-- ABOUT THREE WEEKS LATER --
"AHHHH!" Noya bolted up from his sleep, "Asahi!" He yelled for his mate
"Yuu…" Asahi groaned as he flicked the bedside lamp on and sat up slowly rubbing his eyes, "What's wrong?"
"Asahi…" Noya breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed his omega in a tight embrace
"What happened?" Asahi asked again as he returned the affection
"I… Just…" Noya pushed his nose into Asahi's scent glands, "Nightmare…"
"Oh Yuu…" Asahi squeezed his alpha closer to him, "What was it about?"
"You…"
"That's very specific…" Asahi groaned, "Come on, what scared you so bad that you woke up yelling for me?"
"You lost this baby too…"
"Oh…" Asahi went quiet. ~Yuu is being haunted by our past…~
"I just, I love you both so much…" Noya hugged Asahi impossibly tighter
"Well, you're going to hurt us if you squeeze us anymore…" Asahi chuckled
"Sorry…" Noya lessened his hold on his mate but didn't let go
"Yuu?"
Noya reached a hand between them and settled on Asahi's still flat stomach, "Where's the baby?"
"Lower…" Asahi guided his mate's hand to rest right beneath his navel, "The baby isn't too big so it's lower in my body until it gets bigger…"
"Protect our little one well, Asahi…" Noya burried his nose in Asahi's scent glands
Asahi also bent his head inward to nuzzle at his alpha's scent glands as well, "I will, alpha…"
After Noya felt his heart rate settle he pulled away from Asahi and smiled lovingly.
"Yuu, what time is it?" Asahi asked looking around for their clock
"It looks like it's about…" Noya grabbed his phone from it's charger and checked the time, "Four in the morning…"
"Okay then let's go back to sleep…" Asahi yawned
"Yeah… okay…" Noya laid down and pulled Asahi against his chest. It was a bit awkward because Noya was so much smaller than Asahi, but it was enough for them as they fell into a peaceful sleep until-
Ding.
"Hey you two in there, I could use Noya's help out here a bit…" Rose called tiredly through the intercom
Noya looked down at Asahi nestled peacefully against his chest and sighed. He untangled himself from his sleeping mate and walked outside.
"What's going on?" He asked with a yawn
"I have THREE omegas in heat, and their alpha's are currently outside fighting off other alphas that were attracted to the heat pheromones!" Rose explained frantically, "I need you to head outside and help them shoo off the other alphas!"
Noya was definitely awake now. This situation meant danger for anyone in the house, and who was in the house? His mate, his PREGNANT mate. Noya ran outside to see Daichi struggling with an alpha on the ground, Bokuto was busy trying to get another alpha off of the Nekoma captain, Ushijima currently had another pinned to the ground when one tackled Noya.
"Lev!" Kuroo called as he watched the half-Russian be tackled
Kuro struggled to get around everyone to push the savage alpha off of his teammate. Suddenly a gunshot resounded. Everyone froze. Who got shot? What happened?
"ENOUGH!" Rose bellowed from her spot in the door frame, "I want, Kuroo, Haiba, and Aone in the house NOW!"
All three alphas scrambled off the ground and ran into the house.
"Where's Kenma?!" Kuroo frantically looked around until his eyes landed on Akaashi, "Where's Kenma?"
"He's in one of the rooms, but I can't let you in there until Rose says…" Akaashi responded plainly, "Until then, just sit down and take a minute to calm yourselves… all of you…"
Aone nodded and sat on the couch taking a deep breath before fixing his gaze outside. ~I wonder what's going on?~
"Akaashi come on!" Kuroo growled slightly, "Kenma needs me!"
"Don't growl at Akaashi…" Suga waddled out of his room
"Sugawara…" Kuroo made eye contact with said omega
"Rose has set rules that we all follow…" Suga said firmly, "Just wait until she comes back in…"
"Where's Yuu?" Asahi poked his head out curiously
"He's probably outside…" Suga turned to address Asahi
"Oh…" Asahi was about to step out of his room when his eyes landed on Aone
Immediately the smell of a distressed omega permeated the air. Asahi stood frozen by his door.
"Asahi…?" Suga turned to him worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Asahi just stared in terror.
Outside, Noya was sitting there shocked that Rose fired her gun. He didn't think she'd do it with so many of the ones she wanted to help within range.
