Another sharp twinge was felt by his abdomen. This on and off again spikes in pain have been happening all morning.
At first he thought I must be cramps. His omega cycle was never the most reliable. What should have been his formative years of establishing a heat cycle were spent in grueling conditions of active combat. Added that the government pumped him full of pills. Resulting in irregular cycles. He wouldn't be surprised if he was infertile.
Leon placed his hand over his abdominal-uterine region. He never considered children. Believing it not in his cards. So being infertile was a bonus easy sex without the fear of pregnancy.
Then he met Chris and how he ached for him. Post-mission sitting far off in the shade Leon resting his tired legs he stared as Chris held two children. Each hanging on his arms like two monkeys on tree branches. He laughed as he easily held them up. Leon swooned. Just hours ago Chris punched a BOW so hard its body splattered and now he was a playground for children.
For one sick moment Leon thought, 'I wouldn't mind being pregnant if it was his'.
But he pushed it away. Kept that idea up lock and key.
And then Chris learned to pick locks. And an idea turned dreams into reality.
Years later Leon and Chris were mated.
Sharing a home and bank account and everything.
Despite how much they tried.
Let the court know they tried. No crops seemed to be growing. Chris never brought it up. But Leon knew it was his fault. He was defective. Chris wanted children. He never actively said anything. But the way he'd melt when one of the omegas from the office showed their newborn, Leon wasn't a fool.
Now infertility was a curse. Holding him from giving the love of his life to a family. The omega never had his condition diagnosed. He was afraid that going to the doctor would confirm it. He needed to stay in this delusional state longer. Enough to make him brave enough to face the facts.
Sighing the twinge finally stopped. "You ok?", a deep voice asked.
"Yeah, just some cramps don't worry about it", Leon said with a thumbs up, his body hunched over his desk. Tim from accounting nodded, "Need some acetaminophen? I have some on my desk", he asked pointing to the connected office door. Tim was a fellow omega who had been at the DSO for a while now just engaged to his long-time alpha, "I'm good Tim. Just had one", Tim smiled and wished him a good day.
It was true he had taken a pill but these damn pains hadn't left. "I should call it quits and go home", Leon muttered as he pinched in-between his eyebrows. It was Wednesday but most of the office had gone out for a lunch break leaving Leon to a nice and empty office space. He had hoped to have time with his feet up on his phone. But the pain started to come more consistently.
Feeling his phone vibrate he pulled out his cell, a message from Jill.
Leon chuckled slowly. He loved annoying Jill. His relationship with her was different. Jill was a damn fine soldier pulling feats that Leon found to be impressive. He believed they would be close as their habits were awfully similar. Birds of feather.
Then again as were their personalities. So maybe not.
If it weren't for the fact that she and Chris had an almost thing. Leon knew it was stupid to be jealous of a fellow omega for no grounds. Especially when Chris made it known that that was his past. And he was his current and forever. Chris did state in the beginning if Leon couldn't accept Jill would always be in his life then this would not work out.
Leon swallowed his jealousy and let it go. Jill also seemingly got over her affection for the brown-eyed alpha and started seeing Claros.
Still. He loved annoying her. She was quick with her remarks. And unlike Claire who he never was able to be fully bitchy too. He felt guilty being a dick to her even joking around. Weak to those big brown Redfield eyes.
Jill though seemed to thrive on it. Leaving Leon gob smacked when she responds sometimes.
Looking at his wrist watch, it was barely 12:15pm, his cramps had subsided but he still felt a bone aching tiredness. Like all the energy was sapped from his body after a grueling run. "The hell with this",
With a quick grab of his stuff. He clocked out. Heading over to the BSAA division or at least the public facing one. Texting Jill here she let him in. Although mated neither Chris nor Leon had access to the other's workplace. And legally neither boss was allowed to ask for information.
