helpless

i have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight

[graysonharford-deactivated20160]

To say Grayson was shocked would be a bit of an understatement. He figured the other would say all the pictures were horrible. If anything, fair. But hearing Atticus thought they were good brought a smile to Grayson’s face. “Thank you,” he said as he took the camera back. “I might just keep trying at this and see what happens. I think I might start taking pictures of people—they’re much more interesting.” Raising the camera, he turned to face Atticus and focused the lens. “I think you see the subtle things of a person that makes them beautiful in pictures.”

Atticus was glad he could give Grayson some confidence. He really did think they were good and hoped the other omega would see what he saw. When he raised the camera to take a picture of him, Atticus shook his head. “No. No pictures. I look fat,” he said, turning his face away. He didn’t want his picture taken when he looked so huge and puffy basically all over. Taking pictures of people was a good idea, but he didn’t want to be a model.

Jordan laughed to himself as he watched the other omega “I won’t say anything, I promise. I’ll back you up if any of those moms get weirded out” he still found it a bit strange for the omega to be sitting here watching these families, but he was never pregnant so he couldn’t judge. “Why are you watching them? Isn’t there like a parenting class you can take?” 

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

“Thank you,” Atticus said quietly. He didn’t understand why the other omega was willing to help him out in this situation. He had been kind of a jerk to him at the store all those days ago. His question made Atticus’ eyes drift to the people at the park once more. “I don’t have the money for parenting classes. Besides, seeing it in action is better than some simulation.”

Dominic sighed. Atticus was already this far along and he hadn’t been doing anything of the proper things and omega should do, hell Dominic didn’t even know what half of things were. His baby and Atticus hadn’t even seen a doctor, his- Dominic made a ‘huh’ noise in the back of his throat surprised at him self and how possessive he was being. 

“I can get you the vitamins, and you’re going to the doctor.” He looked at the omega pointedly. “I’ll pay.” His eyes softened, one hand moved as if to pat the omega’s knee but instead it set down right in his lap. “I’ll go with you.”

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

Atticus’ mind was telling him to turn down the offer. Accepting help from Dominic meant that he really did want help from him and wanted him to be there. He was trying to be strong and deny all of that. The alpha being nice and realistic put a damper on all of those feelings. In a strange turn of events, Dominic actually did want to help him.

“Fine, I’ll go,” he gave in, looking down at Dominic’s hand in his lap. He sighed and grabbed his large hand in his smaller ones. He placed it gently on his belly, finding the spot where the baby kicked the most. Almost the second he placed it there, a small kick came from his belly right where the older man’s hand was.

[alpha-flowers-blog]

“I think that it’s already a bit too late for me to have nothing to do with my- you’re baby.” Dominic corrected himself, following the omegas lead. Now that was novel, but he was the one here with a belly full of pup. 

“At least tell me you’ve seen a doctor by now?” Dominic didn’t try to contest Atticus about it ‘not being his thing’ it wasn’t his thing. He wasn’t in the habit of wanting to nest or start family’s but- But, it was his baby. That was a big but. “You taking regular vitamins?”

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

The truth was, Atticus had been too nervous and ashamed to see a doctor yet. He was halfway through his pregnancy and he had yet to see a doctor. He knew what they thought about unmated omegas. He couldn’t take anymore stigma that went along with this. He already was a pariah. He didn’t want to add to the list.

He shook his head. “I haven’t seen the doctor, no,” he answered, looking down at his belly. His eyes moved back to Dominic. “So I don’t have any of those vitamins or whatever. I’m too nervous and I don’t have the money,” he explained. The last part was also incredibly true. He couldn’t pay his bills and see a doctor. He needed food and electricity more than he needed vitamins.

[alpha-flowers-blog]

“Right.” Dominic nodded, placidly. Of course he was, part of him wanted to ask if the omega was sure but most of him knew that was a wasted train of though. If the omega was going to lie to try and bilk him for money and support he would have come to Dominic earlier on, why do it through random happenstance. If the omega was unsure then he would have said so. The alpha finished off his cone, crunching away at the crisp wafer. He had to have been expecting something like this could happen, they’d been sloppy.

“So, when were you planning on telling me? Or were you hoping to just surprise me with a baby?” Two fingers went to his temple and rubbed at pain that had nothing to do with brain freeze. He sighed. “Was it really that scary to think of calling me up?”

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

While waiting for Dominic’s questions, Atticus finished off his ice cream. When he was finally presented with those questions, he sat up so his back was straight again the bench. His hand fell to his belly and he sighed. “I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t think you wanted anything to do with my baby,” he admitted, truthfully. Dominic wasn’t really the fatherly looking type after all.

He paused before continuing. “I know this isn’t your thing so I wasn’t going to tell you about it or even have you see the baby. We had fun a few times and now I’m having a baby. You’re not,” he explained. He never kidded himself into thinking that the alpha wanted anything to do with their child. He had resigned himself to single motherhood from the moment he realized his condition.

