Caliban watched with interest as Shawn practically bounced in his seat, excitedly talking about the baby he was expecting and how his pregnancy was going, all the while shooting affectionate glances towards his alpha, Unity. For some reason it wasn't hard at all for Caliban to get along with the other omegas, listening attentively as they all spoke though usually it was the outgoing Shawn that had the most to say. So he sat through lunch, giving the pleased blond most of his attention while he picked through his food, nodding along with Shawn's words.
"I'm glad that you seem so happy about all of this," Caliban commented between mouthfuls of pasta. "Are you going to have the medic tell you the gender or leave it a surprise?" Thorn too seemed interested in Shawn's condition, his eyes coming up expectantly to meet with Shawn's at Caliban's question.
In fact the only two that seemed to have a real problem with Shawn's condition was Bayden and Shea; Bayden sitting there with a bitter look on his face while Shea literally looked at everything except the pregnant omega. Not that the blond could really escape the topic of pregnancy, not when he himself smelled of it just as heavily.
Shea had been getting along better with Dusk, or at least trying to as best he could. It was still strange for him to have an alpha around him, even more to so know that alpha was his. When he'd come into heat a little more than three months ago he'd tried to fight it at first, but the smell of alpha so close and the fact that Dusk was slow and comforting made resisting easy to give up. Now he kind of wished he'd put in a little more effort as the idea of him being unable to carry a child was thrown out the window the very first time he's submitted himself like that.
Instead he was stuck feeling sick most days, and he felt like strangling whomever's bright idea it was to name it morning sickness when it hit him noon and night too. Dusk was being incredibly supportive however, Shea would give him that much; unable to imagine doing this on his own and it had only been three months so far. Still, he wouldn't say that he was completely comfortable with having the alpha around him all the time and he could appreciate these times spent with the other omegas; even if that meant having to put up with Shawn's excitement over his own baby and the raven haired omega's eyes on him from across the table.
Not that he really minded the latter of the two. Fax was someone he could get along with, someone that Shea actually talked to often and probably felt the most comfortable with and that probably had a lot to do with the fact that he wasn't an alpha and he didn't try and pry him either. No, the only complaint that Shea had was the looks that Fax didn't think Shea noticed. Except he did notice, and it made him feel things that he probably shouldn't feel towards another omega. It didn't help that, now that he was pregnant, his hormones were slipping more and more out of his control and the things he wouldn't mind doing with Fax...
"Stop staring," Shea ordered with a frown, flicking a macaroni piece across the table towards the raven. "You're unusually quiet."
Over at the table with the alphas, the atmosphere was nowhere near the same. Between the dark shadows that seemed to almost swallow Leon up from nowhere as the tattooed alpha sat there in his rage and Eos who seemed downright irate that his younger brother had succeeded in getting an omega pregnant before him, not caring in the least when Unity brought up the fact that Eos had sired many children before actually arriving at the center. To Diesel the whole entire thing was nothing but one big bother, and with as many alphas and omegas forced in one place as there was, he was counting down the days until things started to blow up.
Like the guards who kept casting weird looks over at the catboy alpha and seemed to know everyone's daily schedules by heart. He hadn't seen much of the other guard which was unfortunate; it wouldn't be right to say the quiet guard, Ranger, was nice only that he minded his own business and tended to leave everyone alone.
At the thought of leaving people alone, he was reminded of his own omega; almost feeling the brunette's heated gaze on the back of his head as he tried to focus his attention on his tweaked cousin. He knew the omega wasn't pleased with the fact that Diesel hadn't gotten him pregnant yet, but the alpha was uncomfortable with the idea of getting the omega pregnant just to have him walk out just as quickly as they were forced together. It didn't feel right to him, so he'd been doing his best to prevent conception from happening; even if that meant borrowing a little black magic from his cousin.
Not that Leon cared about anything right now; the scent of his omega almost at his heat was driving the dark haired alpha crazy and the fact that his omega and him had some bogus deal and he couldn't do anything...well let's just say Leon was sure to take his frustrations out on the other alphas. Diesel could only hope that creepy unicorn alpha didn't get tired of Leon's aggravations first.
