My winter treasure

Chapter 15.

After a difficult night at the hospital, I was a little desperate to leave, anxiously waiting for Dr. Albert to tell me the results of my tests.

"I will be clear with both of us" Said the doctor in a serious way when we were in his office: "We saved the puppy this time, but the pregnancy is at risk because of Mr. Nicholas' weight. I think I told you Mr. Gold, but your omega has to gain weight urgently, or you could lose the puppy."

"We tried to follow your instructions doctor, but Nick is still vomiting even with the diet and the pills you gave him" Theo tries to explain.

"There are no excuses, Nick, you have to eat and you can't vomit anymore" The doctor now stares at me as he speaks: "I'm going to prioritize your puppy, so you have one week to gain 7 kilograms. If you don't gain weight before New Year's, I'm going to keep you in here and feed you through a tube, do you know what a tube is?"

Somewhat startled by how bad that sounds, I hold on a little tightly to Theo's hand, shaking my head.

"A probe is a plastic tube that I will put through your nose into your stomach and force you to eat. No more stress, no more vomiting, follow the diet and take your meds. You have one week Nick" The doctor threatens me, looking very serious as he says those words.

That sounds like a scary and very painful thing to do, so I quickly nod my head. I'm willing to do anything for my puppy, so even if it hurts, I'll let him stick that plastic tube all the way down to my stomach if I can't gain weight.

This is the limit, I will never throw up again, I'm starting to psych myself up to get it.

"Now I will do a last check-up to discharge you, Mr. Gold, if you would be so kind as to lay you on the stretcher..." The doctor asks in a slightly calmer tone of voice.

Theo calmly complies, taking me in his arms to lift me onto the office gurney, while the doctor takes his medical instruments and begins to check my body as usual.

Theo stays by my side, but we are both interrupted when a person peeks out from the door, someone I recognize as an alpha by his pheromones. Somewhat startled I shrink back on the gurney, but I soon recognize that alpha as one of Theo's employees, so I'm somewhat confused.

"Mr. Gold, we have a problem" Says that alpha, speaking to Theo.

"Nick, are you okay if I leave you here for a second with the doctor?" Theo asks me calmly.

"Yes, you can go..." I answer in a whisper.

"Stay here, I'll be back in a minute, don't be afraid."

Theo kisses my forehead before standing up and walking to the door, meeting his employee and talking to him in whispers before leaving. As they open the door again to leave, I can feel pheromones from omega, from that omega... The blonde girl who is supposedly Theo's sister, her all the way out there.

What is happening?

"Although it's a little uncomfortable... I wanted to tell you that there is no problem with having sex in your condition" The doctor suddenly tells me.

"What?" I asked a little shyly.

"It must be important for Mr. Gold to have sex with his omega partner, so I wanted to make it clear to you that you don't have to hold back because of your current state of health, you can have a normal life as an omega with your alpha even if you have to gain weight."

"Is it important to Theo?" I ask a bit confused, since my alpha so far has not shown much interest in having sex with me, in fact... Sometimes he seems to avoid it.

"Yes, it is a common event that alphas feel a little more... attracted to their omega partners when they are pregnant, it is an effect of pheromones."

Theo is more attracted to me? I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I don't really notice it, maybe it's because my puppy is not his son?
