"That too, I know. But we still need to talk, like.. Have you told your parents yet?"
And Minho couldn't help but frown when the omega in his arms visibly tensed.
Of course it was a sensitive topic but the panther hybrid didn't know how extremely sensitive it was for Jisung.
"N-no.."
"That's okay, sweet one. It wasn't an expectation, I just wanted to know. Would you feel more comfortable if I told my dad first?"
But the little omega only peeked out of his blanket bundle, tilting his head softly.
"What about your mom?"
And Minho could only sigh and boop the little squirrel's nose gently.
"My mother passed away when I was very young. It's just me and my dad."
"Oh, I'm sorry.."
"It's okay, little one. I'm just sad that.. Ah, never mind."
The ravenette tried to give Jisung the most reassuring smile he could manage, ignoring the stinging in his heart.
His mother would never know that she'd become a grandma soon.
She'd never get the chance to hold her tiny grandchild.
And the little squirrel knew better than to push the alpha, he could barely imagine how hard it must have been to lose his mother so early.
So instead he only tucked his head under Minho's chin and nuzzled his nose against the older's collar bone.
He didn't quite care what their relationship was and how they should label it, he was just glad to be in the alpha's arms and that he didn't have morning sickness for the first time in weeks.
"The baby is fourteen weeks old already."
He suddenly stated as he slipped his hand under his shirt to palm his little baby bump.
"Already? Then I guess we should really have a talk. I mean, you can't raise the baby in the dorm but would you feel comfortable enough to share an apartment with me? I.. I want to help you with raising the baby but if you don't want me to-"
"I want you to! I.. I need you, I can't do this alone.."
"Okay. But.. What about Dongwoon? Is he still your boyfriend?"
And Minho could only sigh and press a little kiss between Jisung's tiny furry ears when the young omega didn't answer.
"C-can you help me end it with him?"
"I will, of course. But we should do it when we've found a new place, I'm not sure if I can share a dorm with him after he learnt that I got his boyfriend pregnant while he was in the US. Also for your protection we should tell him soon before this little one gets bigger and more obvious."
The alpha chuckled softly as he gently poked Jisung's little baby bump, making the small squirrel boy giggle.
"I don't want him to hurt you."
Another heavy sigh left Minho but the small omega only cuddled closer, nuzzled his face against the older's chest and placed the ravenette's hand on his tummy for some tummy rubs.
All those weeks he had been dying to get some tummy rubs from his alpha, the baby was craving their daddy's affection too.
Sure, there was still so much to do and Jisung was more than scared to tell his parents and to end things with Dongwoon but right now all he knew was that he felt so safe in Minho's arms.
It made every part of his body tingle when the alpha would give him little kisses on the head.
As long as he was embraced by the calming scent of rain and pine, it was hard to worry.
"Jisungie?"
"Hm?"
"You.. You actually want the baby, right?"
"Of course! It's our baby, right?"
"Right, sweet one."
The last time Minho had held the little squirrel like this, he wouldn't have thought that they'd end up like this again with a tiny baby between them, growing safely under Jisung's heart.
In fact back then he hadn't even been sure if he'd ever see the omega again after his heat.
"Minho?"
"Yes?"
"Can I call you Minmin?"
"Anything you want, sweet one."
And the small omega only sighed happily as he snuggled closer, throwing his fluffy tail over the older's waist.
It was safe to say that Jisung was extremely snuggle-deprived and in desperate need of Minho's presence.
Partly because of the baby, the pregnancy naturally made him crave for the alpha's presence but it was also simply because the panther hybrid made Jisung feel so unbelievably safe.
He had never met someone who had made him feel so important.
Maybe that was the reason why he was so scared to tell his parents about the baby.
They didn't care about him but they'd care way too much that Minho was a carnivore hybrid.
And there was nothing that'd change their opinions.
