Chapter Twenty-Two
Ben
The doctor appointment with Dr. Simmons had me nervous as hell which was stupid. If there had been anything wrong, Cory would’ve said. But he always fluffed off these in-between appointments saying they were just blood pressure and weight checks, and then all of a sudden, he wanted us in there.
Levi seemed to think it was just because he would still have Tobias, but that didn’t make sense, either. Tobias had gone to many of the appointments as did many babies and toddlers from the look of the waiting room as I entered the office. I checked in at the intake desk to find out I was the first of our family to arrive so I snagged a seat.
Within two minutes, Levi came strolling in with his arm wrapped around Cory, whose face was beaming as he pushed a stroller with our sleeping son inside it.
“You look happy.” I greeted them both with a peck on the cheek which earned me more than a couple of jealous looks. Oh well. I wasn’t going to hide my happiness for fear others would wish they had it, too. That was just plain silliness.
“You, are looking at a future faculty member at the college.” Levi was beaming. I couldn’t blame him. I was pretty darn proud myself, and I had none of the details.
“Did you finally get in to see the professor? He came around?” When he got the call and had to go last minute, he shot us a message and my first instinct was to race home to accompany him, even if it was overbearing and possessive. Knowing Cory went there without us was hard, even though it was how it was supposed to be, and Cory was one of the most capable human beings I’d ever met. It was just my alpha instincts running extra hard with him carrying our baby.
And the baby was ours. The doctor had offered to see exactly which of us gave the winning donation, but we didn’t care. Or we only sort of cared. We did agree to a test at birth to go into his medical records in case there was an emergency and the information became necessary. There was no way with a sexy firefighter who knew the dangers out there in the mix, that he would’ve allowed that precaution to not be in place.
The married thing was still a bit of a weird thing I was dealing with, not that I mentioned it aloud. I was married to Levi. I loved him. It was great. But I was as equally committed to Cory so having the title for one but not the other felt off. I’d eventually need to man up and have the conversation that needed to be had. The only reason I’d chickened out so far was that I couldn’t think of a legally binding solution, and with him being pregnant, anything less than a solution would only cause more trouble than it helped.
“No.” Cory’s firm reply snapped me back to the conversation at hand. “He very much did not come around.”
“And yet you are faculty?” I was so very much confused.
“Not am but can be. It’s a long story but I have a new advisor, and things look more promising than since before I even met you.” He bit his lip and looked just to the side of me. “You know what I mean. On the collegiate front.” That blush was going to be the death of me.
“Cory.” The nurse called from the side door I failed to notice had opened, and we all headed in. She took his vitals and had him pee in a cup, which somehow was connected to his blood pressure that was fine. I didn’t get it, but they did it every time, so I just waited and tried not to worry.
Not worrying was challenging to say the least, especially after his belly grew and gave me a visual reminder he was carrying our child every time he was in view.
“Right in here. You can just hop up on the table, and we’ll check the little bundle’s heartbeat before the doctor comes in.”
We somehow finagled three grown men, a stroller, and the nurse into the tiny room, and Levi helped Cory up on the table, much to the amusement of our nurse. He was lying down, and she was rubbing the wand around his belly in only a few seconds. It was routine for them, but still awe-inspiring to me.
The second that little heartbeat filled the room, my own started beating faster. There was a baby in our omega—for real. Of course I know that, but every time I heard that heartbeat it made it more real. I couldn’t even imagine what it was going to be like when the baby was big enough for Levi and I to be able to feel their kicks.
“Sounds perfect,” the nurse said before wiping his belly and offering him a hand to sit up. “The doctor will be in shortly.”
She left, and we all just stared at the door. Well, all of us except for little Tobias who was sleeping away. He had no idea he had even come to the doctor’s yet.
Three knocks on the door and then Dr. Simmons walked on in.
“Good afternoon, fellows. Looks like everything is going great according to the chart. How are you feeling?”
“Great. I have a ton of energy lately, and that eating bananas thing really works on those calf spasms.”
Calf spasms? How had I not known about that?
“Excellent.” The doctor clicked his pen. “And the heartbeat was good and strong, your BP was perfect. I think you are good to go unless you have any questions.”
