-- AROUND DINNER TIME THAT NIGHT --

"Hey Rose!" Suga said, "Why do I always forget to give you these?"

Suga took out the sonogram he set aside for Rose and handed it to her.

"Ahhh! Now my fridge is up to date!" She smiled and added it to the frame, "You're how far now Suga?"

"12 weeks…"

Rose fixed the words underneath the frame so it said, "Baby Sawamura, 12 weeks"

"Perfect…" rose smiled, "What is your due date Suga?"

"Christmas Day…" he smiled shyly

"Oooo! Christmas baby!" Rose smiled brightly, "My middle one is a Christmas baby!"

"Your middle one?" Suga asked, "Rose, you have kids?"

"Oh yeah! I've got three!" Rose laughed

"Where are they? Do they live here?" Akaashi's voice came from behind Suga

Iwaizumi and the three alphas were behind Akaashi so they had obviously heard what Suga and Rose were talking about.

"They are back at an academy provided by the organization…" Rose smiled sadly, "I can't bring them around everywhere with me. So they stay at the academy, it puts my mind at ease that they'll be taken care of…"

"How old are they?" Iwaizumi asked

"My oldest boy is 13, my middle boy is 12 and my daughter is 11…" Rose smiled

"You had one after another?!" Oikawa was shocked, "That's physically possible?!"

"Yes, it is…" Rose laughed

"So then, how old are you?" Daichi asked

"I'm 28…" Rose smiled, "I had my oldest when I was 15… it's a long story, and I'd rather not tell it"

She shut down all other questions very quickly. That wasn't a time she liked to revisit.

"Is everyone hungry?" She asked

Everyone nodded so Rose and the three soon to be mothers helped her to make dinner while the alphas sat around the kitchen island and socialized, it was rather relaxing. They all had a nice time just being together.

-- THE NEXT WEEK --

Rose woke up to a loud bang coming from the kitchen. ~This has got to be the most stressful set of charges I've ever had…~ Rose climbed out of bed and padded out to the kitchen where she found quite the scene. Tendou was uncharacteristically crying and curled into his alpha's chest. Said alpha was drenched in water. Suga was found glaring angrily at Ushijima from behind Daichi. Ushijima and Daichi were locked in an intense glare, neither breaking eye contact. Bokuto had his arms wrapped around Akaashi's waist as the omega stormed around the kitchen slamming cabinets as he went. Thankfully Oikawa and Iwaizumi were nowhere to be found.

"What's going on?" Rose asked

All six people in the room stopped what they were doing and looked in her direction. Almost as if on cue they all started yelling at her their sides of the story.

"STOP!" Rose yelled over everyone successfully shutting everyone up, "Okay, we'll start with-"

"I can tell you exactly what happened…" Iwaizumi said appearing behind Rose, "I was in the living room and saw everything…"

"Alright explain…" Rose said facing Iwaizumi

-- THAT MORNING --

Ushijima carried Tendou outside and placed him carefully on a bar stool at the kitchen island.

"This time was intense huh Wa-ka-to-shi-kun?" Tendou enunciated each syllable of his mate's name

"What do you mean this time?" Ushijima looked quizzically at Tendou, "This was the first time we spent your heat together…"

Ushijima walked over to his new mate and rubbed a thumb over the STILL red bond mark.

"Oh ri~ight. Well this time WAS more intense than my usual heat…" Tendou teased, "Maybe because you're so dominating and-"

"AHEM…" Iwaizumi cleared his throat from the living room to alert the couple of his presence. In recent times Iwaizumi found that he liked to wake up at ridiculous times and read the newspaper. Oikawa said he was turning into an old man not a mother. For this comment Oikawa has about five new bruises.

"Olololo?" Tendou turned his attention to the omega in the living room, "Well if it isn't the knocked up-"

Yet again he was interrupted by a, "Don't you think that's a little rude?" By Suga who was also now awake and looking to drink his morning tea. It was the last day of school before the summer break and no one intended on going to class that day. Suga walked over to the sink and grabbed a glass of water. Before he could drink it, Tendou started speaking again.

"What did I say?" Tendou teased, "Although seeing how you've also let yourself go… just because you've got a bun in the oven doesn't mean you should stop taking care of yourself…"

Suga saw nothing but red for a moment and he splashed the water towards Tendou who was instinctively covered by his alpha. Ushijima got soaked and was obviously angry. Daichi came out in time to see his omega being cornered by the alpha. Daichi ran between Ushijima and Suga proceeding to push the other alpha away. As they squared up Akaashi came out with Bokuto following close behind.

"Look at you! You're not even pregnant and you're gaining weight!" Tendou laughed

Bokuto's eyes widened and turned to Akaashi who wore the same bored expression. Akaashi turned away not even acknowledging Tendou but as he was looking around for things to make breakfast with he started slamming cupboards. Bokuto instantly wrapped himself around his omega in an attempt to calm him down.

"That was uncalled for!" Suga raged behind his alpha, "What is WRONG with you?!"