It was at the 3rd floor when Leon felt a sharp kick gasping he gripped the elevator safety bars, "What the fuck was that?", he's felt a lot of strange things. But an internal kick was something else, his teeth clenched when he felt another one. Finally making it on the fifth floor his weak legs shaking as he walked out. "At least call before you get.. what's wrong?", Jill stopped her rant seeing Leon lean on a wall. "I don't know. I just felt this kick and now", Leon groaned as he leaned his body on the wall, his eyebrows pinching in pain. Jill grabbed his arm putting it over her shoulder, "Come on we're going to Rebecca's lab", she opened the elevator door, as they entered she swiped her special clearance badge and clicked the basement floor. "I'm fine just cramps", Leon tensed as another cramp traveled from his lower back to his ass. "I doubt these are cramps", She had seen Kennedy walk away from bullet wounds or being tossed around like a rag doll. He would only respond with a smirk and a You do care.
So for him to be visibly showing pain. Teeth clenched cold sweats running down his neck. This was something beyond the usual pain.
At the basement they hobbled to Rebecca's sterile lab. She was looking at data points on her computer when they burst in. "Hey knock at least", she yelled as she jumped from her seat, "Sorry Becky but something is wrong with Leon", as she said that Leon let out a long pained whine, "I can see. Tell me what happened ", she hurriedly saved her file and ran to grab her medical kit.
"I don't know. He came out of the elevator like this", Jill confessed as she sat Leon on a stool. "Leon?",
Catching his breathing as the pain slowed it didn't disappear but it wasn't as active, "I've been having cramps all morning. Just thought it was my heat cycle", Rebecca blushed. She was an alpha. A little one but still an alpha who blushed at the thought of an omega in heat. "No accident or injury in your last mission?"
Leon shook his head, "No last mission was over two months ago. Haven't had a need for me in the field", he was happy for the break. "Maybe we should take him to a hospital. Doesn't seem BOW related", Jill frowned, no way was this just hospital visit worthy, "I'm not sure Becky",
Leon stood up ready to defend his cramps argument, only to feel a cold sensation down his legs. Looking down he could see a puddle growing by his feet. The others followed his eyesight, "Leon?",
"I swear I didn't pee myself", his face was red as he stammered to his defense, Rebecca got close to him her small hands grabbing his face, "Leon I need you to listen", her voice as calm as any alpha, "I think you're in labor",
Both he and Jill shrieked, "But I can't infertile I..", Jill moved his head back to look at her, "Leon listened. Cramps all morning suddenly abdominal pain and now this", she said looking at the fluid in the ground, "You are in labor ",
Leon swallowed, "Oh no, no. I can't. I don't have a plan. Chris.. he isn't ", he stammered. He was a battle hardened agent seeing vile monsters on a near daily basis. But this. He was scared. He needed Chris, he wanted Chris. He couldn't handle this alone.
This wasn't in his cards. His hands were shaking. Jolting he felt a warm hand wrap around his. "You aren't alone in this Leon. Rebecca and I are here", Jill smiled, as she placed her other hand around their clasped ones, "We have a job to do. Now isn't the time to crack under pressure, Redfield". Leon felt himself tear up. Nodded, "At your command Valentine ", never breaking eye contact
"Beck, do we have time? To call an ambulance?",
She checked how far the closest hospital was. "I would take them 20 to 40 minutes to get here"
"No no hospital"
"Leon I have to insist "
"Can you deliver it? The baby?"
"I don't know maybe but ",
"Then do it",
"Why Leon a hospital is safer ",
"For me...but not for her", Leon said as he slowly walked around the room, "Chris and I always talked how if...when we had a kid. We'd have a midwife. We couldn't trust Umbrella to not try and get their dirty little hands on her. Who knows how'd they'd react to a Redfield-Kennedy genetic mix",
The others knew he was right. Wesker hated Chris to his dying breath because he was made of something different. "Her? What makes you so sure?", Jill teased, Leon let out a feeble laugh as he slowly completed a walk around the lab. "Omega instincts. I know my baby girl",
"You've known her for two seconds", Jill quipped hands on his hips as Leon passed her in his walk, "Doubting my instincts?"
"More your intelligence ", they smirked at each other.
