Office MATES

[shiro08]

(I'm also always excited to read your replies, gets me really thinking what I should do next and persevere the same. Let's both do our best for this rp! :D )

(P.S. It's really okay that you forget those little details. It had been quite the long hiatus after all  )

"It's nice of the Madame to do that, but are you sure your father won't be disappointed by your absence?" Elliot said, though relief was evident on him. Even if only today, he can have Alex to himself; and that makes him feel comforted that he doesn't have to suffer the pregnancy pains alone. He put his hands on top of the larger ones then turned to give Alex a kiss. "The Madame seems like a good person, doesn't she?"

Elliot already feels pampered by the tease being given to him by his love. However just being out of his pseudo-heat, combined with his heightened hormones, made him a bit more sensitive. It made him blush as he found himself struggling to keep moans from slipping out. "O-okay... if you insist." But of course he really didn't want anymore argue on that either. He wanted Alex to stay. 

"A-alright. As thank you, I'll be making you delicious breakfast. And sure you can help." Gosh, Alex can really be cute sometimes. Elliot thought with a chuckle as he was helped onto his feet.

Before even moving and despite the back pain, Elliot was confident he could stand on his own. He after all had been doing it for the past week and repeatedly so with his constant urge to pee. So it caught him by surprise too when his legs suddenly became jelly, and with Alex there to help him at that. In instinct his arm braced to protect his bump while the other desperately clung to Alex. It really was lucky that he didn't try getting up on his own.

"Y-yeah... lucky." Elliot felt a little scared by that but didn't want to think of it too much. The last thing they need is to have him stressed over something trivial. "Um, maybe I should sit for a while more, love. My legs probably haven't woken from their sleep yet." He tried to sound optimistic to not worry Alex. He noticed the sweat that broke from his mate and knew he got him worried again. 

"I'm fine, Alex. Though I hope you're not that hungry yet. Breakfast might take a while. Sorry." after sitting for 10 mins breathing and getting much strength as he could, Elliot decided that maybe they could give it another try. Well it was also his way of affirming that nothing's really wrong with him. He held his arms towards Alex again.

"How about we try again?" This time he was really hoping they will succeed.

[bhdire8]

(haha lol sry i'm known for my goldfish memory... please don't delay in correcting me - i'd be more than happy to change my reply so that we could keep things consistent!)

"My mother treats you even better than myself... and Elliot... you no longer have to call her Madame.... you are her son-in-law soon, the 'mother' of her granchildren. You can also call her mom if you want.." Alex smiled, noticing the relief that was written all over Elliot's face upon hearing he would be staying for the day.

the blush always made Elliot's complexion even healthier, and all hte more prettier in Alex's eyes. He enjoyed teasing his fiance, and it was with much proud that he learnt of his ability to inflict that beautiful blush...

it all happened so fast and Alex had barely reacted to it, just instinctively catching Elliot on his fall. He was worried, surely, for the fatigue Elliot was experiencing apparently was more than just "pain in the back" as he claimed. "Sure, don't worry about breakfast... andstop apologizing, babe. the little ones have grown so much.... so fast. You'd need to adjust every day now.." he smiled, also not wanting to make a big fuss out of this. Though when they rested, Alex spontaneously started rubbing Elliot's legs so that the circulation could be improved.

Once ELliot had enough rest, Alex was there to help Elliot get up again. He heaved him up, his biceps bulging, and this time he didn't release his grip on Elliot's waist even as the omega had managed to stand up. "Good job momma." he smiled kissing Elliot praising him, but instead of leading him towad the bathroom. "I know it's time for your bathroom break... don't be embarrassed to admit that." Alex smiled. Maybe he wasn't always there to help Elliot move to the toilet, but it didn't mean he wasnt' aware of his mate's needs now.

By this time, Elliot had to sit down to empty his bladder. His belly was too big for him to do it otherwise. Usually Alex would let him have his space, but this time he came right back in to escort Elliot out of the btahroom - just in case.

With both of them freshened up, they proceeded to make breakfast - and this time, Alex was really hungry and his stomach protested. "I guess we might want something first... let's see if we have any fresh fruit." he chuckled rubbing his stomach, then went on to open the fridge, spotting osme berries, he popped a handful in his mouth and fed Elliot some as well - breakfast could be awhile, might as well snack a little first.

[shiro08]

(Hahaha. I understand, and will do my best keeping you up with the details you might have forgotten. Let's do our best! :D )

The attempt to stand was successful this time, and the relief was very obvious on Elliot who can't help send a shaky victory smile to Alex. "Now let's make us breakfast, Papa. And stop with the 'momma'. I'm d-daddy remember." He shyly remarked as he pouted, blush on his cheeks. Alex must really like teasing him like this and he can't do anything about it because who was he kidding, he loves his mate's tease.

