-- THREE WEEKS LATER --
Rose sat in the library, as Mattsun and Makki called it, reading up on home births. Should one of her charges so choose to give birth here at the safe house she needs to be prepared. It was oddly quiet which left Rose on edge, with the way this group of charges were she knew something was going to happen soon. Almost as if on cue, Suga burst into the room.
"What's wrong?" Rose stood almost as soon as Suga opened the door
"It's Asahi…" was all Suga had to say before Rose ran out into the livingroom
Rose spotted Noya trying to help Asahi walk, Makki ran over to support the omega on the other side.
"Rose!" Noya called trying hold his omega steady
"What happened?"
"We were out at the park practicing a bit and he just collapsed!" Noya was freaking out, his stress leaking into the tone of his voice
"He's probably in heat…" Rose said trying to take Asahi off of Noya's shoulders
Suga watched in silence until he noticed something, "Makki-kun why are you trying to carry Asahi?!"
Makki looked up at Suga with a raised eyebrow, "Because he needs help!"
"But what if you're pregnant!" Suga said
"My heat was literally last week!"
The entire room froze. Rose walked over calmly and took Makki's spot in supporting Asahi before turning to the omega and saying gently, "Your heat was THREE weeks ago…"
Realization hit Makki like a semi-truck, "Then I don't think I am pregnant…" he smiled sadly
"Why not?" Suga asked, "Did you take a test?"
"No but I don't have any symptoms…"
"That doesn't mean you're not pregnant Taka…" Mattsun appeared from the hallway
"Everyone just wait a moment…" Rose said, "Let's get Asahi and Noya settled and then I'll come out and we can discuss this…"
"Rose…" Asahi called weakly
"Yes Asahi?" she answered
"My heats have never been this bad. I almost feel sick."
"It's because this is your first heat since losing your baby…" Rose explained, "Your body is trying to regain it's normalcy…"
Asahi and Noya both visibly wilted at the mention of their lost pup.
"It's okay…" Rose patted Asahi's shoulder, "You need time to grieve…"
"Thanks…" Noya said sadly
Rose and Noya got to Asahi's room when suddenly Noya remembered something, "YACHI-SAN!"
Rose quirked an eyebrow at the small alpha, "Who is Yachi-san?"
"Is Yachi okay?" Suga asked Noya
"No, Kiyoko-san and Yachi-san were with us at the park, but Kiyoko thinks Yachi went into heat too!"
"Where are they?" Rose's voice suddenly laced with protectiveness
"They should still be right outside the house…" Noya said
"Alright, take care of your omega…" Rose said, "I'll get them…"
Noya disappeared with Asahi into the room as Suga waddled out behind Rose who practically bolted outside.
"Kiyoko-san! Yachi-san!" Suga called as Rose stood deathly still with her nose raised to the air
"We're here…" Kiyoko whispered from a bush nearby
"Are either of you hurt?" Rose asked approaching the bush
"No… but Hitoka-chan…"
"Is Yachi-san your mate?" Rose asked
Suga looked at them waiting for an answer, the whole team had suspicions but they were always brushed off by their elusive managers. Kiyoko locked eyes with Rose and nodded.
"Is she in heat?" Rose asked extending her palm up to the alpha girl
"Yes… I'm afraid Azumane-san's heat triggered Hitoka-chan's…" Kiyoko reached her hand out and placed it palm up in Rose's hand signifying trust
"Let's get you two in the house…" Rose said, "Can you carry her on your own?"
Kiyoko nodded and picked up her mate. Rose gestured for Suga to return inside the house, she was not leaving a nearly five month pregnant omega out in the open. After Suga waddled into the house, Kiyoko was lead to an empty room for her and Yachi to use. Rose explained the use of the room and all the features quickly and allowed the mates some privacy before walking back out towards the living room.
"Now…" Rose sighed, "Makki…"
"Yes…?"
"I never gave you a test to take because I assumed you already knew…" Rose smiled, "But it looks like you forgot about it…"
"Yeah…" Makki blushed, "Do you really think I could be?"
