Summary: There is an Omega that comes into the NICU to hold the premature pups. He has been doing it for the last fifteen years and while the staff know his name, none know his history or why he does it. He does a wonderful thing, holding them, cuddling them skin to skin, encouraging them to thrive. Sam Winchester is the doctor that delivers most of the pups, and the ones that land themselves in the NICU, he has a special place in his heart for them, and he is glad for the Omega's frequent visits, even if there's a haunted look in the man's eyes.
When Dean comes up to the hospital, meeting him in front of the NICU instead of in his office, he is drawn to the beautiful Omega, moved by the man's beauty. When Sam informs him that this Omega is his truemate, he's excited and wants to meet the man. He's longed for his truemate for as long as he remembers. The problem? The feeling is not mutual. Dean is persistent though, and soon the Omega has allowed him into his world. He feels lucky to be there, but bonding might not be possible. Sometimes loving someone isn't enough, not when they can't love themselves.
