What if the random baby au was also an abo au as well? Like Omega Duncan finds the baby but pups that young need to be scented by their parent within a few hours of birth or else they die so dunk, without thinking and because this is his soulmate, scents the baby. Only problem? Now everyone is convinced that dunk himself birthed this infant and is like only two day out from having given birth, without thinking and the only reason heâs able to ride his horse and be up and walking being the soulmate healing thing. So, since no sane person would willingly participate in a tourney so soon after childbirth, they think heâs only doing it because he needs the money for him and his pup(pups if we include egg). Cue everyone pampering Duncan like crazy, refusing to let him do anything for himself, making him always rest or stay sitting/lying down, and generally being super protective and gentle with him. Bonus points if heâs breastfeeding the baby himself because his instincts went into overdrive with a baby to feed, which only solidifies everyoneâs assumptions in their minds. Bonus bonus points if the misunderstanding doesnât get cleared up for months/years if ever.
Absolutely, especially when Dunk mentions the baby is his first soulmate in years.
Now they think their bond sick soulmate literally just gave birth in a hedge with no help & the deadbeat sire left them???
Daeron & Egg actually come with him from the Inn. Daeron cannot leave this omega like this and he's their soulmate. So, yes, still dunk he sleeps under a tree with them. Egg has started planning on how to kill his baby sibling's sire.
Lyonel woke up from drinking & meeting Dunk and spends the morning frantically looking for his poor soulmate
Dunk goes to Baelor & Maekar to ask about entering the lists, newborn in a sling on his front, older pup scent also clinging to him. They both freak out like & get the plushest mattress in Ashford & all the nesting materials they can get their hands on.
Rowan is also in protective overdrive of Dunk and Raymun wants to marry both of them, claim the pup as his.
It's actually not until his wedding night, a year later, when a blushing Dunk tells Maekar this is his first time that they realise the pup isn't his biological child.
