate. The Senju gladly took the offer and laid over him, kissing his neck and licking the old bite mark that won´t banish, the symbol of their union. "You taste sweet… so sweet…"

"Hashi… I want…"

"Shhhhh" the brunette put a finger on his mouth. The omega took it in and started sucking, quickly taking the other two that were offered. "I know what you want… I will give it to you…"

-The next morning-

Madara was now used to wake up in the sunrise, cuddling with Hashirama and sore for the nightly activities that took place the previous night. The only thing that made heat better was that now he could sort of remember what happened in it. He got up and put on his clothes before going to the kitchen to drink. He was so occupied with that that he didn´t noticed his mate woke up too and was following him to the room.

"Goodnight, Mada-chan!" greeted Hashirama, hugging him from behind. "Last night was amazing"

"I could tell" grunted the not so amused omega. "I have hickeys even in my tights, how the hell did they got there, care you explain?"

"Well, yesterday I was giving you an amazing blowjob…"

"Ugh, never mind" he said, blushing a bit. The both of them keep silent until…

"Have you ever think about us having pups? Because I think it´s time for us to…"

"No, I´m not having pups" answered the vampire, being ratter harsh. "Have you even think about what would OUR children look like? Half vampire, half werewolf…can you see it? A big wolf with huge fangs or a very furry bat… not anyone´s style."

"What if they are not like that? They could be…"

"My point exactly"

"There is no need to worry about that right now" the Senju got closer and started kissing his neck, savoring the skin of his mate. The vampire shuddered and tried to get him off, but the furry beast was not listening to him.

"I´m not needy right now!" he yelled, trying to get the wolf away from him. "And the second wave haven´t hit me yet!"

"We can start a little bit earlier…" the alpha said, rubbing his crotch against the omega´s backside, making the other blush. "We can do it hard against the sink… or if you don´t want to do it in the kitchen I can prepare us a nice bubble bath…"

"I´m not having water sex with you!"

"You did it on your last heat"

"I was not in my right mind!"

After a short fight, Madara ended up accepting the bath idea, just because it will buy him some time to rest until the water was prepared and the heat hits. He walked to his room and grabbed the tiny bottle of contraceptive (or what he thought was contraceptive, because Hashirama replaced it with something else) and drank from it. He was serious when he said that he didn´t want any pups, he couldn´t even begin to imagine what a hybrid of werewolf and vampire would look like. He was fine like this and was not willing to take the risk.

"Come on, it´s ready" called Hashirama. His mate sighed and walked into the bathroom, even if he was just beginning to feel the first effects of heat. Once he entered the room he realized that the Senju has done more than preparing a bath. There were candles in there, lighting all the room, bubbles in the water. The werewolf advanced towards him, willing to rip his clothes, but a glare made him stop. The vampire let his gown down and entered, submerging himself between the bubbles and tempting his mate to get in…

-After that heat-

Hashirama returned to his pack with a very wide smile on his face. Tobirama was happy to see him again, but then started screaming about how irresponsible he was and that he shouldn´t just get lost every three months. He shook his shoulders and wandered away, having many important things to do with the council of elders. After he finished with his duties the man went to do a short visit to someone.

"Shiki-san, hello!" he greeted the other werewolf, who was helping his mate with their youngest pup. "I just wanted to thank you and Hikaru-chan for the help."

"No need to thank, it was an honor" said the dominant one, putting his arm around his mate´s waist. "I still don´t know who you chose a mate that you can´t introduce to the pack but if it was what your nose told you…" he shook his shoulders. Then he smiled in a wicked way. "Well… how was it?"

"It´s been great" commented the alpha, licking his lips. "Oh, and thank you for the advisement about contraceptives and the potion to contra rests it´s effects, Hikaru-chan. It was very useful"

"So he was using contraceptives…" the lithe omega. "It´s an old trick us omegas use not to get pregnant on every heat. It taxes the body, you know."

"And the potion you gave me?"

"Another old trick some old hag created to cheat reluctant omegas to have children" he winked and put his arms around his mate´s neck making the alpha growl in satisfaction. "Both work all the time"

"Thank you" smiled Hashirama, leaving the couple alone. He went back to his house and lied on the ground, satisfied. The next day he definitely would go visit his lover, he wanted to know if they were indeed expecting a little pup… oh, that was going to be fantastic! The alpha was already imagining his vampire with a swollen belly and with a tiny baby in his arms... Madara was definitely going to be the strict kind of parent, while he would like to spoil the little thing rotten. It was going to be paradise!