He was already thinking of what to cook when he was left confused by Alex rerouting him to head towards the bathroom. His bladder felt fine... "Ow..." Maybe he spoke to soon. "Okay, I a-admit. I didn't think you'd know that." Baby boy no.1 was always kicking his bladder around this time and kind of became his alarm. Elliot wasn't expecting Alex though to notice it. It made him feel warm that Alex still had the time to notice this little routine when he is rushing to go to work.

Alex didn't fail to make Elliot more at awe when he was escorted even when after using the toilet, even if it was a bit embarrassing. Usually he'd just grip tightly on the nearby sink to heave himself up. After that, they continued on to the kitchen. Just as Alex was supporting his weight, Elliot held tightly to his alpha's supporting hands. 

At the kitchen, Elliot went to grab the ingredients needing to be cut and sat on his special little stool he uses when cooking, since he can't stand for very long. He saw Alex searching for food and the sight made him laugh."Snacks sounds great!" He was also starting to get a little hungry so he gladly ate the berries fed to him while continuing to cut vegetables. "If you're good then maybe help me handle the meat?" 

Their doorbell suddenly rang as they were making breakfast. "Can you get that, love? It must've been the... b-baby clothes I've ordered online." Elliot was shy when he said it, not knowing how his alpha might react with him already buying some baby stuff. "I'll just put these in the n-nursery."

Actually, it wasn't much of a nursery yet. It's just an empty room with a single drawer where he plans to keep the babies' clothes. It had also been empty until today that he could finally put something in it. Elliot was happy as he looked and folded the clothes one by one. It was only one set each for the triplets so it wasn't much but it was all he could do with online shopping. He sighed as a hand unconsciously rubbed his belly.

Well time to go back to cooking breakfast. "Sorry it took a while... Um, have you told the Mada- I mean m-mom that I'm okay. She might be worried." Elliot tried to give some topic hoping Alex will not notice his insecurities.

[bhdire8]

(yep please remind me xDDD n what do you want to happen next? i mean a shopping trip could be lovely. a discussion of birth plans? have we given Elliot a proper prenatal massage yet? ;))

"hmm.... ok. daddy~" Alex chuckled at the omega defencing himself, even though the blush and the pout was making him appear way less serious than he perhaps hoped to be. He would be sure to reserve "mommy" for them in their bedroom... and he knew whenever he called Elliot that, the smaller man would always blush so beautifully that made him love using that term even more.

Depsite him knowing Elliot's morning routine, this was really the first time he helped Elliot heave himself up from the toilet and... he was beginning tot hink if there should be a handle added beside. Or... he would have to stay home more frequently - it would soon become completely impossible for Elliot to do that all by himself...

Elliot took the berries from his hand - the alpha was finding it so cute he followed it up with a kiss on his lips. "yep, i'd ... oh, right, i'd go get the door." he said hearing the doorbell, giving Elliot a long look before heaidng off once he heard that was baby clothes...

Right, it was this time already. He should be more hands-on wiht hte preparation now that they were counting down.... hmm, might be a good idea raising that with his mother- she'd be so supportive. Could even make her pressure his father into giving him an early start on paternity leave. Afterall, Elliot was carrying 3 babies, it'd make sense he need 3 times as long a paternity leave right?

The box arrived and Elliot hurried to put those away, as if he was embarrassed by Alex seeing them. ... but then, why would Elliot find it embarrassing? again Alex reflected onto himself and realised he might have to figure out a few misconceptions of the omega... hmm, as a first step, maybe he could head out to shop baby clothes with him. that should change his concept and hsow him alphas could also be interested in these things.

"Hmm? well, i couldn't lie ot my mom... so are you indeed fine...?" Alex was frying some eggs and he pulled Elliot closer to himself, taking his waist and squeezed his back. Elliot whimpered in this cute way and he knew he was still achy. "Hmm.... i'll tell her you're alright, but tired. You need my full attention so it's justifiable for me to stay home more often. ELliot..." he said lifting Elliot's chin up to press a kiss on his soft lips. "Sorry that i didn't have that much time to stay home with you. I'd try to work on that... " he said gazing deep into Elliot's eyes.

[shiro08]

(yep, let's do baby shopping next!we decided on a home birth but Elliot will be giving birth early so it will get them quite in the rush when he suddenly does. About the the prenatal massage, no? hahaha I don't know what that is so I'm not sure if that happened already ?)

"O-of course I'm fine...why wouldn't I be?" Elliot wanted to be fine, but he knew he really wasn't. He still had a lot to prepare but he can't do anything about it because of how big and achy he'd gotten. And Alex was busy with work. Elliot whimpered quietly when the sudden hug brought pressure to his aching back and belly. He bit his lip.

"I...I don't really want to be a bother." But then Alex had to give him a kiss and gaze so lovingly. It was shaking his resolve. "It's okay, love. I understand. And I know you'll do something about it. You always do." Elliot forced a smile. He got to thinking again about the unfinished nursery, then to Alex gazing at him in front.

He looked down at his almost due belly, caressing the tiny feet that would poke out of it. He was contemplating if Alex will agree or he's just being ridiculous. "Alex, love. Let's s-shop for the babies?" Elliot started shyly. "I couldn't do it alone so maybe you could - but only if it's okay with you. I know Alphas aren't usually interested..."

