C The Priest & The Shepherd (w/Bhdire8)

[Lovebite]

The omega turned towards the small alpha when he heard his name and sighed as he laid there, nodding lightly and watching as he grabbed a cup and filled it. Morrison was almost relieved to have Jamie by his side, though of course he would never say it and of course he would be happy to have any one else besides himself to help him. It was better than being alone.

The man sat up and leaned against the wall and pillows as he grasped the glass weakly, lifting it up to take a deep drink of it. Gulping down the water, he relaxed and sighed as he swallowed,"Thanks." He murmured, holding the glass on his belly for a few moments after, one hand moving to where his stitches felt tighter than usually. Guessing that was a good thing since wounds usually healed tightly, he breathed in and out slowly as he laid there,"When will you let me go?" He asked the other after a few moments, looking at him.

[bhdire8]

All color drained from Jamie's face hearing that question. it was a huge pang to his heart, but the preist still managed to squeeze out a smile. "... a-as soon as y-you're fine. i think this could take you another month to fully heal, and by that time you would be even more..." he paused, his voice broken and he had to take a huge breaht in to continue. "if you don't want anyone else to know about the existence of the baby, you can always stay until she's born... and you can leave when you recovered enough." it took considerable courage for Jamie to say that. to any alpha, letting their omega go was very difficult, it was even more so for Jamie who'd secretly considered Morrison to be his lifetime partner by now.

The priest took another staggered breath to force his tears back in, and stood up slowly. "do you want to eat anything? chicken soup? something more solid?" he asked clearing away the mess from last nght, the towels and water. bandages and everything. He dared not look at Morrison again, or he would hae discovered he was crying.

[Lovebite]

He watched him and turned his head away, done with the water, he nodded at the timeframe and was half excited to see his sister and half scared at what her reaction would be. The man nodded again, not wanting the other to finish his sentence anyway, they both knew about the pregnancy and speaking aloud about it only seemed to solidifying it. Which Morrison would truly hate to do, he frowned when he said that and closed his eyes, silent as he simply laid there with his head on the pillow. Not responding to the other for a long moment.

"Anything is fine." He turned over then onto his good side and sighed as he burrowed beneath the sheets, relaxing there.

[bhdire8]

Jamie sighed at the disinterest Morrison was showing to food. He silently moved away to get their breakfast done, with a series of pops resonating the room as the young priest was stiff from spending the night in an awkward position. he blushed at the embarrassment he was causing himself and scurried away mutteirng something incoherent and fled.

He would reutrn with some ready made soup. "I've just bumped into Mrs Cooper, she had made extra soup and brought it to us." he said although to the good lady, she probably had no idea that Morrison even existed. "Here." Jamie carefully poured the soup into a bowl for Morrison to take.

(we have done that scene with Morrison protecting Jamie from teh thugs, did we?)

[Lovebite]

((No. Are you talking about them coming back to finish the job?))

"You say that as if I know who she is." Morrison replied, his head resting on his hand as he laid there in bed with his other hand resting lightly on the bandages on his side. He turned to the other when he smelled the soup from across the room, his hunger coming as a throbbing pain in his stomach. The omega eagerly sat up for that bowl Jamie handed over to him and took it as ge lifted it, blowing before taking a deep gulp of the thick broth. "I hope you told her thank you. It's good... Really good."

[bhdire8]

(yeayea to have them coming back to finish the job only to have Morrison fighting them off, protecting jamie in the process? nice, we could move onto that then ;))

"if you feel like it, you should get to know her. She's one of the kindest laides in town. She has adopted 5 homeless kids, even though one of them ended up stealing from her before breaking away. She's devastated by it, but still insistedon treating the other kids with a loving heart. She's really a good believer.." Jamie smiled at Morrison's hunger. He figured it must be it since Morrison had been out of it for so long.

The priest sipped on his share, holding the bowl with both hands like a little kid. He sipped and sighed in relief. this broth was nice, warming him up entirely after the night spent without blankets.

(i think that could be when Morrison was fairly recovered, so he could shoot without problem to fend off the "bad" guys?)

[Lovebite]

((Sure. That would probably only make Jamie appreciate him more but Morrison will still want nothing to do with him. It'll be a sort of unrequited love hate relationship.))

"Sure sure. Don't preach at me." He muttered and closed his eyes as he held the bowl close to him, breathing in the good smell end lifting it again to take another big gulp. It was really good, he hummed lightly and moved one hand again to his belly as within it the child squirmed. He grimaced lightly, shifting before stroking it lightly, licking his lips and rubbing as he kept eating. The food apparently calming the child or riling them up either way, he sat back and cupped his middle while eating.

