Alpha's Big Boy (mxm | mpreg)

22.

I was discharged a few days later, both pups in my arms as I walked out, trailing nervously behind Dimitri. He still seemed upset so I didn't bother him with my talking- the ride home was rather awkward. 

Though my babies were still tiny, I was feeling better about Dimitri being near them and holding them, so I made up a nest on our bed and scurried off to try and find Dimitri. After looking around, I saw him seriously typing away on the computer, unaware of my presence. I didn't want to disturb him but the pups were in the nest, and I felt bad leaving them for so long. Shuffling over to Dimitri, I cooed and chirped at him, my hands lightly rubbing his shoulders as I tried tugging him from the chair. To my utter delight he complied, allowing himself to be dragged over to the nest, only now did I notice just how tired he looked. 

I pushed him in the nest and lowered my pups onto him, purring excitedly as I snuggled up next to him with big hopeful eyes "M sorry alpha please don't be mad anymore" he seemed shocked and cradled the babies as if they were glass, his usually rough hands supporting their tiny bodies. Tears welled in his eyes and I rubbed his back as he cried quietly.

"I was- I was never mad. I was mad at myself, I was too holed up in my work again that I didn't have time to research post-birth effects, or- or even BE there for the birth. I- I'm so sorry Vitya" he leaned into my shoulder and cried in shame as I rubbed his back, crying a bit as well "Shhh Dimitri, my sweet heart, it's okay, never leave us please.. we love you" I coaxed, wiping the tears from his tired and haggard face, picking up Kiril who had began to fuss and pinning my shirt up to let him nurse. Dimitri snuggled into me and watched in wonder, his hands running small circles on my waist soothingly and whispering sweet nothing into my ear. I felt sleepy and Kiril had stopped nursing, so I stood up and placed both of my pups in their cribs before curling back up with Dimitri, scenting him and purring lazily. We both quickly fell asleep.

I was woken up to cries from my pups, I panicked and chirped, shuffling out of bed in a daze and holding them both in my arms, sitting down in the newly fashioned rocking chair and pulling off my shirt. Both pups latched hungrily, their tiny fists curled up against my chest, soft grunts and baby noises able to be heard. My heart melted as I rocked back and forth with them, smiling widely, though many people may have been a bit grouchy and irritated I was over the moon, purring excitedly. 

Dimitri had woken up as well and groggily trudged over to me, running his hands through my hair and watching as our pups nursed. I pressed a soft kiss to his jaw and held the now sleeping babies in my arms, placing them back into their cribs. Dimitri's hands circled my waist and pulled me back to bed as well, holding me tight against his warm body as he chuffed towards me, settling back into sleep.
