Story bits

they stood on the edge of the ship, side by side.
"Scared?" Keith asked, glancing to the right. "Are you?" James asked, turning his head towards him.

Keith stayed silent.
James smiled softly and extended his hand out to him, palm up. "Together?" He asked as the doors opened. Keith smiled, taking it. "Always."
Then, they jumped.

"We're also going to be testing how focused you can say. So, James, strip." Pidge orders. "I'm sorry, what?" "We're testing how focused everyone can stay in a fight. So strip. Shirt off." "Um, ok." He peels his shirt off, and Keith, Ryan and Lance's faces go pink.
Keith has a smirk on his face and is eyeing James up and down appreciatively. Ryan's jaw has dropped, and Lance is covering his face with his hands, his eyes peeking out.
James, in only short and tennis shoes, is stunning. Defined muscles line his body, almost like a Greek statue.

It takes seconds for James to take down Lance. A few minutes to chokehold Ryan. But watching him and Keith fight is like watching a dance. Dodging, exchanging and glancing blows. He, after Keith kicked him did some kind of handspring things where he kicked Keith square in the chest, knocking him down. He landed forward, straddling Keith's hips and pinning his wrists above his head. He smirked down at him, a first for the week. "I win." He said cheekily. "That's, what, 148 to nothing?" Keith huffed, jutting his lower lip out in a pout. "No fair." "All's fair in love and war." James retorted, letting go of Keith's wrist to rest his hands on his chest instead. "You're still favoring your left. And even though your initial hits are good, you're still lacking on your follow through."
"But I don't want to accidentally hurt you." Keith admits softly. "You could never hurt me." James mutters.

"James is..." Keith chuckled. "I don't know what exactly he is to me. He- I know he's important. And that I- I care about him a lot. But I'm not sure if I want to know just how much. I don't want to hurt him, and I-" Keith sighed. "I can't lose him."

"Keith, couldyouhelpmewithmyrut?" James asked. Keith blinked a few times, then blushed. "Um, yeah. Yeah, I will." It was the first time James had asked Keith to help him. The two Alphas had been together, but never during one of their ruts. Keith's last one had been before they started dating, as had James's.
James smelled intoxicating. Keith already felt a tent forming in his boxers. "Keith." James moaned, withering in his bed. Much to Keith's surprise, instead of rutting into the sheets, he had a vibrator in his ass. He was plunging it into himself, which made the Alpha in Keith want to take him. James's breath hitched and he arched him back, letting out another moan. "K-Keith!" He cried out. "James?" He crept closer to the bed, trying to ignore his aching hardon. "K-Keith, please." He whimpered. "Please what?" He asked, caressing his cheek. "Fuck me." James demanded. Keith pressed a tender kiss to his lips before pulling away, stripping quickly. He crawled over James, pressing another kiss to his lips. He pulled the vibrator from his hole, causing James to whimper. "Keith, please."
Keith pressed a few fingers inside of him, surprised by how loose he already was. He massaged his prostrate gently, and he let out a loud moan, back arching up off the bed. Keith placed tender kisses all over his neck as he abused the sensitive bundle of nerves.
James let out a steady stream of moans as Keith did this, and when he sunk his teeth into his collarbone. "Keith, please, fuck me."
Keith kissed him, slipping his tongue into his mouth as he settled between his legs.

Predictably, James's rut had started his own, and he was aching to plunge into the tight heat. He pulled James's legs around his waist and slowly pushed in, letting out twin moans as the tight heat enveloped him. Without any warning, he began slamming into James. Normally, he'd take his time, teasing his lover and dragging his orgasm away from him. But right now he was fueled by James's intoxicating scent and his own rut. James moaned, and Keith pulled his legs over his shoulders, folding him in half as he slammed into him, nailing his prostrate. "ah! Alpha!" James cried, back arching again. Keith groaned, slamming into James even faster, feeling his knot grow and chasing release. He began jerking James off, feeling his rim stretch more to accommodate his knot.