((Sure. Though he'll be pretty pregnant by then. ))

[bhdire8]

(oops that's bad news for Jamie. he's just head over heels in love with Morrison HAHA)

Jamie was careful in taking care of Morrison. He tried to make him comfortable, getting to his needs as much as he could, but there was just no way of getting through to Morrison and the priest was just more defeated everytime he tried to reach out and got banished by teh omega. Under his care, Morrison was recovering, although quite slowly, with the cut that had finally stopped infecting.

Jamie was holding his breath every day. he tried not to annoy Morrison, but it felt like just being there with him was neough to agitate the by now quite heavily pregnant omega. Jamie just hoped Morrison could be a bit calmer, but the building heat from summer and the prolonged bed rest just put him at a bad mood constnatly.

[Lovebite]

Morrison had slowly made his way back upright despite Jamie arguing that he should stay in bed, he waited for him to leave for his services and tried making his way to his feet, wanting to gain his balance back even as the wound was still healing. It closed up slowly but surely and from the sharp pain, it used to give him it dulled into a simple ache he had to deal with every time he moved or turned over in bed so he wouldn't have to face the side that Jamie had decided to claim within his bed. He sighed when he woke up in the morning, realizing where he still was and squinting against the sunlight and had to pry himself away from the alpha who had seemed to cling to him in his sleep, frowning at him. It was hot enough already without having to be spooned, he complained and wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, uncomfortable and sticky, he just wanted to go back home where he had a fan and openable windows. Instead of being stuck within a prison cell of a monastery.

[bhdire8]

jamie had no idea what the omega was doing in his absence. He certainly wouldn't have encouraged it, though perhaps he noticed signs of it, especially with how sweaty Morrison always became when he returned - even with the summer heat, it was unlikely one could sweat ass much simply by lying in bed.

He had his priests' robes on, the white robe making him appearing almost young, more like a choir boy than the priest on the altar, especially with his golden curls. he looked at the crowd and solemnly led the prayer, although in his heart, he added a quick blessing to Morrison and thier child, hoping everything would be smooth from now on. He had made it a habit to add this little phrase in,hoping that god would have listened to him despite him beign such a sinner.

He returned to their room, removed his robes, with food that was offered by the villager today. Morrison didn't quite appreciate his minimalistic cooking, so Jamie had resolved to relying supply from outer sources.

[Lovebite]

"How are you not passed out already?" He was shocked at all the layers Jamie was wearing as he sat up in bed, his hand resting on his belly as the other held one of the few books they had open on his lap. Grunting as he lifted himself up a bit more and turned so his feet came off the bed, he closed the book and set it beside him on the bed,"It's hotter than hell in here and you don't even look like you broke a sweat." While he was just sitting there in bed and he was soaked in sweat, under his arms and at his neck line, especially at the place were his chest and belly met. He sighed and used the book to fan himself as he looked at the other,"Who brung that? What is it?"

[bhdire8]

"it's porridge." Jamie answered, squirming as the mixed scent of Morrison's sweat and pregnancy mixed together to create quite a peculiar smell. He handed over the bowl and seyed his belly and the wet spots on his shirt. "don't compare this with hell, it's disrespectful." He answered, his preist's instinct arising.

"you will get used to it... if you are not, carryign our child." he paused to take a breath. "it's in fact cooler here than outside at the altar with all rhose candles around. When it is safe for you to get off bed, I can bring you around. The village is a nice one, and sometimes i will visit the hill behind. I'ts got lovely view." Jamie smiled sweetly. "there are lovely breeze from the fields. Our baby can really enjoy his time there." he said, then shamefully sighed. "you enjoy your meal. I will get the

[Lovebite]

"Mm... The old lady made this too?" He reached for the bowl and took a hold of the spoon to scoop some of the warm porrage out and blow on it, taking a bite. "My bad." He smirked just a bit and ate some more, he hadn't realized that some of the stains on his chest were milk stains. There wasn't any mirrors here and he had been used to strange feelings, he had never been pregnant before and so he just assumed it was all normal. Nothing hurt, and he guessed that was good enough.

"You think me being pregnant makes me overheated?" He rose a brow at him, distracted from eating for a moment as he looked down at his middle, it was just another reason to hate being pregnant... Well maybe not hate, he would have maybe liked being pregnant if it didn't happen like it did. He looked at Jamie skeptically,"Want me to go out on the town with you? Like a date or something?" He stirred the porrage and took a bite, resting the bowl on his belly and balancing it as he ate the food inside. "Yeah, they'd probably like it more than me." He flinched a little when the priest used 'their' in a sentence, that was still hard on him, looking to him as he headed off.

[bhdire8]

(lol i didn't realise i hit reply too early without finishing that last bit! sorry...)

