"Look, it's actually snowing- I don't think I've seen that happen on Christmas for a while." Virgil says, smiling. "But as much as I enjoy watching the snow fall, I enjoyed Christmas Eve a lot more~" he says, putting his arms around Roman's shoulders.
Roman chuckles, holding him by the waist. "I could tell, my love~ you were quite vocal~" Virgil giggles softly, kissing Roman gently afterwards. Roman kisses back, smiling into it.

"Out of curiosity, Virgil.." Roman murmurs, breaking the kiss. "Say, hypothetically, you get pregnant after what we did last night. How would you react?" he asks.
"Um.. Probably with confusion as to how? Unless you're going to say-" Virgil starts. "I think you're an omega, my love, I really, really do." Roman says, stroking Virgil's cheek.

Virgil sighs softly, leaning into the touch. "Roman, all the stories I've heard about omegas had like, heats, or if there was an age, it was like, 14-18, depending. I'm 21 now, and still have never gotten pregnant, I think it's safe to assume I'm not an omega."
"Maybe you're just a late bloomer, my love. There's too much evidence pointing otherwise." Roman says, looking at him. "But Roman-"

"Virgil, my father thinks you're an omega. He's the one who told me about omega vampires in the first place, and hearing you call me 'alpha' caught his attention." Roman interrupted.
"Fine, hypothetically if I was, right now, conceiving a child,.. Well that.. Would be wonderful.." Virgil says, voice falling to a gentle whisper at the end, smiling softly.

"See, that reaction alone, that is such an omega-like reaction, my love. But just to further prove my point, what am I to you? List every endearment or title that comes to mind when you look at me, don't think about it." Roman says.
Virgil looks at him. "My husband, my prince, my world, my top, my alph..a.." he says, blushing a little in realization. Roman looks at him, deciding to test something. "My omega."

Virgil blushes and coos quietly, nuzzling Roman's shoulder slightly. Roman pets him, smiling a little. "My love, you are one. There's no way you're not." he says.
Virgil looks up at him, blushing a little. "I-if I was... Wh-what would you..." Roman looks at him. "What would I do? I'd take care of you, isn't that a given? You're my mate, I'll always protect and care for you."

"H-how do you even- I-i'm not a girl, how are we even going to know?" Virgil asks. "If you are? I'll know, Lily will probably know, being a girl. There's symptoms, you know, you don't just get a baby belly." Roman says, a little jokingly.
Virgil blushes a little. "Well I'm not familiar with that kind of thing, I didn't think it would ever apply to me, being gay-" he says.

"Well I don't know much about it either, go ask your sister if you're curious." Roman says.

So, Virgil went downstairs, finding Lily easily by her scent (which he's still trying to get used to being able to smell). "Hey Lily. So, um, basically.." he says.
"Okay what's your question?" Lily asks. "I didn't even say anything yet-" Virgil says, looking at her. "You didn't have to. Your 'um basically' is a dead give away for a question you're hesitant to ask, it always has been." Lily says.

Virgil sighs. "Why can you read me so well.. Okay, so, you're a girl.." Lily looks at him. "Mhm, yes?"
"What- oh god damn it this is hard to ask, um.. How does pregnancy work?" Virgil asks, pointing his hand at her. ".... I'm sorry what?" Lily asks.

Virgil sighs. "Roman's convinced that I'm an omega even though I was born a human, not a vampire.. Which basically means he thinks I can get pregnant.."
"That's a lot, but at this point, I'm gonna stop questioning it. Well, when a girl's pregnant, she's gonna throw up like a lot, but only after about 4-6 weeks. She'll eat weird fucking things, too." Lily says.

"But aside from that... Do you think you're that omega thing?" Lily asks after a moment. "I-i don't know! Roman said I called him 'alpha' while I turned but I don't remember that.." Virgil says. "And he says it's like an omega thing to take care of dolls even though they're not real.."

"I will say that was odd, I kinda wanna try again- I won't, but I want to. But suppose you did call him that, what's the big deal? Isn't that what he is? An alpha vampire?" Lily asks.
"Y-yes, but- I've never called him that before, and I did it again when he asked me to say everything he is to me.. I called him 'my alpha'." Virgil says.

"Well.. Let's recap okay? Mom thought you were a freak, that's why she hurt you. Roman is literally addicted to your blood, I wonder why. You treated my baby doll like an actual child. You're parental, and now you've got a new nickname for your prince." Lily says.
"... Are you agreeing with him? Look, Lily, I don't want to doubt Roman, but- from like, stories and shit, omegas are usually teenagers when they can have kids! Roman first fucked me when I turned 19, and lo and behold, I didn't get pregnant." Virgil says.

"I really didn't need to know that. But because we're sharing, I didn't start my period till 9th grade. Other girls thought I was weird because of that; I was a late bloomer, maybe you are too." Lily replies.

Virgil sighs, looking away. "I mean, if I am, great, I just don't understand how that's possible. Does that mean I was never human?"
"You believe in reincarnation, do you not, Virgil?" Romulus asks. Virgil looks at him. "Kinda, why?" he asks. "Perhaps an omega vampire died, came back as you."

Virgil scoffs quietly. "You think I was a vampire in my past life? But vampires only die if they.. Starve.. So how..?"
Romulus sighs. "Locked in a dungeon and not fed, most likely. That did used to happen, Virgil, to vampires who disrespected their lord or king, or broke the law." he says.

"... They do say the life you live is a consequence of your last.. Like if you have a good life, you were a good person, visa versa.." Virgil mumbles.
"But why did this come up?" Romulus asks. Virgil looks at him, then away, blushing a little. "Roman thinks I can get pregnant cuz of it." he mumbles.

"You can. If you are one, which I fully believe you are, you can bear children, and will, if you and Roman continue to-" Romulus starts.
"O-okay I get it!" Virgil said, blushing brightly and hiding his face. Romulus chuckles a little. "Just saying, Virgil. If you're not ready, I'd be careful. And if you are, don't be surprised." he says, walking away.
