I'M ALIVE! I have missed a few tags this week and I do apologize, but I really haven't worked on anything. Haven't been too inspired and life has been...okay. Just been a little down lately and I'm dealing with some issues with my daughter's therapy, my future job prospects, and playing phone hopscotch trying to get a consult for my daughter to have tubes put into her ears (she has had yet another ear infection and I'm so worried its going to affect her hearing.)
This is from my a/b/o mpreg kidnapped Buck fic. I've hit a bit of a standstill with it, but hopefully I can find the will and the inspiration to continue on because I have so much I want to do with this fic, but I'm just stuck transitioning from one point to the next. Enjoy!
Work had been hard for Eddie with a different partner every few weeks, Christopher was going through a somewhat painful growth spurt, they knew they were being watched, Doug hadn’t been caught, and Shannon was stressed about the secret she was keeping. Not mention the underlying worry and sadness for Buck and Maddie.
Shannon knew Eddie was sensing her keeping something from him and she had this ball of twisted anger at him for basically cheating on her (even though she had a handful of lovers during their time apart, but none she impregnated). Add on the fact that they’re both stubborn alphas, eventually it all boils over into more and more frequent fights.
Her freshly poured shot is knocked back.
“Should you really be doing that while pregnant?” A deep voice asked with some actual concern.
A small inhale of air and Shannon immediately clocked the nosy male as an alpha.
Whipping around she glared at the alpha, taking in his appearance. Dirty blond hair, thick black glasses overlaying green eyes, slightly muscular, with general handsome features. He looked truly concerned, but there was no judgement. Shannon could understand the mix up, considering she was sitting there with a ‘It’s a blank’ announcement card.
She chuckled dryly, “I’m not pregnant.”
“Oh, should I be congratulating you then? Or giving you condolences?” He tipped his head to side in curiosity.
Another chuckle, “I have no fucking clue. My mate is having a baby, but not with me.”
Green eyes widen in surprise, “Your mate cheated on you and knocked them up?” He let out a low whistle, “No wonder you’re shooting that tequila so hard.”
“See that’s the thing. We were separated when it happened, and he was just helping out an omega going through their heat. And then we got back together, the omega left. Life was good. Then a letter shows up months ago for my mate telling him that they're pregnant.” Shannon ranted.
“I’m going to take a shot in the dark and guess, he doesn’t know.”
The female alpha buried her face in her hands, “No. And I’ve been intercepting every letter since. This one,” she pushed the letter and announcement card over with her elbow, “Came today.”
Nearby she heard the rustling of paper and patiently waited for him to read through it. Why she was spilling her guts and sharing her secrets with a stranger, Shannon didn’t know. But she’d been harboring this secret for too long and God did it feel good to get it off her chest and be able to let out a little of her inner turmoil. And this stranger means nothing gets back to Eddie.
“So, this Buck, is hiding out with his sister from her mate. Do you even know where?” Blond stranger asked.
She should really get a name, so Shannon knew who to thank for letting her fall her apart just a little. “No clue.” She slapped one hand down and pushed the other out for a handshake, “I’m Shannon by the way.”
A smooth, but strong grip greets hers, “Jason. How about another round on me. I get the feeling that you need an open ear and little to no comment.”
