Louis and Niall walk into school together, their alphas behind them. Niall smiles sympathetically at Louis when he notices the people staring at him. Louis reaches behind him to grab one of his alphas. Edward is there, holding his hand and asking what's wrong.

"They're staring," Louis whispers. He nuzzles his face into Edwards neck, clinging onto him desperately.
"Hey, it's okay. I've got you, baby," Edward soothes.
"Daddy, I don't like it," Louis pouts.
"I know, love. But there's nothing we can do about it."
"They're just jealous, Lou," Harry tells him, kissing his hair. Louis peers up at his other alphas and raises a questioning eyebrow.
"Of what?" He asks.
"Us for having such a beautiful omega and you for having mates to three alphas young," Marcel answers.

They talk for a few more minutes before they start walking to their class again.
"Science 4," Louis reminds them.
"We know, babe."

Niall walks with Liam and Zayn behind the triplets and Louis.
"You need to wait for us once your class has finished. We're going to set up a meeting with a head of year to make sure we can get you out of lesson before everyone else to keep you and our baby safe," Liam explains. Zayn rubs Liam's back comfortingly.
"Don't worry, Li. Everything will be fine. He's always going to be with one of us. Harry, Edward and Marcel will look after him too."

Niall kisses Liam and Zayn once they're at the classroom, patting his head.
"I'll be okay, babe. Promise."

Liam huffs and nuzzles Niall again. Zayn chuckles, but joins in to scent his boyfriends.
"Kisses," Niall demands, puckering his lips. Liam smiles and kisses him slowly and moves away when Zayn pinches his bum.

"It's too hot," Louis whines.
"Lou, it's November, it's not hot at all. You feeling okay?" Marcel asks worriedly.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. It's probably just a cold or I'm just nervous for my first day back," Louis dismisses.
"Promise?" Harry say. Louis rolls his eyes and nods.
"Just come and get us if you need to," Edward tells him.

Louis kisses his alphas quickly, reassuring them he'll be fine and so will Niall before he and Niall go into the class together.

They're given notes from what they've missed to put in their books and whisper quietly to each other throughout the lesson. Niall absentmindedly rubs his belly, grinning when Louis points it out.

"It's about time!" Niall laughs when his alphas arrive. The triplets are shocked when Louis clings tightly to them.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Marcel asks.
"I haven't been away from you for ages and I really missed you," Louis sighs. "I feel all needy again!"
Harry makes a sympathetic noise and rubs his shoulders.
"It's okay, we're in drama together now. And Edward and Marcel are only round the corner so we will see them straight away."

Harry and Louis walk hand in hand to drama once they've parted from the other two. They sit next to each other, holding hands as they listen to their teacher.

Louis flicks Harry's nose when he starts nuzzling him as they work.
"I'm too warm Harry, please stop," Louis complains.
"Harry, pay attention. Leave Louis alone," the teacher sighs. Harry growls quietly.
"Haz, it's okay," Louis soothes. "Look I'm literally right next to you, you can stop scenting me."
"Need to smell of us," Harry mumbles. The teacher rolls his eyes and goes to another student to help them.

"You've knotted me how many times? Surely I smell of you," Louis whispers.
"Not enough times," Harry huffs. Louis pats at his curls.
"Love, I need to finish this monologue."

Harry picks him and puts him on his knee, humming contently.
"Haz are you okay?" Louis asks. "You smell strong. Like really strong."

Harry nods and licks at his mark on Louis' neck. Louis shakes his head and turns to sit on the side.
"Look at me, Harry."

Harry looks up, eyes wide and pupils blown.
"C'mon, let's go get your brothers."

Louis explains to his teacher that something is happening with his rut and they immediately let them go. He has to drag Harry along with him to Marcel and Edward's classroom.

"Excuse me, I need to talk to Marcel and Edward. It's about Harry," Louis explains, looking desperately at the teacher. She nods her head to give the boys permission.

"What's wrong with him?" Louis asks them. But then he's pressed against the wall.
"You're going into heat early. We need to get home," Edward grumbles, kissing Louis heatedly. "That's why you felt all hot this morning, why you felt needy and why we are clingy."

Edward is the only one coherent enough to explain why they need to leave and he gets Zayn, Liam and Niall out of school to drive them home. One of them could have come, but they don't want Niall away from either of them at any time.