James came with a strangled cry all over their chests, and after a few more thrusts, Keith buried himself deep inside James, filling him with his seed. He ground into James, his knot pushing past his rim. "Ke-Keith, please." James whimpered, squirming on his knot. "what do you want babe? What do you want me to do?" Keith asked, rolling his hips. James tilted his head back, exposing his scent gland. "Ma-mark me. Ma-" Keith rolled his hips and he moaned. "Make me yours." Keith groaned and snapped his hips forward. "You sure?" He asked. James nodded. "Please Keith. I love you. I want to be your-ah- I want to be yours forever." Keith moaned again, and leaned down, placing his forehead on James's. "Are-are you sure? This isn't just because I have my dick in your ass?" Keith asked. James giggled, and Keith groaned because //HE FELT THAT//, and he rolled his hips. James inhaled sharply, but smiled, nodding. "Yeah babe. I love you. And I always want to be with you." Keith grinned and kissed James, who happily reciprocating the action. "I- I want- I want you to- to mark me. Make- make me yours. I- I love you." James got out between kisses.

Keith hummed happily and kissed his collarbone and neck before going to the gland. He nipped at the skin with his fangs, and felt James shiver beneath him. He sunk his teeth into the gland, tasting some blood as he did so. James let out a high pithed whine, threading his fingers in Keith's hair as he placed tender kisses to the bite, lapping at the small drops of blood.

"Jamie?" Keith asked. "Hmm?" "Why is it that during your rut you want to get fucked and not fuck me?" Keith asked bluntly. James blinked a few times, then flushed. "Um, I don't know. I grew up with Erica, not Sienna, and she's an omega. I guess when it comes to ruts and sex and stuff, I have more omega like tendencies. Plus, your dick is amazing." James sung the last sentence, and Keith laughed.

SAME AS ABOVE BUT W OMEGA JAMES

"Keith, couldyouhelpmewithmyheat?" James asked. Keith blinked a few times, then blushed. "Um, yeah. Yeah, I will. You don't have to ask babe." It wasn't the first time James had asked Keith to help him. The two had been together, several times during one of their cycles. But each time, James asked Keith if he would help.

James smelled intoxicating. Keith already felt a tent forming in his boxers. "Keith." James moaned, withering in his bed. Much to Keith's surprise, instead of rutting into the sheets, he had a vibrator in his ass. He was plunging it into himself, which made the Alpha in Keith want to take him. James's breath hitched and he arched him back, letting out another moan. "K-Keith!" He cried out. "James?" He crept closer to the bed, trying to ignore his aching hardon. "K-Keith, please." He whimpered. "Please what?" He asked, caressing his cheek. "Fuck me. Fuck me Keith." James demanded. Keith pressed a tender kiss to his lips before pulling away, stripping quickly. He crawled over James, pressing another kiss to his lips. He pulled the vibrator from his hole, causing James to whimper. "Keith, please."

It took all of his strength not to give into the omega's pleas and continue to loosen him properly. James was a bit of a size queen, and loved Keith's larger than normal Galra cock, but would often try to get straight to fucking without preparing himself first.

Keith pressed a few fingers inside of him, surprised by how loose he already was. He massaged his prostrate gently, and he let out a loud moan, back arching up off the bed. Keith placed tender kisses all over his neck as he abused the sensitive bundle of nerves.
James let out a steady stream of moans as Keith did this, and when he sunk his teeth into his collarbone. "Keith, please, fuck me." He begged. "I- I need-" "Shh." Keith said quietly, tweaking his nipple. He gasped and Keith kissed him, slipping his tongue into his mouth as he settled between his legs.

