Try Again (JiKook)

Seventeen

"Alpha and Omega Jeon," the doctor's frown was immediate once he took a seat.
"Hello," Jimin lightly smiled as he readjusted Jae Hyun on his lap.
"I take it that your condition has not improved, so what's happening?"
"The mood swings started," Jimin frowned and glanced at Jungkook.
The alpha had been extremely upset since they left the house this morning. He hadn't been mad enough to scream at Jae the way Jimin expected when the pup wouldn't stop crying, but it was obvious the unneeded sounds of distress upset him.
"I see...I take it he isn't always so hostile," the doc lightly smiled at Jimin.
"No, not usually. He's been upset since we left home though. Although, yesterday he was begging me to get his appointment forwarded to this morning."
"Alpha Jeon, what is it exactly that has made you so angry?"
"Jae Hyun was crying," he grumbled, his eyes flicking to their pup.
"Did the pup's crying annoy you?"
"No," Jungkook scoffed, "It was the terrible Omega who did nothing useful to calm the pup."
Jimin bit his lip and looked to the floor. He had tried to calm Jae, but the pup seemed to want Jungkook. It wasn't until Jimin draped his alpha's jacket over the carrier that Jae calmed down.
"Jimin," the alpha sat up in his seat, smelling Jimin's embarrassment and distress, and his arms immediately wrapped around his omega, "No, I-I didn't...mean it please don't cry. I'm so sorry, please don't cry."
"It's okay," Jimin sniffled, hating how his voice crackled and faded.
The Alpha nuzzled into Jimin's neck, letting his left hand fall to Jae Hyun's stomach, "I didn't mean it."
"I know," Jimin whispered, putting on a smile as Jungkook pecked his forehead.
"Were you this angry yesterday morning?," the doctor pulled out his pen and grabbed a sticky note from beside the cup of pencils on the counter in the corner.
"No, I...," Jungkook stared at Jae Hyun for few minutes, then sighed, "I don't know why, but it's worse. It's worse today."
Jimin pressed his nose into Jungkook's cheek, closing his eyes and scenting him.
Jungkook blushed, but kept his eyes on his pup.
"So you've been irritable in the mornings, overwhelmed at night. What about...mm...say around noon? How is your mood then? Typically?"
"Now it's...I guess, I'm...depressed around the middle of the day. I'm always away from," Jung stopped here and looked to Jimin, "from my family."
"You've still been going to work?"
"Yeah," Kook looked to the doctor.
"I see...are your coworkers primarily Alpha?"
"The field workers and people I ride with, yeah."
"Well, there's a big part of your problem," the doc chuckled, "Being around all those Alphas while you're craving your Omega tells your wolf that the Alphas around you are after you Omega."
"Well, yeah," Jimin smiled, "That's basic education. Everyone knows that."
Jungkook's head fell and he turned away from his family.
"Not Alphas that we, in the medical field, call a Blacklisted Alpha."
"Black...listed...are those Alphas like mine?," Jimin pressed his hand to Jungkook's knee.
"Yes. Alphas with low or no sperm counts."
"Broken," Jungkook muttered, turning away from his family and staring at his hands.
Jimin frowned and reached up to card his fingers through Jungkook's hair.
"Before your last visit, were you intimate a lot after your pup was born?"
Jimin glanced at the doctor and nodded, more worried about Jungkook than answering silly questions.
"Alpha Jeon, how long were your previous ruts?"
Jungkook lifted his head at this and shrugged, "Usually around five-six days."
"Mm...pretty normal...well, here's what I suggest. You should find someone willing to care for your pup for a long while...and take off work for at least a month."
"A month?," Kook raised his eyebrows, "But...if I don't work, then we won't have money and Jae-"
"We'll be okay," Jimin quietly whispered, "Before anything else, you need to be healthy and happy. That's all we really need, okay?"
"I," Kook dropped his mouth open, staring at Jimin's pleading eyes before he calmly nodded.
Jimin smiled sadly and swept his hand across his alpha's cheek and chin.
"Stress is also a factor," the doctor chimed back in, "Work and a pup can sometimes cause such a buildup that alphas with your condition cannot find...for lack of better words, release and relaxation."
Jimin's hand fell to Jae Hyun's stomach and Jungkook reached over, placing his hand on the omega's knee.
"And what if...not even the month off is enough time?," Jimin's brow furrowed, "Should we come back?"
"To be on the safe side, I would recommend it, yes."
The couple exchanged a worried glance then turned to Jae Hyun, who was so nice to have kept quiet this whole time.

