Chapter Text

“Champ. Champ, come out here and help me with the groceries please!” Waverly shouted when she got out of her jeep outside her boyfriend’s trailer on his parents’ property.

She opened her trunk and pulled out a couple of bags before looking back at the trailer. The trailer was rocking slightly in the wind. It had been so windy that day. Other than that there was no movement inside the trailer but Champs truck was parked haphazardly beside it.

Lazy asshole, she thought to herself with a groan assuming the man was asleep. It wasn’t uncommon for her boyfriend to be asleep in the middle of the afternoon. He rarely held a job for any length of time. That’s why Waverly would buy him groceries once in a while.

She opened the door with her key and groaned in frustration as the door stuck in its frame again and kicked the base to get it to open.

“Goddammit, Champ, are you ever gonna fix this fudging door?” She called out as she placed the shopping on the messy counter and rolled her eyes when she saw the stacks of unwashed dishes and rolled her eyes when she didn’t get a response.

How was that man surprised she didn’t want to let him move in with her?

She made for the bedroom and reached out to pull open the door when her ears perked up and she paused.

“Oh... Champ... oh... yeah...” she heard coming from behind the thin door and the omega growled.

Waverly pulled open the door and found her asshole boyfriend humping her bitch of a friend, Stephanie. The blond woman on the bed smirked when she met Waverly’s eyes before she faked a gasp.

“Oh Gods, Waverly! Oh no.” She cried out unconvincingly and the beta male turned around and grimaced.

“Ugh... shit... Baby, its not what it looks like!” Champ said lamely and Waverly arched her brow and scoffed.

“Seriously?”

“Look, Waves, you ain’t gonna do better than me and we both know . How about you strip and join us?” He grinned lecherously and patted the messy bed. “I’ll rock your world.”

Waverly’s inner wolf gagged as the omega began to laugh loudly.

“Oh, Champ, you are barely rocking this trailer.” She turned and grabbed the shopping bags before going out to her Jeep. When the engine roared, she pushed her foot down and spun the vehicle around as fast as she could, accidentally slamming the side against the man’s Barbecue, sending it flying and falling to the ground, crumpling into a twisted pill of metal.

“Oops.” Waverly imitated Stephanie’s faux surprised as she flew down the dirt road and headed for home.

She decided to call her sister and smiled when Wynonna answered.

“Yo, Baby Girl, what is up?” the beta woman greeted. “I thought you were busy with The Chump?”

“I gave him and his Barbecue their walking papers. I am going home to get drunk and eat pizza. You in?” Waverly asked.

“Oooo...kay... give me an hour, I’m helping Nedley out with something.”

“I hope you aren’t giving him a hard time, Wynonna.”

Her sister gasped in mock indignation. “I would NEVER. Shame on you. Make sure we have whiskey. See you soon.” The line went dead and Waverly smiled before letting out a long exhale.

10 minutes later Waverly pulled up outside the Earp Homestead, a small, wooden, 2 storey cabin not far from the ancient lynch gate that was planted at the entrance to the 5 acres of Earp own land. She parked beside the rundown barn and got out of her jeep. She checked the damage made by the barbecue and blew out a sigh of relief when she saw it was just a slight dent and lots of scratches she was sure would be an easy repair.

Waverly loved their little house. It was a bit drafty and old, having been built by the sisters great, great grandfather during the frontier age, housed every generation since and then was abandoned for two decades. The omega had been pleasantly surprised the house was still standing when she and Wynonna decided to make the building habitable a year ago after Wynonna’s divorce and move into it with the beta’s daughter Alice.

It had taken a lot of hard work but it was worth it. Waverly had been sick of renting the small apartment over the bar in town and it would be nice to work on the project together after years of living apart. The house was now cosy and warmly decorated. It may not be the nicest house but it was a work in progress. Waverly planned on using the summer vacation to attempt to repanel the house. And plant a vegetable garden with her uncle’s help.

Waverly carried her purchases inside and put them away in their small, tidy kitchen as she hummed happily to herself.

Waverly Earp was a 30 year old High-school history teacher as well as a weekend bartender in her family’s saloon in the small country town in north west Canada. Most people in town loved the pretty, charming omega who was also known as the Nicest Person in Purgatory town.

She was a hard worker and very kind hearted but one thing Waverly had never had was luck in relationships. She had dated most of the available men and women in this town and none of them lasted long, even the ones who she had given a second chance to. Like Champ.

They had dated senior year but he had cheated on her with some of the girls in their year but he had spent over a decade begging for a 2nd chance. A couple of months ago she had agreed, thinking he probably had grown up even though she saw how he was every weekend.

Wynonna, their Aunt and Uncle, and most of Waverly’s friends thought she was insane for rekindling the relationship but honestly she had really regretted it. He was boarish and lazy, too interested in his looks and women. She had planned on dumping him if he didn’t grow up anyway. She had enough of relationships anyway.

There was one thing she was bothered by. Waverly desperately wanted to be a mother someday but she had imagined she would have a partner to have a family with. The work load on a single mother was brutal and while Waverly was still young, if she had to wait to find Mr or Mrs Right, it might never happen, but she didn’t want to have a child with just anyone.

She might not be able to afford adoption because the steep legal fees and as a single woman she might be over looked in favour of Couples.

As well as that Waverly knew how tough it was for single parents and she was worried if she would be able to do it. It would be much easier with a partner to help with the finances and the load.

Ever since she had been a little girl, she had wanted pups of her own.

She just didn’t have time to travel and possibly meet someone. Between the High-school, the Saloon and minding Alice, as well as the renovations and redecorating of the Homestead, she barely had any time to herself.

Waverly shook herself off as she heard her sister’s motorbike coming up the road and pulled 2 large tumblers from the cabinet before filling them half up with a hefty, healthy measure of Whisky in each.

When Wynonna came in, Waverly went to hand her the glass but paused.

“Doc pick Alice up?” the omega asked, making sure neither of them had any further responsibilities for the evening. The Beta nodded and thanked Waverly for the drink.

“He collected her from school and is taking her to the city to the movies and he will drop her home on Sunday evening. He sends his love.” The wild haired brunette said before taking a hearty mouthful.

Waverly smiled and took a swig of her own. She was proud of her sister. Wynonna and her ex husband had had an amicable divorce and stayed good friends throughout. It had been hard on them but they realised it wasn’t working. They mutually decided to call it a day and promised to always put Alice first.

It broke Waverly’s heart because she could see how much they loved each other but was proud of the couple. Doc, Wynonna’s ex and Alice’s sire, was roguishly handsome with a devil may care attitude but beneath his odd fashion choices which had him looking like an extra in a wild West film he had a heart of gold. He was still very much part of the family.

“So what are we celebrating? It’s not like you to hit the hard stuff before sundown.” Wynonna closely looked at her sister to check if the omega was OK but the younger woman seemed fine.

“I’m celebrating losing 200lbs of dead weight.” Waverly winked and Wynonna whooped.

“You dumped the Chump?”

“Yep, and I ran over his Grill after I caught him in bed with Stephanie.” Waverly went on to fill her sister in on the entire story and the Beta laughed.

“I’m proud of you, Baby Girl, but you know he’s probably gonna whinge to Sheriff Nedley, right?”

“Of course but Randy won’t take him seriously and is he really going to arrest his deputy’s sister?” Waverly giggled as Wynonna nodded.

“You need to find yourself a decent guy or girl, Waves.” The beta said and the omega rolled her eyes.

“Purgatory equals limited dating options, Wy. Besides, I think it’s better I stay single for a while.” Waverly shrugged.

“You should visit Chrissy in the Big City for a few days,” Wynonna suggested, speaking of Waverly’s best friend and Sheriff Nedley’s daughter, “it would be good for you to get away.”

“I really don’t have time. I’ll be minding Alice during the summer holidays.” Waverly said and her sister waved dismissively.

“Gus and Doc are both taking her for a week each so you’ll have plenty of time. Just call her, Waves, you deserve a break.” The blue eyed woman told her before they made for the living room and put on a movie while they drank and talked into the night.

The following morning Waverly woke up with a hangover. She grabbed her reusable water bottle from the bedside locker and opened the draw to pull out some pain killers. She then dozed for another hour before grumbling unhappily when her phone began to ring.

She glanced at the screen and huffed

“Did Wynonna call you?” she asked when she answered the facetime call and saw Chrissy give her a questioning look.

“Why would Wynonna call me? Is everything alright? You look hungover to fuck, Waves.”

“Everything is fine. What’s up?” Waverly yawned, sitting up and running her fingers through her messy hair.

“I’m coming back to town tonight. Are you working?”

“Yeah but we can catch up and have a drink. Gus won’t mind.” It had been months since the friends had seen each other in the flesh but they called and texted often.

When they said goodbye Waverly decided to get up and have a long hot shower before she got on with grading papers. She loved her job but she had more homework now than she did when she was in High-school. Between her history classes she also taught French and one Latin class. She knew multiple languages and had a degree in ancient languages.

Wynonna had already left for work and Waverly knew she wouldn’t have a hangover. The beta rarely suffered from them.

Waverly had enjoyed their evening together. They rarely got time to spend one on one with each other where they could gossip without little ears hearing them. It had been so nice.

Waverly and Wynonna had always been close but they had always felt a piece was missing after their older sister, Willa, had died in a car accident along with their father many years before. Wynonna and Waverly had been so young when they died but shortly after the funeral their mother, Michelle, left town. Their aunt and uncle had taken them in and given the pair a loving home but it hadn’t been the same.

Wynonna had spent her teens rebelling and for a time Waverly worried Nedley would arrest her sister but after some travel Wynonna had settled down and had gone to the Police academy. That had surprised many.

Waverly had sunk into herself and books when her sister had left. The omega was an intelligent girl and quiet so stayed out of trouble. Really her one negative was her shit taste in men and that was more to do with the small population of Purgatory.

When it was time for her to drive into town and she had changed into her uniform for the saloon, a short crop top that showed off her defined abdomen and thin waist and a pair of tight skinny jeans that showed off her deceptively long but shapely legs, she jumped in her jeep and made for town.

Chapter Text

There was a bit of a stir the old fashioned saloon that was Purgatory’s favourite haunt for the ranchers and cowboys every evening and was an infinite source of gossip.

Waverly walked in and waved at some of the patriots as she offered her boss, Shorty, brother of her uncle Curtis and someone she saw as an uncle also, a smile before she rounded the bar and immediately began taking orders.

After a few minutes, an old class make of Wynonna’s came up to the bar and summoned her.

“What can I getcha, Pete?” she ask the tall, wiry man with the scraggly beard.

“is it true you crushed Champ’s grill?” he asked with a grin and Waverly scoffed playfully. She should have known would have spread quickly.

“I wouldn’t do something like that, Pete!” she said but her expression thoroughly showed her mirth. The man laughed before he leaned over the bar.

“So you guys are over then?” the beta male asked hopefully and Waverly bit back a grimace. Pete was one of the few guys she hadn’t been on a date with as Wynonna had been with him in High-school but also because he had a strange vibe that made her wolf recoil. He was pretty harmless but not someone she wanted more than a passing relationship with.

“Yep and it couldnt have come at a better time. I’m so looking forward to me time.” She said faux excitement in her voice as she wanted him to take the hint as she wanted to save them both an awkward moment.

Pete’s face fell before he nodding in understanding and ordered a drink before he went back to his buddies.

Waverly heard Shorty laughing before turning to the beta and scolded him. “stop laughing.”

“You really did destroy that grill. He was in here last night bitching and whining. You need to stop dating people from this town, Angel, you are better than all of them put together.” The older man said affectionately before going back to work.

An hour or so later the doors to the bar opened and Chrissy Nedley waved when she spotted her best friend behind the bar. Waverly put down the glass she had been washing before drying her hands as she made for the other omega to give her a tight hug.

The girls walked back to the bar and Waverly poured her friend a tall glass of Chardonnay.

“So I heard you’re gonna be arrested for vandalism, Waves.” The taller girl teased as Waverly blushed.

“Fudge nuggets. Is your dad really going to arrest me?” Waverly asked, biting her lip with nerves before Chrissy laughed, shaking her head.

“Of course not. Daddy loves you and Champ has no proof it was you. I’m guessing that you dumped him?”

“I found him in bed with Stephanie. Talk about Deja vu.” The smaller girl said with a shrugged. She genuinely didn’t care. He wasn’t worth a shit. “Anyway, what about you? Meet anyone in the Big City yet?”

“Since I started this new job, I barely have time to myself. I’m not willing to give up a minute of my alone time for some beta.” Chrissy took a long sip of her wine and sighed happily.

“How is the job going?”

Chrissy had started a new job at an upscale fertility clinic where she worked as a geneticist. It was a place the elite went for different procedures and testing.

“I admit I love it.” The sandy haired woman said, “I don’t get to meet the clientele but I’ve heard we actually have some Alpha’s on the books.” Chrissy whispered and Waverly gasped.

“Alphas?” she asked in surprise. “Have you ever met an Alpha?”

Her friend shook her head before Chrissy asked her the same and got the same response.

More than a century ago a world wide disease infected almost every Alpha and killed off more than 95% of them. Their numbers hadn’t recovered as the after effects of the disease had effected some Alphas’ fertility. Most Alpha’s alive now came from a long line of powerful Alpha sires while Alpha’s born without an Alpha parent or grandparents were rare and they were not as strong as the “true born” Alphas as they were known

The surviving Alphas seized more power thanks to the deaths of their competitors and they became even wealthier and stronger. Some Alphas were almost celebrities while others ran huge businesses or were in politics but it was rare to meet one and they were reportedly quiet imposing, huge and strong. The female Alphas were supposedly even rarer than the males and much more powerful.

Waverly didn’t believe all the stories about them but she would love to meet one. There was none in Purgatory. She had found many historical references about them from the times before the disease. Generally every ruler going back to the birth of civilisation were Alpha’s. No matter the country, no matter the culture.

One thing that really surprised Waverly was the fact that any Alpha had donated sperm. They were well known to be possessive and protective, especially of their pups.

Alphas took mates, not spouses. A lot of them were rumoured to have multiple mates. Omegas were forced to be with Betas and other omegas because of the lack of Alphas but omega’s needed to be knotted during their heats or it could cause health issues, particularly with fertility. Fake, silicone knots or dildos with knots were in every omega’s bedside locker but Waverly had never felt truly satisfied no matter who wore it.

She could admit the only way she could climax was by imaging that the knot was real. It just never felt right however. She would have thought there was something wrong with her except all her omega friends said the same.

Chrissy and Waverly continued to catch up before Chrissy said she promised her father they would have dinner together. She and Waverly hugged tightly.

“Please come spends a few days in the city with me. It would do you the world of good to get away from this place. You could spend your days in the museum and gallery’s and we could go out at night for dinner or to a few bars.”

“That does sound good. OK. I’ll call you next week when I know Alice’s schedule once summer vacation starts.” The smaller omega promised before they said goodbye and Waverly got back to work.

It wasn’t long later before Waverly’s aunt Gus arrived, wanting a relaxing whiskey sour and to be on hand if Waverly or Shorty, her brother-in-law, went on break or if it got busy.

She smiled gratefully as Waverly mixed up her drink and slid it across the bar to her aunt. The beta took a healthy sip before fixing Waverly with a serious luck.

“Why’d you lose your temper like that, Angel? That ain’t like you.” The woman asked, wondering what had happened. Waverly shrugged.

“I found him in bed with Stephanie. But he actually asked me to join them.” Waverly told her aunt and the salt and peppered haired woman in her late 50s scowled

“He always was a dog.” She shook her head and Waverly huffed in agreement.

“I didnt actually mean to destroy the grill. I just peeled out of there and hit it by accident.” Waverly said before smirking. “I’m not sorry it happened though.” She finished with a giggle and her aunt chuckled before Waverly went back to work.

The rest of the evening was pretty uneventful and after she and Shorty locked up for the evening, she drove home where she found a drunk Champ on their porch, passed out.

She rolled her eyes and her wolf growled. Her inner omega had never liked Champ, well she had never really liked anyone Waverly had been involved with but she had a particular distaste for the man. Waverly knew she should listen to the beast more but if she only got involved with people her wolf liked, she would still be a virgin.

She got out of the jeep and closed the door as quietly as she could before she crept onto the porch. She put her key in the lock but cringed as the hinges squealed in protest.

Shit.

Champ snorted and woke, blinking drunkenly before he saw the omega.

“Waaaves, Babe. Where you been?” he slurred was he smiled at her.

“Go home, Champ.”

“Ah, Baby, let me in.” He pouted before pointing at his crotch and winking. “You owe me...” he licked His lips sloppily and Waverly tried not to gag. “You know I love the... the...uh, that thing.”

“Champ, you need to leave.” She growled and the mans lips curled into a snarl and he lurched towards her before she reached into the open doorway and pulled out the baseball bat from its usual spot and held it out between them, pressing its tip into the mans chest to keep him away.

“If you don’t leave now, I’ll crush your skull like your barbecue.” She warned with a low growl and pushed him back with the tip of the wooden bat.

“Bitch.” He spat before he stumbled down the porch steps and lumbered towards the road.

Waverly went inside and locked the front door, sliding the bolt across before she went to be bathroom to shower the smell of beer and the grim of the day off of herself before she went to her room in her towel before changing into her fluffy pyjamas. It didn’t matter what time of year it was, Waverly would always feel chilly.

She had a fitful nights sleep and woke up earlier than normal so decided it was best to start her morning off with yoga. She put on her favourite relaxation playlist, put in her earphones and lit some candles before rolling her foam yoga mat out.

After a hour of stretching, she got dressed in a pair of sweats and a hoodie before she set about doing some chores around the house. After she put on a load of laundry she went to Alice’s room and tidied it up.

Alice was so like her mother. She was sharp and funny, a hurricane in human form. And they both were slobs. Toys and clothes littered the bedroom floor. The only tidy area in the whole room was Alice’s reading nook that Waverly had asked Uncle Curtis to build. The little beta had been taught by her aunt that reading was so important and while everything should be treated with respect, books were special.

Much to Waverly’s delight, Alice loved to read and be read stories. The omega’s favourite time of day was when she tucked the little girl into bed after she picked out a book for her aunt to read that night.

Once Waverly was done with the child’s room, she went down to kitchen and made their lunches and dinners a couple of days in advance before storing them in the freezer.

If it was up to Wynonna to make their meals, nothing but pizza or Chinese take out would pass the door. Once when Waverly had been ill for a week and unable to plan ahead, she had gotten an angry call from the teacher and the omega had been roundly scolded for sending Alice to school with a 6pack of donuts and a bottle of soda.

In Wynonna’s defence Doc had always made the pup’s lunches and the woman hadn’t known the school’s strict lunch rules so when she had overslept she had pulled into the gas station in desperation when the pup reminded her she needed food. Waverly had given her sister a crash course and Wynonna had sworn she would make her daughter appropriate school lunches. Wynonna was a great Mom but she was the “fun parent” who loved her child ferociously.

The following day Waverly had been woken by her niece’s teacher calling. She shouted down the phone at Waverly because apparently Wynonna had given Alice the same lunch again.

Waverly had been horrified but when she had called her sister, the beta had laughed hard. As it turned out, Wynonna being Wynonna, she and Alice had decided to play a prank and she promised that Alice had a healthy, yummy lunch in her backpack.

Waverly and the teacher hadn’t been amused but over time she would see the funny side. Although as a teacher herself she had felt Mrs Smith’s pain and had apologised profusely to the woman when she had recovered.

Eventually Wynonna got home and inhaled the scent of spaghetti bolognaise wafting through the house.

She gave her sister a hug and went to shower before her pup came home.

Before Wynonna was done Doc and Alice returned. Waverly scooped the pup into her arms as she kissed Doc’s cheek. He was had always been like a brother too her and he gave her one of his twinkling smiles, topped with a bushy moustache.

“You wanna stay for dinner, Doc?” Waverly invited as she often did. They regularly ate together as a family and John Henry Holliday always had a seat at the table.

“Yeah, Papa, stay!” the child begged excitedly.

“I can’t tonight, Darlins, I gotta get back to the City but I will join you in a few days. You know I can’t resist Aunt Waverly’s cooking.” He tickled the pup before kissing her forehead and said goodbye to them both.

After the 3 females ate, Wynonna brought Alice up for a bath before they cuddled up on the couch to watch a Disney movie before bed.

Chapter Text

Waverly brought the last of her things into the Homestead from her jeep. Today was the last day of the school year and Waverly was so relieved. She couldnt wait. She had so many plans for the house and Alice and she could pick up shifts in Shorty’s any day she wished.

Best of all, she was heading to the big city to spend the a long weekend with Chrissy. Waverly had been thinking a lot in the past couple of weeks and had decided that she deserved a break. She couldnt wait for it.

Doc was taking Alice for a couple of days and Wynonna was working so she didn’t need to worry about leaving the two betas alone in the house because that would always leave the Homestead looking like a bomb went off.

Waverly put her things away in the closet so she wouldn’t have to think about school for a month until she was making her lesson plans for the following year’s classes.

She pulled out some outfits and packed her small suitcase, eager to get on the road.

She texted her sister to let her know she was leaving after she took a shower and put on makeup before dressing in a pretty floral sundress.

Waverly and Chrissy planned on going out for dinner and drinks that night, nothing wild, and then they were going to go out to some of Chrissy’s favourite clubs the next. Waverly couldn’t wait to cut loose.

She hopped into her jeep and put on her favourite playlist to sing along to as she drove the 2 hours to the Big City to promptly get stuck in traffic. Within 20 minutes she had moved only 200 yards, her mood souring slightly.

Her phone thrilled, cutting off her music, and she saw Chrissy’s name pop up on the screen.

“Hey! I’m stuck in traffic.” She told the other omega. Her best friend huffed.

“I know, I literally only got home. How long do you think it’s going to take you? I’m starving.”

“GPS is saying 57 minutes.” Waverly huffed. “Should I just meet you at the restaurant?” she asked as the light in front of her turned green and she made to move forward.

“Good idea, I will drop you a p-“ Chrissy was cut off by Waverly letting out an angry growl before the sound of a horn blasted through her phone.

“You, Shit Ticket!”

“Waves, what happened?” Chrissy asked in panic.

“Some Asshole in a limo just cut across me and nearly into me. Dumb ass.” She growled before it turned into a frustrated groan. “and now the light just turned red. I’ll meet you at the restaurant.” She hung up when she saw the back door of the car open and a tall, slim, redheaded woman emerged, dressed in a fitted black suit and a pair of heels that Waverly would never have been able to stand in.

Waverly’s jaw dropped as she took in the woman. She had never seen suck a devastating creature. The woman dripped of confidence as she strode towards Waverly’s jeep in the traffic jam.

Waverly was frozen as she watched the woman come to the driver’s window and wait a moment before she rapped the knuckle of her index finger off the glass.

Waverly let out a little squeak before letting down the window. The scent that pushed its way into the car made the Omega’s skin erupted in goosebumps as the sweet scent of vanilla and pure power drew her wolf in and she felt a shiver roll up her spine as her mouth became dry.

What the fuck was happening?

The woman’s brown, twinkling eyes scanned the omega with concern and once satisfied that Waverly seemed ok, she bit her plump lower lip.

“I do apologise for my driver being a ‘Shit-ticket’, Ma’am. He’s new.” The woman’s voice was soft but deep and there was an undercurrent of amusement in her tone. Were those dimples?

“Oh… that’s OK.” Waverly squeaked again before clearing her throat, flushing with embarrassment. The woman chuckled and Waverly felt something tighten low in her belly.

“Thank you for being so gracious, Miss…” the redhead trailed off

“Um… Waverly.”

“Pretty…” the woman purred and Waverly had the impression the woman wasn’t talking about her name so she went pink. “What exactly is a ‘Shit-ticket’, if you don’t mind me asking?” the redhead enquired.

“Halfway between a Dickhead and an asshole.” Waverly blurted out, reciting one of Wynonna’s lines. She slapped a hand over her mouth as her eyes widened in shock. She really couldn’t understand what this woman’s effect on her was.

The woman let out a surprised snort of laughter as Waverly went beet red.

“I must remember that.” she smirked again. “Have a pleasant evening, Miss Waverly.”

The omega didn’t want this woman to leave but she had to know something.

“How…how did you hear me say it?” Waverly asked as the woman turned away. She looked back over her shoulder and pointed to her ear.

“Alpha hearing. And you really shouted it.” She winked before walking away. Waverly’s eyes widened as she realised what that meant.

She had actually met an Alpha. And that Alpha had a cute butt.

As the woman climbed back into the Limo, she gave Waverly one last smile. The omega was transfixed and didn’t realise the traffic was moving again until someone behind her beeped their horn, startling her and making her jump in her seat.

“Oh my Gods!” she whispered screamed as she moved up in the traffic, trying to see the woman through the blacked out back window of the Limo in front of her but she couldn’t.

When she finally got to the restaurant Chrissy was waiting for her and they hugged before Chrissy’s nose wrinkled.

“What’s that smell?” the blonde omega asked as they sat down.

“I met an Alpha!” Waverly blurted out and her best friend gasped.

“What? Tell me everything.” The other girl demanded with excitement before Waverly proceeded to tell her. When she had finished, Chrissy asked, “what did she look like?”

“Sex on legs. Oh, Chris, she was incredibly beautiful but there was an undercurrent of something predatory in her eyes as she looked at me. Her scent was delicious, it made my body freeze. Her aura was pure power.” Waverly said, thinking again about the woman’s deep dimples as she had smiled.

“Well they do say that Alpha’s have a special effect on omega’s so that could be why, right?” the other omega said.

“Well that could explain why I honestly would have let her have me I’d she had wanted me! Right in the middle of traffic.” Waverly growled before they erupted into laughter together.

“She was that hot?” Waverly’s best friend grinned as she nodded before the conversation moved on.

“How is the new job going?” Waverly asked when the waiter took their orders and left them.

“Good. Really I just do genetic testing and other lab work. There is a huge team of us and we screen for so many different things in the donor’s samples but also on couples doing IVF.”

“Do a lot of people use donors?” Waverly asked, curious to the whole process.

“Yeah I mean a couple of dozen female betas and male and female omegas get inseminated a week with donor sperm.”

“How do you inseminate Omega’s? Don’t they have to be in heat?”

“No,” Chrissy started to explain, “they use a drug that will stimulate egg release but it involves a series of injections. It only makes you fertile for a couple of hours but the Clinic has a fantastic success rate.”

“Amazing.” Waverly was truly fascinated and her mind wondered. Chrissy gave her a curious look.

“Are you interested in getting a donor?” She asked but the brunette scoffed and shook her head.

“I can’t say I ever thought about it.” Waverly paused. “I mean… do they see many single people? Looking to have a baby? Alone?”

“Of course.” Chrissy said. “some have fertility issues and some haven’t had much luck in the romance department but still want a pup. Everyone is different.” She smiled. She knew Waverly had always wanted children and she knew she wouldn’t find anyone decent in Purgatory. “I get a very generous staff discount you could use if you wanted to go that way.”

Waverly’s eyes widened. Could she do that?

“just have a think about it and if you want to even have a consultation I can arrange it.” Chrissy offered and Waverly nodded with a smile before they conversation moved on.

After dinner the pair went to a bar and had a wonderful time drinking and talking. They left their cars and got an Uber to Chrissy’s apartment.

Waverly had a pleasant buzz going on as she was given the house tour by her tipsy friend.

“This is a really nice place, Chrissy.” She praised. It was small but neat and tidy. The other omega waved off the praise before showing her friend to the only bedroom. They had grown up sharing a bed most weekends as they slept over in each others homes.

They both crawled into bed after changing as they continued to chat until they drifted off to sleep.

The following morning, slightly hungover but in good form, they explored the city, shopping and grabbing lunch in a pretty bistro they had come across down a small side street before getting their cars and driving back to the apartment to shower and change before their night out.

Dressed in a skin tight back dress what stopped mid-thigh, her back fully exposed and in ankle boots. Her hair fell down over her shoulders and down her back in wild curls, Waverly was looking forward to going out and dancing with her best friend.

The girls got an uber to a club that Chrissy went to with her friends a few times and they would be meeting some of them at the Glory Hole.

To get to the club the Uber driver had to drive through a street lined on either side with large, Georgian style, red bricked, terrace houses. The footpaths were spotless and tall, pretty trees were planted on the sidewalks.

“Wow…” Waverly breathed out.

“this is the most exclusive neighbourhood in the city.” Chrissy said as her friend looked at the expensive cars lining the road.

Waverly couldn’t help remembering the Alpha from the day before when she saw a couple of limousines. She wondered if the woman lived there. She couldn’t help wishing she had gotten the woman’s name.

When they got to the club it was packed with people dancing to the loud pumping music. They went to the bar and ordered some fruity cocktails before heading to the dance floor.

They had the best time as both men and women had flirted with them and bought them drinks but Waverly had politely declined their advancements has she truly had no interest in any of them.

She was just out to have fun

Chapter Text

Nicole Haught closed the door of the Limo once she had climbed back in and hit the button on the ceiling.

“Lonnie, do watch where you are going please.”

“Yes, Ma’am, I’m sorry.” The driver said before she took her finger off the button.

“Shit-ticket.” She chuckled to herself and glanced out the back of the tinted rear window at the red jeep.

The Alpha had found the driver to be breathtakingly beautiful and her scent had been divine. The omega had smelled of Apple and cinnamon. The woman’s reaction to her had made her wolf perk up. She would have liked to talk with the brunette some more but it hadn’t been an opportune time seeing as they in the middle of the road.

Also, she had a feeling spending too much time with the woman would have been far too tempting.

Shaking her head to herself and blowing out a hard breath, Nicole looked at her phone and huffed before pressing the button again.

“Lonnie, change of plans, please bring me to my parents’ home.” She said.

“Yes, Ma’am.” The driver said before traffic began to move again.

Sighing, Nicole reached for the small drinks fridge and grabbed a bottle of water before logging into her emails.

Nicole was CEO of the international financial group Haught Industries. The business had been created by her grandfather and when he retired early, Nicole’s father took over but due to him doing some unscrupulous things with the company pensions and being sent to prison for a year, Nicole took over the company 2 years ago and put the business back on the right track. The 33 year old woman was smart with strong morals and ethics she inherited from her grandfather.

While her grandfather was the patriarch of the family, her father loved to throw his weight around and regularly tried to challenge the 80 year old man but out of respect for her favourite person Nicole would put her sire back in his place. As the only female Alpha in the family she was the strongest but she would never challenge her grandfather.

Connor Haught would tell his granddaughter daily that she should take the mantle as the families head Alpha but she refused. She didn’t need that stress and she loved the man too much. He might he old but he was still strong.

She had very little to do with her father. Nicholas Haught was a brute who thought that as an Alpha he was entitled to do or say what ever he wanted. He had no respect for anyone and it sickened him to have a female Alpha child as he knew she would grow up to be stronger than him. He wasn’t as strong as his father.

He had tried to keep Nicole down as a pup, dominating her and beating her but when her grandfather had discovered what his son was doing Connor had shown up at his son’s house and beat the ever loving shit out of Nicholas before taking Nicole home with him and she never went back.

She had two brothers, Tommy and Nick junior, who were too like her father for her to be close with them and her brothers were disgusted that their sister had been given the reins of the company and while they both had jobs in the family business, Nicole gave them low-level positions because she didn’t trust them or her father.

The businesses shareholders had been reluctant to keep a Haught as CEO but Connor had managed to convince them that Nicole was as invested in the future of the company as he was and he asked them to give her a chance as he had made all of them exceptionally wealthy. They had eventually relented but Nicole had agreed to be monitored closely.

Nicole sighed when she got to her parents palatial estate outside the City and put her phone in her pocket.

When Lonnie parked the Limo outside in the court yard Nicole climbed out of the vehicle and huffed as she looked ah the doorway to the house. She was about to walk to it when she heard another car coming up the long driveway and turned to look, smiling when she saw her grandfather’s town car.

She waved as the car pulled up and walked to the back before opening the door of the car and smiled.

“Hey, Pops.” She smiled and held her hand out to help him out.

The tall, thin octogenarian beamed at his granddaughter and put his hand through the crook of her elbow and used his other to lean on his cane.

“Any idea what this is about?” the man said, his voice hoarse and tired.

“I thought you called this family meeting?” the redheaded woman question, confused, and the man gave her the same expression.

“Your sire called me and told me you had. I found it odd he would call me instead of you but I figured you were busy at the office.”

She and her grandfather still lived together in their redbrick townhouse but with the woman’s huge work load and hectic schedule they would sometimes go days without seeing each other or speaking but Nicole always made sure he was OK, checking with the nurses that came by every day and the butler and maid checked on him regularly too.

Connor was very healthy for his age and active but he still needed some help with day to day tasks.

The pair were let into the house by the butler and were shown to the living room where Nicole’s mother, Miriam, sat waiting for them and she stood to kiss her daughters cheek and hugged her.

“Are you eating? You feel like you’ve lost weight.” The omega said with concern before she kissed Connor's cheek. Miriam missed her daughter terribly and wished her mate would have been kinder to their first child but Nicolas always ignored her pleas.

“I’m fine, Mom, I’m just busy with work. I promise I’m eating.” Nicole smiled. She met her mother as often as she could for lunch in the city but it had been a while.

“You work too hard.” Miriam scolded lovingly before Tommy, her youngest child came in and scowled when he saw his sister.

“Ugh what are you doing here?” he growled while Nicole rolled her eyes and their mother tutted.

“Tommy, stop it, your sister is welcome here always.” She growled at her blond haired son.

“That’s not what Father says.” The boy sneered. “Besides she acts like she’s better than all of us.”

“Shut up, Boy.” Connor growled and the young Alpha sank back into the sofa before the room fell into an awkward silence and Nicole helped Connor take a seat in an over stuffed arm chair and sat on the arm.

A few moments later Nicolas and Nick Junior entered the room and the older Alpha sneered at his father and daughter. He was pleased they had obeyed him and come to the house even though he had lied. It served to massage his ego to see them there at his behest.

“Ah. Good you’re here.” The arrogant man said while Miriam and Nicole rolled their eyes.

“Do you plan on telling us what we are here for?” Connor asked, sounding bored as his son walked around to the fire place with his hands behind his back.

“I have been thinking-“

“Oh, bet that hurt.” Nicole muttered and Connor gave her a smirk as Nicolas growled.

“Do not interrupt me!” the redheaded man growled but stopped when his daughter arched a brow at him and he averted his eyes. Connor put a hand on his granddaughter’s forearm.

“Get on with it, Son. I’m not getting any younger.” He said.

“Fine. It is about time all of my children had mates as the family line needs to continue and an heir needs to be born for the company. A new Haught Alpha.” Nicholas said.

Nicole and Connor shared a glance while Miriam looked at her mate in surprise.

“What are you talking about? They have plenty of time to meet someone and mate. The boys are in their 20s and Nicole is-“

“Nicole is a female.” He said with contempt. “we don’t need to risk more female Alphas in the family. However, I do want them all to have their fertility tested.”

“Excuse me?” Connor huffed. “who are you to make such decisions. It’s a personal matter for each of them. And as for female Alphas, my sire was a female and I am proud Nicole will rule this family after me.”

Nicholas scowled at his father. “It’s an embarrassment.” He growled but he averted his eyes when his daughter stood up and growled at him.

“The embarrassment is you. A man who stole from the company and its employees, sent to prison and still has the audacity to act like he does.” She said, challenge in her tone. Her father was a weak Alpha and he knew it. He exposed his neck slightly and that brought an end to the conversation.

Nicole bent and kissed her mother’s cheek, “I’ll call you tomorrow.” She said before she reached down to help her grandfather stand.

“I wish to hear no more about this, Nicholas.” Connor said before he and his granddaughter left the room.

“Ride with me.” The old man said when they got to the cars and Nicole nodded before sending Lonnie back to the City without her and climbed into the Town car.

“What do you make of that?” the Male Alpha asked as the car moved off and Nicole snorted.

“Very little.” She answered. “You?”

“Well, I would like to see you with a mate and some pups. You haven’t been with anyone since Shae but your mother is right. You work too hard and you should have someone you want to leave the office to spend time with . I don’t care if you can or do have children but I hate to see you alone.” He patted her leg.

Nicole was surprised by the image of the brunette from the traffic jam flashing in her mind and cleared her throat before smiling at her grandfather.

“You know the handover and Nicholas’s fuck up left things in shambles and its taking time to get it back on track which means I’m currently spending all my time in board meetings and at my desk but as soon as I’m able I will be taking a vacation. I think I might go camping.”

Connor smiled and rolled his eyes affectionately before they both fell into a comfortable silence.

When they got back to their Georgian townhouse Nicole wished her grandfather a good evening and went to the top floor of the 4 story building.

Her bedroom, office and Gym were there and she walked into her bedroom with was decorates in warm tones and began to strip out of her bespoke suit before kicking her heels off. When she was naked, she walked into her ensuite bathroom and turned on her shower.

This was her favourite time of day. She would stand under the huge shower head and let her muscles relax under the hot water as she turned her mind off.

This time however she couldn’t help thinking about the events of that evening.

Did she want a mate and pups? Of course but she had to admit many Alpha’s were infertile or had difficulty impregnating omegas. She and her brothers had been conceived through IVF but realistically that didn’t mean she could impregnate an omega.

Maybe she should book in with a Clinic, just to check if she could sire children? At least she would know then.

Getting out of the shower, the redhead dried her long, lean body with a fluffy towel before crawling into her bed and dell asleep.

Chapter Text

Waverly growled in frustration as the coffee maker didn’t turn on. She hadn’t slept well and needed caffeine.

She thumped it on top and let out a happy huff as it turned on. She heard her niece giggle and smiled over her shoulder at the little girl.

“It just needed some persuading.” Waverly winked. “Waffles?” she asked the pup and Alice grinned at her aunty.

“With maple syrup and chocolate chips!”

“It’s one or the other, Alice, otherwise your teeth will fall out of your head.” Waverly said.

“maple syrup with blueberries.” The little brunette decided and Waverly nodded.

“My favourite.” The omega said with a smile and pulled out the waffle maker from under the counter.

After breakfast Waverly helped Alice pick out an outfit for the warm day before she loaded the child into her jeep and headed for her aunt and uncle’s home on the other side of town.

When they arrived at the beautiful log farmhouse with its expansive greenhouses and the colourful flowerbeds, a paddock to the left with Gus and Curtis’s horses. Waverly and Alice got out of the jeep and the pup ran to find her great uncle and Waverly went inside the farmhouse.

“Gus?” she called out and heard her aunt tell her she was in the kitchen.

Waverly loved this house. Some if her happiest childhood memories were here and as she grew up she felt safe and loved here. She hugged her aunt and exchanged pleasantries before the beta handed her a peeler and told her to peel the potatoes Curtis had left on the counter as they chatted.

“Angel, I need you to work tonight, is that OK? The new guy is useless and I’m sure Shorty is going to fire him today “

“Sure, Wy will be finished at 6 so she can meet us at the saloon to take Alice home.”

“Thank you. So tell me, are you going to go back to the City anytime soon?” the older woman asked and Waverly shrugged.

“I’m thinking about it.” Waverly smiled. She had been truthful. The omega had had so much fun in the City with her friend and she had also been thinking a great deal about Chrissy’s offer too.

She was extremely tempted.

The thought of a pup of her own, possibly being a mother within a year made her heart flutter and her wolf purr. She hadn’t mentioned anything to her aunt or sister yet as she was afraid they would try to talk her out of it.

When she had finished helping her aunt prep lunch she went to the greenhouse to find her Uncle and Niece.

Alice was sitting on a work bench eating one of her uncles delicious tomatoes that he lovingly grew all ear round as the man filled pots with compost.

Curtis was a huge man, tall and broad with a gut and a huge beard. As her aunt joked, Curtis McCready wasn’t much to look at but they loved each other dearly and the male beta was a jovial, kind person who loved his family with everything he had.

Waverly and Curtis had always had a special bond. Her uncle was the one who instilled a love of history in her by telling her the most fascinating stories when she was a child and he was who Waverly always went to when she felt she couldn’t speak to anyone else.

She kissed her niece’s forehead and told her that Gus had some cookies for her, smiling as the pup hopped off the bench and ran to the house as Waverly and Curtis chuckled.

The beta and omega hugged, Curtis keeping his dirty hands away from her.

“Can I ask your advice on something?” Waverly asked him and he nodded.

“Sure, Angel, what’s on your mind?” he said, wiping his hands on the old rag beside him.

“I need you to promise you won’t say anything to Gus or Nonna.” She said and the mans face filled with concern

“Are you alright?” he asked and his niece nodded.

“Yes. I am but I’m thinking about doing something and I want your opinion.” She said and the man nodded for her to continue. Waverly bit her lip as she took a deep breath. “I’m considering using a donor to get pregnant.” She said hurriedly and Curtis frowned.

“Why? Waverly, you have plenty of time to meet someone and have a child. Why would you want to do it alone?” He asked.

“I don’t have any luck in relationships, Curtis, and I don’t want to meet someone and have to wait and then it doesn’t work out. I don’t want to wait years to have a baby when I can do it now and maybe meet someone down the line.”

Curtis was deep in thought as he went back to his potting. His silence made the omega nervous but before she could say anything else he sighed and nodded.

“Angel, if this is what you want, you know we will all support you. I just want you to be happy.” He said and Waverly grinned before hugging him tight, a weight taken off her shoulders.

“Please don’t say anything until after I’m pregnant. I love Gus but I know she will try to talk me out of it and I can’t listen to Wynonna’s jokes.” She said and the bet chuckled.

“I won’t. Do you need money for the Clinic? I can help you out?”

“No, Chrissy offered me her staff discount and I have enough savings.” She was so relieved to have his support.

Until now she hadn’t made a decision but after talking about it, out loud, with her Uncle had given her what she needed to do so.

She walked out of the greenhouse and pulled her phone out to call Chrissy before she lost her nerve.

“Hey, Waves!” the other omega chirped when she appeared on screen, her voice echoing slightly in her large lab.

“Hey, Chrissy. Quick question. Is the offer of your discount still on the table?” she asked and the blond omega broke into a wide grin.

“Of course!” she said excitedly. “let me know when you want to come in to chose a donor and some tests.”

“I’ll text you later when I know what day I’m free if that’s OK?” Waverly asked and her friend nodded excitedly before they said goodbye.