Predictably, James's heat had started his rut, and he was aching to plunge into the tight heat, the slick he was producing making the movement easier. He pulled James's legs around his waist and slowly pushed in, letting out twin moans as the tight heat enveloped him. Without any warning, he began slamming into James. Normally, he'd take his time, teasing his lover and dragging his orgasm away from him. But right now, he was fueled by James's intoxicating scent and his own rut. The need to knot him. The need to fuck him, to knot him and fill him up. James moaned. "Ah! Fuck, thank you! Thank you Keith!" He exclaimed as Keith pulled his legs over his shoulders, folding him in half as he slammed into him, nailing his prostrate.
Apparently, during his heat, James fell into this role much faster than normal.
"Such a good boy. Look at you, being such a good boy for me. Taking my cock so well. Bet you were pretending that vibrator was my dick, weren't you? You fucking slut." Keith taunted, and James nodded. "Been wanting me to fuck you for a while now, huh? Probably been waiting for this since you knew your heat was gonna start. Wanting me to breed you up like a proper bitch."

Keith wasn't wearing a condom, like they usually did during one of their cycles, but by now, he didn't care. Every instinct in his body was screaming for him to breed James, to fill him up, to cum inside him.

"Such a good little omega. Taking me so well." Keith purred. "AH! Alp-UH! Alpha! Alpha!" James cried, back arching again. Keith groaned, slamming into James even faster, feeling his knot grow and chasing release. He began jerking James off, feeling his rim stretch more to accommodate his knot. "Want me to breed you? Fill you up with my seed, make you round with my pups?" James nods, whimpering a bit. "A-Alpha! Alpha, please!" He whined. "Want me to come in you? Want to have my pups?" "Ah-yes! YES! Alpha, PLEASE!" James cried.

James came with a strangled cry all over their chests, and after a few more thrusts, Keith buried himself deep inside James, filling him with his seed. He ground into James, pushing his knot past his rim, his tip grinding into James's prostrate as he continued to fill him up. "Ke-Keith, please." James whimpered, squirming on his cock as he lowered his legs to his waist, that way James was more comfortable as he filled him with his seed. "What do you want babe? What do you want me to do?" Keith asked, rolling his hips. James tilted his head back, exposing his scent gland. "Ma-mark me. Ma-" Keith rolled his hips and he moaned. "Make me yours. Make me your omega." Keith groaned and snapped his hips forward. "You sure?" He asked. James nodded. "Please Keith. I love you. I want to be your-ah- I want to be yours forever. I want everyone to know I'm your Omega." Keith moaned again, and leaned down, placing his forehead on James's. "Are-are you sure? Not just because you're a horny little omega eager to be a good boy for his Alpha? This isn't just because I have my dick in your ass??" Keith asked. James giggled, and Keith groaned because he felt that, and he rolled his hips. James inhaled sharply, but smiled, nodding. "Yeah babe. I love you. And I always want to be with you." Keith grinned and kissed James, who happily reciprocating the action. "I- I want- I want you to- to mark me. Make- make me yours. I- I love you." James got out between kisses.

Keith hummed happily and kissed his collarbone and neck before going to the gland. He nipped at the skin with his fangs, and felt James shiver beneath him. He sunk his teeth into the gland, tasting some blood as he did so. James let out a high pithed whine, threading his fingers in Keith's hair as he placed tender kisses to the bite, lapping at the small drops of blood.

