The Hidden Omega (NSB)

Nursery

(AN: Well, I got a new job and my college classes started all in the same week. Updates will probably be slower as I adjust to a new schedule, but I'm aiming for once a week AT LEAST!)

It wasn't until a couple of hours later that Oliver and Darren came to find Kane. While he was waiting, Kane had nested in the living room and was curled up with Reggie, watching a new anime he had gotten into. He had also texted his mom a picture of the ultrasound photo and got some more pregnancy advice from her.

Oliver comes into the room and smiles. "Hey, sorry I fell asleep. How did the appointment go? Is everything still on track? Is the baby healthy? Darren mentioned photos!" He came over to the nest and sat next to it, and Darren followed.

"Yeah, let's see the photos! The baby will actually look like a baby this time!" Darren said, excited.

Kane smiled happily and sat up a bit. Regie grabbed the remote and paused the show so Kane wouldn't miss anything. "Yes, everything is on track, and the baby is healthy. Here, look!" Kane holds out the pictures for them to see.

Darren looks at the picture and then Kane's stomach. "Wow, you really are growing a baby in there," he says, smiling. "When will it start moving? I wanna feel the baby kick!" He asked. Kane chuckles. "The doctor said it should be soon," he answered.

"The baby is growing so fast. It feels like we just found out about the little one, and now they have body parts, and soon they will be moving too," Oliver says, reaching out and placing his hand on Kane's stomach even though he won't be able to feel anything yet.

"We still have so much to do before the little one arrives," Kane says. A slight tinge of distress seeps into his scent as he begins to make a mental checklist of everything he still has to do."Don't worry, we still have plenty of time to get things done," Regie reassures him. He leans up and kisses Kane's head before pulling Kane into his neck to scent him.

"You also have plenty of help," Oliver reminds him.

"Oh, trust me, now that we have a room to put stuff in, we are all going baby shopping asap," Darren says and smiles. "That baby is gonna have so much stuff by the time it gets here you won't have to go shopping for a long time," he adds.

The other three laugh at Darren's enthusiasm, and Oliver smiles at him. "How about we go shopping this weekend?" He suggests.

"Yeah! That sounds great," Darren agrees.

The weekend rolled around, and everyone decided to go shopping together. They split up when they got to the baby store. Kane, Regie, and Ty decided to look for items like a crib, car seat, and baby monitor. Darren wanted to look at stuffed animals but ended up tagging along with Oli to look at humidifiers. Sebastian, Justin, and Ryan were picking up anything they decided was cute, and soon their basket was full of clothes, toys, blankets, pacifiers, and small stuffed animals.

By the time they all finished shopping, they had spent way more money than they had planned and managed to fill the trunks of both vehicles. "When we get home, you can go inside while we bring the stuff in, then after the furniture is put together, you can decide where to put it, and we can put the rest of the stuff away. Does that sound good?" Regie asked Kane.

Usually, Kane would argue that he should help bring the stuff in, but after being on his feet for a couple of hours while they shopped, he was more than happy to go inside and sit, so he nodded and kissed Regie on the cheek.

While Ty, Regie, Oli, and Sebastian worked on putting the furniture together, the others relaxed in the living room watching tv. After a bit, Kane mentions that he is feeling a bit hungry, so Darren heads to the kitchen to get him something to eat.

Once the furniture was put together, Kane was able to go into the room and decide where everything should be placed. They rearranged it about 5 times before Kane was satisfied with the placement. Ty, Oli, and Seb head to the kitchen to decide what to eat for dinner, but Kane decides to start putting everything else away since he ate earlier. Regie stays with Kane, of course.

It takes a few hours for Kane to get everything put away where he wants it. Regie didn't do a lot of putting away, but he stayed with Kane the whole time. Once it was done, Regie went to get some food. Kane stayed in the room a little longer and made a mental list of everything they still needed for the nursery.

He still needed more decor for the room, more clothes, and more nesting supplies. The baby couldn't have anything soft in the crib since it wasn't safe, but it was still necessary for there to be a nest in the room filled with lots of soft things for Kane to relax in, where the baby would be safe held in Kane's arms.

The Nursery nest was one of the most important nests in the house, and it needed to be perfect and safe. The nesting supplies that he had currently included some blankets from his nest in the bedroom, Some of Regie's clothes, All the stuffed animals they bought that day, and a baby blanket that his mom had sent them when she first found out. He decided that the next time he went shopping, it would be to get nesting supplies.

It took Kane two more trips to the store before he finally had enough supplies to begin making the nest. While Regie was busy playing video games, Kane went into the nursery and started on his nest.

After a few hours Regie decided to check on Kane. As he opened the door to the nursery, he was hit with the scent of his omega in distress. He rushed over to Kane quickly, looking him over for injuries. "What's wrong? Are you hurt? Is the baby ok?" He asked in a panic.

Kane was crying and tried to push Regie away. "The nest!" Kane cried.

"The nest? What about the nest?" Regie asked, calming slightly since Kane and the baby are both uninjured but still on edge from how much distressed scent is in the air.

"It's not good enough!" Kane had been remaking the nest for hours, but it never felt just right, and now he was at the point of crying so hard he was almost choking on his cries.

"You need to calm down. Let's take a break from the nest, ok?" Regie said in a gentle voice. He was pumping out his scent as much as he could to comfort Kane. When Kane tried to protest, he scooped him up as carefully as possible and removed him from the room himself. He took him to the pack room and gently placed him in the pack nest.

"Stress isn't good for you or the baby," Regie says. He gets into the nest and carefully holds Kane, and scents him.

"Let's rest for a little, and you can try making the nest again when you have a clear head," Regie tells him.

Kane doesn't say anything, but he slowly stops crying and starts to relax in Regie's arms.

This happens two more times before Kane completes the nest.

After the nest is done, Kane brings Regie to lay with him. While they are lying down, Kane sighs a bit. "Something wrong?" Regie asks, worried that Kane decided the nest wasn't as perfect as he had initially thought.

"I keep getting this weird bubbly feeling, I think it's gas, but I haven't been gassy. It was kind of distracting while I was making the nest, and I just wish it would go away," Kane explains. "Babe, Do you think it could be the baby? Online it said that the early movements could feel like that. It's why sometimes it can be hard to tell," Regie says.

Kane's eyes shoot open, and he looks down at his stomach. "the baby? Oh my god! The baby has been moving!" Kane exclaims. "Oh my god... I said I wished it'd go away." Kane starts to cry, but Regie is quick to offer comfort.

"Hey, hey, don't cry. The baby knows that you didn't mean it. You just didn't know. It's hard to tell early on. It's ok, the baby isn't upset with you," Regie reassures him and presses a kiss to his head.

Kane sniffles a bit but stops crying. "Really?" He asks. Regie nods and pecks his lips. They both lose track of time as they lay there, taking turns placing their hands on Kane's belly to try and feel the baby.