Elliot didn't want to meet any awkwardness that may come after, and luckily there were the eggs that were cooking to shift the conversation to. "Ah, we're hungry. Are the eggs almost done? I better get back to cutting too." The pregnant man slowly parted himself from the alpha's embrace to focus on the vegetables again.

[bhdire8]

(yay :) ohhh yes now i remember, Elliot would hv his contractions starting while they were outside right? and Alex had to speed their way home so that they could get to their supplies? is it we have agreed they'd be coming straight from Alex's parents' house?

hmmm then how about a full day of pampering for Elliot. The massage was designed for pregnant omega/ladies, to relief the idsocmfort associated with pregnancy including pain in hip and pelvis, swollen ankles and improve circulation in general, relieving the muscle sores with proper massaging? they could head off to somewhere. a short stay at a local hotel where they could also do a little swim together maybe, would be good for Elliot :))

Alex's heart melted at how Elliot was attempting to be strong, with the clear intention of not burdening him.... but this wasn't burden at all. He wanted to tell Elliot that he was never a burden,a nd he had taken great pleasure in taking care of this lovely little omega who used to be his supervisor. he love him so dearly, he didn't want Elliot to feel like he had to pretend in front of him.

"Elliot..." he cupped his cheeks and sighed when Elliot finally admitted his insecurity in this.

Watching his mate stroking his 8-month belly was always lovely, but this time he tcouldn' help but notice there was signs of tension in the omega's body. elliot was thinking about something , still indecisive, but Alex was patient and he would wait until he could form his words, not twatnign o urge him. Upon hearing elliot's timid question, all Alex wanted to do was scream his agreement with that proposal. he wanted to tell him immediately he was too ready for that.. .but he paused and Elliot quickly moved his attention to the breakfast they were preparing.

In his mind, all Alex wanted to say was "of course babe!" And not just the shopping...he want to get involved with everything they could do to prepare for the little ones. he knew now that he had not spetn enough time with the omega and Elliot had assumed he was one of those stereotyped alpha who didn't want to be involved with that. The alpha sighed, finally realising the extent of 'damage' that was done with his busy schedule... he was always absent and he could hardly blame the omega for arriving at such a stereotyped conclusion.

The reason he wasn't agreeing immediately, however, was because he'd made the decision to start his paternity leave immediately. that woul rquire him to formally announce to the company and also to let his dad know of the decision. It would take some time to pass what business he was handling back to his father, but if it went smoothly... well, he would be free strating from this afternoon.

Coming up from behind, Alex held Elliot gently and cupped his belly. "I will be glad to shop with you... how about we do that tomorrow? i think with a night of rest you would be more ready to do a bit of walking. what do you say?" He said nibbling Elliot's ear.

[shiro08]

(You remembered! :) Though we haven't really put in final if it will be from Alex's parents' house. For the massage thing, I'm up for it. I'm excited that we could finally get that swim scene of a very pregnant Elliot with a protective Alex assisting him :D Lead the transition to it?)

(Also, I'm sorry I'm only replying now. Family's been on vacation abroad and the schedule was hectic. Sorry. )

Elliot readied himself for rejection as he went to cut vegetables again. The sound of chopping stopped and his breath hitched. Alex was cradling their babies from behind him, and Elliot heard him say that he'll shop with him... Alex, his alpha, will shop with him... for cute,baby things. Did he hear right?

He turned to face Alex smiling at him, who he could only meet with wide eyes. "A-are you sure? I can find s-someone else and..." Elliot tried to persuade his alpha but Alex looked very sure in his resolve. He'd stopped worrying and finally let a small smile show. He lunged forward to give Alex a tight hug, minding his bump of course. His smile widened as he was embraced back, affirming that this really was happening. "Thank you, thank you, thank you..." Elliot repeated before leaning to peck the alpha on the cheek.

"Yeah, tomorrow is fine. More than fine. I promise I'll rest up plenty too so we'll have no problem." Elliot was beaming. It was very obvious how excited the Omega is. Then they could hear grumbling sound of a hungry stomach, more like hungry babies. Elliot blushed. "Do we have m-more b-berries?"

Soon proper breakfast was served. They began to eat, but after only a plateful of food, Elliot was finished; whereas normally he would eat about 3 or more plates worth. It's not that he had his fill. His belly was beginning to ache with how full it became with 3 big babies and the added small meal. There's little space left in him so he can't really eat much in one go. He became used to the new eating habit when it started a week ago, but he can't remember if he had told Alex.

Elliot leaned back on his chair and subtly began rubbing his aching belly as he waited for Alex to finish. He's still a bit hungry but he'll just have to wait until later after the ache is gone. "Is it good? Did I cut the vegetables too small?" His hand shifted to his lower belly where it was aching the most and had to open his legs wider to have more more comfort. " I definitely enjoyed cooking with you" Still, Elliot was smiling, truly happy to just have Alex spend the whole day with him.

