Our Happiness Was Planned

I Need You

After Yoongi's desperate need to knot Jimin has been satiated for the moment, the couple are lying in bed, Jimin's back pressed his alpha's chest so they can be comfortable. "Hyung?" the pregnant omega asks quietly.

"Mm?" Yoongi murmurs as he peppers soft kisses on the back of the omega's neck.

"If you're not supposed to get your rut while I'm pregnant, why did you get yours today?"

"I don't know, Minnie." Suddenly the kisses stop. "Wait." He lifts himself up on his elbow so he can look down into Jimin's eyes. His common sense is slowly returning, and he finally realizes how odd it is. "This wasn't supposed to happen."

"Hyung, I'm scared. Does this mean the pups are--"

"Don't." Yoongi snaps, a bit too harshly, and then his face immediately softens. "I'm sorry, baby. It might just be because you were in Hoseok's lap, he was scenting you, and my wolf went into overdrive." He shrugs a bit, but of course he can still sense his mate's worry.

"Maybe, but can you still check, please?" His voice is barely audible.

"Of course, baby. Here, lift up a bit so I can reach your mark." The alpha helps Jimin prop himself up with a pillow underneath his side, carefully since the two are still locked together, and nuzzles the omega's neck as he laps at his mating mark. "I'm going to bite down," he murmurs against the skin, "but I'm going to be gentle."

"Okay, hyung." Jimin squeezes his eyes shut. His mating mark has always been tender since they mated after he got pregnant, but he doesn't mind it much. He feels his alpha's canines sinking into his skin and sharply inhales. It's quiet for a moment before he speaks again.

"Do you sense anything, hyung?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I'm right here, Taehyungie. It's okay. I've got you." Jungkook can't count how many times he's said those words in the last couple of hours, but he'll keep saying them until the omega believes them.

"Just one more thing, and we're done." The doctor smiles kindly down at the tired omega. "You've been so strong today. Your mates and your friends have a lot to be proud of." They're taken to yet another exam room. "This last one is easy. Just a CAT scan. It won't take any longer than twenty minutes."

"Okay." Taehyung has already had blood drawn, an MRI performed, and X-rays done. At this point, he would agree to getting a shot in his butt if it meant being done that much quicker. The doctor is right, and the scan takes under half an hour. Jungkook is by his omega's side the whole time, and Taehyung makes it well-known that if it wasn't for the alpha being there, he wouldn't be nearly as comfortable.

This makes Jungkook feel like he's doing something of worth to contribute to Taehyung's happiness. It makes him feel important, and for the first time since being mated with Taehyung, he feels worthy of the honor of being his mate, his alpha. When they're finally alone again, he rewards his omega with a long, sweet kiss and plenty of hugs. "You were so brave today, TaeTae. I'm proud of you, my brave little omega." He speaks against the omega's skin, making him giggle.

"You really think so?" He asks, nothing but love in his eyes for his alpha. "Taehyungie was brave?"

"Yes." Jungkook's response is immediate. "Taehyungie was very brave."

"I want to hear all about it!" Hoseok shouts with enthusiasm as he bursts into the room and makes a beeline towards Taehyung's bed.

"Where are Joonie-hyung and Jinnie-hyung?" Taehyung asks, frowning slightly.