That struck a chord with Tendou. The cocky grin melted off his face and tears gathered in his eyes. He clutched at Ushijima's back and curled into the giant alpha. Upon seeing Tendou's reaction Akaashi slammed another cabinet, only harder this time, which was what woke Rose up.

-- BACK TO THE PRESENT --

With everyone seated in the living room, Oikawa now present but not fully awake, Rose looked around and sighed.

"Okay… so whatever is causing the tension needs to be let out…" Rose said, "Tendou, first, come with me…"

Tendou stood up and followed Rose to the bathroom, shortly after Rose reappeared and addressed the group.

"From what I understand, Ushijima has some bad blood with Oikawa and Daichi… correct?"

Everyone nodded.

"Alright I'd usually start with either of the two on this side, but Ushijima, I'd like you to start…" Rose said, "if you're all going to be living together, the tension needs to be gone, ESPECIALLY with two pups on the way…"

Ushijima nodded before saying, "It has been pointed out to me that my words are quite blunt and offensive. I apologize if they have come off as such."

"That doesn't excuse your omega…" Suga spat

"Satori does not know when his jeers are appropriate and when they are not, I will attempt to control his retorts." Ushijima said responding, "He does not intend any harm by the words he speaks, to him, he is reciprocating the way others treated him throughout his life thus far."

Suga huffed and sat back leaning against Daichi's chest. Akaashi did not say anything the whole time but once Ushijima said his piece he stood and instructed Bokuto to stay with the group, and walked away. Oikawa was barely staying awake while Iwaizumi looked like he was struggling with the words everyone knew he wanted to say.

"Can you…" Iwaizumi's words died in his throat

"I will no longer speak to your mate unless necessary, please forgive the trouble I have caused. On Satori's behalf I also apologize."

"Is that better?" Rose said, "now that the air has been cleared a bit, I do want you, Ushijima, to have a support network, while it's still small the three alphas here have each other. I want you to have at LEAST Bokuto to talk to should you need support and I'm not around…"

With a brief look around the room, "Now let's try to get along okay?" Rose sighed

"Rose…" Akaashi called from the hallway

She turned around and saw the omega gesturing for her to come. She walked over and saw Akaashi soothing a crying Tendou.

"Tendou, what's wrong sweetheart?" Rose kneeled in front of him

"Positive…" was all he said in response

"And that makes four…" Rose sighed softly

"What do we do?" Akaashi asked

"I think it would be best to help him to his room and let him talk to his alpha…" Rose said

"But I wanna go out there and apologize! I've said horrible things and I didn't mean to-" Tendou was cut off

"You need to rest right now, all that stress isn't good for you or the baby…" Akaashi cut him off, "I'll let the others know that you apologized…"

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

"Because you're going to need someone for support…" Akaashi said with a small smile, "and besides, you've pissed off all the omega's in this house, and the only alpha your alpha hasn't pissed off yet is mine… I'm the only choice you've got…"

"Thanks…"

"Okay Tendou, let's get you to your room." Rose said helping the omega to his feet, "Man, it is not fair how all of you are giants…"

"Well, we are all volleyball players…" Akaashi commented

"Yeah but still!" Rose whined, "I'm barely five feet tall!"

The three shared a giggle before Akaashi separated and went to see the others. He walked into the living room and paused staring at everyone, "The tension's gone…" he said

"We've resolved quite a few issues…" Daichi nodded at Ushijima

"Oh, okay then…" Akaashi padded over and sat next to Bokuto, "Ushijima-san, I believe that Tendou-san needs you right now, he is in the room with Rose."

"Thank you…" he nodded at Akaashi and stood from the couch, calmly and gracefully walking over to the room he shared with Tendou, knocking once before he entered

"Another one?" Suga asked looking at Akaashi

"Yes…" Akaashi nodded, "He also apologized for this morning, he said that he didn't mean what he said…"

"And that makes three…" Suga sighed, "Well we can't stay mad at him now…"

"I mean we could, but that wouldn't do us any good…" Iwaizumi commented

"It almost feels like we're forming a pack doesn't it?" Daichi said out of the blue

"Kind of, but we don't have a leader, plus with so many alphas here…" Oikawa finally commented, "That would mean a show of who was the most dominant alpha, and that would not end well…"

"That's true…" Bokuto agreed

-- THAT EVENING --

Rose was sitting in the sitting area reading a few books on male omegan pregnancy when the doorbell rung. She put the book down and walked over to the door. Looking through the peephole she noticed a couple students from Seijoh.

"Hi, can I help you?" She opened the door

"We just wanted to talk to you for a minute…" said the alpha

"Of course, come on in…" she smiled letting them in and bringing them to the living room

After settling them and bringing them some tea she asked, "What did you two need to talk about?"

