Chapter Text
There was a smell in the air and Harry couldn’t decipher what the smell was, he just knew that it was awful. Not even normal awful but god is it in my mouth type of awful and he thinks the smell is coming from the person beside him.
Since Louis has been pregnant he’s been letting out these silent farts that will definitely make your eyes water and nose burn but Harry doesn’t have the heart to confront his lover about the fart smells yet. Louis is a tad bit sensitive and Harry telling him that his farts make the Alpha want to dive off a cliff would pretty much push the Omega over the edge so Harry is trying to deal with it.
It’s just hard to deal with when it’s five in the morning and you’re wide awake because a smell has crept into your nose and decided to reside there for what seems like eternity. Louis snores deeper and shifts his hips so his bum is directly pointing towards Harry and the alpha’s eyes go cross as he gets a second whiff of stinky Louis fart and he has to force himself not to gag. Imagine getting stuck in a small room with a rotten egg stink bomb, that’s what it feels like to Harry right now and the worse part of it all is that the older man wouldn’t have it any other way.
Okay that's a lie, he would definitely take a non-stinky Louis any day but he realizes that it all comes with the territory. The good and the bad, the pretty and the ugly, the rose blossoms and the rotten eggs. Harry has to stop his mind melt when he sniffs again because the smell has gotten worse, it feels as if Louis is somehow doing it on purpose; like his self-conscious is secretly mad at the alpha and wants revenge or something. Maybe it’s Louis’ ex coming back from the grave, trying to keep the two apart by using deadly fart gases.
Or maybe Louis is bloated and gaseous because he’s carrying two lovely pups in his tummy and Harry should just fucking deal with it. Then again surely Louis wouldn’t notice if the alpha stepped out onto the balcony for like ten minutes tops.
At least he hopes the omega doesn’t notice.
Louis noticed.
Harry didn’t even get one toe onto the ground before Louis is shifting in bed, blindly looking for the warmth of Harry’s body and the sight alone made Harry want to coo. Swollen little fingers tightened around the elder’s arm and Harry sighed as he shifted closer to the person beside him using his entire body to engulf the smaller lad. This, this wasn’t so bad. The smell was starting to evaporate and Harry could finally close his eyes and drift off into slumber once more.
Or at least he had hoped to drift off, but was soon awaken when a small psst sound came from in between familiar buttcheeks that belonged to his lover. Harry held his breath for as long as he could manage in the darkness of the room and was about to give Louis the benefit of the doubt when suddenly he felt the omega shake up and down. It took him a moment but he realized Louis was laughing. He was fucking laughing because he knew his farts were deadly and he thought it was funny. Harry was torn between wanting to marry the omega right then on the spot and dramatically flinging himself out of the room.
He did both.

Not everything has been rainbows and sunshine since Louis found out he was pregnant. There have been some tantrums, some mood swings, some crazy hunger cravings, and even mini waves of massive jealously. And then there’s been Louis. No but seriously, Harry has been handling the pregnancy a lot worse than Louis has because the Alpha is on a learning curve.
His inner Alpha just wants to scream MINE MINE MINE 24/7, not wanting Louis to even take a piss alone out of fear that his omega and pups would be harmed. Then there are moments when Harry just eats everything in sight because his metabolism has increased and he’s always just so hungry, and horny. It’s rather annoying really but Louis doesn’t seem to mind.
Liam and Niall do mind, Zayn not so much.
Zayn hasn’t been around much, he comes and goes just to check on Louis but he’s always busy these days and it hurts Harry because he knows Louis misses his friend but there isn’t anything the alpha can do about it. Zayn has a girlfriend now, and she constantly demands most of Zayn’s time and attention, must to Louis’ annoyance.
Harry made the mistake in teasing Louis once, saying he was just jealous because Zayn finally has an Omega of his own. Harry spent that night sleeping with Liam and Niall in their small bed and since then decided it was best not to tease Louis anymore.
That was another thing that changed. Liam and Niall have this thing going on where they sleep in the same bed every night but they don’t have sex. It makes zero sense to Harry but who is he to judge? The beta pair have been extremely helpful with handling Louis’ pregnancy so Harry just lets them be. Anne has been a great help with the pregnancy as well. She single handedly reformed Louis’ old room into a nursery completely decked out with lime green and blue everything. It looks adorable and Louis sat in one of the rocking chairs crying his eyes out the day the room was done.
