Villain Saving System (BL)

Oliver’s hand flew to his mouth, a quiet gasp escaped his lips. He slowly looked down at his own stomach in disbelief, wonder, and amazement. His voice was barely a soft whisper. "I am...pregnant?"

"That’s right, Your Highness." Oblivious — or to be exact, heedless — of the omega’s shock, Doctor Verren flipped through the file atop of his desk and showed it to them with a smile. "This is the sonogram that’s printed after we have done a full-body check up on you." He pointed at a little white dot swimming amidst the monochrome photograph and Oliver’s hand shook violently as he reached out to stroke it. Tears brimming in his eyes. "This is your fetus, it’s a bit shaken after the incident but overall, everything is okay. But I have to confirm something though. Your Highness Prince Oliver, you didn’t consume the vial I offered you last time, right?"

Oliver shook his head, flustered. "N—No, I didn’t! I swear I didn’t!" He let out a sigh of relief and proceeded to wrap his arms around his belly, gingerly, hesitantly, not even daring to put on the slightest pressure. Everything suddenly clicked in place. The nausea he felt every morning, the obvious lethargy, the mood swings and... the dream. The silver wings and large adorable silver eyes; grabby paws and soft, tiny body. Oliver couldn’t hold back his sobs. So the dream was real... he thought that it was his yearning that had manifested into a wishful dream, but he was wrong. His child, his child with Altair, had come to visit him in the dream.

"Okay, it’s good that you didn’t. At first, I was quite worried that there would be some complications during your pregnancy because of that but now that I have received your confirmation, I am rest assured."

Oliver was too overwhelmed with the news to register what the doctor said. He belatedly realized that he was still holding on to the Alpha’s hand and tugged on it. "Altair...!" His smile faltered as he took in Lu Yizhou’s frozen expression. Oh, they had never discussed having children before, he thought with a sinking realization. Oliver had always assumed that they were both okay with it but...was it not the case? "Altair, is there something wrong? Are you not...happy?"

Lu Yizhou snapped out of his stupor and tore his eyes away from the sonogram to look down at his mate. The omega’s golden eyes were nervous, blinking with apprehension and anxiety that he couldn’t mask. Lu Yizhou promptly went down on one knee so that Oliver wouldn’t have to strain his neck to look up at him. He grasped both of Oliver’s hands in his. "How can I not be happy? It’s your child."

"Our." Oliver corrected, relieved. His face broke into a dazzling smile "It’s our child."

"Our child." Lu Yizhou repeated, the word sounded foreign on his tongue. Pregnant. Oliver was pregnant with their child. Tension released from his shoulders, one that he didn’t know he had, upon seeing the twinkle of happiness in Oliver’s eyes. Right, he could do this. He could cherish them both, Oliver and their child. He imagined a small version of Oliver in this world and his heart softened just the same.

"Are you so surprised that you can’t react on time?" Oliver grinned, wide and mischievous.

Lu Yizhou hummed.
