Chapter Text
“Jesus fucking Christ, Mon Cher, how is your cum still dripping out of me?” Lestat yelled from where he was getting ready in the bathroom.
Louis, who was currently getting dressed, stifled back his laughter. He was not about to face the omega’s wrath, not if he wanted his lover to comply with the afternoon’s activities.
It had been two day’s since Lestat’s heat, and Louis’ surprise rut, had ended and Lestat was still apparently dripping with his alpha’s seed. While annoying to the omega, the alpha was obsessed.
He really did stuff him full. He thought with a warm smile that he would have to keep to himself.
“Can’t be that much left, baby.” He called back, hoping his pleasure wasn’t too obvious.
He heard his omega huff and decided he didn’t do a good job at hiding it. Not that Lestat’s was that upset. If he was he would’ve made it clear and Louis would’ve been on his knees to grovel.
Once he was finished getting his own clothes on, he went to check on the blond. Lestat was sitting at his vanity.
While this was technically Louis’ private bathroom, he had moved all of Lestat’s products to the vanity Louis never used. Giving his omega plenty of room to set his make up and skin care products up.
Lestat wasn’t doing a lot today. Deciding to take a more subtle approach, only some eyeliner, but he had fixed his into a ponytail with a black ribbon.
His outfit was like Louis’. Simple, easy to move in and to get out of if the doctor needed him to do so. Which was probably going to happen.
“I’m a walking cream puff,” Lestat said in faux disgust. His amber scented slick giving his desire gave him away. “un dessert pour votre plaisir, such a naughty alpha.”
“Hmm you’re delicious. I think I’ll eat you up after.” Louis kissed the crown of his head.
Lestat rolled his eyes and put his make up away. His face was less pale than it had been in weeks, courtesy to finally being out of heat, getting some rest, and food, and he looked so soft Louis wanted to hold him forever.
His lover leaned back into his touch and hummed a soft tune. A song in a language Louis didn’t recognize, but liked all the same, and for a moment Louis allowed them to just exist without anything else.
~~~
Lestat did not want to walk into the doctor‘s office. He did not want to wait in a room with a bunch of other people with scents he could suddenly smell, having not shoved down his throat how horny the alphas were getting over the omegas. He did not want to see nervous omegas and betas over their cycles getting late.
He simply did not want to be at the doctors. He loathed them. He hated everything about this place and wanted nothing more than to escape from this hell hole.
But Louis insisted he get checked out.
And like always Lestat would do anything his alpha actually wanted. Even if he dragged his feet through the process.
“Louis, I don’t like this. That alpha looks at me.” Lestat looked over his shoulder at a creepily old alpha. “Must I see the doctor?”
“I’m sorry baby, but you do.” Louis apologized and let out soothing pheromones to try and calm him. It only slightly worked. “Dr. Bhansali is a good man, remember he’s helped you before, and he’ll take care if you in the best way. As for that other alpha, if he doesn’t stop looking I’ll rip his eye balls out.”
Lestat supposed that was an acceptable answer to the creep. However he still didn’t want to deal with the medical examination he was going to undergo.
His alpha kept a comforting hand on him while they waited for him to be and when he was called back for his appointment.
After checking his weight, blood pressure, and heart rate, the beta nurse took him to a room that was unfortunately way too familiar.
“Alright all your stats look good Lestat, go ahead and get undressed for me and put on this hospital gown for me. Dr. Bhansali will be here in a few moments.” The nurse said in her kind voice and shut the door behind her.
Lestat looked at the hospital gown in disgust. Flimsy paper that did nothing to give him any dignity. He looked at Louis with big eyes.
“Come on baby, it’ll be alright.” His alpha said in what was supposed to be a supportive voice. But Lestat could hear his hesitation, he knew why Lestat hated this. “I’ll make it up to afterwards, anything you want.”
Well that was a dangerous thing to propose. Lestat raised his brow and reluctantly took off his nice comfy clothes for the evil paper gown.
His cheeks blushed at the way Louis admired his body, including the many bruises left from love nips and his partner’s grip. Lestat willed his body not to slick up.
Before he could ask Louis to help him on the hospital bed, Louis’ phone rang. It was a sad sounding song that could only mean one person.
Paul.
Louis’ younger brother did not like Lestat. At all. And the feeling was only partially mutual.
Lestat has tried to bond with his lover, his best friend’s younger brother. The same way he bonded with and is close with Grace. But Paul hated Lestat more than even Florence did. And their mother hated Lestat a lot.
“I’ll call him later.” Louis said, not loving to answer the phone.
Lestat couldn’t remember the last time the alpha talked to either one of his siblings. Which was very unlike him. Even before the actual heat started he had been taking care of him through the sickness.
“Non, go ahead and answer Louis. You haven’t spoken in a fortnight.” Lestat gave a small smile. “besides, if you don’t answer now he’ll just call again.”
