Chapter 2

Dex's POV.

Click, cliiiiick, TING! I sighed as I set the device down. If only Fitz could get here sooner...

Oh, yeah, I finally managed to say something to him today. Asking him to come over was step one of my plan I had started.

About two weeks ago, I had sex with Fitz. He told me it was to get back at Sophie, and well, I find Fitz really hot, so of course I said yes. But, lately, I haven't been feeling the greatest in the morning. Just the mornings. I started to get suspicious about my health. I am an Omega, after all. Fitz is an Alpha. This means that if we took it too far, I could get pregnant.

And guess what... we took it too far! Yep! I'm pregnant! I just don't know how to tell him that. Did I tell my parents? My mom, yes. My dad, no. The triplets, also no.

There was a knock on my door.

"Come in!" I called. The door creaked as it opened and in stepped Fitz.

"Hey," Fitz said to me as he shut the door behind him. "You needed help with some gadgets?"

"Yeah. This one is really giving me a headache," I told him as he sat down in front of me. It was the truth. The gadget that I was working on was giving me a headache. Fitz examined the pieces of metal on the table.

"So, what do you need help with?" he asked as he took off his cape. His brown hair laid perfectly on his head.

"I need to hold this gear down while I fix this piece," I mumbled as I showed him the gear he needed to hold down.

"So, how long have you been working on this?" Fitz asked after a while.

"Hmm, about three weeks," I replied.

"I can see why. Looking at all those little gears and screws. Is it just one of the little things you work on in your free time?" he asked. I nodded as I screwed a screw into place. After the screw was in place, I tapped Fitz's hand to let him know he could let go of the gear.

"Is it done?" Fitz asked.

"We'll see," I answered as I pushed a switch down on the side of the gadget. The lid of it popped open, and it started to wirr. Both of us stared intently at the box as gears started to spin.

"What's supposed to happen?" Fitz asked after I sighed and shut the lid of the gadget.

"It- it doesn't matter. It won't work," I said as I got up and walked to my balcony. The cold air nipped at my face as I gripped the sides of my shirt.

"You seemed worked up. Wanna talk?" Fitz questioned as he walked over to me. I took a breath of icy air. Should I tell him? I thought to myself. I looked down at the snowy ground below.

"Fitz, I- I have something I need to tell you. I don't know if you will like it. But, uhm..." I managed to say before I couldn't bring myself say anymore.

"What? What is it?" Fitz pressed. He reached out and grabbed my forarms reassuringly. I opened my mouth to speak, but I couldn't muster the confidence to tell him. I looked him in his eyes and felt hot tears threatening to flow over. What if he hates me after? What if he doesn't want to help me? What if...

"Dex, just tell me what it is. I won't get mad, just please. You're worrying me," Fitz told me. I looked away from his blue eyes.

"Dex..." he started.

"Fitz, I'm- I'm pregnant. I didn't know how to tell you, but I didn't want to tell you like this. I don't know what you want, but..." I blurted, but the feeling of warms hands on my face stopped me from rambling on. I looked up at Fitz. He was holding my face and staring at me.

"Hey... there's no need to be scared. I'm right here, and I'm not going anywhere," Fitz reassured me. He smiled a warm smile and pulled me into a hug. I felt the hot tears that were threatening to overflow earlier go over. I started to sob in Fitz's arm. I was tired. So, so tired. I felt overworked. I felt my knees start to tremble and give out. Fitz didn't mind. He went down with me. He held me close and tight, yet gentle. Like he wasn't going to let me go. I liked that. I wanted that. After all my tears were gone, I laid there in Fitz's arms.

PING!

A soft melodic tune started to play from inside of my room. Fitz and I both turned our heads to look and see what it was. It was the gadget we were fixing. It was working! I pulled away from Fitz and slowly stood up. Fitz did the same.

"It's wonderful, Dex. What's it called?" Fitz asked me as we walked over to the gadget. I looked at the device.

"It doesn't have a name. What do you think?" I asked him, wiping away some leftover tears from my eyes. Fitz looked at the box.

"Hmm, how about... a Music Box?" Fitz inquired. I smiled at him.

"That sounds great," I answered.

Fitz wrapped his arm around my shoulder and smiled.

"A Music Box... I like that," I whispered as I crossed my arms. I picked the music box up and handed it to Fitz.

"For you," I told him. Fitz looked shocked.

"I can't possibly! You made it!" Fitz tried, but I wasn't taking it.

"Nope, you named it and helped me fix it. Therefore, you deserve it. Plus, I can always make another one for myself," I stated as I pushed the box into his hands as he looked at me with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Oh, Dex... wait, how'd we stray from you telling me you're pregnant to this?" Fitz asked with a slight chuckle. I laughed.

"How about we talk about that later, okay? I get the feeling we both need to rest and think about this," I announced. Fitz smirked as he set the box down next to his cape and jumped on my bed.

"Hey!" I shouted at him. He laughed at me and patted the open space next to him on the bed, signaling he wanted me to sit next to him. I did as he wanted and sat next to him. He was smiling at me as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder again and pulled me close.

"I think being pregnant is already changing you, Dex. You seem gentler and calmer," Fitz stated as he pulled up the covers on my bed and wrapped them around us. I enjoyed the comfortable feeling of having Fitz close to me.

"So... do you wanna sleep or talk?" Fitz asked after a bit of silence. I hesitated. I was extremely tired but I wanted to spend more time with Fitz. But, I could feel my eyes start to close and before I could say anything. I was asleep.