Rebecca threw a plastic sheet over an examining table and then a cloth sheet over that. She hurriedly prepared her instruments. "I'm calling Claire", Jill said as she pulled her phone out. Leon sighed a thank you, as Rebecca gave him a gown, "Put this on",
The alpha finished pulling the last of her tools, in a low voice she told Jill, "I'm happy I never have to experience this", she felt queasy at the thought of having her body tear itself up. Jill smirked as she found Claire's contact, "That's why you always practice safely. Leon here never learned",
A fuck you could be heard from across the room. Jill raised an eyebrow at the alpha. "What do you mean you never have to experience this? If you get an omega pregnant you're going to experience this", Jill stated without a fact. "Its different omegas are fighting for their life. While alphas have no offense to my gender. Sit there stupid", Rebecca argued. "Fair enough", Claire picked up with a "hey Jill.
"Hey so Claire, how far away are you from the agency? Why? Well seems your Leon and Chris have been very busy",
Now 40 minutes later Claire arrived out of breath but the child still hadn't. Leon groaned as he leaned over the counter Jill rubbing his back. "Glad to see I didn't miss the party",
Leon huffed a laugh, lifting his head to expose his tired eyes, "Well the birthday girl wanted a big entrance", breathing deep, "Glad you're here",
"Thanks for calling Jill", the brunette nodded as Claire switched places. "I'm sorry if this isn't what you planned ", she said softly as she continued to gently rub his lower back, "Fuck if this was my idea. I didn't know I had a bun in the oven", Leon cursed his hands clenching as a very sharp pain ran down his spine, "Guess I'm full of surprises", he laughed feeble
"Can't lie and say I'm not excited to be an aunt", Claire said as she leaned her cheek against the back of his head, "Good thing is you can skip having a gender reveal and baby shower",
Leon let out a pained laugh, "As if I'd skip getting free shit",
"Technically they're meant for the baby to get free shit", she smiled as she picked up a napkin and pat his sweaty forehead, "Technically I'm pushing a human out I deserve compensation ", his voice strained at the end of his talk.
"It'll be ok," Claire comforted him by brushing his hair out of his eyes, "Could have been avoided if you practiced safe sex", Jill joked as she pushed Rebecca's medical cart over to the group, "Jill", Claire glared at her, "This is not the time",
Leon pushed himself off the counter, "She's right. I thought for so long that I was infertile. I almost gave up on the idea of us having a kid", with a sardonic laugh, "Of course I'd be wrong, stupid Chris and stupid sperm. Fucking asshole always having to prove me wrong", letting a painful whine he near yelled, "What a dick",
"You don't know if you're infertile", Rebecca added unhelpfully, "What you are experiencing is a cryptic pregnancy. Only 1 in 2,500 end with birth",
The dirty blonde omega huffed, "I must be the luckiest unlucky man on earth", Of course he'd be the one to deal with a statically low odds, feeling a flutter, "Rebecca I think its time", Leon said feeble he lifted himself from the counter. The alpha walked over her hands covered in plastic medical gloves and lifted the gown, "Sorry if it's cold" as she inserted her fingers, Leon cursed and tensed, "You're right. It's time", Leon cursed. From what he heard the pain was about to get worse.
With a deep sigh Leon turned to Claire smirking, "I should buy a lotto ticket",
She was kind of ugly bald and red faced. Looking less like a baby or more like a tomato left out in the sun. Leon lay comfortably on the medical table his sweetheart bundled in his arms. Letting his pinky brush against her small cheek. Asleep to the world. Unaware of the torment she called every person in this room. Fitting, Leon chuckled she was her father's daughter.
"Smile", Claire said as she took a photo from her phone, Leon had a weak smile, no energy to try and look anything but a rat.
Jill walked over her wearing his shirt as hers was covered in amniotic fluid and blood, "Hate that your were right", she grumbled as she leaned over his left arm to have a better look ag her, "No paternal testing needed, she's Chris' ",
Leon huffed a laugh, "What makes you say that?",
"This ugly face can only come from one guy",
"Fuck off", Leon retorted having no malice. Jill laughed as she placed her hand over his. "Good Job Leon",
"Thank you Jill", Leon felt his voice choking up as he felt tears come up. The two omegas stared at each other feeling as their odd relationship shifted. Valentine had always been Chris' partner, when she was with him Leon never had to worry if his husband was coming home. Today their friendly jokester type relationship changed Leon she's her as someone that he could count on. In a unique experience never before seen by another in the room before Leon cried, "Thank you. All of you. I couldn't have done this", his voice wobbled as he clutched his girl closer. Claire ran over hugging his head her alpha scent calming him, "That's what family is for ",
It was in the safety of their home that Leon felt embarrassed. He would be eternally grateful to the women that helped him. Vowing never to complain if they needed a 2am airplane ride again. Except Jill who he would pick up and purposely be energized to annoy her.
