A/N: Hey Fruity pies! Here's the next chapie I promised as a huge thank you for loving me enough to follow me.

Warning: still confusing plot (and that's the way I like it 😉)
Enjoy!

Spencer pulled up to Tyler’s house. It was pretty late and he assumed everyone was asleep by now. He sighed because the brunette was still passed out and showed no signs of waking up soon. So the doctor was on his own. He reached over to get his house keys from the boy’s pocket and got out the car. Once he had the front door open he went back to get his drunk friend.

“Man you're heavier than you look Ty.” Spencer groaned as he carried him upstairs. The brunette growled in response, but stayed asleep. The Doctor rolled his eyes as he made it to his room. Spencer tripped and nearly dropped Tyler. “What the hell is that?” He went to turn on the lights to see Josh laying on the floor. “See I told you Tyler! The poor boy is in as bad as a state as you.” Spencer sighed as he laid Tyler down and went to pick Josh up from the floor.

Spencer tucked them in and smiled. As crazy as Tyler could get, he really deserved someone as sweet as Josh. Even if he was only half. He then left to go back home to his own mate.

Josh’s eyes fluttered open when he felt a warmth coming from behind him. He turned to see Tyler sleeping with his arm tightly around his waist. He wanted to run, but he noticed the brunette was mumbling in his tired stupor.

“Hmm Josh…you're mine…..I love my Joshie...all mine.” Tyler drooled as he pulled him closer and rubbed his stomach. Josh blushed. His heart was all a flutter by the sweet words. He couldn't help becoming relaxed again. All the events of the day suddenly forgotten and forgiven.

“We love you too Tyler.” Josh whispered back. He laid down and ran his hand up and down Tyler’s arm that felt his stomach. He moaned softly before he too went back to sleep. Safe in his mate’s arms.

Josh woke up to the shower going. He rubbed his eyes to focus as the room seemed pretty bright this morning. His stomach growled for food, but he wanted to check up on Tyler first. Half to make sure he was in a better mood than yesterday and half because he needed to be near him. Damn hormones.

Josh walked into the steamy bathroom to see that Tyler was still inside. So he took the liberty of stripping off his clothes and getting in with him. “Hey Ty how you feeling?” He kissed his boyfriend’s cheek as his hands rubbed his chest from behind.

“Shit...but that's what I get for getting drunk last night.” Tyler giggled as he turned around to look at him. “You look good too, but then again you always do.” He winked. Josh laughed and moved closer. They kissed under the hot stream of water. It was soft and passionate. Just like when they first started dating.

“Since we're here why don't we…” Josh quirked his eyebrows at his insinuation. Tyler smiled.

“As much as I would love to, I got a meeting with my editor this morning, but I'll make you feel real good when I get home tonight. Alright?” Tyler suggested with a kiss.

“Well why don't I just tag along, I'd love to see you in your work element.” Josh offered.

“It'll be boring for you and you wouldn't like being held up in my office all day.” Tyler said as he stepped out of the shower. Josh pouted as he washed up instead. The brunette then dried off and had a towel around his waist while he brushed his teeth.

“Well can you at least take me home and-” Josh started.

“You are home Josh.” Tyler growled slightly at his remark. The yellow haired boy quickly shrunk at his harsh tone. He didn't mean to upset him.

“W-we're sorry Tyler….w-we just wanted to get our clothes from our grandma’s place. Your clothes are too big for us.” Josh said sadly as he rinsed his hair. His instincts taking over.

“Well they won't be for long so it'll be better if you just wore mine instead of your tight fitting attire.” Tyler countered as he washed his face.

“B-but we’re not gonna get big that fast. Women are pregnant for like nine months….so it’ll be pretty much the same right?” Josh asked as he felt his tummy. He was met with silence. “R-right Tyler?” He repeated as he stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around his waist.

“More or less. Either way I think you two would be safer indoors sweetie.” Tyler kissed Josh and went back to the room to get dressed. Josh quickly followed him. He was slipping on his pants.

“W-what are you talking about. We’ll be fine. All we want is-” Josh tried.

“AND I SAID NO!” Tyler roared. Josh flinched at the sudden raise in his voice. “Look baby…..I got a lot on my mind right now, but we can talk about it when I get back tonight.” He sighed as he buttoned up his shirt. The yellow haired boy only frowned. He didn't want to wait he wanted to talk now. That's when it hit him. Tyler went in for a goodbye kiss. He didn't kiss back.

“Y-you intend to keep us trapped here don't you?” Josh whimpered with tears welling up in his eyes. Tyler face showed no protest nor affirmation to his question.

“Make sure you eat something today, I don't want you getting sick.” Tyler said as he completely bypassed his mate’s question. He then left out of the room. Josh just broke down crying. He had no intentions of giving up his freedom just to love Tyler. He really didn't want to keep this baby if that meant imprisonment for the rest of his life.

Josh was crying so hard that he soon became sick to his stomach. He ran back to the bathroom to throw up. He puked everything he didn't have to give. His body was so weak once he finished. The boy slowly got up and wrapped his towel tighter around himself. He went to go lay down. Josh was asleep before his head hit the pillow.

Josh awoke hours later to his tummy grumbling for food again. He saw that it was now past noon. He must've been more tired than he thought. With another groan on his stomach he dragged himself up. “Alright alright honey let me get dressed and we're gonna eat. I promise.” Josh sighed as he went to the dresser. He then blushed as he realized that he just spoke to his baby.  Yeah that still felt weird to think about.

