Chapter Text
Prologue
Jason looked around the room they were in. Magazines with heavily pregnant Omega celebrities sat on the coffee table next to him. Some where women who looked joyful despite being in traditional, Omega clothing. Others were betas displaying their newborn child with a bright eyed Omega or stern Alpha at their side. A rare one even showed a polyamorous couple of Betas with one heavily pregnant Omega man smiling.
The closest one was marketed to teenagers, with a bold letters across it's cover. He recognized it from when he was a kid stealing to survive on the streets. It displayed a laughing teenage mother in maternity clothing with a equally happy Beta woman at her side. Her stomach was bulging, it made him sick. He shivered as he saw the words 'Finally Worthy' gracing it's cover.
A nurse had directed them to the room thirty minutes earlier. She had said that the doctor would be ready soon. It was nice to see a Omega woman as their Nurse, she didn't judge the trio as they walked in. A Omega walking around without a Alpha in a place like this drew attention. But this woman smelled like honeysuckle and sugar just nodded in understanding.
The door opened and a man came in. He smelled heavily like old oakwood cologne. Underneath it, Jason caught hints of something sour. It was overpowering and almost made him cough. He readied himself the news as the man let a long sigh and signaled for the Nurse to leave the room.
The woman had become small and submissive when the man came in. Even though he was a doctor and possibly he boss, the way she changed was odd. It was like a flip of switch and Jason was sure it had to do with her status. He took on last glance at the magazines in the table. Similar posters where inthe halls of the clinic, judging him.
"You're pregnant, congratulations." The doctor announced as the nurse from earlier obeyed him and left the room, waving goodbye with a small reassuring grin.
Jason gaped at the doctor in disbelief. He had thought the tests he had taken were false negatives but it appeared things wouldn't be that easy. He had believed with all his heart this would never happen to him. Anxiously, he looked over at his younger siblings who were staring at him in shock.
Cass was playing with a strand of her hair, biting her lip as her eyes quickly went to the floor. He had never seen her show any emotion really beside the rare smile. So seeing her nervous was making him uncomfortable. Duke just stared at him with his mouth hanging open before he spoke.
"Jason…" The teenager swallowed thickly as the older man began to ball his hands into fists. He stopped talking and quickly turned away to avoid the man's wrath.
He was pregnant. Another statistic in the long list of omegas who had failed to take proper precautions during their heat. He would get fat and start acting like a child, the perfect omega to traditionalists. He'd need a big, strong Alpha to take care of him and have utter control over his life.
If he wasn't so angry with himself he'd be throwing up into a nearby trash can. The idea of being pregnant with someone else's child, that had formed inside of his body made him sick. He didn't want to be a father or much less some child's mother. He'd rather shoot himself in the head then be someone's breeding bitch.
"There are other options for you if you don't want to keep the child," The doctor started cautiously, the tension in the room growing as the three once again noticed his presence. " I don't think we can abort safely with your medical history. It would be too risky for both you and the child."
God, they were already calling the thing inside of him a child. His maternal instincts would probably make him call it that to. Jason was going to need a lot of therapy from this situation. It was as if the creature had opened a gateway to every hateful thought and memory in his mind.
He sighed and wiped some of the sweat off of his brow before considering what the doctor had said. He didn't really care about his own wellbeing too much but he didn't want to be out of work with a failed abortion. There had to be other options for him.
"What about adoption?" Duke asked hesitantly.
"You can give the child up for adoption if you choose. But since your brother is an omega and not a beta, he will need approval from the child's father. Or the alpha of your current pack for legal reasons." Jason cursed under his breath, wishing he could throw himself out a window already.
This couldn’t be happening. It was like the world was throwing his fucking with pain in his face. He wished he could tell the doctor to shove the legal reasons up his ass, but he was too tired to get snarky with the man.
“So, I have to keep the baby. Even if I don’t want it all because I’m an omega?” The words hurt to say as he struggled to maintain his composure.
What type of parent would he be, with voices in his head and anger issues. How would he be able to raise a child with a life of drinking, smoking, fucking, and killing? He shivered as his self-hatred blossomed to torment him.
The doctor gave a somewhat unsympathetic glance at the man before answering.
“If you are having trouble with identifying the father or if you have no pack alpha, we will need any alpha in your family to take over custody. You know the law is very tight on omega birth rights so there isn’t much we can do. If you don’t have any family members that are alpha, the state can get involved. Find you a nice alpha to temporarily mate with, and then you can give your baby up for adoption after its birth.”
Duke frowned at the idea of a stranger entering their brother’s home. Cass was emotionless again, but Jason could tell from her subtle body language that the doctor’s tone was demeaning. The thought of some random alpha coming into his life and mating him was disgusting.
He was appalled at the fact that it was legal. He couldn’t imagine how many teens and single omegas had been forced to take that route for fear of retribution from their families. He wasn’t some alpha’s chew toy despite being a pregnant omega, the lowest of the low.
“We’re done here." Cass said, sensing her brother’s discomfort as she spoke coldly. She helped Jason get up as he still was recovering from his morning sickness from the breakfast they had.
Duke followed, a look of shock disappearing only to be replaced with disappointment. “We’ll be keeping the baby until further notice. Thank you for the help, Doctor."
Hurriedly the doctor tried to stop them from leaving once he heard her tone. “I’m sorry if I was being rash. We’ve just had a recent outcry on giving omegas passes with abortions and the clinic can’t risk any more lawsuits.” He spoke to them as if they were criminals, watching them warily as he tried to calm down the situation.
“Shut the fuck up and let us through the damn door.” Jason cursed as he towered over the man. Pregnant or not he still would shoot the man if he had to. His hormones were going out of control and this bastard wasn’t helping.
Thankfully the man seemed to understand the predicament he was in and quickly bowed his head, moving out of the way. The family left the room and walked out of the office in a hurry to get home and figure out how to handle the situation.
Jason was in shock still, angry at the doctor and the fact that he was pregnant. Not only that, but how the man came at him. He wondered what might have happened if Cass and Duke hadn't been there. To avoid attention they had fo come to a clinic in the middle of nowhere meaning more bigotry.
The way they treated Omegas in that office was sickening from the magazines to the way the nurse became meek when the doctor came near to the way the man spoke. He was angry at the entire exchange. And horrified at the news he'd have to tell Dick when the man was miles away, having become a permanent fixture in his fucked up life.
"Jason, talk to us." Duke said as they made their way to their car. "You look like you're going to blow."
"I just found out I'm pregnant by our fucking brother whose who knows where right now." Jason growled pulling on the car door to open it.
"Unlocking it." Cass muttered the keys in her hands as she watched him struggle to contain his emotions.
"He's on a mission and he has been for months. And you don't have to tell him immediately or we can for you!" Duke suggested only to be met with Jason's wrath.
"No." Jason nearly yelled, feeling his temper rise. This was not happening. This could not be happening. "Nobody's telling anyone. Don't utter a word of this to Dick or Bruce."
Cass looked trouble but she nodded her head in agreement. She looked over to Duke who reluctantly did the same. He knew they wanted to argue, to ask if he was alright again but thankfully they shut their mouths. Right now he needed to focus on what his next move would be for the next eighteen years.
He wasn't abandoning the kid, he wasn't some heartless monster. But how would he explain to Dick why he suddenly had a kid that looked just like the both of them? The months would add up. It all led to that night, that day he had asked Dick to come over and help him. His heat had been a bitch and both of them had decided to just have that one night. One favor to help relieve his cramps and cravings.
And now he was pregnant from that one night stand. With a baby that his older brother would no doubt want to see, hold, cuddle, etc. It was a living nightmare.