I could see Levi refraining from asking his question. He and I both shared the same one. Cory was getting hotter by the second, and adding to that, his asking for us to be a little more adventurous in bed had that hotness amplified. But he was pregnant and, as alphas, we were hardwired to protect. Except he kept requesting more so asking the doctor what was and was not safe was prudent. Except it was one of those things we should’ve discussed with Cory first.
“Actually, I do have a question, Doctor.” Levi and I both snapped our heads in Cory’s direction. “It’s about sex.”
“Ahhh, I am guessing you don’t mean for me to describe how it’s done since your sweet baby growing inside you is a pretty strong indicator that you already know.” Dr. Simmons winked.
“Well, see, that’s the thing. My alphas here...” He pointed to each of us, and the thrill of hearing him refer to us that way had me standing taller like a fool. “They think because I’m knocked up, I’m fragile. And I was hoping you could clarify what we can and cannot do in the bedroom because it has been far too long since I got myself a good spanking.”
Oh, he was so messing with us, and the doctor knew it and cracked up.
“Let’s see. You want a specific list, not just a generic whatever-you-feel-comfortable-with blanket clause, right?” He was trying not to laugh. I just closed my eyes and shook my head.
“That would be for the best. And if you could specifically mention things like bondage, spanking, and such, that would be amazing.” Cory was having far more fun at my discomfort than he should’ve but, honestly, the knowledge he sought was what we needed, so I bit my tongue.
“So, sex is fine in pretty much all positions, although I’d recommend not having any double penetration unless of course you are one of the penetrators.”
I was not going to die of embarrassment in the doctor’s office. I was not. And neither was Levi, who was pretending there was something interesting on his blasted shoe.
“That would make sounding and fisting out, too, right, Doctor?” Cory barely got it out without a smirk.
“Indeed, but not a spanking, which I have a feeling you are trying to earn.”
Who was this doctor? And why was Cory not embarrassed because, honestly, I was.
“But, aside from that, you pretty much have free rein. I mean, obviously no heavy rope work, but if you like a little hand tied to the headboard, go for it, as long as you practice common sense safety precautions.” The doctor pulled a paper off of the script pad in his coat and wrote on it before handing it to Cory. “So, pretty much, go home and have all the fun before your belly gets too in the way and you are limited in positions. See you at your next appointment?”
“You will, and probably these guys, too, unless they’ve died from embarrassment.”
“Have a good rest of your day, guys, and alphas?”
“Yeah,” Levi answered as I nodded.
“It has been a while since I had that much fun at work. Thanks for that.” He slapped us both on the shoulders and wandered on out.
“Levi, Ben? I need to go drop Tobias off at Brent’s for the rest of the afternoon.” He hopped off the table and grabbed the stroller with one hand before handing Levi the script with his other. “And we are going to need to fill this when I get back.”
He exited the exam room before I made it over to Levi and read the paper: Have all the sex before the baby comes and a great night is getting all the sleep.
“Huh, looks like Cory set us up.” Levi wrapped his arm around me. “He really does deserve a spanking.”
“He very much does. The Tobias going to Brent’s thing—did you know about that? Am I forgetting something?” I asked.
“I did not. Sneaky little omega. Damn, we are lucky.”
“So very much so.” I kissed him briefly, knowing we were expected to have left with our omega. “Let’s get home. Sounds like we have a little afternoon delight headed our way.”
We walked out together, hand in hand, only breaking apart as we reached our respective vehicles. I drove straight home, knowing I would be there before Cory, even though Brent lived not too far. Levi was already in the driveway when I pulled in.
“So what do you think?” I asked as Levi shut the door behind us and reached down to pet a very excited Molly.
“I think we let Molly out and then follow the doctor’s orders.” He walked to the back door, Molly only an inch behind him as I kept up. He opened the door, letting Molly out. She loved her new freedom with the fence.
“He wants us to be less—”
“Boring.” Levi finished my thought. And we kind of had been. We sucked as alphas.
“That.” I sighed. “So what should we do?”
“Anything he wants.” Levi was always the smart one of us.