The yellow haired boy brushed those thoughts aside and threw anything on he could find. Just some leggings and a large shirt. Something for comfort nothing more. Josh looked down to his belly and wondered exactly how he'd look all swollen with a baby. Well Brendon didn't look bad even if his baby bump was small. It was still bigger than Josh’s.

And that train of thought made him start to wonder about the dark haired boy. So he decided to find him and see if they could eat together. Josh checked the library first since that was where he found him last time. Yet he wasn't by the window seal. Josh was about to leave when he heard a small sniffle. He turned to see someone tucked away in the shadow of the few shelves. “B-brendon?” He asked as he got closer.

“J-josh? I-is that you?” Brendon crawled out and stood up. The boy looked very pale. He wore a black turtleneck, a thick pink wool shawl, and black leggings. He appeared even smaller compared to Josh than he did the day before. Which was surprising seeing how the boy never made his presence known much.

“Brendon w-what wrong? Y-you look so….dead, b-but that doesn't make any sense.” Josh exclaimed as he rushed to hold him.

“No I'm just feeling a little under the weather-” Brendon gasped once he felt Josh press up against him. He quickly pulled away from their hug.

“Brendon did I do something wrong? Y-you really don't look so good.” Josh moved closer worry present on his face.

“I'm fine really Josh nothing to worry about.” Brendon defended as he was sweating from the pain of the cuts on his stomach. The yellow haired boy observed how he was cradling his belly.

“Brendon let me see your stomach.” Josh demanded.

“What?” Brendon blushed and tried to giggle away his nervousness. He continued to back away from him. Josh then pinned him against the wall. “Josh no PLEASE!” He begged as the other boy yanked up his shirt to see the nasty claw marks on his skin.

“BRENDON WHO DID THIS TO YOU!? WAS IT HIM!?” Josh yelled frantically at him. Brendon only cried and nodded his head. He couldn't deny it when the proof was all right there. Josh was fuming with anger he could've hurt the baby if he had cut him deep enough. “Where else did he hurt you?” He whispered as he tried to comfort the crying boy.

“Here…” Brendon sniffed as he lifted up his wrist. They had scratches and bruising. The yellow haired boy frowned. “A-and…” The dark haired omega broke down in tears as he pulled down the collar on his turtleneck to reveal dark purplish hand prints on his neck.

“Brendon!” Josh gasped and pulled him tight to his chest. This time careful of his stomach.

“Don't worry…..we're fine they’ll heal in no time at all. I-it's just hard for us to sleep so we can heal.” Brendon said as he wiped his tears away. “Anyway I'm glad you look better.” He smiled sadly. In his mind he was going for joy, but his face didn't really express that.

“Brendon….you gotta tell me what is going on here.” Josh demanded to know. The dark haired boy turned away from him.

“There’s nothing to tell.” Brendon answered. He held himself tight.

“That's a damn lie and you know it! I've seen the damage done to both you and me, the yellow eyes, the fucking pregnancy for God sakes!” Josh yelled at him. He didn't mean to take out his frustration on him, but he needed answers. “Now tell me what the hell is going on here Brendon…..please” He pleaded this time.

“I can't….” Was all the boy said with his back still turned to him.

“Can't or won't?” Josh challenged. He was fed up with the secrets around here and the last person he thought would lie to him was Brendon.

“DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THEY’LL HURT ME WORSE THAN THIS! THEY’LL KILL MY BABY, BELIEVE ME THEY’VE DONE IT BEFORE JUST TO HURT ME!” Brendon cried as he turned around to face Josh. Anger and sadness painted his face at the mere memory of it all. He cradled his stomach. “We may not like what we have to endure, but we love our baby…..no matter what…” He hung his head and cried more. Josh rushed to hold him.

“Shh I'm so sorry Brendon…I had no idea they did that to you.” Josh apologized as he combed his fingers through his hair. “I had a talk with Tyler this morning…..and he intends to keep us here too, but we refuse.” He said sternly. Brendon looked up to him with confusion. “Brendon do you still trust me?” The yellow haired boy asked.

“Y-yes, but what does that have to do-” Brendon wasn't sure where he was going with his words.

“Then we're leaving this place forever.” Josh stated.

“N-no we can't. Josh you don't know what they would do to us if we get caught!” Brendon pushed away from him. “Besides it's not so bad here…I-I mean we have a home, a safe home with mates who love us and will protect us…..a-and good omega's must obey their alphas.” The poor boy started to ramble as he paced the room. He seemed to be in a trance of some sort. Josh figured this was how the boy rationalized his situation.

“But are you happy being their slave?” Josh asked honestly. Brendon stopped walking. “Brendon don't you miss seeing the clouds and feeling the wind on your face?” He moved closer.

“Y-yes…..” Brendon whispered as he tried to blink away his tears. “B-but Josh-”

Josh pulled him into a deep kiss. Brendon easily melted by his lips. He lightly caressed his belly, earning a needy moan from the pregnant omega. Brendon held on tight to Josh. He desperately wanted to feel love. Real love. Not whatever feelings that were forced onto him by hormones he couldn't control. Even though it was going against everything he was taught growing up, Brendon knew he wanted this new half omega that promised him freedom.

“No buts Brendon, we're leaving here tonight.” Josh said sternly. He smiled as he continued to rub Brendon’s belly. “All of us.”
