Step by step
While it had only been a bit over a month since this had started, Andrew hated pregnancy. His stomach hurt almost all the time, morning sickness was a pain in the ass and his cravings were a bit too odd for himself and other survivors. He had been looked at weirdly quite a few times when he’d get himself some ice to chew on, others wondering if he was okay. Not to mention the need to eat fried eggs with almost every one of his meals, which was starting to annoy whoever was cooking for the day.
But the worst of it all? He couldn’t truly cuddle up against his partner or his partner’s clothes and inhale his scent (something that should calm down any omega) because his partner was a beta.
Well, “partner” was a strong word at this stage. Antonio had agreed to help him out with the baby and then the child when it’s born, but they didn’t particularly have anything that attracted them to each other. The kid Andrew was carrying was the only thing that made them have to be around each other.
And it was not helping that Antonio’s beta status was making the man not understand Andrew’s needs.
“Is it really necessary for you to glue yourself onto me like that?”
“Yes.”
Yet another day when Antonio was done with his match and had the time to just be around Andrew. He had been excused from all matches until all of this was done, so he could do however he pleased for the next couple of months.
“Isn’t it a bit too much? We’re not alone.”
“Don’t you worry we don’t mind.”
He had underestimated the relationship he had with Luchino. Those two were pretty close, even when the other hunter had a partner. This kind of ment the four of them were almost always in the same place at the same time. Norton called it “a double date”. Andrew disagreed. They were all just in the same place, the omegas were kind of just hanging around while the other two talked, alongside Luchino doing whatever he was doing in this lab. At this point, no one was sure what he was trying to achieve here.
“Haven’t you at least tried to learn why he’s doing that?” Luchino asked. “You know, there is a reason for it.”
“You’re right, yea, there probably is.”
“Ask him then!” Nornton did not appreciate that. In his words, Andrew was neglected. He wouldn’t call it that. Antonio was just very unfamiliar with how pregnancy worked with omegas, that’s all. Yea, he should learn now that he got one pregnant, but Andrew can’t help but feel like just letting him take some time with everything. Betas usually end up with other betas, so maybe he was still adjusting to the idea of this? Not like they were mates or anything, but he did choose to stay with him and help.
“When omegas get needy, they tend to reach for their alpha’s clothes or the alpha themself because of the smell they have”, Andrew started on his own in the end. “But since you don’t have a smell, the touch is the most I can get out of this.”
“Uhuh…” Antonio seemed rather… surprised? That wouldn’t be the right word. Feeling bad? That’s what his face seemed to show.
It was true that he couldn't do much to help with that. He’s… normal, for the lack of a better word. None of the things that would affect an alpha or an omega affected him, but it also meant he just had a huge gap in knowledge Andrew should expect in a partner.
Suddenly, he tightened his grip around Andrew’s waist, which did seem to help a bit. Andrew’s face pressed against Antonio’s clothes. While there’s no smell coming off of him, the touch is comforting enough to calm him down.
Yeah, this can work for now. Norton might go off on how the beta should take this more seriously, but he’s sure Antonio can work on this. He just needs a bit more time on it.
Whether Andrew was putting a bit too much faith in him he didn’t know, but it was the least he could do at this stage.