Cory walked into the house only ten minutes later, a smile on his face and a bounce in his step.
“On a scale of one to ten, how mad are you guys?” he asked in a teasing tone.
“Pretty pissed, actually, so maybe an eight—nine I think.” Levi took a step forward and tilted Cory’s chin up with one finger. “You have been having calf spasms and failed to tell us?”
“That. Yeah. Just two, and I didn’t mean to not tell you. They just happened when you weren’t around.”
We both just gave him the stink eye.
“And I promise to remember to report those kinds of things in the future.” He crossed his heart with his pointer finger.
“Levi here says we should do whatever you want because doctor’s orders and all that. I’m thinking you’ve been very naughty, so I’m not so sure.” My stern voice was failing miserably, which was why I was so very bad at role playing. “But I guess it wouldn’t hurt to hear what you want.”
“Since you asked.” He tapped his chin. “I had plans. Many plans. Possibly using the headboard and some of those silk scarves we have.” He walked behind the couch as he spoke. “But that is so far. An entire staircase away. I think, instead, I want you on the couch right here, Levi—cock out, of course.”
He didn’t have to say that twice. I don’t think I’d ever seen Levi scurry that quickly. There was something about when Cory got all bossy that had Levi extra hot and bothered. It was magnificent.
Levi sat on the couch, palming his erection, his head tilted back to watch our sexy omega getting all bossy in the best possible way.
“Now, Benjamin, it’s no fair that your cock is hidden. Might as well whip it out, too.”
I immediately complied.
“I was thinking that I need to be thoroughly fucked, but at the same time I need a snack.”
I was very on board with the way that he was going, not that I ever wasn’t, but I’d let my worry get in the way. Dr. Simmons deserved a bonus for taking that worry from me—from both of us.
“So here’s what we are going to do. I’m going to take off these clothes because I am blasted hot.” He so very much was even if that wasn’t how he meant it, and the groan that came from Levi told me he felt the same.
Cory slipped out of his clothes, his rounded belly drawing all my attention. He was carrying our baby and holy cow I’d never seen anything sexier. Of course, I said that every time I saw him, but it was true. He was sexier by the day.
“So, Ben, I am going to need you to get a little handsy here and bend me over the arm of this couch so I can suck my cock and by my, I mean the one attached to our sexy alpha.” I nodded, knowing that this moment meant something to Cory, and our complying was a huge part of that. “And then I need you to take me hard and fast, only coming after I do, which I fear will be far too soon, but that is all on you—both of you—for thinking me fragile.” He scoffed.
I followed his directions to a T, even being a little more forceful than I wanted, knowing he needed it, needed this moment. I watched as he swallowed Levi whole and had to look away before I was the one coming too soon. I spread his legs a little to give him better balance before trying to nonchalantly check to make sure his belly wasn’t being squished in any way, and it wasn’t. The arm was the perfect width for what he had in mind. Heck, for all I knew, he’d measured it. He was the researcher in the family.
I reached down to find him slick and waiting, and lined myself up before entering him in one swift motion as I knew he wanted. I grabbed his hips and waited for him to push back a little before pivoting inside him with all the abandoned I knew he wanted. And, true to his premonition, none of us made it long, Levi coming down Cory’s throat only seconds before Cory was coming on the side of our thankfully leather coach, and finally me filling our omega. It was exactly what we needed. Smart omega. Ours.
“Don’t think this gets you out of your spanking,” Levi teased as he recovered slightly from his orgasm. I’d already scooped Cory into my arms knowing he was going to need a nap. We all were.
“I was hoping not,” he spoke sleepily. “Nap first?”
“Yeah nap first. Then spanking. What time did you say we were picking up Tobias?” Levi got up, grabbed a cleaning wipe, and cleaned up the obvious mess. The rest could be dealt with post nap.
“Tomorrow morning at nine, we pick up the kids.”
We all headed out of the living room, Cory still blissfully in my arms.
“Kids. This babysitting was quid pro quo.” I chuckled. How had we never thought of that before.
“Something like that. So worth it.” He closed his eyes, nestling in close as we headed up the staircase.
He was right. It was so very much worth it.