Later that evening, after speaking with Shorty, Wynonna and Doc she figured out what dates she could slip away and text Chrissy to tell her she would be there in a week to spend a few days in the City with her friend as well as get started on her journey.

As the days went on, she was jittery and excited. Everyone close to her could tell something was up with the omega who assured them all she was totally fine, she was just excited to go to the City again.

When the day came for her to leave, she put Alice in her booster seat and drove them to the City where she would deliver the pup to her sire. Alice would spend a couple of days with Doc and Waverly would pick her up on the way back to Purgatory

The whole way to the City the pair sang along with Waverly’s 90s playlist which was full of songs Alice had developed a love for.

When she got to the City she drove to Doc’s apartment building and smiled when the pup cheered when she saw her Papa outside eagerly awaiting her arrival.

“Hello, Baby Girls,” he said with delight as his daughter jumped into his arms and Waverly kissed his cheek.

“Papa, can we go to the movies?” the pup asked and Doc smiled at her lovingly.

“Of course we can. Now say goodbye to your Aunty Waves and we will go to McDonalds for lunch.”

The adults smiled as the pup cheered and Waverly said goodbye. She got into her jeep and entered in the name of Chrissy’s clinic into the GPS with shaking hands.

She parked outside the clinic and took a deep breath as she looked up at the white building with its big windows and got out of the jeep. Inside the pristine, white reception area she went to the desk and said she was there to see Chrissy Nedley.

The man at the desk smiled and told her to take a seat as he called up to the lab.

When Chrissy appeared the Omegas shared a tight hug before the taller one led Waverly to a consultation room where a small Omega with dark skin and a bright smile was waiting for her.

“Waves, this is Dr Jeremy Chetri, he’s going to be your consultant on this. I asked him especially.” Chrissy said before Waverly gave him a smile.

“It’s so nice to meet you, Waverly, Chrissy has told me so much about you!” the man said excitedly and Waverly instantly felt relaxed before he showed her to the seat in front of his desk and picked up a tablet as Chrissy left Waverly in his capable hands.

“So have you given an thought to what type of Donor you would like? We have many wonderful Betas on the books.” The man started. “this is our database and we can put in your preferences to filter out those who don’t suit.”

“Oh.” Waverly said. “I haven’t give much thought to the donor, I’ve been more excited by the prospect of motherhood.” She giggled nervously.

“No worries. I’ll give you some examples. If you would prefer someone who’s taller than average, someone who’s got a PhD, a certain coloured hair or eyes. We screen for all major diseases but some things might come through however we are going to do the same tests on you and Chrissy is going to so a rush on them so if you are a carrier for something and if you aren’t suited with someone you choose we can go with your second.”

“that sounds good. Looks don’t really matter to much so I don’t mind hair or eye colour. I am really short so I think someone tall might be good? I would like someone intelligent so maybe if PhD is an option...” she said, biting her lip

“Well the less picky you are, the more options you have.” Jeremy smiled before putting in her criteria she had Said before handing her the tablet. “Let me take your blood and send it to the lab while you look.”

Waverly flipped through the profiles and was surprised by the calibre of the donors. There was a number of Medical Doctors, some college professors, lots of nurses, chefs, and men from dozens of other fields. Jeremy showed her how to remove them if she didn’t like their profiles before she went back to the start and took a closer look at their pictures.

She knew what they looked like wasn’t of much consequence but with so many to chose from that met her other criteria she needed to find someway to narrow them down so she decided to chose the 3 that she found the most attractive. Ot took her a while and eventually she chose a 6’5, PhD candidate with blue eyes and brown hair who had a nice smile and looked fit, a 6’2 blond, green eyed biologist with a chiselled and another 6’2 black man with a shaved head and enchanting Amber eyes who was a surgeon.

“What do you think about this guy?” she showed Jeremy the first man and he grinned before looking at his height.

“6’5? Big guy.”

“Yeah, maybe he’s too big? I don’t want to give birth to a giant baby. Could I ask Chrissy to come back? I need a second opinion.”

Jeremy nodded and Waverly sent her a text. When she joined them the blonde woman excitedly read through the profiles.

“Waverly, you have really good taste!” she grinned before her friend scoffed.

“I think my dating history might beg to differ.”

Chrissy held up the screen with the last man on it and pointed at him. “as if you would have ever gotten into bed with Champ the Chump if this Adonis was knocking around Purgatory. He’s yummy!”

Waverly smiled affectionately as her friend moved to the first man and shook her head. “6’5? Nope. You ever see when you reheat a lasagne in the microwave for too long and it’s bubbles over and kinda explodes?”

“Yeah?” both Waverly and Jeremy said after sharing a look.

“What’s literally what your vagina will look like if you have a natural birth.”

Waverly blanched before shivering and shaking her head. “Yeah, no. He’s gone. I have no idea which one but,” she reached for her bag and dug around until she found a coin.

“Heads is the surgeon, tails is the biologist.” She said before flicking it into the air and caught it. “Heads!” she smiled and looked at the others. Jeremy nodded and took the tablet.

“OK, we will do your tests and let you know if your first or second choice is most compatible. We can start your injections today and you will get two today and two tomorrow before insemination the day after that. Sound OK?” Jeremy asked and Waverly nodded and let out a shaky breath.

“Oh this is exciting.” Chrissy cooed before Jeremy printed out the forms Waverly needed to sign.

Chapter Text

Nicole woke up at 6 am, dressed in lyrca gym shorts and a sports bra and made her way to her Gym for her morning work out and during warm up her best friends Eliza and Xavier arrived and she jumped off her treadmill to fist bump them in greeting.

Every morning the 3 Alphas practised Mixed Martial Arts together and had done since they met in classes as teens. Xavier Dolls went on to be an amateur MMA fighter and Eliza was a gym instructor and as they were all strong and skilled, they never held back.

They climbed into the ring that took up half of Nicole’s private gym. They wrapped up each others hands before the blonde woman and black man began their warm up as Nicole practiced some kicks.

“First to tap out buys the booze tomorrow night.” Eliza said with a wink and pointed to Nicole. “you are coming out tomorrow, right?”

“I promise. I need a night out.” Nicole said. She had had a lot on her mind the past couple of weeks and needed to cut loose.

The 3 of them walked to the centre of the ring and stacked their right hands before they began to spar.

Nicole couldn’t help thinking what her sire had suggested over the past couple of weeks and had made an appointment for later that day at the fertility clinic. She needed to know.

She wanted a family someday and as an Alpha she was hardwired to want her own biological children and if that wasn’t possible then she needed time to come to terms with that. If she met Miss Right, she want her to know. She knew if they adopted she would love the child dearly but she would prefer to have her own. It was an Alpha thing, driven by her inner wolf.

Dolls was the first to tap out after Nicole put him in a head lock and then Eliza got her in the stomach with a kick that sent her into the ropes.

“Good one.” The redhead grunted as Eliza held out a hand to help her up as she chuckled.

“You are totally distracted, you would never normally leave yourself open to a kick like that. What’s up?” the other woman asked as they moved to sit on the side of the ring with their water bottles.

“Ah you know how it is with the business and everything. I’m exhausted so I can’t wait to empty Dolls’s bank account tomorrow night with a big bottle of tequila.” She said teasingly and nudged the man who huffed with a smile.

After her friends left, Nicole went to her room and took a long, hot shower before dressing in a navy suit and her most comfortable heels. She hated having to dress so professionally every day but it came with the territory.

Downstairs in the kitchen she made herself some toast and coffee before checking on her grandfather who was reading the paper in his room. They wished each other good morning before she went outside to the Limo waiting on the street.

“Good morning, Lonnie.” She said to her beta driver holding the door open and the man tipped his uniform house.

“Good morning, Ma’am.”

“I need you to pick me up at noon at the office.” She said before climbing into the car. She hated being driven around but as her grandfather always reminded her, appearances were everything in their business.

When they arrived at Haught Industries she walked through the lobby, politely greeting anyone who spoke to her and ignoring the looks she got from the omega staff.

Nicole knew the effect she had on omega’s, every Alpha did, but she never took advantage of it and she certainly never slept with her staff. That was a headache she preferred to avoid.

She went to her office on the top floor of the building, was handed her itinerary by her assistant, Ambrose, and smiled at her cousin, Mercedes, who was sitting in front of her desk.

“Hey, Cedes, what are you doing here? I didn’t know we had an appointment.” She said as she sat down.

Mercedes was the attorney for the company and a fellow redhead but she was an omega with a sharp mind and a quick wit.

“We didn’t but I wanted to check in with you. I’ve heard through the family grape vine that Nicholas is pushing you all to mate and I wanted to make sure you were OK?” the older woman asked.

“Oh I’m fine. You know I don’t put much stock in what the idiot says. But I did make an appointment to test my fertility. Just so I know either way.” She said, a little awkwardly. Mercedes and her Mate Kate were unable to conceive as Kate was an infertile Alpha but Mercedes wasn’t the Maternal woman so she wasn’t upset.

“Good idea. But maybe actually get out there and find a mate! You only ever sleep with rut assistances when you’re in rut but you are too much of a sweetheart to be alone.” Her cousin said and her eyes lit up. “I could set you up with someone!”

“Oh Gods, no!” Nicole laughed. “the last woman you set me up was terrifying!”

Mercedes scoffed. “when you get sick of the single life, do let me know.”

They caught up for another few minutes before Nicole had to leave for a meeting.

When the time came for her to leave for the Clinic she left the building and frowned as she realised Lonnie wasn’t waiting for her.

“Shit-ticket” she muttered to herself and her lips twitched slightly into a smile as she thought once again about that pretty brunette from the traffic jam. She had to admit she had thought about the woman more than once. She was the perfect mix of beautiful and down right adorable and Nicole couldn’t help wishing she had asked the woman out to dinner. Waverly.

She considered trying to find the woman via social media but she always stopped herself. The last thing she wanted was to appear like a stalker.

She called Lonnie and growled when he answered and mumbled sleepily.

“Lonnie, what the fuck? Were you asleep?” she said angrily.

“Sorry, Ma’am. I’m in the carpark, I’ll be there in a moment.” He hung up on her and Nicole huffed before calling Ambrose.

“Hey, Boss, everything ok?” the beta asked brightly. She really liked the man and he was a fantastic assistant.

“Do me a favour and find me a new chauffeur.” She said as she saw Lonnie pulling around the corner. “preferably someone who isn’t a lazy idiot.” The man on the phone chuckled

“I’m surprised he’s lasted this long.” The man snorted down the line. “I’ll make some calls.”

“Thank you, Hon.” She said gratefully as she opened the Limo door and sat in. “Lonnie.” She growled when she hit the intercom button, “Bring me to the Willows clinic and try not to cause a fucking accident.”

“Yes, Ma’am, sorry, Ma’am.” He muttered.

Nicole let her head fall back heavily on the head rest.

When she got to the building she let herself out and told Lonnie to stay awake before she went inside and spoke to the man at the reception desk before taking a seat.

Her wolf perked up as she smelled the delicious scent of Apple pie. Again the image of that small brunette flashed in her mind and she shook her head before a small dark skinned man came out and called her name.

“Hi, I’m Dr Chetri.” The omega said as Nicole shook his hand before following him to his office. The smell of Apple pie was stronger in the office and she tried to ignore it, assuming it was an air freshener or something. “You are here for fertility testing?”

“Yes and Genetic testing if I am fertile.” She said.

“Have you been trying to have a pup with your Mate?” the man asked as he looked at his tablet.

“I’m single but i think it would be a good idea to find out what my status was before I met someone.” She said and the omega nodded before asking her a series of health questions.

When he finished filling out the medical forms he handed her a plastic cup before leading her to a private room.

“There is some magazines and uh... DVDs in here.” He said a little awkwardly and Nicole went into it.

There was a large TV on the wall and a stack of magazines but she didn’t want to touch those. Instead she pulled her phone out of her pocket to watch her favourite porn.

It took a while but she eventually filled the cup and cleaned herself up before leaving the room to go back to Dr Chetri’s office.

He took the cup and told her he would call her in a few days with the result.

When Lonnie took her home, she got out of the Limo and went to the drivers window. Lonnie pulled down the window nervously as she looked down at him.

“You are fired, Lonnie.” She said and the man nodded and hung his head.

“Yes, Ma’am.” He nodded. He always got fired. She nodded and walked up the steps of her home.

She was going to take the rest of the day off and rest.

Chapter Text

Waverly sat in Chrissy's bathroom on the side of the tub after taking the test to see if she had ovulated while her friend was brushing her teeth.

Waverly felt itchy and hot like when she was close to her heat but Chrissy assured her that was normal and she chuckled as the smaller woman squirmed.

“You’ll feel so much better in a few hours, Waves.” She said as she looked at the test. “You’re ovulating.” She smiled and Waverly gave her a nervous giggle.

“I’m ovulating.” She whispered. “Do you think it is gonna work?” she asked nervously and Chrissy gave her a hug.

“Yes, Waves, I do. You are going to be the best mom.” The blond woman said.

They left in Chrissy’s car and went to the Clinic where Jeremy met them and gave Waverly a big smile.

“are you ready?” he asked her as they entered his office and she nodded nervously. “Great. I’ll go and get your donor's sample. It’s in Chrissy’s lab. Chrissy, can you get Ms Earp ready?” he asked and left when his colleague said she would.

Chrissy told Waverly to take off her pants and underwear and to get up on the bed, put her feet in the stirrups while Chrissy covered her with a paper blanket before she took the other girl’s hand and gave it a squeeze. “Ready?”

“As I’ll ever be.” Waverly breathed out.

“Have you thought of any names yet?” Chrissy asked.

“Not yet. I think I’m going to wait until I find out if they are male or female.”

Two floors up Dr Chetri went to the sample storage and took out the donor sample he had placed in there an hour before. He turned to leave and bumped into a lab assistance, Jeremy dropping his sample pot before apologising to the woman and scooped it up off the floor with a relieved smile.

Neither of them saw the Waverly’s donors actual sample roll under the counter. What he had actually picked up was a sample pot that had been on the assistances tray and she had been to distracted by the collision to notice she had dropped one.

He hurried back to his office and smiled at Waverly as he held up the sample.

“One fresh pot of baby batter.” Chrissy joked to her friend as the man filled the applicator.

Waverly smelled a rich scent of vanilla and found it calming but she was too distracted by what was to happen to notice that there wasn’t a source.

When Jeremy told her to relax and take a deep breath, Waverly gripped Chrissy’s hand tighter as he inserted the applicator, making her flinch.

“You are all done.” He said after a few moments.

“That’s it?” Waverly asked in surprise as Chrissy put an arm around her shoulders.

“Yep. Now you lie back for an hour, relax and let those little swimmers do their thing.” He patted her knee and gave her a supportive smile. “have a little snooze if you feel like it, no one will disturb you.”

“I’ll try, I didn’t sleep much last night.”

“Do you mind if I leave you to rest while I check in with the Lab? I’ll be back to take you back to mine.” Chrissy asked her and Waverly nodded. Now it was done the smaller omega finally felt her body relax and closed her eyes as Jeremy and Chrissy left her alone.

Chrissy went to her lab and checked in with her staff. She saw her colleague, Bethany, looking though the specialised storage fridge where the Alpha fertility test samples were kept before they were tested.

“Everything ok?” Chrissy asked and the brunette frowned.

“I can’t find a sample that I’m supposed to test?” the beta said in confusion. “I can’t find it.”

Chrissy frowned. Samples didn’t go missing here. Everything was monitored carefully and with some of the wealthiest clientele in the country everything had to be perfect.

“That’s odd. Did you check the CO2 room?” that’s where all the samples were kept until testing, frozen with dry ice until they were needed.

“Yeah and the other fridges. It’s gone.” The woman said.

“Shit.” The omega muttered and picked up the beta’s tablet. “I’ll check the logs.... OK according to this it should be here. It must have been misplaced. Shit, shit, shit.” She called Jeremy and asked him to meet them in the lab while they continued to look.

When the man arrived he too was confused. They had never had something like this happen before.

“what are we going to do?” Bethany asked sounding worried and Jeremy frowned. All their jobs were on the line if this got to the higher ups of the clinic. The 3 of them fell into silence before Chrissy huffed.

“Jeremy, call the client, tell them the container was defective and we can’t test the sample due to contamination. Get them back in to redo it and apologise.” She said and the 2 others nodded and smiled in relief.

The man nodded and left to make the call. The woman who had given that sample seemed nice so he hoped she wouldn’t be upset.

When he called her he was relieved when the woman didn’t question him and said she would be in later that day to redo the sample and he sighed in relief when he hung up.

He and Chrissy then went back to Waverly who was asleep on the table.

“I really hope it works for her. She’s the sweetest and kindest person I know.” Chrissy whispered affectionately as Jeremy nodded.

“She’s in peak health and there is absolutely no indication that she will have problems conceiving.” He smiled.

Chrissy woke her friend gently and told her she was going to bring her home and she was to spend the rest of the day relaxing while Chrissy went back to work after they had lunch.

As Waverly spent the day on the couch, watching some of her favourite movies with her hand resting low on her stomach and she imagined a baby growing in her womb.

She wondered what they would look like, what they would be. She went online and found a store with lots of baby items and began to put stuff in the cart and planned to purchase them if the insemination worked.

When Chrissy came home from work Waverly took her out to dinner to say thank you for helping her with everything. The other omega was just so happy for her friend and begged her to call her as soon as she took a pregnancy test at 6 weeks and promised to keep her fingers crossed.

Waverly swore that Chrissy would be the first to know.

The following morning before Waverly picked Alice up, she stopped at a pharmacy and bought a twin pack of pregnancy tests as if she bought them in Purgatory the rumour mill would explode.

When she collected the pup they headed home where Wynonna greeted them enthusiastically, delighted to see them both. She was so bored at home without her two favourite people.

Alice told them all about the places Doc had taken her like the zoo and the movies amongst others. The adults smiled as they listened before Waverly went to Shorty’s to work a shift after Gus text her to ask if the omega could cover her as she was feeling under the weather.

When the omega arrived at the saloon she greeted Shorty before groaning as Champ came in behind her and sat at the bar.

“Miss me yet?” he smirked as he looked her up and down. She gave him a blank look before walking to the other end of the bar. “Hey? I was talking to you!” he growled, insulted, as he got up to follow her.

“Champ, leave her alone!” Shorty snarled.

“Shut the fuck up, ya old bastard.” The younger beta snarled. “where the fuck were you, Waverly? You should have been here with me!”

Waverly reached under the bar and pulled out the shot gun that Gus kept under the bar and pointed it at the beta who smelled worse than normal.

“Champ, why don’t you do your drinking in Pussy Willows for the next little while so I don’t have to see you.” The omega said as she cocked the gun.

“He got barred from there for getting handsy.” Shorty snorted.

“of course he did.” Waverly said. “Well, I don’t have any patience for you tonight.”

“Give me some money, Babe, you owe me for the barbecue.” Champ put his hand out.

“Sorry, Champ,” Waverly shrugged, still pointing the gun at the man. “I’m all tapped out. Now get out.”

The beta growled and slapped the bar. “Give me money or I’m going to slash your tires.”

Waverly rolled her eyes.

“Champ!” she heard and saw Sheriff Nedley coming into the bar. “Tell me you didn’t just threatened Waverly’s property.

“She crushed my grill.” The younger beta whined.

“Aint no proof it was her. Get lost and if anything happens to Waverly or her property I will be hauling your ass in.” The lawman growled before they watched Champ stomp out of the bar like a petulant toddler. Waverly put the gun back under the bar and gave the Sheriff a smile.

“How was your trip to the city?” he asked. “How’s Chrissy?”

“She’s great. City life suits her and she loves her job.” Waverly reassured him as she made him a coffee. “it was nice to get away and spend some time with her.”

Waverly knew Nedley missed his daughter terribly and she suspected he got awfully lonely in the evenings being by himself in the house.

The rest of the omega’s shift went smoothly and she was pleasantly distracted from thinking about her possible pregnancy but it came to the forefront of her mind when she had a moment to breath.

When she got home that night she showered before she checked on Alice, smiling softly when she saw the pup was sleeping peacefully. Waverly went to her room and crawled into bed, happy to be back in her own little nest but she suddenly wished she had someone to spoon her.

She chuckled a little before curling up. Her wolf had been a little needy all day as her emotions were sky high and the beast was as hopeful as Waverly about getting pregnant but they both wished they had someone to snuggle into.

The omega’s mind wandered again to the Alpha she had seen weeks ago in that traffic jam. At least once a day that Goddess in her fitted suit appeared in her mind wearing that cocksure smirk. It should be illegal to be that hot.

Waverly rolled on to her stomach and slipped her hand down into her panties and let out a quiet moan as she ran her fingers through her lips, spreading her juices before she started to grind on her long fingers.

She imagined, for the first time, the woman pulling her out of the car and pushing her onto the bonnet on her stomach, lifting up the omega’s sundress she had been wearing that day and letting out a possessive growl before pulling down her own zipper and releasing herself.

She imagined the woman pinning Waverly’s arms behind her back as she used her other hand to guide herself into the brunettes swollen and dripping cunt. Hard and fast as she whimpered wantonly.

The fantasy had her body burning as she envisioned the woman aggressively fucking her into the car.

“Oh Gods!” she groaned as she imagined the woman’s knot forming and locking them together as nature intended. The woman filled her full of her hot cum with every thrust into Waverly’s pussy.

“Fuck!” she hissed as she came harder than she ever had before, her body spasming as she collapsed and pulled her hand out of her pants and sucked her fingers clean of herself before she fell asleep, her body heavy and pleasantly loose.

Chapter Text

Waverly’s eyes shot open and she pulled her duvet off herself before she jumped off the bed and ran out of her bedroom, down the stairs and into the bathroom.

The omega fell to her knees in front of the toilet and threw up. Her stomach heaved and her eyes watered before she immediately felt better and sat back against the bath as she reached for a towel to wipe her mouth.

“Oh gods...” she groaned before her eyes widened. Could this be morning sickness? She crawled to the sink and opened the unit underneath it to search for the pregnancy test she had hidden in the back.

She locked the door and ripped open the pack, taking a deep breath before peeing on the stick. Her hands shook as she put the cap back on and put the test on the back of the toilet while she cleaned herself up.

She had been inseminated just over 4 weeks before hand and she had been anxiously waiting for some sign it might of worked.

She tried to remind herself that it was way too early to tell and to not be disappointed if it says she wasn’t pregnant. Her hands were shaking as she waited the 2 minutes and each of those 120 seconds felt like an eternity.

Maybe it wasn’t morning sickness, maybe she was coming down with a stomach bug she thought as she always picked up something when she went back to school after the summer and heard a knock on the door.

“Waves, are you ok?” she heard Wynonna ask and bit back a squeak before hiding the test under the stack of towels beside the bath before she opened the door.

“Hey, yeah, I think I ate something funny at Shorty’s last night.” The omega said and her sister snorted.

“Maybe it’s morning sickness.” The beta teased and Waverly let out an awkward chuckle. “anyway, move, I gotta pee.”

Waverly nodded and went to the kitchen to make herself a cup of herbal tea and some toast before she showered.

‘What a way to start the first day of school’ she thought to herself with a chuckle before she grabbed her phone and her clothes before going back to the bathroom and locking the door before retrieving the test and took a deep breath before turning it over and letting out a happy sob.

There was a plus sign on the display and the omega’s eyes filled with tears of joy.

She was pregnant. She had a pup inside her.

She showered and prepared to go back to work. She missed her students and her day job but she had used her summer wisely.

She and Curtis repanelled the Homestead with the help of Shorty and Doc and the house had never looked better. Her uncle had dug a flower bed on both sides of the porch steps and Gus had helped her plant a colourful array of flowers.

She had gotten Mattie the Black Smith to take away the old lynch gate to take off the years of rust, paint and repair it and when it was reinstalled she had planted more flowers around the posts.

Wynonna had built a fire pit and Curtis built them a swing bench and some chairs for around it.

The only thing left to do was renovate the barn but that could wait. She chuckled to herself as she thought about playing with her pup in front of the pretty little home.

She prepared breakfast as Wynonna got Alice ready for her first day in 1st grade and took some photos before they had pancakes for breakfast together and both the adults drove to the elementary school, Alice in Waverly’s jeep as Wynonna was on her motorbike.

The sisters hugged the pup and sent her into school before they said goodbye before they left for work.

When Waverly pulled up to the school, she saw her work bestie, Rosita, waving at her from the sidewalk.

“Hey, Waves, how was your summer?” the beta gave her a hug but before Waverly could reply, Rosita pulled back and regarded her closely. “What’s different about you?”

Waverly shook her head and chuckled. “Nothing. How was South America?” Rosita had spent the summer travelling around the continent on a dream vacation.

“Wonderful! You would love it!” Rosita grinned. “the history and different cultures were incredible.” The Spanish teacher said as they brought their belongings into the school as Rosita told her about her trip through the different countries.

They promised to catch up more over lunch and when Classes started Waverly welcomed her students back warmly and didn’t give them any homework on their first day back. The omega was in such a good mood she glowed as she gave them the year's lesson plans and gave them all study guides before assuring them her door was always open.

Miss Earp was one of the favourite teachers in the school because she was kind and patient with those who were struggling but tolerated no nonsense from her students.

When she was finally on her way home she called Chrissy.

“Hey, Waves!” The other omega chirped over facetime, smiling down the screen at her friend from the phone stand as Waverly drove.

“Hey, Chrissy. I have news!” the omega said, grinning as she kept her eyes on the road. “I took a test...”

Chrissy eyes widened and she gasped. “AND?” she shrieked as Waverly’s face broke out into a beaming smile. “Oh my Gods, Waves, I’m so, so happy for you.”

“Chrissy, thank you so much! For everything. They are going to love their Aunty Chrissy.” The omega said as her eyes watered and she pulled over to the side of the road.

“But it’s only been 4 weeks?”

“I know but I woke up this morning needing to vomit so I couldn’t help it, I had to take a test. It was positive.”

“I’ll get Jeremy to call you to set up a check up in a few weeks. I am going to spoil that kid rotten! Did you tell Wynonna yet?”

“No. I want to wait until I’m further along so please say nothing yet.” Waverly pleaded.

“Of course not!”

They spoke some more until Gus called her and they said goodbye so Waverly could answer.

“Angel, I need to go to Shorty’s, can you collect Alice from the bar?” The older beta asked so Waverly nodded and turned around to head back to town.

In the City Chrissy's smile slipped from her face when she hung up the phone before putting it back in her pocket and left her Lab to speak to Jeremy.

“Waverly just called.” She said after they exchanged greetings.

“Is everything OK?” he asked, concerned.

“She took a test and it’s positive.” The female grimaced and the male hissed out a curse. “its only been 4 weeks.” She said and the doctor blew out a hard breath

“Its not uncommon to get a positive result this early but its more common in this type of pregnancy. Especially if she took it first thing in the morning. Is she feeling OK?”

“Well she took it because of she had morning sickness.” Chrissy said as Jeremy nodded

“That’s common. I’ll send her an appointment to check her out.” Jeremy promised and Chrissy made to leave before he cleared his throat awkwardly. “Did you tell her?” he asked.

“No, I didn’t want to spoil her good mood.” Chrissy sighed heavily and rubbed her face. “how can I tell her she was inseminated with the wrong semen? Alpha semen no less.”

They had discovered why the sample was missing only days before. It had been bothering Chrissy to no end as to where the sample had gone and she had gone through all the camera footage from the storage room and the lab to figure out what had happened until she found footage of Jeremy and the lab assistant bumping into each other and she saw 2 cups fall but one rolled under the cabinet unseen by the 2 people in the footage. She had felt a sense of utter dread as she had run to the lab and lowered herself to the floor on her belly to reach under the same cabinet.

She bit back a whimper as her hand found the pot and she pulled it out and examined the label before going to her computer and entering the sample number into the database. Her stomach dropped when she saw it belonged to the donor Waverly had chosen.

“Oh my Gods.” She had said in a horrified whimper when she realised what had happened. Her friend had been inseminated with female Alpha semen fraudulent and it made her sick.

She suddenly hated herself for hoping the Alpha was infertile and she would pay for Waverly to have a 2nd round of insemination but when she looked up the Alpha sample file and checked the results of her second fertility test she saw that the woman had a healthy sperm count and mobility.

When she told Jeremy, he had been inconsolable, having a severe panic attack in his office. They knew they had to tell the head of the clinic but they knew they would be fired as soon as they did. The Alpha would have to be informed and the woman happened be quite wealthy so they knew she would likely sue them into oblivion and poor Waverly would be in a horrible position.

If she ended up pregnant that Alpha had a right to know as she hadn’t given her consent for the sample to be used as a donation and Waverly would be tied to a stranger for the rest of her life, one she hadn’t chosen in any way.

Chrissy and Jeremy had decided to wait until they knew if the insemination worked before they went to their boss.

Now they had no choice.

They stood up and left the office in silence to the elevator before taking it to the top floor.

“We need to speak to Dr Lucado.” Chrissy said to the secretary. “it’s a matter of urgency.”

“You need to make an appointment.” The male omega snipped.

“No, tell her there has been a monumental fuck up and the future of the clinic is in jeopardy.” Chrissy growled and the man nodded nervously and hurried into the woman’s office.

A moment later an angry looking beta clomped out of her office and growled.

“Dr Nedley, Dr Chetri, what is the meaning of this?”

“Dr Lucado, we need to speak privately.” Chrissy choked out as Jeremy trembled. The older woman took them in and nodded, sensing their fear. She showed them to her office and Chrissy explained everything, showing her the footage from the Lab and when she found out who the Alpha was, Lucado went pale and collapsed back into her chair.

“Dr Chetri, why didn’t you confirm the sample numbers?!” She growled and Jeremy hung his head.

“I confirmed the number when I pulled it from the fridge. I should had done so again. I am so, so sorry, Dr Lucado, I’ll pack up my things.”

“No, this can’t get out.” The sharp featured woman shook her head. “I would be ruined, your careers would be ruined! We say nothing. The omega is from some backwater town hours from here and the Alpha is one of the wealthiest women in Canada and lives here in the city. They won’t find out.” The woman wore a manic smile, happy to have figured it out.

“We can’t do that! Waverly is my best friend, she’s like a sister to me!” Chrissy said but the beta slapped her hand on her desk.

“She wanted a pup, she’s gonna get a pup so what’s the problem? Unless you want to live the rest of your lives living at the fucking dump, Keep your mouths SHUT!” Lucado shouted the last word and dismissed them.

“You are going to tell her, right?” Jeremy asked when they were back in the elevator.

“Of course but not until she’s further alone, I don’t want the shock to cause...” she trailed off and Jeremy nodded

“Good call. Do you think she will be upset?” he asked.

“Hard to say. She might be about the sperm mix up but Lucado is right, she got what she ultimately wanted but she might want the Alpha involved, she’s an omega after all and being pregnant with an Alpha’s pup could do funny things to her. Or she might never want to speak to me again for keeping it from her for any length of time. She might hate me for betraying her trust. I can’t say I would blame her.”

They shared a sad look and went their separate ways.

Chapter Text

Nicole followed the concierge to the table she had booked in the upscale Italian restaurant she knew her mother loved and smiled when she saw the woman in question.

“Hey, Mom, sorry I’m a little late.” The redhead bent and kissed her dames cheek. She ignored all the omega’s staring at her but her mother didn’t miss it. Her daughter was a beautiful young woman.

“No matter. Your here now and it’s been far to long since we spent any time together.” Miriam said, smiling but Nicole grimaced.

“And I’m very sorry for that. The business has taken up to much of my time lately but you will be happy to heae it’s now looking healthy for the first time in a long time so I am finally taking a break.” She said and the blond woman grinned.

“you don’t know how happy I am to hear that, Nicole-Darling, where are you going?”

“I’m going to go camping in the mountains while it’s still pleasant. I’m leaving tomorrow.”

Miriam scowled. She wasn’t worried about Nicole hiking alone as she was perfectly capable of defending herself.

“Honey, when you said a break, I was imagining a sunny beach and cutting loose, spending some time with some Omegas. Not sleeping in a tent in a muddy camp site.” She said reproachfully as her daughter smirked.

“Mother, I need peace and quiet. I need to switch off and connect to nature.” Nicole said as her mother rolled her eyes and tutted affectionately.

“Yes, you have always been quite the Outdoorsman. Though only the Gods know where you got that from.” The omega chuckled with her pup.

“You know it was Pops.” The Alpha grinned and her mother smiled.

“I know but you should be out finding someone. I want another omega in the family and Gods know what sort of creatures your brothers will bring home.” Miriam muttered as Nicole sniggered.

“You never know? Dad came home with you.”

“Yes but he was a much better actor than the boys but I always imagined you with a sweet omega that you dote on, someone who loves and cares for you. Someone who makes you happy.” Miriam said as she rested a hand atop Nicole’s.

“I’ll meet someone when the time is right and I’ll make sure she’s very sweet, just for you.” The Alpha teased before the waiter came to take their orders.

“Is there any scents in here calling to your wolf?” Miriam asked when the man walked away and Nicole snorted.

“No.” She said but she instantly remembered the omega from the traffic jam. She had smelled like heaven. “But I do have something to tell you. I’d prefer if Nicholas didn’t know.”

“What’s wrong?” Miriam's faced morphed into concern but Nicole quickly shook her head.

“Nothing. I went to a Fertility clinic to-“

“Oh, Sweetheart, I’m so sorry about that!” Miriam apologised for the tenth time about the man springing that on them.

“No, it got me thinking that it would he a good idea to know and I’m happy to report that everything is fine.” Nicole said pointedly and Miriam smiled.

“that’s wonderful, Nicole. See? Now you have to find a mate so I can have grand babies to spoil!” Miriam said and Nicole groaned jokingly.

After dinner, they hugged goodbye before Nicole climbed into her Limo and told her new driver, Levi, to bring her back to the office.

The following morning she packed up her tent and sleeping bag, warm clothes and her hiking boots. She packed a few days worth of dehydrated food and her water filter before she brought her stuff downstairs and went to sat goodbye to her Grandfather.

“Stay safe, Kiddo.” He told her before she went to the underground garage and got into her SUV before she headed out of the City. She was looking forward to spending a few days alone in the national park near the Canadian Rockies. Connor used to bring her and Mercedes out to camp when they were younger and Mercedes mother, Connors daughter had married a man from a nearby town and the omega and her siblings had grown up there.

Nicole loved being in nature and it was warm enough that she would be able to take a dip in the river near her planned camp site after a long day of hiking and she couldn’t wait. It was a 4 hour hike to the camp site and she stopped into a gas station to pick up a couple of snacks she wouldn’t normally indulge in and fill her tank before she drove through the small town near the national park.

She chuckled as she saw that the town still looked like something out of a wild West film. She used to tease Mercedes to no end about Purgatory’s name and aesthetic.

She beamed to herself when she got to the carpark in the Park and put on her large camping bag, locked her car and began her hike. She turned her phone off as she walked just listening to the sounds of the forest. The rustling of the leaves and birds chirping in the trees calmed her soul as she followed the trail.

The fresh mountain air reinvigorated her and by the time she made it to camp she was hungry and blissfully tired but before she could relax she had to set up her tent and made her bed before she collected dry wood, putting it down before she cleared a space on the ground, making sure there was a clear margin of dirt to avoid a spark setting off a forest fire in the parched woods. She used large rocks savaged from old camp fires to build a circle and prepared her fire to light later before she pulled a towel from her bag and fresh clothes.

She headed to the lazy river she had swam in many times and she stripped. She hadn’t seen a single soul since she had driven through Purgatory so she wasn’t worried about anyone seeing her. There was something very liberating about being naked in the woods on a beautiful day.

She dived into the cool water and floated on her back for a while before she washed with her natural, organic soap and dried off on the river bank before she watched the water flow along.

She had missed this so much.

At dusk the Alpha returned to camp and cooked her dinner with filtered and boiled mountain spring water, reading a book as she ate the rehydrated meal by the fire side until she climbed into her camp bed, falling asleep quickly.

The 2nd and 3rd days on the mountain were blissful. She saw no one as she explored the wilderness and every evening Nicole spent them the same as the first.

On the 4th day she work up to heavy rain slapping off her tent and huffed in disappointment. She turned on her phone and waited forever for her weather app to load only to see that the forecast showed nothing but rain ahead for the next couple of days.

Nicole sighed in disappointment before she dressed, putting on her light rain jacket and packed up her camp, making sure to leave nothing behind before beginning her long trek back to the carpark.

The rain had only gotten heavier as the morning had gone on and she felt cold and miserable by the time she climbed into the front seat and turned on the heat to warm up before she drove back in the direction of Purgatory.

Her stomach growled and she decided to get something to eat at a nearby diner, thinking that some warm pancakes would fill her up with some eggs and bacon.

She pulled up outside Mama Olive's diner and went inside where silence fell over the costumers when the door closed behind her. She swallowed awkward as she took a seat.

She never felt like this when she was in the Big City but in such a small town where she was a stranger she felt really out of place.

A ginger, freckled woman came to take her order, staring at her openly. Nicole told the woman what she wanted and gratefully accepted the offer of a cup of coffee before she looked out the at the quiet main street.

She wondered what it would be like to live in a town like this? It was so quite in the middle of the day and she saw a sheriffs office vehicle pull up beside her SUV and a portly man got out. He put on his white stetson as his impressive moustache twitched and he made his way inside.

“Afternoon, Miss Hetty.” He said as he sat at the counter but he paused when he caught the strong scent of Alpha and gave the waitress a questioning look.

“Over there.” Nicole heard the female beta whispered and she rolled her eyes. She was used to being one of the only Alphas someone had ever met.

A moment later the girl returned with her food and Nicole thanked her politely. The pancakes were delicious and she took her time savouring the food as she absentmindedly watched the coming and goings on the street.

“Are you an Alpha?” she heard and turned to see a short blond woman grinning at her. Nicole wanted to recoil, the woman smelled of gasoline and flop sweat from a male beta. She nodded before she stood up to leave. She had finished her food and had no interest in engaging with this omega. “I’m Stephanie. Why don’t we grab a drink?” the woman purred.

“No, thank you.” Nicole said before going to the counter to pay.

“Just passing through?” the lawman asked her and she nodded.

“Was camping but got washed out this morning so heading back to the City.” She smiled politely and the man snorted as she paid the bill and left a generous tip before leaving the diner.

She was about to get in her car when she saw a red jeep Cherokee drive past her and she followed it with her eyes before she saw it park in front of a saloon called Shorty’s. To her happy surprise she saw the omega she had met in the traffic jam months ago. Waverly.

Her wolf began to dig at her mind as its tail wagged, urging her to follow the woman into the bar. She bit her lip as she debated doing so.

She had to admit that she had wanted to see the woman again, had hoped to run into her in the city but to find her in this small county town was a coincidence she couldn’t ignore.

She crossed the road and made her way to the saloon, her heart beating a little faster as she caught the woman’s apple pie scent and grinned as she put her hand on the door but froze. There was something else in that scent and it called to her, telling her something that should be impossible.

Chapter Text

It was midday Saturday as Waverly made her way to the bar to work the afternoon shift, singing along with the radio as she drove.

The last few weeks she had never been happier. She had taken a few more pregnancy tests to confirm the first and with every positive result she cried with joy.

She could live without the morning sickness though but had taken to bringing a bucket to her room so she didn’t wake Wynonna, emptying it when her sister was gone and cleaning it out before bringing it back to her room.

She still wasn’t ready to tell Wynonna yet, or anyone. She wanted to wait until Jeremy examined her and told her everything was in order in a fortnight.

But people were noticing something was different about her. Her scent had changed subtly but no-one had figured it out yet bur every time she walked into her room she could smell the soft, warm, scent of vanilla that was her pup tinting her own around the edges. She couldnt help thinking of that Alpha with the vanilla scent and thinking how funny it was that the beta donor had a similar scented pup.

She played out conversations in her mind with Gus and Wynonna over and over when ever she was alone, wondering what their reactions would be. She knew they would be shocked but would they be angry she didn’t tell them.

She was nervous but she knew they would get over it and eventually be excited about the new addition.

The next person she would tell would be her Uncle Curtis however. He wouldn’t be surprised and she knew he would be happy for her and help mitigate any negativity that was unlikely to occur.

She pulled into her spot outside Shorty’s and went inside the Bar, smiling at her aunt as she walked behind the counter and hugged the older woman before she got started on tidying behind the bar as Gus served the small number of patrons in this early in the day.

Suddenly Waverly froze as the swinging doors opened the second after a scent hit her and her wolf howled excitedly as the omega saw that redheaded vision from months before walking in, her eyes finding Waverly’s and flashing gold before she strode directly towards her looking confused and angry.

“Explain.” She growled at the omega and Waverly only gawped at her.

“Who the hell are you?” Gus said, pulling the shot gun out from under the bar, pointing it at the Angry stranger.

“Speak.” The redheaded woman growled at Waverly again, ignoring the beta as she pumped out her dominating pheromones and she stared the brunette down.

Waverly looked at her confused before her wolf began scratching at her mind and something clicked. Her eyes widened.

“No. That’s- That’s impossible-“ she stammered but the woman’s hand slapped the bar as she snarled, causing Waverly and Gus to jump and whimper.

“Yes it is! So how the fuck did it happen?” the Alpha’s teeth sharpened. Gus grunted as she held the gun up the woman but gasped when the woman grabbed it and wrenched it out of her hands, bending it in half over her knee and tossing it aside without taking her eyes off her niece.

“I don’t-“ Waverly quivered.

“Tell me how the fuck my pup is in your belly!” the Alpha roared and Gus gasped.

“I don’t know!” Waverly whimpered and yelped when the woman snarled again.

“Waverly, what is she talking about?” Gus asked as she pulled the omega closer to her.

“ANSWER ME!” Nicole roared and Waverly yelped again and the Alpha’s wolf growled at her, protective of the omega who was carrying their child. Nicole pushed off the bar and began to pace as she took deep calming breathes. “Tell me how this happened...” she ordered, dangerously quiet.

The omega put her hands up and swallowed nervously. “I swear I don’t know.” She trembled slightly as she spoke and she looked so terrified that Nicole felt terrible for scaring her.

“Waverly, what is going on?” Gus asked before telling the 3 betas in the bar to get out.

Waverly looked between her aunt and the Alpha and groaned nervously. “I got inseminated 8 weeks ago at Chrissy’s clinic, I wasn’t ready to tell you yet.” The omega told the beta, visibly upset, and turned to look at Nicole. “But you aren’t the donor I chose!” she said and Nicole growled.

