Ellie’s POV

This week has been pure hell for me, I’ve been super nauseous for the past three days, and on top of that my boobs are super sensitive for whatever reason. I haven’t told anyone, because I don’t want to worry my parents, or C.J. For all I know it could just be something that I ate, or just a mild case of the flu. The hardest part of this whole situation is that I still have to go to class. I groaned in pain as another wave of nausea hit me. I feel like this week has lasted for an eternity, and it’s literally only Wednesday today. I think that I should go to the doctors later today, just to see what they say.

I was meeting up with Walker, and some of his friends today for lunch on the campus. I let him know that I wasn’t feeling that great today, and that’s when he told me to meet up with him. I quickly got dressed into a comfortable shirt, and pair of leggings, then headed out. It takes me about 20 minutes to walk to campus, and then another ten to get to the area that I was supposed to meet Walker.

When I got there I was immediately swarmed by a huge amount of Alpha musk. My nose scrunched up in distaste, I’m assuming these are his football friends.

“Who is this cutie Walker? Have you been keeping him all to yourself this whole time?” This big red head nudged Walker, as I approached him and gave him a quick hug hello.

“Guys this is Ellie, and I don’t want any funny business. He is already taken” All four of them smirked at Walker

“Walker you sly dog. When did you get yourself a sweet little omega?” An equally muscular brunette spoke up this time. I could tell that they were just poking fun at Walker, so I didn’t take anything they were saying to heart.

“Psh, Walker wishes he could get an Omega like me” They all laughed, and the brunette high-fived me. Walker put his hand on his heart as if he was in pain.

“I like you Ellie. My name is Ryan, this is Luke, he’s Brandon, and finally Ross” Ryan was the red head, Luke was the brunette, Brandon is the shortest one, and Ross was blonde and covered in tattoos.

“Whatever Ellie. I guess you don’t want any of this chicken noodle soup that I picked up for you, out of concern. An Alpha like me could never offer such filth to an Omega as devine as you” My eyes zoned in on the soup. How cute was that, he brought me soup cause he knew I wasn’t feeling well.

I shook his arm in protest, “No please Walker. I take it back. I want the soup. I’ll do anything”

And I really would do anything if it meant that my poor tummy would be fed. He chuckled at my reaction.

“Oh how could I ever deny you anything Ellie. Also if I even made you the slightest bit upset C.J would kill me” It was finally my turn to smirk as he handed the sweet sweet soup over to me.

“Wait you’re C.J’s omega?” Ryan stared at me with wide eyes, “ But you’re so tiny, and he’s a mammoth of a man”.

“Well not officially, but he is my boyfriend” He nodded, and grinned at me. They were all super easy to talk to, and I learned all about them.

It turns out that Brandon, and Luke are both bird shifters. Luke is an eagle, and Brandon is a vulture. Hopefully they don’t like the taste of mice. Ryan is a lion shifter, and Ross is a wolf. I even found out that Walker was a Dalmation shifter. I would have to make him show me it one day. When they all found out that I was a mouse shifter, they all wanted to see. Walker showed them pictures of me from that one weekend at the beach. It was very amusing to see 5 Alpha men gush over how cute, and little my mouse is. Ross had a male omega mate, who he had known since they were pups but he went to school in a different state. Brandon also was mated, but his mate was a beta female that he had met in his sophomore year. The others weren’t mated yet, but Luke was dating a male beta who was on the university’s swim team. Ryan said that he was in no rush to be mated, and enjoyed being young and single. Walker was also single, but he said that he was just waiting to find the right person.

Unfortunately I had a class coming up, and I had to leave early. Ross said that he also had a class in my direction coming up, and he offered to walk with me. I accepted, and we said our goodbyes before heading off to class. Ross was actually a super sweet guy, once you got past his scary exterior, and you could tell that he really loved his mate. I felt like I knew the Omega, and I have never even met the guy yet. He didn’t only talk about his mate though, and I learned that he was a kinesiology major. He was still a junior, unlike the rest of the guys, so I was happy to make a friend who would at least be here for another year before leaving me.

I really should make friends of my own. I have never really had any friends due to the fact that people always mistook me for someone younger than them, or they thought that I was weird and didn’t want to get involved with me in any way. I was super grateful that Walker was introducing me to so many of his friends, and allowing me to make friends. I feel like my life has changed so much since meeting C.J, and I love it.

I’m feeling a little bit better compared to earlier today, but my boobs are still super tender, so I decided to stop by the doctors after all. Surprisingly the waiting room was pretty empty, and I got called in pretty fast.

“Oh hi Ellie how are you? Is your arm bothering you again?” This is the same doctor who had been helping me out with my broken arm, and I got my cast removed about a week and a half ago. It was actually a little but after the beach house weekend. My arm has been feeling a lot better, and has been recovering nicely. It’s still noticeably weaker than it was but I can tell that it’s getting stronger.

“Hi Dr. Johnson, my arm is fine actually. I came in today because I haven’t been feeling very well this week and um”, I blushed before continuing “my breasts have been hurting a lot”.

“Okay well, I understand that you had a breast augmentation surgery done. Does your pain feel related to the implant popping or something similar?” I shook my head.

“No they are just really tender, and I have been feeling super nauseous, and I have thrown up a couple times this week” He nodded and recorded down my symptoms.