Louis has been more emotional in the past months, the doctors all say it’s perfectly normal but Harry’s not so sure. He’s not so sure that the drugs Louis’ mum gave him were legit pills because Louis hasn’t been having normal side effects of being a pregnant Omega. Take for instance last month. Louis growled, not an Omega growl but one that made Harry shiver.
All the lads were out at lunch and a Beta Harry used to fuck around with came up to him flirting. She didn’t take the dismissal by Harry well; as a matter of fact she got so angry she threw a drink in Harry’s face and proceeded to walk away but was grabbed by Louis, who had jumped from out of his seat. The Omega growled in her face and pushed her onto the floor. Harry was terrified Louis was going to hit her so he grabbed his mate from behind only to have the smaller boy turn towards him with angry red eyes that quickly turned back blue.
Harry was startled and shaken and the boys were just as in shock as he. Louis acted as if nothing even happened so Harry brushed it off but he made a mental note. There were a lot of mental notes in his head by now. One mental note was that Louis was developing breasts. Not in a bad way but his chest was definitely more puffy and larger than before and that can’t be normal. What else isn’t normal is Louis’ energy. Sometimes the Omega can run a 7k and then other times he refuses to get out of the bed for days at a time.
Harry is out of his element and he is just so glad he has his family and the lads to keep him sane. He can’t wait to be a father and he just hopes Louis is okay in the process.

Louis’ tummy is hurting and he can’t stop frowning at the cup of ginger ale in his hand. He misses beer, like really misses beer and smoking. He misses weed so much and he is so upset because his tummy won’t stop hurting and the ginger ale in his hand refuses to turn into beer no matter how long he stares at it. It’s all so frustrating. The icing on top of the cake is the fact that Zayn hasn’t been home in a few days because his new girlfriend is a clingy piece of shit.
Not that Louis is jealous or anything because he’s not. It’s just he misses Zayn, Harry is ignoring him in favor of playing the Wii and his ginger ale doesn’t contain any liquor. Needless to say Louis’ a tad bit agitated.
“Lou, why are you giving me vibes?” Harry questions, still playing the game and not bothering to turn around to look at his mate. Louis frowns at the back of Harry’s big head.
“That sounded dirty, like the time you asked Niall’s gran to cultivate you.” Louis states. Harry chuckles and leans back against the couch so Louis could reach the top of his head and scratch.
“I didn’t mean it in a naughty way you pervert. I can feel the angry waves coming off of you ten fold.” Harry smiles at his mate. Louis sighs again, heavily.
“I don’t like Zayn’s girlfriend. I mean he hasn’t been home in days because of her and I think they’re moving too fast. Don’t you think they’re moving too fast?” Louis huffs. Harry hums but doesn’t respond verbally and Louis nips at the alpha’s neck.
“I mean don’t you agree that she’s annoying? And what’s with all the eggs? She cooks eggs like every fucking morning and the flat smelled like curry for a week straight that one time she stayed over for a couple days.” Louis rants. Harry gasps and turns around to point a scolding finger towards Louis.
“Louis, did you just make a racist comment?” Harry frowns. Louis frowns at being scolded at.
“No I didn’t. I say she smelled like curry because she fucking smells like curry. The crazy bitch puts it in everything she makes including eggs! Who the fuck does that?” Louis shouts and Harry places a hand over his mouth.
“Don’t call women bitches’ Lou, it’s not proper.” Is all Harry says in return and then the alpha goes back to playing his game while Louis sulks. Louis wasn’t done complaining about Zayn’s girlfriend yet and he wants his alpha’s attention back on him. So in a haste decision he gets up and unplugs the gaming system.
Harry’s fingers freeze on the controller and he simply blinks at the blank screen because he didn’t save. He’s spent two fucking months beating a level he finally beat and he didn’t save and Louis just turned the game off.
Cold eyes turned towards the pregnant Omega and Louis at least has enough audacity to look ashamed while trying to crawl into the alpha’s lap; looking as small and cute as possible.
“I might have over reacted.” Louis admits. Harry’s eyes widen and his eyebrows raise at the statement.
“Over reacted??? 2 months Louis! 2 fucking months beating that damn level and now I’ve got to start all over again…I should fucking spank you or something. What do proper alpha’s do to bad omega’s??” Harry shouts. Louis tucks his face into Harry’s neck and wraps arms around the elder, whose lap he was sitting in. Harry peels the boy away to give him a stern look.