They laid in silence as they waited for Keith's knot to deflate. "Keith?" James asked. "Yeah babe?" "If-if I do get pregnant, from, from your knot, do you- do you want to keep the pup?" James asked quietly. Keith picked his head up from where it laid on the bed. "What?" James flushed. "Well, you, you gave me your knot. And-and ruts and heats are times of high fertility. Which means that I- I'll probably be pregnant by the end. Cause we- we'll do this several more times, and you you'll fill me up with more of you seed, and you-you're so deep, it's like- right there, and you- we're officially mates now, which affects things more, and I'm really fertile right now, and with all the knotting and cum, I- ugh." James groaned and covered his face with his hands, but not before Keith saw his blush. "Jamie, darling, what is it?" He asked.
James took a deep breath. "Ok, you know how we've been dating since a little while after the war on Earth ended? About 6 years?" "Yeah..." Keith said, raising an eyebrow. "And, now, we didn't use protection?" Keith flushed, he'd forgotten in his rush to fuck him. But James just smelled so good when he was in heat. "Right..." "And now, we're officially mates, since you marked me?" "Right." Keith was getting more and more confused. "Well, since I'm in my heat, and you're in your rut, we're going to be having sex a lot, right?" Keith nodded. "And you're going to keep giving me your knot?" "Well, yeah, probably." Keith answered.
James huffed. "And since we've been together for a while, and we're mates now, and we love each other and stuff, and since I'm in heat, I'm extra fertile. And since you giving me your knot, you're basically filling me with your cum. And that, plus my heat, means the chances of me getting pregnant are very high, almost guaranteed. So, if I were to get pregnant, would you want to keepthepupandhaveafamilywithme?" James finished, lowering his hands.

Keith's eyes widened and he stared down at James. "Wha-what?" "Do you want to have a kid with me?" James asked slowly. Keith stared at him silently. "Do- do you want to have a kid? Cause, I mean, you'd be the one pregnant and carrying our pup for nine months. You probably wouldn't be able to fly or fight for most of it. Would you be okay with carrying them?" "Them? As in, them plural? You want multiple kids?" James asked, a blush working it's way across his cheeks. "Well, yeah. Two, maybe three pups would be nice." "So, to be clear, if I do get pregnant, you want the baby?" Keith chuckled. "I'm saying that if you want a baby, I would be more than happy to have one with you. Hell, I'd try to make you pregnant." James beamed up at him. "Really?" Keith nodded, smile growing on his face. "Yes! Of course! James, I would love to have a baby with you!" He exclaimed, pressing a kiss to his lips. James purred happily, clenching around Keith as he did so.

"Fuck, I can't wait to have a baby with you." Keith said. "Boy or girl?" James asked. "Either." Keith started to grind into James again, making him shiver. "Can't wait until you're round with my pups. You'd look so cute pregnant." He cooed, slipping out of his mate as his knot deflated.

It took mere minutes for him to harden again, and he felt James harden again as well. "Already?" His lover chuckled. James rolled his hips. "Up for another round?" "Can you take another load so soon?" Keith asked, slowly grinding down into him. James smiled up at him, mischief flashing in his eyes. "Let's find out."

Keith began slowly dragging in and out of James, pushing all the way inside him, prodding at his prostrate before pulling almost all the way put and repeating the action. "K- Keith.." James said, moving his hips to chase his touch as he reached up to grab him. He pulled him into a kiss, pulling his body closer as well. "Hmm?" "H-harder." He demanded. "Ask properly." Keith said, slowing his pace even more. "Keith, fuck me! I need your cock. Stop teasing me!" James demanded, pulling their bodies closer. Keith growled and grabbed his wrists, pinning them above his head. "Ask. Properly." Keith ordered. "Please." James whined, wiggling in his grip. "Please Alpha, harder." Keith groaned and sped up a bit. "Please Alpha. H-harder. A- Alpha, I need you. I- ah!- I need your knot." Keith pumped his hips faster, before plunging deep into James's hole and stilling. "Want me to breed you? Fill you up like a proper bitch? Cum in you so much it leaks from your slutty little hole?" James moaned and nodded, squirming on his cock. "Alpha, please." He whined, trying to move his hips, but Keith pinned them down with his own. James's leg shook, struggling to keep themselves up as Keith sat inside him. "Alpha, please. F-" HIs breath hitched. "Fuck me." Keith hummed, moving his hips a bit, but barely giving James any friction. "Alpha, please." He begged. "Be patient my little omega." Keith cooed.