"We… um… wanted to ask you if it was alright… to um…" the omega stuttered

"We want to try for a baby during his next heat, and was wondering if you'd let us stay here during then?" The alpha finished

Rose sat there wide eyed, "You want to get pregnant? Is that what you're saying?" She asked for clarification

"Yes…" the omega blushed

"I wouldn't suggest it since you both are quite young…" Rose said and watched as they just about wilted, "But! Sometimes you can't help it, your bodies are telling you that you want a baby so that's what's gonna happen…" she smiled

"Does that mean… you'll help us?" It was the alpha's turn to blush

"Yes I'll help you, I just have a request that you show up here about a week before your heat so I can get to know your habits and what will help you to conceive…" Rose explained, "If you need help getting away from your parents let me know, I'll come pick you up from your houses alright?"

The couple nodded excitedly.

"MAKKI?! MATTSUN?!" The shout came from the hallway where Oikawa could be found

"Oikawa, it's getting late, don't shout…" Rose scolded

"Oh sorry…" Oikawa smiled sheepishly

Iwaizumi walked out from the hallway and straight to the kitchen. He started to rummage around looking for something specific.

"I stored the bag of raisins on the top shelf, end cabinet on the left…" Rose called

Iwaizumi looked at her briefly before going over to said cabinet and reaching for a mysterious bag. It was a big bag of some sort of soupy concoction. Iwaizumi opened the bag and poured some into a small bowl. After getting a spoon out he placed the bag back on the top shelf and padded out to the living room.

"Iwa-chan what are you feeding our baby?!" Oikawa looked disgusted

"BABY?!" Makki shouted

"Yeah, I'm pregnant…" Iwaizumi said, "Why do you think I haven't been practicing much?"

"We thought you've been sick!" Mattsun commented, "Although looking at you now, I can sort of see the baby bump…"

"I suppose that you'd be able to see a small one by now…" Iwaizumi said, "But I'm only at 9 weeks…"

"Male omegan pregnancies show earlier than female pregnancies…" Rose explained, "it's not that uncommon to have a bump by now…"

"Oh okay…" Iwaizumi went back to eating his strange food

"So what are you eating?" Makki asked

"I'm… not actually sure…" Iwaizumi frowned into his bowl and then looked at Rose

"You mean you don't know what you're giving Bean?!" Oikawa was freaking out, "What if it makes you sick?!"

"Bean?" Mattsun looked at Iwaizumi raising an eyebrow

"He's stuck on calling the baby Bean since it's still too early to discuss names…" Iwaizumi rolled his eyes

"Anyways it's raisins in a mixture of brown sugar, vanilla extract, melted chocolate and and peanut butter…" Rose said, "Although you added hot sauce didn't you?"

Iwaizumi nodded happily taking another spoonful.

"Mommy's gonna kill you Bean!" Oikawa cried into Iwaizumi's stomach

"Shut up already Shittykawa!" Iwaizumi pushed him away

"So I'm gonna guess your cravings are pretty bad?" Makki asked

"Actually, they're strange but not that strong…" Oikawa said

"Yeah, like I think Suga's is worse than mine!" Iwaizumi said finishing his food

"Mr. Refreshing does have some weird cravings…" Oikawa commented, "I once saw him eating chicken strips with mayonnaise and peanut butter!!"

"You mean the vice captain from Karasuno?" Mattsun asked, "He's pregnant too?"

"Yup." Iwaizumi stood and went to wash his dishes

"What are you two doing here anyways?" Oikawa asked

"Well, next month is Makki's heat…" Mattsun explained, "We decided that we wanted to try for a baby…"

"You mean you're going to get pregnant ON PURPOSE?" Oikawa said, "Like TRYING to get pregnant?"

Iwaizumi slapped Oikawa upside his head, "Don't be rude…" he turned to his teammates, "Congratulations, good luck to you then…" he smiled

"Thanks!" Makki smiled, "Well, at least I can ask Iwaizumi for advice now!"

"I didn't plan this…" the other omega laughed, "Why would you ask me?"

"You know! Stuff like morning sickness, cravings, mood swings…" Makki elaborated

"Well if you get pregnant, that's what I'M here for…" Rose laughed, "I take care of the stressful stuff so that you can focus on keeping baby healthy…"

"Is there another one?" Came a voice from behind them

"No, just one being planned…" Iwaizumi said

Suga padded out of his room and sat next to Rose, "Ah! I recognize you, you two are also from Aoba Johsai right?"

Makki and Mattsun nodded and introduced themselves.

"Well, good luck!" Suga smiled

"KOUSHI!" Daichi burst out of the room and his eyes landed on his mate, "You scared me! Don't disappear like that!"

"Oh stop it you big baby…" Suga frowned

Even though Suga's baby bump wasn't big Daichi helped Suga off the couch. Suga and Daichi said their good nights and retired to their room. Iwaizumi yawned with a big stretch.

"Someone's an exhausted mama…" Mattsun commented

"He gets up at UNGODLY times!" Oikawa complained, "And I never know where he goes when he wakes up because he leaves me all alone!"

"If you woke up with me then there wouldn't be this problem would there?" Iwaizumi retorted standing from the couch, "But Mattsun's right, I'm tired…"

"Well goodnight everyone!" Oikawa beamed and skipped after his mate
