A Bond Beyond Time

Entry 1:

Dear Journal,

Today marks the beginning of a journey I never imagined I would embark on. I find myself in a unique and uncertain position—pregnant, carrying the child of my late alpha mate, Draken. It has been months since the tragic incident that took him away from me, but the pain still lingers, like a scar etched into my heart.

I decided to start this pregnancy journal to distract myself from the grief, to focus on the life growing within me, a testament to the love I shared with Draken. As an omega, I never thought I would experience this miracle, but fate had different plans.

Entry 2:

The first trimester has been a rollercoaster of emotions and physical changes. Morning sickness hits me like a tidal wave every morning, leaving me drained and exhausted. The scent of certain foods, which I once loved, now triggers a wave of nausea. I have to admit, I find myself missing Draken's comforting presence during these trying times.

Thankfully, my friends—Mikey, Mitsuya, and the rest of the gang—have been by my side, offering their unwavering support. They remind me that I am not alone, that the family we've built within the Tokyo Manji Gang is strong and resilient.

Entry 3:

As my belly grows, so does my anticipation and anxiety about becoming a parent. I've been reading parenting books and asking Naoto for advice on how to be the best parent possible. Naoto, always practical and caring, has been my rock throughout this journey. I am grateful for their guidance and support.

There are moments when I feel Draken's presence around me, as if he's watching over us. I can't help but talk to him, sharing my thoughts and feelings, hoping that somehow, he can hear me from wherever he is now.

Entry 4:

Today, I had my first ultrasound, and seeing the tiny heartbeat on the monitor brought tears to my eyes. This little life growing inside me is a symbol of the love I shared with Draken. I wish he could be here to witness this miracle, to hold my hand during doctor visits, and feel the joy that comes with knowing we'll soon be parents.

I've started talking to the baby, telling them stories about their father, and how brave and kind he was. I want our child to know how much he meant to me and how his love continues to shape our lives, even in his absence.

Entry 5:

As the days pass, I can feel the baby's movements getting stronger. It's like they're reminding me that they are here, and I should cherish every moment of this journey. My emotions are a mix of excitement and sorrow, knowing that Draken won't physically witness our child's birth.

But I find solace in knowing that our friends and family will be there to support us, just as they have been throughout this challenging time. I can already imagine the joyous chaos that will ensue when the baby arrives—our little family within the Tokyo Manji Gang.

Entry 6:

Today, we had a gathering at the Tokyo Manji Gang headquarters. It was a mix of celebration and reminiscing about Draken's life. Our friends shared stories about him, and I felt grateful to be surrounded by people who loved him as much as I did.

As the day came to an end, I found myself looking up at the stars, feeling a connection to the past and the future. I promised our child that I would carry Draken's legacy with pride, teaching them about the man who stole my heart and made it whole.

Entry 7:

The due date is drawing near, and I can't help but feel a mixture of excitement and trepidation. I have been trying to prepare myself mentally and emotionally for the challenges of single parenthood. But with the support of our friends and the love I carry for Draken, I know we will find a way to navigate this new chapter in our lives.
