Mending the Mechanic's Heart

Disturbance

Sailub paced the nursery, his heart racing with anticipation for the arrival of their newest family member. Pon was due any moment now, and the weight of that knowledge pressed against his chest. The past months had been a whirlwind, filled with the roller coaster of emotions that came with caring for an omega in pregnancy. Every day brought new challenges, but it also deepened Sailub's love and admiration for Pon.

The nursery was a warm, inviting space filled with soft neutral colors, a design choice that reflected their decision to keep the baby's gender a surprise. Sailub had spent countless evenings assembling furniture and decorating the room, ensuring everything was perfect for when the baby finally arrived. The crib stood ready, adorned with cozy blankets and plush toys that awaited their new occupant.

As Sailub glanced over at the crib, he couldn't help but smile at the thought of the chaos and joy that would soon fill their lives again. Just then, a small voice broke through his thoughts.

"Dada!" Aon exclaimed, tugging at Sailub's pant leg with an enthusiastic grin plastered on his face. The little pup had been a tremendous help, diligently cleaning up the nursery as best as his tiny hands could manage.

"Hey, little buddy," Sailub replied, kneeling down to Aon's level. "Are you ready for your big brother duties?"

"Yup!" Aon bounced on his toes, his excitement infectious. "I'm gonna help take care of the baby!"

Sailub's heart swelled with pride as he watched Aon's enthusiasm. It was amazing how eager the young pup was to embrace his new role. He felt a surge of warmth as he thought about the bond the siblings would share.

"That's right, Aon! You're going to be the best big brother ever," Sailub said, ruffling the pup's hair affectionately. "But first, how about we take a little break and get some ice cream? What do you say?"

"Yay!" Aon squealed, jumping up and down with glee. "Ice cream! Can we get chocolate?"

"Of course, buddy! Let's keep it quick; I want to leave a note for your mama while he's sleeping."

As they quietly tiptoed out of the nursery, Sailub took a moment to glance back at Pon, who was blissfully asleep, his body cradled comfortably in their shared bed. The sight of his omega, peaceful and radiant, made Sailub's heart ache with love. He carefully placed a small note on the nightstand: Gone for ice cream with Aon! Be back soon!

With that, he led Aon out the front door, the little boy's hand tightly grasping his as they made their way to the nearby park. The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow over everything.

When they arrived at the ice cream shop, Sailub watched Aon's eyes widen in delight at the colorful display of flavors. The pup practically bounced on his feet as they approached the counter.

"Dada! Look at all the choices!" Aon exclaimed, pointing excitedly at each flavor.

"I know! You can pick two scoops. What do you want?" Sailub asked, knowing full well Aon would choose something fun and adventurous.

"Chocolate and rainbow!" Aon shouted, a wide grin spreading across his face.

"Great choice!" Sailub ordered their treats, and a few moments later, they were sitting at a small picnic table, ice cream in hand.

As Aon dug into his chocolate cone, Sailub couldn't help but admire the way the pup savored every bite. The little boy licked at the ice cream with determination, his face lighting up with every taste.

"I can't wait to show the baby my ice cream!" Aon exclaimed, his voice muffled by the cone.

"Yeah? You're going to share with your little brother or sister?" Sailub asked, a chuckle escaping his lips.
