Also in response to this prompt I got years ago and am only now responding to. I will admit to having fudged it a little. Sorry it took so long @lissieisspacey
When he got to his late teens and hadn't had a secondary puberty, Adam had been glad.
He wasn’t sure how, or if, he would have been able to cope if he had. Trying to consider how his life may have been had he presented as alpha or omega, made him anxious. Growing up had been hard enough during those years, with his mom dying and Adam navigating a neuro-typical world without her help.
Going through a secondary puberty would have been traumatic, much less anything that followed. Seeing his father struggle once his mom was gone was bad enough. He’d had to leave Adam with Harlan and check into heat clinics, before he finally went on suppressants, which had made him really sick for a while. It had been hard enough to watch someone go through it, Adam couldn’t even begin to imagine what it would be like to experience first hand.
He had been relieved to remain a beta. He had been even more glad to meet another beta who loved him for who he was in a world where everyone seemed to covet an omega.
Adam had felt the luckiest man alive the first time Nigel had kissed him. The first time he had really understood that there was love between them. He hadn’t looked back since. It was like they were made for each other and nothing would ever shake that.
Or so he thought.
As he watched Nigel cradle the baby in his arms, cooing and smiling as she played with the fingers he pressed into her tiny hand, Adam felt sad. It wasn’t jealousy, it just made Adam realise something that he had tried never to think about.
If he was an omega, he could have had a baby for Nigel.
