The Unwanted Bond

This is all your fault.

Parker's POV:

I shut my laptop with a groan and pushed the heels of my palms into my eyes. I was supposed to be doing school work but I was spiraling. Especially after my research. I had just deep dived the internet for Male Omega Pregnancies so I could learn what I never did in high school. Now after reading the horror stories and about what my body is actually going to go through I was terrified.

I didn't have a choice seeing as how I was over half way through my pregnancy anyways. I looked down to my stomach that had really popped and you could easily tell I was pregnant. I had gotten big enough that I had had to go up another size in clothes. Officially, I had gone up three sizes in pants since before I had gotten pregnant and two sizes in shirts to fit over my bump. I felt really unattractive and emotional right now. I was trying to keep the tears from falling because I didn't want Ryan to feel my emotions. My breath hitched as I tried to calm myself down and I reached for my phone.

"Hey, you ready for some lu-" Chris cut himself off. "What's wrong, Buddy?"

He came into the room with David and Matt following behind him. I shook my head and wiped my eyes. Blinking rapidly to try to get rid of the tears.

"I'm fine."

"You're in here crying, you're not fine."

"No, I am. I just freaked myself out a bit."

Chris took a seat next to me. "What do you mean?"

"I didn't... know how a male pregnancy works. So I looked it up because I was embarrassed and didn't want to ask anyone about it and now I know that somehow in the next couple of weeks I am going to miraculously have an extra opening as well as Male Omegas specifically seem to have some sort of complication with "Natural" births. And considering that I didn't have wide hips in the first place, it makes me a little nervous. And I feel so fat right now. Even with having bought bigger clothes they don't lay right and I'm very uncomfortable."

"Thank you for telling me. It's normal to get nervous about the birth but you still have some time and you and Margo and Ryan can come up with a birth plan that works for you."

I went to answer when Ryan, Carter, and Carla came running into the room.

"What's wrong?" Ryan asked, looking panicked.

I groaned and covered my face in embarrassment. "Go away." I mumbled.

Chris chuckled. "Everything's good, Ry. Just a little overwhelmed."

I could feel Ryan get closer and he crouched down next to me.

"That true?" He asked softly.

I nodded and peaked at him. "Everything is just a lot right now and I did some research and freaked myself out. I'm fine."

"Research on what?"

"Male pregnancies." I mumbled avoiding eye contact.

From the corner of my eye I could see understanding dawn on their faces.

"Ah. Okay. I just got hit with your emotions and knew you were here so wanted to come check. Ended training early. I don't know about you, but I am hungry and I'm going to get some lunch. Would you like to join us?"

"Not like I really have a choice."

"You have a choice of where you would like to go to eat. Eating is non negotiable."

"I wasn't saying I wasn't going to eat. I was talking about eating with everyone."

"You always have a choice of where you need to eat."
