The Hidden Omega (NSB)

Instincts

Kane was nearing the cut-off for traveling while pregnant, so he had made plans a couple of weeks ago to spend the weekend home with his family before he didn't have the chance. He had been so excited to see his family again, so making the call to tell them it had been canceled was hard.

Luckily, his mother understood. He knew she would since she had been pregnant before. He told her about leaving the house and how much he had craved Regie's scent, and she told him that it would only worsen the farther along he got. She told him about how it would get to the point that Regie wouldn't be able to leave the room without his instincts telling him he was getting abandoned.

He wasn't looking forward to it. It would be nice to have Regie around all the time, but he felt like he was becoming a stereotype. He told his mom that too, but she just laughed and told him that he was pregnant, so it was ok, and then he felt a little better about it.

After talking with his mom, he decided that he wanted Regie and was no longer content to sit alone in his nest, even if it was filled with Regie's scent. Regie was going to shower and then bring him something to eat, but it had already been quite a while.

He got up and made his way to find Regie. He decided to look in the kitchen first. He saw Regie putting the food on a plate and realized he should have just waited in the room.

Regie looked over, "Tired of waiting?" He asked. Kane just nodded. Regie smiled. "Sorry, I was planning on taking a quick shower, but I got distracted when I got under the hot water," he explained.

"It's ok. I know I'm being really clingy lately," Kane pauses and then asks, "since I already walked down the stairs, can we relax in the living room while I eat?"

"Of course we can," Regie replies. He grabs the plate and walks with Kane to the living room. Justin is sitting on the couch on his phone, and he looks up when they come in.

"Hey, how is the little one doing?" He asks.

"Good, was throwing a party in there earlier but calmed down a little bit ago," Kane replies.

Justin chuckles, "Got a little party animal on our hands."

Regie places his hand on Kane's stomach. "Hopefully, our little party animal will start calming down at night instead of the day so their Daddy Kane can get some sleep," Regie says.

Kane nods. "Very much in agreement with that," he says. "I'm going to be losing sleep once the baby arrives, so I was hoping to get some before then, but the little one apparently has other plans," he adds.

They continue to talk about the baby's arrival while Kane eats and relaxes.

Oliver comes home from picking up some food and greets them as he passes through the living room. "Hey guys, did everyone eat already?" He asks, noticing Kane has food.

"I'm not sure, but I only made food for Kane," Regie answers.

"Oh sweet, did you get food for everyone?" Justin asks, excited.

Oliver shakes his head. "No, just for me," Oliver replies and heads up the stairs.

Justin frowns, "Then what's the point in asking."

Oliver goes to Darren's room and knocks on the door. When he hears an acknowledgment, he walks in. "Hey, I got you some food while I was out," He says as he enters the room.

Darren looks over at him and smiles. "Thanks, but I already ate earlier. You should give it to Kane, or you can just put it in the kitchen, and someone will eat it," Darren says.

Oliver nods a bit. "Ok, yeah..." he says dejectedly. He goes back downstairs to the living room. "Hey, I'm not as hungry as I thought I was, so you can have the food," he says, handing the food over to Justin.