“Because I gave no donation! What clinic?” Nicole growled

“The Willows.” Waverly whispered and Nicole growled again, remembering the call saying her sample was contaminated... was her sample stolen?

“How can you tell it’s yours?” Gus growled at the woman but Waverly and Nicole’s eyes met. Nicole could smell the pup inside the omega and Waverly could tell by the scent that this woman was the pups sire but neither knew how.

“Did you steal my sample?” Nicole growled before the smaller woman scoffed.

“I don’t even know who you are!” Waverly growled and Nicole’s wolf huffed. “I chose a male beta donor... I don’t... I need to make a call...” the omega turned to walk away but Nicole followed her. Her Alpha was in control now and no matter how it happened, the omega was carrying her pup. “Stay here!” Waverly growled at her but Nicole glared, making her expose her throat slightly.

“No.” The redhead said as Waverly sighed and pulled out her phone. She began a call and Nicole took the phone out of her hand and pressed the loudspeaker. Waverly was cautiously watching the woman and while she was confused and upset, the woman’s scent was making her wolf calm. She didn’t think the Alpha was going to hurt her.

“Hey Waves.” Chrissy said, “Everything ok?”

“Chrissy...” Waverly’s voice shook as she glanced at the now stoic woman watched her and Gus came closer. “Who’s donation did you use?”

There was no answer for a moment and Waverly growled. “Chrissy?” There was a sharp intake of breath on the other end of the line.

“Waverly, I’m so sorry, there was a huge mix up in the lab and I was trying to figure out how to tell you-“ Chrissy was cut off from her friend letting out a sob and an angry snarl. “How did you know?” Chrissy asked with her voice thick.

Nicole saw the omega’s expression and felt the urge to comfort the upset woman.

“This is Nicole Haught. How did my test sample end up impregnating someone?” She growled down the phone and Chrissy gasped. Waverly looked up at her.

“Ms Haught, I’m sorry.” The girl’s voice trembled.

“Explain.” Nicole ordered.

“Waves, I’m so sorry.” Chrissy said. “I’ll call you back.” The call dropped and Nicole growled before she pulled out her own phone.

“Cedes, I need you to meet me at my place in 3 hours.” She growled and her cousin agreed, not asking any questions. When she slipped her phone back into her pocket before turning to Waverly.

“Pack a bag. You are coming with me.” Nicole growled but the beta and omega both scoffed.

“I’m not going anywhere!” Waverly growled back as Gus put a protective arm around her niece.

“You need to leave!” The grey-haired woman said and Nicole arched a brow before pumping out her dominating pheromones.

“That is my pup in there. I will not leave here without you.” The Alpha said evenly.

“I’m gonna call Wynonna.” Gus told her niece but Waverly stopped her.

“She’s in the City with Alice and Doc.” The omega said, still keeping her eyes on the Alpha’s face. .

“Nedley then.” Gus said Before making the call, watching the younger woman blinking at each other. “Randy, come to Shorty’s now.”

“Come. Its a long drive to the city.” The Alpha growled but Waverly shook her head, backing away. Nicole huffed.

“No.” The omega growled. “I don’t know who you are and I’m sure as shit not leaving here with you.”

Nicole arched a brow and let out a humourless chuckle. “I am the sire of that pup. That is all you need to know.”

“what’s going on?” a man asked as he came through the door and Nicole saw the lawman from the diner. His moustache twitched as he saw how the Redhead was towering over the small Omega who was like a 2nd daughter to him and he growled.

“This Alpha says Waverly is pregnant with her pup and she wants to take her.” Gus growled and Nedley’s jaw dropped.

“Oh. Oh no.” The man paled. Alphas made the law, ran the courts, if Waverly was pregnant for one then she essentially belonged to the stranger until the pup was born. She was no longer her own person. As Alphas were so rare and generally had mates, unplanned pregnancies were unheard of.

“The Law says that as an omega pregnant with an Alpha’s pup, she must obey me. I am her Alpha until that pup is born.” Nicole growled as the other 2 women gasped. “and I’m not leaving without her. Even if I have to drag her out if here.”

“Now let’s keep our cool. Maybe we can work something out?” The Sheriff suggested but the Alpha growled, still looking at the omega.

“No.” She said and held out her hand to Waverly. “Do not make me carry you out of here.” She warned but Waverly took a step back and gnashed her teeth.

“I’m not going anywhere with you. This is my pup and I don’t want you involved. Leave.” The brunette growled and Nicole ignored the way her heart dropped and her wolf whimpered.

“This stress isn’t good for the pup.” Gus said and Nicole immediately stepped back from the omega as she scratched her cheek. The beta woman was happy to see the Alpha wasn’t a total asshole and Gus pulled Waverly back against her again. “You need to leave.”

Nicole looked at Waverly and felt her fear. She had to remember this wasn’t the omega’s fault. They were both innocent.

“Fine.” She sighed, “this isn’t over. I will see you soon.” She met the omega’s eyes but was unhappy the woman looked so perturbed. The Alpha strode from the Bar and across the road to her SUV.

Once inside she growled in hurt and confusion. She was having a pup with a woman she had only met once before for a moment and it hurt her Alpha side to know the omega hadn’t chosen her even though she hadn’t exactly been on the table.

She drove back to the City and went to shower before Mercedes arrived, hugging her and bringing her to the living room on her floor.

“What’s going on?” the omega asked, concern colouring her voice.

Nicole told her everything that had happened and when she was done, the smaller redhead sat back in her chair in shock.

“Oh my Gods, Nicole, this is insane! I can’t believe this.” Mercedes said and Nicole nodded.

“What do I do?” Nicole asked.

“What ever you want, Nicole, you’re an Alpha. No court in the country will keep an Alpha from their pup and as she is pregnant by you, no matter how it happened, she is yours to command while she carries your pup.”

Nicole grunted as her wolf whimpered. She didn’t like the idea of taking the pup away from its mother, especially when that woman made her heart race. The scent of the omega and her pup mixed together had been so intoxicating that she wanted to keep the omega near and not just because she was pregnant.

“I don’t know if I can be that cruel to Waverly and take the pup. Regardless of the law.” Nicole growled.

“Waverly? Waverly Earp from Purgatory?” Mercedes asked.

“Uh... I didn’t get her surname but she was working in a bar called-“

“Shorty’s.” The omega finished and chuckled. “Oh Gods, Wynonna is going to lose her mind.”

“Who?” Nicole asked, having heard the older beta in the bar say that name.

“Waverly’s sister, a total hothead. I love her but I wouldn’t fuck with her. Waverly is her Baby Girl and she won’t let anyone hurt the omega. Of all the Omegas...” Mercedes chuckled again.

“Nothing about this is funny, Mercedes.” Nicole growled and the smaller woman nodded.

“I’m sorry, you’re right. So I think the first thing we do is find out what the fuck happened at the clinic and then worry about what to do about the pup and Waverly. I’ll set up a meeting.” The omega said and began making calls as her cousin ran her fingers through her hair.

“Get dressed.” Mercedes said when she got off the phone. “we are going now. They are expecting us.”

Chapter Text

Waverly watched the Alpha leave and her knees almost buckled but her aunt held on to her, keeping her steady.

“Angel, sit down.” The beta muttered before she led Waverly to a stool by the bar. The omega was crying now and clutching her belly.

“I’m sorry, this isn’t how I wanted you to find out.” Waverly sobbed and Gus shushed her as she hugged her.

“It’s alright. We can talk about it later, I’m going to call Wynonna and Curtis. Randy, you need to call Chrissy and figure out what the fuck up was.” Gus said and Randy frowned.

“What has Chrissy got to do with this?”

“I chose a male beta donor. She arranged everything with the clinic.” Waverly sniffled and Randy nodded before walking outside. “Gus, what if she takes the baby?”

“We won’t let that happen, Angel, no one is gonna take that pup.” Gus said but she grimaced as she hugged the girl, she had half expected the Alpha to pull the omega out of the bar by force. “Are you sure it’s hers?”

Waverly let out another sob and nodded. “Yes, as soon as I smelled her I knew. This is her pup.” The omega said quietly and Nedley came back in to the saloon.

“Her phone is off.” He growled and Gus growled.

“Fine. Call Shorty and tell him to get his ass here to cover. I’m going to call Wynonna and find a lawyer to figure this out.” She walked off and when she came back, Waverly was crying silently. She brought the girl out to her truck and drove them to her home where Curtis was frowning in concern and pacing on the porch.

He hugged Waverly tight and brought her inside, putting her on the sofa, giving her a cup of tea before he went to speak to his wife.

“Why didn’t she tell us she was thinking of doing this?” Gus growled and Curtis sighed.

“She spoke to me.” He said, flinching when his wife slapped his bicep.

“What? Why didn’t you tell me? I could have talked her out of doing this.” Gus hissed.

“That’s why she didn’t want you or Wynonna to know. She wants a pup and she didn’t want to have to wait to meet someone. She had her heart set on it and you and Wynonna can be quite negative sometimes about things you don’t like or wouldn’t do yourselves. This was what she wanted and I wasn’t going to stop her.”

“It’s a pity you didn’t because now she’s linked up with a goddamn Alpha who is going to dictate the rest of her life.”

“Surely there’s something that can be done?” the man asked.

“She’s pregnant with an Alpha’s pup. The law is on the sire’s side and the woman never gave consent for her semen to be used like that by the sounds of it. Maybe it was for IVF with her Mate or something. Waverly may not even be allowed to keep the pup. This is gonna get messy.” Gus growled.

“who’s the Alpha?” he asked, opening the Internet browser on his phone.

“Nicole Hot she said her name was.” Gus said, standing by her husband and looking at the screen. Nothing that showed up was linked to the Alpha and the woman huffed.

“Maybe it’s not Hot but something similar.” Curtis said and used the auto fill. “Haught?” he asked as he clicked the screen.

“That’s her!” Gus growled and pointed to the phone at the thumbnail image showing a redheaded woman with a killer smile.

“Nothing negative about her but apparently her father was imprisoned for a year for embezzlement. No scandals but nothing about her personal life. Can’t find anything about her having a mate?” Curtis said as he looked through the different websites but they all gave them limited information. Other than her age and her father’s trouble with the law, nothing personal was found.

“So she’s loaded? Damn, she will have some of the best lawyers and be able to keep Waverly in court for years.” Gus said before she walked into to the living room. “How you feeling, Angel?” She asked the omega.

“I don’t know. Gus, I planned on being a single mom and now I might not get to be a mom at all. I used all my savings to do the insemination even with Chrissy’s discount. I don’t know what to do now.” Waverly sniffled as her aunt sat beside her and wrapped her in her arms.

“We will figure something out. This pup is one of us and we aren’t going to let anyone take them away.” Gus said though neither woman believed her words.

Wynonna eventually arrived and ran into the house, looking around for her sister and growling when she saw Waverly’s swollen, tear stained face.

“What’s happened? What’s wrong?” the wild haired brunette asked and she gathered her sister up into a hug. “who do I need to kill?” Wynonna growled.

“Wy, where’s Alice?” Waverly asked.

“The City, Doc took her. Tell me what’s wrong.”

“I’m pregnant.” The omega said and Wynonna gasped.

“Ew, it’s not Champ's is it?”

“NO!” Waverly barked. “no, I... I was artificially inseminated...” she said quietly and the beta snorted.

“What? Why would you do that?”

“Because I want to be a mom and I don’t want to wait until I meet someone but there’s been an awful mix up.” The omega began to cry again and Wynonna looked at Gus as she held her sister.

“Wynonna, Alpha sperm was used instead of who she chose. The Alpha found out and now we don’t know what’s going to happen...” Gus explained.

“Why? Its Waverly’s kid. What difference does it make?” the younger beta asked.

“Because the Alpha wasn’t a donor but somehow her semen was used. As an Alpha it means Waverly and the pup basically belong to her. If she wants to take the pup...” Gus trailed off and Wynonna growled.

“Who is this bitch?” the deputy growled and Waverly began to cry again. Gus took her older niece’s arm and pulled her into the kitchen, leaving Curtis to comfort the other.

“Wynonna, the first thing we need to do is get a lawyer and find out if Waverly has any sort of rights. The Alpha did back off for now but I don’t think this is going to be easy. We need to support Waverly anyway we can and that means keeping a level head.” Gus said and Wynonna gave a stiff nod.

“Why didn’t she tell us she was gonna do this?” Wynonna growled and Gus shrugged.

“It doesn't matter now, lets just focus on the legalities and we can figure the rest out later.”

“I’m gonna make some calls.” The blue eyed woman said and walked out of the house. “Mercedes.” She said when her call was answered.

“Bitch...Heey!” she heard on the other end.

“Listen, I’ve got a problem and I need a lawyer.” Wynonna growled but rather than her old friend getting excited and wanting the gossip she heard the woman suck in a breath.

“If this is about Waverly’s pregnancy, I can’t talk to you, Wy, its a conflict of interest.” The omega said.

“What? Why?”

“Nicole Haught is my cousin and I work for her. I can’t talk to you about this.” Mercedes said.

“What the fuck? You tell that bitch to stay away from Waves!” Wynonna warned.

“Wy, Nicole is a good person, really she is. She’s really upset and shocked by this but this is her pup too. I’ll email you a list of family law firms and hopefully we can work something out. Bye, Earp.” The line went dead and Wynonna growled.

“Fuck!” she spat before going back inside and saw Waverly curled up on the couch asleep, worn out by the emotional turmoil she had experienced the last few hours.

Gus cooked some dinner and woke the omega up to eat something but Waverly barely ate as everyone else ate in awkward silence before Wynonna took her sister back to the Homestead. She kept her thoughts to herself as to not upset the omega and Waverly went straight to her bedroom while Wynonna stayed downstairs and called some of the firms Mercedes had sent her.

Hours later she walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of whiskey, growling in frustration before she took a long drag straight from the bottle.

She had called all the firms Mercedes sent her as well as more she found online but everyone of them told her they couldn’t help her. It was an impossible case against a very powerful and rich female Alpha and Waverly had no legal standing against the sire.

Wynonna hated that she hadn’t found a way to help her sister.

She called Doc so she could speak to her daughter, wanting a happy distraction.

“Hey, Mama.” The pup gave her a gap tooth smile and waved at her mother on the screen. “are you coming back?”

“No, Baby Girl, I gotta stay here with Aunty Waves. She isn’t feeling too good but Papa is going to bring you home tomorrow.”

“Is it because she has an upset tummy every morning?” the pup asked innocently.

“What?” Wynonna asked.

“Every morning I can hear her barfing in her room.” The pup said and Wynonna bit back a huff.

“Yeah, she’s got a sick tummy. I gotta go but be good for Papa and we will see you tomorrow. Love you, Bug.”

“Love you too, Mama!” the pup handed the phone to Doc who looked at his ex wife.

“Is Waverly-“

“Yep, say nothing. I’ll fill you in tomorrow.” The female beta said and the man nodded before they hung up. Wynonna rubbed her face and went upstairs. She knocked on her sister’s bedroom door and walked inside.

The omega was curled up on her side, staring at the wall.

“Hey, Waves, are you doing OK?” Wynonna asked. The younger woman nodded but looked so forlorn.

“Yeah.” She said as Wynonna walked to the bed and lay down beside her.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Wynonna asked, trying not to sound hurt and Waverly's eyes watered.

“I was going to but i wasn’t ready yet. I didn’t know how to tell you but I want a pup, Nonna, and now I might not get to keep them.” She sniffled and Wynonna curled around her sister.

“We are gonna figure something out, Waves. I’m not letting some Alpha screw you over. Have you heard back from Chrissy?”

“No, her phone is off. I’m gonna drive to the City tomorrow to her place and find out how this happened.” Waverly said.

“I’ll come with you.” Wynonna said.

“Thank you.”

The sisters fell into silence and stayed that way until the following morning before they got into Gus’s truck that Wynonna had borrowed from Gus to bring Waverly home the previous day.

Chapter Text

Nicole sat in front of Dr Jeannie Lucado in her office at the Willows Fertility clinic. The beta looking incredibly nervous as a team of lawyers stood behind her beside a fidgeting Dr Chetri and Dr Nedley stood on either side of her.

All of them were looking at Nicole with trepidation as the Alpha and Mercedes watched the footage from the Lab that Chrissy had found. When the video ended Nicole took a deep breath and looked at her cousin.

“And you didn’t check to make sure that was the correct sample? Didn’t think to ensure that only one medical cup had been dropped?” the redheaded omega asked.

“Well, this was a terrible mistake we had no idea that had happened until today . Nothing like this has ever happened before.” Lucado assured but Nicole growled.

“Do not bullshit me. Which one of these is Chrissy?” The female Alpha asked and Lucado glared over her shoulder at a female beside her. “She is friends with the omega who is pregnant with my pup. She admitted on the phone that there was a mix up in the lab. Why the fuck wasn’t I contacted to inform me of the pregnancy? Why wasn’t Miss Earp contacted and told of the mistake? You have put us in a very difficult situation.”

“Ms Haught, is there anyway we can rectify this? We can ensure top notch care for the omega until your pup is born and-“

“Absolutely not.” Nicole snarled. “this isn’t over. Ms Gardner will be in touch.” The two redhead stood up and walked out of the room.

Mercedes and Nicole said nothing until they got into the Limo.

“You need to tell Grandfather.” Mercedes said and Nicole gave a curt nod.

“I’m gonna call Mom too. I think everyone needs to hear it so we can all be on the same page if this gets out.”

“even your sire and brothers?” Mercedes asked.

“Yes, even those idiots.” Nicole growled and called Miriam.

“Hello, Darling, how was your trip?” Her mother sounded delighted to hear from her daughter.

“Its was good to get away but it ended with a bang. I need you, Nicholas and the boys to come to the town house, now.” The Alpha growled.

“What happened? Is your Grandfather OK?”

“he’s fine, Mom, this is something else.” Nicole sounded exhausted so her mother nodded.

“OK, Sweetheart. We will leave soon. Are you alright.”

“Not really. I’ll explain everything when I see you.” They said goodbye and Nicole called her grandfather and told him she had called a meeting and she would see him at home.

She didn’t know how Miriam or Connor would take the news but she knew her father would see money signs from a lawsuit.

When she and Mercedes got back to the redbrick townhouse Connor was in the foyer leaning on his cane and looking concerned.

“What’s going on?” he asked as Mercedes kissed the man’s cheeks.

“I would rather only explain it once, Pops, I’m exhausted and my head is a mess over this.” Nicole groaned and her grandfather nodded before following her into the grand living room while looking at his other granddaughter who was uncharacteristically sombre.

Nicole went to the corner of the room where an extensive collection of drinks and poured herself 3 fingers of vodka, knocking it back before pouring herself another and a drink for her grandfather and cousin before she sat down in an armchair heavily.

“Kiddo, are you alright?” Connor asked but Nicole shook her head just as the butler showed her parents and brothers into the living room.

“Who the fuck do you think you are-“ Nicholas growled the second he stepped through the threshold but he was cut off and bowled back by a terrifying snarl from his daughter and everyone in the room exposed their necks. None of them had ever witnessed Nicole really lose her temper.

“Sit the FUCK down and SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!” She roared at the man who whimpered pathetically from the floor as Miriam rushed to her daughter.

“Sweetheart, what’s got you so upset? This isn’t like you!” the older omega said as her Mate got to his feet, scowling and nursing his bruised ego as he and his sons sat on the sofa, sharing questioning looks. The tension in the room was palpable as Nicole took a deep breath.

“I went for the fertility testing a number of months ago.” She started and her mother and grandfather nodded while her father smirked.

“You called us here to tell us your infertile? I don’t understand why that’s made you so mad. If anything we should be celebrating.” Nicholas’s smug expression fell immediately as Nicole made to lunge at him but Connor growled.

“Nicole.” He growled, knowing the female Alpha could easily ignore him but due to her respect for him she stopped and huffed.

“One more comment, make one more comment.” She snarled at her sire, daring him to speak but the man exposed his neck and pursed his lips. Nicole scratched her cheek as her mother suggested she sit back down.

“What’s going on?” the head Alpha growled and Nicole gave her cousin a pleading look so Mercedes stood and walked to Nicole, putting a hand on her shoulder and gave it a soft squeeze.

“There was an incident in one of the Labs and Nicole’s sample was mixed up with a beta sperm donor and now there is an omega who is pregnant with Nicole’s pup.” The shorter redhead said and Miriam’s hand covered her mouth as she gasped and Connor’s mouth dropped open.

Usually the announcement of a pup joining the family followed an Alpha finding a mate and mating. This was completely out of the blue.

“What?” Miriam whispered. “I’m going to be a grandmother?”

Connor growled.

“How the hell did this happened? Heads will roll!” he growled. “Who’s the omega?”

“Her name is Waverly Earp, she’s actually from Purgatory. Nicole ran into her in the bar she works in and smelled the pup. We saw the footage from the clinic. The doctor doing the insemination bumped into someone carrying a tray of samples, knocking one off and he dropped his, picking up the wrong one and it genuinely looks like a mistake.” Mercedes explained.

“What is the omega’s reaction to all of this?” Connor asked.

“Who cares what her reaction is?” Nicholas spat. “just make her terminate the pregnancy so we can get on with our lives. How much are you suing for?” he grinned as he asked and Mercedes kept a hand on Nicole’s shoulder to keep her in place but the redheaded Alpha gave her sire a warning growl

“She was upset. Very upset. I think I scared her. My Alpha came out but I left. I didn’t want to upset her more. She’s only about 2 months gone. I’m at a loss here.” Nicole finished with a groan and ran her fingers through her hair. “She doesn’t seem to want me involved. I’m not the donor she choose.”

“It doesn’t matter what she wants. You are the Alpha. She’s carrying your pup and the law states she has to obey you if she wants to be in the child’s life, if you want her to be in the child’s life..” Nick Jr said smugly.

“Nicole, what do you want to do?” Connor asked, ignoring his grandson.

“I don’t know yet.” The woman sighed.

“This is a Haught pup and possibly an Alpha and heir. It should be in the family. Mercedes, have one of our private investigators follow her to learn everything about the omega and her life. Once we know more about her we can come up with a better approach to this.” The head Alpha said and Mercedes nodded before leaving the room. Connor stood and went to his Alpha granddaughter, sighing as he looked down at the woman who was obviously distressed.

“Nicole, calm yourself. It won’t do you any favours to get anymore distressed. The pup won’t be here for months and we have plenty of time to sort this out.” The old man said and Nicole nodded sadly as her mother hugged her.

“please excuse me. I need to be alone.” Nicole said before leaving the room.

Miriam looked at the patriarch and Connor gave her a sad look.

“My poor baby.” The omega sighed, feeling helpless.

“Oh, give over.” Nicholas growled and stood up. “We need to pay the omega off to get her to terminate. We don’t need a half mongrel pup in the family.”

Connor snarled and Miriam growled.

“this is our grandchild, Nick. It doesn’t matter how it happened or who the omega is, she is the mother and must be welcomed into the family and treated with respect.” She told her mate and Connor nodded.

“regardless of the Law, this girl is now in a difficult situation.”

“then we offer her money. Enough of it that she can’t resist it. Anything we give her we will make back in the Lawsuit against the clinic.” The man shrugged easily but Connor growled again.

“You will do nothing. None of you will. Once we find out more, Nicole and this woman must sit down and talk. Obviously you will not say anything to anyone and you will not get involved without my express permission.” The man said sternly to his son.

Upstairs Nicole changed into her gym gear and took out her feelings on her punching bag. She didn’t wrap her hands up or wear gloves but she didn’t feel the skin on her knuckles splitting as she hit the bag over and over again. All she saw was the pregnant omega’s face as she said she didn’t want Nicole involved.

She couldn’t believe that the woman she hadn’t been able to stop thinking about from an innocent interaction was pregnant with her pup. She hated how she had spoken to Waverly. She hated how she must have scared the omega and she hoped the woman was alright.

She needed to speak to her but Mercedes had told her not to reach out unless it was through legal channels.

When her body finally gave out and she could no longer hit the bag due to her burning, aching muscles, she went to her bathroom and took a long shower, hissing as the hot water stung her injured knuckles. She would heal fully in a day or two but right now she relished the pain.

She got into bed and pulled up her phone, googling Waverly Earp and found her Instagram. It wasn’t private so Nicole could see the few photos Waverly had posted.

Waverly looked so happy in the photos. There was some photos with a taller brunette with a blue eyes and a wild energy what was tagged with #sisters. There was one or two photos of the omega with the omega, Chrissy, from the clinic. Some with a pup that looked very like Waverly’s sister.

Nicole barely paid any mind to the others in the photos, too focused on and distracted by the Waverly’s beauty. The way she smiled so wide her hazel eyes crinkled at the edges and her nose crinkled adorably.

I hope our pup looks like her, the Alpha thought to herself, thinking what a cute pup that would be. She felt the urge to get in her car and go back to Purgatory, find Waverly and speak with her, apologise.

If she wasn’t from such a rich and powerful family then maybe she would but Mercedes had given her instructions she knew she had to follow. She rolled onto her side and curled into a tight ball.

For now she had to wait.

Chapter Text

Waverly and Wynonna stood at Chrissy’s door and knocked. They had been let into the building by another resident as they didn’t want Chrissy to know they were calling by.

The door opened and Chrissy’s shoulders dropped when she saw the sisters and she silently stood back to let them in and closed the door behind them.

“Waves-“ she started but the other omega growled.

“Why didn’t you tell me? How could you keep this from me?” Waverly asked, hurt.

“I was going to! Waverly, I swear but I wanted to wait until you were further along, I didn’t want you to end up having a miscarriage from the shock. I never thought for a moment you would run into the Alpha, I wanted you to make the choice of letting her know. I only want Ed to help you, Waves, because you’re my best friend and I am horrified this happened and the position you are in now is terrible.” Chrissy whimpered

“She could make me give her the baby, Chrissy, I could lose them completely. She’s an Alpha! I have no rights now!” the smaller omega cried out and Wynonna put an arm around her sisters shoulder as she glared at her friend.

“You are so lucky you’re my boss's daughter. Otherwise, I would kick seven shades of shit out of you!” the beta snarled as Chrissy hung her head and Waverly cried.

“I’m so, so sorry.” Chrissy said, tears falling from her eyes.

Waverly shook her head and walked out of the apartment, unable to look at her friend. Wynonna went to follow but Chrissy stopped her. “Mercedes is Ms Haught’s lawyer, maybe you can call her?”

“I know Haught is her cousin. She won’t be helping us at all. Thanks for nothing.” The brunette spat before leaving and hurrying down the stairs after her sister, finding her parked outside the car.

“Waves-“

“Lets just collect Alice and go home, Wynonna.” The omega said, wiping her eyes.

When they got to Doc’s the man gave Waverly a hug but didn’t ask any questions. He sensed her sombre mood but could tell she was in no mood to talk and watched her hug her niece. When the omega and little girl got into the car he turned to his ex wife.

“who do we have to kill?” he growled, not happy to see his little friend so upset

“I’ll let you know.” Wynonna said before joining her sister and daughter.

“Aunty Waves?” Alice spoke up from her seat in between her mother and aunt.

“Yeah, Baby Girl?” the omega gave the little girl a tired smile.

“Are you feeling better?”

Waverly gave her sister a confused look and Wynonna gave her a pointed look back.

“Alice has been hearing you vomiting every morning. I told her how sick you were yesterday.” The beta said.

“Ah. OK. I have a very sick tummy but other than that I’m alright. Its going to take me a little bit to stop getting sick.”

“Will it make me sick?” the pup asked and Waverly shook her head.

“Nope. You can’t catch this.” The omega promised. She knew Wynonna was holding back a joke and she appreciated her sister’s silence.

When they got home Waverly went to her bedroom for the rest of the day, only leaving when Alice asked her for a bedtime story. When the pup was asleep she remembered she had to eat. No matter how awful she felt, her pup had to come first.

Wynonna had left for work after leaving her sister to put the pup to bed so Waverly was alone. She made herself a sandwich and sat at the kitchen table. Her throat felt tight and her mouth felt so dry she could barely swallow.

She forced herself to eat every bite while she thought over and over her predicament. Eventually she pulled out her phone and searched the Alpha online

She found her quickly and clicked on the images of Nicole Haught. There wasn’t many and most of them were professional corporate photos or press photos from her company events.

“I will say one thing, your sire is fucking gorgeous.” She muttered as she put a hand on her still flat stomach.

Even though Nicole had been incredibly angry, Waverly just knew she wouldn’t hurt her. The way her eyes flashed gold and her teeth sharpened had been frightening to watch, her wolf had urged her to her closer, appease the Alpha.

She took a deep breath.

Of all the Alphas in the world she could have been inseminated with how was it the woman from the traffic jam. The Gods had a sick sense of humour.

But her scent...that vanilla scent. It made her feel a roiling mix of emotions. Sure she wanted to run into her again some day but she hadn’t expected this. When she had seen Nicole enter the bar she had instantly felt excited but just as quickly it had shifted to fear at her furious expression.

She knew she had to speak to the Alpha. Her and her child’s future was held in this woman’s hands and Waverly would have to find someway to keep her pup. She would never survive them being taken away from her.

She would fight the Alpha tooth and nail if she had to but she also knew the woman could have dragged her out of the bar without so much as blinking.

She spent the rest of night researching the laws on custody and she found nothing to help her. She slept fitfully and after getting Alice ready for school she dressed and brought the pup to school before driving to the High-school.

Many of Waverly’s students, especially the seniors, asked their teacher if she was OK as they were unaccustomed to seeing her without a smile and her face was puffy from all the crying she had done. She had given them a smile that didn’t reach her eyes and thanked them for their concern but promised she was alright.

She had a dark cloud hanging over her and everyone could see it but the omega wouldn’t talk about it with anyone.

Rosita had tried to get her friend to talk but everyday the woman had refused until the end of the week, as they ate lunch together, Rosita had flicked a grape at the omega’s forehead and Waverly had looked at the latina in surprise.

“What’s going on with you? You’ve had a puss on you all week.” Rosita asked.

“Nothing. I’m fine.” Waverly scowled as she took a small bite of a carrot stick.

“No. You are not.” Rosita challenged before exposing her throat when Waverly snarled.

“Drop it. I am fine.” Waverly said before standing up and tossing her food in the trash then stomped out of the staff room as her colleagues watched her go, wondering what had happened as this was not usual for the normally sunny omega.

The following day when she went to work in Shorty’s Gus watched her as she served customers. Waverly had dark shadows under her eyes and looked drawn. The beta wondered if Waverly was eating enough or sleeping enough but she didn’t think she was.

As the bar got busier, more and more customers asked Gus what was wrong with her niece but they were told to mind their own business quite sternly.

When it was time for her break Waverly went out back to the Alleyway with a bottle of water and sat up on one of the empty barrels. She wiped her face before gulping down the water. When her break was over she went back inside and found her sister at the bar who gave her a big hug. They chatted for a moment before Waverly went back behind the bar but just as she prepared to serve a customer a hush fell over the bar.

“Waverly Earp?” she heard a deep voice, turning to see a tall, handsome black man in a fitted suit. He was a stranger and one smell told her he was an Alpha but he smelled of smoke to her, not anything like the sweet smell of Nicole.

“Who are you?” she growled but the man stopped in front of the bar.

“My name is Xavier Dolls. I’m here on behalf of Nicole Haught.” He said evenly and reached into his inner breast pocket as the omega tensed. Wynonna pulled her old gun from her boot and Gus pulled her new shot gun out from under the bar top, both of them pointing it at the stranger, who huffed when he saw the weapons. He held his hands up to placate them.

Wynonna walked over to him and reached into his jacket before pulling out a business card which she held out to her sister. The woman didn’t step towards them so Wynonna put the card on a Bar in front of her.

“She wished for me to give you this and asked that you call her at your earliest convenience. I suggest you do so.” He said before he put his hands down and walked out of the bar.

Waverly’s heart pounded in her chest as she picked the card up. She could smell Nicole faintly on it.

“Gus, I need to go.” She told her aunt and the beta nodded.

“I’ll drive you home.” Wynonna said as Waverly put her handbag and jacket over her arm and shook her head.

“No, I’m OK to drive, I just can’t be here right now. I need to be alone.” Waverly said and the older women nodded so the omega thanked her aunt and hurried out of the bar, driving home and locking herself in the empty house.

In her bedroom she pulled the card out and looked at it closely. All it had was Nicole’s name and a phone number. She bit her lip and tried to decide what to do. She knew she needed to speak to the woman if she was going to have any peace but she had no idea what to say.

In the City, Nicole was in her Gym working out to distract herself from her emotions.

Yesterday the Private investigator who had been following the omega dropped his file off.

He had followed Waverly and took many photos. Nicole didn’t know what she was expecting but she had hoped there would be something in the file that would give her something to help her make a decision on what to do but instead she found nothing.

Waverly was a teacher in her local High-school, she thought history and then worked in her family’s saloon on weekends, the investigator had found nothing negative about the omega.

The pictures he had taken of the omega had shown her looking drawn and Nicole hated that she was likely the cause. She and her sister lived with her sister’s daughter in a pretty little cabin in the middle of nowhere.

Nicole wanted to work this out as smoothly as possible without causing the woman anymore distress but she wanted her pup. If she was honest, she wanted Waverly too but she couldnt say that aloud.

She felt terrible that she had turned the omega’s world upside down but the Alpha’s world had been turned upside down too.

She wanted to care for the omega and the pup and she had found the best OBGYN in the city to take the omega on as a patient to ensure she and the pup were healthy but she didn’t know how to tell the woman without it seeming like an order.

She had decided that maybe lawyers wasn’t the right way to go so she had asked Dolls to deliver the woman her contact details. She would leave the ball in the omega court for a while and hope she would call her soon.

If not then she would have to get Mercedes to take the next step but that was a last resort for Nicole.

She heard her phone ringing and she rushed to the ring where her phone was vibrating on the edge. She picked it up and saw an unknown number calling. This was her private line that only a few people had the number to so her heart beat faster in her chest when she realised this must be Waverly. She hadn’t expected a call so quickly.

“Hello?” she said smoothly, hiding her excitement and trepidation.

Chapter Text

“Nicole?” the Alpha heard a slightly trembling voice on the line. “This is Waverly Earp.”

Nicole closed her eyes, unhappy that she had caused the woman any distress.

“Thank you for calling.” Nicole said softly. “I want to apologise for how I spoke to you last week. I shouldn’t have lost my temper like that and I know this wasn’t your fault. I am sorry.”

In Purgatory, Waverly’s shoulders relaxed and she was as surprised by how remorseful the Alpha sounded. Her wolf’s tail wagged as she listened to the woman’s apology.

“I understand.” She said quietly after letting out a shaky breath. “Are you going to take this pup from me?”

Nicole flinched and let out a sigh filled in frustration and shame.

“I would prefer if we could work out some sort of arrangement with custody when the pup’s been born. I understand you didn’t plan on having someone else involved and I appreciate that but even the best laid plans fall to the wayside.” She said as calmly as possible but heard a sharp intake of breath.

“You didn’t answer the question.” Waverly growled.

“I don’t want to take the pup from you but I want to be involved. I want access to them, preferably without having to go through lawyers.” Nicole said but she heard a scoff.

“As if I can find a lawyer willing to represent me against you.” The omega snarled.

Nicole hung her head as she heard the pain in the omega’s voice. Waverly must be feeling so helpless.

“Can we meet? Face to face?” Nicole asked but Waverly growled.

“Why are you even asking? I have no rights here. As an omega pregnant with your pup, I am yours to command. Nothing I want matters. I cant defend myself against your Alpha.” Resentment was heavy in her voice. Again, Nicole felt shame colour her cheeks.

“it matters to me.” She said honestly. “That’s why I wanted to speak to you. Waverly, I hate this. I know you have no standing in the law but I’m not interested in being cruel. Please believe me.” She begged. “I was hoping you would let me take care of you both.”

There was silence on the other side and Waverly was biting her lip. She wanted to believe the woman but she wasn’t in a position to do anything if she didn’t.

“Are you there?” Nicole asked, a slight whine in her voice and Waverly huffed.

“I don’t need to be taken care of and I’m not meeting you alone.” Waverly growled and Nicole couldn’t help a small smile playing on her lips. The omega was spunky.

“Not alone. Bring who ever you want. I’ll meet you whenever and where ever you want. Just say.” The Alpha said and she heard Waverly sigh.

“I’ll text you.” The omega said and the call finished.

Nicole called Mercedes, who answered the phone brightly.

“Hey, Cous, what’s up?”

“I heard from Waverly. She can’t find a lawyer to help her against me. Is there something we can do?”

“No. Nicole, no lawyer is going to represent her against you. What do you want to do?”

“I just want access. I don’t want her feeling like she has no say and I certainly don’t want to rip the pup from her arms.” Nicole growled, hating this situation and ignoring the pain she felt because Waverly was acutely aware of the situation she was in and she felt to blame. She wanted to do something to show the omega she wanted to work this out as amicably as possible.

“I would be happy to write up an initial custody agreement. How much do you want to pay in child support?” the omega asked.

“A grand?” Nicole suggested.

“a month?”

“Uh... I was thinking a week. I don’t want either of them to want for anything and also put it in the agreement that there will be a trust fund for the pup, a college fund and I’ll cover any and all medical expenses for Waverly and the pup from now on. Also I want to give her an initial cheque to help her buy anything else she needs.” Nicole said and her cousin sighed.

“So you want visitation and maybe every second weekend custody? Alternating holidays? Maybe a month in the summers when they’re are older?” The omega asked. Nicole’s wolf growled at the thought of not being in her pups life every day but she nodded.

“Yes and I want to be present for every hospital appointment and the birth.” Nicole said as her phone buzzed. She looked and saw a message from Waverly. “She wants to meet tomorrow in Purgatory.”

“Ok. Ill send it over in the morning. Do you want me to come with you?”

“No, I’ll meet her alone. I don’t want her feeling pressured into anything even more than she already does. I need her to feel somewhat at ease with me.”

They said goodbye and Nicole yawned. She hadn’t been sleeping well over this past week and she hoped that after their meeting things would feel more settled. She just had to stay level headed.

After a fitful night’s sleep she got up and showered before putting on skinny jeans, boots and a flannel shirt. She wanted to look as casual as she could. This wasn’t a business meeting.

The Butler handed her the envelope from Mercedes that the currier had brought over in the early hours of the morning. She wrote a cheque and put it in her pocket before she drove to Purgatory.

On the way, Dolls called.

“I gave her the card.” The male said and Nicole nodded.

“I know, thank you, she called me and I’m on the way to meet her now.”

“You can’t! I had guns pulled on me yesterday when I said I came on your behalf.” He growled and Nicole bit back a grin.

“oh, sorry, my bad. I should have warned you. I’m not worried. I’ll call you on the way home.” She said brightly and hung up.

When she got to Purgatory and drove down the main street she saw Waverly’s jeep was already at Shorty’s. She pulled in between the omega’s jeep and a kick ass Harley motorcycle. From the PIs file she knew Waverly’s sister drove it and she obviously took really good care of it.

“Touch it and I’ll shoot you between the eyes.” She heard and looked at the woman standing at the entrance to the bar scowling at her.

“It’s a nice bike but not worth dying for.” The Alpha arched a brow as she smirked, smelling the betas anger towards her.

“I suppose you’re the Asshole who threatened my sister?” the woman growled, her shoulders back and her arms crossed. Nicole’s smile slipped from her face and she nodded grimly.

“Yes. And I’ve regretted it every minute since.” Nicole was always an honest person and had always owned up to her infrequent bad behaviour. Wynonna’s brow arched and she frowned.

The beta had expected the woman to deny it or make her back off. She had met a few Alphas over the ears and few had tolerated her piss-taking ways or her hothead personality and every one of them had been all too eager to release their Alpha on anyone for anything they didn’t like and dominating them into submission.

She had intended to get the woman so angry she attacked Wynonna and get her done for assaulting a cop. She had learned a trick to being able to not be effected by an Alpha.

By rubbing Vapour rub under her nose the Alpha’s scent would have no effect on her and she had made Waverly do the same.

Waverly hadn’t refused but she had hesitated a little. Unbeknownst to Wynonna, Waverly had wanted to smell the redhead’s scent again. She missed it.

Wynonna decided to goad Nicole a little harder.

“I oughta kick your ass for talking to her like that. Who the fuck do you think you are?” she snarled and Nicole nodded again, feeling more remorseful than ever.

If Wynonna wanted to avenge her sister, Nicole wouldn’t stop her getting in a punch or two. She left her body open and gave no other reaction. Wynonna and her wolf were getting frustrated.

“Can’t you take a hint and fuck off? Waves doesn’t want you being her Baby Daddy and if you think you are going to take this kid away, you got another thing coming. I don’t care what you said to her.” Wynonna spat, thinking that would get a reaction but Nicole just sighed. The beta wondered if the woman was releasing her scent to try and subdue her.

“Look, I know there is no excuse for my behaviour so I won’t insult you by giving one. When it comes to this baby, it may not be the way either your sister or I wanted but, for better or worse, that’s my pup and I just want to be in their life.” Nicole said as calmly as possible but sincerely. “What would you want if you were in my shoes?”

Wynonna hated that the Alpha had a point and that she hadn’t lost her temper.

“Any disrespect from you in there and I will cut off your cock and feed it to you.” The beta warned and Nicole nodded before being led into the bar.

Nicole tried not to remember the last time she walked through the swinging doors. She could smell Waverly and her pup as soon as she was inside the dark room and after a moment when her eyes adjusted to the change in light, the Alpha saw the Omega.

Waverly sat at one end of a large table with an older, beta couple on either side, the female being the woman who had pulled the shot gun on Nicole the previous week. Gus. Another man was behind the bar drying a glass and glowering at her.

Nicole kept her movements calm and deliberate so as not to frighten Waverly or risk getting shot. Waverly’s eyes followed her every move but her face was impassive.

Waverly couldn’t have looked away if she had wanted to. Nicole really was beautiful and the omega appreciated that the Alpha was trying to make herself as neutral as possible. They made eye contact as Nicole lowered herself into the single chair opposite her and the Alpha gave her a glimmer of a smile before looking at Gus when the beta huffed.

“I assume you don’t need to be told we want no repeat of last week?” the older woman growled and Waverly tensed, worried the Alpha would get angered by the beta woman.