"You rogue alphas, I want you OFF my property…" Rose growled
All the ones that were came to attack cowered away from the show of power from this small woman. As they all retreated Rose looked around and suddenly smelled an omega in distress, before she could figure out who it was Noya bolted inside the house.
"Asahi!" Noya shouted for his omega, "What's wrong?"
Noya ran over to Asahi who was now sitting with his back pressed against his door.
"A-Aone…" Asahi whispered
Noya turned around and saw the Date Tech player that Asahi feared so much sitting on the couch.
"Asahi…" Noya looked straight into his omega's eyes, "Get in the room." Noya demanded
In Asahi's frightened state, his inner omega instantly obeyed his bonded alpha and scurried back into their room. Noya turned to face everyone who looked at him curiously, "I'll take care of him…" was all he said before he disappeared into the room.
"What's wrong with Asahi?" Rose quirked an eyebrow
"I think he's afraid of Aone…" Suga said looking in said alpha's direction
"Of me…?" He looked genuinely surprised
"Yes, you were the whole reason Asahi had quit playing volleyball for a while…" Suga explained
Aone looked shocked, "I didn't realize…"
"Well, that may cause problems with you and your omega staying here…" Rose sighed, "We'll have to settle it later…"
Aone blinked at Rose, "Futakuchi isn't my omega…"
"What?!" Came a general response from the occupants of the room
"I see, you just wanted somewhere safe for him to go through his heat…" Rose said
Aone nodded in response.
"Well it is late, if you'd like to stay the night in a separate room…" Rose offered
"If you wouldn't mind…"
"Of course…" Rose smiled, "Okay, now moving onto-"
"Where. Is. Kenma?!" Kuroo growled through clenched teeth
If looks could kill, the look Rose gave Kuroo in that second might as well have been a loaded AK-47.
"Are you bonded to Kenma?" Rose asked obviously not pleased with the tone the alpha was taking with her
"No, but I've been courting him!" Kuroo stood tall and glared down at the small omega woman, "We've already talked about going through this heat together…"
"I still need to go have a talk with him." Rose said bluntly, "Now as I was saying-"
"Do. Not. IGNORE me!" Kuroo growled and tackled Rose
In barely half a second, Kuroo was pinned to the ground under the agent, "Alright, listen you…" Rose leaned down to snarl her words against his ear, "You will have to wait like the other alphas, do you understand me? If you try this shit again, I will kick you out. GOT IT?!"
The whimper of fearful submission that came from Kuroo was a shock to everyone. To think that this great and powerful alpha was scared into submission by an omega.
"Now…" Rose huffed standing tall and stepping away from Kuroo, "Haiba… are you bonded with the omega you brought in?"
"Lev is fine, and no…" Lev smiled, "But, Yaku-san and I were talking about spending his heat together, but just no bonding yet…"
"I see…" Rose said, "Well, they are sedated for now so let me go and talk to them…"
Rose walked away and knocked on Kenma's door, "Kenma, it's Rose, I need to talk to you…" she said through the intercom
Kenma's face appeared as the door cracked open, "Where's Kuroo?"
"That's what I need to talk to you about hon." Rose offered a smile
Kenma opened the door and let the small woman into the room.
"So Kenma, your alpha seems rather protective don't you think?" Rose said unamused
"Did he attack you?" Kenma frowned, "I told him he needed to behave…"
"I just need to know that you have given your consent to spend your heat with him…" Rose sighed, "That's why he was irritated…"
"I see…" Kenma said slightly blushing, "Well, yeah, the plan was to bond during this heat…"
"Okay, that's all I needed to know…" Rose smiled and headed towards the door, "I'll send him in, good luck!"
"Can I please go see Kenma now…?" Kuroo asked kneeling at Rose's feet, "I'm sorry for attacking you, I was just…"
"Frustrated…" Rose smiled, "I understand, but please try to control your temper… you can ask Oikawa and Iwaizumi what happens if you don't…"
Rose looked over at Oikawa as he flinched and looked ashamedly at his feet.