“What has gotten into you?” Harry questions and Louis’ voice softens as he responds.
“I don’t know…” Louis mumbles and Harry instantly feels like shit for shouting.
“Are you? Are you jealous that Zayn’s got a girl?” Harry asks tentatively. Louis scrunches up his nose and tucks his nose into Harry’s neck, trying to burrow himself further into his alpha.
“No, I just, I don’t know. I just want some attention.” Louis admits with a blush on his cheeks and Harry smiles standing up abruptly. Louis, startles, clung to Harry’s broad shoulders as Harry placed him on the couch.
“If my Omega wants my attention then he will have my attention. I am at your service M’ lord. Do to me as you wish.” Harry states with a smile on his face as lifted up Louis’ shirt to blow raspberries on his tummy. Louis squeals and claps his hands as Harry kept kissing him all over. This is what Louis needs, ginger ale be damned.

Louis was seven months pregnant, he was a small seven months but pregnant none the less and with Harry’s twins. The twins were growing at a rapid speed according to their Dr. and the result has been more pressure on Louis’ bladder and frequent mood swings. Harry has taken it all in stride, priding himself in knocking up the cute Omega and dedicating his life to making sure his future mate is always happy at all times.
For the most part Louis has been happy, he’s been in bloody paradise but there’s just a slight problem. He gets these anger moods where he can’t remember what happens and the second thing is that he doesn’t like Zayn’s girlfriend, Annabelle. Even her name reminds Louis of an evil doll or something, and he hates how whipped the alpha is for the omega girl.
The Bride of Chucky isn’t the only thing aggravating Louis. Niall and Liam are slowly but surely working to get on his bad side as well because the pair have been insufferable lately, and by insufferable Louis means INSUFFERABLE! The two are like a pair of naughty school boys always looking to get into something different.
Liam is in his ‘I feel like a brand new man’ phrase which means instead of blowing stuff up on accident because he’s trying to prepare for the ‘end of the world’ he’s blowing stuff up on purpose in preparation to ‘kick the world’s ending arse’ which makes zero sense to Louis but apparently it makes loads of sense to Liam and Niall.
Louis feels like cringing just thinking about it, it’s been a long seven months indeed and he still hasn’t talked with his mum. Lottie visits often mostly because she has a crush on Harry and refuses to admit it; she just sits around blinking at the alpha while sighing fondly. Louis knows the feeling.
Louis does work still, even though it’s mostly from the flat, and Aiden pops up to visit every so often; he would visit every day but Harry somehow just knows when Aiden is about to be around and decides to just ‘be in the neighborhood’ which is a load of shit and a half but Louis doesn’t have the heart to call the alpha out on it. It’s just the way Harry has been since the doctor’s told them they were having twin boys.
Harry has been on extra alert, his senses turned up to max mode and everything is happening in transition almost. The alpha is experiencing so many intense emotions all at once for the first time and he’s having to learn how to control them for the safety of Louis and himself. The Omega is just glad Harry hasn’t gone back to his old ways, even though there’s a small part in the back of his mind that is wondering will Harry have ‘wandering’ eyes? Will the alpha miss being single and slip up, even though he loves Louis?
Harry is subjected to fucking up like anybody else but Louis isn’t ready for that to happen, he doesn’t want that to happen and will be damned if he lets it happen. Which is why he is so clingy attached to Harry; he wants to keep the alpha grounded and to remind the elder that he has a pregnant Omega, whom he loves, waiting for him at home; the same home that seems to always be invaded by stinky omega girls who keep making eggs for breakfast and refuse to leave.

“Louis would you like help down the stairs?” Niall asked while peering into Louis and Harry’s bedroom.
Louis gave Niall a pointed look before rolling his body to a sitting up position on the bed, giving a massive sigh after doing so because there’s a lot of extra weight to be hauling around.
“Do you remember the last time you and Liam ‘helped’ me do anything ??” Louis questioned the Beta with a rise of his brow and Niall coughed into his hand.
“I seem to recall giving you what you had asked for…” Niall tries to defend and Louis scoffs as he stands.
“What I had asked for??? When I suggested a water bed, you two thought cutting my bed open, removing the cotton, and then replacing the cotton with water was the appropriate way of making a water bed….Like what the fuck even.” Louis mentioned as he walked, (he does not waddle okay??) to the door to brush past Niall.