[alpha-flowers-blog]

“Don’t mention it, really.” Dominic mouthed over his own ice cream, content to wolf the sweet stuff down weither or not he got a brain freeze. He had more on his mind then slight discomfort. He scooted in closer on the bench.

“I’d ask you how you’re doing but I think part of that is obvious.” Dominic raised his eyebrows, eyes directed to the rounded stomach of the omega. “So,” Dominic paused to eat another bit of his vanilla cone, taking his time to chew and swallow. Any excuse to avoid the talk he knew had to come. “Who’s the father?”

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

Atticus’ stomach was in knots and he knew it wasn’t because of the baby this time. He ate his ice cream quietly while he waited for the question he knew was coming. He gave a small shrug when Dominic assumed correctly that he wasn’t doing fantastic. Being pregnant wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t ideal either. He wouldn’t trade his baby for the world though.

The question finally came and Atticus lowered his cone. “You are,” he answered, looking back at the alpha. He was waiting for all of the questions. He knew he would get an angry reaction for not telling him. He didn’t know how to though. Part of him was sure that Dominic wouldn’t care so why tell him in the first place?

“Then I would turn your head before one of those moms think you are” Jordan watched from where he rested his head as the other omega touched his belly. It took Jordan a second to make the connection, but eventually he figured out what the omega was actually watching. He turned to look at the kids across the park and laughed “Wait, I get it”

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

Atticus looked down at his protruding stomach and then back at Jordan. “Can you like not tell anyone that I am doing this then? It’s really weird,” he said, knowing it was strange to watch mothers with their children. He wanted to see what it would take to be a good mother. He wanted to be perfect for his baby and some of these moms were amazing.

Grayson laughed, turning on the camera and going to the library of pictures before he held it out to Atticus so the other could look through them. “Just a few pictures of trees, flowers, and some of the buildings. There’s this one in there I think is actually really cool of a water drop on this rusty bike I saw earlier. That’s the only good one in there really.” He ran a hand through his hair, nervously tugging on the ends. “I should really just go back to knitting, to be honest.”

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

Atticus gently took the camera and scanned through the pictures. They were actually really good despite what Grayson said about them. He liked all of them and definitely thought it was something the other omega should pursue. “They’re really good, Grayson,” he said as he handed the camera back to him. “I mean, you can go back to knitting, but I think you should try photography. They’re good!”

[alpha-flowers-blog]

“Uh, yeah sure.” Dominic looked down at the omega. The scent and look of Atticus was unmistakably different. “I’d love to.” Unmistakable. How had he not noticed before, it was just so noticeable. The omega was pregnant. 

“Here I got you something.” He’d seen the omega from far away at first, and Atticus had been underneath him enough times that the back of his head became familiar to Dominic. Dom had stopped by a park vendor before walking over. He took Cade’s suggestions to heart, buy and omega gifts of food, jewelry, clothes; starting with a small ice cream cone for a brooding omega he stumbled on in the park. He hadn’t quite expected the omega to be this brooding.

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

Atticus was surprised that Dominic was the person next to him. He looked at his face and then at the ice cream he was handing him. In the state he was in, Atticus could never turned down ice cream. He took the cone gently, not making eye contact with the alpha quite yet. He did, however, as he took a lick from the cone. It was sweet and so satisfying.

He put his free hand on his belly as he moved over to allow Dominic more room to sit. “Thank you,” he said, nodding at the ice cream cone in his hand. He took another lick, knowing that it was hot outside and it would melt if he didn’t eat it fast. He was trying to come up with something to say to Dominic but there were no words. What did you say to the father of your baby when he was just finding out halfway in?

[graysonharford-deactivated20160]

“I’m glad to hear it! If anyone in this town should be doing good, it should be you.” Grayson was rather fond of Atticus. Maybe it was just because the other was once so distant from him, but the more he talked to Atticus and got to know him, the more he liked the other omega. “I’m dong okay. My heat is about to start which is always bittersweet.” Gray looked down at the camera in his lap, fingers brushing over the top of it. “I wasn’t really until recently. I found it in the basement of my parents’ place and thought I’d play around with it. I’ve been kind of bored lately and I never do good when I’m bored. A restless Grayson is not a happy Grayson.”

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

“Thank you,” Atticus said with a small smile. That quickly turned into a tiny frown when Grayson said he was going to be going into heat soon. Being in heat was never fun, especially if you didn’t have a mate. He wasn’t sure about Grayson’s mating situation and he was far too awkward to ask. Instead, he switched his brain to Grayson’s camera, a much safer topic. “I can imagine that is not a good combination. What have you taken pictures of so far?” he asked, curiously.

[graysonharford-deactivated20160]

The camera hung heavy at his neck until Grayson lifted it up to flip through a few of the pictures he’d taken. It wasn’t the nicest camera, an old thing he’d dug out from his parents’ basement when they’d offered to give him anything he found useless down there. The camera had caught his interest and he’d been playing around with it ever since. The pictures he’d taken were okay, but Grayson wanted to keep messing around with the settings.

