Page 29 of My Omega's Dream

At the mention of food, Avery’s face turns pale and he runs deeper into the house. Ellie turns towards me with a frown. “What’s going on?”

I shrug. “He’s been sick all the way home.”

“Home?” Ellie asks, raising her brow at me. “Interesting. We aresogoing to be talking about that, but first, I think maybe we should check on Avery and make sure he’s okay.”

“Umm? Yeah. Sounds good.”

I follow behind Ellie through the house, taking everything in. It smells so good inside Avery’s house and I find my mind drifting ever so slightly, thinking about how nice it’ll be once my scent is here as well, mixing with Avery’s.

Ellie points at a door, telling me I can drop the bags off there. I step inside and realize this is the bedroom. I put the bags on the floor and head back out, following the sound of Ellie’s voice.

“Oh, babe,” Ellie is murmuring softly. “It’s okay, get it all out.”

Avery says something but it’s so muffled I can’t make it out.

“No, this isn’t food poisoning. You’re gonna be experiencing this for the next few months.”

“What?”

“Yeah, Avery. I can smell it. You’re pregnant.”

The words make me freeze. Pregnant? No, that can’t be right. Sure, we were having quite a lot of sex before leaving the cabin, but that doesn’t mean Avery is pregnant. He wasn’t even in heat as far as I could tell.

The more I think about it, the more the truth settles. Avery is pregnant. He’s pregnant with my baby. We’re going to be a family.

I’m terrified and elated at the same time. My head is light and my knees are weak but the only thing I want to do is hold Averyin my arms and tell him everything is going to be okay. Sure, this is all fast as fuck, but that doesn’t matter. I’m here and I’m planning on staying for the long haul. I’m staying for as long as he’ll let me.

All of my fears fall away. I will never make my child feel the way my old pack made me feel. I’m here for as long as he’ll have me, there’s no going back. I’m here until Avery turns me away. This might have all gone ridiculously quickly but I don’t care. Call it true mates. Call it divine intervention. All I know is that my feelings arereal. Avery is my omega, I am his alpha, and we’re going to have a family together.

I’m no longer afraid.

I step into the bathroom. “Avery?”

Avery looks up at me from his place on the bathroom floor. There are tears in his eyes and my heart shatters. I get on my knees in front of him, gently touching his face. I use my thumbs to wipe away his tears.

“Hey, you’re okay,” I whisper, leaning forward and kissing his cheek. “We’re okay. We’ll get through this. I’m not going anywhere.”

“You don’t want to run?”

“No,” I say right away. We have so much to talk about and plan but right now, we need to be on the same page. “I’m all in, Avery. I want you and I want this baby.” I swallow around the lump in my throat. I lick my lips, trying to get them to stop feeling so fucking dry. “I even want this pack,” I confess softly.

Avery pulls me into a tight hug, squeezing me until I’m breathless. When we pull away, I cup his face once more. “Everything is gonna be okay.”

He nods. “Are you happy?”

I finally allow myself to smile. “Yes. I’m so happy, baby.”

“Me too.”

“Well, now that we’ve got that squared away,” Ellie says from the doorway. “Can I please properly interrogate Frost?”

Avery and I both chuckle. I carefully help him up and hold him around the waist as we walk into the living room. We spend the rest of the day cuddled up on the couch, answering each and every one of Ellie’s questions. By the time she leaves, I already like her. I’m glad that Avery has had such a fiercely loyal friend at his side. The three of us fit together and I can only hope that the rest of the pack will agree that I fit as well.

Chapter fifteen

Avery

Awistful sigh leaves my lips and I look over at Frost. “Have you seen those adorable baby reveals that humans get to do? I’m so jealous. Everyone automatically knows because they can smell the baby.”
