TWEEK
I can't believe Stan did Kyle like that. Who would cheat on their best friend? Now Stan doesn't have anything anymore. I know him and Kyle drifted apart but I feel like Stan was trying to ignore the fact he likes male omegas. I could be overthinking it, but I don't think I am. It took me two hours to get Kyle to calm down. Kyle has blocked Stan's number and on all his social media accounts. He wasn't kidding when he said they were done. I sigh as it has been a month since everything happened and yet Stan is still trying to get him back.
"Dad," I reply. "I'm taking off." Dad comes out the back sipping his coffee.
"Nothing like the smooth taste of holiday cheer," he replies. "You be safe."
"I will," I reply. "I'm going to see the guys tonight." I haven't taken my apron off as my pregnant belly is really showing under my clothes. The apron hides it well. I really need to tell my parents. It's a miracle I was able to hide it this long.
"Have fun," he replies. "Will you be seeing them for New Year's?"
"I'm not sure," I admit. I know David is working that evening at his parents' restaurant. I have no idea what Token and Clyde are up to. We will find out tonight. "Craig should be here soon."
"Tell him we said hello," says my father before going back into his office. Finally. I know he won't be coming back out. I take my apron off feeling lighter already.
"Oh". I say touching my lower belly feeling the baby kick. "Don't worry, we get you something to eat soon. How about a nice almond milk tea?" I pat my pregnant belly before turning around seeing Leslie. If looks could kill. Her eyes are baring into mine as she looks down at my belly before meeting my glance once more. The look of shock is quickly replaced with rage. I quickly walk away into the back. I need to grab my belongings. I hope she is gone by the time I come back. I grab my coat bundling up before heading back out. I don't see Leslie making me feel like it was a dream I saw her. I breathe a sigh of relief.
"Tweek," she hisses scaring me. I spot her behind one of the taller plants we have. She has her arms folded.
"Um hey," I reply with a small wave. "I don't want any problems."
"Fuck you!" she snaps with her fist balled up. "You are pregnant by my alpha. Is this some kind of joke!" I am taken back.
"No disrespect Leslie but Craig never claimed you," I replied. "You got something to say, talk to Craig." I begin to make my way towards the exit when she grabs my arm. "Hey!" I exclaim looking at her hand grip me.
"Everyone knows he was mine!" she snaps. "I appreciate you helping me out at the party, but you didn't have to swope in and take him!"
"I didn't…."
"What's going on here?" asks Craig as the cold air from outside comes into the shop. I can scent Craig is mad. Thank god, I don't have to worry about him going into rut because he seriously doesn't like Leslie. I can scent her fear.
"N-nothing," she stammers letting my arm go. She slowly backs away from me as Craig glares at her walking over to me. He lovingly scents the side of my neck. My eyes close because his emotions are so high right now. I almost feel like I'm drowning. I bite back a moan. Craig wraps my scarf around my neck.
"Got to make sure you don't sick babe," he replies. I smile at him. How can I not after what he just did. Craig grabs my hand before turning to Leslie. "You got something to say?"
"I don't," she replies.
"Good," replies Craig. "That means I shouldn't see you talking to Tweek outside of you ordering a coffee then."
"Yes," she mumbles. Craig growls making her submit. I pat Craig's hand.
"Come on, I don't want to be late," I reply. "Seeing how we missed out on seeing our friends last time." Craig laughs.
"So true," he replies. He opens the door to the shop allowing me to walk out first. "Think David is bringing food again?"
"Not this time," I reply as we walk hand in hand to his truck. He is park right in front of the door. He helps me inside the truck before getting in. Soon as Craig closes the door he growls viciously. I grab his cold hand placing it on my stomach. "It's okay Craig. See, baby is fine." I move his cold hand around a bit. I can feel the kicks. "The baby is kicking right here." Craig drops his head.
"I wish I could feel them," he mumbles.
"You will," I reply. "When the baby becomes big and strong like their daddy." Craig laughs leaning in kissing me.
"You make me sound like a saint," he replies pulling away. He starts up the truck. He glares at Leslie before backing out of the parking space.
"Craig she wasn't going to do anything," I reply. "I was in control of the situation."
"Shouldn't be no situation!" he snaps. "She is lucky your dad didn't come out there. God mating her clingy ass wasn't worth it."
"I think she loved you," I reply. "Why else would she be holding on."
"I don't love her," he says coldly. "Never did, never will."
"I know babe," I reply panting his hand that is on the arm rest.
"You let me know if she approaches you again," he replies. "I mean it!"
"I doubt she will," I reply. "You were very clear with her." Craig shakes his head.