[bhdire8]

(hmm, how about I let you decide how Elliot would be dressed? say they do have swimshorts... tugged right under his big bump. You think he'd be so shy he wanted to cover up with a big t shirt on top? haha it'd be my pleasure ot lead ;))
(and no problem! i understand~ whenever you have time, we could continue on this!)

"Uhuh, who do you think you're finding to shop for OUR bbabies?" he teased, acitng all possessive and jealous. "I'm 100% sure... " just wait for me babe, he added in his heart. There would be some great surprise for this afternoon, and he might need to plunge back into work in their home office right after breakfast, but that would be the last time he'd be as immersed in work. Afterwards, he was all Elliot's. "your welcome.... " Alex smiled and held Elliot's waist securely as he tiptoed to kiss him, himself cooeprating by leaning down so it would be eiaser for the small omega to do that.

THe grumbling stomach had the alpha chuckling , and as his mate requested, he fed him more berries and grinned seeing Elliot munching like a hamster while preparing breakfast. He didn't expect Elliot to put down his fork so soon as they started on their first meal. "Elliot?" he asked, again clueless on the new symptom that Elliot was experiencing. He waved his fork in the air and nodded. "yea, it's good... nope. You did a great job~ this is an amazing start to a great day.... hm, or a morning after." he chuckled and wasn't too surrpised to see Elliot again blushed. He saw Elliot shifted on his chair, but from his looks he could not see any discomfort.

"Elliot... you are done?" he finally asked. The plate was empty, but there was plenty of food left and he thought he was definitely going ot get a refill with his usual appettite. He frowned as he finished his own serve and went on to clear the table. "Are you not feeling well afterall?" he said coming to Elliot's side and touched his forehead, feeling his temperature. It felt normal... then as he looked down, he could see the bump that was jutting out so much now. He added his hand onto Elliot's caressing his bump and frowned. "are you not feeling well in your stomach?" he asked, helping Elliot get up. With the omega standing up, his big bump dropped a little and there was an audible sigh of relief from Elliot.

[shiro08]

(Alright! Definitely keeping those tight swim shorts; we'll see if he'll have a top or not ;) And as always, thank you for bearing with me! :D )

The ache was still there but listening to Alex converse with him was making a good distraction from it. It was mostly uncomfortable more than painful so Elliot can still bear to respond to Alex with smiles and blushes. He'd just need to keep a hand to sooth his belly and their babies. "I-I'm glad you liked it. Good breakfast to start a... g-great day." He only said but definitely agreeing it was also a good morning after.

Elliot was relishing in the moment of breakfast with his love when the question was asked. "Ah, yes. I'm full already." Elliot settled for that since it was also the truth, though omitting some important details. He did it to save Alex the worry but of course nothing can get pass his observant mate. "I feel fine, Alex. I'm not sick, don't worry. Just..." He guided Alex's hand to the spot where it was hurting the most and pressed the alpha's hand there. He sighed; that felt good. "Yeah, my belly's aching from being full. I now can't eat too much in one go or else I become like this." He chuckled sheepishly and continued to explain as he was helped up.

Standing up gave his belly more space and made him feel less cramped. Though his legs still need to accommodate the hanging huge bump and that had him gripping on to Alex's support. He gave Alex a smile when he saw the alpha continue to frown. "I'm really fine. This is normal since there's not enough space anymore in here." He rubbed his belly for emphasis. "Our babies must be cramped inside." He chuckled again.

Elliot asked if they could snuggle until the ache gets better. Maybe he'll get Alex to rub his belly for him. Elliot blushed at the thought. But before they could reach the living room, Alex's phone started to ring from their room. Alex was ignoring it until he was sat and settled on the couch but the phone kept ringing. "Alex, aren't you gonna answer?" Elliot already had the hunch it was from work but surely Alex wasn't going back on his word, right? He said he'll take a day off.

[bhdire8]

(Aww not at all, i know the wait will bring me a great quality reply~ and I am respecting that fact that you have a life outside rp ;P)

The stuttering was lovely and that was what prompted Alex to come and give Elliot a loving kiss. His frown didnt go away, however, when he felt and heard Elliot telling him about his aching belly. He grittrd his teeh realising again, he was missing on important discomfort that his mate had been suffering while he wasnt here. It also strengthened his belief that his patenrity leave needed to start RIGHT NOW. "Oh babe...." he sighed heaving Elliot up, taking his arm and steadied him while he wobbled on his feet, not entirely adjusted to his off balance now.

He rubbed his bump, scooping it from the bottom of it and helped settled Elliot on the couch first before the ringing started. In his heart, he sighed deeply, but insisted on settling Elliot first. "Babe.... im sorry but I need to take that call. And although I wont be heading in to the office, I would have to spend a bit more time in the study to clear up some stuff. I'm really sorry babe... I promise the moment I am done, I will be out here accompanying you ok?" He apologized, kissing Elliot on his cheek but there was no mistaking kf the disappointment apparent on Elliot's face - which made him even guiltier.

