Tuesday

Shiro was sitting in the passenger seat, and he was silent. He was so nervous that it felt like he was going to pass out. His hands grabbed his knees, and Deion, who was driving the car, glanced at him, put his hand over Shiros and squeezed it gently.

"Talk to me, Shiro. Are you nervous about how Dorian and Finian will react?"

But to Deion's surprise, Shiro shook his head.

"No, I'm not worried about that anymore. I know they will be happy."

Shiro was sure about that. Dorian loved him, and Finian was his friend and far too kind for this world.

"So, what's the matter then?"

"What if something's wrong? Just like it was with Ikumi."

Ikumi didn't grow as she should have, and they had to start the delivery ten weeks before the estimated date. Ikumi's first two months they spent at the hospital, and Shiro and Kei had been overwhelmed with anxiety and fear without knowing what to do. Shiro didn't want to go through that again.

"Don't worry. Even if there are complications, which I don't think there will be, we are all there for you. You aren't alone, buddy."

Shiro immediately felt a little more hopeful. Deion always managed to calm him; he really was a great manager and friend.

During the rest of the twenty-minute drive to the omega hospital, the two men talked about Joy. Deion had met Joy's children for the first time two days earlier, and according to the woman, the children had really liked their mother's new boyfriend. Shiro thought that Deion sounded so much like a teenager in love that he couldn't help but tease him a little. But Shiro was happy for his friend. Deion had always prioritized Shiro and Shiro's career before his own love life, and Shiro hadn't even seen Deion with a partner. His last relationship ended before Deion became Shiro's manager, and Shiro knew that Deion wanted his own family.

After they parked the car in the hospital garage, Shiro began to feel nervous again. Deion noticed this and took Shiro's hand in his while giving him a soft smile. As if to tell him that everything was going to be alright.

"I still can't believe that you're pregnant even though you took contraceptives. You didn't forget to take them, did you?"

Shiro shook his head. He was always careful to take his pills.

"Not once."

"Strange," Deion said, and Shiro agreed. It was indeed strange.

Shiro wore a black cap and kept his gaze down. He didn't want to be recognized by anyone. However, they didn't have to wait long until Joy entered the waiting room, and with a gentle smile, she waved at them to come without saying anything. They kept quiet as they continued down the corridor, but as soon as they entered the examination room, Joy turned to Deion, grabbed the front of his black shirt, pulled him to her and kissed him hard. Shiro quickly looked away while he blushed and grinned at the same time.

Deion was surprised, but when Joy released his lips, the alpha kissed her forehead and smiled tenderly.

"I missed you too, honey."

Shiro didn't say anything, but it was hard not to. He knew that Deion and Joy had only been apart for less than six hours. But Shiro thought they were cute, so he let them be.

Joy turned to Shiro. She didn't seem to care at all that Shiro had seen them kiss. She looked completely unaffected.

"Shall we start?" She asked, pointing to the bed.
