-- THE NEXT WEEK --

"Who knew that our appointments would be at the same time Iwaizumi?" Suga smiled

"Yeah…" Iwaizumi was nervous but for whatever reason, small talk always made him feel better, "who's your doctor?"

"Dr. Yoshio…What about you?" Suga rubbed his slightly protruding middle, "Oh yeah! This is your first scan right Iwaizumi?"

"Dr. Kanda… and yeah my first REAL one…" he took a shaky breath

"You'll be fine!" Suga reassured, "How far along do you think you are?"

"About 8 weeks… I think…" he blushed looking down at his own little baby bump, he wasn't that big, in fact you couldn't tell he was pregnant, he looked like he just gained a bit of weight to the untrained eye. But to those who've seen his abdomen without a shirt and a baby in it, the bump was obvious.

"I was that far along when I had my first scan too!" Suga smiled, "I should be about 12 weeks now, I'm so happy that I'm almost out of the first trimester!!!"

"Lucky, I'm like just starting…" Iwaizumi smiled, feeling a lot more calm than he had all week

"Nah, a month will go by in no time at all!" Suga smiled, "It sure is hot isn't it?"

"Well it's the middle of July!" Iwaizumi laughed, "We go on summer break soon…"

"I can't wait to not have to deal with school…" Suga sighed

"Me too…" Iwaizumi agreed

The two made their way to the doctor's office and sat together after checking in.

Bzzzt Bzzzt

"Huh?" Suga noticed his phone vibrating in his pocket, he got a text from Rose

"Suga, DO NOT bring Iwaizumi back to the house, you stay away too! I sent Akaashi to the clinic to meet up with you. I have another charge that went into heat, he was brought here by his alpha but I guess that Oikawa doesn't like him. Oikawa's anger evaluation is today, tell Iwaizumi to send him a text telling him that he needs to stay calm in order to pass. Thanks.

-Rose"

"What's wrong?" Iwaizumi asked

"Sugawara?" The nurse called

"Here!" He responded before turning to Iwaizumi, "I'll explain to you later, but whatever you do don't go home without me…"

And with that Suga left.

~What was that all about?~

"Iwaizumi?" A different nurse called

"Here." He stood and followed the nurse into the examination room

Meanwhile with Suga, the nurse had asked him to lay on the table and he was about to remove the jeans he has on when the nurse stopped him.

"You're far enough along that the doctor can use the topical sensor to perform the sonogram…" she smiled

"Oh alright…" Suga smiled and then just happily sat in the chair

The nurse left leaving Suga alone for a moment and he reread the text. ~I hope everything's okay… I'm glad Daichi is there to help Rose control the situation…~

Knock Knock

"Hello Sugawara-san…" the doctor entered the room

"Hello…" he smiled

"Ready to see how baby's doing?" Doctor began setting up the machine

"I can't wait!" Suga's smiled brightened

"Alright, let's have a look… Lift your shirt please, I'll apply this gel, it's cold and a bit uncomfortable but it will help me see baby more clearly…" the doctor explained as Suga did as he was told

After the scan was completed both omega's were informed that their little ones were healthy and growing nicely. They got out of their appointments at the same time and walked out of the clinic together.

"So what's going on?" Iwaizumi asked

Suga showed him the text from Rose and he stiffened.

"Who could this other alpha be?" Suga wondered but Iwaizumi already knew

"Ushijima…" Iwaizumi said softly pulling his phone out to text Oikawa

"What?!" Suga gasped. ~Then Daichi won't be of much help…~

"Hey…" Akaashi said as he approached the other two

"How's everything back at the house?" Suga asked

"Sawamura-san and Ushijima-san got into a fight…" Akaashi explained, "After Koutarou made sure I was safe he jumped in to help Rose separate them… After they all calmed down Rose told me to meet you two here…"

"I see…" Suga said worriedly, he turned and saw Iwaizumi on the phone

"Yes, it's fine…" Iwaizumi said, "It's too soon to tell Shittykawa!"

Suga and Akaashi giggled. "He must be asking about the baby…" Suga smiled, "Did Oikawa get involved in anything back at the house?" He questioned

"No, in fact he left the room completely…" Akaashi responded, "He's got some amazing self control… It's shocking to think that he had an outburst last week…"

"Yeah… alphas are weird…" Suga laughed as Iwaizumi walked back over to them, "Everything okay with him?"

"Yeah, he's just…" Iwaizumi paused looking for the right word

"Overprotective?" Akaashi offered

"Cautious?" Suga added

"Dramatic…" Iwaizumi concluded

All three shared in a brief laugh before Iwaizumi turned to Suga, "Where did you get that frame you gave Rose?"

Suga looked at Iwaizumi confused before it clicked in his head, "Daichi and I picked it up at the greeting card store around the corner!"