James had no other choice. His Keith, his Alpha, his mate was inside him, and he was in heat while his Alpha was in his rut, and he needed his cock, he needed his knot. But he wouldn't give it to him. So he pulled out his best trick. Something only Omegas could do. He keened. He arched his back and keened loudly, giving Keith doe eyes. He rolled his hips and let his jaw drop, letting out a loud moan as his eyes fluttered shut. He kept rolling his hips, making louder and louder moans, letting his Omega side take over. He went slack, not doing anything but rolling his hips, letting Keith have complete and total control, tilting his head up to expose his neck and scent gland, submitting to his Alpha.

Keith felt his fangs drop, and he was hit by a new wave of James's scent. His keens got louder and louder, his hips rolled, and it became harder and harder for Keith not to pound into him. "Alpha." He gave Keith the best bedroom eyes he'd ever seen, the amethyst orbs clouded with lust. "Please. Breed me. Fill me up with your cum. Give me your knot. Alpha, please." He keened. "Breed me like a proper bitch, use me, fuck me, just please, please, knot me." Keith took a deep breath, exhaling slowly. "Alpha, please! Fill me with your cum. Make me have your pups. I want your pups. Please, please, give me your knot." James whined. "Is that what you want little Omega? You want my knot?" James nodded, squeezing his eyes shut, trying to pull Keith closer with his legs. "How bad do you want it?" "I need it!" James exclaimed.

"What will you do for it?" Keith asked, before leaning down to nip at his fresh mark. James keened again, his hips snapping up. "Anything! Anything! Do anything you want with me. Just please, please give me your knot." Keith hummed to himself amusedly, rolling his hips in time with James. He let out a choked gasp, shuddering as he came the second time with a strangled sound.

But Keith wasn't done. He began fucking into James with earnest, the sound of skin slapping skin filling the room. James moaned loudly, back arching off the bed. "AH-ALPHA!" He screamed. "You-said- you'd- do-anything." Keith said, punctuating each word with a powerful thrust. "You're gonna be a good little breeding hole and take all my cum. I'm gonna fill you to to the very brim, and you're gonna have my pups." James let out a loud moan, hips bucking. "You'd like that, wouldn't you? To be filled with my cum? Be round from just my seed?" James moaned and nodded. Keith grinned. "Good."

He began pumping in and out of James even faster, and he screamed from oversensitivity. Keith continued to fuck him earnestly, feeling his knot grow. James whimpered when Keith's knot grew inside him, body shaking from the overstimulation. Keith removed his hands from his wrists to intertwine their fingers. He slammed into James one more time before coming, filling James up again.

James panted, squirming beneath him. "Feel better? You satiated for now?" James purred happily, smiling contently. "Yeah." He sighed out. "Good. Because two loads is a lot, even for a good Omega like you." After his knot had deflated, and he'd pulled out of James, he admired the mess he'd made inside of him. "Mmm, you're definitely gonna be pregnant." James hummed happily. "Great. Can't wait to have your pups." He glanced down at his stomach and gasped. "Keith, look!" "Wha- oh." James did have a small bulge in his stomach from all the cum. "Wow." Keith muttered. "That's kinda hot." James giggled. "You're so nasty." Keith grinned, coming up to peck him on the lips. "Thirsty?" He asked. James nodded. "Water or soda?" "Tea?" James asked. "My throat kinda hurts. All that keening and whining kills it." "Then don't do it." James huffed. "If you would just fuck me and knot me, I wouldn't have to." Keith hummed absentmindedly, rolling off the bed and towards the bedside dresser. He pulled out a small plug, sliding it into James's hole. "There. Extra insurance."

The next five days passed quickly. A cycle of fucking and resting. One, two, maybe even three rounds, with James on his knees, stomach, back, he even rode him once, then a break for food, water, bathroom and sleep. Then repeat. Luckily, James didn't have to keen or whine (much), and Keith was happy to keep filling his Omega with his seed. The thought sent a shiver of pleasure down his spine.

