Trevor ran a hand over his face as he sat on the edge of the bed, water still falling off of his hair in droplets. Sypha was wrong, if God had it out for anyone then it was him. The thought brought a rueful smile to his face, he ran his fingers through his hair and let out a sigh.

Out of all the times he could have gotten pregnant this might be one of the worse, Alucard had been with him through his heats for well over a year and it was true that they had gotten less careful with each one. However neither had spoken truly on what would happen if Trevor did become pregnant, if it was mentioned at all it was in a offhanded joke or comment that never brought up more than a chuckle.

Now however, with Carmilla’s forces actually making moves on Wallachia after only whispers of it for months previously and the people looking for the three that killed Dracula to kill her as well, now was not the time to grow heavy and slow with child.

Trevor had known about the child growing within him for two weeks now, he had at first tried the subtle changes and instincts that came forward, but now he was certain. He was pregnant with Alucard’s child and Carmilla had declared war on Wallachia.

“Fuck.”

It was spoken barely louder than a whisper but the word still shattered the silence that had previously enveloped the room, now that the silence was broken he found he couldn’t sit still any longer. Leaving the small room and inn it was apart of he began walking through the small village, it was an old habit born from years of traveling but when thoughts swirled to much to handle he found moving the best option.

Trevor needed time; time to come up with a plan on what to do about Carmilla,  time to figure out what to tell Alucard, and time to sort out his own feelings about this whole situation. However time was not something Trevor had an abundance of now, not considering the new army plaguing the country, his scent would begin to change soon and his stomach had already soften with a small pouch forming that spoke of the life within it.

He could mask his scent with various tonics and plants, he had done it since he first presented, but the physical changes would be the most difficult to conceal. Trevor had no intention of hiding his pregnancy or anything like that, but he knew that once Alucard or Sypha found out that he would be more or less confined to the castle.

However once he was tucked away they would be missing the third person in their odd group, they had perfected the art of fighting together both before and after dealing with Dracula and would need that coordination when dealing with Carmilla. Trevor let out another sigh and scrubbed his face, there was one more option.

One that had flitted through his mind when he realised he was pregnant, there were tonics he could take to stop the pregnancy. Yet whenever the thought came about he couldn’t help but dismiss it, yes the timing could hardly be worse but at the same time there was no guarantee that there would ever be a good time.

After Dracula there is Carmilla, but after her there would more than likely be someone else more than happy to kill all of humanity. Carmilla had just started to take Wallachia which meant they should either go after her in earnest now or hope that she took her time long enough for Trevor to deliver and strike then.

Personally Trevor would much rather strike while he could still do so, while he could still move the way he could and didn’t have to worry about a child crying for him. Conviction sparked through him and he walked back to the inn faster than he had walked out of it, now the next step would be on how to conceal his pregnant from Sypha.

He could worry about Alucard when they met up again, the omega had little doubt it would be difficult and even now Sypha would glance at him for a moment to long but he could sort that out later. Trevor felt a smile forming as he climbed the steps to get to his room, he now had a plan and while it might not be the best one it was a start. That smile died when he stepped into his room to find both Alucard and Sypha standing and apparently waiting for him.

It had been almost a week since Alucard had went out to join the pair, he had said it was to prevent the backtracking that it would take just for them to come back to castle to retrieve him. Though Trevor knew the truth, that Alucard had felt lonely in the month since they had last been there and had striven to find them.

Any other time Trevor would chuckle and lightly tease at the weak excuse while later when they were alone do all he could to relieve the pain the half human felt. Now however Trevor felt conflicted, he too longed for times when they were wrapped up around each other in pure bliss or when they merely laid together talking about nothing or everything.

For now neither of those were options, Trevor knew his resolve would weaken the moment the moment Alucard gave him that smile he reserved for when it was just the two of them. So instead Trevor minded the distance and kept things light, after all he had an issue when it came to keeping his mouth shut.

Alucard clearly noticed but he, the ever gentleman alpha, said nothing and made no advancements save for a small look of hurt everytime Trevor avoided his gaze or leaned away from his touch. Sypha clearly noticed the new divide between them and alternated shooting questioning glances to Alucard and soft glares to Trevor.

Which the omega thought was probably warranted but it still made him bristle, it came to a head when Sypha all but dragged him away from lightly sleeping Alucard.

“What is going on?”

Trevor knew this was coming but still felt no better prepared for the question than he would have a week ago, “I have no idea what your talking about.”

Sypha actually rolled her eyes at that and crossed her arms, a trait she probably learned from him after their years of friendship.

“You know exactly what I’m talking about. You’re avoiding him! You can’t even meet his gaze.”

Her posture softened and her voice became lighter, “did you two have a fight? Or was it something else?”

Trevor couldn’t help but stiffen at both the question and the calming scent she was obviously trying to utilize, though she was a beta her scent was something Trevor had come to know as safe and trustworthy. Now however it only caused Trevor’s stomach to tense and avoid her knowing eyes, “look it’s- it’s complicated. I’ll explain it later, really I will. For now we should focus on finding Carmilla.”