He stood up from where he’d been knelt down in the grass and started walking, the sound of kids yelling and running around making him look up. Gray smiled at the sight, always a fan of children. It was when his eyes moved away that he saw someone familiar sitting on a bench nearby. Grayson bounced over, smiling at Atticus. “Sure. I actually wanted to come say hi, see how you are.” Grayson sat down, setting the camera safely on his lap.

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

Atticus was happy that it was Grayson who sat down beside him. It was a friend and not a random stranger that he’d feel obligated to talk to about the weather or something else superficial. Instead, it was one of the few people he really got along with. It was a short list, and not surprisingly, Grayson was near the top. He moved over happily when he joined him, holding his protruding belly tightly as he did so.

“I’m actually doing pretty well,” he answered. He was surprised himself at how well he was doing. His life still wasn’t thrilling, but he was happy for a change. Maybe Grayson was finally rubbing off on him. “How about you? I didn’t know you were into photography...”

The bruises on Jordan’s body still ached from the other night, but he was tired of sitting around his apartment. In the few days he had remained home, he realized that he should take Carlos’ advice and make his home homier. There was absolutely nothing to do or eat, so he had set out to run some errands and get some fresh air. He took a seat on the bench for a short rest, pulling his knees to his chest and resting his head on them “I see you’ve moved from constantly watching your customers to watching children. I recommend you go back to the first because this is way creepier”

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

Atticus looked at who was sitting next to him and remembered him as the kid from the store who tried to steal from him. He resisted an eyeroll and scooted over to give him more room. His snarky comment made Atticus smirk and shake his head. “I’m not watching the kids, I’ll have you know,” he said while subconsciously putting a hand on his belly. He knew he looked creepy, but he really wasn’t staring at the children. He had practically no interest in them.

Barry was out for a run at the park. He had been slacking off on his routine lately and had noticed that it was starting to take effect. he could barely run up two fight of stairs without running out of breath. Maybe allotting a little time everyday for a short run could help, 

He had been going for half an hour now and thought it was about time he took a short break. Looking around, he noticed a free seat on one of the benches and hesitantly walked towards it. He noticed the other person already sitting there but sighed in relief when the seat was offered to him before he could even ask. “Sure, if you don’t mind?”

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

Atticus scooted over on the bench to allow the runner to sit down. He tried to think of things to say to strike up a conversation. He wasn’t particularly good at that and his attempts at small talk usually fell flat. He kept reminding himself that he was a new Atticus. He need to be warmer and friendlier. Especially if he had a baby on the way.

“It’s a nice day,” he said, looking up at the sky. He was sure that was something people said. It was pretty nice outside after all. Though it never got terribly cold in the winter, the summers in Carwood were beautiful. It was nice and warm and the perfect time to be outside at the park.

Atticus finally came down from his orgasm, Dominic’s hands and lips comforting him as he did so. He sighed, finally content after receiving the alpha’s knot. He was definitely sore after all of that. Maybe he was even more sore than he had been the last time they were together. A small whimper left his lips as Dominic pulled away from him and started cleaning up the store.

The omega stood from the counter, completely naked and fucked out. His limbs felt weak like he couldn’t walk if he tried. He was surprised when the older male wrapped a blanket around him and told him he would drive him home. All he did was nod and move closer to him.

Atticus had no idea what any of this meant. Dominic was actually caring for him. He was giving him protective attention that he hadn’t received the last time they were together. Maybe Atticus really did smell different. And maybe that difference really had a profound effect on the alpha. He would never know.

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

Atticus was tired. He was actually beyond tired. He was more tired than he had ever been in his entire life. Being pregnant was taking a toll on his body. Thankfully, the morning sickness had stopped but he was still stuck with swollen feet and back pain. Working full time also wasn’t helping. He left every day in so much pain that he wanted to take a bath in ice. Being this tired made him question why he was at the park at that very moment.

He was seated at one of the benches, looking towards the playground. He wasn’t being weird or creepy. Instead, he was watching how the mothers there interacted with their children. He tried the imagine himself in that situation with his own baby. It was easier to imagine now that the baby was growing. He smiled at the sight before noticing someone walk over to the bench. He looked up and smiled again. “Did you want to sit?” he asked, being uncharacteristically nice.

The omega wasn't about to turn down Dominic's request to be called alpha. He groaned and gripped the older man's shoulders tight. "Your knot feels so good, alpha. My hole was made for your huge, amazing knot," he mumbled as he was fucked into. He finally felt the other start to cum inside of him, making him see stars. "Alpha..."

The alpha's cum was enough to send Atticus over the edge again. His cock throbbed weakly as his muscles contracted. He felt his orgasm from the top of his head to the tips of his toes. He spasmed underneath Dominic, his body finally starting to feel all of his consecutive orgasms. Nothing was keeping him from passing out, but he held on regardless, watching as the alpha experienced his pleasure.
