Bruce Pov
Two hours later, they finally make it back to the manor. Bruce texted Tim several time since he called four hours ago, but he hasn’t gotten any reply. He’s starting to become worried about Tim.
When they get to the manor, there’s a stale scent of distressed omega in the air, making Bruce even more worried. He walks away from the rest of the pack to try to find the source of the smell. The smell of distressed becomes stronger and slowly turns into the smell of pregnant omega. The trail leads to Bruce’s bedroom and he finds Tim nesting in his bed.
“Tim? Are you alright?” Bruce pulls the covers away from Tim’s face, Tim’s hair is plastered to his face with sweat and his breath is coming out in pants.
Tim blinks open his eyes, “B-Bruce? You’re back...”
“Are you pregnant?”
Tim pushes the blankets off his torso, revealing his extended stomach, “Yeah... I’m also in labor.”
“Labor?! We need to get you to a hospital.” Bruce pulls the blanket completely off, sees Tim’s bare thighs and quickly throws the blanket back over him, “I’ll get Alfred.”
He races out of the room and finds Alfred in the living room talking with the rest of the pack. They can smell the scent of distressed omega, the smell is making them antsy. It’s their instinct to try to comfort the pack omega, but they also know better than interrupt the leader with the pack omega. They’re left confused on what to do next.
“Alfred, Tim’s pregnant and he’s currently in labor.” Bruce blurts out, unsure how to gently say that the pack’s omega is in the middle of giving birth.
Everyone’s jaws drop, unsure of how to respond.
“Oh my heavens... we must get him to the hospital.” Alfred gets up, “Where is he?”
“He’s in my room, I don’t know how far along he is.” Bruce leads Alfred upstairs, the rest of the pack follow behind curiously.
The pack collectively gasp when they find Tim’s nest in Bruce’s bed followed by the scent of distress and pregnancy. Alfred hurries to the bed to check on Tim, the removes the blanket to see how far along Tim is, then goes back over to the pack that are hovering in the doorway of the room. The only one inside the room besides Alfred and Tim is Bruce.
“Timothy is not very far along, he’s hardly dilated, however we cannot take him to the hospital. He’s already nested and stressed out. It would cause the young master too much stress to move him.” Alfred reports, then turns to Dick, “Go fetch my medical supplies and some towels.”
“Alright.” Dick nods dumbly then hurries off.
He then turns to Jason, “Master Jason, please bring some warm water.”
Jason walks off without a word, then Alfred looks at the others, “Make sure the rest of you do not get in the way.”
“How did he hide this from all of us?” Stephanie asks, it’s obvious that she wanted to come in, but wasn’t sure if she was allowed to.
“We’ll worry about that later, first your must make sure Timothy and the baby are healthy.” Alfred goes back over to the makeshift nest, Bruce follows him.
“Is... is it going to be... over soon?” Tim’s voice is barely a whisper.
“No Timmy, it’s going to be a little bit. You’re going to have to hang in there.” Bruce sits down on the edge of the bed and holds Tim’s hand.
“I need.... it out of me....” Tim groans and shifts around in the nest.
“Easy, Master Timothy. These things take time.” Alfred shifts the blankets of the nest to get easier access to everything.
Bruce gives Alfred a concerned look, Tim’s hips are pretty narrow, he’s not sure that he’s going to be able to push a baby through them.
“Do you think he’s going to need a c-section?” Bruce whispers to Alfred, he’s not sure he’d be able to stomach being in the room for that.
“We’ll try to see if Master Timothy can do this without one. He’s missing his spleen and it’s most likely that it’d get infected.” Alfred shakes his head.
“He’s missing his spleen?!” Bruce gasps causing Tim to let out a distressed whimper.
“Master Bruce, there are more important things to worry about at the moment.” Alfred glares at him.
“Sorry, you’re right.” Bruce nuzzles Tim’s hair trying to calm him down.