“Yes, of course, and please allow me to apologise for that. I forgot myself completely from the shock but that is not an excuse. I’m sorry and I promise I will keep my temper in check.” Nicole said and Gus’s eyebrows rose up. This wasn’t the same woman from the last encounter.

Gus and Curtis had told the girls they would keep their sense of smell for the meeting so they could see if the woman attempted to dominate them. The Alpha’s scent was completely neutral.

“So what is it you want?” Gus asked, a growl in her voice and the Alpha held up the A4 envelope before she stood to hand it to Waverly but Wynonna stepped in her way and snatched the custody proposal from her hand.

Nicole kept completely calm as she sat down but inside her wolf was snarling, urging her to put the beta in her place. She told it to calm down so she could focus on the omega and it obeyed.

“What’s this?” Waverly asked, taking the envelope from Wynonna.

“A initial draft of a custody agreement I took the liberty of asking Mercedes draw up but we can adjust it accordingly.” The redhead said as Waverly pulled out the bundle of paper, skimming through it quickly before giving her a questioning look as the brunette handed it to her aunt. “That’s all? Why?”

“Because I am not cruel enough to separate an omega from her pup, no matter what the law says or what I said. I know you want to do this alone but I can’t not be involved in some way.”

“How many other pups you got floating around? You got a couple of omegas in your bed?” Wynonna growled and Waverly’s ears perked up, far too interested in the Alpha’s answer.

“No children, no omega’s, no mate. I work too much.” Nicole said with a sigh and Wynonna let out a bark of laughter as she read through the agreement.

“A grand? A grand a week in Micky money?”

Waverly frowned and took the paper back. “What?” she looked at Nicole who nodded. Waverly read through the other things Nicole wished to provide. “that’s a ridiculous amount.” She scoffed. “I don’t want your money.”

Nicole shrugged. “I just wanted to make sure you and the baby have everything you could possibly want or need. I meant no offense, I’m sorry.”

“I am perfectly capable of providing anything they need.” Waverly growled.

“I don’t doubt it.”

“and I definitely won’t be having you at the birth. You can be at the hospital but not in the delivery room.” Waverly told her as she looked down at the pages.

Nicole closed her eyes as her wolf whimpered. She wanted to witness the birth of her child but her guilt made her swallow harder and nodded.

Waverly watched the Alpha in surprise. She had expected Nicole to argue about being present but she looked at her aunt who seemed as surprised.

“I do insist on being present for your doctor’s appointments.” The Alpha said as she looked into the Omega’s eyes. “I want to be as informed about our pup’s health as you. And I would like to have some input on their name and important education or medical decisions. Discuss them together.”

Waverly felt a little thrill crawl up her spine at hearing Nicole refer to the pup as theirs.

“Fair. How can I be sure you won’t just take them for a weekend and not returned them?” the brunette asked quietly.

“Our custody agreement would be signed off by a Judge, Alpha or not I am bound by the law too. I know you don’t know me but a certain degree of trust between us is going to be necessary for us to co-parent as smoothly as possible. I have no desire to fight you, Waverly.” Nicole said honestly.

“How can I trust you? I don’t know you.” The omega asked and Nicole gave her a soft smile.

“There is a way to change that. Maybe we could spend some time getting to know each other before the baby comes? We could do regular phone calls or the occasional lunch? What ever you are comfortable with.” Nicole suggested.

“I’ll think about it.” Waverly said after a moments consideration. The Alpha instantly brightened and gave her a beaming, dimpled smile that was incredibly disarming.

Gus and Curtis shared a look as Waverly’s demeanour changed and she relaxed into her chair slightly as a silence fell over the bar.

After a moment Nicole cleared her throat awkwardly. “there is one more thing. Obviously given the incompetence of the Willows clinic I would prefer if we used a different clinic to take care of you during your pregnancy. Is that alright? I will see to it you have the best possible care.” Nicole said and Waverly nodded.

With that, Nicole decided to take her leave while the going was good. Waverly watched her, feeling a dash of disappointment.

“Thank you for meeting me and again, I am sorry for how I spoke to you and being a complete Shit-ticket. I will be in touch regarding the doctor and please contact me if there is anything you need. You can call Mercedes to make the changes to the custody agreement. ” With that Nicole took her leave. She decided to ignore the cheque in her pocket for fear of insulting Waverly more. She would hate to make the omega feel like she was trying to buy her off.

Once she was in the car she felt much better and hoped she had carried herself better than she had the week before and she really hoped she had put the omega at ease.

Chapter Text

When the Alpha left the bar the betas and omega shared surprised and relieved looks.

“I did not expect that.” Gus said, her eyebrows still high with surprise.

Curtis chuckled and took the agreement to read it himself as Waverly let out a relieved and happy sob as she stood to hug her sister.

She couldn’t believe that the Alpha would have asked for so little and offered so much. She may not want anything from Nicole but her pup deserved the best prenatal care available.

This was the best possible outcome. The woman was so reasonable when her anger and shock had abated and her apology had seemed truly sincere.

“20 bucks says she’s gonna want it called Nicole Haught the 5th or some shit.” Wynonna snorted and Waverly rolled her eyes as Gus shushed her.

“She certainly seems different when she’s calm.” The older beta woman said and Waverly nodded.

“Thats what she was like the first time I met her, maybe a little more charming.” Waverly said absentmindedly and the others all looked at Waverly in surprise.

“Wait, you met her before?” Wynonna asked and Waverly blew out a huff before she told them about the traffic jam.

“She apologised to me and asked me if I was alright. I can’t say she didn’t frighten me last week and it wasn’t OK but the more I think about it, she had obviously gotten a shock. Imagine a woman being pregnant with your pup when you only had a completely innocent, Short interaction. And as angry as she was she could have dragged me out of this bar and kept me a hostage until this pup was born. But she left and got in touch with me when she had gotten the facts.” The omega shrugged. “I don’t think I was truly in danger.”

“She didn’t try releasing her Alpha once.” Curtis said and Gus agreed.

“I gotta respect the fact she apologised for her behaviour and didn’t give excuses. She’s written up a generous custody agreement. Its almost unbelievable.”

“It might come with hidden conditions, I’m got a plan to have a lawyer look this over. Give me the agreement.” The beta took the agreement and left the bar, leaving the others looking at each other.

Waverly got up to start getting the bar ready to open with Shorty, feeling better than she had in a week. She felt like the weight of the world had slipped from her shoulders and her wolf was joyfully bouncing around her mind.

She would be able to raise her child the majority of the time. She didn’t know if she could trust the Alpha but she had no choice but to try.

Gus and Curtis watched her and hoped that even though this seemed to good to be true it actually was true for the omega’s sake.

Wynonna drove to a law office in the next town and asked to speak to someone about examining a contract. A young man came out and introduced himself as Reggie before showing her into his office.

“How can i help you?” he asked as they sat

“My sister is pregnant by a very powerful Alpha, the woman has drawn up a very generous contract and I just want to make sure there’s nothing hidden or cleverly worded.”

The man nodded and took the papers.

His eyebrows rose as he took in the Alpha's name and then what she was offering.

“The Alpha actually gave your sister these terms?” he asked.

“Yeah, why? What did you find?” Wynonna asked him, she knew Haught would have snuck in something.

“Nothing. It’s completely transparent and very much in you sister’s favour. I’d get this signed and in front of a judge before the Alpha remembers she has all the rights and your sister has none.” He chuckled in disbelief.

Wynonna thanked him and paid him for his time before driving home in time to meet Doc at the Homestead when he brought home Alice.

“How did it go with the Alpha?” Doc asked as Alice brought her bag to her room. Wynonna had filled him in on everything over the week.

“Better than any of us could have hoped for. She’s willing to give Waverly most of the custody and pay a stupid amount of child support. She wants every second weekend, alternative holidays and a month a summer as they get older. She wants a say in all major decisions.” Wynonna said as she handed him a coffee.

The man’s jaw dropped and he let out an impressed whistle. “Wow.”

“I know.”

Later on, when Waverly came home from the bar she cuddled her niece who could tell something was different.

“Aunty Waves, are you feeling better?” The pup had asked her, sensing Waverly’s happiness.

“I’m feeling so, so good, Baby Girl. I figured out what was making me feel sick.” Waverly said. She hadn’t wanted to tell the pup if she wasn’t going to get to raise her own.

“What was it?” the little beta asked as her mother smiled from the door way.

“I have a baby in my belly.” Waverly said happily and Alice gasped before letting out an excited squeal.

“Wow! Really?”

“Yep. And I’m going to need your help looking after your little cousin.” The omega said and the pup gave her a serious nod.

“I promise. How did the baby get inside you?” the innocent 6 year old said and Wynonna let out a bark of dirty laughter as Waverly gave her a dry look.

“Oh, I’ll tell you when your older but don’t believe anything your Mama tells you about it.” The omega said and giggled when she saw her sister scowl.

After dinner, Waverly put Alice to bed and read her a story before she went downstairs to talk to Wynonna.

The older Earp filled her in on what the solicitor had said and Waverly gave her a relieved smile.

“Thank you, Wynonna. I feel much better about everything now.”

“So what are you going to do with all that money?” the beta asked, having had amused her with coming up with ridiculous suggestions.

“I’m not taking that money from her, Wy. Its too much.” The omega huffed

“Waves, the woman probably makes that a day. She won’t miss it and you might as well be able to enjoy life now that you are stuck with her.” The beta reasoned but the younger woman shook her head.

“No, I appreciate the offer but I don’t want to live off her money. I’ll tell Mercedes that I’ll only accept a much smaller amount.” With that Waverly went to her room and called her sisters friend.

“Waverly! So good you hear from you. How are you feeling?”

“”Hi, Mercedes. I’m OK, how are you?”

“Listen, I’m so sorry you are going through this.”

“Well its none of us to blame. I’m calling about the custody agreement.” Waverly wanted to get straight to the point.

“Surprised?” Mercedes asked softly, smiling into the phone.

“Very.”

“Look, believe it or not, Nicole is actually a really decent person and she’s been kicking herself with how she treated you last week. If you had to get pregnant by an Alpha, you wouldn’t find a better one. She genuinely wants to make sure you and the pup are taken care of.” The redhead said.

“I won’t take a grand a week, Mercedes, that’s insane. I’ll take 100 dollars a week and I agree with everything else in it except the part about being in the room when I give birth.” Waverly said.

“She told me. Ill make the adjustments and let you know when i can get us a meeting with a judge. Just give her a chance to show you what she’s really like. She’s really a sweetie.” Mercedes pleaded.

“OK. Thanks Mercedes.” The brunette omega said and hung up.

Mercedes turned and looked at her mate and her cousin, both of them having heard everything the omega had said on the other end if the phone. Mercedes smiled at Nicole who blew out a breath of relief as Kate patted her shoulder.

“Thank you, Mercedes.” Nicole said but her cousin waved off her gratitude.

“Waverly was always intelligent, she knows she couldnt have asked for a better arrangement.”

“Why does she want only 10% of the offered child support?” Nicole asked and Mercedes chuckled.

“Because she’s not a gold digger and she knows that that is a ridiculous amount to get a week. You were right not to offer her the cheque. Just follow her lead and everything will go as smoothly as possible.” Mercedes advised, pouring more wine into her cousins glass.

When Nicole got home later that night she found her grandfather in the kitchen making himself some tea.

“How did your meeting with the omega go?” he asked her and made a 2nd cup to give her. Nicole smiled and wrapped her hands around the warm cup.

“Good. She was nice enough to hear me out.” She said. “and she agreed to the custody arrangement I offered.”

“Which was?” Connor asked. He had decided to give Nicole the space to manage this herself without his input and he was curious.

Nicole took a deep breath and told her grandfather what she had asked for and what Waverly had said about the child support. The man was deeply interested in that.

“Why so little? Why don’t you want to have the pup full time or at the very least 50/50?”

“Because I don’t want to keep her prisoner, I don’t want to separate them or make her miserable. Sure I want more time with the pup but I want her to trust me and maybe in time she will be happy to let me have some more time. Are you mad?” Nicole didn’t know what she would do if her grandfather ordered her to take more than she had offered.

The older Alpha sighed and patted her forearm.

“no, I think you made the right choice. I know this has been incredibly difficult, especially for the omega. Tell me about her.” He said and watched Nicole smile softly to herself.

“She’s a High-school teacher and she’s really intelligent. She seemed really witty too.” Nicole gushed. “She lives with her sister and niece on the family Homestead.”

“Is she pretty?” Connor teased and his granddaughter blushed. He had never seen her blush.

“Not that it matter but she’s beautiful.” Nicole said, avoiding eye contact with the old man who was smirking.

“I look forward to meeting her when she feels comfortable. Do give her my best when you speak to her next?” he said as he walked off, chuckling to himself.

The scent of an omega pregnant with their pup would have a profound effect on an Alpha but he had never seen his heir smitten before. He didn’t think that had anything to do with the pregnancy.

Maybe in time a custody agreement wouldn’t be necessary.

Chapter Text

“Hello, is this Ms Earp?” Waverly heard when she answered her phone at lunch time a few days after meeting with Nicole.

“Yes?”

“My name is Sarah, I’m calling from Dr Moody’s OBGYN clinic. We were asked by Nicole Haught to contact you about becoming a patient with us.” The friendly voice chipped. “is now a good time?”

Waverly was alone in her classroom.

“Yeah. Now is fine.”

“OK, great. So we have been filled in on the unique circumstances surrounding your pregnancy and we are committed to ensuring you and your pup receive the highest level of care. We were hoping we could get you in for an initial consultation this Friday evening at 5.30pm?”

“Yes, that works for me.” Waverly said. She finished at 2 on a Friday. “I’ll need to check with Ms Haught-“

“oh, Ms Haught said she would be available for whatever time slot you choose so no pressure.” The voice cheerfully said.

“Great, I’ll see you then.” Waverly said before they said goodbye and hung up. She sent a text message to Nicole to tell her the appointment time. The reply came instantly.

‘Thank you. How are you feeling?’

Waverly couldn’t help the little smile. She appreciated the Alpha keeping a respectful distance but still being concerned.

‘Morning sickness is no fun but by 9am I feel fine. I have developed a hatred of pickles for some reason which I’m pretty devastated by.’ She sent back. She wanted to keep it light with the Alpha in an effort to develop a relationship.

‘I am so sorry, that is definitely my fault. I really hate pickles.’ The Alpha said back and Waverly giggled.

‘you better pray I go back to liking them after baby comes or you will pay.’ Waverly replied with the crying laughing emoji.

Nicole chuckled as she read the messages from Waverly.

‘I have my fingers crossed. Are you craving anything yet?’ she wanted to keep this interaction going as long as she could.

‘Not yet but it’s still early.’ Waverly said, unsure what else to say. ‘although I’m always hungry now.’ She chuckled to herself. It was true. The past couple of days had seen a huge increase in her appetite. ‘How are you?’ she added

‘I’m good but I’ve an afternoon full of meetings so I’ll be bored stupid for the next couple of hours.’

The omega smiled to herself as she read the message and bit her bottom lip. ‘Good luck. At least you don’t have to try keep bored teens awake. I’ll see you on Friday.’ She said.

‘you will.’ The Alpha sent back with a smile emoji.

The omega smiled to herself as she put her phone in her pocket. She would ask Gus or Wynonna to come with her because she still wanted to protect herself but she didn’t think the Alpha would try something.

She text Rosita to see if the woman was felling OK. The Spanish teacher had been out sick with the flu for the past couple of days and Waverly hadn’t been able to apologise to her friend for her outburst the week before but she knew Rosita wasn’t the type to hold a grudge. They texted for the rest of lunch before Waverly had to teach her lessons.

When she got home that afternoon she asked her sister if the beta would come to then City with her and Wynonna agreed, saying they could drop Alice to Doc’s before the doctors appointment.

When Friday came, the sisters argued the entire way to the City in a whisper as Alice slept in the back.

“Would you just use it, Waverly?!” Wynonna growled quietly and the omega growled back.

“No. It makes my eyes water.”

“What if she releases her Alpha on you? Tries to make you submit?” the older sister asked as she tried to push the little tub of Vapour rub into the Omega’s hand.

“Nicole is right, I have to learn to trust her at some point. You wear it if you’re so worried.” Waverly rolled her eyes. Truthfully she needed to smell the Alpha, she hadn’t been able to her the woman’s scent from her mind and she was unhappy to have not been able to smell Nicole when she had been so close last week.

Her wolf had been exceptionally mad about it.

Wynonna kept at her to put on the strongly scented Gel when they dropped Alice off until Waverly let out a snarl.

“Stop it. Im not putting it on and I need you to behave and not antagonise Nicole. The papers haven’t been signed yet and I don’t need her getting pissed off, OK?” Waverly said and her sister huffed before agreeing.

When the GPS led them to the Doctor’s office, she saw Nicole waiting patiently, dressed how she was the first time they had met, in a fitted suit and heals, her hair falling loose around her shoulders.

Waverly bit her lip as she looked at the woman. She was so beautiful. The Alpha looked up as she got out of the jeep and have her a dimpled smile. She didn’t seem to mind Wynonna’s presence when she saw her and greeted her politely

Nicole could smell the Vapour rub off the beta like at the last meeting but she noticed Waverly wasn’t wearing it this time and the Alpha appreciated the gesture from the omega.

“Shall we go inside?” Nicole asked and Waverly nodded as she walked ahead, taking the opportunity to inhale in the sweet smell of her pup’s sire and her wolf purred in her mind.

Waverly checked in with the receptionist before sitting in the waiting room with her sister and the Alpha. The Alpha was sitting with one leg over the other and Waverly looked at her shoes. They were black with long skinny heels and a red sole. The Alpha saw her looking at her shoes with a strange expression and she wondered what was the problem

“Is everything OK?” she asked the omega who started slightly before looking embarrassed.

“How on earth do you walk in those?” Waverly asked her and Nicole snorted a laugh.

“I did some modelling in college. I was taught all the tricks to staying upright but it took a while.” She shrugged and Waverly scoffed.

Of course the Alpha was a model too.

“I don’t think I could wear those without breaking an ankle.” Waverly muttered as Nicole smiled softly.

Before anything else could be said, the nurse came out and called Waverly in before Nicole and Wynonna followed.

“Sire only please.” The nurse said and Nicole looked at Waverly while Wynonna scoffed.

“Are you ok with that, Waverly?” Nicole asked and Waverly nodded.

“it’s OK, Wy.” She said before following the nurse with the Alpha walking behind her.

They sat in the office and waited for the doctor in slightly awkward silence. They didn’t really know what to say to each other when they were alone.

Both of them were being called by the others scents and the omega really wanted to crawl into the Alpha’s lap and Bury her face into the woman’s neck but she assumed it was her pregnancy causing her omega to desire the closeness.

When the doctor came in, they were both relieved as there seemed to be a heavy tension in the room.

The man greeted them before he went through the pairs medical histories and asked them about the incident in the Willows before he asked Waverly to get up on the table so he could examine her.

“I’ll wait outside.” Nicole said, to give the omega some privacy and waited in the hall while the doctor took Waverly’s blood pressure and listened to her lungs and heart.

When he was done Dr Moody called her back inside the exam room and Waverly gave her a soft smile as she lay reclined on the table, a large paper towel tucked into her pants, leaving her lower belly exposed. Nicole looked at the omega in confusion.

“Ultrasound.” The brunette said and Nicole grinned.

“Will we see it?” she asked with excitement and Waverly thought she looked like a kid at Christmas.

“It’s much too early to see much but yes.” He smiled at the pair before squirting the conductive gel onto Waverly’s stomach as he pulled the ultra sound machine closer to the table.

The man keep screen turned to him as he pressed the wand into Waverly’s belly until he found what he was looking for and smiled.

“There they are.” He said as he turned the screen around and pressed a button. The room filled with the sounds of a heartbeat and both women’s eyes filled with tears as they heard it. On the screen they watched with delight as the fuzzy silhouette moved slightly.

“Everything looks perfect.” He said and Waverly let out a relieved breath. She could hear Nicole purr as she watched the screen.

The doctor printed out some of the scan photos and handed them to Nicole while Waverly wiped off the gel. When they sat back in front of the Doctor’s desk Nicole handed the pictures to the omega as they shared a shy smile.

The man gave them an appointment for 2 months time and told the omega to call them if she had any questions or was worried about anything before he said goodbye and the women walked out after thanking him.

As they walked back to the waiting room Waverly handed Nicole half the photos without a word and Nicole grinned as she looked at them.

“I can’t believe how active they were! Do you feel that?” Nicole asked and Waverly smiled.

“No, not yet but I don’t think it will be long before I feel something.” She answered before they got to the waiting room where Wynonna was pacing until she spotted them and walked to them.

“You ok?” the beta asked her sister as she looked at Nicole accusingly. The Alpha hung her head as Waverly huffed.

“I’m fine, Wy. We got to see them on the ultra sound, look.” She handed the photos she kept to her sister proudly.

“Cute, let’s get going.” The beta said, handing them back and leading the women outside. When they got to jeep, Waverly turned to say goodbye to the redhead as Wynonna watched them with a scowl.

“Would you like to get something to eat before for drive home?” Nicole asked the omega

Waverly smiled and was about to answer but was cut off by an angry growl from her sister.

“No. You get access to the kid, not Waverly and the kid ain’t here yet. She will see you at the next appointment. Let’s go, Baby Girl.” Wynonna said, sure the Alpha had used her scent to manipulate Waverly somehow as the omega seemed to be a little to happy to be in the Alpha’s company.

Nicole flinched back but kept her composure as Waverly watched in shock.

“Of course. I’m sorry, Waverly. I did my mean-“ the Alpha was interrupted but Waverly speaking up.

“I know, Nicole, I’m sorry about her. I’ll text you soon.” The omega reassured before she climbed into the Jeep beside her sister as Nicole walked down the side walk. “What the fuck, Wynonna?” she growled as she put on her belt.

“You don’t need to spend a single extra minute with her outside of what she put in the agreement.” The beta growled back.

“Wynonna, she did suggest we get to know each other and I agreed. She asked if I wanted food, she didn’t throw me over her shoulder and take me hostage.” The younger sister snapped back before they fell into tense silence.

“So, how does she walk in those heels?” Wynonna asked when they were half way home.

Chapter Text

Miriam grinned as her daughter arrived at the restaurant and stood to hug her.

“How are you, Dear?”

“Good.” Nicole smiled before they exchanged pleasantries until the waiter came to take their orders.

“So, tell me how is Waverly?” Miriam asked and bit back a smile when she saw her daughter’s cheeks colour slightly.

“Yeah, she’s well. The morning sickness seems to have abated so she’s feeling better.” Nicole said softly as she grinned.

“Have you asked her about coming to dinner yet? Pops and I can’t wait to meet her.” The omega said as her pup huffed.

“I haven’t asked her yet. I keep telling you that I’m not going to. She’s under no obligation to spend any time with me outside of medical appointments before the pup is here and I don’t think its fair to ask her to meet my family.” Nicole muttered, still stinging from Wynonna’s words 6 weeks before.

She had over stepped and had been quickly put back in her place, burning with shame until Waverly had text her later that same day and apologised for her sister’s behaviour. Nicole told her she had nothing to be sorry for before apologising for being too forward.

Waverly had assured her that she hadn’t found Nicole forward at all but despite that the Alpha had kept her distance as much as she could but if she hadn’t heard from Waverly for a few days, she would text the omega just to check on how she was feeling.

Nicole’s Alpha side was struggling with not being able to see the omega when she wanted, to be able to see Waverly with her own eyes, make sure her omega was really alright.

“Don’t you think she would want to at least meet some of your family? Who her pup will be spending time with? She sounds lovely from what Mercedes has told Me.” Miriam urged and Nicole scoffed.

“Mother...” Nicole groaned knowingly as she looked at her mother’s face. “Please don’t gossip.”

Her mother smirked before sighing.

“I just want meet her and get to know her. She’s the mother of your pup.” The blonde said before resting her hand on Nicole’s. “you’ve given up a lot for her and the pup. More than any other Alpha would. Why? And I know its not just because you feel bad for how you reacted or not wishing to be cruel.”

Nicole let out a heavy sigh and scratched the back of her neck.

“She’s... I don’t know... I like her and I don’t want to upset her. I couldn’t.” The younger woman growled quietly.

“Oh, Sweetheart...” Miriam cooed, sympathy heavy in her voice. Her daughter really was soft hearted, far more than any other Alpha. “So you are keeping your distance because you don’t want to get too close?”

Nicole nodded. “She has enough on her plate without me bothering her..”

“When is the next appointment?” Miriam asked.

“In a couple of weeks. I can’t wait.” She was looking forward to seeing the omega as well as her pup.

“Maybe you should get her a little gift? Just a small token. Maybe it’ll help you developed a closer relationship with her.

When Nicole got back to her Limo and checked her phone her smile broke out in a grin when she saw a text from Waverly. She opened it and saw the omega had sent her a Gif of a dancing pickle.

‘I taste for pickles has returned and so you are off the hook.’ Was written underneath to little cartoon.

Nicole laughed loudly as the car moved through traffic before she replied.

‘Thank the Gods. I was losing sleep from worry.’ She sent back with a Gif of someone wiping their brow in relief before Waverly send back a laughing emoji.

‘How’s your day?’ Nicole Read and smiled at the phone because Waverly had initiated contact.

‘Pretty boring. I just had lunch with my Mom. Nothing very exciting. How’s your day been? Apart from the pickle development.’ She sent back.

‘Are you close to your Mom? And I am enjoying a rare free weekday afternoon without classes as there is some sort of Rally happening.’

‘How do you like to relax?’ Nicole sent back. “Yeah, I’m pretty close with my Mom.’ Nicole didn’t want to bring up the omega’s parents as she knew some of Waverly’s family history. ‘and with my Grandfather.’

‘I am going to curl up with a book and a nice fire. Are they Alphas too?’ Waverly asked. Nicole and her wolf was thrilled the omega was asking her personal questions.

‘Mom is an omega. My Grandfather is the Head Alpha of the family and my sire and brothers are Alphas too.’

In Purgatory Waverly bit her lip and worried it as she read Nicole’s response. Her pup would likely be an Alpha too if Nicole’s family were full of them. She didn’t mind having an Alpha but would Nicole be upset or displeased if she gave birth to a beta or omega. And her grandfather must be exceptionally strong still be head of the family as Nicole was beyond intimidating.

‘Wow. I don’t think we have had an Alpha since the Sickness.’ She responded.

‘Probably better off, we can be Shit-tickets.’ Nicole sent back with a crying laughing emoji and Waverly giggled at the phone.

‘I still can’t believe you heard me.’ Waverly smiled as she typed. She was so happy Nicole was engaging. Since the day of the Doctor’s appointment the Alpha had been distant and other than to check how she was feeling, she never heard from the woman and Nicole’s had been stilted.

She hated how much she wanted to be around the Alpha. Talk to her.

‘Alpha hearing, remember?’ The Alpha sent back with a wink and Waverly giggled again.

‘Is your driver still as bad?’

‘No, I had to fire him but his replacement is much better.’

‘Glad to hear it. I’ve been thinking... about how you suggested we get to know each other better.’ She typed, blowing out a shaky breath.

Nicole sat up as she looked at her phone and held her breath.

‘Yeah?’

She grinned when the phone lit up and Waverly’s name appeared as it rang.

“Hello, Waverly.”

The omega preened when she heard the warmth in the Alpha’s voice.

“I think it would be a good idea.” She said sounding a little breathless.

“I would really like that.” The Alpha purred happily. “have you any suggestions as to how we do that?”

“Well, we could call each other and maybe get some food together before the next appointment?” Waverly asked.

Nicole wanted to shout Yes down the phone but she hesitated for a moment, long enough for Waverly to splutter slightly

“If you don’t-“ the omega was cut off as Nicole barked.

“No! Waverly, I do. I just don’t want you to think you have to spend time with me-“

“I don’t. Look, I’m sorry about what Wynonna said. She was out of line and unfair.”

“Was she? I have already inserted myself into your life and the pregnancy. It would be very selfish to ask you to share your free time with me.” Nicole reasoned but smiled when Waverly huffed.

“I’m the one suggesting it, Nicole.” The omega said and the Alpha melted at the little growl in the brunette voice.

“I would love to.” She purred and Waverly let out a happy little yip.

“Good. I’ll call you soon.” The omega said before she hung up.

Nicole looked at the phone in delight and surprise before she hit the call button on the Limo ceiling.

“Levi, can you bring me to somewhere I can by a baby gift, please?”

Chapter Text

Waverly pulled up outside the restaurant she was meeting Nicole at. It was a Korean barbecue place that Waverly had chosen after Nicole told her to pick their meeting place.

Waverly was really looking forward to seeing the Alpha again. She had spoken to Nicole every day via text and a couple of times they spoke over phone.

Nicole was always sweet and funny and Waverly had found herself looking forward to spending some time in her presence.

She wrapped herself in her jacket and scarf to protect herself from the freezing rain outside. It was early December and Waverly hated this weather.

When she got inside the restaurant, Nicole’s scent hit her and she followed it to a table in the far corner. The Alpha smiled as Waverly walked towards her.

She stood and helped the omega out of her jacket without a word. She thanked Nicole quietly as her wolf purred at having the Alpha so close. Nicole pulled out a chair for the omega to sit before taking a seat across from Waverly.

“No Wynonna?” Nicole asked with surprise before Waverly snorted.

“Disappointed?” the omega asked and the Alpha nodded her head before grinning.

“only because I’ve spent the last few days preparing myself for her barbs.” The Alpha chuckled and Waverly sighed.

“I’m sorry, she’s always been very protective of me but she really shouldn’t be hard on you.”

“No, I deserve it.” Nicole sad with a sad smile and the omega shook her head.

“No you don’t.” The omega said before the waiter came over with menus.

Once they had chosen their lunch they smiled shyly at each other. Nicole rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. She was at a loss as to what to saw but Waverly chuckled.

“will you relax, please?” the omega asked softly, with a gentle smile on her face. Waverly could tell the Alpha was nervous and it put her slightly at ease. The redhead was also dressed casually in a blue and black flannel hoodie and dark jeans. The Alpha in a suit was absolutely breathtaking, all sharp lines and power, but she was really cute dressed casually.

Nicole blew out a hard breath. “Sorry.” She grimaced before awkwardly chuckling.

“Can I ask you a question?” Waverly asked, resting her chin on her chin. Nicole’s mouth went dry as she looked into the Omega’s eyes.

“Uh...yeah, sure.” The Alpha said and Waverly gave her a small smile.

“What do you want the pup to be?” the omega asked.

The Alpha tilted her head at the question but didn’t break the eye contact. “I don’t mind.” Nicole shrugged and saw a mildly surprised look on the brunette’s face.

“I thought you would want an Alpha pup?” Waverly said, instinctually knowing the Alpha was being truthful. Nicole chuckled and ran her fingers through her hair.

“Honestly, I think we could do with a few less Alphas in my family. I also know that the first born Alpha pup has expectations put on them and that isn’t necessarily a good thing. I would hate for my pup to have to carry that weight. But regardless of what they are, I am gonna love them like crazy!” the Alpha said wistfully and Waverly’s wolf purred as they listened to the woman. “What about you? Are you hoping for a boy or girl?”

Waverly shook her head and was about to answer but was interrupted by the waiter returning with their food. When they thanked him and he walked away Waverly picked up her spoon but she was still looking at Nicole.

“I don’t have any preferences really.” She actually thought the pup was an Alpha but she wasn’t going to tell Nicole yet.

As they ate Nicole asked Waverly about her teaching job and listened intently as the omega talked about her students. She was rambling slightly but Nicole was transfixed as she listened to the woman while her food remained barely touched.

Nicole could listen to the omega talk for hours. Waverly was smart and quick witted, getting animated as she talked about her students and the subjects themselves.

When Waverly suddenly stopped talking Nicole tilted her head again.

“What’s wrong?” she asked, frowning a little as she tried to figure out what had happened to make the omega stop.

“Sorry, I tend to ramble when I get on a subject I like.” Waverly said with an embarrassed shake of her head but Nicole leaned forward and shook her own head.

“You weren’t rambling, I was enjoying listening to you.” The Alpha said softly, making Waverly blush.

“Can I ask you something else?” she asked after a moment and Nicole nodded again. “Why did you go to the clinic if you weren’t making a donation?”

Nicole sat back in her chair and scratched her cheek, not having expected that question.

“I wanted to see if I was infertile. I figured it was better to know sooner than later. I didn’t want to deal with disappointment down because I’ve always wanted kids.” She shrugged. “can I ask you something?”

“Of course.” Waverly said.

“Why did you go to the clinic to become a single mom?” Nicole asked, no judgement in her tone but quickly shook her head. “I’m sorry, you don’t have to answer that, that was a very personal-“

Waverly cut her off with a chuckle. “It’s fine. I never had any luck with dating and I didn’t want to wait years for the possibility of finding someone to have pups with. I want to be a mom much more than I want to be someone’s wife.” She said and Nicole nodded.

“Understandable.” The Alpha liked Waverly’s independence.

When it was time to leave for Dr Moody’s, Nicole offered to drive them in her SUV and Waverly happily accepted. The thought of being in a small space surrounded by Nicole’s scent made her shiver with anticipation.

The Alpha led her to the vehicle and held the door open for the omega. Her wolf’s tail wagged as Waverly smiled up at her coyly.

Inside the car Nicole put on the car’s heating and Waverly let out a pleased yip when she felt the seat warmers turn on beneath her. The Alpha bit back a smile as her wolf proudly howled to have made the omega comfortable.

They drove through the City in comfortable silence but they both kept stealing glances at the other. Waverly felt so relaxed in the woman’s presence she felt like curling up and sleeping.

She had really begun to trust Nicole over the past couple of weeks. She wanted to spend some time alone with her so she hadn’t told Wynonna where she had gone but Curtis knew. If her sister had heard she was planning on meeting the Alpha alone Wynonna would have flipped out on her.

She didn’t need to listen to her sister ranting at her so she had decided to go alone so she and Nicole could be more at ease.

When they got to the Doctor’s office, Nicole got out and opened the omega’s door for her. They walked inside together and the omega checked in before they sat in the waiting room. It was quite busy in the clinic that day so the pair had no choice but to sit close together.

Well... they didn’t have to sit quiet as close as they were but neither of them were complaining about their sides pressing together.

Nicole picked up a pamphlet and began to peruse it while Waverly looked around the waiting room. She saw many of the Omegas openly ogling her pup’s sire and all of the betas fidgeting uncomfortably at being in such close proximity to the Alpha, who’s scent was as neutral as it could be but she was the strongest Alpha any of them had ever met, if they had indeed met one before.

Waverly’s wolf growled possessively as they watched one omega preen in an attempt to get Nicole’s attention but the Alpha seemed oblivious to her. The stranger pouted her lips and seemed to be about to wave her hand in the redheads face but the woman stopped her eyes met Waverly’s.

She froze as the brunette gave her a stern look and put her hand down and sat back. Waverly looked at Nicole who was now watching her with great interest. Waverly blushed and looked away which made Nicole grin.

She had been very aware of the other woman’s attempt to get her attention but had ignored it. She had felt Waverly get tense beside her and had furtively watched her pup’s mother cut the woman in two with a look. She wondered if the omega was just being possessive because of her pregnancy or was it something else?

She hoped it was the latter but either way Nicole liked the omega staking a claim on her.

“Wipe that smirk off your face this instant.” Waverly muttered, taking the pamphlet out of Nicole’s hand and pretending to read it as the Alpha only grinned even wider, her dimples cutting deep craters in her cheeks as she picked up another pamphlet.

“Are you getting enough folic acid?” The Alpha asked her in a stage whisper after a moment and Waverly let out a snort of laughter and covered her mouth.

Nicole really liked making the omega laugh and Waverly really liked that the Alpha seemed to have a goofy side.

When they were called in by Dr Moody, everyone watched them leave the waiting room, everyone seeing clearly who the Alpha belonged to as she looked at the omega softly.

The doctor greeted them and asked Waverly a series of questions and when he was satisfied with the omega’s answers he told her to get up on the exam table so he could do the Ultrasound.

Nicole turned her back so Waverly could undo her leggings to expose her belly and when the omega told her she could look, Nicole smiled before looking at Waverly’s exposed stomach and her jaw dropped.

“You have a bump!” she announced and Waverly giggled.

“you tend to develop one when you have a baby inside you.” Waverly teased and Nicole grinned as she looked at the neat little bump.

Before either of them could say anything else Dr Moody began to prepare Waverly for the scan.

“Would you like to know the sex?” he asked with a smile. “I might not be able to tell if they aren’t in the right position but if I am...?”

Waverly looked up at the Alpha but the redhead smiled down at her.

“You decide.”

“I don’t want to know until they are born.” Waverly told her and Nicole's smile grew.

“Me either.” The Alpha winked and the doctor began the scan.

The pup’s heart beat filled the room and Waverly leaned her head on Nicole’s shoulder before letting out a contented sigh. The Alpha purred loudly.

“everything looks excellent. Its a pity you don’t want to know. They have no shame!” the doctor joked and the expecting parents chuckled. He moved around the wand, taking a few photos of the pup from a different angle before turning the screen to them.

The pup's mothers gasped when they saw my much more developed the pup was now.

“All going well I won’t see you until the 7 month mark but we are only a call away if you are concerned about anything.” The man said as Waverly cleaned off the gel.

As the brunette pulled up her leggings her breath hitched and she grabbed the Alpha’s hand and pressed it against her bump. Nicole’s surprised turned to awe as she felt a flutter under her fingers as her body vibrated at touching the omega’s skin foe the first time.

“Is that...?” the Alpha said with a gulp and Waverly nodded.

“does it hurt?” Nicole’s eyes were full of concern but the omega shook her head.

“Wynonna said as they get bigger its going to use my bladder as a trampoline.”

Nicole laughed and they fell into comfortable silence, the Alpha’s hand still resting on the omega’s belly. Waverly’s body felt electrified and she didn’t want this moment they were sharing to end. She felt so at peace.

But alas it did end when Nicole realised that she was still cupping the omega’s small bump with her hand and pulled it away quickly with a slightly apologetic expression.

When they got back into the car and pulled out into the late afternoon traffic to go back to the omega’s jeep, Nicole pointed to the glovebox and smiled at the smaller woman.

Waverly opened the pocket to find a gift bag and pulled it out.

“What’s this?” Waverly sounded incredibly unsure as she held up the item. She didn’t want the Alpha to buy her things. Nicole gave her an excited look.

“It’s for the baby.” The Alpha said.

Waverly opened the bag and breath a sigh of relief when she saw that the gift was a white baby grow before turning it around and laughing when she read the words printed on it.

“’If you think I’m cute, you should see my sire’. That’s adorable but I don’t want to let my child start life off by lying.” Waverly teased the Alpha who clutched her chest dramatically.

“Ouch!” she hissed, shaking her head and Waverly giggled at the Alpha’s antics.

“Thank you, Nicole. I love it.” The omega said truthfully. It was a sweet gesture.

When they got back to the Korean barbecue place they both felt a sense of disappointment that the day was over. Nicole helped the Omega out of the SUV and they walked slowly to the jeep. They walked close enough to slightly bump off each other as Waverly clutched the gift bag.

“What is your plan for the rest of the day?” Waverly asked, delaying their parting. Nicole smiled.

“I am going to meet my Mom, she’s eager to see the new scan. My phone’s been buzzing all day and I know its her.” Nicole had put her phone on vibrate and had ignored it entirely in favour of giving the omega her undivided attention.

“Is she excited?” the omega asked.

“Yes, she’s already turning into the doting grandmother. Speaking of my mother,” Nicole added awkwardly, “she wants to invite you to dinner so she can meet you. My Grandfather too. If you would like? Or not? It’s completely up to you.”

Waverly shrugged. “Can I ask them to share embarrassing stories about you?” she asked with a cheeky smile. Nicole laughed and nodded.

“if you like.” She grinned and felt the urge to kiss the omega but stopped herself before she did something stupid.

“OK, deal.” The omega said before a sharp gust of wind made her shiver and Nicole smiled softly and opened the driver’s door for the omega.

“drive safe.” The Alpha purred and Waverly nodded before they said goodbye and the redhead shut the door and watched the omega drive away.

Chapter Text

“Nothing fits.” Waverly groaned as she looked at her reflection in the mirror in her room. Wynonna was sitting on her bed and looked up from her phone.

“Wear one of your dresses then.” The beta huffed from her seat and Waverly sighed

“It’s too cold. I’ll just wear my leggings.” The omega said and went to her closet.

“Why are you doing yourself up for? You’re just having dinner with the Alpha and her parents.”

“So?” Waverly growled in frustration and rolled her eyes when her sister took a breath. She knew exactly what was coming.

“Why cant I go with you? Or Gus? It’s ridiculous that you want to go alone! You don’t know these people.”

Waverly bit back a growl. This had been all they would talk about for the past week since Waverly had told her sister about meeting Nicole’s mother and grandfather. Wynonna didn’t like that the omega had seemed to be getting closer to the Alpha and she really didn’t like the idea of Waverly being alone in the Haught Alphas home without someone there that would protect her.

“Wynonna, I really need you to back off a little. I know you are just looking out for me but Nicole and I are trying to make the best of a really hard and messy situation and the best way we can think to do that is to bond. Nicole’s family is this pup’s family and I would like to get to know them for that reason.” Waverly explained as calmly as she could for the tenth time.

“But why do you want to go alone?” The beta asked again.

“Because you wont be able to help yourself. I don’t want any drama. Nicole took what you said on the chin but she is an Alpha and she is only going to take so much and if her grandfather is stronger and more powerful than her? He might not be so lenient with you.” Waverly said. “I love you, Nonna, but you are really talented at pissing people off.” She added affectionately.

“and you’re staying there overnight because...?” the older sister asked and Waverly chuckled.

“Because its a long drive over and back. Its snowing. And I want to relax. I told you I’ll contact you when I get there. I promise.” The omega said.

Waverly had been really excited when Nicole offered her a place to stay for the evening in her townhouse when they were making plans surrounding the dinner. Nicole had offered to come and pick up the omega so she didn’t have to drive in the snowy conditions but Waverly assured her she would be fine.

Her omega side was looking forward to being surrounded by Nicole’s scent, in her den, for the night. Both Waverly and her wolf missed the sweet Alpha and every time she though about her she felt a flush of warmth. The more she got to know the Alpha, the more she trusted her. She now knew for certain that the woman’s reaction in the bar was not how Nicole normally behaved.