Louis nodded in agreement and pulled out his phone to answer. As the phone call went through he said “let me put you on the bed,” then to Paul. “Heya Paul.”
He helped Lestat up onto the hospital bed, somehow managing to not rip the gown nor the parchment like paper on the bed, and talking to Paul.
Lestat looked at the pictures on the wall to attempt to give them privacy. He didn’t want to Invade their conversations. He knew Paul would feel him hearing any of it as an invasion.
But his alpha’s voice was alluring to him. He couldn’t help but listen to it even when he actively tried not to. He wondered if it was because they were mates or if it was just the power of his Louis.
“I know Paul. Look- no you don’t get to say fucking shit. Yours isn’t as bad” Louis growled. “How about you shut the fuck up. I love you, but you don’t get to make me feel bad about this. We’ll talk later. Bye little brother.”
His alpha hung up the phone with a huff.
Lestat looked over at him in concern but Louis waved him off this time. The alpha put on a care feee smile and went to wrap his arm around the omega.
“No big deal baby, Paul is just being Paul. Don’t worry about it.” Louis’ pheromones were a balm Lestat didn’t know he needed. The soothing scent of his alpha made him sigh and relax. “You just relax, we’re going to take it easy.”
The omega tried. He let his alpha lay him down and accepted his hand to hold when he was settled.
They waited for about two more minutes before there was a knock and Doctor Fareed Bhansali walked in.
The doctor was handsome man in his forties or so. He was intelligent and patient enough that Lestat could handle his care but he still squirmed under his gaze.
It wasn’t the omega’s fault. It was all doctor’s who made him this way. Ever since he was little and his father took him to the ones in France; the ones who didn’t actually have valid licenses anymore, he couldn’t trust them.
“Lestat, it’s so nice to see you again. And you’ve presented that’s good.” The doctor greeted him. He looked up from his chart and added “and as always good to see you too, Louis. I’m unsurprised to see you were his heat partner.”
Lestat flushed at the last part. Though he supposed everyone knew that they would get together eventually. They were not very subtle with their feelings and it was Lestat’s insecurity over his lack of presentation that held him back.
As with every appointment before, Fareed took out a suppression patch and let Lestat watch him open it in front of him. Then he slowly placed it over his own glands and let his own omegan scent disappear from the room. Well it lessened.
Though Lestat hadn’t been able to really smell it before, Fareed had done this so Lestat knew there was no influence being done to him. That any feeling was his own.
Louis’ scent was allowed to be out, on Lestat’s request. And it filled the room in its comforting warmth.
“I know you’re nervous Lestat, and i understand why. However we’ll do this at your pace. You’re my only client for the day so we can take our time.” The doctor promised, pulling on pink non latex gloves.
“Merci, what are we doing?” Lestat’s voice was small. His grip on Louis strong.
The doctor explained he would be doing well-omega’s exam, an internal and external ultrasound, some blood work, and urine sample. Fareed would also be asking questions and seeing how the two react.
That seemed like a lot of things. Some of the things he didn’t quite know what it was but he trusted Louis, who nodded along to everything.
“Now, we are going to do the wellness exam. First. Can you scoot down please and put your feet in the stirrups?”
~~~
Louis felt awful for his poor omega.
The well-omega exam had him shaking in the bed. He had tears in his eyes and Louis had to say calming things and send out as many pheromones as he could without risking an imbalance, and kissing his face to get him through it.
Thankfully it didn’t last long with the hole examination, he even got the internal ultrasound done, before Fareed moved to the chest and mating gland part.
“You’re doing very well, Lestat. I know it’s hard. I’m sorry we had to do it. But it’s over. No more down there.” Fareed praised him as he helped put his legs down. “Now, I’m going to touch your chest if that’s okay?”
Lestat looked at Louis who gave him an encouraging smile. He was so proud of him. He was doing incredible. “You can take a moment if you need baby.”
“It’s okay,” Lestat replied, “go ahead. I want this over with.”
Fareed pulled his gown open and Louis saw the omega shiver. He must’ve been cooled by the exposure. Then the doctor started touching his chest.
He was gentle, asking Lestat a few questions as he went. Then he pulled the gown closer and went to touch his neck.
That had Louis’ inner alpha acting up. But Louis caught himself, knowing he wasn’t being rational. This was a normal part of the examination. And he needed to stay calm if he wanted Lestat calm.
“Your glands are still swollen.” The doctor noted as he pressed down, causing Lestat’s amber scent to flood their senses. “Unusual for it to continue this long after a heat, but you did present late. Hmm. Lestat,are you feeling warm?”
Now that the doctor asked, Lestat was really red. His forehead was sweaty and he smelled really sweat. This was really strange.
“Oui, Je me sens comme un feu.” Lestat replied weakly. “Is the room warm?”
It wasn’t. The room was freezing cold. Lestat was shivering, nipples pebbles over from the temperature.