She was clearly not happy with that answer but instead of fighting for a better answer she merely let out a breath and walked away to the site the had set camp at. Trevor spared a glance to where Alucard still laid and could swear he was much tenser than he had been before.

Swearing silently to himself he trailed after Sypha and sat down on his on mat, leaning back on the wagon he let his eyes slip closed. This was going to be harder than he thought. At night the demons came and they all assumed their regular positions, Trevor and Alucard taking charge while Sypha sent forth ice or fire at will.

However something had changed, Trevor’s fighting had always been a full body experience including masterful aerial acrobatics and agility. Now however it had become guarded and more reserved, it was almost entirely subconscious but it still left Sypha wide open for a charging demon.

Trevor heard her shout before it was cut off by a heavy claw slamming into her, Alucard quickly dispatched of it shortly after before killing the rest of the night creatures. Trevor ran to check on Sypha, who luckily didn’t seem to injured other than a few bruises and a shallow scratch.

As she came to with a groan he helped her sit up and she blinked warily at him, “I’m alright, it just caught me off guard.”

Trevor gave her a smile that she returned as he helped her to her feet, after making sure she truly was alright he finally turned to face the gaze that was burning into his skull. When he met it Alucard was fixed with his stoniest expression and as Sypha walked to cart the alpha all but hissed, “a word?”

To his credit he didn’t start walking until Trevor took a breath and made to follow him, once they were deeper in the foliage Alucard’s patience seemed to finally snap.

“I have been giving you space and time, not that you ever actually verbalized you needed it, but this is to much. You’re carelessness could have gotten anyone of us killed and succeeded in injuring Sypha. It’s one thing to ignore me, but on the battlefield it’s not just you!”

The half vampire took a long step forward until his scent was the only thing Trevor could smell, and when gold eyes bore into his he felt his pulse quicken in response.

“What have I done to earn your ire, Belmont? Why do you bathe your scent with foul smelling tonics once again?”

Trevor tried to steer past all the instincts that told him to come clean to his alpha and fall into his embrace, instead he could only grit out. “It’s a personal choice.”

This was not the right thing to say because in the next instant his back was being pressed against a tree with Alucard’s hands firmly holding his shoulders. “I’ve been patient but you are wearing me thin. I’ll ask you again simply. What has changed?”

In that brief moment Trevor didn’t see Adrian, father of his child and person he loved, he saw a threat to both him and the child. Fear he hadn’t felt since he was young shot through him and on uncoordinated instinct he punched the alpha, who let go the moment he smelt the fear through all of the tonics and when the fist collided he took several steps back.

Not at the power of the blow but because he had caused his Trevor to panic like that, trained hunters learned from an early age how to control their fear and work around it. So seeing Trevor before him, his eyes darting around like startled prey, and knowing that he was the reason the omega was afraid had Alucard wanting to cut off his own hand in repentance.

Trevor calmed down soon enough but when he chanced a look at Alucard he hated that he saw nothing but mortification. Taking a moment to clear his throat he made a motion to where a new campfire had been lit, “we should go.”

He hated that his heart still pounded in his ears but what he hated more was that he might have fucked everything up by keeping to himself. He sat in his usual position by the fire and accepted the bowl given to him by Sypha while completely ignoring the questioning look she gave him.

Trevor had gotten through two spoonfuls when Alucard finally came, when he didn’t sit down Trevor craned his neck to look at him. Blond hair fell over his face but what struck the most was the look of devastation that could be clearly seen, Sypha let out a small noise and started to rise while Trevor felt glued to his spot.

“Trevor, your last heat.”

That was it, Trevor thought, he finally figured it out. Trevor knew that Alucard probably wouldn’t be jumping over the moon with joy, he hadn’t expected it to hit the half human so badly and it made him wonder if it had been wishful thinking that Adrian would be anything other than upset.

“Yeah, I remember it.”

His last heat had ended with him pregnant after all, and some of the memories of that specific heat still made blood rush to his cheeks. At his words Alucard let out a sharp breath and Sypha looked between the two in open bewilderment.

“Forgive me, Trevor.”

Trevor narrowed his eyes at that, something was definitely off here and he couldn’t put his finger on it. “For what exactly?”

“I-lost control, I forced you to do things you weren’t comfortable with. I truly am sorry, I don’t expect or deserve your forgiveness but-”

“Seem to recall that I was more than happy with all of your ideas.”

This finally got Adrians attention and he finally looked at Trevor directly, “you weren’t in-”

“If you say I ‘wasn’t in my right mind’ I will punch you in the dick. I was more than consenting and we both know that’s not what my heats are like.”

The look of confusion now being directed at him made Trevor long for a long drink of dark ale before a choked chuckle broke through. Only Adrian could come to that conclusion. “I’m not avoiding you because we got a little wilder in bed than usual.”