"I think you definitely ARE…" Rose smiled
"How can you tell?" Suga asked
"While his scent is EXTREMELY weak, I can still smell the baby…" Rose smiled, "Mattsun, why don't you smell him up close…"
Makki leaned his head away from his alpha, barring his neck. The alpha wasted no time in tucking his face into his mate's exposed neck and inhaling deeply.
"Can you smell it babe?" Makki asked
"I…" Mattsun paused, "I think so…"
Makki felt his chest fill with pride.
"I'll bring you a test so you can take it…" Rose smiled, "Just to be sure…"
"Thanks Rose!" Makki smiled
Rose walked away down the hall.
"Congratulations!" Suga beamed
"We don't know for sure yet…" Makki blushed
"Rose's nose is never wrong! She knew I was pregnant by my scent before Daichi and I could even figure it out!" Suga smiled
"Is Makki-san pregnant?" Akaashi appeared from the hallway rubbing his stomach
"We aren't sure yet, Rose went to get a test for him to take…" Suga was practically buzzing
"Congratulations…" Akaashi smiled as Makki blushed hiding his face in his alpha's chest
Akaashi made his way into the living room and sat down next to Suga.
"How are you feeling Akaashi?" Suga asked
"Bloated…" Akaashi pouted
"How's your morning sickness?"
"It comes and goes…" Akaashi said plainly, "I heard Iwaizumi's was really bad today…"
"Really?" Suga asked, "By the time I was about as far along as he is I wasn't experiencing it anymore…"
"Well, everyone experiences something different…" Akaashi said
Iwaizumi emerged from his room with Oikawa holding his hand gently and a supporting hand on his back. Iwaizumi looked green. That couldn't be good.
"Are you alright?" Makki asked
"I'm gonna take Iwa-chan to the hospital…" Oikawa said
Iwaizumi was attempting to take deep breaths squeezing Oikawa's hand in one of his own and his other hand resting on his baby bump protectively.
"Why?" Akaashi asked, "Is something wrong?"
"I think he has food poisoning…" Oikawa said keeping his gaze focused on his mate
Rose came back with a box in her hand, "Here you are, Makki!"
Makki took the box from Rose but looked over at Iwaizumi and Oikawa. Rose also noticed the two heading towards the door.
"Hospital?" Rose asked
"Yeah…" Oikawa responded
Without anymore words Rose helped them get out to the car, she stood at the doorway and looked at Suga, "If anything happens here, call me…" with that she was gone.
"I hope he's okay…" Makki said
"Me too…" Suga commented
"I hate to be the selfish one here…" Mattsun said, "But I want to know if I successfully put a baby in my mate… Go take the test already!"
Makki smiled and skipped off to the bathroom.
"It's cute that you two are so excited…" Suga smiled
"We actually talked about having pups for over a year now…" Mattsun said
"Really?"
"Yeah, we decided that we still wanted pups now just as much as we wanted them when we bonded…" Mattsun explained, "We figured, that since we're graduating anyways, why not try for one now. Make our last year really memorable…"
"That's sweet…" Akaashi smiled
Makki came skipping back into the living room with a huge smile plastered to his face. He stood in front of his alpha.
"Well…?" Mattsun asked placing his hands on Makki's flat stomach
"We're gonna be parents!" Makki beamed
"We did it!" Mattsun grabbed Makki in a tender embrace
"Congratulations…" Called Tendou and Ushijima as they emerged from their room.
"Thanks…" the couple smiled back
"So how many is that now?" Tendou asked
"I think that's…eight…" Suga said trying to recount
"Our make-shift pack is getting bigger and bigger…" Tendou smiled, "So who's next?"
The room froze. It could be one of two people. Asahi or Yachi. Yachi was way too young and Asahi was still getting over the last one. Suga prayed that maybe whatever momentum had built up could maybe skip this month, maybe no one would get pregnant this time.
"I'm hoping that no one is next… but we'll just have to wait and see…" Suga said staring in the direction of Asahi's room.
"Koushi!" Daichi burst out of the room he shared with Suga
"What is it Dai?" Suga asked from his spot on the couch
When Daichi's eyes landed on Suga, everyone could see how he visibly relaxed.
