Brothers

17

Yeosang bites his lip as he waits for the test results on the little plastic stick. Usually, a wolf would've sensed that they're pregnant or would show symptoms that they're possibly pregnant. But it's been almost two months since he's been knotted last and he's not showing any signs of being pregnant.

It worried him honestly.

What kind of Omega can't have pups? What kind of Omega is he if he can't carry on the bloodline for Mingi? These thoughts get the best of him, and throw him into depressive moods to where he doesn't want to leave the bedroom.

Granted Mingi wanted them to be on suppressants, especially Hongjoong. The Beta was given special suppressants to prevent him from getting pregnant, and for also prevent him from getting Seonghwa or Yeosang pregnant. It was a precaution Mingi wanted to take, he would love to have more pups one day but after Ana was at least two.

But Yeosang knew Mingi had knotted him before Hongjoong had even joined their pack, and he knows something isn't right. He should be pregnant at least a couple of months or even three months along... but he's not.

Everyone has taken notice of the Omega's behavior, and Seonghwa was the first one to step up and ask what was wrong. It hurt him to see Yeosang ignoring them all when they have movie night, or when they tend to the kitchen or gardens. Or even when the Omega takes Ana from someone just to play with her or even cuddle her.

He won't even go around her now.

Seonghwa had ahold of the five month old on his hip, he knocks on the door as Ana coos and chews on her bib she had on. Seonghwa had just finished feeding her homemade baby food and breast milk, he's trying to cut her off from feeding from him since she's cutting a small tooth and it hurts when she feeds. He waited for a response, but when he didn't get one, he opens the door to see Yeosang standing in front of a full length mirror, his shirt lifted up and his flat belly on display.

Seonghwa freezes as Yeosang quickly pulls his shirt down, grabbing a shirt from the bed and hiding the tests. Seonghwa smiles softly, walking towards him, "Are you...."

Yeosang hesitated, looking away from the Luna and back to the mirror. Seonghwa takes his hand into his own and squeezes it gently, "Sangie, if you are pregnant that's great-"

"I-I don't think I am..." Yeosang breaks in, swallowing the lump in his throat as he takes in a deep breath, "I've been knotted four times by Mingi, and before we were put on suppressants I was knotted twice. I never showed signs of being pregnant, so I'm hoping..." he looks at the T-shirt and reveals the tests.

Seonghwa looks down at them and seen the negative sign flashing on the small screen. He frowns, "Maybe... maybe your wolf isn't ready yet-"

"I'm broken," Yeosang whimpers, "Hwa, what if I can't get pregnant? Mingi will kick me out and then I'll be a rogue again," he sobs, covering his mouth with his hand and tries to muffle them.

"You are not broken," Seonghwa spoke sternly, cupping Yeosang's cheek with a free hand while adjusting Ana on the other, "Just because you didn't get pregnant instantly from Mingi's knot doesn't mean you're broken or unable to have pups. It may just not be the right time for your wolf and they're rejecting the pregnancy. Or it may be..."

"It's my body," Yeosang whispers, "Just say it Hwa. It's my body."

"We don't know that," Seonghwa spoke softly, brushing a thumb against Yeosang's birthmark on his cheek, "Let's get a midwife out here to check on you okay? And even if you can't have pups... Mingi won't desert you."

"You don't know that," Yeosang snaps, "You gave him a pup. You know you can have them. Me, I've only been with Mingi and I still haven't gotten pregnant. What if I can't? He'll see me as a waste of space-"

Ana squeals excitedly at her bib she had gripped in her hands, staring at it with her wide blue eyes before grinning adorably. She waves her little fists in the air as she giggles, then looks to her mother before grinning at Yeosang. The upset Omega pouts before biting his lip, "Can I..."

Seonghwa smiles and hands the baby over to him, Ana instantly cuddles into his chest with a content hum. Yeosang sniffles, laying his cheek against her dark hair as the tears lightly pour out of his eyes. Seonghwa smiles softly at the sight before kissing both of their heads, "Talk to Mingi, he'll understand."

He turns and leaves the room with Ana in his arms, the baby coos as she chews on Yeosang's necklace. The Omega sighs before looking down at her. She was so pretty, a perfect mixture of her parents although he sees more Mingi in her than Seonghwa. He wondered what his baby would look like if he and Mingi had one... if he could even have one...

Yeosang, where are you?

Yeosang tenses at the urgent tone in Mingi's voice, My room.

Is Anastasia with you?

Yes. What's going on Mingi?

Someone entered the territory. Mingi growls, Seonghwa will be in there. Both of you stay put and when you hear my warning hide.

Yeosang's heart was racing and soon Seonghwa stepped in the room, shutting the door behind him and locking it. He turns back to Yeosang, "Stay calm, I'm sure Mingi can scare whoever it is off."

"Is he going by himself?" Yeosang asks shakily.

"Yes. Hongjoong stayed back just in case. But if it escalates..." he takes a deep breath before shaking his head and going over to his daughter. He smiles at her, tickling her cheek which made her giggle, "I'm sure everything will be okay."

Mingi shifts as soon as he walks out the front door, running to where he can sense the intruder. He tried to keep a calm mind, whoever it is he can easily ask to leave. If it's an Alpha, and they mean no harm, he will let them pass. If it's an Omega or Beta, he can possibly allow them in his pack. Otherwise if it's an Alpha posing a threat... he won't have no choice but to be forceful.

He stops suddenly when he notices the scent. Alpha. But it smelt of... burning wood? His tail wags, could it be his brother coming to visit? He trots forward, excited to see Jongho and seeing how his brother is doing. Maybe his father sent him to find his territory? Maybe he's mated?

He stops when he heard a snarl, looking at the direction when he seen his brother's black and white patchy wolf standing in the middle of a field. His tail wags and he sits, yapping at Jongho in excitement.

But when he notices that Jongho isn't standing down, that he's actually charging with a snarl. His eyes flash red and catches sight of the three wolves behind him. Mingi snarls, crouching down and pounces on Jongho's black and white speckled wolf just as he slammed into him hard.