But then this was essential. From tomorrow onwards he would be all Elliot's... leaving Elliot alone on the couch, with an aching and too full belly, it was a sin in itself, but the phone was again ringing and Alex knew he had to get it...

(LOL and somehow I am still not progressing them HAHA i will get them to there.... in the afternoon Alex would be done and then they could head off to grab some fancy dinner. Walk around a little to help Elliot digest, then some belly rubs? ;P)

[shiro08]

(Thank you! :D I don't mind them not progressing quickly. I like how they could get domestic with the pregnancy. Take your time~ :) )

He already expected that Alex will be occupied by work again, but still he clung to that little hope that he'll get his snuggle and have Alex by his side rubbing his sore belly for him. "It's okay. I know you must be very busy. Just...Don't tire yourself, 'kay? We'll be waiting for Papa." Elliot wanted to complain but he trailed it off since he knew he really shouldn't. He should be grateful enough that at least Alex was with him, only separated by a door. He was disappointed for sure, and it was obvious even as he gave a smile and a kiss to send Alex off.

Once Alex was in his study room, Elliot sighed and slumped back on the couch. His belly was still aching so he focused to work on relieving the ache first. Even if by himself. "It's okay. You've done this plenty on your own." He told himself before lifting his shirt and exposing his huge belly. "Look at you three. You've grown up so big..." Elliot would talk to the babies as he rubbed his belly. It was relaxing for him, also to the babies to not be alarmed by the pressure he puts in his rubs. He'd wince and get out of breath if one of them kicks and adds further pain but still he'd continue his sweet talks. "Not too hard,my angels. Daddy's hurting, please behave."

When that wasn't enough, Elliot mustered strength to get up and slowly walk laps across the living room. The ache was gone after the 5th lap and Elliot was back to searching some food he could snack on gradually as he planned to do some chores. He'd done the dishes, some laundry, and light sweeping. In between he'd sneak glances to Alex's door hoping his love will come out soon. He remained disappointed each time. Honestly, Elliot was very tempted to just knock and ask when Alex will be done but that wasn't right considering Alex must be very busy.

Elliot was now resting in their room. His back began to hurt and he was also feeling a bit fatigued so he knew he'll be taking a nap soon. Still no sign of Alex. Elliot sighed. He busied himself by browsing through baby catalogues online until he fell asleep, unconsciously letting a tear fall.

(Hahaha. Mostly a filler :) )

[bhdire8]

(aww, thanks for accommodating me ;) i love that as well~ i espeically likes that Elliot wanted to be so good for Alex, that he hid his real demands in tht cute and thoughtful way of his~)

If Alex had known what Elliot had been doing the entire morning in his absence, he would be quite annoyed. Even though all that could be considered normal household chores, Alex being his overprotective self would identify them as too exhausting for Elliot at this stage. However, the alpha was oblivious to all that, staritngt he day with a heated discussion with his father, then a whirlwind of emails between different parties to sort out the arrangement for the coming half a year. There was no more delyaing, he would be starting his paternity leave right then and there....

It was a frenzy of work, having been intensely engaged in his work, Alex didn't feel time pass at all. He forgot hunger and fatigue, taking one phonecall after another, by the time he was aware that it was late, it was because his colleagues had directly told him it was lunchtime and they had to go offline...

Alex stood up and stretched, hearing a few joints popped. At least most part was done, all he need was to tidy up the remaining checklist for his father to take over... that had taken another 2 hours so by the time Alex emerged, with just a conference call away from settling all matters at work, it was approaching 3pm...

He was half expecting Elliot to have started lunch before him, but when he came out, he wasn't smelling anything like food. Looking around, Elliot was also nowhere to be seen. He finally located Elliot in theri bedroom, but he did not enter assuming he was napping peacefully and went on to start lunch first.

To compensate for his long absence, Alex came up with a tray of food, utterly oblivious to what kind of struggle Elliot had experienced int he morning. he placed the tray of food beside the bed, and went on to wake Elliot up for this little surprise - only to be shocked by the trace of tears on his lover's face.

"Elliot... Elliot!" he said, concerned now, and scooped Elliot up from the bed to cradle him on his lap. "Oh babe what's wrong..... did you cry just now?" he asked, waking Elliot from his sleep - and he knew at this most sleepy state, Elliot was likely to tell him teh truth .

[shiro08]

(:D)

Elliot only planned to nap for a few minutes, but the fatigue of doing house chores while heavily pregnant, plus crying a little,must have really tired him out. He didn't really mean to sleep past lunch, planning even to cook their meal. It had been a dreamless sleep so far until he could hear the voice of Alex calling him.

Elliot grunted as he was jostled awake by his love. Though still being so sleepy, Elliot remained half asleep. He felt like he was only dreaming. He smiled coming to see the face of his mate so close. Another tear let slip. At least in his dreams he can be with Alex. "I just missed you... so much." He then snuggled his face closer to Alex's chest. "Papa promised to be with us, but he went work again... makes us upset." There was a pout, and it might have been cute if Alex can't feel his shirt get wetter.

