The Stray Omega

Base

"Comfortable?" Scott asked as he made sure the babies were strapped in their seats properly. Mitch sat beside him in the 8 seater car, Kevin on the opposite side of Mitch and Avi and Matt up front. Mitch shifted in Scott's hold then nodded, plugging in his headphones and shutting his eyes as he leaned his head on Scott's shoulder.

Scott glanced up at Kevin who was nose deep in his phone, probably texting Nicole. He smiled, leaning forward to tap Avi's shoulder with his opposite hand. "We're ready."

Avi nodded, pulling from the apartment parking lot and driving to the freeway. "So, where to first?"

"Let's go near the base first. From there we can drive around." Scott said, looking down at his phone where he had called and texted Beau multiple times.

"Are you sure you're going to be alright traveling while you're pregnant, love?" Scott asked, glancing at Mitch through the bathroom mirror. They had stopped at a gas station halfway through the drive and Scott and Mitch went to use the restroom.

"I'm only 4 months in, Alpha. I'll be alright." Mitch turned after drying his hands and rubbing Scott's bicep.

Scott shook the water from his hands, shut off the faucet and dried them. He grabbed the back of Mitch's head and pulled him forward to kiss his forehead. He lingered in the kiss then pulled back.

"Let me know if it gets too much for you, understand?"

"Yes, sir." Mitch hugged Scott's waist then backed away. Scott grabbed Mitch's left hand with his right and two left the bathroom, bought a few snacks then got back in the car just as Matt finished filling the car with gas.

Mitch played on his phone for the rest of the trip to the military base. Once the group got just within a mile's reach of the base, Matt, who took a turn driving, drove past the base and up the mountains behind it. Far enough away to not be noticed. 

Scott put his prosthetic back on and hopped out of the car, walking to the edge and peeking over at the base. He let out a sigh then went to the back of the car, opening the trunk and grabbing his bad. He zipped it open and grabbed a pair of binoculars, going back to the edge of the cliff and looking out yonder. 

"Anything?" Mitch asked, standing beside Scott. Scott was quick to look down and he set an arm out in front of Mitch, pushing him back a few feet. Mitch grimaced but knew Scott was looking out of him.

"Nothing. Beau's tent that he shared with the others seems to be taken down though." Scott said, looking back through the binoculars. 

"Think something happened to the others?" 

"I'm not sure." Scott put the binoculars back in his bag as Mitch continued to stare out. He heard a few rocks fall and he snapped his head over, squinting his eyes when he didn't see Mitch in his usual spot. He then jumped when a hand grabbed his. He turned around to see Mitch on his opposite side. "God, you're scaring me so much today, Omega." 

Mitch chuckled, hopping up to sit on the trunk and watch Scott dig around in his suitcase. "I'm sorry. I kicked a few rocks off the cliff, nothing big. So, what are you doing?" 

"Getting an outfit on, say I left something in my tent. It's right across from Beau's, maybe I can find something left behind or maybe sneak into the Lieutenant General's office."

Mitch nodded, watching Scott sneak around the car to undress and dress back in one of his outfits. He hopped over and helped Scott step into his trousers. He then stood back up, fixing the collar of his jacket and leaning up to kiss him. 

"Thank you for being here with me, love," Scott said, grasping Mitch's shoulders before opening the car door, allowing Mitch to step in first. "Go ahead and drive up to the entrance, Matt. Thank you." Mitch leaned back against Scott's side, grinning when his Alpha grabbed his hand and linked his fingers.