Jimin pushed the button next to the CD port, turning off the radio they had on earlier.
Jungkook was strapping Jae's carseat in the back seat, which gave Jimin time to think of how he wanted to phrase his next statement.
But, all too soon, Jungkook was slipping behind the wheel and buckling himself in.
Jimin quickly reached over and grabbed his hand, making his alpha look at him before he said, "You're not broken."
The younger's shoulders fell and he squeezed Jimin's fingers before bringing them to his lips and kissing each one.
"Please don't ever say that again."
"I won't," Kook shook his head and smiled at his omega, "Love you."
"Love you too," Jimin sniffled and leaned over the console, locking his lips with his alpha's.
The taller relaxed a bit, muscles softening as he breathed in and was only able to smell Jimin.
Jimin pulled away slowly, going back for a few pecks, then settled in his seat.
"Seat belt baby," Jung reminded him.
Jimin quickly let go of his Alpha's hand, which gave Jungkook time to start the car and put it in reverse.
Then Jimin was whining at his side, seat belt on and hand laying on the console.
"One minute sweetie," Kook smiled to himself, pulling out of the parking spot then putting the truck in drive.
As soon as Jungkook got to the doctor's office parking lot exit, he reached over and laced his fingers with Jimin's.
"I hate to ask Seokjin hyung to babysit again."
Kook glanced at his omega, then silently agreed.
"But we don't really know anyone else who can take care of a pup full time."
"For a month," Jungkook sighed, then his expression changed into an uncertain one, "What about...my parents?"
"What about them?"
"Well...they haven't even got to meet Jae yet, so what better time for them to keep him?"
Jimin dropped his head then turned to the window, "Would they be alright with it?"
"I'd hope so, this is their grandchild. They better love him, because I sure do."
Jimin laughed at that, shaking his head as he poked his teeth with his tongue.
"What's so funny about that?," Kook smiled.
"You say that about everyone when it comes to Jae."
"Because it's true," Jung shrugged, "I want everyone to love our pup."
Jimin paused for few beats, then smiled, "So your parents?"

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Jeon," Jimin bowed respectively as Jungkook's parents entered their home.
Both of Jungkook's parents were alphas, and they had power rolling off them. The fact that even Mrs. Jeon was taller than the omega made him feel even more intimidated.
In a second, Jungkook appeared at his side, wrapping an arm around his omega and kissing Jimin's cheek.
"Hey momma, hi dad," Kook smiled, "This is my omega, Jimin."
"Nice to meet you," Jung's mother smiled softly as his father simply nodded.
Jimin nodded politely, smiling as best as his nerves would allow.
Just then, a small cry filtered through the baby monitor that was tucked into Jungkook's back pocket.
"I got him," Jimin pressed his hand to Jungkook's chest then hurried up the stairs to their pup's room.
"Sorry, Jae's been grumpy all morning. No matter what we do he won't stay happy for long."
"I thought omegas were good with pups," his mother remarks.
Jungkook deflated, knowing what this was all about; why they were so stoic.
"He wasn't just your house omega, was he?," his father asked lowly, eyes piercing and muscles tense.
"Jimin is my omega," Jungkook narrowed his eyes, "I know you want to keep the family purebred, but that's not happening with me. I love Jimin and I love my pup. I need your help while I'm on medical leave, so tell me now if you'll help."
His mother sighed and looked to her husband.
His father frowned, "What makes this omega special?"
"He's mine," Jungkook answered quickly.
"Are we for sure this pup is yours?," his mother raised an eyebrow, "You know how needy omegas can get."
"Jae Hyun is my pup. Jimin is my omega. If you won't help me when I need you most, I'll ask someone else."
His father laughed and looked away, shaking his head.
Jungkook's mother lightly pat her mate's arm then took a deep breath, "Jungkook, you have no one else. The moment you decided to announce your...obsession...with omegas, you were denied everything. That's your family and you know this. Why you defy us, we'll never know nor respect."
"Excuse me," Jimin's tone was harsh as he padded down the last few steps and moved to stand in front of Jungkook, "I'd like it if you left our home."
"What?"
"Please leave," Jimin made his eyes stern, unwavering as he bore holes into Mrs. Jeons forehead.
"We are your alpha's guests. You would do well to learn your place."
"You would do well to understand I've been through some shit and I don't take bull from people who upset me."
"Jungkook, control your omega," his mother commanded.
The youngest alpha stepped forward and placed his hands on Jimin's shoulders, "Jimin's right, Momma. I'd hate for him to lash out at you when you've only just met. You should go."
His father quickly exited the house, having no problem leaving the foolishness behind him.
Jung's mother, however, sighed before she said, "Come home once you've gained your senses. We miss you."
Jimin sighed, kicking the door shut before relaxing into Jungkook's arms.
"I guess we'll call Joon hyung."
"We don't have another choice," Jimin exhaled, "I guess we can ask them Sunday."