“It was an honest mistake, anyone would have made the same judgment call when a pregnant Omega is screaming at you at five in the morning to get him a water bed and there’s an angry Alpha yelling at you to ‘fucking make it happen!’” Niall defended with a huff and the crossing of his arms.
“A five year old would have made that mistake maybe…” Louis murmured his response because he’s too tired to think of a proper comeback at the moment.
“Right…and maybe if you…” Niall began but promptly falls asleep and Louis throws his hands up groaning because it’s not fair that the Beta gets to fall asleep during an argument. At least now Louis has time to think of a proper comeback to why he gets to be a bossy and moody omega that makes unreasonable demands at five in the morning.

“Harold!!” Louis yelled as he reached the bottom of the stairs and noticed the alpha laughing on the couch with creepy chick.
Harry immediately stopped laughing and slid off the couch to hug his omega who shrugs him off to stare angry glances at the girl on the couch. Harry growls and grabs Louis by the hips to bring him back so the two could be skin to skin close.
“Harry darling, why did I come down stairs to find you laughing with her?” Louis asked in a mock sincere voice and Harry sighed while nosing Louis’ neck.
“I’m right here you know…” Annabelle called from the couch and Louis ignores her.
“I was sitting on the couch watching a show while you slept and then she came over at the same time you woke up; well I was going to go help you down the stairs but Niall offered instead so while waiting for you she showed me a video of this cat…” Louis put his hand up and looked at the girl before looking back to Harry, leaning closer to his Harry’s ear.
“I don’t want her here.” Louis whispered, not so quietly.
“Still right within listening distance.” Annabelle replied while rolling her eyes at the pregnant omega’s ridiculousness.
Harry sighed and rubbed his hand across his face carefully trying to think of something that will make everyone happy and by everyone he means Louis; because let’s face it. An angry Louis will make Harry’s life a living hell.
“Look Lou, she’s simply waiting for Zayn, why don’t you and I head back upstairs yeah?” Harry tried to offer but Louis seemed to dislike that solution.
“Or you can make her leave and she can come back when Zayn is here; no one wants her around anyways.” Louis spat and Harry took his right hand and grabbed Louis’ chin giving him a stern look.
“Louis William Tomlinson you need to stop it right now. Your friends come over all the time when you aren’t are home and we don’t kick them out.” Louis rolled his eyes and slapped Harry’s hand from off him.
“I have no friends! My only mate, outside you lot, is my boss whom you HAVE kicked out even while I was here!” Louis protested and threw his hands up for extra emphasis. Harry squinted his eyes before scratching at his hair.
“Okay bad example but you get my point; you can’t be mean Louis even if you dislike the person.” Louis opened his mouth to say something snarky back but was interrupted.
“Look I can go if I’m really being that much of a bother…” The bride of chucky, Annabelle, said while already standing up.
“You don’t have to go…” Harry got out before Louis cut in.
“Oh no? She doesn’t have to go?” Louis questioned and Harry quickly backtracks, not really knowing whose side to take because Louis is clearly in the wrong but Louis is the love of his life and mother to his unborn children so…
“You should probably go yeah.” Harry finally gets out in a quiet tone, and it’s clear in his voice that he is extremely apologetic but his hands are tied and for some reason Annabelle understood. She grabbed her purse, threw it over his shoulder and walked out of the flat, head held high.
Louis was being bratty and should feel ashamed but for some reason he couldn’t bring himself to care. He merely kissed Harry for taking his side and gave the alpha blow job in the kitchen for his troubles. If this taught Harry anything, it’s that taking Louis’ side is always the best option.

Zayn was pissed, he was beyond pissed and Louis was the only one home. Zayn must have known Harry was leaving for the day to go shopping with his mother and the alpha must have paid dumb & dumber to leave for the day as well; thus trapping Louis alone in the flat with an angry Zayn.
“You already know why I’m here.” Zayn began and Louis refused to look at him from his spot in the bed.
“Why are any of us here Zayn? We may never find out the answer to that question.” Louis responds softly and the alpha shakes his head from the door way.
“Louis don’t play coy with me, did you really think I wouldn’t find out what you and Harry did yesterday?” Honestly?? Louis didn’t think that far ahead, he couldn’t control it; he simply saw Annabelle and then saw red. He wanted her gone and that was that.
“I don’t know.” Louis murmurs as he shrugged his shoulders, trying to make himself smaller then what he is.
