Work Text:
Seokjin smiled weakly from his queen sized bed, he called his three children over. He was getting old, and he had recently had gotten a reminder of just how old he is.
flashback *
He was pregnant a month or so ago, since that's when he was suppose to give birth to their newest pup, Jungkook. But luck wasn't on Seokjin's side, when he gave the last push, something was off. The pup made no cry or whine, it was silent. Panicked, Seokjin sat up and saw how the doctors were trying many hung to get the pup to intake a breathe, nothing seems to work. Jungkook was a stillborn. If only Seokjin had gotten an ultrasound would he have known, the pain he felt was nothing like giving birth. No it broke his heart to see the precious pup lay lifelessly on the medical towel. His little eyes closed peacefully, almost as he was just merely sleeping. Seokjin cried for a long time, Yoongi never blamed him but the Omega blamed himself. After the experience he was afraid to try and become pregnant again. Fear lodged deep in his heart.
end of flashback*
His children came running into the small bedroom, the Omega smile fondly. “I want cuddle. Sleep with me Eomma feels lonely.” Seokjin said opening his arms. Jimin and Taehyung jumped into the gestures giggling and they snuggled in both sides of their Eomma's neck. Namjoon sat on the outside of the bed, in his Eomma's reach. Seokjin reached up and grabbed his 13 year old sons head and pulled his down next to his, smiling a smile that made his eyes form crescents.
“I love you all.”

The Following day
Namjoon opened his eyes, he saw his Eomma and twin brother sleeping. The young Betas hand came to rub the sleep out of his eyes. Today was his Eomma's birthday, the Omega was turning 30. Namjoon smiled as he smelled pancake batter cooking, the scent traveling from the kitchen to Seokjin's bedroom. The Beta sat up, he heard Yoongi call,
“Breakfast is ready!”
The Beta smiled and he gently shook his younger brothers awake, when he turned to his Eomma. He froze, something was off. His usual warm Rose scent gone, I was replaced with a sour smell...like lemons. It burned Namjoon's nose, it didn't seem to bother the kids because they had yet to present. Taehyung helped Jimin off the queen size bed and they made their way to the kitchen, chirping when they saw their usual grumpy father smiling.
“Eomma…”
Namjoon place his hand on the unusually cold skin of the Omega, he moved Seokjin and called again,
“Eomma?”
Something was wrong, Seokjin looked really pale. Like he had a nightmare, his rosy skin now some sort of dull grey. Namjoon stood up and ran out the room to his Appa. The Alpha was flipping pancakes when his son called him, sadness and fear emitting out of the Betas pores.
Yoongi's head turned toward Namjoon,
“Namjoon? Where your mother?”
The Alpha asked putting the said flipped pancakes on a blue plate. Namjoon could feel tears pricked and sting in his eyes, something was wrong with his Eomma. Yoongi noticed the glossy look to his sons eyes, he quickly removed the pan from he burned and went to Namjoon beeping in front of him. “What's wrong?”
“Eomma...he isn't waking up.” The Beta whispered to his father. Yoongi's eyes widened, he stood up and ran to the bedroom. There his lover was, body covered in a thick comforter yet he looked icy cold. It was hot, yet his cheeks weren't flushed. Worry settled in his stomach, “Seokjin baby?”
The Alpha stood next to the bed and removed the blankets from his mates dull body. His eyes trailed down the motionless Omega, he saw bones protruding through the lightly tanned skinned.
“Seokjin!?!”
This time more panic was in his voice, he shook Seokjin's body. He turned and saw Namjoon standing in the rooms doorway. “Joonie sweetie I need you to call the hospital. Quickly tell them it's an emergency, tell them everything from this morning.”
Namjoon nodded and grabbed the closet phone, dialing the hospital the frequented.
Yoongi kissed his ‘sleeping’ Omega, he couldn't lose Seokjin. How was he suppose to live without his eternal mate. They were supposed to watch their kids grow up, and themselves growing old keeping each other company till they passed. But..Seokjin just turned fucking thirty!!! The Alpha heard footsteps approach the room, it was little Jiminnie. “Appa is Eomma gonna get up? I want cuddles.”
“Eomma just really tired, Minnie.” The Alphas back was facing one of their….his youngest sons, tears falling down his cheeks. He mate stunk of dead flowers, he smelled like death. “Why don't y-you go get TaeTae to give you cuddles?” Jimin sucked on his thumb, “Appa are you okay?”
Yoongi nodded, back still facing the child. “Appa just happy that today is Eomma's birthday.” Jimin smiled, “you really love Eomma” the young boy giggled as he left his Eomma alone, it was his special day after all. Namjoon walked into the bedroom, “they are almost here, Appa...is Eomma okay?”
Namjoon heard a muffled sob.
No Joonie he's dead. He's fucking dead!! Yoongi wanted to yelled, he felt so overwhelmed. How did this happened? When? He thought the Omega was happy and content. More tears fell down the Alphas cheek. It seemed like hours until there was a knock on the door, the eldest son quick to answer and let the Nurses in. They were carrying a stretcher. Based off of what the young Beta told them, the concluded that the Omega was dead. No fucking duh.
Namjoon showed them to his mother's bedroom, his little brother hugging each of his legs, where his father was kissing their wedding ring in the dead mates finger. They began to talked to Yoongi and getting permission to take his lover's
As the nurses took the body out, Seokjin hand fell from the stretcher. Jimin ran and grabbed the hand, he didn't understand where they were taking Eomma. “Eomma???” The young child cried, scared. Seokjin remained motionless. Taehyung stayed inside his eyes glazing over. Namjoon grabbed Jimin, making him release his grip on their mother. Fat tears ran down his chubby face, he didn't understand. The young Beta held his brother tight, “Eomma sleeping. It's okay Jimin we'll all see Eomma when we are older.”
Somehow the boys smiled at each other, happiness in Jimin's while Namjoon had sorrow. They walked back to Taehyung and includes him in their hug. Suddenly they heard open sobs coming from their mothers room. It finally hit the Alpha, the loss of his eternal mate, of his wife and lover...his everything. After an hour of weeping he came out of the room, his eyes red and swollen. He saw his three little angels snuggled on the couch, at least he had Seokjin's greatest treasure left… Yoongi smiled and more tears fell. He walked over to the trio and hugged them, “I love you...and Eomma loves you too, don't you ever forget that.”
