Now, I was completely and utterly on my own. There were options, though the doctor hadn’t mentioned them. Probably because the idea of an omega terminating their pregnancy seemed insane to most. Omegas were built to be maternal and caring. They wanted babies.

Personally, I wanted a family more than anything. I loved the idea of having children, just not before I finished my degree. There were so many things I wanted to complete before I moved on with my life.

My hand rested on my stomach as I curled into a ball. There was a life in there. In a few short months, I would be bringing a human being into the world. Terminating wasn’t an option for me. While I respected anyone who chose that, I just couldn’t do it personally.

I wanted children.

Once that sank in, the tears started. Shoving my face into the pillow, I sobbed loudly.

I cried for everything I was about to lose and everything I was about to gain.

My grandfather had left me a small trust fund. It wasn’t much, but it would be enough to keep me afloat as I gave birth and for the first year or two of my child’s life, so even when my parents undoubtedly disowned me, I would be okay for a while. Financially, at least.

This child was going to be loved; there was no question about that. I wanted to give them all the care and attention that my parents hadn’t given me. They had been more concerned with parties and looking good for society, instead of spending time with their child. My baby was going to be raised with all the attention and affection they needed.

Everything was about to get more difficult. Going to classes with morning sickness and trying to keep up with my classwork until I gave birth was going to be a nightmare.

Only, there was no need for me to be alone.

Looking up at the ceiling, I sighed.

I needed to talk to the fathers.

Fuck me.

Chapter 10

Seb

Something was wrong with Hazel.

She hadn’t been doing well for a while, and when she agreed to go to the student health center, I knew she had to be feeling truly shitty. Hazel was stubborn and hated doctors, avoiding them whenever she could. A couple months ago, she had been feeling so sick, she had willingly gone home for the weekend to see her family doctor.

I knew she’d felt really bad if she’d willingly gone home.

Throwing my clothes on after the quickest post-practice shower I’d had in a while, I grabbed my things.

“Where’s the fire?” my teammate, Teddy asked. He was sitting on the bench, wearing only a towel, as he leaned back, the picture of relaxation.

“Hazel’s not been very well. I want to go check on her.”

“You know you need to make a move when it comes to her, right? You’ve been making moon eyes at her for years.”

I rolled my eyes. My feelings for Hazel were deep, but that’s because we were best friends. There was love there, but it wasn’t romantic love.

“A man and a woman can be best friends, you know?”

“Not an alpha male and an omega female, it’s just weird. You just need to be decisive. Make a power move.”

I laughed, throwing a jersey at him. “Not all of us can use Daddy’s money to trick a pretty omega into coming to college.”

Teddy shrugged. “It worked out well for me, didn’t it?”

“Didn’t she nearly fry your balls off?” I asked. He had spent the better part of a week hobbling around, desperately clutching at his junk.

“She did. It was the hottest goddamn thing I ever experienced.” He smirked.

“Has anyone ever told you you’re fucked in the head?” Dylan asked as he closed his locker.
