JUNGKOOK POV

After a week of no
improvement, I asked for
a meeting with Joon and
Trenton.

I was following the healer's instructions to the letter and
had hoped to see something change.

Nothing changed.

"Thank you for taking the
time for me." I said as we
all settled in Joon's office.

I'd already turned down coffee
or tea because I didn't want to be away from my mate any longer than necessary.

But I needed their wisdom
and although Trenton was
over often at our home, I
wanted to speak with him
where Jimin and dalsu
were not within earshot.

"I know you're both busy and
our healer is already spending
so much time with our family."

"I need to know if there's
hope."

Joon sat behind his big desk
and laid his palms flat on the surface.

"Trenton, what is going on?"

"I've never seen this before, either, so we have to count
on you to tell us what to do
and what is likely to happen
from here."

Yes, that was what I meant.

But I was terrified at what I might hear.

"Yes, I need to know."

Even if it killed me.

"Am I wrong that it's worse
than it was? He swears it's
not but I think he doesn't
want me to worry."

"Well, there are new developments."

Trenton sat in the other
guest chair in front of the
desk so he was only a couple
of feet from me and the
struggle on his face was real.

But what was he struggling
with?

"Tell me please."

"Just speak, Trenton."

Joon looked more annoyed
than worried but that was probably because he was
dealing with a hundred things
at once in his position and did not have a lot of time to spend on hemming and hawing.

"Speak the truth as you
always do even when it's
hard to hear."

"You're right alpha." He bent
his neck in respect.

"We are keeping him from
pain as much as possible but
the he is not improving."

"And is not likely to for some months, The pregnancy is—"

"The...what?"

My jaw must have been on
the floor because before I
could gather myself to react
in any logical way, Joon was
on his feet.

"He's pregnant?" He reached over and grabbed my hand.

"Congratulations."

"A baby on the way."

"Why didn't you say any
thing? Jin will be thrilled."

I let him pump my hand but didn't return his enthusiasm.

It was too much to take in all
at once.

He was worse.

He was pregnant.

Were the symptoms going to
get worse? Could this kill him?

Joon looked from one of us
to the other and must have
realized that while a baby
was always welcome, there
were circumstances here
that might be a problem.

"Jungkook, did you even
know this?"

I shook my head slowly.

"No and with my mate so
sick, I need to know what
that will mean in terms of his health and the baby's health."

"Those are all tough
questions, which is why I did
not tell your omega about
the baby yet."

"First, the symptoms may get worse during the pregnancy."

"Second, your omega's
disrupted DNA could harm the fetus and third...our people
don't do the shit that caused
his illness, so we don't have
the resources to know what
to do."

"I've searched all the writings and spoken to healers in
packs who are our allies and
it's been hard to do without telling them why."

"I've tried not to reveal too
much but they aren't stupid."

"And?" Now I sounded more impatient than Joon.

"If you don't know what to do...am I going to...could I
lose him? And the baby?"

I didn't know if I'd be able
to survive that even to care
for Dalsu.

"The only thing we can do
is approach Ari's pack."

"I found some healers have heard it's not as unusual
as we thought."

"Apparently in her pack, it's
done sometimes."

"I don't know why and I don't know if they have managed
to make it work."

"If the humans who are
changed ever survive."

"But if we are going to keep
your omega alive and maybe even bring this baby through
the pregnancy to a safe
birth, we are going to have
to contact them."

"But we can't do that." I
blurted.

"They will try to make a
claim on Dalsu."

"They may make a claim on
the baby too because the
DNA in Jimin is of their pack."

"It's not all you,
Jungkook." Joon sighed.

"But I promise you now that
you and your family are pack."

"And we will do whatever is necessary to make sure you
and Jimin and Dalsu and the baby are safe."

"Alpha." Trenton cut in.

"if you want to make that statement, you'll want to
claim Jimin and his son
formally, before I contact
the other pack."

"Let's do that right away."

He was on his feet now.

"And fuck anyone who tries
to take one of our own."

But maybe fuck them after
their healer helped us keep
my mate alive.