The triplets sit in the back with Louis on Marcel's knee. He is letting them all nuzzle him, basking in the attention. Harry and Edward are either side of Marcel and Louis, Niall sat in Zayn's lap in the front and Liam driving.

"Fuck," Marcel moans. He sucks a bruise into Louis' shoulder.
"Holy shit," Louis gasps. He arches his back and rubs his arse against the bulge in Marcel's pants.
"Hurry up, Liam. He's getting wet," Edward growls.
"I'm going as fast as I can," Liam yells back.

"Shouting doesn't help, Liam!" Zayn exclaims when Edward starts growling even louder. Harry is growling now, too, tongue laving over Louis' neck repeatedly.
"Fuck, here we go!" Liam says as they pull up to the house.

Edward grabs Louis and carries him out of the car, his brothers following close behind. Liam, Niall and Zayn lock up the car and follow the others into the house. They tell Niall to sit on the couch and wait.

Zayn grabs water and Liam grabs cereal bars, fruit and chocolate and they carry it upstairs to the heat room.

When they get to the room the triplets and Louis are naked on the bed. The alphas snap their head up to growl loudly at the intruders.
"Just some food to keep you going, guys. Calm down."

Edward hushes his brothers and waits till the other alphas are gone to ravish his omega. When Zayn and Liam leave they close the door.

Marcel is immediately on him, Louis throwing his head back and lifting his hips as Marcel pushes into him. Harry sits at the pillows, pushing Louis' hair back.

"Hey, it's okay, baby," Harry soothes. Louis is crying, Marcel pulling my out.
"What's wrong, Lou?"
"I'm scared!" Louis wails. Edward pulls Louis to sit up.
"Love, no, it's okay. We've got you. Let's wait it out then," Edward decides. Louis curls in on himself, nodding his head.

The alphas all soothes him with gentle words and touches until he's not crying anymore.

"Let's get some food down you, Lou. We can try to sleep for a little while. When you wake up we can see how you are," Harry says gently, snapping a cereal bar into smaller chunks. Louis willingly opens his mouth, chewing the food quietly.

"Sorry," Louis whispers. Marcel cocks an eyebrow.
"Why, baby?" Edward asks.
"I've gone through your rut and- we have done this all before. I just feel so out of control. I'm so scared."

Harry kisses his cheek, Louis sighing and relaxing against him.
"Let's just think about something different, go on your phone to distract yourself," Edward tells him.
"Will cuddles make it better?" Marcel asks.
"Cuddles with the fan on will make it better," Louis agrees, fanning himself. Harry chuckles and goes to put the fan on.

Then they all curl together on the bed, Louis kicking the blankets away from him.
"Why do you guys have to be so warm?" Louis complains.
"Sorry," Edward chuckles.
"It's okay," Louis sighs. "I suppose you can't help it."

Harry, Edward and Marcel smile at each other, so fond of Louis.
"Close your eyes, princess. I want you to imagine us, all four of us. Wherever you like most. Could be our bedroom, the living room, anywhere. Where is it?"
"Our lunch table," Louis says quietly. "That's where we met."

The sound of Edward's deep, slow voice is steadily lulling him to sleep.
"That's nice, love. Now imagine what we're doing. We could be cuddling, sat apart, eating, kissing. Whatever you enjoy most."

Louis nods, head staying down until Marcel tips it back so he doesn't hurt his neck. Harry's fingers comb through Louis' hair. Edward keeps talking, creating a peaceful and happy picture in Louis' mind until the small omega falls asleep.

Edward kisses his brothers and they kiss each other before cuddling down with Louis.

When Louis wakes up he is panting, sweat dripping down his face. Edward helps him drink some water before he pulls him into his lap. Louis paws at his chest and whines until Edward pushes into him.

"There we go. Good boy."
"It's really hit him hard now," Harry mumbles. Louis tips his head towards Harry, moaning into the kiss. Marcel pulls him into a kiss once he's pulled away from Harry.
"Knot me!" Louis demands, hips rising and dropping quickly. He pants as Edward fucks up into him.

"I will, baby, I will. Such a beautiful omega. So good."
"Please," Louis begs.
"Fuck," Edward groans as his knot begins to grow. Louis bites Edward's shoulder as the knot pushes inside him and locks them together. He comes onto Edward's chest as Edward's come pumps inside him.

