Babymaking (1)

* * *

Meeting after their respective checkups, Daniel, Ian, and the rest could tell that Fyre had just come from crying. They didn't exactly know the reason why and they also didn't ask, believing it's a sensitive topic but just seeing Fyre, they had a bit of an idea as to what had happened since they're already talked about the possibility of him being pregnant and the fellow Omega actually didn't mind it if it was given to them. So surely it was not because his results say that he is indeed pregnant but maybe because it was the opposite.

Perhaps he had been thinking about it for days and believed he was expecting but it turns out he wasn't. Of course, in reality, both Omega doesn't actually know why Fyre had cried and they just assumed that it was that reason and thus explaining the reason why both Daniel and Ian were reluctant to invite him to go shopping now since they were specifically planning to look around the baby stores.

"Fyre, if you want, we can quickly call it a day. We can always reschedule shopping some other days if you're tired. I heard today was your first day in your new job?" Ian softly said, catching Fyre's attention who was all this time walking alongside Ian and Daniel with his mind preoccupied. For a brief moment, Fyre wasn't able to reply before he quickly realized that the older Omega was talking to him.

"Ha? What? Oh no, please don't mind me. Well, although I'm a little bit tired, I'm still fine and can hang out with you guys. You really didn't need to worry about me." Fyre quickly responded with an awkward smile as he fidgeted. Needless to say, his mind was still on the fact that he's a defective Omega and at this point might not even be able to have a child of his own but as he saw Ian and Daniel looking at him curiously, he tried to act strong and pretended he was fine.

Unfortunately, even though he did pull off such a strong and confident expression, Daniel and Ian could tell he was just pretending and got even more worried. Ian and Daniel looked at each other and as if they knew exactly what to do, they smiled and got closer to Fyre before each of them grabbed the fellow Omega's arm.

"Fyre, I don't know what exactly happened during your checkup and whether it's the reason why you're sad but you can talk to us. You can share anything with us since we're basically family now, okay? Three is better than one head after all," Daniel softly said but he didn't really probe and insist on Fyre to tell him what's the matter but instead told him that if he wanted to and ready, he could tell them whatever's weighing his heart and they would listen to him, possibly even offering a solution.

When Fyre heard such soothing words, he couldn't help but smile at the younger Omega that if he's not only in love with Tian Zi now, he would have definitely fallen for his pretty face.

"Thank you, cutie Danny but I'm really fine," Fyre finally laughed and even suddenly came up with a cute nickname for the fellow Omega that when Daniel heard it, he pouted but in the end giggled.

"Are you really okay? It looked like you were crying. Did Tian Zi bully you again?" Daniel asked curiously.

"Do you want Luu to punish him?" Ian suddenly suggested as he whispered knowing that the three Alphas are just following behind them.

"If I ask Laotian, he can punish him too," Daniel added, and just hearing it made Fyre laugh even more, discovering the fact that if one day Tian Zi tried to hurt or bully him, he could definitely count on the two to punish the Alpha for him.

"No no, please don't… he didn't bully me. If anything, he was the one comforting all this time… just that… I was sad I couldn't get a baby this time," Fyre said and later on confessed. He didn't really say the full details but it is true that that's the exact reason why he was sad and depressed.

"Ahh, so it's really that! Don't worry about it too much, if you didn't get a baby now, I'm sure if you tried a little harder it would suddenly come. Just look at us. I didn't even want another child but here it is and Ian, he didn't even know if he was going to have another one but here he is. Don't stress over things that you can control now, and instead focus on being happy and it will happen naturally, I'm sure of it," Daniel encouraged while Ian nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, listening to the fellow Omega's words, Fyre smiled and nodded.

He wasn't really sure if those words made him feel better or not. He knew Daniel said it to make him feel better thinking that he wasn't just lucky this time, his situation was a lot more complicated than that. Nevertheless, Fyre forced out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you. I will keep that in mind," Fyre said as they finally moved on to a different topic.

