Chapter 20
Theo sat in the bathroom that night with Liam, watching him strip out of his clothing. He wanted to see it, first hand. See what his boyfriend looked like down there. Liam seemed to be embarrassed though.
“Can you please step out…?” He asked, and Theo nodded, giving him the space he needed.
He stepped outside of the bathroom, listening to the sound of Liam dropping his pants, underwear, then the shower starting. He hopes that soon, real soon, Liam will be comfortable enough to show him. He knew it could be embarrassing, the stories that he read. The mates of the wolves who’s bodies had changed left them. In the one story, the mate had a baby, just like Liam was having, and the Alpha left. He cut off the mating bond, making sure that the omega would lose their baby. It had angered Theo, knowing someone could be so cruel like that.
He wouldn’t ever be like that.
He just wanted to make sure he made Liam feel comfortable enough to show him that intimate part of him.
He heard the shower shut off, Liam toweling himself dry and putting on a pair of shorts, and then grabbing the t-shirt Theo had left in there.
Liam stepped out, standing in front of Theo.
“Tomorrow.” Is what he said.
“Tomorrow, what?” Theo asked.
“Tomorrow, I’ll show you.” He said, and Theo nodded.
“Only if you’re ready. If not, then don’t force yourself to.” He never wanted to force Liam into that.
“I am ready. I am.” He said, and Theo nodded a bit, resting his hands on Liam’s hips.
“If you’re sure then.” And Liam nodded, looking up at Theo.
Theo raised an eyebrow, and Liam bit his lip.
“I, uh… I want to make Brett… the godfather of our kid.” Theo stared.
“No.”
“Theo, please—”
“I don’t trust him like that. Especially with our kid.” Liam frowned a little, but nodded, stepping away.
Theo felt bad, but he really didn’t trust Brett. He trusted Derek. But Liam wasn’t familiar with Derek. That could change. Maybe Liam and Derek could hang out tomorrow, get to know one another.
“I’m gonna head off to bed, talk with Lauren for a bit.” Liam said, and Theo nodded, watching him go.
They could figure it out later.
---------------------------------------------------
Theo laid with Liam after his shower, Liam fast asleep, Theo’s bigger pillow clutched at his chest. Theo smiled softly, running a hand through his hair. His baby was so cute, so innocent. To see the things he had, to go through what he did, he was strong. And Brave. Beautiful.
Maybe he could consider Brett as a candidate for their godfather, when the time came of course. He didn’t know. He probably would despise the guy. He could try for Liam though. Try to make it work.
“Go to sleep, you’re thinking too loud.” Liam mumbled, eyes cracked open a pinch.
“Sorry, baby. I love ya.”
“Yeah, you too.” Liam said, eyes closing, body going slack.
He smiled softly, closing his eyes as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------
He woke up to shaking.
Well, his body was shaking.
Liam was shaking him.
“What? What is it?” He murmured, eyes opening against the harsh light of the room. He squinted, then looked over at Liam.
“Baby, come on!” Liam said, eyes wide, face excited.
He pulled himself out of bed, stumbling down the stairs with Liam, seeing that it was snowing outside. It was only September.
“I’ve never seen snow before.” He said, and Theo looked at him.
“It’s really cold.” He replied.
“Hot chocolate?” Liam asked, and Theo nodded.
Liam made them two cups of hot chocolate while he woke up, taking care of his bladder in the restroom.
He had just finished washing and drying his hands when a mug was placed into his hands, the cup warm to the touch.
Liam leaned onto his tippy toes, giving Theo a small kiss on the cheek, Theo smiling softly.
He enjoyed his cup of hot cocoa while Liam watched his show, engaged deeply into it. Theo watched him instead. Watched the way he twitched, watched the way his chest rose and fell, watched the way he swallowed, watched everything.
“I’m going to show you now.” Liam said suddenly, and Theo choked a little on his drink, looking at Liam.
“Okay.” He said.
Liam stood, setting his mug down, turning to face Theo. Theo watched, and Liam pulled his shorts down slowly, revealing that he had no underwear on. It was such a sight to see. It was so… pretty and pink…
“Goddamn…” He said, setting his own mug down, getting on his knees in front of Liam.
“I…”
“You are so beautiful…” Liam blushed, covering his face.
“It’s just… different. Weird.” Theo shrugged.
“I didn’t fall in love with you because of your genitals, Liam.” He said, and Liam blushed more.
Theo kissed right above it, pulling away and standing up.
“Thank you for showing me. It means a lot.” Liam smiled a little, nodding.
Now he just needed to know how to show it to Liam.
-----------------------------------------------------
They figured it out.
Theo went down on him, addicted to it already.
If he could stay like this all the time, he would.
-----------------------------------------------------
Liam came, legs shaking, hands buried deep within Theo’s hair.
He ruined the moment though.
“Will I end up getting periods?”
Theo just stared at him.
-----------------------------------------------------
Liam in turn went down on Theo.
It was a sex fueled night.
-----------------------------------------------------
It hit him, later that night, when Liam was passed out, Theo awake, staring down at him.
He was a daddy. He was someone’s mate, he was going to have a child. He was an Alpha with his own little family.
He was happy here.