The babies were awake and was making a ruckus inside him like they usually do. His eyebrows knitted and he let a groan; his hands going to cradle his belly. Elliot had shifted in Alex's hold until he could find a comfortable position. By this time, he was close to falling asleep again. "You've become so busy that I can't bother you." Elliot turned his face so he was now gazing at Alex with his tearful eyes. "Did you know that sometimes I get no sleep because of them moving a lot? Did you know how much my feet have swelled and how easy they hurt when I walk? Did you know that there are times my back will hurt too much that I could cry?" Elliot chuckled dryly, reaching up to wipe some tears that had slip from Alex. "You don't because I do not have the heart to tell you when you're already working so hard for us. I just want to make you happy, give you your family...I don't want to be a burden...(yawn)" Elliot's eyes fluttered shut again as the hand on Alex's face slowly dropped. Even as he slept, Elliot was unconsciously shedding a new batch of tears

. Of course, when he wakes up again, he'll have no recollection of what happened, of all he just said, and the reason why he was crying; contributing it all to being just a dream.

[bhdire8]

(hey i'm so sorry I have went for a trip and then it's been a mess on my times and biological clock - jetlagging is a bitch.... please forgive me!)



Alex's heart broke into a million pieces seeing the sad smile that was accompanied by the single tear drop falling from his beloved' brilliant eyes. He was still sleepy, he could see that... He was questioning himself now, for how incompetnet he was RIGHT after he vowed to not disappoint Elliot again.



He had to look up at the ceiling to force back his tears. THis was heartbreaking... Elliot was snuggling so close to him and the words that he uttered were little daggers stabbing on his heart. He was right there, yet his mate was missing him so much he was crying. He had been absent, what he did was merely physically existing under the same roof, yet he had been so distant from his mate Elliot was so insecured.



He stroked Elliot's back and attempted to wake him from his half-sleep, wanting him to break away from this melancholy, but he found his throat restricted with this big lump, and all that came out was weak whimpers, his sense of being a faliure intensified feeling his shirt wetted from Elliot's tears.



He could no longer control his own tears. Feeling Elliot's hand wiping them away, he couldn't believe how kind-hearted his mate had been. His mate had been so good at hiding his own suffering, he was entirely clueless - or maybe not completly in the dark, he just didn't know how under his tough pretense, Elliot had been crying so much. The omega had been bearing this heavy burden on his back, alone, on this difficult road in pregnancy, and as alpha he was a miserable failure for not being there earlier, breaking his promise time and again because of work... DAMNED work!



He could no little other than rubbing along Elliot's back, luring him back asleep. THe lunch that he'd made had gone cold and become not edible. His phone buzzed and he clenched his eyes shut tight knowing the conference call was aobut to begin. There were so many attachments, obligations, things that had prevented him from being there with what OUGHT to be his first priority. With a heavy heart, he put Elliot back down to his slumber. This itme he would not break his promise. After this one last conference, he would break away from the company for the entire 6 months ahead.



He tiptoed bcak out, forgetting the tray of food, and finished the meeting in record time, wanting to get back to Elliot before he got woken up from hunger.



(i'm open from this point on, Elliot could wake up and act like nothing was wrong, or he could still be asleep and Alex would serve him afternoon tea/dinner on bed ;))

[shiro08]

(hahaha, it's alright :D ! I hope you've enjoyed the trip and have now rested enough! :) )

(I'll let Elliot sleep in and will wake him up about a few minutes before the meeting ends :) )

It was a little bit later after Alex left when Elliot started to finally wake from his 'nap', albeit unwillingly. His body felt so relaxed like a weight lifted from his heart, plus he had Alex in his dreams too. It was such a good sleep, annoyingly disturbed by the need to pee. "Okay, I'm up. (Yawn) Daddy's up, stop pressing on my bladder." Elliot was biting his lip as he tried his best to hurriedly get up and waddle to the toilet. He made it, but he knew he had wet his underwear a little. Elliot just sighed, now used to this being common with the babies toying with his bladder.

The incident had reminded him of earlier whent he went pee with Alex guiding him. Maybe it could have been easier if Alex was with him. And as Elliot began the task of getting himself up, he thought, "I really wish Alex can help me again." It took a lot of effort from him but he was up and headed back to bed. Now fully awake, he could now see how late he'd woken up and was to rush to make lunch when he saw a tray of food beside his bed. It was definitely Alex's doing, and the thought made him smile. Just then his belly grumbled. "I know, now let's go eat what papa made us."

The food was being heated, and at time being Elliot was munching on a bowl of berries. Out of nowhere he could feel a Braxton cramping his belly. It was more bearable now he was used to it. But the surprise caused him to steady himself on the table and had knocked down the bowl in the process. "I'm f-fine, it was nothing!" Elliot shouted after the bowl sounded a loud clang that may get Alex into a worry over something not worth being worried about.