-Three months later-

Madara was dry heaving in his kitchen, his arms on the sink. For some reason he started feeling different some months ago, but didn´t tell Hashirama because his mate would freak. The vampire washed his mouth and went to his cupboard to serve himself some A positive. Normally he wouldn´t be eating at that hour, but suddenly his hunger sky rocketed. Now he forced the mutt to go to the blood bank every day just to stay stocked. He rubbed his chest. Yes, another strange symptom was that his chest was now getting bigger and his nipples all red and swollen. It was really annoying. He sighed and walked to his library, wanting to find the source of all his pains and annoyances…

"It can´t be" he told himself when he read the only page that has all his symptoms… pregnancy. He was… pregnant? No! It can´t be! He has taken care of that, drinking the potion before every heat. But then again, he wasn´t exactly a master in preparing it. He only learned the recipe after mating, meaning that he could have failed in preparing it in some way. Didn´t he added an herb? He tried to remember every step… maybe he overheated it. Yeah, that must have ruined it. "Damn it"

"What?" asked Hashirama, entering with as many bottles of blood as he can carry. The werewolf was now a master in sneaking to a vampire food factory and stealing their products. "A medicine book? Are you alright?"

"I…" he swallowed deeply. "I think I might be pregnant"

"Huh?"

"I´m going to be honest with you, I didn´t want this to happen" he frowned. "I´ve been taking a potion to avoid it, but it seemed to fail…"

"Well…" the Senju was about to spit out the truth, but he decided against it. He didn´t want to incur in his mate´s wrath now that he was hormonal and unstable. Hell knows what he could do in such a state. "It´s okay, I want pups and I´m sure you will open to the idea once you start feeling it"

"You don´t understand, who knows what´s being cooked in my stomach now!" he cried, making the alpha put his arms around him. "Half vampire, half werewolf… do you know what both clans are going to do to us when they find out?"

"I don´t really care" reassured the brunette. "And if you don´t want them to know, our kid could just live with you here, in the castle. They don´t need to know, any of them."

"I don´t know anything about taking care of someone…"

"You took care of Izuna, no?" the raven nodded, remembering his baby brother. "If you did, then you can do it again for our baby" the other began crying again, mumbling something about having failed to protect him once. "Shhhh, it´s okay, you will be a great mother"

"How do you know?"

"Because you are such a wonderful person" he kissed the other male´s cheek, soothing him a bit. "Hey, we can do this. Our baby will be beautiful and strong and caring… like us! And he or she would have everything he or she could ask for"

"I won´t allow you to turn my child into a spoiled brat!"

"Of course not" the wolf smiled, knowing that he has effectively cheered up his pregnant omega. "You will be there to stop me… hitting me in the head or something."

"Bet on it"

"Now that´s all settled, we should celebrate!" Hashirama laughed, but Madara frowned. "What´s the matter? If you want me to ease your insecurities again…"

"It´s not like it" the vampire´s frown got deeper. His mate looked at him a little bit worried. "It´s just that… omegas, specially male omegas, need help to give birth. An older omega has to coach them during pregnancy and the birthing process and be ready to receive the child when it goes out. Without that aid there are higher probabilities that something goes wrong…"

"You are saying that you need an older omega to help you give birth, no?"

"Hum…" he bit his lip. "Even if I don´t want to admit it, yes. We shouldn´t leave everything to natural instincts, that would be irresponsible. But if we tell someone the probabilities of the rest of our people to find out are higher too…"

"Maybe, if we didn´t choose wisely"

"What are you thinking about?"

-Back in Senju territory-

Hikaru was watering his herbs while his children were with their father, running around. The older of his children has just showed up as beta and Shiki wanted to train him. The younger ones, curious, wanted to go and help their sibling. He smiled, his baby was going to be such a great werewolf when he grew up. He just wished that the times of peace continued, because no child deserved to be sent into battle so early…

"Hikaru-chan?"

"Hashirama-sama!" he was startled by the alpha´s presence, jumping a bit, but he instantly calmed. He was friend, after all. "What do you need? Is there something wrong?"

"My mate is expecting a pup and I wish you to help him during the birthing process"

"It would be an honor, but I have to know him first" the omega´s hands ran through the leaves of his plants. It was truly an honor for an omega that the pack leader choses him or her to help in the delivery of his first born, so he need to prepare very well. He was a good healer, so it would be a little easier, but… "Are you going to bring him to us now?"

"I will take you to him" with this, Hashirama put all his trust in the man before him. He knew that if he opened his mouth he would be ruined, but he was willing if it means his child would safely come in the world.
