Life with a pup was interesting. Kat has never been this tired in her entire life. It's been two weeks since Hobi brought their little Landon home, and while he is the sweetest pup known to man, he also screams nonstop. No one can figure out what's wrong. 

He's only happy when he's lying on someone's chest, with his face smushed into someone's neck, right up against their scent gland. It doesn't matter who it is as long as it's one of the pack members. The only exception is the two pregnant Omegas. He has no issues with Kris, so it has to be the fact that they are pregnant that is putting him off.

He doesn't like humans and will wail uncontrollably if a human tries to hold him, which annoys all of the ladies at Kat's school. They all swore that babies loved them and that they knew just the trick to get him to stop crying. But literally, there's only one way to stop him, and that's to hold him on their chest.

Kat went in search of her pup. Jungkook had stolen him to rub it in Tae's face so he could hold him. Tae and Jimin were both pouting. They wanted to snuggle with the pup, but as soon as they got close to him, he'd start to cry more. She walked into the living room, and Jimin and Tae were on one side of the couch, glaring at the sleeping Beta and pup on the other side.

"Once you have your pups, you should be able to hold him."

Jimin huffed, "Once I have mine, I'll have two to deal with. I want to snuggle with him now."

Kat went to pick him up from Jungkook, who whined about as much as his mate usually does. "I just got us both to sleep; go away."

"Kook, he needs to eat. You will have to feed him if you don't give him back."

His eyes popped open, "I can do that."

Tae jumped and ran to the kitchen, "I'll make his bottle. Just give me a few."

Kat sat down at the table, and Mandy slid her a root beer; as soon as Jungkook flipped him over to hold him in his arms, just waiting for the bottle, Landon started wailing again at the top of his lungs. "Look, I'll fully admit that I don't know shit about kids, let alone babies. I have zero maternal instincts, but even I know that that's not normal."

A long sigh left Kat's lips. "I don't know what's wrong. He's only happy when he's lying on our chests and can smell us. But what if that's a wolf thing? Maybe it's normal. It's not like I know anyone even to ask."

"It's times like this that I wish we had parents we could go to."

The Beta looked at her best friend, "Same. Too bad we can't Google it."

Kris walked in and frowned at the crying pup, who was giving Jungkook hell by turning his head in any direction other than where the bottle was being held. Tae started to tear up, "Did I make his bottle wrong? I followed what Kat told me to do. How can I care for my pups if I can't even make a bottle?"

He was starting to panic, which sent everyone into a spiral. Kris ran over to Tae and wrapped her arms around him. "Tae, it's not you." She shifted them around so she could look at Kat but still hold onto Tae. "I think it's the formula. Let's try out some different ones and see if he has that reaction with them."

Her mouth dropped open, and she looked at Mandy with a silly look on her face: "Could it seriously be that easy? Are we really that dumb?"

The Alpha shrugged her shoulders. "Well, if it is that easy, then let's stop being dumb and fix it. Do you want to make a Target run?"

Kat looked down at her clothes, Hobi's shorts and shirt covered in spit-up, and God knew what else. Her hair was messy, so let's not talk about how long it's been since she showered. "Umm, I need a hazmat shower before being seen in public." She was picking at the shirt and wrinkling her nose in disgust, "But Hobi is on his way home soon; send him a text and tell him to pick up one of each kind, and we'll go from there."

It turns out Landon needs some super sensitive formula, and once he got that, the screaming stopped. He still preferred to snuggle on their chests for his naps, but the screaming had stopped. As long as there are no humans around, that is. 

"Jimin, are you okay?"

"No," he panted. Jimin was lying in his nest, rolling back and forth. He didn't go with Yoongi to work today because he felt terrible. So Kris has been checking on him every 30 minutes. He was sweating and panting. If his very pregnant belly weren't there, one would assume he was in heat. 

And that's when it hit her, "Jimin, I think you are in labor."

"I. I can't be. I still have a little over a month to go."

"Jimin, it's twins. It's normal for them to come early. Come on, let's get you to the clinic so we can check you out"

She tried to help him stand up, but he was in too much pain, and she wasn't strong enough to carry him. Tae was out of the question since he was pregnant, too, and Mandy was the only one left at home. Kat went with Landon to see Hobi; the pup doesn't like being away from his parents for too long. "Sissy," Kris yelled. 

Only for a very panicked Alpha to burst into the room. "What, what's wrong?"

"I think Jimin might be in labor. I want to get him to the clinic but can't carry him."

Her mouth dropped open, "oh shit, we need to call Yoongi."

"Wait," Jimin yelled before he screamed bloody murder. "Let's make sure before he breaks the speed record to get here."
