My Alpha, Your Omega

Chapter 22: Snuggles and Pheromones

Harry's POV

It was close to diner time, but the staff said dinner would be at at 6 and it was only 5 pm. It was a bit before which meant I'd have to interact with Louis's father. I hope he likes me, I thought. He was peppered in hair color, but still looked young in his face. He and his wife Leslie were both fit and very attractive people that I'm not surprised that Louis was there kid. Louis was a great mix of both and now I'm wondering how our baby would look. Would the baby be a girl? A boy? An omega? Or alpha??? Would he mind? Would Louis mind if I gave him a non alpha....

I looked to him while he was laughing with his dad and I came by him and got Louis's attention. Pulling him politely away from his dad and his dad seemed to catch on and went to check his phone and I went to look Louis in the eyes. I never asked him about secondary sex, nor mentioned it at all because it was taboo and honestly I was scared. Alphas wanted alphas, simple as that.

"Do you want an alpha?" I ask and felt like my chest was about to explode. I was an omega, did he secretly think alphas were better? Would he treat our omega baby poorly. It would literally break my heart.

He looked confused, "The baby, do you want an alpha?" And I could see both of his parents interest was peaked. I understand the want of an alpha. More success rate, would emulate their alpha father themselves. Omegas were looked upon as the weak sex. The ones to basically only have babies and be a little trophy for the alpha.

"Would I want an alpha? Yes, but do I also want an omega? Just as much! I don't mind, I'll treat them equally. Every secondary sex is important and valid." His dad suddenly piped up too, "It shouldn't matter what secondary sex your baby is, that's just a social construct. I hire many omegas and they are some of the best employees I have!", and I was a bit embarrassed they listened in, but happy they thought so too. My dad would want me to have an alpha because I once overheard my dad tell my mom he wished I was an alpha, and then he wouldn't have to deal with me. It cut deeply into my heart that day when I was 14, so I was conditioned to always want and try to produce an alpha.

"So Harry, tell me about yourself." I look at Louis like the way it was programmed into me and waited for him to give me direction. Louis gave me a little nod like go for it, and then I looked to Leslie, "Remember, be yourself Harry", Leslie encouraged me, and I nod. I looked into Tim's eyes, and saw they were green like emeralds. We talked about my upbringing and what I was passionate about and I got comfortable when I started to talk about music. He asked me a lot about it and I was surprised at how much he knew, but I guess I shouldn't considering his fancy upbringing.

He began to dote on Leslie because they didn't see each other for the whole day until right now and I was loving the way he loved on his wife. My dad was such a stoic strong man and didn't have much room for softness, even though I knew he wanted to show it every now and then. My mom craved attention and love from him, but he couldn't do it. I knew it was because my grandfather had raised him like that. Luckily, because I was an omega he did soften up a bit and was sweet and kind to me, but he was still a hard cookie to crack.

I became comfortable with both of them faster than I thought and soon we were laughing again at Louis's old childhood stories. I loved listening to them and Louis's mom even had a cute pictures. I stared at the picture and giggled as Louis looked slightly embarrassed.

"We would love to meet your parents, Harry!", Louis's mom said earnestly. I was hesitant to confirm because... what if they hated each other? They were polar opposites. Louis's parents had a happy marriage and well, my parents are just married. I nod, "actually they're planned to come in a month! We should have you over too, so we can really get to know each other." Louis said excitedly, and Tim brought his phone out of his pocket and texted someone, "Done, for a week next month we are free from work and we are able to get to know each other. I'm so excited to meet them."