"Whelp, I suppose that Yaku is next…" Rose said heading towards the room next to Kenma's, "Yaku, I need to speak with you…" Rose said into the intercom
The door flung open but Yaku was nowhere to be seen. Rose walked in cautiously when the door shut behind her, "Please help me!" Yaku begged her
"What's wrong?" Rose turned to face the omega. He must have been hiding behind the door…
"I need some relief during my heat but I don't want to bond with Lev just yet!" Yaku was having a panic attack
"Don't worry!" Rose smiled, "I have this spray for you to use…"
Yaku looked curiously at the woman as she reached into the left nightstand and pulled out what looked like perfume.
"This spray will last for seven whole days, it prevents the alpha from bonding with you while you're in heat…" Rose explained, "It's very strong so we need to be careful… We don't want to kill Lev's nose…"
Yaku nodded, "I didn't realize there were products like that…" he said in amazement
"Of course, with the rise in omega awareness, more products for the omega's safety are being developed…" Rose smiled, "Now show me your scent glands, I just need to spray this over the ones on your neck so Lev doesn't try to bond with you…"
Yaku bared his neck as Rose sprayed him with the liquid. Yaku sniffed the air, "Why is there no smell?"
"That's because only alphas' noses will be able to pick up the spray…" Rose smiled, "That way you won't have to be distracted by your own scent…"
"Wow…" Yaku said running his fingertips over his scent glands
"The suppressants I gave you earlier should be wearing off soon, good luck Yaku!" Rose smiled and exited the room
"Is Yaku-san alright?" The giant asked Rose
"Yes he's fine, he said that he wasn't ready to bond with you yet so I sprayed his scent glands with an alpha deterrent, it won't hurt you like a the repellant, but it will stop you from bonding with him…" Rose explained
"Thank you Rose!" Lev reached down and hugged the woman
"Of course Lev!" Rose smiled, "The suppressants will be gone soon, I suggest that you go and see him…"
"Thanks again Rose!" Lev said before entering Yaku's room
"Okay, one last omega to check on…" Rose walked into another hallway, the house was set up with two main hallways, each one had nine rooms, now that one hall was completely filled she had to put the other omega in the other hallway. ~Shit with this unexpected turn of events I'm up to ten charges… I'll need to talk to Tulip soon…~
"Futakuchi…" Rose called through the intercom, "Can I see you for a minute?"
"Sure…" He responded when he opened the door
"So are you planning to spend your heat alone?" Rose asked
"Well…" the tall omega looked away and blushed, "I was sort of hoping that maybe Aone would help me…"
"You want him to help you?" Rose asked surprised
"Yeah, he's the only one I'd trust enough to make sure I'd be okay…" Futakuchi eyed his toes, "I usually spend my heats alone, and it hurts so bad… I just really don't want to do it alone again…"
"Alright…" Rose nodded, "I'll go talk to him, in the meantime, familiarize yourself with the preventative measures I've supplied in the left nightstand…"
"Thank you…" Futakuchi smiled one of relief
Rose walked outside to see majority of the already resident safe house alphas dozing off on the couch, floor, table, chairs, basically anywhere they fit.
"Hey!" Rose called, "Everyone may return to their rooms, thank you very much for your help tonight…"
All the alphas trudged their way back to their rooms while Aone sat on the couch looking curiously at Rose, "Is something wrong with Futakuchi?"
"No, but while he was still lucid…" Rose paused unsure of how to approach the big alpha, "He said you were the only one he trusted, and would like to ask you to help him through his heat…"
Aone's eyes became impossibly big, "I… um…" Aone felt his cheeks heat up
"I understand that it's a rather big decision, but I've supplied preventative measures in Futakuchi's room…" Rose said gently placing a hand on the blushing giant's shoulder, "If you don't want to, you don't have to…"
Aone looked down and eyed the floor, "I want to make sure Futakuchi is taken care of…"
"Then, get in there…" Rose smiled, "Don't forget! I provided protection in the left nightstand!"
"Th-thank you…" Aone blushed and disappeared into Futakuchi's room
Rose let out a big yawn. !~I just hope that all three don't get pregnant tonight… I don't think I'd be able to handle that…~ Rose walked into her room and plopped down on her bed and fell asleep.
-- THE NEXT MORNING--
"Hello…?" Said the person on the other side of the line
"Hey, Tulip… it's me…" Rose said into the phone
"Rose?"
"Yeah, look I have a favor to ask…" Rose sighed
"What do you need?"