The Alpha had told Waverly she was free to bring her sister or someone else to the dinner but Waverly told her that she would prefer not to bring her sister.

Waverly finished getting ready, she dressed in black leggings, her knee high boots, a loose maroon sweater, put on light makeup and let her hair fall over her shoulders in loose curls.

“I’ll call you later, Wy. Don’t worry.” She said as she picked up her overnight bag. “Do not let Alice stay up half the night eating junk and watching movies.” She warned her sister and the beta scowled.

“I am her mother.” Wynonna scoffed but Waverly scoffed back.

“And I’m not cleaning up her vomit in the morning. So?” the omega warned and the beta pouted like a petulant child.

“Fine.”

Waverly went to Alice to say goodnight before she left the house and made her way to the City, following the GPS to the pin Nicole dropped for her.

When Waverly got to the City, she gasped when she found herself in that beautiful street filled with the redbrick Georgian style homes lining either side. She found a parking spot and text Nicole that she had arrived.

Inside her home the Alpha grinned when she saw the omega’s text and Miriam and Connor saw Nicole’s face light up before she excused herself to meet the omega outside.

The pair exchanged knowing smiles as Nicole hurried from the living room.

“She’s smitten.” Connor chuckled and Miriam nodded in agreement.

“I am looking forward to meeting this omega.” The blonde woman sighed. “She must be something special.”

Outside Nicole jogged down the stairs as she scented the air and followed her nose to see Waverly walking towards her through the snow. She could see the omega was smiling and she strode towards her.

“Hey! How are you?” Nicole asked with a beaming smile as she reached Waverly.

“Fine. A little nervous. But fine.” The omega smiled and took the arm the Alpha offered her, resting her hand in the crook of Nicole’s elbow.

“Don’t be nervous. You have nothing to worry about. Mom and Pops are really looking forward to meeting you.” The redhead reassured her.

Nicole led her up the steps into the nice warm foyer of the house and helped Waverly out of her jacket and took her bag which she handed to the butler who brought them upstairs to the omega’s guest room. The omega inhaled the Alpha’s strong scent which was deeply embedded in the fabric of the home but she was surprised to find the other Alpha’s scent wasn’t as strong as her Alpha’s.

Nicole gave her a reassuring wink as she brought the omega to the living room door. Waverly took a deep breath and realised Nicole was waiting for her to be ready so she nodded before the Alpha pushed open the door and showed her guest inside.

Waverly walked into the richly decorated room and saw a willowy, omega woman with blond hair in a perfect up do and perfect makeup, wearing an elegant dress and beaming smile so like Nicole’s, dimples and all. She was standing next to an old man in a crisp suit and leaning on a cane. He also smiling kindly.

“Mom, Alpha, this is Waverly Earp. Waverly, this is my Mother, Miriam, and my Grandfather, Connor Haught.”

When Nicole finished the introductions, Waverly gave them a shy smile and wave.

“Hello.” She said nervously and Miriam stepped forward and hugged the younger omega.

“Waverly, it’s so nice to meet you finally.” The woman said warmly before Connor approached and shook their guest hand.

“It is wonderful to meet you, Ms Earp. You are very welcome to our home.” The man said kindly and Waverly felt her nerves calm.

“Thank you for having me.” Waverly said softly as she unconsciously leaned closer to the Female Alpha beside her in a move the older pair noticed.

“We have been looking forward to meeting you.” He said and they all took seats as the large crackling fire sounds filled the room and they made polite chitchat for a couple of minutes before Miriam began to ask the omega about her life.

“I think it is so wonderful that you are a teacher. Do you like it?” Miriam had gotten a degree in Art history but Nicholas had refused to let his omega work after they mated.

“I really love it.” Waverly said. “if it wasn’t for the teenagers it would be a perfect job.” She joked

Nicole and Connor sat back and let the Omegas chat, taking everything in. Nicole could tell Waverly was getting more and more comfortable as she and her mother chatted.

Connor watched Nicole smile as she looked at Waverly softly. He bit back a smile.

He could see why his granddaughter seemed so fond of the young woman. Waverly was an exceptionally beautiful woman but the more he listened he found out she was also intelligent and funny. He was surprised by how Waverly and Nicole’s scents complimented each other so well. He couldn’t help thinking what a pleasant couple they would make as Waverly looked back at Nicole and smiled at her.

When it was time for dinner to be served Miriam took Waverly by the hand and led her from the room, still chatting away, as the Alphas followed.

Connor patted his Grandpup's shoulder.

“She’s positively charming.” He whispered and gave Nicole a smile as she blushed.

Nicole couldn’t help wishing Waverly was here as her girlfriend because she was delighted her mother and grandfather liked the omega.

They sat down at the table and the butler served dinner. The atmosphere was so warm and light as conversation moved on to the pregnancy.

“You must be so excited?” Miriam gushed and Waverly smiled but before she could answer, Nicole sat up and froze, the door to the dining room opened and a redheaded man walked in and scowled.

“what’s this?” Nicholas asked with a growl as Waverly tensed. This Alpha smelled terrible, nothing like Nicole or Connor.

“What are you doing here?” Miriam asked, the sweetness in her voice gone.

“Was my invitation to this little gathering misplaced?” He sneered before his eyes landed on Waverly as he sniffed the air. “Ah. The omega.” He walked towards her but Nicole growled at him.

“Don’t even think about it.” The redheaded female warned before she and Waverly made eye contact and the omega gave her a small smile as the man sat at the table and ordered the Butler to serve him a plate.

“Imagine my surprise when I came home to find my Mate wasn’t there and was in my father’s house.” Nicholas huffed and Nicole scoffed.

“because she was invited and you were not.” She said and the man snarled.

“Shut up, you mouthy bitch.” He spat and Waverly growled at him which surprised everyone else. Miriam and Connor shared a smile while Waverly gave a smiling Nicole an apologetic look before Nicholas scoffed.

“Why is she still pregnant? I thought we were making her get rid of it?” he smirked before looking at Waverly. “Surely you don’t want to have a pup with this freak Alpha?” he said

Waverly arched a brow. She could tell this man was actually prick and she didn’t like how he was speaking about Nicole. “What?” she asked, dangerously.

Connor wanted to shut his son up but he was curious to see what the omega was going to do.

“a female Alpha siring your child? Surely you see what an embarrassment that is?” Nicholas asked and Waverly saw her Alpha’s face flash with hurt and Waverly was not going to tolerate that.

“The only embarrassment I see is you.” Waverly snarked. “I certainly have no issue with Nicole being a female Alpha or the fact she sired this pup so shut Up.” She said before she looked back at Nicole who’s expression was unreadable.

Nicholas slammed a hand on the table angrily and pointed at the omega but Nicole knocked him back with a terrifying snarl before he could say anything.

“Leave.” She told him as she stood up. Nicholas sneered before stomping from the room. The tension dissipated instantly. “Waves, are you ok?”

Waverly nodded and grimaced “I’m sorry for being rude.” She said as Miriam let out a delighted laugh.

“Oh, Sweetheart, you were wonderful.” The other omega praised honestly before Connor nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Waverly spent some more time with Miriam as Connor sat beside his granddaughter

“I can see why you like her so much.” The older Alpha smiled and Nicole’s heart fluttered as she watched her mother and Waverly laugh about something on the other side of the room.

Waverly defending her to her father had surprised her but also made her feel a longing she had never felt before.

When it was close to midnight Miriam hugged Waverly and told her she hoped to see her soon before she left for home and Connor told the pregnant omega it was delightful to meet her before his nurse came to help him into bed.

When the younger pair were alone, Nicole took Waverly’s hand and ran a thumb over the omega’s knuckles.

“Thank you for earlier.” She whispered and Waverly shrugged

“Your dad is a Shit-ticket.” The omega said and Nicole chuckled before she and Waverly locked eyes. They moved closer but the carriage clock on the mantle chimed as it hit midnight.

They chuckled awkwardly as they put some distance between and left the room. Nicole showed Waverly to the guest room she had set up for her and when she went to leave, the omega hugged her. Nicole was caught off guard but recovered quickly and wrapped her arms around the omega, pumping out happy pheromones as she purred.

Waverly felt so safe in the Alpha’s arms she didn’t want to step away

They stayed like that for a couple of minutes before Nicole knew she needed to leave or she would over step. She kissed the Omega’s forehead gently before she stepped away.

“Goodnight, Waverly. I’m just next-door if you need anything.” She promised.

“Thank you, Cole.” Waverly whispered and watched the Alpha close the door behind her.

Chapter Text

Waverly huffed when she woke up early the next morning, checking her phone and seeing it was only 6 am.

She hadn’t slept well because her wolf had been unsettled. To be in the Alpha’s home, smell her so strongly, have her so near and not be with her. She wanted to be back in Nicole’s arms again. It had felt so right to be pressed against her and to feel her strong arms around Waverly’s smaller body.

She bit her lip and wondered what Nicole would do if she went next-door and told the Alpha she just wanted to be near to her. She didn’t think the Alpha would turn her away. She could always blame it on the pregnancy and her omega but honestly she liked Nicole and she knew it had nothing to do with her pup.

Nicole was so sweet and kind, a little goofy and smart as well as being insanely beautiful and Waverly couldnt help wishing they had conceived this pup the old fashioned way.

She decided to see if the Alpha was asleep and left the bedroom. She walked to the Alpha’s door but smelled her scent coming through a door at the end of a hall. She walked towards it and heard the sounds of grunts and growls from behind it. She smelled the scents of two more Alpha’s and became concerned. She opened the door and saw she was in a large room containing a Gym and a ring where Nicole and a blonde woman were MMA fighting while a man shouted instructions and encouragement from the side lines.

Waverly’s mouth went dry when she saw Nicole in a sports bra and skin tight shorts, sweat coating her body as her muscles flexed. Waverly gasped and distracted Nicole, making her take her eyes off her opponent and the woman’s caught her with a punch to the face.

Nicole fell back with a pain filled yelp and landed on the canvas as the other 2 Alphas rushed to her and Waverly followed.

“Dude, I’m so sorry!” the blonde said as Nicole groaned as she pinched her nose gently.

Nicole sat up with the man’s help and saw the omega.

“Nicole, you ok?” Waverly asked as she climbed into the ring and knelt beside the woman who was still pinching her nose.

Nicole was mortified, she hadn’t left herself open like that in years or take a hit this bad, of course it had to happen when Waverly was there to see it.

“Let me see.” Waverly instructed, gently pulling the Alpha’s hand away and seeing the torrent of blood run down her chin before she took the towel that appeared in front of her eyes and using it to pinch the Alpha’s nose again Waverly tilted Nicole’s head back and stroked her cheek as she took a closer look. “I don’t think it’s broken.” The brunette whispered and Nicole grinned

“How do you know?” she whined playfully and the omega smiled.

“Because I grew up with Wynonna. Girl got in so many fights she broke her nose too many times to count.” Waverly chuckled.

“Yeah, I can believe that.” The Alpha huffed. “Are you ok? I’m sorry we woke you.”

“You didn’t. I couldn’t sleep.” Waverly said before she remembered the other people and spotted a familiar face. “You’re the man from the bar.”

He smiled nervously and nodded. “You aren’t armed are you?”

“Not this time.” She said and Nicole smiled.

“You must be Waverly.” The blond woman smiled, “I’m Eliza. Im so glad you were here to witness my greatness she teased, punching Nicole’s arm and the redhead huffed.

“As if you could get another hit like that in, in this lifetime.” Nicole said in a faux growl before rolling her eyes good naturedly before she held up her arm to the woman who helped her stand.

Waverly was not prepared for the woman to stand up and have her groin at eye level from where she was kneeling. Nicole’s shorts were tight, really tight. Her hazel eyes widened when she ran her eyes up the Alpha’s body.

Nicole was all sculpted muscles and smooth alabaster skin. The Alpha smirked as she reached down to help the omega to her feet, still pinching her nose. Waverly blushed prettily before Xavier cleared his throat.

“we better get going.” He said pointedly to Eliza but the blond woman shook her head and grinned.

“No, I don’t gotta be anywhere.” She could tell the other female Alpha and the omega had something going on and she planned on teasing Nicole, embarrassing her friend.

“Fuck off, E.” Nicole growled before the 3 Alphas chuckled and said goodbye.

“lets get you cleaned up.” Waverly said after clearing her throat awkwardly. “Do you get your ass handed to you often?” She asked and Nicole groaned as the omega giggled.

Nicole led the omega through her bedroom to the ensuite and Waverly’s knees almost buckled as the scent of Nicole was so strong in this room. She looked at the bed and wished she could nest in it but she followed the Alpha into the bathroom, trying not to stare at her amazing ass.

Waverly told Nicole to sit down on the closed toilet lid and the redhead did so, rather liking this bossy side of the omega. Waverly wet a cloth and carefully pulled the towel away from Nicole’s face and into the laundry basket.

“You’ve already stopped bleeding.” Waverly smiled as she cupped Nicole’s face and began to clean away the blood gently. She sucked in a breath when she saw the nasty bruise on the left side of the Alpha’s nose. “Oh, you poor thing.” The omega cooed as she took in the woman’s injury.

Nicole was still smarting from her embarrassing hit but it was a balm to have the omega taking care of her and Waverly’s fingers felt so good on her skin and that sweet apple pie scent surrounded her and she was so close to the omega’s belly Nicole was tempted to lay her head on the bump.

“Hey?” Waverly asked with concern when the Alpha didn’t say anything. “are you ok?”

Nicole smiled up at her and nodded slowly. “I’m fine apart from the bruised ego.” She pouted dramatically. Waverly shook her head and smirked.

“Well it was very impressive before you caught that right hook with your face.” The omega joked as she lifted up Nicole’s arms and took off the woman’s padded sparring gloves while the Alpha groaned again.

“I can’t believe you saw that.”

“Oh, I thoroughly enjoyed it.” Waverly chirped as she washed her hands. Nicole chuckled and flinched when she smiled as her cheek hurt when she did. “I’m going to get some ice. Get cleaned up and ill be back soon.”

Nicole was awestruck by the woman. It felt right to have the omega in her space and it felt amazing to be cared for by the woman.

She quickly showered and dressed before a dressed Waverly was back with a bag of frozen peas which she handed to her.

“Thank you...” the redhead said. Waverly shook her head and smiled.

“I couldn’t have you walking around all disfigured and scaring people.” Waverly joked and Nicole smiled again and again she flinched but she couldnt care less. The omega was worth smiling about.

“Can I take you out for breakfast to say thank you?” Nicole asked, hoping the omega wasn’t sick of her yet.

Waverly sighed dramatically. “Can you wear a bag over your head?” she joked before Waverly yelped because the Alpha pinched her hip playfully. Waverly slapped her hand as she giggled and backed away. “I would love to have breakfast with you. Come on.”

They left the house and went to Waverly’s jeep. It had snowed heavily over night and it was so cold. As soon as they were in the Jeep Waverly blasted the heat before following Nicole’s directions to a side street.

There was a pretty bistro that Nicole loved. She had never brought anyone here before but she wanted to share it with Waverly.

Inside it was small and intimate even this early in the morning. The waitress greeted them with a smile and told them to sit wherever so Waverly lead them to the back of the room and Nicole helped her out of her jacket.

“How’s your face?” Waverly asked as they sat and Nicole chuckled.

“It looks worse than it is. It’ll be fine in a couple of days.”

They ordered waffles with strawberries and cream and Waverly had never tasted anything so good. She let out a moan when she put a forkful in her mouth that made Nicole’s eyes flashed gold as her jaw dropped.

The Alpha had fallen for Waverly and every day she fell further for the woman.

After breakfast they went back to the house so Waverly could get her things but when they entered the foyer they ran into Miriam.

“Hel- Nicole, what the hell happened to you?!” The omega asked in shock.

“She got a little handsy so I had to punch her.” Waverly joked and Miriam sighed in disappointment at her daughter who was spluttering

“I didnt!” Nicole whined as Waverly giggled before telling the other omega what had actually happened then added, “if I had punched her, her nose would have been broken.”

Miriam was absolutely charmed by the other girl and she watched as her daughter never took her eyes off the smaller woman.

“I was wondering if you would like to come shopping with me?” she asked Waverly. “I heard about a wonderful Maternity boutique from one of my friends.”

“I would love to but I only have an hour before I gotta get back home for my niece by 2.” Waverly said brightly and Miriam beamed.

“Are you joining us?” she asked her daughter and Nicole gave Waverly a questioning look.

The Alpha didn’t want to impose on the pair or suffocate the pregnant woman but Waverly gave her a sweet smile and nodded slightly so Nicole nodded.

Miriam smirked as she watched the young pair. Her daughter wasn’t the only one who was smitten.

Chapter Text

Nicole followed the Omegas around the store as the smaller women cooed over the adorable baby clothing. She was running her eyes over some of the baby furniture.

She knew she would have to set up a room for the pup for when she would have them but she also was aware that when the pup was born, she and Waverly wouldn’t be spending time together like they were now.

The only time they would see each other would be at their child’s hand-offs. Nicole felt sick at the thought of not being in the omega’s presence. She scowled when a thought hit her

What would happen when Waverly met someone else?

Logically, Nicole knew she had no claim on Waverly. Nothing romantic had ever happened between them nor was it likely too. Sure she sensed the woman’s attraction to her but she also knew it was likely only because she was the sire of her pup. Pregnancy did strange things to omegas.

But Nicole’s wolf and her heart revolted at the very thought of not being with the omega. Losing her to another made her let out a little growl.

“Nicole?” she heard through her thoughts and saw her mother and Waverly looking at her in question. “Are you ok?” Miriam asked and Nicole realised she had growled out loud.

“Sorry, uh... face hurts a little.” She said lamely and the omegas looked at each other. Miriam shook her head and continued walking but Waverly took a few steps toward Nicole and gave her a concerned look

“Are you alright?”

“Yeah, sorry. I scratched my cheek and hit the bruise. Have you found anything you like?” Nicole asked.

“A few bits but I’ve already found the furniture I’m getting for them. What about you? Have you started setting up a nursery yet?”

Nicole shook her head and smiled Awkwardly. “No, not yet. I was going to wait until closer to the time.”

“Waverly, are you planning on breastfeeding or bottle?” Miriam asked.

“Christ, Mom!” Nicole yelped, mortified and Waverly chuckled at the look on her face.

“I wanted to breastfeed but I was going to talk to Nicole about it.” The younger omega said but the redhead shook her head.

“Nope, that is entirely your decision. Not my titties, not my decision.” Nicole said awkwardly.

“Mature.” Waverly muttered teasingly and Miriam chuckled at her daughter.

“I just wanted to know if you needed a breast pump, Darling.” She said to Waverly. “if you want to breastfeed, you’ll have to pump for Nicole’s weekends.” The blond woman said.

Waverly bit her lip sadly at the thought of not having her pup all the time nor the Alpha ever in the future.

“Mom, I’m not going to have the pup at all when they are really young. Its more important for them to be in a routine with feeding and everything for the first couple of months.” Nicole said before looking at Waverly, realising they hadn’t decided on that but she had just thought it was obvious. “Sorry-“

“Really?” Waverly asked, her expression unreadable as Miriam growled.

“Nicole, it’s not fair to expect Waverly to do all the work after giving birth!” Miriam scolded but her pup huffed.

“Obviously I’m not saying that. Ugh...” she groaned before looking at Waverly, “I will be around as much or as little as you allow those first few months, and if you would prefer to have me take the pup when they’re younger then I will.” She told the now smiling brunette.

“Really?”

“Yeah.” Nicole said.

“Nicole, maybe you should call your aunt in Purgatory and ask her if you could stay in one of the guestrooms for a few months so you can be close by. Or rent somewhere?” Miriam said casually, fully enjoying herself.

Nicole glared at her meddling mother and missed Waverly’s delighted expression.

The younger women looked at each other and Waverly saw how helpless the Alpha looked and hoped that it wasn’t because she didn’t want to be that close by.

“I think it’s only fair you get to see them a lot in those first few weeks too. If you want to?” Waverly said as she looked up at the Alpha and Nicole gave her the deepest dimpled smile she had ever seem

The woman looked like a kid at Christmas.

“Yeah, I would love that!” Nicole’s wolf was thrilled and the woman was so excited at being able to be there for her pup and her om- nope, Waverly wasn’t hers but she would take such good care of them both.

Miriam smirked gleefully as she put the breast pump back on the shelf and walked off.

“Plus if you think I am changing 100% of the diapers you need to revaluate your life.” Waverly added and patted Nicole’s chest before going back to browsing.

Nicole watched the brunette with a small, soft smile. She felt so lucky to be having this pup with such a sweet and forgiving omega and she made a silent vow to always take care of her.

Waverly and Miriam were now looking at Maternity clothes, laughing and chatting, and Nicole was happy they seemed to be getting on.

She walked closer to them then stopped when she saw a beautiful cream diaper bag with Teddy bears stitched into the side. She picked it up and examined it before seeing a matching bag that was bigger. Waverly would need a Hospital go bag for when it was time for baby to come.

She picked up the second bag before going to the sleepwear section. She picked up a couple of pyjama sets and slippers. She looked around for Waverly. They made eye contact and Nicole made her way to the brunette.

“Whats all this?” Waverly asked as Nicole showed her what was in her hands.

“I thought maybe I could get you these for the hospital? If you like them?” Nicole asked hopefully and Waverly gave her an affectionate smile.

“I don’t need you to get me these, Cole.” The omega purred and Nicole smiled at the nickname the omega gave her

She never let anyone give her a nickname as most people shortened it to ‘Nick’ and that was her brother and fathers name. But no one ever called her ‘Cole’ before and she was all too happy for it to be Waverly’s name for her.

“I want to.” The Alpha said. “If you like them, that is?”

“They are very nice.” Waverly said and went back to Miriam.

Nicole grinned and walked to the counter with her purchases.

Waverly watched the Alpha out of the corner of her eye and bit back a smile as she did. She liked Nicole. Really liked her. She felt lucky once again that it was Nicole who sired this pup and she couldnt wait to have her around more.

She was so touched by Nicole’s thoughtfulness and she appreciated the Alpha’s generosity when it came to the custody. No other Alpha would be so kind.

She turned and saw Miriam looking at her knowingly.

“She’s always been special.” The blond woman whispered. “I grew up around a lot of Alphas and she is nothing like them. She still feels terrible for how she spoke to you that day in the bar. It was very unlike her.”

Waverly sighed sadly and shook her head. “I’ve told her many times she was forgiven. She got a terrible shock. Emotions were running high but I knew she wasn’t going to harm me.”

“Thank you for letting us be in the pup’s life. I know you were put in a terrible situation so I appreciate you being quiet lovely about all of this.” Miriam said gratefully and squeezed the younger woman’s arm softly.

Miriam insisted that Waverly try on some outfits that she thought would suit the pregnant woman and stretch with her bump. Miriam thought Waverly was a stunning young woman and the older woman found her to be utterly charming.

Nicole watched as Waverly modelled the clothes for Miriam. Her baby bump looked adorable in the outfits and it wasn’t long before the 3 left the boutique with their purchases. Miriam had insisted on getting the clothes for the omega as Waverly deserved the best as far as the blond was concerned.

Miriam hugged Waverly tightly when they got back to the town house and told her how much she hoped to see Waverly again soon before she kissed her daughter’s cheek and said goodbye to them both.

Nicole helped Waverly to bring her things to the jeep before they stood on the sidewalks in gave each other shy smiles.

“Let me know when you get home?” The Alpha asked, feeling a little awkward and Waverly nodded.

“maybe, if you wanted, you could come to Purgatory soon?” the omega asked and the Redhead beamed at her.

“Yes. Of course.” Nicole said before she and Waverly hugged goodbye. The omega tucked herself the Alpha’s chin. Waverly wanted to stay like this, surrounded by the Alpha’s arms and her scent but she knew she had to get back to mind Alice so Wynonna could go to work.

Nicole kissed her forehead and waited until the omega pulled back.

“please don’t get punched in the face again.” The smaller woman said and Nicole chuckled and shook her head.

“I’ll try not too.”

They said goodbye and Waverly made her way home, humming happily as she thought about her time with the Haughts. Nicole’s mother was so nice and Waverly liked her a lot. Connor was a gentleman and Waverly could tell Nicole cared about them both deeply.

Nicholas had been an unpleasant smear on the evening and Waverly growled as she remembered the horrible things he said and it concerned her that Nicole was so quick to defend everyone but herself and had done nothing when he said those horrible things about his daughter, to her face.

Nicole really was the sweetest and Waverly really didn’t like watching her get hurt, physically or verbally. The omega wanted to protect the Alpha.

When she got back home Wynonna was sitting on the porch with a scowl.

“where have you been?” the beta asked when her sister stepped out of her car.

“You know I’m 30, right? Not a 16 year old who missed curfew.” Waverly said as she walked through the heavy snow.

“You said you would be back in the morning, it’s like afternoon now.” Wynonna said lamely as her sister arched a brow as she stepped up onto the porch.

“Yes... and?” Waverly challenged.

“Are you and Red fucking?” the older woman growled and Waverly rolled her eyes.

“I wish.” She muttered and walked into the house to see her niece. She would bring in her bags after the beta left for work.

Chapter Text

“Ms Earp?” Waverly heard and was pulled from her thoughts of a certain redheaded Alpha by the student calling her name.

“Yes, Allie?” she asked the sophomore student who had her hand up to ask about some school work.

It was the last day before Winter break and Waverly was biting her lip anxiously all day as she watched the snow falling heavily. She kept checking her Weather App all morning as a snow storm was moving quickly toward town.

Nicole was supposed to be driving to town that evening and she worried that the Alpha wouldn’t be able to make it because of the storm. She had text Nicole saying that if the weather got too bad she was to turn back and they would see each other after Christmas in a few days.

She wanted to see Nicole badly but she didn’t want anything to happen to the woman.

Nicole hadn’t responded yet which was unusual for the Alpha but Waverly figured it was because she was busy with end of year meetings.

Every single night they would call each other and speak about everything and anything despite the fact both of them were very tired from work and they never missed a call.

Normally Waverly would doze off first and Nicole, unbeknownst to Waverly, would listen to the omega’s soft, even breathing for a few minutes, whisper good night and hang up. Every morning after her sparring she would smile as she would read the good morning text from the omega who always apologised for falling asleep on Nicole.

Waverly dismissed her class and wished them a happy holidays before her last class of the day came in. The senior French class were to excitable to focus on anything as they waited for the bell to ring so they could be free for a couple of weeks.

Waverly couldnt blame them, she was excited for the holidays too. She loved Christmas at her Aunt and Uncle’s home, Gus’s Christmas ham was the tastiest thing in the world and Alice was spend the day eating way too much junk and playing with all her new toys as holiday movies played in the background.

“Yo, Ms Earp?”

“Yes, Johnny?” she responded to the beta who had his hand up

“Are you pregnant, Miss?” the boy asked as some of the students let out wolf whistles or gasped. Waverly was aware that rumours had begun to spread amongst her students recently because her bump was now more prominent, her scent had altered dramatically and Purgatory was a small town.

She smirked as she put a hand on her belly under her desk. “Yes.”

Many of the students cheered or clapped when they got the confirmation and Waverly rolled her eyes affectionately.

“Is it Champ Hardy’s?” another student asked as the others told the omega girl to shut up as Waverly sneered in disgust. She couldnt help it and her wolf gagged.

“Oh Gods no!” she growled as the students laughed. “Its none of your business who is the sire.” She winked at the eager teens. Some of them could be quite cheeky but all in all they were a good bunch of kids.

The Omegas and beta girls asked her some more questions about her pregnancy, did she know what she was having? When was she due?

The last 10 minutes of class were spent by students suggesting names for the baby while Waverly chuckled or took note of the nicest and laughed at the most ridiculous.

When the bell rang, she wished them a happy holidays and said she would see them in the new year.

She tidied up her classroom a little before she left and found Rosita in the Hallway waiting for her as the students were hurrying out of the building.

“Thank Fuck we have 2 weeks free of this place.” The latina said as she slipped an arm through Waverly’s as the smaller laughed her agreement.

“I can’t wait to catch up on some Netflix.” Waverly said.

“You need to see if your Alpha is up for some Netflix and Chill.” Rosita teased.

Waverly had told the woman about Nicole and how much she liked her do Rosita had done nothing but rib her about her crush.

As the pair followed the students out of the building, they noticed that many teens were just standing looking at the carpark and it wasn’t as loud as it normally was.

The two teachers gave each other curious looks before Waverly caught a scent wafting through the smell of teenager and she scanned the carpark with excitement as Rosita sniffed the air.

Waverly broke into a massive smile when she spotted Nicole leaning on her SUV. The Alpha was looking right at her wearing a dimpled grin.

“Holy Fuck!” Rosita gasped when she saw the Alpha before Waverly growled at her and the other omega’s jaw dropped. “Oh my Gods, is that her?”

Waverly didn’t answer but Rosita saw the way the other omega lit up before Waverly walked off towards the redhead that pushed off her bonnet and walked forward to meet the omega who hugged her tightly.

Some of the omega students were muttering excitedly when they saw their pregnant teacher with a female Alpha.

“What are you doing here?” Waverly asked the redhead as she pressed her nose into the woman’s neck and inhaled her wonderful vanilla scent.

“I wanted to make sure I got here before the storm.” Wild horses couldn’t keep Nicole away from the omega who she hoped wouldn’t be upset with her sudden appearance but given how hard Waverly was holding her, she made the right decision.

“You’re the best!” Waverly squealed before she smelled Rosita coming towards them and suddenly worried Nicole would find the beautiful Latina very attractive.

“Waves, are you going to introduce me?” Rosita smiled at her friend knowingly as Waverly scowled at her.

“Rosie, this is Nicole.” Waverly said with a pout and the Alpha smiled down at her softly.

“Ah, so you’re the famous Nicole? It’s so nice to finally meet you. Waves has told me so much about you.” The other omega said as Waverly blushed and Nicole grinned.

“Has she?” the Alpha asked and squeezed the smaller omega on the hip where her hand was resting as Waverly unconsciously leaned back into her front.

“Oh yeah, and she definitely wasnt lying.” Rosita openly scanned Nicole, riling Waverly up. She was just messing with her friend.

The smaller omega hoped Nicole wasn’t into Rosita’s naturally flirtatious manner but Nicole only wrapped her arms around her waist and pumped out calming pheromones.

“What exactly did you say?” Nicole whispered into Waverly’s ear and the omega went beet red. Nicole kissed her temple before looking at Rosita. “It was lovely to meet you but if you’ll excuse us, I’d like to get this incredible woman out of the cold.” Nicole said and Rosita smiled approvingly.

The Alpha and omega were obviously crazy about each other and Rosita was delighted for her friend. Waverly deserved someone wonderful.

Waverly perked up as Nicole’s dismissal of the other woman in favour of her and her wolf preened in her mind.

“Of course, Waves. Text me, we will grab a coffee over the holidays. Nicole, it was lovely to meet you. Look after this one.”

Waverly turned back into Nicole and hugged her tight before the Alpha took her bag and her hand and brought her to the passenger side, helping her in as they both continued to smile at each other.

They were both unaware of all the students still watching them as the Alpha pulled out of the parking spot.

“This is such nice surprise, Cole.” Waverly smiled as she directed the Alpha to the road to the Homestead. Nicole had never been too the tiny house and Waverly worried what the Alpha would think about it. Nicole had a very different upbringing to Waverly.

They chatted easily on the journey and Waverly relaxed completely surrounded by her Alphas scent.

When Nicole pulled into the front yard of the pretty little Cabin with its porch, she smiled.

“Wow, this is so pretty.” Nicole smiled and Waverly relaxed before the sighing

“I’m so sorry we don’t have a room for you for the night.”

“it’s fine, Waves, I’ve already checked into the Wainwright and I know neither of us want to listen to Wynonna.” The Alpha chuckled and they got out of the car.

Wynonna and Alice were home as it was the older Sisters day off and when Nicole followed the omega into the house, Wynonna was scowling at the Alpha over the back of the sofa.

“What are you doing here so early?” she asked as she stood up and Waverly held up a finger to her sister before she asked Nicole to excuse them for a moment and pulled her sister into the kitchen.

“Wynonna, you promised.” Waverly growled. Wynonna had thrown a fit when Waverly had told her the Alpha was coming. She didn’t want the Alpha in the house nor did she see why she should ever set foot in their ancestral home. She still didn’t understand why the women wanted to be around each other at all.

Waverly had told Wynonna that this was her house too and she wanted the Alpha here, she wanted to spend time with her and her so did her wolf.

“I just don’t get!” Wynonna growled at the omega who snarled

“You don’t need to get it, Nonna. Nicole is my guest and I won’t let you be a bitch so if you can’t say anything nice, keep your mouth shut. I know its hard but if Alice can do it so can you.” She hissed.

Waverly walked back to the Living room and found Nicole chatting to the pup who had come down from her room when she heard her aunt.

“Who are you?” The pup had asked when she saw the Alpha standing awkwardly in the front room

“I’m Nicole. You must be Alice?” the Alpha smiled at the pup that returned a gap toothed grin.

“Are you Aunty Waverly’s Baby Daddy?” the child asked innocently and Nicole snorted out a laugh at the child’s question just in time to see the omega and beta walk back into the living room.

“Hey, Bug.” Waverly hugged her niece and gave the smiling Alpha a quizzical look. “What are you two talking about?”

“Is this your Baby Daddy, Aunty?” the pup asked, pointing at the redhead and Waverly gave her sister a withering look.

“What? She is.” Wynonna shrugged and Waverly shook her head.

“Alice, this is Nicole, she’s my pup’s sire.” She explained.

“But she’s a girl?” The pup asked and Waverly scowled at Wynonna again.

“I’m an Alpha, Sweetie.” The redhead explained the pup kindly. “So I’m different from a beta or omega woman.”

“Oh, OK!” the little beta shrugged. “Wanna watch a Muppets Christmas Carol with me?”

Nicole smiled at the little girl who was almost a carbon copy of her mother. “Aunty Waves?” she asked the omega and the woman nodded.

“I think that would be okay.”

The pup cheered and turned on the TV as Waverly sat beside the Alpha on the sofa and leaned into her side as Wynonna took a swig from her whisky bottle while she watched her sister lean into the Alpha’s side.

As the movie played on, Waverly only cuddled deeper into the Alpha’s side, curling up as she hugged the woman’s waist and Nicole put an arm around the Omega’s shoulders as she played with the end of her hair absentmindedly.

Waverly loved this and imagined them doing this with their own pup in the future, ignoring the reality of their future.

When the movie ended, Waverly said she was going to cook dinner so Nicole got up to help her. The Alpha just wanted to spend time with the omega and she wanted to help her with anything she needed so she did whatever she was told as the omega teased and joked with her as they worked.

Wynonna watched them and begrudgingly had to admit her sister looked so happy, giggling as the Alpha joked. They would make a cute couple and she could tell they really liked each other.

She took another swig of whiskey and put more logs on the fire before she brought Alice to her room to change into her PJs so she wouldn’t keep creeping on her sister and the Alpha.

Chapter Text

Waverly smiled as she watched Nicole patiently answer Alice’s never ending questions over dinner. The pup seemed fascinated with the redhead and Waverly liked how natural the Alpha was with the pup.

Waverly had had a feeling that Nicole would be a good sire and it was sweet to see how the pup reacted to the Alpha. Even Wynonna couldnt help smiling from time to time as she listened her daughter.

“Aunty Waves, can Nicole read me a bedtime story tonight?” the pup asked and the sisters shared a surprised look before Waverly smiled.

“Yes of course she can, Baby Girl.” The Omega said before looking at Nicole. “You’ve made a good impression.” She quietly praised and Nicole gave her a soft smile.

Wynonna washed up after dinner while the omega and Alpha brought Alice upstairs and together, Waverly and Nicole, took turns reading the lines of the story and they had the pup laughing as they did funny voices and Nicole’s goofiness was delightful.

Eventually the pup began to fall asleep so the adults snuck from the room before they made their way back downstairs.

“Who knew you were so good with kids?” Waverly asked the Alpha as they sat in the sofa in front of the fire. Waverly turned to face Nicole as she tucked her legs underneath her as rested an arm on the back of the couch and giggled when Nicole mirrored her posture.

“I didn’t anyway.” The older woman chuckled. “Alice is a cool kid.”

“I’m really happy you’re here.” Waverly said shyly, unable to saying it but suddenly feeling very vulnerable. She needn’t have worried as Nicole’s eyes became impossibly soft as the Alpha started purring.

“Me too.” Nicole said and melted as the twinkling lights on the Christmas tree reflected in the omega eyes. Waverly took her hand and placed it on the larger baby bump. “Wow. They have gotten so much stronger in only a couple of weeks.” The Alpha grinned as Waverly moved closer to her.

“Yep. I think we have a future soccer star on our hands.” Waverly cooed, her hand resting on Nicole. “I’m just past the half way mark.” She said with a hint of sadness.

“our child will be a basket ball player or they shall play no sport.” Nicole growled and Waverly giggled, cuddling into the Alpha’s side. Nicole always made her feel better.

“Shit.” They heard as the backdoor opened and Wynonna stomped into the kitchen with a basket of fresh firewood and shook herself off, covering the walkway from the kitchen to living room in melting snow. “Its coming down so hard outside.” The beta groaned as she put the logs into the wicker basket near the fire.

“Really?” Waverly asked as Nicole got up and opened the front door

“Oh Wow.” Nicole huffed as Waverly came up behind her. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much snow!” the Alpha said in awe as the omega gasped.

“Oh my Gods.”

“Shit, I better get going back to town now before it gets worse.” The Alpha said, disappointed to have to cut her time with the omega short.

“You can’t drive in this!” Waverly whimpered. “the snow is at least 2 foot deep and the road out here is terrible.” Waverly said as she closed the door to keep the cold air out.

“you can take the sofa.” Wynonna said before she stomped off and Waverly lit up at the thought of the Alpha staying in the Homestead.

“Uh... I’ll go get my bag from the car.” Nicole said cautiously before Waverly gave her an excited grin.

Nicole liked the idea of staying in the omega’s home for the night and tried not focus on the fact the sofa was only a two-seater.

She grabbed her bag and came back in to see the omega coming down the stairs with blankets in her arms to set up the couch. Nicole took them off her with a smile.

Waverly didn’t like the idea of the Alpha sleeping on the couch and she had no intention of leaving her on it but she had no idea how to get the Alpha to her room.

They decided to watch another movie together, cuddling up to the couch under the blanket together, enjoying the closeness. Waverly loved how safe and warm she felt with Nicole and she wasn’t really focusing on the film as tiredness over took her. She snuggled deeper into the Alpha’s side as she began to drift off to sleep.

Nicole smiled as the omega nuzzled into her neck and inhaled her scent in her sleep, pumping out her softer, protective pheromones.

When the movie ended Nicole kissed the Omega’s forehead before gentle shaking her awake. The smaller woman gave a sleepily little growled that made Nicole smile fondly.

“Lets get you to bed, Waves.” She lifted Waverly with ease and the omega’s eyes opened wide as she wrapped her arms around the Alpha’s neck.

“Wow, you’re so strong.” The omega squeaked as she directed Nicole to her bedroom upstairs.

When the Alpha carried her into the bedroom, her knees almost buckled with the strong scent of the omega and their pregnancy heavy in the large room.

It was softly decorated and neat, it was Waverly. She gently put the woman down on the bed but notice the omega seemed reluctant to let go of her.

“you ok?” Nicole asked softly as Waverly bit her lip before nodding.

Waverly was still a little groggy from sleeping but she was sure that all she wanted in this moment was to kiss the Alpha but she didn’t know if that’s what Nicole wanted so she chickened out.

“Yeah.” She said, letting go of the Alpha who looked around for the omega’s room, taking in the photos hanging on the walls and the desks and bookshelves heavy books and in the space between the bed and the far wall Nicole spotted flat boxes with pictures of the furniture within.

“is this the baby stuff?” Nicole asked with a smile and Waverly nodded.

“Yeah, I haven’t set it up yet, obviously.” Waverly chuckled and Nicole perked up.

“I could do it for you? If you wanted?”

“Really?”

“Yeah,” Nicole smiled. “maybe it would be nice to set up the pups space together?”

Waverly nodded and beamed at the other woman before Nicole stood.

“Goodnight, omega.” She purred as she leaned over and kissed Waverly’s forehead again before she made her way downstairs, grabbed her bag and changed for sleep.

She lay on the couch with her feet dangling over the edge and tried to ignore her wolf who was desperate to get back upstairs and be in her omega’s den. Sleep was alluding her and all she could think of was the soft scent of Waverly and the way she had looked at her in the bedroom.

She wanted to kiss the brunette and never stop but she didn’t want to complicate their situation even further.

She heard Waverly’s door open a few minutes later and smiled when the omega looked down at her from behind the couch.

“Come back upstairs.” Waverly said and Nicole sat up.

“Why?” she asked me, a teasing edge to her voice as she smiled. Waverly huffed.

“I need you to sleep in my room.” She muttered and Nicole’s smile turned into a grin.

“You ‘need’ me too?” the Alpha questioned as she leaned over the back of the sofa. Waverly rolled her eyes and growled.

“Never mind!” she turned and made her way back towards the stairs but in a fluid motion, the Alpha threw off her blanket and hopped over the sofa towards the omega and scooped her up in her arms as the smaller woman let out a surprised yip before wrapping her arms around the Alpha’s neck.

“My omega isn’t tolerating being in the same house but not sleeping in the same bed. I need you to put your scent in the room.” Waverly said, feeling somewhat embarrassed but Nicole smiled at her softly.

“I was just teasing. My Alpha doesn’t like it either. But what do you want?” Nicole asked her softly and Waverly was glad it was dark as she could feel her cheeks reddening.

“I want it too.” She muttered and Nicole purred as she carried the omega upstairs.

Once back in the room, she put the omega down on the bed and smiled as the omega immediately scooted across the mattress to make room for the Alpha to get in behind her.

Once Nicole covered them with the ridiculous amount of covers on the Omega’s bed, Waverly’s scooted back to press her back into the Alpha’s front and purred and the taller woman curled around her smaller one before Waverly pulled Nicole’s arms around her waist and her hands rested on the Alpha’s which now cradled her bump.

Nicole her face into the crook of Waverly’s neck to inhale the scent straight from the gland there. Her mouth watered and much to her surprise her teeth began to sharpen. Her wolf wanted to claim this woman as theirs and she really wanted that too but they had no right to without the omega’s consent.