"You worry way too much Sawamura Daichi…" Suga scolded playfully
With a little bit of a struggle Suga got off the couch and waddled over to his mate. Being that he was almost five months pregnant, the belly was starting to get in the way. Suga didn't even realized that it's slowly becoming more and more comfortable to waddle around wherever he went. Daichi smiled at the sight as his mate made his way over to him.
"Can you stop disappearing like that?" Daichi smiled and pressed a kiss to Suga's temple
Suga entered the room and Daichi closed the door behind them. Daichi watched as his mate made his way over to sit on the bed, back resting against the headboard.
"What?" Suga asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
"Because you're beautiful…" Daichi smiled lovingly at the pregnant omega
"Oh stop it you…" Suga blushed and smiled back, "I'm fat now, I can't be THAT beautiful…"
"Kou…" Daichi walked over and sat by Suga's legs, "You're not fat… and even if you were you'd still be just as beautiful as the moment I laid eyes on you…"
"Oh wow…" Suga started laughing, "You're so cheesy!"
"I'm here pouring my heart out to you, and you laugh!" Daichi feigning hurt
"You're such a dork…" Suga laughed
Daichi quirked a smile and reached his hand out to grab Suga's, "I really love you, you know…"
"I love you too…" Suga smiled and squeezed his hand back
"How's baby today?" Daichi asked eyeing his mate's swollen belly
"The baby is sleeping right now…" Suga smiled and smoothed a hand over his stomach
"When can we find out what we're having?" Daichi smiled tenderly, not taking his eyes away from the bump
"Next weekend…" Suga smiled, "I'm almost at the 20 week mark already!"
"I can't wait…" Daichi smiled
"We're halfway there Daichi…" Suga smiled at his mate
Daichi opened his mouth to say something when Suga made a small gasp. Suga's eyes were wide and jaw hanging open as he stared through Daichi.
"What's wrong?" Daichi watched as Suga's eyes drifted down to his stomach and gingerly placed a hand on it
"The baby…" Suga's voice barely a whisper
"Koushi? Is something wrong with the baby?" Daichi was getting worried
Suga didn't say anything. He reached for Daichi's hand and brought it over to his stomach. Daichi rested his hand over the same spot that Suga's hand had been just seconds ago. Daichi concentrated on the spot his hand was covering trying to see what Suga was making a big fuss over. He was about to ask again when he felt it.
Tap. Tap.
Daichi's eyebrows shot up as his eyes widened impossibly. ~What was that…?~
"Did you feel that Dai?" Suga asked excitedly
Daichi was lost for words. He nodded in response not taking his eyes off that spot, "Was that…?"
"The baby is kicking!" Suga smiled brightly
Daichi's eyes shot up to lock his gaze with his mate's. Suga noticed that the alpha's eyebrows were furrowed.
"What's wrong Daichi…?" Suga cupped his mate's cheek and looked deeply in his eyes
Daichi's eyes filled with tears that overflowed quickly and fell down his cheeks. He looked back down at the spot where his hand was resting on Suga's pregnant tummy, "I can finally feel him…" Daichi smiled through sobs
Suga smiled at his lovable mate. ~He's going to be such a good dad…~
"Is he kicking somewhere else?" Daichi asked placing both hands on Suga's stomach
"Lower Daichi…" Suga guided his mate's hands to feel where their baby was assaulting Suga's insides.
Daichi watched with teary eyes full of wonder and amazement, "He's kicking a lot huh Koushi?"
"Yeah, the BABY has been pretty active recently…"
"You still don't think it's a boy?" Daichi chuckled
"I'm holding out for my little princess…" Suga smiled
"I wouldn't mind having a girl…" Daichi smiled tenderly, nuzzling suga's baby bump, "Because she'd be daddy's girl…"
"No!" Suga batted Daichi with a nearby pillow, "She'd be mommy's girl!"
Daichi laughed and snatched the pillow away from Suga, the alpha paused and smiled down at his mate lovingly.
"What…?" Suga smiled bashfully, "Why are you staring at me?"