His free hand was focused on rubbing his belly while the other was turning white on the grip he had on the table. After allowing himself a few moments to breath, when he was sure his belly was more settled, Elliot slowly lowered himself to the floor to begin picking up the berries. A hand remained on his lower belly to support the babies. It was okay since the food still had a few minutes to cook. A thought came to him. Did Alex already eat? If not then maybe he can make something for him after this.

(ohhhhi hope you won't mind me working on that wet underwear a little more ;P i'm thinking he'd found him wearing the wet underwear and helped him change it? maybe mildly telling him off for risking infection? ;P)

(haha and thanks! yep now well rested and i'm feeling good to dedicate myself whole heartedly into this!!)

Alex had just went offline, declaring his intention to be fully withdrawn from the company. It brought a shocked silence in the room, when everybody was left speechless by his decision - but none of them dared criticize him even though a lot of them might not agree with him. He just finished the call by stating frankly.

"If any one of you had experienced a high-risk pregnancy with your mates, and to have went for at least 3 hospitals stays.... feel free to tell me how you coped with it. I do not feel that my absence was forgiveable after just now msseeing my mate cried in his sleep, becuase he dared not tell me how much he needed me while he was awake. For that alone, i asked for your understanding. Thanks a lot everyone." he said, pullling away the headphone - when that loud clash of the bowl came from the outisde.

He quickly shoot up to his feet. It was a scary sound and that also meant he had failed - he did not manage to finish the meeting before Elliot woke up. Hurrying out, his heart almost skipped a beat when he saw Elliot doubled over clutching his bump - he knew he could no longer accept the situation as Elliot told him, his mate was far too good at hiding himself.

"Wait!" he shouted when he saw Elliot recovered, but to his shock he was starting to lower himself, despite the heavy belly, to clean up the floor. "Stop it Elliot!" he rushed towards his side but Elliot was already kneeling on the floor, his massive belly forbidding him from bending over, and in that awkwad position he was beginning to pick up the berries.

"Babe stop right there...." he said, coming to his side, he lifted Elliot up entirely to put him to sit on the kitchen island. he sighed, trapping Elliot between his arms as he leaned forward to face him. "I'm so sorry elliot... I didnt'n know. I ... there was no excuse for me. But i swear, this time... this time it's it. I have just tied up all loose ends, now I'm wholly yours. From this minute onwards, i'm entirely yours...." he sighed and pulled Elliot into a tight embrace, closing his eyes feeling the soft body of Elliot's.

(Go ahead! I remember you having a thing for holding in pee? It's alright for me so just enjoy yourself (as long as it wouldn't be too kinky or sexual ) And I'm glad to hear your well! I'm still in summer break so I'd also have a lot of time to dedicate into this :D )

The whole house had been quiet for a while so when Alex came calling out to him, Elliot was definitely startled. He wobbled from the awkward position he was already in and good thing Alex was quick to save him from toppling to the side. The force of the voice was because the alpha was concerned, but Elliot, with his timid nature, thought it was Alex getting angry for catching him doing something reckless again. "I'm sorry..."

When he was carried and made to sit on the island with Alex staring at him in such a serious gaze, Elliot thought he was getting another lecture on how he shouldn't push himself. He felt like crying, damn hormones. But the lecture didn't come. Elliot really wasn't expecting Alex to say sorry, and it showed in his eyes his confusion as he stare back into Alex. He didn't recall the confession he made so this was a surprise for him. Nonetheless this was good news that he had been waiting for. Elliot smiled and pulled Alex by the neck to kiss him. "I don't know what it was but I forgive you. And you better not break that promise, not again, okay? We really need papa right now."

They hugged, and in their hug, they could both feel the triplets kicking between them. "Looks like they're happy too." They stayed like that until the microwave dinged. Elliot was the first to break and ask Alex to help him down so he can get his food. Unknown to him, he forgot to change underwear and when he sat , a wet spot had formed on his behind. Maybe the island he got off from also had a wetness to it that Alex would definitely notice. "Th-this is the lunch you made me, thank you." Elliot radiated happiness and excitement from what Alex said, oblivious that he really should be embarrassed by now instead.

(I'd insert how Alex discovered the wet underwear but if you'd want it in other ways then I could change that. I know you'd like to play this so I'll let you decide on how it goes. I'll play along ;) )

[bhdire8]

(oh my god ahahha i'm almost embarrassed that you remembered this little quirk of mine ;') but yep whenever this gets too weird for you, just let me know and I could reel myself back in!! awww and how long is your summer break gonna last?? good old times~ and it's a well deserved break for what you've achieved!)

Alex's heart ached even more when the omega was suddenly apologizing again - this little creature was just too soft and timid to be real. he could see his eyes began to rim red and saw the tears welled up.... all he could offer Elliot was a bone-crushing hug - with a good distance from waist down so he wouldn't press into thier babies...