At the same time, following the three to wherever they wanted to go, Hanlu continued to probe Tian Zi to tell him what had happened. At first, Tian Zi didn't want to tell him because it was something private but in the end, he thought maybe his brothers would be able to help him.

"So, what is it? This is the only time we could be together and talk about things like this, so don't be stingy! You never know, we might really be able to help," Hanlu complained and further insisted, which made Tian Zi sigh in annoyance but later on gave up. Tian Zi looked at the three Omegas and specifically to Fyre who was seemingly enjoying his fellow Omega's company before he halted his walk.

"Fyre's uterus is shrinking… Apparently, 4 out of 10 recessive Omegas have this condition," Tian Zi simply said that both Hanlu and Laotian didn't really understand what he was trying to say.

"So it'll be harder for us to have a child… Fyre's really affected by it because he wanted to have a child but the doctor said this might be our last chance since as he aged, it'll be even more difficult to conceive," Tian Zi explained sorrowfully as he remembered how Fyre had cried so hard earlier. He could tell that the Omega was really in pain and affected by his condition. And as useless he was, he couldn't even do anything to make his beloved feel better or better yet take his pain away.

"W-What?!" Hanlu was the first to ask in shock. He figured that the result was that the couple wasn't lucky to have a baby yet, after all, he was the same with Ian all these years but he didn't expect that the situation was that serious. 'Does this mean I might not be able to see a little carbon-copy of Xiao Zi calling me uncle A-Luu ever?!' Hanlu thought dejectedly. Obviously, he didn't want that to happen.

"Should I call David and lend him to you? He'd be helpful to boost your fiance's immune system which might help with the conception. The doctor said you still have a chance so grab it while you still can," Laotian suddenly encouraged and surprisingly put his hand over his little brother's shoulder. Tian Zi looked at his eldest brother and surprisingly that made him feel a lot better but he didn't really need to borrow his brother's butler.

"Thank you, Eldest Brother, but I think I'm fine with Flinn. And you're right, we still have a chance and Fyre was willing to take it." Tian Zi replied with a faint smile. Even though this Eldest Brother was described as unfeeling, cruel, and strict… no one could actually tell how much Laotian had actually been helping him a lot until now ever since he was young. Although he was not the kind who would show it openly, he was the kind who would never walk away from a call for help.

"Ahh! That's right! How about I give you the stamina pills I gave to Brother-in-law at that time? I'm sure it'll help you a lot… And ignore what I said earlier this morning about the movie production, I think it's much better to focus on babymaking for now. How about it?" Hanlu said as well because he didn't want to lose against Laotian with his offer. Meanwhile, hearing such an offer, a pinkish hue suddenly reached his cheeks at the mention of babymaking. While there was nothing wrong with it and it was like the word choice was a little too inappropriate, especially considering where they are now.

"Brother, I really appreciate your intention but you really don't have to say it out loud. Besides, Fyre didn't want to quit so there's that," Tian Zi muttered. Of course, ever since they arrived at the mall, even though they were all just wearing simple attires that wouldn't catch attention, people were still staring at them no matter what whenever they passed by so when Hanlu mentioned the babymaking thing, Tian Zi was sure some people were able to hear it.

"Ah! Oops! Sorry about that but that's fine... no one here actually knows us anyway so you can be rest assured," Hanlu assured confidently and for the most part he was right because even if people indeed recognized them, they had people prepared to prevent them from taking pictures all around the area even if they couldn't see them now. It's something they needed to do and prepare beforehand since they could never know what might happen especially when their precious person was with them and out in the open.

"Still! Anyway, now that you know, you can stop bothering me!" Tian Zi hastily before rushing away from the two. Hanlu got confused as he later looked at Laotian, hopefully the older Alpha would feel the same as him but instead, the older Alpha just looked at him as if he was some failure and proceeded to walk away as well following his wife who had just entered a shop together with his fellow Omegas.

"W-What the!? What did I do!?" Looking at the two walking away from him, Hanlu soon after followed whining, wondering what he did wrong.