Waverly turned her head and kissed the Alpha’s cheek Softly and wished her a goodnight before they both fell into a deep and comfortable sleep.

When Waverly woke up the next morning, she found herself and the Alpha in the exact same position they had fallen asleep in the night before but with one difference.

She pressed her ass against the thing poking her hip and she heard her Alpha grunt and her jerk her hips. Waverly’s breath hitched when she realised it was Nicole’s erection.

The Alpha was obviously still asleep if her steady breathing was anything to go by and Waverly wanted to wake the Alpha have her ravish the omega until she was nothing but a limp mess. She suddenly became very turned on and the smell of her arousal reached Nicole in her dream state.

The Alpha was deeply slumbering and dreaming about Waverly, the omega submitting to her Alpha, and when she smelled the woman’s arousal, her hips began to thrust slowly against the omega’s body, her cock now chafing against the inside of the sweats she wore to bed.

Nicole’s arms tightened around the omega as her hips continued to Rut and Waverly bit her lip to stop crying out when the Alpha’s hand reached down between her legs.

Waverly let out gasp and was about to wake the Alpha but Nicole suddenly woke up, immediately realising what she had done and pushed herself back, falling off the side of the bed and landing on a heap on the floor.

“Cole, are you ok?” Waverly asked, looking down at her and the Alpha shook her head.

“Waverly, I am so, so sorry!” Nicole gasped, mortified but the omega shook her head.

“Come back up here please, its cold.” The omega said, not wanting to address what the woman had been doing or she would have told her to finish the job.

“But-“

“Nicole, get back into this bed right now.” The omega growled at the perplexed Alpha. Nicole didn’t know what was happening but she wasn’t going to refuse Waverly a thing. She got into the bed and lay on her back, stiffly, and covered her cock with her hands as Waverly giggled.

“interesting Dream?” The omega said, lying on her side as she took Nicole’s profile and saw how red she was. “Wanna talk about it?” she added and Nicole shook her head.

“Gods no!” she huffed and Waverly moved a little closer, she was about to ask the woman if she had been dreaming about her but before she could, Wynonna opened the door and glared at them.

“Could you two bang a bit quieter. There’s a child asleep down the hall!” the beta hissed and Nicole began to splutter, sitting up and shook her head.

“We wer-“

“Wy, relax, she definitely heard worse before you and Doc divorced. Besides, all that was was Nicole falling off the bed.” The omega huffed.

Wynonna wasn’t the least bit surprised when she had found the couch abandoned. Before she could say anything else, Alice came running into the bedroom.

“What was that?” the pup asked.

“Nothing, Bug, let’s go make breakfast.” Waverly told the pup before she whispered to Nicole.

“Come down when your friend goes away.” She giggled and the Alpha went even redder as she nodded.

When she was alone, Nicole fell back onto the bed and groaned. That omega was going to be the death of her.

Chapter Text

Waverly left the kitchen to bring Alice upstairs to dress after breakfast when Nicole told her she would clean up.

As she cleaned off the table she heard Wynonna clear her throat and the Alpha looked at her.

“Something you want to say, Wynonna?” Nicole asked, knowing she would likely regret asking.

The only reasons she had held her tongue with the woman was because she didn’t want to cause Waverly anymore distress and beating the shit out of the beta would probably distress her. However, she was only willing to take so much even if she understood that Wynonna just wanted to protect Waverly.

“What’s your end game here, Haught?” Wynonna asked, not harshly but her eyes were hard.

Nicole sat down at the table and refilled her coffee before she faced Wynonna.

“Waverly and I are having a pup together. My game plan is to be here for them in anyway they need, before and after our child is born.”

“You don’t wish you conceived that pup the old fashioned way?” Wynonna scoffed but froze when Nicole let out a low growl.

“Wynonna, what I wish is irrelevant. We are having a pup together and so we will always be in each others life now.”

“Yeah but there is a serious power imbalance, Red. You will control her for the rest of her life and at any point you could change you mind. If anything romantic happens between you and things turn sour, what’s stopping you from taking the pup? Would you tolerate the mother of your pup having a relationship with anyone other than you? You could be the worse thing to ever happen to her.”

Wynonna’s words were a punch in the gut and Nicole swallowed hard as her wolf whimpered.

“Wynonna?” they both heard and turned to see the omega with a face like thunder and anger in her eyes, beside her was Alive who was looking nervously between her mother and aunt, not knowing what had been said but understanding the tension in the room.

“Shit...” Wynonna hissed and looked down at the table.

“I think you should bring Alice to Gus’s before you go to Work. Nicole can you put Alice in Wynonna’s truck outside please?” the omega said, still not taking her eyes off Wynonna. “the keys are in the bowl near the door.” She added as the Alpha nodded and took the pups hand.

Once they heard the front door close Wynonna sucked in a breath and made to defend herself but Waverly growled.

“What the fuck do you think you are doing?” the omega asked.

“Waves, I’m just looking out for you. Its so obvious that you two are drooling over each other but its just your wolves acting stupid because your pregnant with her child. When the pup is born, that will end and it could turn nasty but you’ll still be at her mercy! Do you-“

“Shut up. Wynonna, I trust her, I know her and I like her and none of this is any of your business. Don’t you DARE try and act like you know what’s best for me. I’m an adult and won’t be treated like anything less.”

“Waves-“ Wynonna started but the omega growled

“Just fucking leave, Wynonna.” Waverly said before she stomped out to the car where Nicole was talking to Alice but the soft smile the Alpha wore as she talked to the pup fell from her face when she looked at Waverly and she looked ashamed.

Waverly cursed her sister again as she felt a chasm open between she and the redheaded woman.

“You all buckled in?” Waverly asked the pup but she reached out and grabbed the Alpha’s wrist as the woman went to walk away. When the omega felt Nicole pause, she slipped her hand down to entangle her fingers with the Alpha’s long ones.

Nicole frowned as she looked down at their hands as Waverly leaned in to kiss the pups forehead as Wynonna strode out of the house.

“Nicole, will you come back to visit?” the pup asked the Alpha who looked at Waverly. The omega smiled when the Alpha promised the child they would see each other again soon before she told the pup goodbye. The sisters passed each other without a word and the pair went into the house.

As soon as the door closed behind them they both turned to face each other speaking at the same time.

“Waverly-“

“I’m sorr-“

They both paused before Waverly stepped closer to Nicole and hugged her.

“Everything she said was bullshit.” Waverly said but the Alpha shook her head.

“It’s not though, is it?” Nicole whimpered sadly. “I’m causing nothing but problems for you and its true that there is an enormous power imbalance so you might not feel able to disagree or refuse me and i dont want that. Like this morning-“ Nicole growled, self loathing thick in her voice, “I am so, so sorry, Waverly. You should never have been put in that position. What if I’d-“

“Stop!” Waverly ordered. “Stop right now. You may be a big, strong Alpha but I know I can say no to you, that it is safe to say no to you.” Waverly said truthfully and cupped the Alpha’s face, looking up at her and into her eyes lovingly. “this is a really unique situation we find ourselves in. It wasn’t our fault but I promise you, apart from the initial Shit-ticketness, you have been perfect in every way.”

“I don’t want to mess things up with you, Waverly, you and our pup...” the Alpha trailed off, not wanting to say more.

Waverly stroked the Alpha’s cheek. “I know.” She cooed. “You haven’t mess things up and i promised to tell you if it seems you might start. You can always talk to me about anything with no judgement. I just ask for honestly.” Waverly whispered as Nicole hugged her back.

“From now on, if Wynonna says anything to you, feel free to slam her head off the wall.” The omega chuckled and Nicole couldn’t help but smile.

“Thank you.” The Alpha whispered, happy to have the omega saying such wonderful things to her. She would follow Waverly’s lead in all things.

“So are you going to tell me what the dream was about?” Waverly teased and broke the heavy tension by making the Alpha begin to groan as she hid her face behind her hands.

“Never.” Nicole chuckled before pulling the omega closer to her. Waverly tucked herself under the Alpha’s chin and smiled contentedly.

Neither of them addressed their feelings for the other. It was a complicated situation and one they were unsure how to navigate but they had time to figure it out. They hoped.

They stayed like that for a few more minutes, saying nothing, just enjoying holding each other.

Upstairs they heard Nicole’s phone ringing and Waverly made to step back away from the Alpha so she could get it but the woman kept holding her.

“That’s just Mom. She’s probably calling to see if you liked your Christmas present.” The Alpha smiled as Waverly gave her a questioning look. “It’s in the car.” She explained.

“Your Mom got me a gift?” Waverly asked, feeling touched.

“She did.” Nicole chuckled. “She thinks you’re wonderful.”

Miriam had been talking about your omega nonstop since Waverly visit and dropped less than subtle hints about how beautiful the woman was, how sweet she was, what a lovely couple they would make.

“She’s really nice.” Waverly said with a smile before the phone stopped ringing for a moment and started again. The omega giggled. “Go speak to your mother.” She said as she walked into the kitchen and Nicole hurried upstairs.

“Hey, Mom.” She huffed when she answered the phone.

“I was checking in, seeing how you are, how Waverly is?” the omega asked sweetly.

“We are fine. I haven’t given her your gift yet, I was waiting until I’m heading back to the City.” Nicole said and Miriam shushed her.

“That’s not the only reason I’m calling. I just wanted to check in, see how things are going?” Miriam asked, as casually as she could and Nicole rolled her eyes before smiling as Waverly walked into the bedroom and sat beside her on the bed.

“Hi, Miriam.” Waverly said when Nicole handed her the phone.

“Oh, Waverly, Sweetheart, how are you?” the older omega said happily when she heard the younger and the brunette put the phone on loudspeaker.

“I’m fine, Baby is fine. How are you?” Waverly asked Nicole smiled as she listened to the Omegas catch up.

When the call ended Waverly gave Nicole a sad look. “Do you have to get back to the City today?”

The Alpha tilted her head as she heard the change in Waverly’s tone.

“What’s wrong?” she asked softly as she took Waverly’s hand but the omega just shook her head.

“nothing, I just want you to stay longer.” The smaller woman muttered and shrugged. Nicole smiled and kissed her forehead.

“Then I’ll stay longer.” Nicole said easily. She wouldn’t refuse the omega even if she wanted to.

“I have to work tonight. In Shorty’s. You could come with me if you want? Have a few drinks?”

“That sounds like a good idea. How about I make you dinner before we leave?” the Alpha offered and Waverly grinned.

“You can cook?” Waverly sounded surprised and Nicole playfully growled at her.

“Yes. Now, let’s go to the supermarket.” Nicole stood and pulled Waverly to her feet as the omega giggled.

They walked out of the house, hand in hand, and got into Nicole’s SUV. The snow was still high but the sky was clear and it had melted slightly but they were able to get on the road, Nicole driving carefully as she was carrying a precious load.

When they got to town Nicole helped the omega out of the car outside the supermarket and they walked inside, side by side.

After a discussion in the car Nicole was going to cook carbonara and she set about getting the ingredients and ignored the way the locals were staring at them. Waverly followed her, purposely staying close to Nicole and focused on the Alpha as they shopped.

When they got back to the Homestead, Waverly went to shower as Nicole started cooking and cleaning up the kitchen as she went.

When Waverly was ready for work she was wearing a tight Shorty’s long-sleeved t-shirt and Nicole smiled when she saw the woman’s baby bump.

When they say down to eat Waverly moaned at the taste of the delicious food as Nicole watched her with darkened eyes, loving that sound and wishing she made the omega make that sound for a different reason.

“This is so good, Alpha.” Waverly purred and Nicole puffed her chest up with pride as the Omega ate every last bit. When the plates were empty Waverly stood to clear the table and kissed the Alpha’s cheek in thanks before they got ready to head back into town.

Chapter Text

Waverly took Nicole’s hand and squeezed it as they walked into the Saloon which was busy in the early evening. It was 3 days to Christmas and so many of the town’s residents were having a drink with friends they wouldn’t see over the holidays.

The blaring music made it less obvious that people stopped talking and stared at the woman with Waverly as they walked towards the bar.

Shorty and Gus were behind the bar and gave the omega a quizzical look when they saw her with Nicole who smiled at them shyly but Waverly just greeted them as Nicole took a seat on the stool in front of the bar while Waverly took off her jacket and put it in the back room.

“I thought you were heading back to the City today?” Gus asked. She knew Wynonna and Waverly had fought about the Alpha that morning as Wynonna had been angry when she dropped the pup off with her and Curtis that morning.

“Uh... yeah, me too, but Waverly asked me to stay longer.” Nicole said and Gus gave her Niece a questioning look but the omega only gave Nicole a soft look.

“What do you wanna drink, Cole?” Waverly asked and Nicole just ordered a beer. She didn’t want to drink anything stronger as she fully intended on driving the omega back home after her shift.

Gus and Shorty watched the Alpha and omega look very content as they chatted when ever Waverly had a free moment. They saw the way the brunette’s posture would change she stood behind the bar in front of the redhead who would sit and do things on her phone when the omega was busy.

A couple of locals had struck up conversations with the Alpha as no one in town had ever met a female before and all of them were curious as to what she was doing in their town.

Nicole would only smile and say she’s visiting her friend. Waverly would give her a small wink or smile as she passed the Alpha but if any omega dared to get close to Nicole, the smaller woman would look close to spitting bullets and only the fact Nicole barely acknowledged them kept Waverly in check.

Gus and Shorty couldn’t help sharing knowing smiles as Waverly would glower in the offending omega’s direction before she would relax when the Alpha smiled her way.

Waverly had to go to the back to get some more bottles and when she returned she growled when she saw the last person she wanted near Nicole strutting towards her in a tiny mini skirt and spilling out of a too small top.

She watched Nicole sniff the air and make a face as though something rotten had appeared and Waverly scowled as she saw Stephanie take the vacant stool beside Nicole.

She walked back to behind the bar quickly in time to hear Stephanie speak.

“Hey, Sexy, good to see you again.” The blonde woman purred and Waverly saw Nicole frown at the woman.

“Excuse me?” the Alpha asked, sounding confused before she met Waverly’s eyes and her face softened into a loving smile, the blonde women forgotten.

Stephanie huffed when she lost the Alpha’s attention to the small woman behind the bar and she rolled her eyes before putting a hand on Nicole’s bicep and turning her to face her.

“We met in Mama Olive’s. How about you buy me a drink and we can get to know each other?” Stephanie purred seductively and smirked at Waverly’s scowl.

Nicole scoffed and shook her head as she winked at Waverly and took a sip of her beer as her omega relaxed. Stephanie huffed and was about to try again when she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist and a hot, wet mouth on her neck. She smelled Champ and growled.

“Hey, Baby, let get our of here.” She heard and pushed him off her. With an Alpha around why would she want anything to do with a beta. The man was so drunk he didn’t even realise what she had done and he grabbed her again before sniffing the air and pulling a face.

“What the fuck is that smell?” he said but didn’t wait for an answer before spotting Waverly and grinning lecherous.

“Get me a drink, Waves.” He ordered and Nicole’s lips curled, not liking the way this smelly man spoke to Waverly but the brunette only rolled her eyes and walked to the beer tap.

“Champ, go bother someone else.” Stephanie Said as Waverly put the glass on the counter and turned back to Nicole who she saw looking at the Waverly very differently to how she looked at her and she wouldn’t let that stand. “Waves, I heard a rumour you got yourself knocked up and you don’t even know who the guy is.” She laughed nastily but the other omega just smirked.

“You’re pregnant?” Champ asked drunkenly

“Is that so?” the Alpha asked teasingly as Waverly leaned over the top of the bar and smiled at her.

“No, I know who the sire is.” Waverly said and something about her tone made Stephanie fill with jealously.

“IS IT MINE?!” Champ cried out drunkenly. Waverly grimaced and Nicole felt her stomach tighten in rage at the thought of this man ever having had something with the woman she was in love with.

“It’s mine.” Nicole growled possessively before she took Waverly’s hand as the brunette beamed at her before she placed a kiss on the omega’s knuckles.

“Ew, no way.” Stephanie spat and Nicole turned to glare at her.

“I think you should fuck off, Stephanie.” Waverly growled before the Alpha could speak and Nicole let out a surprised laugh before looking her affectionately.

“Why, Waverly? Scared of the competition.” Stephanie spat but that only made Nicole laugh even harder

“Oh, there is no competition. There isn’t even a comparison.” Nicole told the blonde as she still held Waverly’s hand and the omega played with her fingers.

“Most of her exes have left her for me.” Stephanie said, sounding proud for some reason but Nicole scoffed.

“Oh, get over yourself. You smell like a walking STD.” Nicole said dismissively as Gus dropped a glass and anyone else listening laughter loudly as Waverly smiled at her. “Now, can you please go away? Between your scent and his, I’m worried you’ll make My incredible Omega nauseous.” It wasn’t a request and Stephanie knew it. She grabbed Champ and stomped off with him.

Waverly was looking at Nicole in a way that made the Alpha blush and Gus watched with interest. She watched Waverly lean over the counter and kiss the Alpha’s cheek before she filled up another beer glass and put it in front of the Alpha without a word and walked away.

“Sorry if I overstepped.” The Alpha muttered and Waverly shook her head.

“You’re incredible.” Waverly whispered as she continued to play with the Alpha’s hand until she had to go and serve customers.

At around 11pm Shorty rang the vintage dinner bell which hung beside the large mirror behind the bar.

“Snow’s coming down pretty hard now, Folks, we are shutting up for the night so everyone can get home safe.” He shouted and everyone got up to leave. The beta told Gus and Waverly he would stay in the apartment over the bar that night after he cleaned up the bar and told them to get home safe before wishing the women a safe trip home.

The Alpha helped Waverly and then Gus into their heavy jackets before they left the bar and heard Shorty lock up behind them.

“Are ya staying here for Christmas?” Gus asked Nicole gruffly and the redhead gave Waverly a questioning look which the omega mirrored. “If ya are, yer more than welcome to dinner at our house. Angel, let me know if I’m setting an extra place.” The woman said and went to her new truck.

The Alpha and omega were still smiling at each other as the woman backed out of her parking spot and she rolled her eyes. Those two were obviously smitten.

Nicole had barely touched her 2nd beer and had been drinking water most of the night, that and her Alpha metabolism made it so she was completely sober so when she saw the woman shiver in the snow she hurried Waverly into the SUV and turned on the heating and seat warmer for her.

“So...” Waverly started as Nicole pulled out on to the road and smiled.

“So...” Nicole repeated and grinned when she heard the omega huff.

“What are you doing for Christmas?” Waverly asked. “what do you usually?”

“Well I’d normally have dinner with Mom on Christmas Eve. Pops is in New York where he goes every year for the holidays to see his brother. I used to go with him until I was old enough not to. It’s an amazing City but I never liked the crowds.” Nicole shrugged.

“what about Christmas day?” she knew enough about Nicole’s relationship with her father and brothers to know she was unlikely to spend the day with them.

“It sounds stupid.” Nicole chuckled. “But I would stay in bed until 9am, watching movies. I’d have ice cream for breakfast with sprinkles-“

“Naturally!” Waverly nodded seriously and Nicole chuckled.

“Then I spend the day watching movies before ordering a pizza for dinner and drinking whiskey until I pass out.”

“That sounds much more fun than dinner with us.” Waverly said, feeling disappointed but Nicole reached over and took her hand.

“I don’t know. Any time with you is pretty great.” She smiled as she put her hand back on the wheel.

Waverly let out a happy little yip before asking “Really?”

“Really. Only if you want me to? I know things haven’t been smooth with your family and I and I don’t want to cause you more hardship.”

“Won’t Miriam be upset?” Waverly asked, hardly believing she might get to spend more time with the Alpha.

“Oh I highly doubt it. She’s shipping us hard.” Nicole said before inhaling sharply, worried about what Waverly would think about that and wishing she had been more careful.

“It’s adorable.” Waverly purred. “What would our ship name be?”

“Haughtwave?” Nicole suggested.

“Sounds like a Dorito. WayHaught?” The omega replied and Nicole snorted.

“Ridiculous.” She joked as the Waverly laughed.

“So you’ll stay until after Christmas?” the omega asked shyly and Nicole nodded.

“Yes, Waves. But I need to go back to the City tomorrow to get more clothes. Would you like to come with me?” Nicole asked.

“Lets see if your mother is free for lunch, Cole.” Waverly said as they pulled into the Homestead.

The house was empty when they got inside and Waverly figured Wynonna and Alice were staying with Gus for the night. Nicole grabbed her things and went to shower while Waverly changed into her pyjamas and made them some sandwiches as they were both hungry. Waverly’s appetite was enormous now.

Waverly smiled when the Alpha came up behind, her smelling fresh and feeling warm against her back, wrapped her arms around her and kissed her temple. It was sweet and intimate.

Waverly loved it.

They ate in comfortable silence before Waverly took Nicole’s hand and tugged it, leading the Alpha upstairs to her bedroom. Both of them inhaling deeply when they smelled the scent of them combined from the night before. It smelled amazing.

The omega climbed into the centre of the bed and the Alpha followed but reluctantly lay on her back instead of curling around the smaller woman. She didn’t want a repeat of that morning.

Waverly huffed and rolled her eyes before turning and pressing her front into the length of Nicole’s side and hugged her waist. She rested her head and the Alphas shoulder. She purred when Nicole’s arm wrapped around her shoulders.

“I’m really glad you’re staying, Cole.” Waverly muttered, sleepy and warm, ip as she slid her hand under the Alpha’s tank top to finger nonsensical patterns on the plain of her flat stomach. Nicole nuzzled her temple and squeezed her softly.

“Me too.” The alpha whispered and Waverly tilted her head up to lay a gentle kiss on the corner of Nicole’s mouth before she ran her nose along the Alpha’s.

Nicole wanted to turn the omega over and give her a proper, deep kiss but she held back.

The omega snuggled closer into the Alpha’s side before she fell into a deep sleep and Nicole sighed happily.

Chapter Text

Nicole and Waverly walked into the restaurant in the City to see Miriam waiting for them eager at the table the concierge was leading them too.

The blonde woman stood and hugged Nicole and then Waverly, who she embraced lovingly.

“This is such a nice surprise.” The taller omega grinned. “to what do I owe the pleasure?” she grinned as Nicole rolled her eyes.

“I’m staying in Purgatory for Christmas with Waverly so we thought we would take you to lunch today.” Nicole said and Miriam grinned even wider, showing off her dimples, so like Nicole’s.

“We?” she asked, looking between the women with a glint in her eye. Waverly smiled softly at the Alpha who blushed so the omega decided to ease the redheads shyness.

“I wanted to thank you for the beautiful bassinet you got for the pup.” The omega said and Miriam have her a soft look

“I am glad you like it and it’s so good to see you again, you are glowing. So what will you two be doing on Christmas?”

They told Miriam that they planned on having dinner with Waverly’s family in the McCready’s home.

“You should use these few days to look at somewhere to rent near Waverly’s place, shouldn’t she, Waverly?” the older omega said with a grin and Nicole gave her mother a glare until Waverly rested a hand on the Alphas and smiled.

“Excellent idea, Miriam. We should look online when we get back to the Homestead.” Waverly said to the redhead.

“’The Homestead’? Do you have some land out there?” Miriam asked with interest and Waverly nodded.

“Only a couple of acres. Unfortunately it’s pretty fallow. My uncles been trying to grow on the land for years but he’s said it’s pretty much useless for anything other than goats and neither Wynonna and I fancy being a shepherdess.” Waverly joked.

“Ah so you’ve lots of empty space? Maybe Nicole could build one of those cabins on the land, she couldn’t get closer than that unless she moved in with you.” Miriam said and Nicole groaned.

“Mom!” she hissed and Waverly chuckled and stood up.

“Please, excuse me.” She said and made for the bathroom, leaving the mother and daughter alone at the table.

“Can you cool it a little, please?” Nicole growled and her mother smirked.

“Im just tryin-“

“Mom, I know what you’re trying to do. But Waverly and I are figuring this all out together and I have no intention of crowding her.” The Alpha said.

“but you two seem so close now. Has something happened?” the older omega asked, hopefully.

“Nothing I’m going to discuss with you!” Nicole chuckled before she shrugged. “I like her, I really like her but I also know that what she wants is far more important and I’m following her lead.”

“Nicole, as your mother, let me give you some advice; you are a fool. There is love there. It’s as plain as day.” The omega said truthfully but said no more as Waverly came back to the table, smiling as Nicole watched her.

The rest of lunch went wonderfully as Miriam held her tongue for the most part but the woman could tell that they were enamoured with each other and it was frustrating to see them try and distance themselves.

When they were in the foyer of the the restaurant Miriam hugged them both again and told Nicole to get the car and drive it up so Waverly didn’t get cold. Nicole gave her mother a warning look before she left the two omegas alone.

“She’s worried I’m going to talk you into dating her.” Miriam chuckled and Waverly smirked.

“Are you?”

“Would it take much to convince you?” Miriam smirked back before Waverly shook her head sadly.

“It wouldn’t be me you would have to convince. It causes Cole a lot of pain that she has the power and she keeps her distance in a lot of ways. She’s so scared of messing up or hurting me and my sister said some horrible things to her. Told her that any affection I have for her is manufactured by my pregnancy and that once the pup is born it will disappear. Its bullshit but Nicole believes her and until this pup is born I don’t know how to make her see the truth.” Waverly said, feeling like Miriam was the only person she could speak to about this.

“She’s always been far too gentle a soul.” The blonde woman said with a sigh. “I suppose it will happen when and if it is meant to happen.” She added and hugged Waverly again when she saw the Alpha reappear and hold an arm out the pregnant woman, leading her outside as they both wished Miriam a Merry Christmas.

They stopped by the townhouse so Nicole could get some clothes and she told the Butler that she wouldn’t be home until after Christmas and to allow all the staff to take an extra long holiday. She and Connor never had any of the staff around on the 25th so they could spend it with their families but there was no reason to make then work when no-one was home.

Before they left the City Nicole said she wanted Waverly to help her pick out some gifts for Alice, Wynonna and the McCready’s as she wouldn’t turn up empty handed.

“You want to buy a gift for Wynonna? When she was such a bitch to you?” The omega asked, surprised.

“Waves, she may have about as much tact as a sledge hammer but she loves you and she didn’t trust me. Why would she? Regardless of what you and I feel, her points were valid and she is your sister. Better the carrot than the whip.” Nicole said and Waverly smirked.

“Because she’s an Ass?” Waverly asked before she rested a hand on Nicole’s leg. “it was all Bullshit, Cole, I promise. She doesn’t know me as well as she likes to think.” Waverly said as she squeezed the Alpha’s leg.

Nicole wrapped her own hand around Waverly’s and lifted it to kiss it but said no more.

As far as Nicole was concerned she didn’t want to risk anything happening before Waverly gave birth and then had the omega feeling trapped if she didn’t feel the same.

Waverly helped Nicole pick out some gifts before they got back on the road.

“What did you think of your mother’s idea to build a cabin on our land?” Waverly asked conversationally and Nicole scoffed

“Wynonna would love that.”

“I didnt ask you what Wynonna thinks?” Waverly growled and Nicole smiled at her.

“Waverly, I don’t want to crowd you.”

“Cole...” Waverly said with a warning edge to her voice.

“I want to be as close by as you’ll allow.” Nicole said, keeping her eyes on the road.

“Good Alpha.” Waverly cooed and watched Nicole go red. She decided she would need to speak with Wynonna but the thought of Nicole on the property didn’t sit right with her. If she was going to stay on the property she might as well stay in Waverly’s bed, a thought she would keep to herself for now.

When they got back to the Homestead they brought the presents from the car before Nicole lit the fire as Waverly made them some hot chocolate before they set up a gift wrapping station as they sang along loudly to the Christmas music the omega had put on, joking and laughing as the evening went on.

Shortly after 6pm they heard a car pulling into the front yard.

“is that Wynonna?” Nicole asked and Waverly shook her head.

“No, doesn’t sound like her truck.” Waverly said and got up as a knock came from the front door. She opened the door and froze.

“Chrissy? What are you doing here?” Waverly asked, shocked by the appearance of the woman who was looking nervous.

Waverly had thought about contacting the woman a lot over the past couple of weeks but every time she did she would feel that betrayal all over again.

If Nicole hadn’t been such a kind and gentle Alpha, she could be in a very different situation. Her best friend shouldn’t have kept her in dark.

“Hey, Waves.” The blonde omega said meekly. “Sorry for calling by unannounced...”

Waverly shivered with the cold coming in through the open door so she sighed and waved the woman inside before she shut the door.

“Uh, Ms Haught, i- uh, I’m sorry, I’ll leave.” She turned but the Alpha huffed.

Nicole met Waverly’s eyes and saw the woman gave her a soft nod. “No need, I’ll leave you two alone.” The Alpha said, sounding professional and gave Waverly a smile before she went upstairs.

Chrissy looked surprised that the Alpha was in the house but she looked at Waverly, ashamed again.

“Why are you here?” the shorter woman said as she sat down on the couch and indicated for the taller to sit on the armchair.

“I just wanted to come by and tell you how sorry I am. I’m disgusted with myself and I am so sorry I put you in this situation. I truly planned on telling you when I found out but I didn’t want to cause you to miscarry or stress if there wasn’t cause too. I understand that that was not my decision to make and I royally fucked up. But I miss you so much.”

“You know I wouldn’t have been mad, I would have understood that accidents happen. It wasn’t even your screw up. But I should have known the minute after you figured it out. We have been best friends since we were 3 years old.” Waverly growled and Chrissy nodded.

“I know. I fucked up but I want to be here for you and the baby. I might have even found you a lawyer willing to help you with-“ Chrissy was cut off by a growl from Waverly

“I don’t need your help with anything. Luckily for me it’s all worked out wonderfully.” Waverly said, glancing at the stairs and smiling.

“So you and the Alpha...?”

“Are raising this pup together. She’s been amazing about all of this.” Waverly said fondly before she frowned.

“I’m not ready to forgive you yet but I do miss you too. Maybe we can start slow?” Waverly asked and Chrissy sagged with relief before she smiled and nodded.

“Would you like to get lunch sometime over this week? I’m staying in Dad’s for a while.”

“That sounds good.”

They stood up and walked to the door before sharing a hug and then Chrissy left, feeling lighter than she had in months.

Waverly went upstairs in search of the Alpha who she found laying on the omega’s bed, her phone in her hand. Nicole tossed it aside as soon as Waverly appeared and smiled when the omega moved to the bed and climbed onto it, laying on her side and cuddling into Nicole.

“Are you ok, Omega?” The Alpha purred as the brunette buried her face into the crook of her neck and nodded.

“Yes.”

Nicole and Waverly had spoken about the mix up at the clinic multiple times. The omega had explained the hurt she felt about her friend’s actions but she missed the other omega.

Nicole had been planning on suing the Clinic but the more time she spent with Waverly, the more she realised she couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. When Waverly had found out, she told Alpha she was too. It was a fuck up that made their lives better and so the Alpha told Mercedes to drop it.

Nicole was happy her omega was on the road to repairing her friendship with Chrissy. She wanted the woman to have nothing but love and support around her.

They got up when Waverly’s stomach growled and Nicole said she would make dinner for them before they watched a movie and went to bed.

Waverly wondered if this was domestic bliss that she felt as she watched the Alpha cook at the stove. If it wasn’t, she didn’t know what was.

Chapter Text

Christmas morning the Alpha and omega woke up to Waverly phone ringing. The brunette grunted unhappily and buried herself deeper into Nicole’s side and the Alpha wrapped her arms around the omega and chuckled.

The phone stopped ringing for a moment, much to their relief, but it started again a minute later and Waverly growled before reaching across Nicole to get her phone.

“it’s Wynonna.” Waverly said before answering. She hadn’t spoken to her sister since the beta and omega had argued a few days earlier. “Hey.”

Nicole tried not to listen but with her Alpha hearing she could clearly hear the woman on the other end of the phone.

“Hey, are you at home?” the beta asked, a little awkwardly. When Waverly affirmed that she was Wynonna asked if they could speak and she was on the porch outside. The omega said she would be down soon and hung up.

Waverly didn’t want to leave her toasty nest or her Nicole but she knew she had too so she kissed Nicole’s cheek and got out of bed. She put on a pair of Nicole’s sweatpants and hoodie and saw the Alpha watching her with dark eyes so she winked and left the room.

Downstairs she opened the front door and walked outside to see Wynonna sitting on the railing of the porch.

“Come inside. I’m not planning on freezing my ass off.” Waverly said and the beta nodded and walked into the kitchen. “Have you been staying with Gus?”

“Yeah, Doc took Alice for a couple of days, he’s dropping her back this morning. Santa came to Gus’s so she’s excited.” Wynonna said and Waverly smiled but didn’t say anything. Wynonna blew out a hard breath and scratched the back of her neck. “I’m sorry.”

“it’s not me you need to apologise to.” Waverly growled.

“Waves, I was just looking out for you.”

“No, no you weren’t, Wynonna. You were being an asshole to someone who doesn’t deserve it. Someone I really care about. You have no idea what my feeling are on anything but you don’t care. If you did you wouldn’t have said those things to Nicole.”

“Waves, she was a total asshole to you in the bar when she discovered-“

“You weren’t there!” Waverly growled. “I never felt like I was in danger, she didn’t grab me and pull me out of there. She didn’t hurt me. She’s never hurt me. She’s sweet and kind, gentle and I... I really, really like her and that has nothing to do with the pregnancy.”

“How’d you know?”

“Because I'm a fucking adult who knows my own goddamn mind and heart but you still see me as a child who’s life you can dictate because I don’t know any better.” Waverly growled. “What happens between me and Nicole is NONE of your business but yet because of you she’s put up a wall and I hate that. You were completely unfair to her and she didn’t deserve it. You just wanted to get some jabs in.” Waverly said and Wynonna sighed.

“I just don’t trust her.” Wynonna growled. “it’s not like it matters about the custody agreement if she decides not to honour it. She could still just take the pup because she’s an Alpha.” Wynonna explained and Waverly snarled, fire in her eyes

“I trust her.” She said. “that’s all that matters. I want her around. I want her here and you can go fuck yourself if you think I’m going to tolerate you being such a bitch to her again.”

“OK, fine. I won’t say anything else to her.”

“She’s moving onto the land in spring. In a cabin. I want her close and I don’t want to hear a thing about it.” Waverly said and Wynonna opened her mouth to argue but seeing her sisters face she knew it would just lead to another fight.

Waverly and Nicole had looked to see if their was anything to rent nearby but there wasn’t a thriving real estate market in Purgatory and so Waverly had told Nicole she wanted the Alpha on the land so they could be close but Waverly would prefer to have the Alpha in her bed and no where else. But she couldnt move the Alpha in to the house she shared with her sister and niece as Wynonna wouldn’t allow that.

“Fine. So are we good?”

“Not until you apologise to Nicole.”

“OK, I’ll talk to her later at Gus’s.” Wynonna said and got up to leave.

Once she was gone Waverly made herself some tea and Nicole a coffee before she went back up to her bedroom. The smell of the couple in her room was delicious and the sight of the Alpha sitting up in her bed, waiting for her, made her feel happy and relaxed.

She placed the mugs on the bedside table and climbed over Nicole to get back into the bed and cuddled into the Alpha’s side.

“Are you ok?” Nicole asked, having heard them speaking but more concerned about her omega’s feelings but Waverly seemed relaxed and happy.

“I’m fine. Wynonna will speak to you later. Feel free to punch her if she’s a bitch to you.” Waverly said as they sipped their drinks.

“are you sure putting a cabin on the land is alright?”

“Yes. Its my land as much as Wynonna’s. I want you here.” The omega said and kissed the Alpha’s cheek again. “Merry Christmas, by the way.”

“Merry Christmas, Waves. Want your present?” the Alpha teased and Waverly looked at her in surprise.

“You got me a present?”

“Of course!”

“I was with you in the City the whole time.” Waverly said and Nicole chuckled.

“I bought it before I came here.” Nicole purred and Waverly smiled.

“Your present is under the tree. I don’t want to get back out of bed yet though.” The omega smiled as she nuzzled the Alpha’s jaw.

“yeah, me either.”

“I don’t know how I’m going to sleep when you go back to the City.” Waverly whined and Nicole huffed.

“Same. I have been thinking though...” Nicole said and saw Waverly looking at her with hopeful eyes. “the first few weeks of the new year are always really busy in work but when things have calmed down I can work remotely a couple of days a week so I can visit more. Once the cabin is built I can come down every weekend.

Waverly let out a happy little purr and nodded. “yes please.”

They got up when they finished their coffee and tea and Nicole made them a light breakfast as Waverly had told her Gus always made a huge meal on the day. After breakfast they sat down by the fire Nicole built and Waverly shyly gave the Alpha her gift.

Nicole opened the gift to find a face guard with new sparring gloves. She grinned at Waverly and excitedly tried them on.

“I want you to wear that then your sparring. I like your face the way it is, I don’t want to see it damaged again.” The omega said and Nicole nodded before kissing Waverly’s cheek.

“I will, I promise. Thank you, Baby.” Nicole said, the pet name slipping past her lips but Waverly glowed when she heard it.

Nicole reached into the pocket of her sweat pants and pulled out a small box and handed it to Waverly.

“It’s just something small, Waves.” She said as the omega opened it and gasped.

Inside was a beautiful silver necklace with a heart shaped pendant and a purple gemstone in the centre. Waverly had never seen anything so pretty. “Cole, its amazing. Thank you.” She said thickly before she handed it to Nicole and asked her put it on as she turned her back on the Alpha.

Nicole placed the delicate chain on the omega and kissed the skin just above the clasp before Waverly turned and gave her a chaste kiss on the Alpha’s lips, leaving her dumbfounded. “I love it.” Waverly whispered against her lips and all Nicole could do was smile.

After they showered they put the rest of the gifts into the Alpha’s SUV and Waverly directed her as she drove to the McCready’s.

When they arrived Waverly took Nicole’s hand and led her into the large wooden lodge like home that reminded Nicole of ski-lodges she had seen on her trips to different slopes in America and Europe.

Inside, Gus and Curtis , greeted them both and wished them a merry Christmas before Alice came racing out of the living room to hug her aunt and let out an excited cheer when she saw the Alpha. Nicole scooped her up into her arms as the child asked her to come and see the toys Santa had brought her as Waverly smiled at them affectionately.

Wynonna was sitting on the couch when she saw the Alpha walk in with her pup and sister. She nodded hello at them both and after Alice was done showing off her presents, the beta asked to speak to Nicole privately.

The Alpha stood and followed Wynonna out to the porch and waited for her to speak.

“I shouldn’t have said what I said.” The brunette said and Nicole bit back a smile. Wynonna wasn’t sorry but Nicole appreciated her addressing it even If she only did it to appease Waverly.

“I know you have no reason to believe me but I care about her. More than anything. She’s in charge. Not me.” Nicole said smiling.

“just don’t hurt her or ill have to shoot you and no one will find your body.” The beta warned and the Alpha arched a brow

“You know eventually I’m going to listen to my wolf and beat the shit out of you. Waverly gave me permission to.” She said, only half joking and Wynonna smirked and held out her hand. Nicole shook it and they went back inside.

The rest of the day went wonderfully, dinner was amazing and they exchanged gifts after they ate and spent the rest of the day watching movies and playing board games.

Wynonna and Alice were going to come back to the Homestead the following day so Nicole and Waverly went back to the Homestead alone.

When the pair left the McCready’s Gus snorted. She had been watching them closely all day.

“Those two are in love.” She grunted and Curtis nodded, smiling.

“Yeah. Guess you’ll have to set another place every year.” He winked.

Chapter Text

Waverly smiled when her phone rang and Nicole’s beautiful face popped up on the screen. She picked it up and answered.

“Hello, Gorgeous.” She purred seductively and saw Nicole blush before the Alpha gave her one of her devastating smile.

“Hello, Beautiful.” Nicole purred back and Waverly saw she was back in one of her business suits and in the back of the Limo. “I miss you.” She added.

“Me too.” Waverly pouted.

Nicole had been called back to the City due to an emergency with one of their clients and as it was one of their biggest, she needed to be at the office to ensure it was handled correctly and quickly. She had left the previous night and Waverly had spent the night tossing and turning in the bed that felt to big and empty without the Alpha and her warmth. The only saving grace was that the bed smelled of her Alpha.

“Can I ask you something?” Nicole asked shyly and Waverly smiled affectionately.

“Always.” She chirped and saw the Alpha relax a little

“have you any plans for New Year’s Eve?”

“I don’t know. Do I?” Waverly asked the Alpha who chuckled at that.

“I forgot that I had agreed to attend a New Year’s eve party at my Parents home this year and Mom is insistent I subject you to the torture that is my Father and brothers and many of their obnoxious friends.” Nicole huffed and Waverly snorted.

“Sounds very tempting. Tell your mother I appreciate her telling you ro ask me out.” Waverly said sarcastically but she was playing with the Alpha who instantly became flustered. She knew what Nicole meant and she loved teasing the redhead.

“No, no, I didn’t mean it that way... shit... can I start over?” Nicole grimaced.

“Please.”

“Would you like to come with me to my parent’s New year’s party? I must warn you that its going to be full of self important assholes and way to many shitty Alphas I would hate to subject you to but I know I’d have a good time if you came. You make everything better.” Nicole rushed out and Waverly melted

“And your Mom?” the omega asked and Nicole groaned as the omega giggled.

“You are killing me, Waverly...”

“Of course, I’ll go with you, Cole.” The omega purred and Nicole’s breathed out a sigh of relief.

“Thank you. Mom wants to know if she can have your number? If you say no, I completely understand.”

“Sure.”

They said goodbye as Nicole got to the office and Waverly blew the Alpha a kiss through the phone before she hung up.

She got out of bed and put on the hoodie she had made Nicole leave behind last night before she tidied around her room and went downstairs and found Alice playing with some toys and watching cartoons.

“Hey, Bug.” Waverly greeted the pup .

“Hey, Aunty Waves. Where’s Nicole?”

“She had to leave last night after you went to bed because she was needed at work but she told me to say Bye to you and she will be back soon.” The omega explained and Alice was upset at the news her new friend had left.

The little beta had become very fond of the Alpha. Nicole would play games with her and seemed to have endless patience with the little girl.

Waverly couldnt wait to see Nicole with their pup. The woman was so sweet and loving so she knew she would treasure their pup.

