Pills are best swallowed with Tears

The sound of the faucet was prominent in the kitchen because the rest of the house was eerily quiet like it should be. Water filling a glass was all that could be heard besides his own breathing. Eddy watched it tiredly with a sigh. They didn't have the kids today, they were off with their grandparents for the weekend. Usually he would like the quiet but at the moment he did not. It left him with too much space to think. Typically that wasn't a terrible thing but right now it felt like it was as he put two pills under his tongue to wash down with water.

Being 37 and he wasn't getting any younger, not to mention his messed up reproductive system for abusing his heat medications for years upon years - it had to catch up with him eventually.

Brett was leaning against the door frame and watched his omega taking the fertility increasing medication. Eddy's heat was still wonky and all over place, even years after the medication abuse stopped. But they could do nothing against it; his mother herself said Eddy was not allowed to ever take a suppressant ever again if he wanted to have children on his own.

And here they were, after the check up. The doc prescribed a hefty dose of medication, a change of diet in Eddy's case, and supplements that would help the omega getting pregnant easier. Organically everything was fine. Normal for an omega of his age, they said. So it wasn't that bad. But it seemed that Mei was indeed like a jackpot. Eddy thought he got pregnant easily. He did not think like that anymore. They tried for months now and nothing happened. And the alpha could do nothing but watch and see his omega struggle.

"Eddy," he whispered in the quiet of the dusk of the evening, "Eddy are you okay?"

Eddy set the glass down, glancing at where the voice came from. It didn't really startle him since he knew his husband was around. He just supposed he didn't think Brett would be watching him this very moment. It pulled him out of his deep, deep thoughts, "Uh, yeah... "
He ran a hand through his hair and ruffled it in the back gently.

"Doesn't seem like it," Brett said softly and came closer to put his arms around Eddy's middle and pulled the omega towards his chest. Of course, Brett kept to his word and gained a tiny bit of fat. Not too much, since he didn't want to destroy all his progress, but now he was a bit fluffier - just for Eddy. He wasn't flabby or chubby in any case, he was not back to his pre-Mei body, but he gained 4kg. He kissed Eddy's neck and stroked over the still flat tummy.

"How are you doing?"

Eddy sighed as he leaned back in Brett's arms, "I guess I'm just frustrated with not being able to get pregnant... You know? We've been trying but nothing has happened and I know it's because something is wrong with me and I hate it."
He had cried about it many times when he showered alone, not really liking to cry around Brett or at work. Although he was pretty sure his team and his husband had caught him before.

Brett kissed Eddy's temple, knowing how hard it was for his mate. Eddy was so flippant when he was pregnant with Mei, thinking everything was too easy. In the end, they learned the hard way how much of a miracle she really is.

"Want to shower or take a bath with me? Relaxing all your tense muscles? Maybe I can give you a calming massage too?"

Eddy tried to pamper the alpha before and now it was Brett's turn. He did everything and went far beyond what Eddy needed and wanted. Money didn't matter to the alpha before and now it meant even less. The best medications were bought, the best supplements were ordered, some of them were even shipped from Germany or the United States just so Eddy got the best of the best with as little side effects as possible. Everything for Eddy.