"I applied for a manager position, morning shift," he explains.
"The one where you have to go in at 6am?" I ask to clarify.
"Yup!" he replies. "I would be doing the same thing I do now too so it's perfect. About a 25% pay increase too. God I want that position bad."
"I am sure they know you are deserving Craig," I reply.
"I hope so!" he replies. "Having you update my resume did wonders. Looks so fancy now."
"It's not fancy," I chuckle. "It's the standard of someone in your field." His resume was so basic. He also was lacking all the duties he actually performs. I had to update everything on there, font included. We arrive to Clyde's house as his dad went to spend time with his brother for the evening. We get parked getting out.
"You ready Tweekers," he replies. "You know they are going to see that baby bump."
"Yeah," I reply. "I'm more nervous about telling my parents over the guys."
"Good point," he agrees as we approach the door. Clyde knocks loudly knowing the doorbell is still broken. David opens the door smiling.
"Hey guys," he replies. "Everyone is in the living room."
"Thanks," says Craig walking inside. I can smell the fireplace making me smile. The one thing I miss about being in a home. A nice fire going, the warm feeling, the scent of the wood with a cup of coffee. God, not having coffee is killing me.
"Amazing how I see less of you Tweek," notes David. It's true. It's easier staying with Craig most days. "You guys drive together?"
"Yeah," I reply. "Kenny is working on my car currently." Craig managed to find me a great used car for 6,500 with 100k miles but it needed some things done. Craig spoke to Kenny working out a deal for him to fine tune some things so me and the baby would be safe. Sad thing is my Chevy Impala 2014 has seen some better days.
"I didn't know that," says David locking the door. We head into the living room. Clyde just put another log in the fireplace. Token is laughing.
"Hey!" he exclaims standing up. "You guys want eggnog? Clyde dad has some left over."
"No thanks," I reply.
"I have to drive," replies Craig. "I'll pass." Our friends all glare at him. "What!"
"You never turn down alcohol," says Clyde. Craig takes his coat off.
"I have my reasons," he replies. He doesn't want to put me and the baby at risk. Not to say any other time Craig doesn't care about my life but he hasn't risked a damn thing during this pregnancy. I remove my coat.
"Can I have some hot coco?" I ask.
"Sure," replies Clyde. "I'm sure we got some of that around here. My dad drinks that shit way too much."
"It's pretty good," states David. "You should add some Hershey's syrup to it. Oh my god, dude…"
"Hearing that makes my stomach hurt," says Craig grabbing my hand leading me to the love seat. Token is the first one to notice my belly. I sit down giving him a small smile while Craig smirks proudly. Token clears his throat.
"Um so how have things been?" he asks.
"Good" I say nervously. I say nervously with Craig leaning in scenting the side of my neck. I gasp lightly.
"Don't be worried Tweekers," he whispers. "These are your best friends." I close my eyes nodding my head yes. I stand up placing my hands on my stomach.
"Craig and I are expecting," I announce. I jump hearing glass break. Clyde comes running back into the room.
"Are you fucking serious!" he exclaims. I blush nodding my head as David walks over to me.
"Oh my god," he replies. "You hide this from me!"
"Not on purpose," I defend. David looks at Craig.
"Can I touch Tweek?" he asks before submitting.
"You can," states Craig. David touches my belly. I giggle because that seems to be a big thing with pregnant people. Strangers wanted to touch my belly but thankfully Craig was there to scare the hell out of them. This is different since I know these people.
"Wow," says David with a smile coming to his face. "How far along are you?"
"Three months," I reply. "I haven't told my parents yet. I will be telling them soon."
"Let me get you new hot chocolate," states Clyde before going to clean up the mess he made. Token stands up walking over to me.
"Congrats Tweek," he replies. "And Craig."
"Thanks," replies Craig.
"Can you feel the baby?" asks David.
"I can," I reply. "Craig won't feel the baby until I am 6-7 months."
"Damn," says David.
"Same!" exclaims Craig causing our friends to laugh. "I really want to feel the baby."
"When do you find out the gender?" asks Token.
"Tweek said sometime at the beginning of March I believe," replies Craig.
"When is the little one due?" asks Clyde coming in with my hot coco.
"July 7th" replies Craig.
"Cutting it close on the 4th" says Clyde. I take my mug taking a sip.
"Tell me about it," says Craig rolling his eyes. "I don't want our kid born during a holiday."
"You better hope he doesn't come early," notes Token.
"Ugh," groans Craig. "Don't remind me." Clyde and Token take turns touching my belly after asking Craig for permission. Our little gathering has turned into a party. "Are you guys ordering in? Tweek needs to eat."