As she made breakfast she rested her hand on her bump and felt a kick under her palm. Waverly purred contentedly as she pottered around and rubbed her bump.

She could feel how strong the pup was and the omega had a feeling she was carrying an Alpha child. The woman imagined a child with their sire’s red head and chuckled when she thought she would never be able to deny them a thing if they had Nicole’s smile and dimples.

After Alice and Waverly ate, the omega had dressed the pup and prepare her to bring her to boxing class at the local hall. Nicole had spent some time teaching the pup one on one and while the pup had always excelled in her Saturday morning class, under the Alpha’s tutelage, Alice’s skill had improved.

Shortly after Waverly had brought Alice into the hall and taken her seat to watch her phone rang with an unknown number.

“Hello?” She answered and she walked outside the building.

“Waverly, Sweetheart, it’s Miriam.” She heard and smiled.

Waverly really liked Nicole’s mother, she was thoughtful and sweet, funny and warm. The Alpha had luckily inherited her personality from her dame and not her sire.

“Hey, Miriam, how are you?”

“I’m wonderful, Darling, I heard you’ll be joining us for the party. I was wondering if you would like to come shopping with me that day? I have my hair and makeup people coming too so please join me?” the older omega asked hopefully.

“I would love too.”

They ironed out the details and Waverly text Nicole to see if she could stay with the Alpha the night before then told Gus and Wynonna her plans so they could organise child-minding.

A couple of days later Waverly and Nicole had a sweet reunion in the City, holding each other for far too long on the sidewalk, whispering about how much they missed each other.

When they finally parted, Nicole carried the omega inside the townhouse where Nicole ordered take out from a Mexican restaurant that her omega had been craving. After the food arrived and they had eaten Nicole picked up the omega once again and carried her upstairs.

There was no discussion about where the omega would sleep. Nicole put the brunette in the centre of her bed and lay beside her.

The presence of her pregnant omega, made her wolf growl possessively and her innards twist. She felt the urge to pleasure the woman until she was nothing but a quivering mess and from the look Waverly was giving her, the omega was thinking something similar as her eyes darkened her she bit her over lip.

Nicole’s wolf screamed at her in anger and frustration when the Alpha didn’t lower her head to kiss the omega. It was hard for Nicole to restrain herself because the smell of Waverly’s growing arousal was invading her senses and the omega released a needy whimper.

The Alpha pulled back and Waverly’s face fell, she and her wolf felt the rejection deep in their chest and she whimpered as she rolled over and curled up on her side. Nicole cursed herself and keened softly.

“Waves-“

“I know. Its fine. Lets just go to sleep.” Waverly snipped. Nicole didnt try to touch the omega though she wanted to hold her so badly. She just lay on her back and looked up at the ceiling. Her wolf was snarling in her mind and the Alpha felt sick over upsetting the woman she was in love with.

They lay in silence and the air over the bed was tense for about a quarter of an hour before Nicole couldn’t take it anymore and she looked at the omega’s back then sighed.

“Baby...” she whiningly whispered in case the omega was asleep but as soon as she spoke Waverly quickly turned and buried herself into Nicole’s as the redhead wrapped her in her arms and kissed her forehead. Waverly was still stinging from the rejection but her logical side understood Nicole’s position.

The Alpha felt the Omega’s need for reassurance and she nuzzled the brunette’s cheek.

“I’m crazy about you, Waverly Earp.” She whispered and the omega snuggled into her chest, purring as she listened to the Alpha’s heart.

“I’m pretty crazy about you too. I know you don’t believe me but you’re very lucky you’re adorable.” The omega huffed before falling asleep.

The following morning Nicole went to work, worrying her lip as she left the townhouse. Waverly had been distant all morning and Nicole knew it was her fault.

She wanted the omega more than anything but Wynonna’s words kept playing in her mind. Ever day. She needed Waverly to be under absolutely no influence from an outside factor.

If Waverly regretted any action between them and said she didn’t want the Alpha it would break Nicole’s heart. She knew Waverly could break her with one word.

She sighed when she sat into the back of the Limo and opened her phone’s camera roll. She thumbed through all the memes they had sent to the other and selfies of them they had taken over Christmas. She hoped she hadn’t ruined things.

Miriam picked up Waverly shortly after the Alpha left for the office and had her driver bring them to the older omega’s favourite designer store. The party was black tie and she planned on treating the younger woman to an outfit that would make the Waverly shine.

Miriam’s personal shopper greeted the two omega’s and brought them to the plus dressing rooms where they sat on the couch and were offered beverages before the shopper, a middle aged woman named Carol, asked Waverly some questions to get a feel for her style while Miriam looked at the gowns Carol had hung up on display for her.

When Miriam had chosen a flowing gown and matching shoes it was Waverly’s turn to try on the selection of dressed Carol hung up for her.

“Are you wishing to try and disguise the bump or no?” the beta asked Waverly, who shook her head. She would never try to hide her bump especially when she was with Nicole.

Miriam smiled fondly as Waverly modelled the options. The young woman was such a beauty, inside and out, and she couldnt understand what her daughter was waiting for. Nicole and Waverly were made for each other.

After they finished shopping for dressed, shoes and accessories, they went for lunch and then Baby shopping at the older omega’s insistence.

Later that evening, after Waverly’s hair and Makeup had been professionally done and she had dressed in her skin tight, turquoise ankle length dress with a beaded bodice and a slit up to her thigh. She wore strappy, silver high heels but no where as high as Nicole’s usual heels.

The butler knocked on door and informed Miriam that the guests had begun to arrive and Nicole was waiting for Ms Earp in the entrance hall.

The Omegas left Miriam’s room and made their way down the stairs. The blonde saw Nicole at the bottom of the stairs, saw her catch Waverly’s scent, turned to look up the stairs and see her face morph into a look of pure awe.

Waverly blushed prettily when she met the Alpha’s darkened gaze. The redhead began to walk up the stairs to meet the omega and Miriam smirked when she realised Nicole hadn’t even registered her mother’s presence.

“You are a vision.” Nicole said in a gravelly voice.

“Me? You should see you.” Waverly purred as she ran a finger along the collar of Nicole’s strappy black jumpsuit. Her hair was pinned up on soft curls and her makeup was smoky and sultry.

Nicole’s eyes ran over the omega’s body and she saw she was wearing her Christmas gift from the Alpha before her gaze settled on the woman’s neat bump. She bit back a possessive growl and she had to stop herself from scooping the omega into her arms and bringing her to her old bedroom so she could claim her in every other way.

Instead she offered her arm to the omega and smiled when Waverly tucked her hand into the crook of her elbow and they descended the stairs.

Chapter Text

Nicole and Waverly walked around the party speaking politely with everyone who stopped to speak to Nicole or whoever Miriam wanted to introduce them too. When they weren’t making small talk with the party guests, they were standing close with only eyes for each other.

Anyone who saw them thought they were an extraordinarily attractive couple who seemed very happy together.

Miriam was delighted to tell people that Waverly was pregnant with her first grandchild and many of the Omega’s friends commented on how happy the couple seemed as they watched Nicole whispering in the younger omega ear and eliciting a giggle or a smile from the enchanting new comer.

Nicole had just introduced Waverly to one of the investors in the company and his Mate when Nicole sensed her Head Alpha enter party and hugged Connor when he walked over to them and he kissed Waverly’s cheek.

“Ms Earp, you look radiant. It’s so nice to see you again, I was wondering if Nicole was keeping you hidden.” He said jovially as Waverly chuckled and patted the females chest.

“Oh, trust me, it was the other way around but I certainly see where she got her Alpha charm from.” Waverly smiled and winking at a blushing Nicole. Connor smiled as he took in the way Waverly and Nicole’s bodies were angled towards each other as Nicole had a protective arm softly resting on the omega’s waist.

“Good. She spends far too much time working. So please keep it up.” Connor smiled before his face fell and he turned to look at 2 arrogant male Alphas striding towards them and Waverly felt Nicole tense as her fingers tightened in the omega’s hip.

“Hey, Pops, Mutant, and who are you?” the strawberry blond man who looked like Nicole’s sire grinned lecherously at Waverly as he openly ogled her.

“Fuck off, Tommy.” Nicole growled as Waverly leaned back into her front and gripped her hand.

“Have some respect, Boy.” Connor growled. “This is your sister’s omega.” The man said and Nicole choked as Waverly kissed her under her jaw. The redhead was worried when her grandfather claimed Waverly was her omega, that Waverly would take offense but it was pretty obvious she didn’t.

The two men’s smiles turned to sneers as they looked at their sister.

“She’s too hot for you.” The other male said to Nicole and Waverly growled at him before asking Connor to excuse them and pulled Nicole away from them by the hand.

“Your brothers?” Waverly asked as they walked through the different rooms, still holding hands.

“Unfortunately. Junior was right though, you are too hot for me.” Nicole said and Waverly smirked at her before she rose up to whisper in her ear.

“Is that why you won’t fuck me?” she asked and Nicole’s eyes widened impossibly large as she froze in place. The omega giggled and poked the Alpha in the stomach. “Relax, Gorgeous, I know you will pluck up the courage eventually.”

Nicole was in a complete tizzy. This omega constantly had her feeling like she was off kilter.

The Alpha had never had any problem with women before but Waverly wasn’t just any woman. From the moment she had met the omega in the traffic jam Nicole hadn’t felt as though she stood on solid ground.

She loved Waverly Earp with her entire being and in that moment something became very clear.

“Cole? I’m sorry, I was only teasing.” Waverly said, sounding worried.

The omega had watched Nicole gawp at her with glazed over eyes and had become concerned.

Nicole shook her head and swallowed hard before clearing her throat. “Uh... yeah... sorry.” She rubbed the back of her neck as she smiled lovingly at the now grinning omega.

Someone else called out to Nicole and so the Alpha and Omega had to drop the conversation for now but Waverly fully intended to pick it back up again when she was alone with the redhead again.

As the evening progressed, Nicole watched as Waverly effortlessly charmed everyone she spoke to as the Alpha stood proudly beside her.

It was close to midnight when Nicole saw her sire striding towards her, her omega and her mother as the two omegas were talking. Nicole frowned when she saw Nicholas with a woman she didnt recognise. She arched a brow when she copped her father’s smirk and gave him a warning look.

“Nicole, let me introduce you to my squash partners daughter, Jolene. I told her you would be happy to show her around the City as she just moved here.” He said, daring her to disagree but as always he had no power over his much far superior daughter. Miriam growled at her Mate.

“May I have a word with you?”

“No.” Nicholas said and grinned as the black haired, shrewd faced woman purred at Nicole

“I would love to have you show me around.”

Waverly didn’t like the way this omega was looking at her Alpha and her wolf was snarling in her mind as she glared at her.

“No, thank you.” Nicole said politely as she squeezed Waverly hand before she smiled down at her. She didn’t see Jolene scowl as she looked Waverly up and down, looking disgusted.

Waverly met Jolene’s gaze and tilted her head in challenge.

“Nicole, I told Patrick you would do this so do as you’re told.” Nicholas growled but Nicole just snorted.

“I would be happy to spend some time with you, Alpha.” Jolene purred and reached out to put a hand on Nicole’s arm but before the Alpha could do or say anything, Waverly reached out and pushed the woman’s hand away as she growled.

“My Alpha will be spending any free time she has with me, her omega. I’m sure you will find someone with low enough standards to show you around.” Waverly said as Miriam giggled into her champagne glass and Nicole purred.

Jolene and Nicholas growled but the couple didn’t even acknowledge them any more. The female Alpha turned to Waverly and whispered something in her ear before smiling at her mother.

“Thank you, Mom, but if you’ll excuse us...” Nicole said but Miriam pouted

“It's not even midnight yet!” the blond protested but Waverly hugged her and smiled, eager to leave.

“We will call you soon.” Waverly promised and took Nicole’s hand. They walked past Nicholas and Jolene with out another word.

As they waited in the foyer for the Alpha’s driver to pull around Waverly cuddled into Nicole’s side. The omega nuzzled into the redhead’s throat, kissing the skin around her scent gland as Nicole purred and gripped her hips tightly.

“I know you want to wait and see how I feel after this pup is born but if I have to wait then you can be damn sure I’m not going to tolerate some other omega sniffing around.” Waverly growl and Nicole grinned as the Limo pulled up.

She opened the door for the omega and helped her inside before following. Inside she scooped Waverly up and sat her on her lap, holding on to her waist and resting a hand on the baby bump.

“if you think there is a single omega out there that could distract me from you. I love you, Waverly.” The Alpha purred and the omega’s breath hitched.

“You love me?” she asked, looking down at the smiling Alpha.

“Waves, of course I do. You are incredible and far to go-“ Nicole was cut off by Waverly lowering her head and kissing the Alpha.

Waverly’s hands caressed her face as Nicole moaned into the Omega’s mouth. The way Waverly’s soft lips felt against hers, the way her tongue licked into her mouth pulled a needy growl from deep in her chest. They melted into each other as the kiss became hungry and desperate, clinging to each other until they had to pull away for breath.

“I love you too, Cole.” Waverly panted against the Alpha’s lips as she buried her fingers in the red curls. “I love you so much.” And she did. Deeply.

Nicole growled as started she kissing the omega’s neck, nipping the skin over the scent gland and Waverly keened.

Waverly pulled the Alpha’s face back up to reattach their lips, whimpering into Nicole’s mouth.

When they got back to the townhouse Nicole carried the omega upstairs and to her bedroom where she lay the omega down on the bed but Waverly kept her grip on Nicole, not allowing the Alpha to put any distance between them. Nicole chuckled and lay atop Waverly, holding her weight off the omega with her arms.

“you are so beautiful...” Waverly purred as she looked up at the Alpha hovering over her and lifted her hand to find the zip at the back of the redheads body suit.

“Waves, I want to go further but I can’t... I just don’t want to risk-“ she was cut off by the omega kissing her sweetly.

“I love you. I can wait but I’m yours, Alpha.” Waverly purred and Nicole growled low.

“I’m yours too, My omega.”

Waverly pushed Nicole up and sat up herself before standing and unzipping her dress. She was only wearing a thong and Nicole let out a possessive, rumbling growl as she took in the omega’s nakedness. She was so beautiful with her long legs, the right mix of hard muscle and soft skin. Her Olive skin was so smooth and her breasts were heavy with dusky, pebbled nipples that made Nicole’s mouth water.

Waverly was smirking as she put her foot up on the Alpha’s knee and Nicole bit her lip as she undid Waverly’s strappy shoes one by one as the omega watched her with dark eyes.

When the omega crawled into the bed and turned to watch Nicole strip. The woman was breath-taking as her long, slim body was exposed. Waverly bit her lip as Nicole took off her bra and climbed into the bed behind the omega.

Waverly melted against the Alpha’s body and purred as the woman rested a hand on her baby bump.

“they are always so active when you are around.” Waverly said quietly as Nicole kissed her neck softly. “I love you, Cole.”

“I love you too, Waves.”

Chapter Text

Waverly had spent her first week back in school being grilled by her students about the fact she was pregnant for an Alpha.

She had had to tell them to stop questioning her as it was her personal life and none of their business while she blushed. However word had spread about just how hot Ms Earps girlfriend was and many omega students were green with jealousy.

Rosita had been teasing Waverly all week about the Alpha and smirked when Waverly slapped her hand on the table they had been eating their lunch at and growled.

“She’s mine. Stay the fuck away from her.” Waverly had growled, her hormones raging and her wolf snarling.

“Oh, I know, Waves, and even if I wanted her, she’s obviously nuts about you.” The Latina omega said sincerely and saw Waverly relax and smile.

“She is, isn’t she?” the smaller woman sighed. “I love her. She’s the most amazing person I have ever met.”

“I’m happy for you, Waves. You deserve someone who is gonna take such good care of you.”

After the school week ended Waverly drove home and smiled when she saw Nicole’s SUV parked outside the Homestead and hurried into the house and followed the scent of her love into the Kitchen where she found Nicole cooking dinner while Alice chatted to her animatedly.

Waverly melted when Nicole gave her a blinding smile and opened her arms for the omega to run into them and let out a happy purr when Waverly kissed her sweetly

“Aunty Waves, is Nicole your girlfriend?” the pup asked and Waverly grinned as Nicole spluttered a little.

She and Nicole hadn’t spoken about what they were other than the fact they loved each other but Waverly was taking the lead.

“Yes, Bug, she sure is.” Waverly said and saw Nicole grin. The omega began helping the Alpha finish dinner as she asked her girlfriend where Wynonna was.

“She got called in to work. I told her id watch Alice until Doc arrived.” Nicole explained.

“She wasnt a bitch too you, was she?” Waverly asked and Nicole chuckled before shaking her head.

“She was fine, Sweetheart.” She shrugged before they sat down to eat with the pup before Waverly left to shower and change into her warm PJs. When she returned she found the fire lit and Nicole handed her a cup of hot chocolate just before the front door opened and she saw Doc.

“Hey, Henry.” Waverly smiled and took Nicole’s hand. “I’d like you to meet my girlfriend, Nicole Haught. Cole, Baby this is Alice’s dad, Doc Holliday.” She introduced the beta to the Alpha and watched them shake hands and smile.

“Alice has told me a lot about you. She’s certainly a fan.” The male said with a smile.

“She’s a great kid.” Nicole smiled at the pup.

“Won’t be long until you have your own bundle of joy.” Doc said as he picked up his daughter and after they made some more polite small talk the man took the pup left.

“Alone at last.” Waverly purred as she turned and pulled Nicole down into a kiss as the Alpha pulled her against her front and Nicole felt the pup kick against her stomach.

“I missed you.” Nicole purred against Waverly’s lips. It had been a week and a half since they had seen each other and Nicole had felt bereft without her omega.

“I missed you too.” Waverly purred before they sat on the couch together.

“I missed you as well, Little One.” The Alpha said as she lowered her head to kiss the baby bump over the fleecy fabric of Waverly’s sleep shirt. Waverly ran her fingers through Nicole’s hair and smiled as the Alpha rested her head on her belly.

“I can’t wait to meet them.” Nicole whispered and Waverly smiled dreamily.

“I hope they look like you.” The omega sighed. “I hope they have your hair and your sweetness. I bet they will be as wonderful an Alpha as their sire.”

Nicole blinked up at her. She knew the pup was an Alpha but she hadn’t known that Waverly had also known.

“You don’t mind having an Alpha pup?” she asked as Waverly continued to comb her fingers through the Alpha’s hair but the omega huffed.

“Why the hell would I mind? If they are anything like you they are going to be wonderful. I love you and I love this pup.” Waverly said and Nicole purred loudly.

They spent the evening kissing and cuddling before they went up to bed and stripped. They slid into bed and Waverly purred as she felt Nicole’s body against hers, the Alpha’s warm smooth skin pressed against her as Nicole curled around her.

The following morning after breakfast they went into town to speak to the small company that would build the cabin on the land for the Alpha. When they got to the lot outside of town, they were greeted by an older portly man who showed them around the lot with the different cabins that were on display.

While it was supposed to be Nicole’s they both knew Waverly would be spending as much time in it as Nicole and the Alpha wanted her omega to chose the one she liked most.

They explored the different cabins until they made their choice and made arrangements for it to be started in the next couple of weeks. They chose a 2 bedroom cabin with a kitchen and Living room slightly bigger than the Homestead’s.

Afterwards they went for lunch in Mama Olive’s before Nicole got a call from the office saying she was needed.

The Alpha was so apologetic to her omega and she hated to cut their time short but Waverly understood even if she wasn’t happy about it.

They had shared a long, slow kiss on the porch before Nicole left. The Alpha was in a foul mood for the rest of the weekend without the omega.

Over the next month or so they barely saw each other.

Nicole was so busy with work but she was miserable. By the time she got back from the office every evening it was late and she would only get to speak to her girlfriend for a short time. She missed her Omega.

The only time they saw each other was when Nicole had to go to Purgatory to sign some paperwork for the cabin. The Alpha had only been able to stay long enough to share a meal with her love before she had to go back to the City.

Waverly was feeling her Alpha’s absence keenly and had fallen into a slight depression without the woman’s presence. She understood Nicole had a huge company to run but she missed her desperately.

Her bump had grown massively and she felt bloated and gross and her anxiety made her think Nicole didn’t want to see her because of that but logically she knew it was bullshit.

She could hear Nicole’s sadness every night when they spoke and it hurt her to know her Alpha was in pain.

She had decided to surprise Nicole on valentine’s day and told the principle that she had a doctor’s app in the city so she could have the day off. On valentine’s morning, a Friday, she packed an overnight bag and drove to the City and to Nicole’s offices.

She followed the directions at the front desk and took the elevator to the top floor where she stepped into a waiting room where a man sat behind a desk and smiled when he saw her.

“Hello, Ma’am, how can I help you?”

Before Waverly could speak the office door opened with a bang and she saw her Alpha looking at her in delighted surprise. Nicole hurried to her and hugged her tight. She had smelled Waverly’s scent as soon as the woman was out of the elevator.

“What are you doing here?” the Alpha asked quietly as she inhaled her omega’s scent. “Is everything OK? Are you ok?” she asked with a sniffle and Waverly smiled and sighed

“Yes we are both fine, apart from missing you. I decided to surprise you for valentine’s day.” Waverly explained and saw Nicole’s face fall.

“Oh Gods, Waves, I completely forgot about fucking Valentine’s day.” She whined apologetically but Waverly shook her head and smiled

“Its fine, Cole, I know you’ve been busy but I wanted to see you.” Waverly said, wondering if she crossed a line by showing up at the Alpha’s work. “I probably should have called first.”

Nicole shook her head as she wore a massive, dimpled smile and kissed her girlfriend sweetly. “Not at all.” She took Waverly’s hand to lead her into the office. She closed the door behind them and they fell into each other, kissing desperately as they clung to one another.

“Fuck, I miss you so much!” Nicole panted into her mouth as Waverly tugged on her hair slightly.

“I missed you too, Cole.” She bit the Alpha’s lip and sucked it into her mouth as the redhead groaned. “Your scent has faded from my bed and I’m not happy about it.”

Nicole purred as she gave the omega a hungry look.

“I promise, in another couple of weeks I’ll be able to move to remote working and only have to come into the office if there’s a problem.” The Alpha said as she kissed the smaller woman’s neck. “you’ll be sick of the sight of me.”

“Never.” Waverly whimpered as Nicole sucked on her neck.

“Fuck this.” Nicole growled and let go of her girlfriend who let out an unhappy grumble. The Alpha opened her door.

“Ambrose, can you reschedule-“ she started but the male cut her off.

“Already done.” He gave her a knowing smile. “I told everyone your pregnant omega needed you so they understood.”

“Remind me to give you a bonus at the end of this month.” Nicole said gratefully and went back into her office where Waverly was grinning at her.

“Lets get out of here.” The Alpha growled and Waverly took her hand before giggling as Nicole pulled her from the office.

“What would you like to do?” the Alpha asked as they waited for the Elevator to go down.

“You.” Waverly said and Nicole rolled her eyes affectionately, she should have expected the omega to say that. She chuckled and shook her head.

“You are incorrigible, Ms Earp.” She purred and kissed the omega who giggled.

“Can you blame me? I’m constantly wet when I’m around you and I missed you so much.” The omega said and Nicole growled low before wrapping the omega in her arms.

“I love you, Waverly.” She purred before they arrived at the ground floor.

She took Waverly’s keys and drove them to a place outside the city. A small farm that had a store and restaurant attached. It was pretty and the staff seemed lovely. They went into the store first and looked around before they ate.

After lunch they walked around the petting zoo and fed some of the animals, took photos and enjoyed their time together.

As they were walking around they heard a small meow and turned to see a fluffy, Ginger kitten trotting towards them. Waverly cooed as Nicole lifted the feline into her arms as it purred and began to rub its face off the Alpha’s.

“Oh, Cole, its so cute.” Waverly cooed as she stroked it’s soft fur. “Can we keep it?” she asked with heart eyes and the Alpha chuckled.

“It probably belongs to the Farm, Love.” Nicole said and saw the omega pout. “We can always ask.” She really couldn’t refuse the omega anything especially when Waverly smiled at her.

They found one of the staff who told them the kittens were free to take as the mother was a feral yard cat that they hadn’t been able to trap and spay.

“I guess we better go to the pet store and vet. They will need shots.” Nicole said and they took the kitten and their purchases to the jeep.

Waverly called a vet on the way back to the City and made an appointment for later that day before they went to a large pet store and Nicole followed the omega around with a trolley as Waverly filled it.

“Does it really need 500 toys, Love?” Nicole chuckled as Waverly help up toy after toy to the feline who batted them with their paws.

“Yes, they sure do.” Waverly said before asking a staff member to show her the right food for the kitten. The young woman also took the kitten from the omega and looked it over.

“Congratulations, its a girl.” The beta said and Waverly cooed again before taking the food and going to look ay collars. Nicole smiled before turning to the sales woman.

“My omega is pregnant. Is it safe for her to be around the kitten?”

“Yes, she just needs to wash her hands and preferably not be on cat litter duty but if she wears gloves and scrubs her hands if she HAS to clean it. But we do have robot cat litter trays that automatically takes out the used litter and empties it into a bin that can be pulled out but they are very expensive.”

“can you show them to me please?”

Once they had made their purchases and Nicole loaded the jeep, they went to the vet. They both chose a name and Waverly flipped a coin. Nicole won and so the kitten was christened Calamity Jane Haught.

“We aren’t choosing the pup’s name like that.” Waverly huffed and Nicole agreed before the kitten meowed loudly at the Alpha.

Chapter Text

Nicole smiled when she heard Waverly’s jeep pull up outside the Homestead and the omega rushed inside and up the stairs where she found the Alpha laying on her bed cuddling with CJ.

“What are you doing here?” Waverly asked happily as she bent over to kiss the Alpha sweetly.

“I thought I would take you out for the afternoon. There is a spa in the next town and I thought you might like to have some pampering if you have nothing else on?” the redhead smiled and Waverly kissed her again.

“that sounds like heaven. Couples massages?” the omega grinned and Nicole nodded before she stood up and took the woman’s hand.

Outside, they went over to the cabin that was almost finished and ready to be furnished. Nicole had given Waverly carte blanc to decorated as they both knew the omega was going to be living in it too and the utilities were being put in in the coming week.

They had a look around before they got into Nicole’s SUV and the Alpha drove them to the Ghost River Spa.

After hours of massages, face masks, manicures and pedicure, the couple felt relaxed and happy as they drove back to Purgatory. Nicole asked the omega if she wanted to stop into Shorty’s to grab some food before they went back to the Homestead.

Waverly was 7 months pregnant now and felt hungry constantly. The pup inside her sapped her energy as it grew stronger and bigger every day so when her Alpha suggested a slap up dinner Waverly had no intention of saying no.

She loved that Nicole took such good care of her.

“I’m really happy that the clinic mixed up the samples...” she said as she looked at Nicole lovingly and Nicole gave her a surprised look.

“Really?”

“Why are you surprised?” Waverly asked. “Aren’t you?” she asked, concerned. Nicole gave her an easy smile and purred.

“Of course I am but you chose someone else and I’ve always been very conscious that you never chose me to breed with in any way and what you originally wanted was very different to what you got. I know I was a shit when I found out but honestly, Waves, I love you and I couldn’t imagine doing this with anyone else.” The Alpha said as she put a hand on her omega’s lap.

“I just wanted a baby, Cole, I looked through a catalogue and essentially picked out a stranger I would never meet. But having a baby with you feels so different and so much better. I love you and I’m so happy my pup will have you too.”

“Do you know why I went into Shorty’s that day?” Nicole asked with a smile and Waverly shook her head.

“I actually never thought about it. Why?” the brunette said with interest. And she hadn’t, the events of that day and after had been what she focused on.

“I had been camping in the mountains for a few days and stopped into Mama Olive’s to get some food before heading home. I had just left the diner and saw you drive by, when I saw you I couldn’t believe it. I don’t really believe in fate but seeing you... I hadn’t been able to get you out of my mind since I had met you in that traffic jam and I regretted not asking you out ever since. I walked over to Shorty’s to ask you if I could take you out.” Nicole said and Waverly’s breath hitched.

“I thought about you too, a lot. Especially when I was alone. You were the first Alpha I ever met and I thought your effect on me was because I was an omega but , Nicole, you took my breath away when I saw you strutting towards me.” Waverly purred and Nicole scoffed.

“I did not ‘strut!” The Alpha growled, making Waverly laugh.

“Yes you did. It was all very sexy.” The omega said before she ran her hand slowly up the Alpha’s thigh. “I used to imagine you pulling me out of the jeep and fucking me on the hood in the middle of traffic.” She growled and Nicole choked on her tongue.

“Waves, you’re killing me...” the redhead stuttered as Waverly’s hand stopped very close to her cock which twitched against her jeans. The brunette hummed and pulled her hand away as they pulled up outside the bar.

Nicole parked and rested her forehead on the steering wheel to steady herself. Damn her honourable side. Both she and her wolf were desperate to be buried deep in the incredible Omega.

Waverly patiently waited for Nicole to gather herself as she smirked. She knew the Alpha want her and was finding it difficult to hold off taking her but Waverly didn’t want her to hold off. She wanted her restraint to break and have her love fuck her senseless. She wanted the Alpha’s knot.

Hell, what she really wanted was Nicole’s bite. She wanted the Alpha to claim her forever.

When Nicole had composed herself, they got put of the SUV and took each others hand as they entered Shorty’s.

“SURPRISE!” They heard shouted at them and Waverly gasped as she took in many of their family and friends gathered around the bar that was decorated with pastel coloured streamers, balloons and banners.

Waverly gasped. “what’s all this?” she asked and looked at the Alpha who was smiling.

“Aunty Waves, it’s your baby shower!” Alice shouted and ran to her aunt who hugged her and looked at Nicole.

“Did you know about this?” she asked before the Alpha nodded and kissed her temple.

“She planned it, Baby Girl.” Wynonna said as she hugged her little sister before punching Nicole’s arm good-naturedly.

A smiling Miriam came forward and hugged the couple as Waverly smiled in delight. She was happy to see the omega.

“Sweetheart, you are glowing.” Miriam said as she squeezed the omega. The fact Waverly was Nicole’s girlfriend now filled her with happiness and just reaffirmed her belief that they were perfect for each other and she adored the younger omega.

She moved to hug her daughter as Waverly greeted her aunt and uncle.

“She’s so wonderful, Nicole.” Miriam purred and Nicole nodded as she grinned.

“I know, Mom. She’s incredible.” Nicole said as she saw her grandfather come forward and kiss her omega’s cheek affectionately before he smiled at his granddaughter.

Eliza and Dolls were also in attendance as well as Chrissy and her father. Chrissy and Waverly had rekindled their friendship fully. Doc was also there as well as Rosita and other locals Waverly was close too.

The mood was jovial as they played party games. Wynonna brought out a piñata half way through to evening and Nicole laughed when she saw it was in the shape of a baby.

Waverly was blindfolded and everyone cheered as they watched her try to hit the cardboard baby and shouted hints at her as she swung the bat. When she finally smashed it open, instead of sweets, donuts with blue, pink and white frosting fell to the ground.

Nicole was having a beer and watching her omega speak with her friends when her grandfather walked towards her and sat beside her.

“Your omega’s family seem like nice people. They sure know how to throw a party.” The older Alpha said with a smile and Nicole nodded.

“Yeah, they are good people. Like Waves.” Nicole smiled as she watched Waverly laugh at something Rosita said.

“Nicole, can I ask you something?” the man asked and the young woman nodded.

“Is she your mate?” he asked and was unsurprised when his granddaughter didn’t even flinch.

“Yes. I mean, I believe so but I haven’t spoken to Waverly about it. After the pup is born I will ask her but my wolf has chosen her and so have I. Is that OK?” she asked Connor who snorted.

“Nicole, you are the Head Alpha of our family despite your insistence to leave me in the position. Waverly is a wonderful young woman and I am very fond of her. I can see you having a long and happy life together here.” He said and Nicole smiled. “I have something for you.” He said and reached into his suit pocket.

He handed her a small ring box and sighed.

“Alphas may not marry but my Mother gave this to my Momma on the night they mated and it was given to me when I asked Mother if I could mate with your grand mother and she wore it for all our days together. I didn’t believe your father deserved it even though I cherish your mother. Its merely a symbol of love but my parents and me and your grandmother had long, happy lives together. I want you to have it.” He said as Nicole opened the box and smiled when she saw the ring she recognised from her Granny’s finger.

It was a white gold ring with a diamond and some intricate designs etched into the band. It wasn’t ostentatious or grand. It was elegant and Nicole couldn’t help thinking it would perfect for Waverly.

She thanked her grandfather before she saw Waverly look over her shoulder and give her a soft smile what crinkled the skin around her eyes and Nicole excused herself to Connor before she put the ring in her pocket and walked over to her omega.

She wrapped her arms wound Waverly from behind and kissed her temple as the omega leaned back against her as she continued to speak to Miriam and Gus who were getting along famously.

“Having a good time?” Nicole asked quietly when there was a lull in the conversation and Waverly nodded.

“Yes, you sneaky little squirrel.” Waverly teased before Gus said it was time for the gifts.

They were gifted lots of clothes and toys for the pup, they had already bought most of the furniture they would need for the baby but they didn’t expect that they would be leaving the party with so many items.

Later when everyone was tired and full from the party food and cake Nicole and Waverly thanked everyone for coming and hugged them goodbye before they headed back to the Homestead, bringing Alice with them as Wynonna wanted to stay out and Doc had already headed back to the City.

Once home they put the exhausted pup to bed and smiled as CJ climbed into the pups bed, cuddling up beside her and watched the child and kitten from the doorway, Nicole with her arm around Waverly’s shoulders.

“Soon it’ll be our pup we will be putting to bed.” The omega said with a happy sigh as she reached up to hold the Alpha’s hand that was hanging over her shoulder and rested her head on the Alpha’s shoulder.

“I know.” Nicole puffed up with happiness and pride. “I can’t wait.”

Waverly turned off the light and the couple headed to their room where they began to strip before they crawled into bed but instead of curling around Waverly as usual, the Alpha pulled the woman onto her back and lay atop her, laying between her legs and pressing down into the Omega’s sex. Waverly’s breath hitched as the Alpha looked down at her with hungry, darkened eyes before Nicole connected their lips.

Waverly purred as she buried her fingers in Nicole’s long red hair and let out a quiet moan as she felt Nicole harden between her legs.

“I want to taste you, Omega. I want to taste how wet I make you.” Nicole growled possessively and Waverly let out a needy whimper. “I want to taste what’s mine.”

“Oh fuck, Alpha, yes.” Waverly wanted Nicole so badly. She was a quivering mess as the Alpha thrust against her before she began to kiss her way down the omega’s body, nipping and licking the skin on her chest, between her breasts and her bump before she got down the Waverly’s underwear which she ripped off with no effort and lay on her belly between the Omega’s legs, putting them over her shoulders.

She let out a hungry, possessive snarl as the smell of her omega’s dripping and swollen cunt invaded her senses and she licked her lips. The omega’s pussy was like a beautiful, blossoming flower, blooming for her.

“Fuck...” Nicole growled before she look over the baby bump up at her mate. “Are you sure?”

“Nicole, I swear to the Gods if you don’t hurry up and eat me out I am going to-“ the omega’s growl was cut off by Nicole’s tongue ran up through her dripping folds.

The Alpha had never tasted anything so heavenly and she quickly found the omega’s clit, kissed it, licked it and sucked it into her mouth as Waverly panted and cursed above her. She picked up speed and Waverly’s hips began to move. A moment later the omega had an earthshattering orgasm. The Alpha’s tongue and months of sexual frustration caused a torrent of slick to gush from her pussy and Nicole purred as she licked her clean before she resumed her ministrations.

The Alpha sucked and licked her clit and folds before she circled Waverly’s entrance. The ring of muscle was clenching, eager for penetration. She pushed inside with her tongue and groaned at the taste of her omega.

“You’re delicious.” She growled as Waverly ground herself on the Alpha’s face. Nicole pushed her tongue inside again and groaned as Waverly’s walls clenched around her, trying to pull her in further. She lifted a hand to play with the omega’s clit with her fingers.

Waverly’s second orgasm came swiftly as she cried out, her whole body a quivering mess before she fell back on the bed.

“Com’ere.” Waverly whimpered to the Alpha who climbed up to face the omega who had a blissed out look on her face as she panted. Waverly pulled Nicole down into a kiss, moaning at the taste of herself.

“You Asshole!” the omega growled and Nicole suddenly felt very worried she had crossed a line with Waverly. She tried to pull away but the brunette clung to her as an aftershock ripped through Waverly’s body.

“I’m sorry, Waves, I tho-“ Nicole was cut off by Waverly putting a finger on the Alpha’s lips.

“you made me wait months for that! You could have been fucking me with that mouth for months! Months, Nicole!” Waverly growled as she panted and the Alpha relaxed before chuckling.

“I love you, Waverly Earp.”

“I love you too, Cole.” The omega huffed as Nicole wrapped around her. Waverly felt the Alpha’s boner poking her thigh and reached down, wanting to pleasure her Alpha but Nicole stayed her hand.

“No, this was for you. Sleep now, My Omega.” Nicole purred as she hugged the omega closer to her, Waverly huffed but didn’t argue.

The soon fell asleep and dreamt of their future together.

Chapter Text

Waverly huffed out a pained groan and rubbed her baby bump as she waddled out of the High-school and into the waiting arms of her Alpha.

Every day now Nicole drove her to and from the school as her stomach had grown uncomfortably large. She was over 8 months and a week pregnant now and would be going on maternity leave the following day.

She couldn’t wait.

Nicole and Waverly had officially moved into their little Cabin which had been turned into a pretty, comfortable nest thanks to the omega. They had spent a weekend decorating the nursery together after the Alpha and Curtis had painted it and put together the furniture. The room had been decorated in varying degrees of creams and whites and Miriam had asked to paint a small mural on the wall for her grandpup to see as they grew.

The couple had thought it was a fantastic idea and had given the older omega free rein when it came to her gift. Nicole had told Waverly that her mother had painted her entire bedroom with amazing scenes every couple of years. She had loved them and said that those murals where the only thing she missed from her parents home.

When Waverly heard that she had sobbed at the sweet story and grew to love her Alpha’s mother even more than she already did.

When the couple saw the painting on the wall they both began to tear up and Waverly hugged Miriam as tightly as she could.

The blonde woman had painted an adorable trio of Teddy bears in soft, brown tones. The tallest Teddy bear had a blush of russet to its fur and long eyelashes. The bear had its arms around a smaller fawn brown bear with a baby bear cradled in it’s arms. This smallest teddy was slightly darker than the one who held it with the same reddish tint of the biggest bear.

The teddy bear family were smiling happily as butterflies fluttered around their heads and a fluffy CJ added in on the bottom. It was perfect.

Waverly was so grateful for her Alpha and appreciated the love and care she gave to her. Nicole worked remotely for a few hours a morning while Waverly was teaching and went to the City once a week if needed. She helped out with Alice and around the Homestead. The Alpha cooked for her omega every evening, made her breakfast and a packed lunch every day and most nights Nicole had to reassure the anxious omega that she still found her attractive and desirable before she worshipped the brunette with her mouth.

Much to Waverly’s disappointment, Nicole hadn’t allowed Waverly to reciprocate and it had begun to weigh on the omega as she thought the Alpha didn’t want her touch. Her wolf became subdued and Nicole quickly noticed the omega was hurting.

She had come back from some chore or another and found Waverly curled up on the sofa and Nicole could feel her distress. She had gently nudged Waverly to tell her what was wrong as she pumped out calming pheromones and pulled the omega onto her lap.

Eventually Waverly had asked the Alpha why she was rejecting her. Nicole had been aghast at the realisation that Waverly had been feeling like that.

Nicole held her crying Mate close as her wolf screamed at her for making their omega a moment of anguish.

The Alpha had told Waverly the truth. Of course she wanted Waverly in every way but what was holding her back was the fact that Waverly was being so heavily influenced by her wolf. She wanted to give Waverly what she wanted, in every way, including sexual but she didn’t want the omega to touch her until they were sure the omega truly wanted her.

Waverly had cried harder and asked Nicole if she thought that the omega didn’t really love her and Nicole wanted to punch herself for upsetting Waverly more. She shushed and cooed as she reassured her omega.

“I know you love me, I feel it in my heart. You are my world, Waverly, my everything. This is like how I wouldn’t have sex with you if you were drunk or sedated or something. I can’t take sexual pleasure from you without your explicit consent. I know that probably makes no sense but it’s something I can’t get past that there is even the slightest possibility that your pregnancy is influencing your wants. I’m sorry.”

Waverly had calmed considerably as her Alpha spoke. She was a bit pissed that Nicole thought there was even the tiniest part of her that didn’t want her incredible girlfriend but she knew Nicole’s heart was in the right place.

Waverly hoped the Alpha would claim her as her Mate. Waverly couldnt claim Nicole first as an omega couldn’t initiate a Mating. She knew in her heart and soul that should Nicole claim her, Waverly would accept.

Nicole’s words had reassured her and her wolf relaxed. Nicole had spent that night holding the omega. rocking her gently as she rested her hand on the baby bump and listed all the things she adored about Waverly.

Back in the present, Nicole helped her omega to the SUV and drove them home with Alice who was in Alpha’s car as Nicole had picked her up from school and did some errands around town.

Waverly slept on the way back to the Homestead and Nicole carried her inside their small home and laid her on the beautiful and incredibly comfortable nest Waverly had created of their bed.

She popped the pup in front of the TV and began to make dinner. Nicole would walked to the door of their bedroom every few minutes to check on her omega. The Alpha was worried about how exhausted Waverly was lately and really hoped she would feel better once her maternity leave started and she could rest.

Nicole had begged Waverly to see the doctor but the omega had eventually snapped at her. “stop it. I’m lugging around your fucking giant Alpha pup that’s turned me into a fucking Whale, Nicole. I’m just fucking tired.”

Nicole had immediately apologised and Waverly had felt terrible when she realised that she had been unfair on the Alpha who was just concerned. She was never forceful nor did she tell the omega what to do and she didn’t deserve Waverly taking her irritation out on the sweet woman.

She had hugged the woman and wept apologetically for snapping at Nicole and the Alpha had told her she had no reason to apologise, she shouldn’t have been pushing.

When dinner was ready, Nicole went to wake the omega gently and they ate with Alice before Nicole ran Waverly a relaxing bath and helped the omega into it before she brought Alice to Wynonna in the Homestead now she was home from work.

