The first couple months of pregnancy were not easy for the young omega. The morning sickness was awful and Nate actually lost a bit of weight in the beginning. However, now, with the first trimester nearing its end, the omega had gained his weight back and then some. The baby bump could now be seen protruding slightly from his tiny frame.
The alpha had a hard time as well. Maurice was constantly worried about his mate; making several calls per week to the family doctor with a multitude of questions and concerns. The doctor, of course, calmly dismissing his concerns as normal, insuring that the omega and baby were both completely healthy.
Concerned about his mate and their gestating baby, the alpha had moved most of his work to the mansion; only leaving for important meetings. Nate was grateful to have Maurice home, but it was a bit of a relief when Maurice left the house for a few hours to attend meetings. For a few hours, Nate enjoyed not having to hear questions and statements like: “How are you feeling?” “Can i help you with anything?” “How’s our little guy doing today?” “Are you hungry?” “Are you tired?” “You should rest.” “You shouldn’t lift that.” To the omega, it seemed like his mate asked these same questions 20 times per day. Nate adored Maurice and it was cute how concerned and involved he was with the pregnancy, but it was nice to have peace and quiet every now and then.
(Haha...sorry if that paragraph comes across as being mean, I’m just trying to make their relationship as real as possible : ) Hope you don’t mind.)
The press had been relentless. However, Maurice and Nate stood their ground by refusing to make any public appearances until after the first trimester. To their surprise, the government had been supportive of this decision. But, that made sense. The government needed this pregnancy to be successful. Their policy to increase the alpha and omega population by selective matching and breeding was very controversial. An attractive and high profile couple like Maurice and Nate was just what they needed to show the public that their policy could be successful.
Although avoiding the public had undoubtedly shielded the couple from unwanted stress, it had opened the door to rumors and conspiracy theories. Some tabloids reported that Maurice, the playboy, was cheating on his pregnant omega. Other’s reported that he had become a jealous alpha and had refused to let his omega leave the mansion. Some gossip columns described Nate as a “terror” that treated the Durham’s staff horribly. There was even a rumor that Nate was already pregnant when the pair were wed since the pregnancy happened so quickly. But, perhaps the worst of all was the conspiracy theory that suggested Nate had become so frail, miscarried and died.
The rumors had become so out of hand, the young couple needed to act. Maurice’s press secretary suggested that the couple take some professional photos. These photos would be released to the press in order to calm down the rumors.
The photographer arrived early in the morning. The couple had been up early, consulting with stylists in order to choose the perfect outfits for the photo shoot. For Maurice, a number of slacks, jeans and button-up shirts were selected. For Nate, the stylists had chosen several form fitting pants and shirts that perfectly showed off his cute baby bump.
“Shall we begin?” The photographer asked.
