Chapter Text
Jeff walked downstairs, towel in hand as he dried his wet hair. He gave a quick look around in search of his mate.
"Searching for me, dove?" Alan called for him, drawing the other's attention towards the kitchen counter where Alan had finished washing and was now putting away some dishes.
"In a way." Jeff approached him.
Alan closed the cupboard and turned to face him. "Missed me already?"
"No, not really." Jeff replied, stopping in his track and turning to leave.
"Oi!" Alan exclaimed playfully, gently grabbing Jeff by his wrist and pulling him back towards him, his hands instantly wrapped around the younger's waist. "Teasing me, huh?"
Jeff kept looking away, only sparing a glance at Alan, trying to hide his grin. The alpha stared at him, a soft, yet, mischievious smile on his lips. He leaned in, kissing Jeff on the lips, first a peck, then a bit slower and deeper. Alan picked his mate up and sat him on the counter, his lips travelling down his jawline and neck, his teeth lightly grazing the skin just below the bite mark.
He withdrew a little, just a breath away, enjoying how Jeff was somewhat flustered. He kissed him once again, ever so slow, Jeff felt it was more erotic than the previous ones. "Ever so etheral... What am I gonna do with you?" Alan gazed lovingly at his omega.
"I'm in my pyjamas, ready- hours ahead- for bed."
"And?" he asked, as if that changed something.
Jeff shook his head. "Very sappy."
"There is no reason to hold back my love. It can't be contained."
"Yeah, you have a lot of engine space after so many years being alive."
"Why are so mean now?!" Alan reprimanded and pinched his cheek.
"There, there." Jeff patted his shoulder as if to console him. "I can't complain... I like your attention."
"Yours only." Alan caressed the other's right cheek.
Jeff giggled softly and stayed silent for a while. Alan frowned a little, confused but he waited. Some seconds later, Jeff looked back up. "Well..."
"What do you mean 'well'? Do I need to fight someone?"
"You didn't even try to hide your jealousy." Jeff laughed. "But if there was someone else flirting with me, you think I would brag about it right in your face?"
Alan gave a slow nod. "No, you're right... What is it, though?"
"Let's just say..." Jeff stopped for a moment, "I won't be the only recipient of your ocean of love."
"What do you mean?" Alan looked more puzzled.
'It is a surprise. A good one, I promise." he said, thinking Alan is getting more and more worried for no reason. "Why don't you come closer?" he playfully suggested, index finger signalling to lean in.
The older did as he was told, waiting patiently for the other to speak. Jeff's lips hovered over his ear and whispered. "I'm pregnant"
Alan's head jerked up, eyes widened in surprise and staring at Jeff's soft ones, his smile wider within passing moment." Se...seriously?! You're..." his eyes for a second on his abdomen before looking back at him. "We're..."
Jeff nodded excitedly. Alan laughed quitely as he squeezed the other into a hug, both rocking side to side. "That's amazing! Oh my god, that's so amazing!" Alan withdrew a little to hold his mate's face. "We are having a baby!" Alan said, feeling his own words leave him breathless.
"We are having a baby." Jeff repeated, beaming at Alan's excitement.
"I need to start preparing. There are so many things. Make the nursery, buy all the necessary stuff, babyproof everything! We need to book a doctor's appointment asap! Have all the nutritious options-"
Jeff slapped his hand right on his alpha's mouth, silencing him. "Can't have you overheating that early. Doctor's appointment is already scheduled. We can see about the other stuff as the time goes by. You mentioned food though and not gonna lie, I'm a bit hungry now. So, how about you start on dinner, dad?"
Dad. Both of them liked the sound of it.
"Of course." Alan replied and let go, but not before kissing Jeff's palm and stomach, to start cooking.