"C-can we stop by?" Iwaizumi blushed

"Sure!" Suga smiled, "I think Rose will love it…"

"May I ask what you're talking about?" Akaashi asked

"Remember the picture frame on the fridge?" Suga said

"Yes…" Akaashi still didn't get it

"Iwaizumi wants to put his little baby up there too!" Suga smiled

"Ahhh, I see…" Akaashi smiled. ~I wish I could put my little one up there too. But it's bad luck!~

"Let's just go already!" Iwaizumi huffed embarrassedly

The three headed over to the store and as soon as they bought the frame Rose texted Suga telling him that it was safe to return to the house. The three returned to see an unexpected sight. Bokuto was stretched out on the couch with a black eye and a swollen and bruised cheek bone. Without thinking Akaashi ran over to his alpha's side.

"Koutarou!" Akaashi said speaking louder than was usual for him, "Are you alright?"

Bokuto shot up into a sitting position, "KEIJI!!!!"

Akaashi's eyes widened, "I'm here Koutarou…"

Bokuto locked eyes with his mate and was frantic, "Are you okay?!"

"Yes I'm fine…" he held his alpha's hand and watched as everything that happened slowly registered into Bokuto's brain

"Where's Daichi?" Suga asked

Rose looked at him and pursed her lips into a thin line, "He's in your room, he needs you right now…"

Suga frowned, "Did he get hurt?"

"He…" Rose was looking for the words, "His face… isn't as bad as Bokuto… but I think something else is hurt…"

Suga nodded. ~His pride…~ Suga twisted the doorknob to alert the alpha that he was entering and then slowly opened the door. After waiting for a bit making sure the alpha wasn't going to attack him, he entered the room and closed and locked the door behind him.

"Dai…?" Suga said cautiously, "I'm back…"

"Welcome back…" Daichi said from under the covers

"Babe… what's wrong? What happened?" Suga asked sitting at the foot of the bed

"Nothing…" Daichi said but didn't bother to look at Suga or show him his face.

"Daichi…" Suga sighed

"How was your appointment Koushi?" Daichi was trying to change the subject

"Baby is healthy, actually, Doctor Yoshio said that baby is a little on the bigger side…" Suga gave in, "He said baby is about two and a half inches big, about the size of a large plum…"

"That's good to hear…" Daichi reached a hand back searching for his mate

Suga scooted closer to the hand and took a hold of it, "If you want to feel the baby, you have to let me see your face…" Suga sighed, "Daichi, I need to know what happened to my mate…"

Daichi sighed heavily and sat up with his back facing Suga, "Just, don't freak out… I don't want you to stress out our pup…"

"Alright…" Suga agreed

Daichi turned around to face Suga. Suga gasped looking at his mate's black eye and swollen nose. Suga swallowed hard and calmed himself down before speaking, "What happened?"

"Ushijima was harassing Oikawa…" Daichi stated

"Alright…?" Suga said, "There must be more to it than that…"

"Well I just…" Daichi looked away from Suga, "I wanted to make sure he passed his evaluation today… for Iwaizumi's sake…"

"So you defended him…" Suga sighed caressing Daichi's cheek softly, "You're going to be a great dad…" he smiled slightly

Daichi embraced his mate. Suga wrapped his arms around the alpha and held him tight.

"Can I feel the baby now?" Daichi whispered into Suga's hair

"Sure…" he giggled his response, "Here, look at the sonogram too…" he handed Daichi the pictures of their healthy baby on the way

Meanwhile with Iwaizumi, he pulled Rose into the kitchen after everything was explained to him.

"Thank you…" Iwaizumi blushed, "For protecting my idiot…"

"It was Daichi, he really wanted Oikawa to pass for you…" Rose smiled

"Well, thank you still, your job is under appreciated…" he insisted, "Tooru can be quite impulsive and reckless when protecting what matters most to him…"

"I'd say that's ALL alphas…" Rose giggled, "Oikawa and Daichi took his presence the hardest I'm sure…"

Iwaizumi made eye contact and said, "What did he say to Tooru? I know that he and Sawamura don't get along that well, but for Sawamura to defend Tooru…"

"He said something about it being a sign that they were both here at the safe house?" Rose thought, "I didn't really hear since I was taking Ushijima's omega into their room, setting him up with everything they needed, you know how it goes…"

Iwaizumi looked away from Rose, obviously frustrated, "Why can't he just leave him alone…?" Angry tears flowed from his eyes. Wiping at them irately, he tried to calm down.

"I take it that it's pretty tense between the two then huh?" Rose said offering him some tea

"Yeah…" Iwaizumi barely recognized his own broken voice

"Well, it's a good thing his room isn't next to yours…" Rose said, "You should go see Oikawa though, I'm sure he needs the comfort and support of his omega and baby…"

~Baby… oh yeah!~

"Um Rose…" Iwaizumi blushed

"What's up?" She looked at him curiously

"Here…" Iwaizumi held out the frame with one of the sonogram pictures he got today, "I made 8 weeks today…"

Rose stared at it in amazement, she took the frame in her hands gingerly, stroking her thumb over the black and white image. She smiled sweetly at it before looking up at the omega and saying, "Congratulations…"

"Th-thanks…" Iwaizumi blushed again

He watched as Rose walked over and put it next to "Baby Sawamura."

