Alpha's Big Boy (mxm | mpreg)

20.

I woke up blearily, reaching around franticly for Dimitri, I tried to call out for him but my throat hurt immensely, only leading me to whimper and cry. My alpha soon darted into the room bustling over to me and wrapping me in a hug "Shhh... shh sweetheart it's okay" I nestled into his arms and calmed down, warily watching everyone else who'd come in as well. A nurse stepped forward to take my vitals, ignoring my distress signals as she reached over and tried to place a heart monitor on my finger. As my warning hisses figured, I snapped out and nearly bit her hand, my eyes fiery and defensive as I curled into a growling Dimitri for support. 

The nurses seemed panicked and shuffled out of the room to get a doctor, all while Dimitri tried to reassure me "It's okay my love, it's okay.." I huffed in response, and wrapped my arms around my belly as a doctor came in, a calm suave look on his face. "Hello Vitya, we need to take a look at your babies-" I snarled and hissed, wrapping further around myself angrily "NO" I snapped, shuffling back further into the bed as he frowned. 

Sighing, he rubbed his head "Well.. can you answer these symptoms.."

After a long gruelling rundown on how I was feeling and a 24 hour watch period, we were allowed to leave, my bruised throat wrapped in gauze to hide the purple and yellow hand-shaped bruises. From what the doctors were able to get, the baby seemed fine, I refused to let them do much else, my instincts haywire. 

We got to the house and wearily packed, closing up a very unhappy Pasha in his crate and booking it out of the house and towards the airport. I felt bad our trip had to end so soon.

Arriving home was an amazing feeling. Pasha and I had a lot of trouble on the plane, both of us growling and hiding in Dimitri's arms. Since we were home, I dropped my bags and waddled upstairs, curling into my stale nest and relaxing, welcoming Pasha into my arms as Dimitri's hands circled my waist, rubbing soothing circles. His lips pressed kisses to my ear "Vitya, my sweet lover, what's on your mind?" I blinked back tears "I had to end our trip early, I'm sorry.." Dimitri pulled me closer and kissed my nape, nipping at the sensitive skin as I leaned into him "No darling, it's not your fault.. I'm so proud of you for keeping them safe, such a beautiful and amazing mother.." I purred at his praise, blinking my watery eyes at him and settling down to sleep, his hands running through my hair. 

--------------------

I had now been pregnant for eight months, nearly nine, and despite the swollen chest, ankles, and waist, I was LOVING it. It felt so secure to curl up with my big belly at night, singing little songs to them and napping with Pasha on the couch. Dimitri's work had picked up quite a bit and usually the days were lonely. I had thought of inviting people over but was still wary of the last encounter with Jack. On a much lighter note, I started taking online college classes, enjoying botany and biology the most, sometimes there were zoom calls for a test and what not, but by angling my camera up it hid my pregnancy belly. 

Adjusting the blue light glasses on my face, I squinted at the computer, my white hair in a low messy bun, and Pasha meowing sadly at my feet due to the fact I was so big he couldn't sit on my lap anymore. I had to go in for a midterm soon, and to my hesitance it was in-person, along with the next few semesters I had to attend physical college as they didn't offer the secondary course online. I sighed and rubbed my belly, hoping that I wouldn't get too much hate for waddling into midterms heavily pregnant. Finishing up an essay and sending it off to the professor, I stood and popped my back, huffing and struggling off to the bathroom to release my bladder for the umpteenth time. 

I checked the time and frowned, nearly 11 pm and Dimitri wasn't home yet. My heart hurt and I felt lonely, snuggling up into the bed that was slowly losing his scent and drifting off to sleep. I woke up the next morning once again to no Dimitri, I held back tears and tried calling him several times, only for him to hurriedly pick up "Vitya? Everything okay? I'm in a meeting right now I'm sorry" I could hear chatting and murmurs around him- it sounded like he was in a hallway. I sighed "No. It's okay. You just.. you didn't come home last night.. or the night before that" I whispered. He sighed as well "I know baby- wait hold on.." the line was muffled and I looked dejectedly at my belly, rubbing it and petting Pasha for comfort as he picked back up "Sorry love I gotta go." 

The line went dead and I sighed, rubbing my face into his pillow and missing his smokey scent. Eating a quick breakfast and brushing my teeth, I sat down at my desk chair and popped open the morning's first class, the camera angled away from my tummy as I felt small wriggles kick me. I smiled softly and yawned, listening to the professor and writing down a few notes, I was tired and a bit frazzled when he called on me I looked up and tucked a long strand of hair behind my ear "Oh- the answer to question ten is coastal ecosystems" I stammered out. He hummed and nodded, moving onto his next victim, unaware of the hungry gazes on my figure.

All too soon it was midterms day, Dimitri had taken the day off to drop me off at the campus and pick me up, smothering me in kisses before I stepped out of the car. I wore a big sweater and leggings, it was still clear I was pregnant, but it was much more lowkey than what I usually wore. I got a few glances from others and made my way to the testing room, sitting down and trying to hide how much I struggled to lower myself into the chair. There were some people I recognised from the calls, and they were staring at me stupified, I felt embarrassed and used my long hair to hide my face. 

The professor entered and cleared his throat as a TA handed out papers. He began to call role, a soft chorus of 'here's rang out,  was the last on the list, looking up and calmly replying "Here". An alpha or two gazed back at me, no doubt scenting my sweet pregnancy smell. I brushed off the looks and got started the test, yawning and filling in the answers. 

An hour or so past and my stomach began to hurt, I gritted my teeth and sat through it, answering the last ten questions. My rational mind thought it was just something I had ate, but by the time I had locked myself in a unisex bathroom and glanced down at the pool of water below my feet, I knew what was going on. Bracing myself against the wall, I slid off my pants, trying to reach around for my phone and gritting out a quiet 'Fuck' as another pain hit. 

This was sure as hell going to be a fun birth.