Jamie nodded. "yea you're not a prisoner, of course we can head out..." he traile doff hearing Morrison mention it being a date - it had not occured to him the invitation could be interpreted in that way, and the priest blushed profusely. The heat in the room seemed to rise fruther for him and he was really thirsty at the moment. The smell that constantly come flowing from Morrison - god, that tiny bit of sweetness in it, the one scent that had Jamie almost moaning to - just kept getting stronger. Jamie had to stand up and get some fresh air. "i..i....i'll just, get something." he stuttered and scurried away., dreading over the fact that he was getting an erection just by sitting next to Morrison...

[Lovebite]

Morrison snorted at that, of course he was a prisoner here, they both had the scars to prove it, he had tried escaping but as he got bigger that grew harder to do. The omega looked at Jamie,"I beg to differ." He replied in a low voice and noticed he was more nervous after he had mentioned it being a date and frowned at the other. Knowing the other was obsessed with him didn't make his blushing flattering, it was more annoying than anything else. He nodded slightly at what he said and sitting back again as he finished up the bowl of porrage he was given. Putting it down on the end table beside him when he was finished and stroking his full belly afterwards, tugging his shirt down. "At least here you'll be loved." He told his bump quietly and pet it gently, his skin was growing more and more exposed as the days went by, his shirt was all too small now and showed off his bump end his slowly growing breasts.

[bhdire8]

Jamie headed out to splash his face with the cold water from the well behind a few times. he had to clear his mind.. and perhaps it's a bad idea to share the room with Morrison anymore. He can feel himself getting more and more affected by his scent - the one that's unique to Morrison, his sweat.. and also that mysterious lace of sweetness. the alpha in him was raging, especially at night, when he was under that influence for awhile. He sighed and flopped down on the ground. this was such a messy realtionship, the young priest was feeling helpelss and really, not able to see a better way out from this.

He strolled lazily back into the church. Then he heard something, he looked around and saw a few sneaky shadows. "Who is there?" he asked, frowning. It's not like the church have anything valuale here, so why's there someone looming over the proximity?

[Lovebite]

It was weird how Jamie left so abruptly, he hadn't even thought that it might have been himself who had ran him off. Morrison rubbed his aching chest and was too ignorant about childbearing to realize that it was the sweet smell of his own milk that made the priest uncomfortable. He pushed himself up to his feet slowly and grimaced as he stood up finally, shaky at first as he went forward with his dirty bowl to the water bucket that they kept in the room. Then stepping towards the window slowly as he wanted to get a bit more fresh air, seeing the blonde priest walking outside and sighing as he watched him come back towards the church. He hated to say that he missed him in the short time he was away, or more like he was starved of contact with Jamie always preaching or leaving him to his own devices. Though he didn't blame him, his hate did come out in different ways against the man who had trapped him there in a pseudo rescued kind of way. He frowned as the other turned around suddenly and his brows came together in confusion, watching him and now the wild bushes that surrounded the church garden.

[bhdire8]

Jamie's senses strengthened, an innate abiliyt of alphas to protect their pregnant mate. He coudl hear and distinguish whistles of the wind and the footstep of men. he walked briskly into the woods and saw a pair of shadows disappearing beyond the short fences around the garden. He tried looking furhter away but couldn't find the men anymore.

Jamie was more than confused at the strange 'visitor', but there was little he could do. He came back to the church, occupying his time anywehre else but in the room, and finally, mustering all the courage he had, he returned into the room expecting a sleeping Morrison, for it was close to midnight.

[Lovebite]

Morrison laid back down when Jamie came inside the church again and he sighed as he picked his book back up to keep reading it. Though that didn't last very long as a few hours into the night, he heard something outside his window and it startled him out of the light sleep he was in. His eyes opening and body turning somewhat to look at the window, a hand resting on his belly and the other pushing himself up, he frowned slightly. Moving to the edge of his bed just as something in the corner of his eye moved and he gasped but his mouth was being covered. He tried fighting against them as they pushed on top of him but being trapped in bed for months wasn't good for muscle growth. That showed as he was easily overpowered by the stranger and his friends came to help hold him down, as he saw who it was, the men who had shot him and put him in this position in the first place. He tried kicking and screaming but it was all muffled and useless.

[bhdire8]

There was not a word exchanged between the guys. hat they didn't expect was for Jamie to return at exactly this time. The small priest came in, aiming at being quiet and sneaky when the door cracked open. He was startled seeing the many men present int eh room and the first instinct was to rush forward and hit on the man who was holding HIS omega. "let go!" He hit on the man's arm with the bible in his hand, and when he was flung to the sides, he returned like a charging lion - or in his case, a charging kitten - to bite on the perpetrator's arm. The man whined and shoved him off. Jamie at this point was lifted up from behind by one of the 'friends', he was kicking aimlessly in midair, trying ot squrim his way out of his hold.