James was his Omega. He'd asked him to mate him, and then breed him. They were going to have a kid. Everything was perfect. The war had died down, and their were hardly any real battles. The Blade was more like an alien Red Cross now, and more and more planets were joining the Coalition. It'd actually probably be pretty easy for him and James to get time off.

"Wait." He said, sitting up in bed. James groaned and sat up besides him. He'd been using Keith's shoulder as a pillow and his movement had woken him. "What?"

"How are we gonna tell the others? About the mark? And-and, are we gonna get married? Do you want to have a wedding? And if you do, do you want a small one, like us and the teams, or do you want a big flashy wedding with our teams and our friends and family and the Blade and your parents and Alice and Chris and your niece and nephews and do you want them to be a part of the wedding like ringbearers or flower girl and do you want like Ryan or Nadia to be your bestman or bestwoman I think it'd be called if Nadia was it and would I have Shiro or Lance as my bestman and what would my mom and Kolivan think oh god what are your parents gonna think are they gonna be mad that I marked you during your heat and got your pregnant then and oh fuck are they gonna be mad you got pregnant during your heat and my rut cause this wasn't planned it was all kinda spur of the moment and fuck what are the others gonna think I mean are we ready to have a baby do we have the money and resources and-"

"Keith." James said, placing a hand on his cheek. "Babe, calm down. We don't even know if I'm pregnant yet. Telling our friends will be easy, and they'll be happy for us. And yeah, I'd love to get married. A big, flashy wedding would be nice. But for now, until we have the money for it, we could just do a civil ceremony. Something with just our teams, maybe just us and our parents even. As for the details of the wedding, we'll figure it out when we get there. I don't know who'd be my bestman or woman, it's another detail. My parents aren't going to be mad you mated me during my heat, they love you, and they know how much we love each other. As for us having a kid, they'll be overjoyed. Everyone will. They won't care when they were conceived, or how, they'll just be happy for us. And yes, we definitely have everything we need to get ready for a baby. We have a house on Earth, Altea, and here on Daibazzal, bigger quarters on the ATLAS and at the Blade base, we both get great salaries, and we have friends and family that would love to help with anything. Especially my parents. They know how much I want kids, and how happy we were to find out I could have them. And Krolia and Kolivan will be overjoyed to find out they're going to be grandparents." Keith inhaled deeply and leaned into his touch. "Everything is gonna be okay babe. More than okay. Someday, we're gonna be married, and have a kid, maybe two or three,

Six weeks later, James and the MFES were undergoing a routine health check when Sam pulled him aside. "Lieutenant Griffin? Can I talk to you?" James nodded and followed him to the med bay. "What's up?" "Nothing. We just need to run a few more tests, check your bloodwork and all. Routine stuff." "Ok." James said, sitting in one of the chairs.
Sam smiled at him, then turned to Romelle. "Call Keith. Tell him to come to the med bay stat." 10 minutes later, Keith was running in the door, straight to James. "Babe, are you okay? Romelle said it was an emergency." He said, giving James a quick check. "Keith, I'm fine. Sam just said he needed to do some more bloodwork for my checkup, that's all."
"And everything is fine. More than fine." Sam said, coming in the room. "We have some excellent news for you two." "Really?" James asked, hope filling his voice.
Was it what he thought it was? Was it really happening?
"Congratulations. You're going to be dads." Sam said with a big smile.

Keith's knees buckled and James had to catch him, but both had huge smiles on their faces. "You're about six weeks along, and so far, they look healthy." "Oh my god. Holy shit. Holy shit! Keith, we're gonna be dads!" James said, grabbing Keith's shoulders. "We're gonna have a kid!" Keith laughed and threw his arms around James, pulling him into a kiss. "Fuck James, we're gonna be dads." Keith said, cupping his face and leaning their foreheads together.

Keith and James smiled at each other. "Well, guys, we didn't just invite you over for dinner." Keith starts. "We have some news." "Is it that you're mates now? Because we know that." Lance interject. Keith rolls his eyes. "No, not that. Something else."
He pauses for effect. "Well? What is it?" Nadia asks.
James and Keith grasp hands under the table. "James and I-" "-are going to be dads." James finishes.