"Because you're beautiful…"
"Okay, enough with your cheese fest!" Suga hit Daichi's shoulder playfully
"I mean it you know…" Daichi frowned
"I know…" Suga smiled, "I really appreciate it, you make me feel really loved…"
Suga leaned over and placed a small peck on Daichi's cheek. The alpha turned his head and locked lips with his mate. Suga wasted no time in situating himself in Daichi's lap with the baby bump pressing lightly against Daichi's well toned abdomen. Daichi sighed as Suga carded his fingers through his short black hair.
Bzzzt. Bzzzt.
"Who's ruining our family moment?" Daichi asked upon hearing Suga's phone buzz
"I don't know, hand me my phone…"
Daichi reached over and picked up the phone and handed it over to it's owner. Suga unlocked his phone and opened the new text he received. Daichi watched Suga's face anxiously, waiting to see if the news he got was good or bad. Suga just about sprung up off of his mate's lap.
"DAICHI!" Suga squealed
"What? What's wrong?" Daichi was beginning to panic
"Oh nothing you silly paranoid alpha…" Suga giggled, "Takeda Sensei and Coach Ukai are having a boy!"
Daichi sighed in relief, "Well that's good…"
"Sensei said that the baby was being difficult up until now so the doctor could never tell…" Suga smiled excitedly at his phone, "He also said that Tomoe is upset at him for 'not having a sister inside his tummy!,' That's adorable!"
"Well at least our SON will have another BOY around his age to play with…" Daichi smirked at Suga
"Just you wait Sawamura Daichi…" Suga narrowed his eyes at the alpha, "You wait until Dr. Yoshio tells us that we're having a girl next week…"
"We're gonna have a boy Koushi, I'm telling you…"
Suga shook his head and rolled his eyes, all with a smile before looking down and placing a hand over his bump, "You're daddy is nuts, I hope you aren't nuts like him…"
"Mommy's just mad because daddy is right for once…" Daichi laughed placing his hands on Suga's tummy too, "I have strong dad senses…"
"My maternal instincts trump your 'dad senses' DADchi…" Suga laughed
"And you say I'M the cheesy one…" Daichi chuckled kissing Suga's cheek sweetly
Ding.
"Hey you two in there, I'm back… Can you come out here please? There's something the house must discuss…" Rose said through the intercom
Suga waddled over to the button and pressed it saying, "Sure, we'll be out in a minute…"
Daichi got off the bed and walked over to Suga, "It sounds serious, you think everyone is okay?"
"I have no idea…" Suga turned to his mate and wrapped his arms around Daichi
Daichi took a moment to embrace Suga knowing that anytime something bad happens to someone Suga knows, he blames it on himself. Daichi had to reassure his mate that whatever happened it wasn't his fault.
"Don't worry Kou, I'm sure it's nothing bad…"
"Thanks Daichi…" Suga pulled away from the embrace and smiled up at Daichi
Daichi released Suga and opened the door, allowing his pregnant mate to waddle out of their room where they were greeted by a very concerned looking Rose and a rather dead looking Oikawa.
"What happened?" Daichi asked as he settled next to Suga on the couch
"Now that everyone's here I can say what's happened…" Rose looked around at everyone, "Iwaizumi has to stay in the hospital for a little while…"
"What?! Why?!" Makki gasped
"The doctor's aren't sure how but someone poisoned him with a slow-acting bacteria…" Rose explained, "It's easily curable but if he had waited any longer the damage would have been irreversible."
"How did that happen?!" Mattsun asked
"I'm looking into it but until then I want my omegas to be with someone CONSTANTLY…" Rose said, "So when you all go back to school next month, alphas, please walk your mates to their classrooms and then pick them up after…"
All the alphas except Oikawa glanced over at their omegas and then nodded at Rose.
"Daichi and Suga, please watch over whoever is next... " Rose said looking at the direction of the two currently occupied rooms, "Seeing as both are from Karasuno…"
Daichi nodded but Suga immediately froze, "Do you really think either of them will get pregnant? It's possible they won't right?"
"It's possible…" Rose paused before looking back at Suga, "But I… honestly don't think that's gonna happen…" ~I've got my money on one omega in particular but I can't tell them that…~
The room was heavy with silence, no one was moving or looking at each other. Rose looked around at her charges, counting heads. ~Oh my god, I've got seven charges already… I hope I won't need to ask for more slots to house more charges…~
