Alpha and Omega

38

I know I keep doing time skips, but I want Peyton home already cuz idk how it works in the hospital.

I'm apologizing cuz someone (Weallshipstuff ) thinks that 15 weeks is too much time to skip and it's unrealistic but being born 7 months early isn't.

After a little less than 15 weeks, Peyton is finally home and healthy as ever, as she now weighs 6 pounds, 10 ounces instead of the 1 pound, 8 ounces she was when she was born.

Mitch walks into the kitchen to see Scott, shirtless, singing quietly while making Peyton a bottle with one hand as he holds her in his other arm. Mitch watches his boyfriend and daughter in the doorway with a fond smile on his face. Scott switches to a different song and Peyton starts babbling at him, making him smile.

"You like that one? Momma likes it too, it helps him stop worrying so much."

"It's a soothing song." Mitch points out, walking closer to them.

"How long have you been standing there?"

"Not too long. Do you need help?"

"A little. Child or bottle?" Mitch sees Peyton playing with the dog tags on Scott's neck and chooses to make the bottle so he doesn't disturb the content baby.

"Oh, Alpha, do you remember those rings we got my first time at the beach? Yours matches my Omega eyes and mine matches your Alpha eyes."

"Yeah, I remember those, why?" Mitch pulls the rings out from his back pocket and hands the blue one to Scott.

"Where did you find them?"

"I was looking for the TV remote in our room and they were in the nightstand. I guess they fell out of the drawer and onto the bottom."

"They can be our promise rings." Scott suggests, sliding it onto his finger.

"Promise for what?"

"That someday we'll get married and we'll always love each other."

"I love that." Mitch pecks Scott's lips and hands him the bottle for Peyton. They go into the living room to watch TV with Kirstie and Avi.

"Why do you never have a shirt on?" Avi asks Scott.

"Consider yourself lucky, dragon dude. You get to see all this, I'm pretty hot."

"Ah, yes. Watching a big, shirtless Alpha holding and feeding his baby is my biggest dream, thank you for making it come true."

"I knew your whole 'becoming a dragon' dream was just a lie." Avi laughs and nods.

"You figured me out, Buckets, congrats." Scott and Mitch sit down on the other couch as Scott continues to feed the baby.

"I know, I'm a genius. I'm like a Beta." Mitch laughs, "Hey now, I am very smart."

"I never said you weren't, bb."

"You two are so cute it's making me sick." Avi comments, earning a glare from Scott.

"Bite me."

"I would but I'm not about that life."

"I have a mark on my neck that says otherwise." Kirstie jumps in, making everyone laugh.

"Dang, Kit. That was good." Mitch comments.

"Thanks, babe." Mitch dramatically blows a kiss.

"Mitchy, will you take her? I need a shirt—"

"No you don't, but continue." Mitch interrupts.

Scott chuckles, "I'm cold, so I do need one." Scott hands Mitch the baby and bottle and runs upstairs to grab a sweatshirt.

"Was that so hard?" He asks Mitch once he comes back.

"Yes, feeding my child is the hardest thing in the world."

"Drama queen."

"I'm very much a queen, thank you."

"Let's do something today."

"Like what?"

"I don't know, we've been home for 5 days and we still haven't done anything."

"Oooh! Let's go to the park."

"Good idea. I'll get her stroller and you put away the bottle. Meet outside in two minutes. Ready and break!" Mitch laughs as Scott gets up and runs to the garage to get the stroller. He gets up, Peyton in his arms, and goes to the kitchen to rinse the bottle while he talks to the baby as she speaks nonsense to him.

"I know, that is just what I was thinking, specifically." He tells her as she just speaks gibberish.

"Bye, Kavi." He walks out the door after they respond and he meets Scott out front. Mitch gently sets Peyton in the stroller and pushes it with Scott walking beside him.

They get to the park within 10 minutes, since it wasn't very far.

While they walked around, Peyton seemed fascinated by everything she could see, especially the trees. Every time she saw one with colorful flowers, she would babble and smile. Scott smiles fondly at her when she does because he remembers that Mitch loved them when Scott first took him in. He had said that those whole two years, he never saw one tree with flowers. So, Scott took him to the park so he could see them.

After a few hours, they went back home and are now on the couch: Scott is behind Mitch, who is sitting between his legs, back to chest, and Peyton laying on Mitch's chest on her stomach, Scott and Peyton both asleep.

"Toddy, will you get me some water? I would but..." Mitch asks, Todrick nods and gets Mitch a water bottle.

"How's motherhood treating you?" He asks, sitting on the coffee table in front of the couch Mitch is on, so he can whisper.

"It's hard. She's good about sleeping through the night, but sometimes she really just doesn't want to and it's tiring. It's also scary because I'm responsible for a human being's life and I have to make sure she eats right, stays healthy, grows up to be a good person, and I have to remember to teach her to know her self value when she's older."

"I understand that, but look at all of the positives. I know you're so young and you still need time to figure out your own self value and that's very overwhelming and stressful. However, when you feel like that, just remember how much you love Peyton and Scott and how happy they've made you." Mitch looks down at the sleeping baby, smiling, and kisses her forehead before looking back at Todrick.

"I know I just listed a bunch of bad things about being a parent, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I love her so much and she's my sunshine, just like I'm Alpha's."