“Lestat. Are you feeling any slick production? Any cramps?” Fareed continued his questions.
Lestat nodded this time, his free hand going to his lower stomach. “It hurts, not as bad as before but it just started.”
Fareed stopped touching his glands and turned to Louis. Louis was getting nervous now and really didn’t like the look on the doctor’s face.
He also didn’t like that the doctor didn’t say anything as he pulled out the ultrasound machine, this time getting an external monitor, and the gel.
“It’ll be cold. I’m going to look at where your womb is either developing or developed.”
Lestat didn’t seem to mind when the gel was placed on his skin and only reacted when the wand was used, though he wasn’t really upset by it. Just uncomfortable.
Fareed looked at the screen, which was turned away from the couple, and his eyes narrowed by whatever he was finding.
“Everything is okay, Les.” Louis reassured him. “I’ve got you.”
Lestat was breathing heavily as the scab continued and finally after what seemed like forever, Fareed turned the screen around.
“Lestat is currently undergoing a heat.” Fareed explained when Louis glared at him for an explanation.
“He just went through a fucking heat. An eleven day one, you’re telling me it’s happening again?” Louis’ voice might’ve gone higher than he wanted because Lestat whined.
Fareed was quick to shake his head. “No, this is a flash heat. Happens during cases where the womb isn’t fully developed. Like now. It’s unusual but it’s been known to happen.
He’s probably going to have another few flash heats and then another full heat, which shouldn’t be as long as his first, then his womb will be completely developed.”
Louis had never heard of a flash heat before. He wasn’t sure how long they last or how intense they could be. He didn’t know how he wasn’t suppose to help Lestat if he didn’t know anything about what he was going through.
Seeing the look on the alpha’s face, the doctor had pity on him and explained.
“Essentially he’ll have the warmth and cramps of a heat. Most likely for an hour or two then it’ll be over. The frequency of which he’ll have them is unknown, but it’s not a full heat. He won’t have to have sex to feel satisfied. It does help though.”
“Is sex okay to have when he’s still developing?” Louis asked at the same time Lestat goes “what about the mating bite?”
Fareed smiled at their curiosity and removed the ultrasound wand. He grabbed a wipe and cleaned up Lestat’s stomach for him.
“Sex is perfectly safe and actually recommended for him. I suggest the same alpha but what you do is your business Lestat, I have no judgment.” Louis didn’t like the idea of Lestat going with another alpha but the doctor moved on before he could relay that. “The likelihood of him conceding before the womb is developed, or even before he’s mated, is low.”
Then before Lestat could repeat his question, Fareed continued.
“As for the mating bond. I think it’s the best idea to wait under you’re fully developed and done with your second heat. After that I’m sure it’s a good idea. Let you’d body get used to everything before you send a shock to its system.”
~~~
Lestat was finally dressed in his clothes and in Louis’ hoodie he brought. Now that his flash heat was done, a horrible experience he didn’t want to go through again, the omega was freezing.
He wanted to go get a milkshake then go home and crawl into Louis’ bed. Maybe never come out again.
He was exhausted. Body aching and head throbbing from all the emotions he had gone through in such a short amount of time.
And he still has to talk to Fareed! They had been here for hours. He had given his blood and his urine, a humiliation ritual if there ever was one, and yet still there was more.
“I know you’re tired but just a few more things to discuss then you’re done, baby.” Louis promised.
“Okay.” He sighed.
Dr, Bhansali pulled out a pamphlet and handed it to Lestat. It was about omega support groups.
“There’s in person meetings, online groups, anything to make you feel more comfortable.” Fareed explained. “Then this is for late bloomers. Plenty of omegas like yourself have developed late and had gone off to have normal lives, had children if they wanted. I know it’s overwhelming so these groups will help.”
“I really will be able to have a child?” Lestat asked, his hand going to rest on his stomach. He always wanted a family.
Fareed nodded. “One day, yes.”
He teared up, wiping his eyes with the softness of Louis’ hoodie sleeves. They really could have a baby then. This could really happen.
They had talked about it in the heat of the moment, breeding him. But Lestat hadn’t actually believed him. Not really. He hadn’t let himself believe he could really get this.
“My mama would be thrilled if we had a baby.” Louis said with a large smile. Lestat couldn’t help but smile with him, Florence might actually like him if he gave her a grandchild. “Though she’ll snatch them up and never give them back.”
The smile on Lestat’s face vanished immediately.
He didn’t know if Florence could actually take any child he and Louis had, but the idea of her doing so left him nauseous. She would do it too, if she could. Or she would try. Would Louis allow it?
He shook the thought away. No, of course his alpha wouldn’t. He loved Lestat too much. He wouldn’t allow anyone, even his mother, to cause so much pain to him.
Lestat forced a fake smile on and calmed his thoughts. Focus on the good, he thought. He was presented. He had finally healed from the abuse of his past, at least his body had.
Things would be okay. Everything would be great. Right?