Louis collapses and sniffles quietly as he leans into Edward's chest. Harry rubs his back and Marcel shushes him quietly.
"Hey, amazing. My amazing boy. You did such a good job," Edward whispers gently. Louis shivers.
"Good boy," Marcel praises, kissing Louis gently. Louis looks to Harry, smiling when Harry kisses him too. Edward grumbles and kisses Louis slowly.
"So proud of you," Harry murmurs. Louis smiles sleepily.

"Tired, baby?" Marcel grins.
"Yeah," Louis whispers.
"Sit up a sec, Lou," Edward says. Louis whines, shaking his head. "Sorry, love. You're not falling not asleep until you have drank a bottle of water and eaten some food."

He sits up straight, keeping his knees bent so Louis rests back against his thighs. Louis scrubs at his eyes and opens his mouth. Marcel chuckles and pushes a piece of chocolate past his lips.

"Ring Zayn, ask for some cereal."

Louis pulls the blanket over his shoulders to cover himself when Zayn comes in. Edward huffs, yawning into Louis' neck. He kisses his mark on his omega's neck gently.
"If I have to stay awake you do, too," Louis protests, tugging on his hair.
"I'm awake. Just tired. We'll have to rest up as much as possible. Your first heat will be most intense. So while you could go with a knot from each of us in the future, this time we all might have to knot you a couple times."
"That doesn't sound too bad," Louis smiles mischievously.
"Cheeky," Marcel chuckles.

Zayn peeks his head in a few minutes later, smiling at his four friends who have calmed down since he last saw them.
"Everything okay?" He asks as he walks over.
"Yeah. Had a bit of a scare before, didn't we love?" Harry says sadly.
"Oh?" Zayn asks.
"My first heat with people. I'm not used to this," Louis mumbles.
"Well you've got these three to look after you. You'll be fine," Zayn smiles and says bye before he leaves.

"He's right, babe, you've got us," Marcel smiles.
"Okay, eat up," Harry says and holds a spoonful of cereal out to Louis. Louis rolls his eyes a bit, but parts his lips.

They all share the cereal, Louis and Edward snuggling even further into each other when the bowl is nearly finished.
"Can I sleep now?" Louis asks.
"Yes, baby. I love you," Edward chuckles.
"I love you," Marcel repeats.
"I love you," Harry says, drinking the milk from the bowl. Marcel pulls him into a cuddle and they roll until they they bump into Edward and Louis.

"I love you three," Louis smiles, eyes closed as he starts to drift asleep.

When Louis wakes up he whines, dropping back onto the bed. Harry startles awake and rubs his eyes with a groan. He's hard already, their bodies reacting in their sleep. Louis arches his back, hand snaking down to push three fingers into him. But he can't get enough, trying to stuff more into himself.

"Baby, no," Harry soothes, coming to rest above him. He pulls Louis' hands away, shushing him. "I know, princess, I know."

He pushes in in one smooth thrust, hands cupping the back of his knees and doubling him in half. Louis makes his approval clear, a loud moan falling past his lips. Harry burrows his face into Louis' neck, teeth clamping down over his shoulder. His teeth don't break the skin, but they hurt. Louis wails and goes still, letting Harry control him.

Edward and Marcel are kissing Louis over Harry, touching themselves as they watch their omega get thoroughly fucked.

Louis is scratching down Harry's back, tugging on whoever is kissing him 's hair. Harry sinks his teeth past Louis' skin once his knot pops. Edward pushes Louis' hair back away from his face as he comes, the small boy crying out as he comes onto his stomach.

He whimpers and sniffles as Harry moves them both to the pillows. Harry shushes him and lies back, Louis lying on his chest. The alphas cuddle and sooth Louis who is still far too hot and babbling about alphas and knots.

Once Harry's come starts pumping into him, Louis relaxes and falls back asleep.

Louis wakes up with Harry's knot still inside of him, swivelling his hips.
"Love, no," Harry grunts, too sensitive for that stimulation right now. Louis ignored him and tries to ride up.
"Need to come!" Louis breathes heavily, palms supporting him on Harry's chest.
"Lou!" Harry cries out, fists clenching, back arching and teeth grinding together.

Edward is with Louis, pressed against his back and wrapping an arm around him. He wraps a hand around Louis' dick, hand moving up and down quickly. Marcel sits with Harry, holding his hand and stroking his hair.  Louis continues to grind his hips down, gasping into Edward's mouth as he comes.