Their friends and family fall silent. Then they start gasping. "What? Really? Oh my god that's great! Is it a boy or girl? Congratulations guys! This is amazing!" Their responses overlapped, and the couple laughed. "It's going to be a girl." James said proudly, placing a hand on his stomach. "I'm about 18 weeks along." "They'll be born around April, May." Keith added.
Ezor clasped her hands together. "That's amazing! Oh, do you have a name yet?" "Bella. Bella Griffin-Kogane." Another moment of silence as they registered what this meant.
"Oh! Oh! You're going to get married!" Mrs. Griffin exclaimed. "Married?" Kolivan asked. James sheepishly held up the hand that was intertwined with Keith's, showing the slim gold band. "When did all of this happen?" Mr. Griffin asked. "Dad, it doesn't matter. I'm going to be an aunt! Again!" Alice said excitedly. "Is it going to be a courthouse wedding? Or are you guys going to have a big one like Shiro and Adam did?" Hunk asks.

"Just a small civil ceremony for now. Then, later, we'll have a big flashy wedding." Keith answers. "How flashy?" Lance inquires. "Cake, flowers, probably an outside space or reception hall on Earth or Daibazzal, a clerk, obviously you guys would all be there, along with our extended family, more friends, probably some other coalition members. But definitely after Bella's born."
"I call being godmother!" Nadia declared. "What? No, I want to be godmother!" Pidge complained.

"What is a godmother?" Zethrid asked. "It's an Earth thing." Chris supplied. "Anyway, this is great and all, but are you sure you'll have time? You've cleared your schedules for the birth? And a few months after? Kids are a big responsibility James."
James rolls his eyes. "Chris, I helped you and Alice with yours all the time. And Micheal? Who stayed with him when you were working late?" "You." Chris answered sheepishly. "Look, I'm happy for you, and I know you guys will be great parents. I just want to make sure you know what you're getting into." "And we appreciate that. But we're ready for this. I mean, we fought in a war, how hard can raising a kid be?" Keith jokes.

"Oh god. Keith. Keith!" James said, clutching his stomach. "What? What's wrong?" He asked, rushing to his side. "The baby. It's coming. It's coming now." Keith's eyes widened. "Shit. Let's get to the lion. We need to get you to a hospital." "No. Let' let-s just get to the med bay. There's rooms there."

Twenty minutes later, James was holding his first-born daughter in his arms. He held her against his bare chest, covering her back with a small blanket that Zethrid had given them. "Bella Griffin-Kogane. Our daughter." James said, caressing her cheek with his finger. Her eyes were shut, but she had James's chocolate brown hair. She squirmed a bit, squeezing her eyes shut before opening them up. James gasped softly, before smiling. "She has my eyes.." Keith said quietly. "She's beautiful." James says. "Just like you." Keith says softly. "Can I hold her?" He asked. James moved her to Keith's arm, and he cradled her in her arms, holding her close to his chest. She looked up at him, and he smiled. "Hi. I'm Keith. Your Dad. Well, one of them. Your other dad is James, and he's amazing. Just know, he's going to use the "I carried you in my body for nine months" line on you a lot, so you better listen to him." James swatted Keith's shoulder playfully, then smoothed out some of her hair. "But we're gonna take care of you, and protect you, and always be there for you, no matter what, I promise. And we'll always love you. And you're gonna have a great family, who'll always be there for you.

She started squirming, and Keith handed her back to James. "Aw, she's just tired." James cooed as she snuggled into his chest. "What if she's hungry? What then? You're not going to have to.." Keith made a motion like holding her against his chest, and James chuckled, shaking his head. "No, male omegas don't breastfeed. There's formula and stuff. Then, after a few months, we can move her to baby food." Keith nodded, looking back at their daughter.
