Hybrid

Ohm kept his promise. He bought nanon's parents into their apartment to live with them till nanon gives birth. Nanon felt a lot easier now that he had his mom and dad and ohm's family with him. All of them decided to stay with ohmnanon before nanon's operation.

Nanon could feel his tummy hurting from time to time when his kids were kicking or moving. In a week he couldn't walk properly. He could feel his body getting weaker.

"mom... It will be alright right?" nanon caressed his tummy as he felt his baby kick. Ohm was preparing nanon's bath and heard nanon say it. He didn't let his mom answer. Instead, he felt like he should answer it.

"of course, you will be. You are a warrior you know? You are society's ruler. You know why right? You fought for the whole society all alone. Be positive " ohm sat down beside nanon and lifted him. Nanon took a sharp breath and hugged ohm to balance himself. Nanon's mom was praying for her son to deliver the babies safely. Her son looked sick and she didn't like it. Ohm did a good job taking care of nanon even though he was nervous. He had his newly created company waiting for him but he decided to stay beside his lover. Nanon gets anxious whenever ohm isn't around him. Maybe it's because he thinks ohm can fix anything and everything for him so he needs ohm with him all the time.

Ohm bought nanon back to his bed after washing him. Nanon's eyes were closed. His mom kissed his head and started singing him to sleep.

"ma... Can I turn into my cat form?" turning into cat form is like a healing process for hybrids. Nanon wanted to relax a bit. Even though he couldn't move in his cat form anymore because of his bump. His bump was too big.

"sure non. Relax for a bit but don't stay in your cat form for too long okay? You need to eat. "

"hmm... I'll just take a nap. " nanon's mom took her hand off of nanon to let him transform. As soon as he transformed ohm gasped. He hasn't seen his meow in his cat form since pregnancy. Nanon felt shy so he never came in front of ohm like that. Ohm noticed how big nanon's belly was in his cat form. The babies moving could be seen more clearly like this. Nanon stared at ohm as if asking him if he looked weird.

"Can I touch your belly meow? I wanna feel my babies... Do they turn into their cat forms too when you turn into your cat form?"

"yes" ohm heard nanon meow and he knew his meow was permitting him and answering his question at the same time. Ohm touched nanon's belly slowly and nanon shifted into a comfortable position to fall asleep. Ohm's hand on his belly felt like an ice pack as his temperature was higher than his. Nanon's dad thought of explaining a bit more and nanon's mom was busy folding nanon's clothes.

"yes. When the mother turns into cat form their babies also turn into their cat form. It's therapeutic for both of them." ohm put his head beside nanon and caressed his fur. Nanon was purring while sleeping. Love came into the room and sat beside ohm.

"p'ohm. You never told us nanon was the cat you brought home that day. "

"well... He got lost in the forest and I saved him that day. He was really scared of a guy named scar face... That's a story for another day. He turned into his human form one day and I decided to introduce him to you guys as my friend. I had to find an excuse so I said meow ran away but... He didn't" ohm giggled thinking back on how far they came.

"um... So that's why you call him meow"

"yeah... Remember I named him meow because I suck at naming things? Haha... I still call him meow because even though he is not a cat... His cat behaviour is always peaking through" loved laughed with ohm. She knew exactly what ohm was talking about. Nanon would kiss ohm and touch ohm all over the place but when ohm tries to return the affection he would get a slap on his hand.

"I knew your meow who understood your human words wasn't a wild cat the first time I saw him." Ohm's dad joined in the conversation. Mom gasped and slapped dad's arm.

"I threw him out once! You should've told me!" ohm chuckled at his crazy family. His life got better after nanon came. No more depression, no more suicidal thoughts, no more loneliness, no more unhappiness. His life was full of colours now.

"meow... Be strong na?"

"ma he will be fine right?" ohm said as nanon went into the delivery room. Nanon acted really strong. He was smiling and joking all the time. But can you be strong at this moment? Nanon could barely move when he went inside the room. Ohm sat down in the waiting area. Head hung low. Praying his babies and nanon will be okay. Nanon said he will be fine because he knows ohm won't be able to live without him. All the doubts he had of ohm distancing himself from him got proved wrong when ohm started taking care of nanon forgetting about every work he had. His company called and his excuse was "my pregnant partner needs me." Nanon knew ohm still loved him like the first day.

Nanon's mom tried to stay strong but ended up crying. Ohm felt a lump in his throat. He swore to never ever be careless about sex. Only if he was in his right mind at the right time. Ohm started thinking back on his life. How he was not able to find a job but got one as soon as nanon came into his life. How he freaked out when he learn nanon was his cat meow. how he fell for nanon. How he had to be at the hospital because of nanon's cousins. How he searched for nanon like a madman and how he found nanon again. He won't be able to stop talking if he talks about nanon and the memories they made. Nanon turned 21 and he turned 26 this year. It's a big age gap but nanon is still more mature. Who knew he would fall in love with the cat he bought at home?