"I just need a copy of Suga's one to have it completely up to date…" Rose smiled.

She grabbed the pen from the side of the fridge and wrote "Baby Oikawa, 8 weeks" under the picture of Iwaizumi's sonogram.

"Maybe I should make this a thing…" Rose said, "Everytime one of my charges gets pregnant I'll put the sonograms up on the fridge…"

Iwaizumi smiled, "You might as well, they'll probably do it anyways…"

"Yup… and with five charges total, two pregnant…" Rose continued gazing at the fridge, "Who knows what else is possible…"

"Five? But only four couples live here…" Iwaizumi said

"Ahhh, you weren't here for the other one, I can't give you specifics of what happened unless he tells me I can…" Rose looked sad for a moment, "My other charge is Karasuno's ace…"

The big guy with the facial hair?!

"I had no idea he was an omega…" Iwaizumi said astonished, "Well, who am I to judge, look at me…" he laughed

Rose giggles along with him, "Alright now go be with your alpha, I'm sure he needs you…" she smiled

"But wait!" Iwaizumi panicked on the inside a little, "What about his evaluation?"

"He passed…" Rose smiled at him

"You evaluated him already?"

"Yeah, his actions when Ushijima came into the house, after everything went down, he didn't act impulsively…" Rose explained, "Instead he remained calm and took the best course of action… I would say that is a show of proper anger management if I've ever seen one…"

"Thank you…" was all Iwaizumi said before he just about ran out of the kitchen and into his room.

Iwaizumi found the alpha sleeping when he entered the room. He lifted the covers and crawled into them and settled himself in Oikawa's arms. This was the first time they'd been next to each other in bed since Oikawa found out that he was going to become a father. Iwaizumi found that since he became pregnant he's been clingy, A LOT more clingy than usual, and while he'd never admit it, he loved being cuddled by Oikawa. Said alpha tighten his arms around the omega before cracking an eye open.

"How was your appointment?" He asked groggily

"You already asked me that over the phone you idiot…" Iwaizumi smiled

"But I wanna hear it again…" Oikawa snuggled into his omega even further

"Dr. Kanda said that it's the size of a kidney bean. And that it's growing very well, it's healthy…" Iwaizumi rolled his eyes

"That's good…" Oikawa placed his chin on top of his omega's head and snaked a hand down to place it on the very small baby bump that was forming, "We should call it something… rather than 'it.'"

"You want to discuss names already?" Iwaizumi questioned, "Isn't it too early for that?"

"It is, so I'm talking about something ELSE we could call the baby until we know their gender…" Oikawa said trying to think, "What about bean?"

"Hah?" Iwaizumi wasn't quite sure how to react, "You want to refer to our pup as 'Bean?'"

"Yes, you said that they were the size of a bean!!" Oikawa smiled excitedly

"No… I refuse to let you call our baby a bean!" Iwaizumi said

"As if you could stop me now…" Oikawa chuckled and snuggled in closer

"Do you wanna see the sonogram?"

"Of course I do!!" Oikawa shot up into sitting position

Iwaizumi chuckled and pulled them out of his pocket, "I cut off the bottom one to give to Rose… but these are the rest…" he explained handing them to his alpha

"Is our little bean up on the fridge too? Oh look! It really does look like a bean!"

"Yes…" Iwaizumi rolled his eyes

"So how far along are you now?" Oikawa asked reaching a hand over and placing it on Iwaizumi's little bump, not taking his eyes off the pictures

"8 weeks…" Iwaizumi blushed. It was still a little embarrassing to have Oikawa's hands all over his belly, but it was his baby too, so he couldn't really tell the alpha to stop.

"So that's like… seven more months to go?" Oikawa asked

"Yeah…" Iwaizumi was snuggling into the blankets and slowly falling asleep

"WAIT!" Oikawa shouted causing Iwaizumi to jump

"What?!" Iwaizumi half shouted back, "Why are you yelling?!"

"My evaluation is today! I still can't be alone with you yet! I need to leave before Rose finds out!" Oikawa went to get out of bed but Iwaizumi grabbed his wrist and stopped him

"It's okay… she said you passed…" he said now even more tired than before, "come back here, I'm tired…"

"What do you mean I passed?" Oikawa asked

"She already did your evaluation, now I swear, if you don't get over here right now I'm locking you out until tonight…" Iwaizumi said pulling on the alpha's wrist once again

Oikawa didn't say anything he just smiled and got back under the covers with his omega, comfortably resting his palm against the small swell of his growing abdomen.