“You are such a little shit!” Zayn shouted and ran a hand over his face and then through his hair. He looked exhausted and frustrated all at the same time.
“’m sorry.” Louis croaked out and he had no idea why he’s crying but he is and he never meant to make Zayn angry. He just couldn’t control himself.
“For fucks sake stop crying or else my heart will break.” The alpha cried out as he went to sit on the bed beside Louis, gently rubbing the boys’ leg to give comfort.
“I just wanted her gone, that was all…I don’t know why I did it.” Louis slurred as he cried harder and Zayn makes a small whining noise in the back of his throat. It hurts him to see Louis hurt.
“It’s okay I broke up with her anyways…” Zayn replied and Louis instantly looked up at that, wiping snot from his nose with the back of his hand.
“Why?” The question is quiet and hesitant.
“I was informed that Annabelle being here was bad for your health.” Zayn stated sarcastically and Louis emitted a snort with the rolling of his eyes because of course it was Harry who told Zayn that information.
“I can’t believe Harry said the whole thing was about my health, and I can’t believe you gave up your relationship because Harry over reacts and I’m slightly hormonal.” Louis chastised and Zayn shook his head.
“You don’t get it Lou, this has nothing to do about her or even Harry, if she, or anyone for that matter, hurts you I’m going to always choose you yeah? Besides I was getting tired of eating eggs anyways…” A laugh emitted from Louis abruptly as he wiped his face.
“I fucking hate eggs.” The omega murmured and the alpha nodded while rubbing the boys’ back.
“But seriously though Lou, you don’t need to hide things from me especially things you don’t understand. Being an Omega is complicated and being pregnant is even more complicated and I can’t possibly understand or even begin to understand everything you go through but what I do know is that at the end of the day you won’t be able to fight your basic instincts no matter what they are.” Louis didn’t like that statement; he didn’t want to believe it to be true.
“They say alpha’s are aggressive, protective, and some even sluts; are you telling me at your base core you’re all those things?” Zayn leaned back to rest his back on the headboard trying to calculate his answer before responding.
“I’m sensing this is more about Harry then it is about me and if you’re wondering if I believe that he could slip back into his old ways then yes I do.” Louis stiffened and moved further away from the man beside him.
“Don’t be mad at me Louis I’m not saying anything to hurt you and for what it’s worth I firmly believe Harry will never hurt you and I know for a fact that you are the love of his life but if you ask me can he hurt you then yes…yes it’s possible and I pray that I’m wrong.” Louis turned his head away from Zayn to hide his tears and Zayn sighed, about to reach out and touch but was stopped by an angry Harry.
“He’s crying, Louis you’re crying. Why is it that Louis is always crying around you?” Harry questioned angrily.
Zayn sighed and questioned his life choices before standing up with his arms raised.
“We were just talking nothing more.” Zayn spoke and exited the room. Harry frowned at his retreating back about to say something when the door bell rang.
Louis was quick to get up so he could escape the room, and after hearing Zayn shout a string of curses the Omega and Harry were quick to go down the stairs and to the door.
Upon seeing what was making Zayn so angry Louis was pushed behind Harry because a very large alpha was standing in their flat and refusing to leave until his eyes caught Louis.
Louis didn’t recognize the guy but his inner Omega felt terrified because his alpha and Zayn were both on edge. The Alpha was about 6’4, had a massive torso, and was no hair. He had a beard and was wearing jeans and a plain shirt but Louis could practically see muscles bulging from the shirt.
“I told this shit to leave and he refused.” Zayn spoke and Harry stepped up, making his shoulders more broad to appear bigger.
“I have to speak to your Omega.” Louis scoffed from where he was.
“You speak to me or leave.” Harry demanded and the strange alpha’s face contorted before he gave a brief nod.
“Brad wasn’t the guy you think he was. I just found out something and I now know the real reason why he was killed. Just know that the guy who killed him wasn’t some ex con seeking revenge.” And just like the guy the strange alpha was gone. Louis wanted to run after him but Zayn and Harry were holding him back. He had a thousand questions, needed a million answers, and yet all he could do was slide down to the floor and cry. Niall and Liam both came into the flat, confused, but rushed towards Louis all the same. The lot held him as he cried.
He cried for his past, for his future, for his uncertainty, for everything. Louis never expected his life to be perfect but he certainly didn’t expect any of this. He’s just lucky he has Harry and his flatmates because with them by his side he’ll be able to make it through anything.