After Nicole helped the omega out of the bath, dry and dress, she gave the omega’s tired legs and feet a massage before they went to sleep.

Nicole woke up with a start shortly after 4 am and found Waverly sitting on the edge of the bed, doubled over and breathing heavily.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” Nicole asked as she jumped off the bed quickly and landed at the woman’s side.

“I think...” Waverly took her hand and squeezed it as Nicole scented the air.

“Your Waters broke!” she gasped and the omega nodded and chuckled.

“I guess they are ready to come out.”

“OK, I’m going to call the clinic and the transport.” Nicole said

“Transport? What?” Waverly asked as her Alpha grabbed her phone.

“Waves, I know I’m not going to be in a position to drive you because I’m going to be too focused and worried about you and I don’t want to risk anything or our pup being born in a car. I booked a helicopter to bring us to the clinic safely and quickly.” Nicole grinned when Waverly laughed loudly and shook her head.

“You didn’t!” she said, knowing full well that the Alpha was being truthful. Her Girlfriend thought of everything.

While Nicole made her own phone calls Waverly called Wynonna.

“Huh... Waves... what’s wrong.” Wynonna asked sleepily.

“My Waters broke. I’m calling Because Nicole booked a helicopter to come and bring us to the city and I’m sure it’s going to be loud. I didnt want you and Alice to get a fright.” She said before groaning a little at the feeling of a contraction.

“Ok, Baby Girl. I’ll drop Alice off at Gus’s and drive to the Clinic. I’ll be there if you need anything. Tell that Ginger Alpha she better take care of you! Keep me updated.” Wynonna said and Waverly growled.

“As if Nicole needs to be told.”

Nicole looked at her and winked as she spoke to the clinic.

Nicole helped Waverly dress and grabbed the Hospital go bag out of the closet before the Helicopter arrived.

When they got outside, Wynonna and Alice were waiting to hug Waverly and wish her luck.

Nicole lifted Waverly into the helicopter where she was strapped in and given a headset and Nicole sat beside her and took her hand.

“Lets go have a baby.” Waverly grinned at her Love and Nicole kissed her softly as the helicopter rose into the air.

Chapter Text

Waverly smiled at Nicole as the midwife left the room and rolled her eyes when she saw the Alpha looked anxious

“Can you relax please?” Waverly asked and Nicole grimaced apologetically before she took the Omega’s hand.

“I’m sorry, I just hate seeing you in pain.”

Waverly tugged on Nicole’ hand for her to sit on the bed so she could cuddle into her side and purred as the Alpha nuzzled her cheek and pumped out calming pheromones to sooth them both.

“Did you call the school?” Waverly asked and Nicole chuckled.

“Yes and they wished you good luck and asked that you visit with the pup when you are up for it.” Nicole smiled before Waverly had another contraction.

Waverly held on to her Love as she focused on her breathing as Nicole watched on, feeling helpless.

“Call your mother and Grandfather ” Waverly said when it had passed. “You know she’s going to want to be here.”

Nicole rang Miriam who answered quickly.

“What’s wrong?” the omega asked with worry when she answered. It was just after 6 am at that point.

“Waverly is in labour.” Nicole said and held the phone away from her ear as her mother screamed in excitement and Waverly giggled.

“Can she talk?” Miriam asked and Waverly took the phone from Nicole.

“Hey Miriam, you ready to become a Grandma?” she asked as Nicole grinned at her.

“Oh, Sweetheart, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long day. How are you feeling?”

“I’m OK, I’m feeling a lot of different things right now. Do you want to come down to the clinic? I would really like you to be here.” Waverly asked. As the only omega in her family and motherless she hadn’t really felt like she had someone who she could truly relate too until she had met Miriam. She had felt an instant connection with the blond woman and she knew that even if she hadn’t fallen in love with Nicole she would still have developed a close friendship with her.

“I’m leaving right now, I’ll be there soon, Honey.” Miriam swore, touched that Waverly had asked her to be present. She adored the younger omega, loved her like a daughter and she had warned Nicole if she ever hurt Waverly, Miriam would ensure her life wouldn’t be worth living.

The Alpha had agreed with her mother and promised her that she wouldn’t have to worry. If everything went well, Waverly would be her daughter in law.

“Thank you.” Waverly said before they hung up and she handed the phone to Nicole before she rested her head on the Alpha’s shoulder.

“Wanna talk about how you’re feeling, Omega?” Nicole asked as she rested her head on top of Waverly’s.

“I’m scared. Excited. Worried. Happy. What if its too much pain for me? What if I’m a terrible mother? What if they don’t like me? What if giving birth makes my vulva look like mince meat?”

Nicole let out a shocked bark of laughter at the last sentence and flinched as Waverly slapped her chest playfully. “I’m serious!” She chuckled as Nicole laughed even harder.

“I know... I know...I’m sorry! Gods I love you, Waverly Earp.” She said as she wiped a tear from her eye and caught her breath.

“I’ll never get you to sleep with me if it looks like it exploded.” The omega pouted before she was interrupted by another contraction

When it had passed, Nicole wrapped her arms around the smaller woman and kissed her temple.

“You can do anything, Waves, you are going to crush it. You are going to be the most amazing mother and I know our pup will love you as much as I do. I couldn’t imagine anyone more perfect than you. And as for that last thing, I’m pretty sure that’s a myth and even if it wasn’t, I was going to absolutely ruin it the first time I slept with you anyway so don’t worry about it.” The Alpha winked and Waverly huffed and poked her belly.

“You are a fucking tease, Haught.” The omega growled and kissed the Alpha. “I love you too, asshole.”

Shortly after that, Miriam arrived and hugged the couple tight. She stroked a lock of hair away from the Omega’s face, tucked it behind her ear and smiled lovingly at the brunette.

“How are you feeling, Sweetheart?” she asked as she began to plump Waverly’s pillows. “Are you warm enough? Thirsty?”

“I’m fine. Nicole’s been making sure I have everything I need, don’t worry. Is Wynonna here?”

“Downstairs. Would you like me to get her?”

“Cole, could you?” Waverly asked and the Alpha nodded, kissed her forehead and left the room. When the door closed Waverly bit her lip and looked at Miriam. “How bad is it to have an Alpha pup? This is a big baby and I’m terrified.”

Miriam cooed and sat beside the girl on the bed and took her hand. “I don’t have anything to compare it too but I don’t remember much of the pain. I know Nicole’s birth was the easiest but the boys took their time! Your are lucky you have an Alpha to hold you and help you through it. Nicholas was useless and he was my Mate. He spent the whole birth looking at my groin and asking how long more he was going to have to wait.”

“Really? Can I ask-“

“I didn’t know he was such a bastard when I agreed to be his mate. I should have trusted my wolf, she wasn’t sure about him but my father thought he was a good choice and he hid his worst parts until after it was too late.” Miriam said, waving her hand dismissively.

“Does it suck to be stuck to an Alpha like that?”

“It used to. Now he has his lovers and I’m pretty sure he’s bitten two other omegas and keeps them in apartments in the city so I barely see him.”

“Oh.” Waverly said, forgetting that as an Alpha, it would be expected for one as powerful as Nicole to have multiple omegas. Miriam chuckled when she saw Waverly’s expression and stroked her cheek.

“I don’t think you have anything to worry about in that regard, Waverly. Nicole isn’t like her father, she would want your bite and you would be here only one. I have never seen her as happy as she’s been since she met you. She looks at you like you’re the Fudge to her Sunday. You are going to get through this birth and have a wonderful future.”

Waverly hugged Miriam and thanked her just before Wynonna followed Nicole into the birthing suite.

“How’s your pussy feeling Waves? Shit yourself yet?” the beta joked and Waverly gasped.

“I’m going to shit myself?!” Waverly cried out as she looked at Miriam and Nicole thwacked Wynonna on the back of the head and growled.

“Sorry, I was kidding.” Wynonna said contritely as Nicole gave her a warning look before she sat on the end of the bed. “How are you feeling though?”

“I’m OK but new fear unlocked!” Waverly huffed.

“Don’t worry, Haught will still love you. Right, Red?” Wynonna turned her attention to Nicole who gave her a look that cooled the beta’s blood.

“Can I kill her?” Nicole asked Waverly before she sat beside her Love as another contraction hit.

“Wy, I love you but I need you to shut the fuck up or go.” The omega panted as she clung to Nicole and her sister sat in the armchair in the corner before she mimed zipping her mouth closed.

As the day went on and Waverly’s contractions became more frequent and intense while Nicole held her hand or wiped the sweat off her forehead and neck while she pump3d out calming pheromones while she praised and encouraged the smaller woman. Every so often the midwife would come in to check Waverly’s progress until she smiled and told Waverly it was almost time.

Wynonna kissed her sisters forehead, wished her luck and went to wait outside as the Midwife told Nicole that she should climb onto the bed and support the omega from behind.

Nicole did as she was told and the omega leaned back against her, holding her hands as Waverly tucked her head under the Alpha’s chin. Nicole’s wolf suddenly started taking over and the Alpha began to pump out a different pheromone than any she had ever produced before. It immediately began to have an effect t on Waverly who relaxed back into Nicole, a serene look taking over as she whimpered quietly and her instincts took over.

The midwife shared a knowing smile with Miriam who felt so proud of her daughter. She had no doubts that Nicole was the very best of Alphas and she adored her omega, her wolf knowing what Waverly needed and giving it with no hesitation.

“Ok, Pet, you can start pushing on the next contraction, ok?” the woman said cheerfully.

“Cole, I don’t know if I can do this...” Waverly whimpered but the Alpha shook her head.

“You can, Baby. You are extraordinary and soon we are gonna meet our pup. You just gotta push.” Nicole whispered back and smiled when Waverly nodded and the contraction hit.

Waverly bore down as she cried out and sat forward slightly.

“I can see the head! Good girl!” the Midwife praised as Waverly fell back against Nicole when the contractions passed. “take a second and push again when the next one hits.”

“Is it a redhead?” Waverly sobbed and Miriam and the Midwife chuckled. Waverly looked at her Alpha’s mother and asked her to check and Nicole bit back a laugh. She was flattered her love was so adamant about having a redheaded pup.

“I think it might be!” Miriam cooed when she took a peek. Truly she couldn’t see much and she didn’t want to stare.

When it was time for the next push, Waverly let out another cry as Nicole cheered her on and ignored the feeling of Waverly’s fingernails stabbing into the flesh of her hands.

“I can’t...” Waverly whimpered when she collapsed again, her whole body shaking as she panted.

“You can, Waves.” Nicole cooed before looking at the Midwife.

“The next push is gonna have to be a big one. Their head is out and once you get passed the shoulders you’ll be done.” The beta between the omega’s legs reassured.

“One more push, Baby.” Nicole said as Waverly doubled over again and woth all her strength she bore down.

When the pain and pressure subsided the room fell silent apart from Waverly panting. They waited an anxious few seconds before they heard the pup cry and the mothers and grandmother let out happy, relieved sobs as the Midwife placed the squalling infant on her dames chest.

“A healthy Alpha girl. Congratulations.” The Midwife said and Waverly nuzzled the pup and cried. Nicole gazed down in awe at her daughter.

“She’s perfect.” Waverly whispered, the pain instantly forgotten as she held their child.

“Do you want to cut the cord?” the Midwife asked Nicole and handed her the surgical scissors when Waverly gave her an approving smile. The beta told Nicole what to do and when it was done the Midwife took the pup to clean her up and check her over at the side of the room.

“Be with her.” Waverly said but the Alpha kept a hold of her omega.

“she’s OK, I can see her.” Nicole assured Waverly and kissed the woman’s temple. “You were amazing. I love you so much.”

Miriam slipped from the room to give the new family a chance to bond when the pup was wrapped in a soft blanket and handed back to her dame and Nicole got out from behind Waverly so the omega could recline comfortably but the brunette wouldn’t let Nicole go far. She told the Alpha to lie beside her before she cuddled into her side as she cradled the infant.

“you got your redhead.” Nicole smiled softly as Waverly purred. The Alpha gently stroked the tuft of hair on her baby’s head.

the pup began to nuzzle around Waverly chest so Nicole helped her out of her top. Her daughter latched on to the woman’s breast in moments and began to suck with gusto.

Nicole chuckled as she watched the child suckle and kissed Waverly’s temple.

“She has an Alpha’s appetite.” She whispered as Waverly hummed in agreement.

“She looks just like you.” Waverly sighed happily before they shared a sweet kiss.

Chapter Text

Nicole was on cloud nine as she walked out of Waverly’s room to the waiting area where Wynonna, Connor and Miriam were waiting.

As the Haught Family Alpha, Connor had the honour of meeting the pup before Wynonna but the man told both women to join him as he walked with his granddaughter, leaning on her arm.

Waverly had changed and cleaned up with the help of Nicole as held the newborn in her arms wrapped in a clean blanket and a baby grow.

Nicole thought she looked radient as the omega smiled at the Old Alpha, who made his way to the bed and kissed her cheek before looking at his great granddaughter sleeping in her dames arms.

“A fine pup.” He said with a grin as Waverly hugged Wynonna. “Congratulations. Have you decided on a name?” he asked the omega who smiled at Nicole.

“You tell them, Cole.” Waverly said, thinking the Haught Alpha would appreciate hearing it from his heir.

“This is Connie.” The female Alpha said proudly and Connor felt his eyes fill with tears.

“I’m honoured.” He said with a sniffle.

“damn, Waves, she’s a huge kid.” Wynonna said. “ and she looks just like Haught. I’m so sorry.” Wynonna joked and Nicole gave her the finger as Waverly handed the pup to her grandmother.

Miriam sniffled as she gazed down at Connie. “Oh she’s beautiful, Girls.” She looked at the Couple who were both looking at their pup with love as they held hands.

When visiting hours were over, Waverly asked Wynonna to send photos to Gus and said she could come visit with Curtis the following day with Alice before the new parents waved them off.

“Do you want me to leave too, Baby?” Nicole asked, wanting to give Waverly and their pup their space if the omega wanted.

Waverly made a little growl of protest. “Sit your ass on the bed and don’t even think about going anywhere.” She ordered her Alpha and Nicole grinned and lay beside Waverly so the omega could cuddle into her side as the pup let out a little grunt at being jostled slightly.

“Pops seemed happy, thank you for suggesting we name her after him.” Nicole whispered and Waverly smiled.

“I know what it meant to you, Cole. I can’t believe she’s finally here. Its amazing how much she changed our lives before she arrived and now we are mothers.”

“I know. I guess we should probably buy that Jeremy guy a house or something to say thanks.” Nicole said and Waverly giggled.

“We are definitely making the next one the old fashioned way.” The omega said and Nicole choked.

“The next one?” she squeaked and made the omega smirk at her.

“maybe in a few years. Give me a break, I just gave birth.” Waverly jokingly scolded the Alpha who rolled her eyes affectionately. She loved Waverly ribbing her.

“Do you think CJ will be jealous?” the omega asked suddenly and Nicole shrugged.

“You have spoiled her rotten, Waves, she might get upset you won’t be 100% devoted to her any more.”

“Well you’re gonna have to go to the pet shop before we go home and buy her lots of new toys.” Waverly decided.

“Waves, if we get any more toys for that bloody cat we could open a pet store of our own.” Nicole said before seeing the warning look the brunette was giving her. “I’ll go buy her some new shit.” She said with defeat.

They slept together on the small bed that night, both of them waking when the pup needed to be fed and Nicole would change Connie’s nappy after before they would sleep again.

Early the next morning, Dr Moody came around and congratulated the couple before checking Waverly and the pup over and told them they could actually go home that afternoon as they were in perfect health.

Nicole rang Curtis and asked if he could bring her SUV when he and Gus were coming to see the pup so she could drive her family home before she left to get Waverly some herbal tea from the small café beside the Clinic while the omega ate her breakfast.

She smiled when she saw that the café had vanilla dipped donuts and she added two to her order before returning to her girlfriend.

Miriam arrived not long after and Waverly asked her to mind the pup while Nicole helped her shower in the ensuite. She was still a little shaky on her legs and didn’t trust herself to be able to stay standing long enough to wash properly.

When the omega felt sufficiently clean, Nicole wrapped her in a towel and dried her as she sat on the closed lid of the toilet. They stayed in comfortable silence while Nicole combed Waverly’s hair out and braided it for her before she began to help her dress.

Nicole was helping her into a fresh pair of pyjama pants when she froze.

“What is it?”

“Nicholas.” She growled and stood. “Stay here.” Nicole strode out of the bathroom and found her sire towering over her dame as Miriam clutched the pup to her chest as she wore a nervous expression.

“What are you doing here?” Nicole snarled at him. “Mom, bring Connie to Waverly.” Nicole ordered and saw the man scowl.

“No, you’ll put it down and come with me. We won’t be having any more to do female Alphas.” He spat but Miriam ignored him and made to move but he grabbed her arm.

Nicole’s eyes flashed gold and she snarled as Waverly appeared and pulled Miriam into the bathroom and took the baby.

“Uh...” Nicholas suddenly looked very apprehensive as his daughter stalked forward.

“What the fuck are you doing?” she snarled at him and he swallowed hard.

“I... I’ve decided that if you can’t produce a male Alpha and you wont do... what you’re told then you are no good to the Haught fam-“ he was cut off by a humourless chuckle.

“You think you are ever going to be the Haught Alpha? You think you can tell me what to do? Challenge me?” she asked as her teeth lengthened and sharpened.

“I’m your sire, you lost me a good business opportunity because you wouldn’t show Richards's daughtet around. You should be only be loyal to me and not your crippled grandfather. And now you’ve thrown your lot in with some little tramp!”

Nicole grabbed him by the throat and hoisted him into the air as she snarled at him again. No one insulted Waverly. She slammed him back into a wall and began to choke him, expressionless as he struggle against her hand around his neck as he went a deep shade of red first, then blue.

The bathroom door opened and the redhead looked as her concerned Girlfriend and released her father so he slid down the wall and crumpled on the floor.

She picked up her phone and made a call. “Pops, Operation Ding Dong.” She said into the phone as she looked at Nicholas with distain as he spluttered. “Yep, he did.”

When she hung up and sat on the bed as the Omegas watched her from the bathroom door way.

“You’ve always been a prick but Invading my omega’s birthing room, laying a hand on my mother as she held my child in front of me? You must be a special kind of dumb ass.” She said dangerously before looking at her watch. “You’ve been frozen out of your accounts, you’ve been disinherited and you are now banned from the mansion as it belongs to Pops. Mercedes is doing it right now. All you have is the clothes on your back. If the boys don’t want to be cut off they won’t help you. Mom, as the new Family Alpha, I give you the choice whether to dissolve your Mating with him or go with him.”

Nicholas gasped painfully and shook his head. “No!” he said hoarsely. “You can’t...”

“I just did, Nicky. Pops and I were just waiting for you to cross the line. Now leave before I drag you out.” The female Alpha said easily and the man knew she was serious and he was on trouble. He looked at Miriam and glared when she retreated back into the bathroom and didn’t join him.

He shakily rose and left the room without another word before Nicole went to Waverly and hugged her as she apologised for the man’s actions before she hugged her mother and took her pup to cradle her close to her chest.

Waverly cuddled into Nicole’s side before she needed to lay down again.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you Pops and I had a contingency plan.” Nicole said to her mother.

“Connor warned me. Thank you for giving me my freedom back.” Miriam smiled at her daughter. Connor wasn’t strong enough any more to have given her that option but now Nicole had followed through with the plan.

“What will you do now?” Waverly asked as Nicole placed the pup into her arms.

“I dont know.” Miriam shrugged.

“You should move to Purgatory.” Waverly suggested and Nicole smiled. She loved how close Miriam and Waverly were. Her mother looked at Nicole in question and the Alpha nodded.

“I think you should. Free Babysitter.” Nicole joked and Waverly scolded her as Miriam grinned.

“You can count on it.” Miriam cooed before Nicole picked up the sound of a small group coming up the corridor outside. She smiled at Waverly and told her she had visitors as the door knocked and the Alpha opened the door for the McCreadys, Wynonna and Alice.

The older pup crawled up on the bed to sit beside her aunt who introduced her to her little cousin before Waverly helped her hold the baby.

“She’s cute.” Alice said as the adults smiled. The baby opened her eyes and they saw they were hazel like her dames.

Their family took turns holding the baby as they talked. An hour or so later they left so Nicole and Waverly could have some peace before they got ready to go home themselves.

Nicole went down to the SUV Curtis had driven over with Waverly’s bag and installed the car seat for Connie she had in the trunk before she went back up for her omega and pup.

Waverly was discharged and the little family was ready to go home. Waverly sat in the back seat with her pup while Nicole began to drive.

“Don’t forget to stop at the pet store.” Waverly reminded her and Nicole chuckled before nodding.

Chapter Text

Nicole came back from the grocery store and found her omega feeding their pup in the living room. She gave the omega a chaste kiss and went to put the shopping away before she got started on dinner.

A few minutes later Waverly walked into the kitchen and smiled at her Alpha as she wrapped her arms around Nicole’s waist from behind and rested her head between her shoulders.

“You ok, Waves?” Nicole asked, putting her knife down so she could turn in Waverly arms to hug her back.

Waverly had been very clingy with Nicole since she gave birth to Connie but the Alpha loved it. Both the pup and Waverly would be unsettled if Nicole was gone for any longer than an hour and the infant slept best when she was asleep on her sire’s chest.

Waverly felt so lucky to have Nicole. The Alpha woke up for every fed just to be keep Waverly company and would clean the pup up, placing her back to her crib before they would go back to sleep. The pup was a good sleeper and only really woke once in the night, around 4 am. They had moved the crib into their room as the pup slept better when surrounded by her parents scents.

The Alpha hadn’t let Waverly lift a finger in the house in the month since the pup was born.

“Yeah, I just missed you.” Waverly purred as she tucked herself under the Alpha’s chin.

“Connie in her crib?” the redhead asked and Waverly nodded

“Yep. She’s such a good baby.” Waverly said, her pup had any easy going nature very like Nicole’s. The Alpha smiled and kissed her forehead.

“How are you feeling?” Nicole asked as she squeezed her softly.

“Good. Mercedes sent you some paperwork, I left it on the coffee table for you.” The omega said, the courier having dropped it off shortly after Nicole had left for town.

“Oh right, I actually wanted to talk to you about what that’s about.” Nicole said and Waverly gave her a worried look causing her to smile. “Its nothing bad, Baby, at least I don’t think it is. I’ve been thinking about this a lot and I was wondering how you would feel if I sold the company?”

Waverly looked at her in surprise. “Why?” She asked.

“I guess I never really wanted to take it over but it was expected as the oldest and it was Pops’s so everything I studied, everything I saw my future as was moulded by the business. As long as we make Purgatory home, I don’t want to be taken away from you or Connie because of that place. I want something different.”

Waverly had no idea that Nicole felt like that but she did wonder if the Alpha truly liked her job. She stroked the Alpha’s cheek. It made no difference to her what Nicole did or had but her happiness is what Waverly cared about

“What do you want?” she asked and Nicole squeezed her again softly.

“This. Our life here. I don’t want a job hours away and being stressed about stuff that doesn’t matter, at least not to me. I don’t know what I will do yet but I do know I want to be right here for all of it, forever.” The Alpha said a little shyly as Waverly smiled.

“I like the sound of that.” The omega purred. “Have you told Connor?” she asked and Nicole nodded.

“He understands. He said he cares more about my happiness than the company and its not as if he needs the money. He’s one of the richest men in North America. And he knows family comes first. The boys will be the only ones who care but they can’t afford to buy me out.”

“Oooh are you gonna be my housewife?” Waverly asked as she grinned and the Alpha growled playfully.

“I prefer Stay At Home Alpha, thank you very much.” She winked. “I’ll be a kept woman, sending you out to work every day.” She joked and made her omega giggle before they heard the baby fussing.

Nicole said she would go and check on Connie before hurrying to their room.

“Oh dear me.” She cooed as the pup let out an unhappy cry. She scooped the baby into her arms and sniffed the air and coughed. “Yep, I’d cry too if I was sitting in that.” She brought the pup into the nursery and lay the pup on the changing table before she gagged. “Christ, Kid, have you been eating Wynonna’s cooking? Why the hell does it smell so bad!”

The pup gurgled and smiled as her little arms waved as her Mom cleaned her and put her in a fresh diaper. Connie loved her Sire talking to her and Waverly’s favourite thing was to watch her alphas interact.

The omega stood at the nursery door and leaned on the frame as she gazed at the pair. Nicole redressed her and gave her to her Mama and kissed the omega before going back to sort out dinner.

As they sat down to eat Waverly thanked the Alpha before she looked Nicole over appraisingly.

“Circling back to what we talked about earlier...” Waverly started and Nicole gave her a questioning look. “When you say ‘forever’, what does that look like for you?”

Nicole went beet red and coughed, making Waverly chuckle but she said nothing while the Alpha caught her breath.

“It’s you and me.” Nicole said when she had done so. “forever. Together. Being lucky enough to call you my Mate someday if that’s something you want?” She finished shyly and Waverly grinned.

“Nicole. Are you asking me to be your Mate?”

“Yes please.” The Alpha decided to bite the bullet and ask the question she always planned on asking at some point soon.

“If I say yes, will you finally fuck me?!” Waverly asked with a cheeky smile and Nicole huffed before the omega stood up and rounded the table to sit on the Alpha’s lap and pulled her in to a passionate kiss that left Nicole breathless for a second time. “Of course I want your bite, of course I want to be your Mate.” Waverly purred against Nicole’s lips and felt her Alpha smile against hers.

“Just so you know, I had planned on asking you in a super romantic way.” Nicole said and Waverly shook her head.

“I like my way better.” She smirked and Nicole laughed.

“Me too. But I was actually going to ask you on the anniversary of the day we met in that traffic jam.” She purred and Waverly rolled her eyes and scoffed

“Ok, fine, that is very sweet but that means waiting another couple of weeks and frankly, Nicole Haught, I am so goddamn sick of waiting.” She growled seductively before she kissed Nicole’s jaw and down her neck. “my doctor is examining me tomorrow. If she gives me the all clear you better have your mother on standby, be ready to drop Connie off with an overnight bag and make sure your hydrated.” Waverly said, patting Nicole on the cheek before she climbed off her lap and smirked when the Alpha let out a whimper.

Waverly had made it known, every day, that she still loved the Alpha despite having given birth. She flirted with Nicole constantly and the Alpha loved it.

“Ring your mother.” Waverly ordered and the Alpha nodded. Nicole knew if she didn’t, the cheeky omega would call Miriam herself and tell her exactly why they wanted Connie out of the house.

After dinner, they curled up in the living room to watch a few episodes of the Golden Girls which was Nicole’s favourite as Connie slept in her dame's arms and CJ curled up under the baby on Waverly’s lap.

The Kitten begrudgingly tolerated the baby as Connie was warm, smelled like milk and made interesting noises but had been tragically depressed when the baby first came home and her humans had seemed to have forgotten she was supposed to be the centre of their world.

She still got a lot of attention but she was a cat and prone to dramatics.

Later, after they finished the 2nd season and Nicole kissed Connie’s forehead before Waverly went to put the pup into the crib while Nicole fed the cat.

Once CJ was settled Nicole joined Waverly in the bathroom as they both got ready for bed. When the women were done, Waverly took Nicole’s hand and led her to their bedroom. The Alpha checked on the pup before she wrapped around her mate-to-be.

They soon fell asleep.

The following morning, Nicole packed Connie and her overnight bag with a supply of breast milk before she drove her pup and mate to the omega’s Family doctor. She waited in the car with the sleeping pup while the omega went into the building.

Waverly had been eager to get the all clear from the doctor so she could finally take the next step with her Alpha. She had healed very quickly after the birth and her Wolf had been eager to be claimed but they knew Nicole wouldn’t touch her unless the doctor said it was OK.

When the doctor was finished examining her Waverly couldnt help ask “can I have sex yet?” Dr Smith chuckled.

“Omega’s with Alpha’s are always so eager to get back on the horse way sooner than anyone else. It’s that special birthing connection they share, helps with postnatal healing. Just take it easy and any unusual pain, come back to me.”

“Can you put that in writing please?” Waverly asked and the doctor laughed before agreeing. She had seen how the Alpha was with Waverly and how lovely it was that the Omega’s comfort seemed to be her main concern.
When the brunette got to the car she handed the letter of approval to Nicole. “Call Miriam.” Waverly said and the Alpha grinned at the determined woman.

“Yes, Omega.” Nicole growled and obeyed. She called her mom and said they were on the way before she began to drive to Miriam’s pretty little house not far from the McCready’s.

The older omega had moved to Purgatory with Nicole’s grandfather. It had surprised everyone when Connor said he thought it too would be nice to retire out in the Country and Miriam had become his main carer and happy to do so. Nicole was happy to have her Pack close and her brothers were no longer part of it. They took a lump some of money in exchange for being disinherited and were left the mansion near the city.

Nicole’s live had drastically changed in almost a year. This time last year she was exhausted and stress in a job thay made her numb, she was single and lonely, she was just passing time in a large almost empty house.

Now she was stress free with the most incredible Omega by her side and their pup in her arms. She was loved by her soon-to-be Mate and they lived in a home full of warmth and loved. She couldnt be happier now.

The couple saw Miriam come outside as they pulled up to the bungalow. They got out and Waverly took the baby out of the car seat before she inhaled Connie’s scent

She was a little anxious about leaving her pup for the night but she wanted her attention to be solely on her wonderful Nicole.

Waverly gave Miriam a list of instructions before the blond woman assured the nervous new mother that she knew how to care for the little one as she had raised 3 of her own And at least one turned out alright.

Nicole told her mother to call them if there was any problems before she nuzzled her sleeping pup and thanked her mother.

As they drove away, Waverly grew fidgety before she reached for the Alpha’s thigh. She ran her hand up the woman’s leg, brushing off the Alpha’s cock through her thin jeans. She heard the Alpha’s breath itched and repeated tough. She had never touched Nicole’s and her fingers itched to stroke her Love’s thick member and she wanted to worship it like Nicole worshipped her pussy.

“Can I?” she asked as she fingered the zipper on the jeans and Nicole nodded as she swallowed hard. Waverly purred as she undid the button and pulled down the zipper slowly as Nicole kept her eyes on the road while her heart rate rose.

Waverly slipped her finger over the waist band of her briefs to pull them down enough to release her now hard cock and purred as it stood to attention.

She wasted no time running a finger down the Alpha’s shaft and smiled when Nicole sucked in a breath at the touch. Waverly curled her hand around it and began to stroke it.

“Fuck...” Nicole hissed. It felt so good to finally allow the omega’s touch. Her soft, warm hand felt like heaven and Waverly played with her the entire way home, using the leaking precum from her head to lube her fingers.

Nicole grunted as she pulled into the little road leading to their home on the Homestead.

“Get inside now.” She growled as she pulled the handbrake and Waverly let out a happy yip before she ran inside, followed by the Alpha.

Chapter Text

Nicole slammed the front door behind her and followed the trail of clothes on the hallway floor that led to the bedroom.

She ripped off her hoody off and flung it and her t-shirt to the floor as she entered the bedroom and found Waverly kneeling on the bed in her maternity bra and a pair of Nicole’s boxers.

“Sexy, right?” Waverly giggled as she shook her hips. She knew Nicole wouldn’t have a problem with the less than attractive underwear.

The Alpha licked her lips as she took in the woman. “I fucking love you, Waverly Earp.” She growled as she kicked off her shoes. She tried pulling her sports bra off and pushed her jeans down her legs at the same time, getting tangled in them and loosing her balance, landing in the floor with a thump and an Oomph.

“Cole!” Waverly yelped as the Alpha untangled herself and jumped to her feet a second later, both of them breaking into giggles before Waverly reach out to pull the Alpha on to the bed and into a sweet kiss. They were as giddy as teenagers as they lay down on the bed, the Alpha laying atop her omega as their hands wandered over bare skin, excited to finally have no more obstacles to stop them from giving in to the passion they felt.

“I’m gonna leave the bra on, don’t touch my boobs, they are way too tender and I don’t really want to leak everywhere.” Waverly said before they both broke into another fit of giggles.

Nicole promised she wouldn’t touch the tits but she wasted no time in sitting up and pulled her boxers off the omega and let out a hungry growl as Waverly’s legs fell open before her and smelled her arousal. She licked her lips and made to lower her mouth into the Omega’s cunt but Waverly stopped her.

“I love your mouth but I don’t want to wait any longer for you to fill me Nicole. Please.” Waverly said and the Alpha nodded before kissing her.

Waverly hands pulled Nicole’s briefs down before pulling the Alpha down atop her, finally feeling the woman’s bare cock against her swollen cunt. She was so wet, her playtime with the meaty, pink member in the car had made her mouth and her pussy water. She had never wanted to be fucked by something so bad and she was dripping with anticipation as the Alpha guided the leaking head of her cock and ran it through the omega’s folds.

Waverly let out a needy whimper as the smell of her arousal filled the room and she watched Nicole scent the air and her eyes flashed gold which Waverly’s wolf responded too, her eyes flashing green back at the Alpha who growled possessively.

“Bite me, Alpha. When you knot me, Bite me.” The omega ordered and Nicole smirked before guiding the head of her cock to the omega’s entrance.

She slid straight in with little resistance thanks to the slick gushing from the omega and when she bottomed out she growled as the omega trembled beneath her with a guttural moan as she adjusted to the woman’s girth.

“Yes, My Omega.” Nicole growled as she thrust her hips in a shallow jerk that had Waverly gasp and cup the Alpha’s ass cheeks.

“Fuck...” she hissed before Nicole began to move in smooth motions, slow and deep listening closely to the sounds Waverly was making to ensure her omega was comfortable.

Nicole kissed Waverly and swallowed the moans she pulled from the omega’s throat as Waverly’s legs wrapped around the back of the Alpha’s strong, muscular thighs as she urged Nicole to go just a little faster.

Waverly was getting wetter and wetter as Nicole fucked her, filling with slick and the Alphas precum and the sounds filling the room were obscene.

Nicole’s eyes rolled back in her head and she felt Waverly’s walls clench around her cock and she let out a gravelly low growl before she reached behind her head and pulled Waverly hands from around her shoulders and slammed them down onto the pillow over the omega’s head, pinning them under one hand and supporting herself with the other as she began to move at a different angle, thrusting up to hit the omega’s front wall over and over before Waverly began to let out grunting moans.

“Come for me, Omega, I wanna feel you come on my cock.” Nicole growled and Waverly obeyed with a scream of ecstasy as she crested into the most intense orgasm she ever had, her hands still pinned over her head and her walls vibrating around the Alpha’s penis as Nicole continued to fuck her through it.

“Good girl.” Nicole purred as Waverly collapse against the bed, breathing hard. “You take me so well...” she praised and the omega moaned again.

“I been waiting for this for a while.” Waverly purred before tugging her arms slightly and smiled when Nicole released her hold on the omega who then pulled Nicole down into a kiss. “I didn’t tell you to stop.” She growled against Nicole’s lips and the Alpha grinned before beginning to thrust again.

Waverly’s growl was cut off by a moan and she threw her head back as Nicole began to nip at her neck as she moved her hips much faster.

Waverly’s nails cut rivets into the Alpha’s porcelain skin on her shoulders as Nicole sucked on the skin on her neck before she pushed the woman onto her back suddenly and straddled her surprised Mate, bracing her hands on Nicole’s chest and groaned as she sank deeper onto the Alphas mast.

The redhead gripped Waverly’s hips as the omega ground down on her, feeling deliciously full as she rubbed her swollen clit of Nicole’s pubic bone, and the Alpha was entranced, it felt amazing and Waverly’s looked incredible as she took her pleasure from her.

Her Knot began to form and Waverly grinned as she felt the ball of nerves expanding against her entrance. She was finally about to feel what it would be like to be tied with her Alpha as Nicole marked her as her omega. She couldnt wait for Nicole to claim her.

She became impossibly wetter as Nicole began to thrust upwards before she felt the knot slip inside and lock them together

“Ah Fuck!” They both cried out in pleasure and Waverly came again before Nicole pulled her lips down into a kiss before for Waverly pulled away and pressed the Alpha’s face into her neck

“Mark me.” Waverly said and gasped as Nicole’s teeth sank into the flesh of her throat with no hesitation. As soon as the Alpha tasted the omega’s blood, her balls tightened and she shot thick ropes of cum into HER omega.

Waverly came again from the bite and being pumped full of Nicole’s essence. She felt the Alpha pull her mouth away and she turned her face to kiss her.

“My turn.” Nicole smiled as she exposed her throat for Waverly and the Omega purred as she clenched her cunt around Nicole’s not before she bit into the flesh, bonding them fully and completely and Nicole came again.

When Waverly sat up both their eyes set on the omega’s stomach, protruding slightly from being filled with the Alpha’s seed and they both felt a primal pull.

“How soon do you wanna make Connie a sibling?” Waverly asked and Nicole grinned up at her.

“How soon are you in heat, Mate.”

Waverly purred and lay on the Alpha’s chest, feeling unbelievably happy and she could sense how much Nicole loved her through their Mating bond. Nicole’s strong arms wrapped around her as they smiled like the idiots in love that they were.

5 Years later

“Ouch! Mom, Mama, Sybil hit me!”

“Liar! Mama, Margot took my Teddy!”

Nicole and Waverly sighed as they shared tired look and Waverly rubbed her Belly as Nicole drove through the snow on the country roads.

“Girls, knock it off or we won’t be going to Grandma’s.” Nicole threatened and Waverly gave her a look before snorting.

“But, Mom-“

“Nope! You girls know that you keep your hands too yourselves.” She growled over her shoulder at the 4 year old twins as Waverly gave them a scary look.

“Listen to Mom.” Waverly added as the Alpha twins nodded, knowing their parents were serious. The omega looked at her oldest pup gazing out of the window at the snowy barren landscape and she smiled.

Nicole and Waverly had conceived Sybil and Margot only two months after Connie was born. While Connie had been a dream baby that lulled them into a false sense of security, they stupidly thought they had the parenting shit down, the twins came into the world to create as much chaos as humanly possible.

Connie was sweet, relaxed and gentle, like her sire. The little girl was so like Nicole and Waverly adored her.

Don’t get her wrong, she would kill for the twins, loved them without measure but those little terrors got Drunk Wynonna’s personality. Up for anything and happiest when causing destruction. Sybil thought her destruction through for the end result to be as big as possible but Margot was reckless. It was amazing to see them in action at times.

Nicole had converted the old barn into a smash room for the twins to go wild in. She gave them helmets, gloves and baseball bats and let the loose on the old furniture and metal items she had found. It had worked wonders for the twins and helped them burn off some of their boundless energy. The whole family had used it from time to time when they needed a release.

The little brunette and little redhead loved each other dearly and never wanted to he apart but they fought like cats and dogs.

“Do you think this one is gonna be another Alpha?” Nicole asked and looked down at her mate’s belly. This pregnancy had been a surprise because they had used birth control and wanted to wait until the twins weren’t such a handful before they considered adding another baby.

“Probably,” Waverly huffed, “not that I mind but it would be nice to have a little omega, don’t you think?” she asked with a smile and Nicole grinned.

“Oh they would be so spoiled and talk about safe with 3 older Alpha sisters. But your single-handedly increasing the female Alpha population significantly.” The Alpha grinned

Waverly chuckled and reached over to stroke her Mate’s cheek with the hand that wore the beautiful heirloom ring given to her by Nicole.

“What can i say? I liked the original so much I had to make more but I definitely didn’t do it alone.” The omega winked and the Alpha chuckled before they pulled up to Miriam’s.

Connie helped her sire wrangle her younger sisters before Nicole helped Waverly out of her SUV.

They let themselves into the house as Miriam insisted they never needed to knock and Nicole headed straight into the room her grandfather was resting in.

The old Alpha was still going strong at 86 but he slept a lot. Miriam took fantastic care of her once father-in-law and he was given regular check ups by his private physician. He doted on his great granddaughters and Nicole knew he had a soft spot for Margot as she was very funny.

Waverly was in the kitchen and greeted Miriam and her husband. Randy Nedley had won the blond woman over not long after Miriam had come to town and it had been adorable to see them courting and eventually marry before the Sheriff retired, leaving Wynonna the position.

Nicole came back to the main part of the house and hugged her mother hello, instantly getting stuck in with preparing the vegetables for the dinner that Miriam was going to cook for her growing family.

Gus and Curtis arrived with Alice not long afterwards. The beta pup ran off to play with her cousin’s as the McCready’s greeted everyone.

In the years since the Haughts moved to Purgatory they had added multiple people to their pack and everyone looked after everyone else and Nicole looked after them all as the Head Alpha.

Nicole had used her massive personal wealth to fund several charities and had invested in many local businesses and spent her days on her garden where she had built raised beds and grew lots of fresh veggies and fruit for her family. She built a chicken coop and a coral where she kept a couple of the goats they had rescued from a local farm when the owner passed away.

She had overseen the extension of their cabin to add more space and bedrooms for their growing brood

The rest of her time was spent taking care of the household chores and the pups needs so Waverly could just relax when she came home from school. The omega knew she was beyond lucky to have Nicole as her Alpha.

Her mate was as loving and attentive as she was when they were first together and nothing was too much for her family.

They caught each others gaze and shared a loving smile.

“You ok?” Nicole mouthed and Waverly nodded before Miriam began to speak to her. Her mother-in-law was still one of the omega’s favourite people.

Later that evening, when the pups were asleep and with two cups of hot chocolate, the couple sat on their porch, side by side on the bench swing, heads resting together as they looked out onto the land, wrapped up in blankets.

Nicole sighed contentedly and Waverly’s nuzzled her jaw.

“Wha’chu thinking ‘bout?” Waverly’s muttered.

“what I always think about... how lucky I am to have you and the kids.” Nicole purred before kissing the omega’s temple.

“I always think that too. My big, strong Alpha.”

They kissed sweetly and Waverly felt the baby kick. All her pups reacted to the Alpha while she was pregnant and this one seemed to be no different.

They went back to sitting in comfortable silence until they heard the sound of something crashing inside.

“Wanna take a bet on whether that’s CJ or Margot?” Nicole huffed and Waverly giggled before the Alpha left to see what the damage was and find the culprit as Waverly stayed in her cocoon of blankets, watching her Mate go as she smiled.

She was so damn lucky.

The end