Alex sighed in great relief hearing the easy forgiveness Elliot gave him. His mate was too good for himself, and he felt like this was too easy. His apology was nothing compared with what Elliot had accidentally confessed to him - which he also appeared to have forgotten the episode. Let it be, then. Let that stay as a dream.... he had learnt his lesson, and he swore he would never make Elliot as sad, that he would cry in his dreams.

The sound from the microwave startled Alex, and he looked at it curiously. Upon finding it being the food that was left by him, he knitted his brows tight. It wasn't what he intended Elliot to be eating. "Wait babe that's what I made? it's been there for too long, why dno't we make something else...." he said, but Elliot had beaten him to reach the microwave, going ahead to pick the food out - and when Alex's gaze trailed down his waddling form, he saw...

"Elliot. What's that?" he asked, glancing at the island figuring that he must have sat on a wet spot - perhaps that bowl of berries was wet and it stained the table. Elliot was still wearing the dress and he was bending over to pick the food out of the microwave. The dress rid up the back of his thighs and his bottom was exposed - there was a distinctive wet patch on the front part of his underwear and Alex frowned.

"Elliot....?" he said, coming closer to check on him. "did you....hmm. were you... did you just head to the toilet?" he asked, not really sure how to phrase it without making it too awkward for the omega.

(aww it's quite perfect the way you started!! i hope i didn't weirded you out with what i inserted ;))

[shiro08]

(hahaha, yeah but it's alright since I have a quirk of my own ;) Noted, thank you for being so considerate! I have more than a month left of break so still plenty of time left to enjoy :D )

Elliot was still oblivious of the wet patch, so he didn't know what Alex was pertaining to. Didn't help that his back was turned so he didn't see what Alex was looking at. So he just hummed, still in his happy bubble, and when he'd taken out the food, straightened himself to see what caught Alex's attention.

However while doing so, he thought he may have an idea what it just might be. A breeze when past below him and it felt cold on his crotch. He forgot, and now he stood Frozen in embarrassment as Alex's question confirmed that his love definitely noticed it. "I... um...um... sorry. I-I had an a-accident." His voice had become small and shaky, his face and ears were red and he can't look at the alpha in the eyes. Alex was considerate to not confront him so bluntly but it was still so embarrassing! Both of his hands were scrambling to cover the now obvious wet spot, though it was difficult with his huge belly in the way.

"I'm sorry, I'm such a slob...uh... I'll go change. " Elliot was heading to their room when Alex stopped him. In his embarrassment and nervousness on how Alex will react, Elliot had unwillingly wet himself again, this time with enough liquid to soak through and trickle down his legs. It wasn't much but in a dress it was obvious. Elliot eyes widened in fear. The babies hadn't really stopped playing with his bladder. That caused the omega to feel like always needing to pee but he thought he could hold it. "Alex...I-I couldn't hold it...sorry!" Elliot just stood frozen, his hands hid his face as he cried. He knew he was being like a baby and that upset him even more, knowing that just a few months back he was a respected supervisor with a lot of control.

(You're still fine, but maybe I was the one who overdid it a bit If it was too much to what you'd like just tell me and I'll make it more appropriate. I'm actually kind of enjoying this ;) )

[bhdire8]

(Hey sorry the past weekend's sorta packed so didn't find the time to reply ... I'm here now ;))

Alex was still a bit shocked to hear that... and frankly he didn't know how to act so that his mate wouldn't feel humiliated. Elliot was again his clumsy cute self when he attempted to reach over and cover the wet spot,which he failed miserably.

"Ellito it's fine...." Alex's first reaction was to stop Elliot's frantic escape from his side, and as he stopped him holding his elbow, he was even more surprised when he witnessed a new trickle of fluids running down Elliot's now much-filled thighs upon him turning around...

"Shh... Elliot it's ok!" he said frantically, wanting to comfort his mate. "Shh this isnn't just your body now... there are 3 more little ones in there sharing... it's only logical that sometimes you don't have the sole control of your own body." he said as the omega sobbed. "Shh... it's ok." he repeated, pulling Elliot closer and pressed a kiss on his forehead. His fiance was shaking with distress and the alpha stepped up to control the situation. "Let's head over to get changed. Together ok?" he said gently, taking his hand and when Elliot did not respond, stubbornly still burying his face in his hands, he swept him off his leg and carried him towards the bedroom.

Alex held Elliot by his bottom, and there was no mistaking he was holding onto his bum, where the fluid was quickly soaking through the dress. It was a strange feeling, but Alex wasn't disgusted at all. Somehow this had became a very intimate moment that Alex was happy to be sharing with his love.

He placed him onto the toilet. He knelt beside Elliot and pulled the underwear from Elliot. He cradled his lover in his arms as he getnly massaged the lower bump. "Shhh.... let go babe. Let it all go..." he whispered, again pressing a kiss on Elliot.

(awwwww i love ti so much!!! Elliot's so adorable in this~~ HAHA i hadn't expected thist urn but it's really a very pleasant surprise!! thank you for giving me that~~~)