"I know you don't have time to talk much, but I need to meet up with you…" Rose said
"What could you need me for?" Tulip responded, "You're the head of your department you know…"
"Yes I know." Rose retorted, "I'm running out of slots and I need to borrow some from you…"
"How many?"
"I have ten charges total right now, and 17 projected…" Rose said
"And you have how many slots on your own?"
"11…" Rose said
"So you need six more?"
"Please, by next month I could be completely filled!" Rose begged
"Look, I need to wait a while before traveling, my charge had his baby last week!" Tulip sighed, "We'll meet up around New Years' time… I'll email you some details for a meet up and see if they are okay with you…"
"Thanks Tulip…" Rose said quickly before hanging up
Rose walked from the kitchen where she'd been sitting at the island, to the living room and plopped onto the couch. ~Man she's such a bitch to talk to sometimes…~ Rose rubbed her face with her hands and gave a big sigh.
"What's wrong?" Came a voice from behind her
Rose looked behind her and saw Suga leaning against the wall rubbing his hands over his swollen abdomen.
"Oh nothing in particular…" Rose smiled, "I just got off the phone with my older sister…"
"About borrowing slots?" Suga asked as he waddled his way over to Rose and sat next to her
"Yeah… she's a pretty harsh person and can be hard to talk to…" Rose chuckled and shook her head, "But she's got a big heart… and she always means well…"
"She's sounds like a complicated person…" Suga remarked
"She is…" Rose laughed, "But I still love her… she is my sister after all…"
"I bet…" Suga smiled, "I wonder if my kids will have a good relationship like that…?"
"Kids? Suga you're only having one!" Rose laughed, "Or are you planning on having more?"
"N-not right away!" Suga blushed, "I just meant, IF I have another, not that it's for sure gonna happen!"
"It's okay Suga, I get it!" Rose laughed, "So how are you feeling?"
"I'm alright…" Suga sighed, "It's just hard to get around at school… I'm always tired now! And when I do have energy I don't have it for long…"
"That's because you're pregnant." Rose giggled, "Look at it this way! You're almost six months pregnant! In three short months you'll have your son in your arms!"
Suga stared at Rose wide eyed, "I didn't think about that…"
"It's not that far away Suga…" Rose smiled, "Do you and Daichi have a name for your little boy yet?"
"Daichi said he'll make the decision by next week…" Suga laughed, "He's got it narrowed down to two names that he likes…"
"Do you know which ones?"
"Not a clue…" Suga sighed, "But I trust that he won't name our son something stupid…"
"You talking about names?" Iwaizumi appeared from his room and also waddled his way to the couch
"Yeah, Daichi still still hasn't decided yet…" Suga smiled seeing that he was no longer the ONLY one waddling
"Have you and Oikawa thought about names yet?" Rose asked
"Yeah, because I don't want to find out what I'm having, we picked out a name for either gender…" Iwaizumi relaxed into the couch
"What are they?" Suga and Rose asked excitedly
"Mitsue for a boy, and Mieko for a girl…" Iwaizumi said with a slight blush to his cheeks, "Talking about it now makes it feel more real…"
"I assure you that it is in fact real…" Rose laughed
"Those are beautiful names!" Suga gushed
"Th-thanks… I guess…" Iwaizumi blushed some more, "Hey what is your faculty adviser having?"
"Takeda sensei is having a boy!" Suga smiled, "Sensei is at 29 weeks so he's almost done!"
"Wow!" Iwaizumi said, "I didn't think he was that much farther than you…"
"Yeah…" Suga smiled, "He's six weeks ahead of me!"
"Have they named the baby yet?" Rose asked
"Yup!" Suga smiled excitedly, "His name is going to be Ukai Tomeo!"
"Oh cute!" Rose smiled, "It sounds a lot like Tomoe… keeping the names close I guess…"
"What about you Rose? What are your kids' names?" Iwaizumi asked
"Unfortunately I can't tell you that…" Rose smiled apologetically, "It gives away my background, and that's something I can't do…"
"Oh…" Suga frowned, "Sorry for asking…"
"Oh it's nothing…" Rose smiled, "Oh! By the way! I have a 'time' for when we are going to go meet my sister!"
"Oh really?" Iwaizumi asked
"Yes!" Rose's smile widened, "Her charge gave birth last week, so she said we'd do it around New Years' time…"
"Let's hope I haven't popped by then…" Suga said rubbing his tummy slowly