Still he did feel embarrassed that they had seen his undercarriage. It was during a medical procedure and he doubted they even cared while he was actively pushing his child out. But he wondered if he should bring it up or just ignore it. Claire would be honest with him but asking his sister-in-law about his dick/pussy/ass situation was so far off normal.
A sniffle broke his thoughts, Leon placed his hand over his girl's stomach, they were both laying on his and Chris bed, she was still asleep. She was still asleep, which Leon was grateful for.
How he didn't notice a thing like her growing in his stomach was outstanding. Rebecca believes it was due to his active lifestyle. He was fit with muscle definition. Some omegas rarely have noticeable changes in their first pregnancy. This plus Leon's fit physique it wasn't surprising he didn't know.
Bringing himself closer he breathed her scent in, "How am I going to explain this?", Leon whispered to himself. Imagine if your spouse went to work in the morning and came home with a new baby.
Chris had been gone for over 3 weeks already due to be back any day now. Leon felt happy for his girl but so...sad that Chris had missed out.
The alpha deserved to see his girl come into the world and to hear her first cries. He lightly touched her small nose. Hearing noise from downstairs Leon sat up from the bed, "Chris", he moved quickly hissing from the sudden movement, "Slowly slowly", he reminded himself. As he walked downstairs, making his way to the bottom floor Chris was taking his jacket and off and placing them in the shoe closet by the door, "Welcome back", Leon smiled as he made his way over, Chris snapped his head, "Glad to be back", as he wrapped his arms around the other, embraced the two shared a sweet kiss, "Thought you'd be asleep by now", Chris said as he rubbed his cheek over Leon's head reapplying his scent, "Was waiting up for you", Leon said as he moved his now head in response to Chris.
The alpha grinned as he lowered his hands to the others ass, "Wanted to greet me like a good little omega?", excited to finally have his partner again after 3 weeks of loneliness, he was hard the moment Leon wrapped his arms around him, if he let him Chris was have him right now against the front door. Leon hissed, still recovering from the natural disaster upstairs. Chris released his grip, "What was that? You ok?", Chris asked Leon nodded as he lowered his arms to lay over Chris' chest. They didn't have a large height difference but at times like these Leon felt small. "Yeah just have a present for you", Leon smiled nervously, "OK?",
"Umm this present was unexpected and came out of nowhere.. well not out of nowhere it came from somewhere", Leon snapped his mouth shut. Chris gently grabbed the other by the chin, his thumb laying on the other cleft chin, "Talk to me?", after years together he learned quickly that Leon had a mouth, if he was excited he talked, nervous he talked, annoyed he talked. But how he spoke and what he said differed. This was nerves
"Your gift is upstairs",
"Ok~", Chris replied as a flirty smirk grew on his face completely misinterpreting the gift. "No. She's upstairs", Leon said as he grabbed the other's hand pulling him to the stairs, "She?", Chris pulling back but didn't let go of the others hands, "Leon this better not be anything weird?",
"That sounded bad sorry", Leon laughed half-jokingly, half-serious, "I'd kill you before I let you stick that dick anywhere", Chris knew which it was. Pulling him again "Trust me",
Chris wordlessly followed till they were in front of the master bedroom, letting go Leon leaned his back against the wooden door, "Before I let you in you have to stay quiet ", Leon said as he held a finger up to his mouth, slowly opening the door, Chris couldn't a pillows in a circle inside lay a small baby wearing a baby pink onesie. "Is that a baby?", Chris asked as he walked in, "Yes",
"Leon whose baby is that?", Chris asked dumbfounded, he had been gone for three weeks. The night before his departure Leon had rode him to a numbing orgasm Chris running through the other happy trail up over the other's well-defined abs. Weren't pregnancies more noticeable a large bump isn't that hard to miss. But Leon looked no different. Hell he still actively went to the gym,
"She's yours", Leon said, voicing Chris back into his head, the taller man wordlessly turned as he slapped his hand on his large chest in a 'me' fashion. Leon gave a small single nod.
