Henley

Part Thirteen

The first thing I didn't expect when I had gotten out of the shower, was that Aya had already left. The second thing I didn't expect was his text message.

Fated Aya: Come down. I'm in the car. I'll be waiting for you. We need to go somewhere. It's important.

I had typed back a quick message saying Okay. Then I rushed to get dressed and grabbed my wallet and keys. Now I was outside looking at his car. I made my way towards it and pulled at the passenger door. Aya jumped a little and I jumped in.

He sat there looking out the window at the clouds. I searched his expression for nerves. For apprehension, for anything. I looked for his many tells that he was nervous or worried about something. He wasn’t chewing on his lip. He was quiet, but appeared comfortable with the silence. His brow was relaxed and his breaths were long and easy. Unlike me. I was terrified about something. I wasn't sure what that was yet. But there was definitely something. Then he finally turned to look at me and said. "We need to go to the hospital."

The words hit me like a boulder. "Why?" I asked. "Is something wrong? Did something happen between the time I showered and now?"

Now he was chewing his lip and I'd started chewing mine. "I spoke to Aida," he paused as he popped the keys into the ignition. "....about last night."

"You said it was fine Aya."

"I know I did. And we're both stupid for not really figuring out what was actually happening," he stopped mid sentence to catch his breath. "How have we grown up so oblivious Henley? Shouldn't we know our bodies? Shouldn't we have listened?"

"Your right. I've been oblivious."

"Me too," He started the car and pulled away. "Aida's right. It's common knowledge, but we still didn't see it. He told me off for never listening. I'm an Omega and you're an Alpha. How we didn't see this coming is beyond me."

"What…" I stopped to think for a second. I was trying to claw back the memories from class or my tutoring lessons. Then it hit me. "We paired, right?" Aya nodded. "But that wasn't enough," fuck, it was all coming back to me. Flooding my brain. "Your scent was so strong last night. You were so damn hot and I don't mean in the sexy kind of way. Your body temperature was through the roof and I couldn't stop myself."

"I felt hot, yes. But I couldn't smell anything else but your scent. It was an almost woodsy smell with a floral scent mixed in there."

"Were you in heat?"

"No...I'd know if I was."

I grabbed my phone and quickly typed on the Internet. Rutting. Fuck! God! I'm so damn stupid. "Aya. It was a rut, your scent was so much stronger last night. This is confusing, Alphas rut when their Omega goes into heat, but you said your not in heat and your scent is really weak now. But it's possible, right? Even for that moment. Is it possible?" My brain was overloaded with information and shit I've long forgotten because I wasn't ever interested in anyone until I met Aya. Instantly I knew he was meant for me, I felt it for fucks sake, that night in the bar. It was so strong, even though at first I thought he was an Alpha. Is this what they call a fated pair. So the bite wouldn't have mattered. None of that would have mattered.

Aya let out a long sigh. "Anything is possible. I guess most go by the book. But as we evolve, I guess we change. We change for the right mate. Nothing is impossible."

"Could we have bonded without me marking you?"

"That's why we're going to see Aida. I'm confused as much as you are Henley. Nothing adds up. But like I said, nothing is impossible."

"Why go to Aida? What's the purpose? To find out what we might already know. That we're different. So fuck it. Just let it be. Your mine and I'm yours. We're paired. We love each other. So let's forget about going to the damn hospital and just get on with things like normal."

"....Henley….you knotted. Do you realize what that will mean?"

I stared at Aya for long moments. Of course I know what it could mean. "You could be pregnant."

Aya gasped and slowed the car. "Yes," then he pulled into a lay by and shut off the engine. "Yes Henley. That's very possible. In fact it's most likely."

"So let's go home. And if you are you are….."

"But Aida….he said we've only just got together. He said wouldn't it be too early for a baby."

"Aya," oh shit, his eyes were filling with tears. "Baby, if I've put a kid in you then isn't that amazing? Wouldn't you want that?"

"I…," he sniffed and wiped at his eyes. "I wouldn't want nothing more."

"Me too." I said, and committed that very second to memory, then finished, "....I want you to be pregnant." It was the most spectacular rainbow of emotions on his beautiful face. The small gasp. His mouth fell open. The shock matured into pure joy, spreading from the corners of his eyes down his face like a waterfall. My Aya. My love. My words had hit him like a bolt of lightning. I watched him hear them. It was so fun that I did it twice. Because sometimes things happen that are so far past fantastic you have to do them again simply to see if they’re as spectacular the second time. Those precious moments are almost as good as the next, when you learn sometimes second-time moments are more. "We could be having a baby, Aya," I said. Was it hormones fueling my emotions, or my emotions amplifying my hormones? Regardless, it was splendid.

"But if I'm not." Then almost as if a switch flipped, it rocked him and he started to tear up.

"Then we figure shit out and try again. But have you ever heard of happy accidents Aya?"

"Happy accident," He repeated, letting it sink in. "Okay," he'd started nodding. "Let's give this a bit of time and see what happens."

"Call your brother and tell him we're not going there. Tell him good things happen for a reason."

"Right, sure."

I grabbed Aya by the cheeks. He jumped at the motion. "We got this."

"You surprised me," he admitted, out of breath. The shock made his body tremble. "Okay, we got this."

"Uh huh, we have," I agreed.

Then kissed him and it only intensified when he latched onto me to deepen it. "Thank you," he said around our lips. "Thank you so much. For being you."

"We were born for this moment Aya….no, for each other."

"I agree. I love you."

"I love you."

"Are you really sure? Are you happy?" He asked, as if he really needed to clarify this moment.

"Yes, I’m happy. I was shocked by all of this, but, this is the best thing ever. We could be having a baby. Our very own little person to play with and teach and dote on. I couldn’t be happier. Seriously," It was the truth. There wasn’t one negative thing I could think of. Sure, some couples like to wait awhile and get a house or spend more time together first, but all of that was bullshit. We had a place, my place, our place and having a kid would only make it worth more to me. In one moment my attention had shifted. My priorities had changed. Somewhat. I was his Alpha, his mate. I was going to make sure Aya knew that and whatever he wanted, he'd get. "So let's go home. I have holiday that needs to be taken from work, so I'm going to take it. I need to be with you Aya, every second of every day."

"Yeah, I want that." He was whispering now. Yet his eyes were shining with possibilities. Like telling ourselves that we could be parents was the single biggest rush of our lives. It was the best gift. The biggest present. The most valuable thing anyone could ever be given. I was blown away. We both were. God I love him. I love him so much. And if it turns out that he's not, I'd be more than happy to keep trying at it.
