Chapter 6

"Okay Tae, I want to run some tests first to find out if what I'm thinking is true." That was the sentence that caused Taehyung to lay in his freshly made nest the whole rest of the day.

"Here I'm gonna put some of this jelly on your stomach, it might feel really cool for a second." Jimin rubbed a machine over Taehyung's tummy. "Well Taehyung I was correct. You wanna know what is wrong with your stomach?" Taehyung looked at Jimin with curious eyes, "Yes I do."

Taehyung tossed and turned, rubbing his belly every so often. He had a huge smile on his face that wouldn't seem to go away. He needed his Alpha more than ever.

"You are pregnant Taehyung. See?" Taehyung looked at a small screen beside Jimin. He couldn't really tell what he was looking at but he didn't care. "Jimin are you serious? This isn't funny..." Jimin smiled at Taehyung's teary eyes and small smile, "This isn't a joke Tae. Congratulations!"

Taehyung's tears fell at the overwhelming feeling. He couldn't stop crying, he was so happy. All his life he wanted puppies and now he had one. He wasn't broken after all. The omega in Taehyung felt a sense of pride. He had given his Alpha a pup, and now all he needed to do was tell him.

Jungkook was exhausted, yet he couldn't help but smirk at how well the hunt had gone. The hunters were able to bring in more than the past years, and the Alpha's ego was only increasing at the praise he was receiving as he entered the grounds. He looked among the many omegas who were waiting to greet their mates, but was annoyed when he couldn't spot his own.

Jungkook sat at the head of the table talking to another alpha, while Taehyung poked around at the food on his plate. He knew Jungkook was upset that he wasn't there to greet him when he had returned, but he was taking it too far.

Taehyung had tried countless times to gain his attention, and was simply shrugged off to talk to another alpha. Tears pricked at Taehyung's eyes, he wrapped the ends of his sleeves around his small hands and brought them to his nose to hide the sniffles and tears that just wouldn't stop. He hadn't eaten anything, and he was stressing himself out.

He needed to tell Jungkook. If he could just tell him then he would feel better and would hopefully be able to eat something himself and his pup.

Tae pulled at Jungkook's shirt in a last ditch effort to gain his attention. "W..Wolfie I need to tell you something..." Jungkook snapped his head to the side. "Do not interrupt me omega." Jungkook returned to his conversation, while his mate let his tears fall freely. "It's important." Jungkook was reaching his limit. He leaned into Taehyung whispering, "If it was so important, maybe you should have told me when I returned." Not wanting to embarrass himself more, Taehyung rose from the table and left for their shared room.

Jungkook immediately felt shame and indescribable sadness wash over him. Some was his own, but he felt most of it through his mate. Jungkook continued on with the feast, starting to enjoy it less and less as Taehyung never returned. He slowly made his way to his room, hesitating at the door.

Once he entered he saw Tahyung sleeping in a nest of his clothes? 'He's never done that before?' Jungkook walked closer to his mate seeing a slightly crumpled paper clutch in his hands. He couldn't make out most of the words but he did see "Dear Wolfie, I'm sorry..." It was enough to make Jungkook's heart clench. The two had gone a month apart, and this is how he treats his mate? He hadn't even asked what Taehyung was doing when he returned, instead he let his anger take over. Jungkook looked at his omega's pretty face. He could see the dried tears on one cheek as well as the small amount of black ones on the other.

Not being able to stay mad at him any longer, Jungkook removed the paper from Taehyung's hand and rested a hand on his stomach. He smiled to himself as he slipped a hand under his shirt wanting to feel the smooth skin he had missed so much. What he wasn't expecting was to feel a faint heartbeat. 'Why can I feel Taehyung's heart beat all the way down here-' "Oh my god" Jungkook stopped moving his hand and concentrated more. There it was again. "Oh my god. Oh my god." He stood up, and that's when he saw it. A small picture on the nightstand. He moved towards it in disbelief. He had seen many omegas carrying these around the pack, but never thought the small pup in the picture would be his own.
