The Solitary Alpha

68 - The Resting Omega

Gideon slept through the night and was still asleep after the others enjoyed breakfast. Hani wanted to go and play with his friends. Toru agreed and the two of them dressed in the adjacent bedroom so they wouldn't wake the sleeping Omega. All ready to go, Toru asked auntie to keep watch over Gideon while he and uncle Ube walked Hani to the daycare down the street. Auntie was glad to watch over her and would check on her after cleaning up from breakfast.

Toru and Ube walked quietly down the road as Hani skipped and jumped in front of them. He was happy to return to his friends again and couldn't wait to play with them.

"Uncle?"

"Yes Toru?"

"I need to head up to the woods around the cabin. I need to catch a rabbit or something for Gideon to eat. She hasn't really been eating since she became pregnant."

"I see. It's a good idea, she must keep her food intake up with the baby. It will require a lot from her during the next two months. Go when you return to the house. Auntie and I will take care of her and Pup while you're gone."

"Thank you. You know Uncle, if you and Auntie should ever need anything, I hope you will let me know."

"No my boy, we're fine. Other than your auntie's health, we're fine."

Toru stopped in the middle of the road, he didn't know anything was wrong with her. "What's wrong with auntie?"

Ube lowered his head, then turned to look at him. "She's dying my boy." Ube turned and continued his walk.

Back at the house, auntie had finished cleaning the kitchen and opened the house back up. She loved having fresh air everywhere. She returned to the kitchen to make some tea for Gideon. Kettle on the stove, auntie went to check on the sleeping Omega. She gasped as there were now numerous blue butterflies flying around her. Midori couldn't help but shed a few tears of joy. Toru's mother really was present in the house now that Gideon was there. One of the butterflies sailed over to her and landed on her nose briefly. She giggled and left to return to the stove. Feeling a sharp pain, she stopped and grabbed the wall for support. She thought she would fall but she soon felt a delicate embrace from behind and felt intense heat from the hands that held her. Regaining her strength, she turned to see the beautiful golden gaze of the Prime Omega.

Gideon wrapped her a gentle hug as her scent shifted and she began to purr. Auntie knew what she was doing and began to cry once again, this time out of gratitude. Gideon slowly pulled away and looked auntie in the eye, the gold now shimmering. The Omega gave her soft smile, the tears of the Elder fading.

"I love you Auntie." Gideon gave her another hug.

"I love you too my dearest. Thank you, thank you."

The two shared a tender moment before they headed to the kitchen. Gideon took a seat as the healing had made her weak again but she didn't want to say so. Returning to the table, auntie sat the tea cup in front of Gideon who slowly sipped it.

"You didn't have to do that my dear. I've had a happy life."

"I know, but you're family. Our secret?"

"Our secret my dear."

"Auntie?"

"Hmm?"

"Will you help me deliver the baby?"

Auntie had no words as tears began to flow again. Helping deliver an Omega's first born was a huge deal and reserved only for close female family members and their Alpha.

"Yes! Oh my Yes! I'd love to help. But you'll need one more."

"My Elder Grammy will help. So it will be you, her and Toru."