"We can!" exclaims Clyde. "What are you craving?"
"Oh, um nothing I can really have," I admit. Craig chuckles.
"He has been wanting coffee and medium well steak," he explains.
"He can't have coffee!" exclaims Clyde.
"It's not good for the baby," explains David. "Otherwise, he could have it. Anything else you want?" I think carefully.
"BBQ," I reply.
"Wow," laughs Token. "Let's get the man some BBQ." David is pulling up a spot on his uber eats app.
"I'm going to the rest room," I tell Craig. He nods scenting me lightly. I walk anyway to use the hall bathroom. When I am in the bathroom, I can help but pull my shirt a lot tighter wanting to see my pregnant tummy. I rub my hand over my stomach feeling those familiar kicks. I chuckle. "You will eat soon. Maybe tomorrow we can have mom's coffee cake." I open the bathroom door seeing Token.
"Hey….." he says slowly. "Um I just wanted to make sure you're okay."
"Token, I'm fine," I reply before smiling. Token chuckles.
"I can't believe you guys are having a baby," he states.
"Me too," I admit. "Craig and I didn't plan this obviously, but we are very happy to be having a baby." I instinctively rub my belly. "Craig is trying to get promoted at work and I'm going to focus on finish school. I am so freaking close."
"Hey, you can come back to that," says Token. "It's important to keep your stress down."
"You sound like Craig," I reply. "You know how some people stop going to school and they never go back. I don't want that to be me!"
"Don't be so hard on yourself," says Token touching my shoulder. "Bringing life into this word is the closest thing to death. You need to focus on delivering a healthy happy baby." I sniffle smiling at the kind words. "Oh god….."
"It's okay," I reply rubbing my eyes. "The hormones have me more emotional than usual."
"Tweekers!" Craig calls out and I can hear growling. Token backs away from me slowly.
"Relax Craig," I reply as he comes into view snarling. "These are happy tears." I don't know if he sensed this through our half bond or if he could scent a change in my emotions. Craig walks over scenting me. "Easy Craig….."
"I'm trying…." He mutters. He pulls away from me before glaring at Token. "What did you say to him?"
"Nothing bad," replies Token quickly before submitting. "I just told him to focus on having a healthy baby." Craig chuckles grabbing my hand.
"You got to be careful," he replies. "Tweekers cries at almost everything."
"I do not!" I defend. Craig kisses my forehead.
"Sure babe," he replies. "You keep believing that." Token begins to laugh.
"Do I sense bonding in your future?" asks Token.
"You damn right," says Craig proudly. "He's my omega." Token beams proudly.
"Well, I am just going to use the restroom," he replies. "I'll see you guys in a bit." Token goes into the bathroom. I lead Craig away from the bathroom.
"You're going to become aroused Craig," I say lowly feeling a shift in him.
"I'm trying not to," he replies lowly touching my pregnant stomach. "You just look so beautiful right now…..carrying our baby." I begin to blush as he kisses my cheek. I turn towards Craig pulling him against my lips. Craig snarls lowly.
"Sorry," I whisper. I touch the side of his face. "Let's keep it together until we get home."
"Um, definitely," says Craig. "I'm definitely not trying to fuck in this house." I chuckle as Craig stands upright running his hand through my hair. "Go ahead back into the main room. I need a minute to calm myself. Hard to do that when I'm seeing you." I blush nodding my head. "Stop that. Looking all cute and shit." I chuckle walking away from him although I really want to maul him. Pregnant sex has been the best without a worry of getting knocked up. I walk into the living room to see Clyde grinning.
"Food is on the way," says David.
"Great," I reply. "Did you get the sweet rolls?"
"I did!" he exclaims.
"Thank you," I reply. "What do you want to say Clyde?" I can see he wanted to speak on something. I don't want to assume what. No need for him tip toe.
"You guys are so in love," he replies. "I'm just glad you have a good mate. That's all."
"You guys!" I exclaim covering my face.
"Now what?" says Craig walking into the room. "I just got him to calm down. Who got my baby crying?"
"It was an accident!" Clyde exclaims.
"Don't be scared Clyde," I reply. "Craig is very protective. I'm just so happy." I begin to sniffle. Craig hugs me.
"Awe Tweekers," he replies. He begins to rock me as we continue to hug. I can't help it. I didn't want to mate at all as omega. I didn't want children at but I have an alpha who loves me. He has changed the way I view everything. We are starting a family. How can I not be happy? I'm the luckiest omega in the world.