“Okay well I think I know what’s wrong. Are you currently sexually active?” I blushed even harder, but nodded in confirmation, “Don’t worry Ellie, it is perfectly normal and I’m sorry that I made you uncomfortable but I had to make sure”

“It’s okay, I understand. What’s wrong though?” I was a little nervous to hear his answer

He smiled at me softly, “Well I have a suspicion that you are pregnant, but I would like for you to pee in this cup just so we can make sure”

I almost had a heart attack, but I nodded and took the cup before heading off to the bathroom. When I came back to the office Dr.Johnson took the cup and went to go run the tests. My brain was running a mile a minute, and I was feeling scared, and upset at myself at the same time. Part of me was in disbelief, and I was really praying that the tests came back negative. Before I knew it Dr.Johnson walked back into the room with a gentle smile on his face.

“ Congratulations Ellie, it looks like you are in fact expecting. Do you have any idea how far along you might be? Also could you lay back, I would like to perform an ultrasound to make sure everything is going okay” I leaned back on the chair, and tried to come up with a time that we could have conceived.

“I’m sorry Doctor, I’m not too sure when it could have happened. As far as I can tell we’ve always used protection” He nodded and lifted up my shirt a little and started to rub my stomach with the wand. I looked at the black screen and he pointed out where my baby was. This was really happening, and it wasn’t some kind of sick prank.

“It looks as if you’re about a month along. Does this ring any bells?” Oh my god! Walker’s birthday was about a week ago, and I guess that night that we can’t remember we didn’t use protection. I knew we had done it, but I had no clue that we were being stupid as well.

“Actually yeah that makes sense. I just can’t believe that this is really happening” He gave me a soft pat on my thigh to reassure me. He printed off a few copies of the ultrasound for me and then cleaned off my stomach. He asked me to bring the father to the next appointment that we set up for a month from now, just so he could figure out if there would be any possible health concerns. He also prescribed me some prenatal pills, and gave me some brochures that were meant for young/new parents. I thanked him, and then I was walking back home trying not to cry.

I have no idea how I’m going to tell C.J. I know that we both wanted kids, but not this soon. As much as we love each other, we have only known each other for about 2 months now. Shifter relationships, especially ones between Alphas and Omegas move fast, but usually they don’t have to worry about getting pregnant. I wasn’t worried that C.J would abandon me, I was just worried that he would feel obligated to stay with me even if he didn’t want to. We weren’t even officially bonded yet, and I am only eighteen. How would I continue college, if I had to take care of a baby?

When I got home, I immediately called C.J and told him to pick me up because I really needed to talk to him. I’d rather not keep this from him longer than I have to. He agreed quickly, and I could hear the concern in his voice. When he showed up, I ran into his arms and burst into tears. He picked me up, and held me tight in his arms. He put me in the passenger seat, buckled me up, and took me to his apartment without saying anything. The whole drive there he kept one on his hands on my thigh to comfort me as I sniffled.

He even carried me up to the apartment without me even saying anything. I just snuggled into his neck and held on tight. When we got into the apartment he took us to the bedroom and put me down on the bed. I just looked at him and brokenly kept repeating that I was sorry.

“What’s wrong baby? You know I hate to see my little Omega so upset. I want you to be happy all the time. Why do you keep saying sorry?” He rubbed my back, and I responded to his questions by handing him a picture of the ultrasound. He grabbed it, and looked at it with wide eyes. He then turned to me as if he was asking me if I was being serious. I nodded and he pulled me into a big hug, and just whispered that we’ll be okay, and that he would take good care of me and the baby. He soothed me until I passed out from exhaustion and stress.

C.J’s POV

A baby!? When I first picked Ellie up, I was so concerned that he was very obviously distraught. We hadn’t really seen each other this week other than facetime and texts, and he seemed to be happy in those. Everything in me was just screaming to comfort our omega. Alphas hate when their Omega is in despair, and I hate seeing Ellie upset otherwise. I would have never guessed that he would tell me that he was pregnant. I had so many questions, but Ellie needs to sleep and relax. I stared down at the little black and white picture in disbelief, but I also felt a lot of joy deep down. I am going to be a father. I’m 28, and I’m finally going to have a child. I’m a little nervous as well, but I’m mostly just happy, especially since I’ll be having a baby with Ellie. I turned the picture over and saw that someone presumably the doctor had written down today’s date and the words “1 month”. I assumed that meant that Ellie was around one month along, so it was no wonder that we couldn’t notice anything. I tried to mentally trace back any events that happened a month ago. Ellie and I were pretty careful when it came to having safe sex, and I felt horrible that I had gotten him pregnant at this point in his life. While I may have been happy with the news, Ellie was certainly not as joyful. Not that I could blame him. I could only come up with the night that we had drunk sex on Walker’s birthday. I must have been so eager to show him who his Alpha was that I disregarded a condom completely. I’m pretty sure that we also had a round in the shower which would make sense to why there was no evidence that I came inside of him.

I carefully lifted up Ellie’s shirt and put my face up to his still flat stomach. I caressed it softly before giving it a kiss. I then pulled him into me so that I was spooning him, and then fell asleep with my lovely omega in my arms right where I wanted to keep him forever.
