The Solitary Alpha

72 - She's Here...

With his Omega in her final month of pregnancy and very vulnerable, Toru was constantly on high alert. Gideon had already asked Auntie and Ms. F to help her along with the Elder and Toru. There was no need for Gideon or Toru to contact the Elder during her last month. She just showed up one day. Hani was instantly drawn to her and she to him. Grammy congratulated them both on having such a loving and wonderful young Pup. During her first week there, The Elder spent a lot of time alone with Gideon as the two talked and reminisced. The Elder went over information with Gideon that she held off on teaching her the first time. Now that she was a mother, Grammy filled her in on all kinds of things. Some, Gideon found pretty far fetched, but she listened and took in everything that the Elder shared.

Gideon also asked Grammy about Hani and the little girl at daycare being Mates. For this discussion, The Omega had her Alpha join her. Sure enough, Grams said that since Ha-neul was a Prime that it was entirely possible for the two to have recognized each other as Mates at such a young age. Grammy reassured them that nothing would happen since they were still pups. But even if they were separated, the two would manage to find each other later in life. The Elder also let them know to not be surprised if the Pups could link each other already.

Toru was now working from home. He was too protective of his pregnant Omega to leave her; a natural instinct of all Alphas when their Mates were about to give birth. One night while Toru had worked late, he quietly walked into their bedroom and found Hani sleeping with Gideon, his bear resting on her huge stomach as he was curled up against it. Toru smiled, his sleeping Mate and Pup were truly the most beautiful things he would ever see. Gideon woke just long enough to smile at her Alpha. Hani usually slept on his own futon but Toru would make an exception tonight. The little one woke anyway once he picked up his dad's scent. Gideon gently caressed her Pup's hair as he got up. Toru went to carry him to his bed which was now in their room but not before he gave Gideon's belly a kiss. Hani also became very protective of his mommy and would always wind up sleeping between them.   As a precaution, Toru moved his bed into their room since he was such a wild sleeper, The Alpha didn't want to risk Hani accidentally kicking Gideon in his sleep.

"Night sissy." Hani took his teddy and walked to his sleeping pad himself. Gideon had been sleeping a lot lately, as her body readied itself for childbirth. Having her Alpha next to her helped her greatly with the discomfort she was going through. She was only allowed to leave the bed to take her medicine baths and to walk for a bit. Earlier in the day while she napped, Hani had placed flower petals on her belly and was softly purring as she held him. Toru was amazed that he could purr. Gideon let him know that he didn't need an Alpha to purr and it was something all Primes could do when they were happy, if they chose to and were in a safe place. Hani was purring for his little sissy.

Toru and the other's couldn't get over how loving and tender Hani was with everyone, well with his family. Just like Gideon; strangers he wanted nothing to do with, Toru figured it was a Prime thing.

The day had finally arrived. 

 Gideon asked Toru to tell her dad to send for the others. The Alpha remained surprisingly calm as his Omega started going into labor. Gideon's labor was a hard one and lasted for most of the day. With her Alpha by her side she was able to manage. Hani was allowed to stay with her until the actual birth began to take place.  Even the Elder was surprised at how attentive and caring Toru was for his Omega.  The Alpha never left her and refused for anyone else to come into the birthing room.  He constantly rubbed his Mate's back and growled a low, comforting growl to help ease her labor pains when the got too much for her.