Like an idiot Chris in a hushed voice, "I swear Leon there must be a mistake I've never slept with another but you ", Leon frowned smacking Chris shoulder, "I know that you idiot. What's wrong with you!",
"Then whose..", Chris stopped turned to look at the baby and then back to Leon who preferred to look at the ground, "oh",
Without hesitation Chris hugged the other, "I'm sorry you had to go it alone", he whispered as he kissed his forehead, Leon felt his eyes tear up and placed his head in the crook in the other's head. Damn these post-hormone's he was a man first, "I wasn't alone. Claire, Jill and Rebecca, all of them where there. I actually got some blood on Jill", he had little crooked smile as he fondly remembered the way she shrieked.
"I'm glad. I have to thank them when I see them", Chris sat them to the edge of the bed pulling Leon to sit on his lap. Thankfully despite his large frame he did not disturb the baby's sleep. The others arms wrapped around his waist while Leon comfortable on the other like a chair, "Tell me what happened ",
After a quick overview Chris was up to speed. He was taking it very well. Some alphas needed a 9-month period to mentally prepare and some still had a hard time adjusting. Chris had 30 minutes. Sometime in their conversation the baby started to squirm Leon moving to his original spot on the bed beside her.
"What's her name?", Chris whispered as he knelt on the floor to look at her, "Don't know haven't given her one yet", Leon replied as he lay in the bed again one arm propping his head up. "Her daddy deserved to have that", Chris smiled warmly, he turned his face to wipe his eyes as he sniffled, "I can't think of one ", he confessed as felt his heart bursting Leon reached over as he brushed Chris cheekbone, "Don't worry there's tomorrow besides she's 3 days old. I doubt she needs a real name right now",
"What have you been calling her?", Chris asked as he laid his chin on his crossed arms laying on the bed. "Baby Girl. Figured I'd go with the obvious", Leon yawned, Chris smiled, "Go to sleep. We will talk tomorrow ", Leon tried to put up a fight but he had no energy left as his eyes slowly dropped, "The baby has a makeshift crib", Leon pointed to a small bassinet by the bathroom. It had cloth walls and a metal frame, moving it along the bed, Chris stood silently as Leon slowly lifted her. Fighting his sleep he moved his arms closer to the other, "Hold her", Leon whispered, "No I can't. My hands are dirty ", Chris said worried the grime from his mission would taint her. He had taken a shower at the BSAA but he was still paranoid, Leon didn't listen and moved closer lifting her into the other's hands, Chris swallowed a thick ball of saliva nervously to hold a baby doll like her. She was so small he didn't need both hands to fully support her. He jumped when she let a small sneeze, Chris smiled at Leon when she fell back asleep, the other went back to laying down on his spot. Hair splayed open as his eyes laid half lid, "Wish I had a camera", Chris said enamored with how angelic Leon could look
"Me too", the other responded Chris smiled as he lifted her to his nose sniffing her newborn smell, "I haven't let anyone hold her",
"Huh?",
"The baby. You deserved to see your birth", Leon said, he brushed her hair, barely a day old and their careers have already effected her. Both knew it was unavoidable, "But you couldn't. I'm not blaming you. If you knew you would have told the BSAA to fuck off. So I better not hear you apologizing", Leon snapped at the other who already had his mouth wide open ready to apologize, "The least I could do was make sure you got to be the first to hold her",
Chris smile twitched as he got the honor, "Wouldn't I be third though since Rebecca held the birth",
"Nope", Leon said proudly, "When she said she saw the head I swooped down there and caught her. So I'm the first", he said thumbprint to himself with a shit-eating grin. Chris shook his head, "Leon S. Kennedy always wanting to win",
"I did the whole the thing. I deserved to have first prize", Leon said yawning, "Sucks for you. I'm the real winner", Chris said giving the other a good night kiss, "Lame", Leon whispered as sleep took him
Chris stared at his sleeping omega and then at the baby in his arms, "Don't tell him. But you're the best first prize I've ever had", Chris whispered as he brought their foreheads together.
