Over the next few days, Miguel allowed the omega to get comfortable in his cabin and tried to ease him into gradually falling asleep on the soft mattress. It was something the prisoner should have been grateful for after several nights locked in the brig, but he was being uncharacteristically testy and fickle.

{"No thanks, you pervert. I'll sleep on the floor."}

["The doctor insisted you sleep on the mattress in your condition."]

["My condition? My babies, not a terminal disease, you dick."} - Robby was furious

["That's not what I meant, and you know it. Why do you have to make this so difficult?"]

{"I never asked you to bring me home. I was happy, far away from ALL of you."}

["I was just following orders."]

{"Maybe I didn't want to go home. You ever think about that, you prick?"}

["It doesn't matter what you want."] - Miguel regrets that instantly.

{"I guess you're right. That's how I got into this mess in the first place".}

Robby's voice had been angry and spiteful when he lashed out at him, but now his pretty green eyes just looked pained.

Miguel feels like his heart is going to shatter into pieces as he watches the other boy shed a seemingly never-ending amount of tears. Clearly, there was something else going on here the captain wasn't fully able to comprehend at the moment. An emotional pain that was more profound than it looked at first glance.

'Remember what the doctor said,' Miguel took a calming breath. 'It's just his hormones going wacky.'

Somehow it seemed like more than just mood swings.

He tried to reach out and comfort the omega, only for his touch to make the pregnant male flinch and sob uncontrollably. The intensity of the tremors going through him couldn't have been easy on his fragile body.

'I'm sorry,' Miguel thinks, feeling utterly helpless.

What am I even sorry for?

He was darned if he knew.

Mood swings were a real bitch.
