"Beautiful" (Omegaverse Michael x Noah)

~33~ "Jealousy"

~Noah~
Michael insisted we go shopping for the baby today, even if I told him we could just shop online so he didn't have to walk around a mall for so long, he seemed very excited to get out of the house. And I physically could not say no to him even if I tried.
Still, I watched him very closely to make sure he wasn't overwhelming himself. I have to admit though, baby stores are kind of fun, they're bright and colourful in a way that somehow lifts up my mood.

"Do we have a room for the nursery? You said you were gonna deal with getting that sorted." Michael tilted his head up at me as we stood in a store by a rack of baby clothes.

"Don't worry your pretty head about it, I got everything sorted." I leaned over and lightly grabbed his chin, pecking him on the lips. "Okay- if you're sure." He stumbled,

"I've got a room set for the baby, it's just across from us."

"Okay." He let out a breath of relief that had probably been pent up for a long time.

"Don't stress about it, just trust me, everything will be okay."

"I know, I just feel bad because if I'm having a c-section you're gonna have to take care of the baby practically alone for like 16 weeks—" He took a quick and panicked breath.

"It's our kid, I'm supposed to take care of it too." I chuckled, ruffling his hair. "Stop worrying so much, let's just focus on shopping now hm?"

He nodded, taking a deep breath and letting a least a bit of his anxieties slip away as he went back to shopping.

"Can I help you two with anything?" A woman in her late twenties walked up to us, she had seriously long brunette hair that went down to like her fricken hips, and she was wearing blue, loosely fitted jeans with a tank top, which surprised me because it was like -15 outside today.

"We're okay, thank you." Michael said before I got a chance to respond, I picked up her scent through the air, a beta. I smiled politely.

"Are you two mates? It's not often I see alphas in this store. Typically just omegas."

"Yeah we're mates." I placed my hands in my pockets, Michael grabbed my arm, suddenly scenting me by nuzzling against me.

"Well, it's very nice of you to help out."

I mean- not really, it's kind of the least I can do since Michael's literally carrying an entire human being.

"Hold onto this one, wouldn't want someone to steal him away." The woman looked down at Michael, who glared back at her, stepping front of me.

"I don't think I have to worry about that." He crossed his arms, passive aggressively smiling.

"You never know, he might find someone else."

"I think I do know, because if he did I'd beat the shit out of whoever it was." Michael growled, baring his teeth in a threat as his tail whipped back and forth slowly.

"Hm. Well, I'm just saying be careful." The woman stood upright, snarling at Michael.

"I'm just saying back the fuck off before I break your teeth in." He took a step forward, the woman did the same, they both glared like the slightest twig snap would make them kill each other. I awkwardly stood behind them, not really sure what I should do.

"You couldn't hurt me if you had a gun and I pulled the trigger."

"I most definitely could."
