Strings of Fate

Flutters

Jimin enjoyed the small kicks his pup would wake him up with and the thumps he felt as he went about his day. It felt personal, feeling the way his baby moved inside him and only he could feel the small subtle touches. He laughed when Jungkook whined into his neck that he too wanted to feel. But just as the days went by and the movements became stronger, so did he grow. His stomach grew bigger, now showing a perfectly round curve and his hips widened slightly.

It was already starting to grow colder, the winds carrying a chilling breeze as it blew down leaves from trees in different shades of colors. Jimin couldn't stand for long periods of time before his feet felt sore. He ended up moving from the kitchens to the nursery. He sat with a few other omegas to make quilts, and knit socks for the pups. He had managed to knit a few more things than necessary for his own pup. Opting for different colored socks, and cozy hats for the winter. When he had enough with mittens and scarfs he focused on making the softest baby blue blanket. It had small white pom poms all around the edges and he was proud of his work when the other omegas preened over it.

When he showed it to Jungkook after he came to pick him up, the alpha complimented him with no end. Petting Jimin and pressing kisses along the column of his neck. He didn't say it aloud but his alpha was pleased, his omega was capable of keeping his pups warm for the coming winter. It was more of a primal reaction he was having from his wolf. The two settled into bed with the blanket after dinner, wanting their scents to cling to the blanket as much as possible.

Jimin was rubbing his cheek against Jungkook's chest when he felt it. The flutters in his stomach like a swarm of butterflies. He opened his eyes and sat up, pulling Jungkook with him and leading his hand under his thick sweater. Jungkook groggily stared at him, his eyebrows coming together in confusion. His large hand was guided by Jimin's smaller one, right under his belly button. Jungkook jumped in surprise from his half asleep state, his fingers grazing in amazement. A wide grin decorated his features as he felt the small movement under his palm, the small kicks that were barely felt. He couldn't stop the excitement from erupting as he hurried on his knees and lifted up the hem of Jimin's sweater to see his stomach, both his hands splayed right under where he could still feel the flutters of kicks.

Jimin probably had the same mirrored grin, his eyes turning into deep crescents as he watched Jungkook lose himself in the touch and subtle whispers as he nuzzled into his belly button. The two ended up falling asleep late, Jungkook couldn't detach himself from his omega. His fingers caressing his bump and his lips spreading kisses until Jimin pushed him away from the ticklish feeling he would spread. Jimin himself couldn't bring himself to push him away too far and scold him to go to sleep. This was the first time the two of them were able to share the joy of feeling the kicks together. Yet he wasn't prepared for the morning that came.

Jungkook was awake first like always, his hands rubbing Jimin's bump enough to stir him awake. The omega was already disliking the attention, and he always clings onto his alpha for it. But this morning he just wants to sleep, stay in bed for an hour more before he has to get up and head out. Jimin groans, pushing Jungkook away and turning on his side to hide his bump from his mate so he gets the idea of leaving him alone. But Jimin underestimated the alpha who hugs onto him from behind and brings him impossibly closer.

If he was worried about Jungkook's sudden over excessive clinginess, he wasn't ready for his family cornering him after the alpha informed them he felt his pup kick. Seokjin was the first to run up to him, his smile wide and his hand reaching for his stomach. And it was like a domino effect, it seemed like a line had formed behind his omega father. All of them waited yet urging the others too hurry because they too wanted to have a chance and feel something. Jimin pouted, his omega growing restless from too many scents clouding around him. All he wanted to do now was shield away his bump and make his alpha shoo everyone away. It was the protective instincts kicking in, now that his pup had grown enough he knew it would only be a couple of months before they were born. That meant he didn't want anyone around him but his alpha. He could feel the tears brimming his eyes, his nose scrunching up and his head looking around for Jungkook.

The effect was instant, Jungkook frowned and stepped in front of him. Hyun complained about being cut off so rudely but the other ignored him. His only concern was his omega and the sudden tears falling down his cheeks. His wolf was anxious, whining in worry at seeing his mate in such a sudden state. Jimin's lips wobbled, the tip of his nose red.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"Make them go away alpha."

Jungkook inhales sharply, his wolf growling at being addressed directly by his mate. He could already feel the low rumble of a growl itching its way up and he has to pull Jimin closer to keep himself from turning and sneering at Jimin's family. The others take a few steps away, already recognizing the strain a protective alpha must feel.

"I think Jimin needs some fresh air, we'll see each other around soon." Namjoon coughs awkwardly and grabs Seokjin's hand to lead him away.

Jimin listens to the fading steps and the relief of scents in the air. He physically relaxes when all he could smell is Jungkook and he manages to stop the tears from gathering at the corner of his eyes. He feels awful for acting that way and he will apologize later but it's all new to him. He's still trying to keep his hormones from getting the worst out of him. And he is pretty sure it will get harder from now on.

Jungkook rubs the last of his tears away and kisses his cheeks. It probably worried him more than it should have. Jimin smiles and nudges him away, if he stays any longer then he won't finish any of the duties he has that day. Jungkook takes a while to leave, his eyes casting over Jimin as he walks away after deeming it was okay for him to leave.