Harry wails, wiping at his eyes as Louis gets comfortable again. He pats Louis' head gently and kisses him.
"There we go, love, all better," Harry smiles weakly. Louis' bottom lip wobbles and he squeezes Harry as hard as he can.
"Sorry, Haz. I can't control it," Louis whispers.
"I know, baby, it's okay. My knot should go down soon and then Marcel can fuck you nice and hard. And we'll all eat some food, rest up and see if you need to go again," Harry tells him.

"You feel any better?" Edward asks as he comes to lie down next to them. Marcel lies on the other side of them.
"I don't know, a little bit. I still feel too hot. And the itch is still there," Louis sighs.
"Itch?" Marcel repeats curiously. Louis nods.
"Feels like an itch going up your spine that goes away when I'm being fucked and then eventually goes away."
"When you're with your mates during your heat you should be fine after knotting each of them," Edward says.
"This has been much better than when I was alone," Louis smiles sleepily.
"That's good, baby."

"But this means I'm not pregnant. Hopefully I will be after this," Louis mumbles.
"I think it'd be hard for you not to be," Marcel chuckles.
"Sleep now, sweetheart," Harry says.

Marcel wakes up to Louis on top of him, smiling softly up at him.
"Hello there, baby," Marcel grins, pulling Louis down to kiss him. Louis huffs, pushing back but failing to fill himself with Marcel's dick. "Okay, I've got you."

He guides Louis back onto his dick, moaning loudly as Louis pulls nearly all the way off. Edward and Harry comb Marcel's hair back and slip his glasses on, kissing his and Louis' head. Edward climbs off the bed, going to the bathroom to turn the bath on. Harry pins Louis' hair back, away from his face and kisses him slowly.
"So good, baby. Amazing," Marcel whispers. Louis tips his head back, circling his hips quickly. His leg slips and he sobs, unable to move himself up and down.
"Please!" Louis wails. Marcel  rolls them over, fucking into Louis quickly.

Louis' eyes are screwed shut, back arched and dick rubbing against Marcel's stomach. Marcel leans down to bite down gently on Louis' nipple. He lets his tongue run over it and he moves to the side to suck a bruise.

"Knot me!" Louis demands, raising his hips to meet Marcel's thrusts.
"I will, darling, calm down. It's okay."

Louis starts to complain so Marcel kisses him again. He whines and wriggles and moans as Marcel's knot starts to grow, his come landing on his chest when they get tied together.

He wipes his eyes and kisses Marcel's cheek before he falls asleep.
"God he's exhausted," Marcel says sympathetically. He kisses his jaw, admiring him.

"Let's put him in the bath. We'll get some food in him too and see how he is," Edward says. Marcel wraps his arms around Louis, standing up off the bed. Louis stirs, wiping his eyes and burying his face into Marcel's neck.
"Alright, baby. It's okay," Marcel soothes. Louis shivers as they sit down in the bath, clinging to Marcel.

Harry and Edward climb in, too, cuddling into their omega.
"Love you," Louis says hoarsely. He smiles lazily as his alphas repeat the sentiment back to him.
"You did so well, baby. So proud," Harry praises.
"D'you feel any better?" Edward asks.
"Yeah," Louis nods. "But like you said I might need more so we should stay up here for another day."
"Good idea, love."

They all get washed, Marcel sitting with Louis on his lap on the couch as his older brothers change the bed sheets.

"Thank you, for being patient and helping me," Louis says once they're all in bed again. The alphas kiss him slowly, one after the other, shaking their heads.
"It's okay. We're your mates, that's what we should do."

Louis nods, smiling at them before turning the television on to watch a film. They eat the cereal bars and chocolate, Louis wrinkling his nose up at the fruit. But then Edward uses his alpha voice and Louis sighs before eating a tangerine and an apple. He gets an affectionate nuzzle to make up for it though so it's okay.

They wait another day, full of cuddles and kisses. And nothing happens, Louis sighing in relief when Edward says they should go downstairs. Niall hugs Louis tight when he sees him.

Louis grins and squeezes him back.
"You okay?" Niall asks.
"Yeah. Are you?" Louis asks, hand coming to Niall's bump.
"Yeah, we're good," Niall smiles down at his belly.

They run off together, the alphas grumbling about the blonde stealing their omega.

Louis giggles when he hears his alphas and tugs Niall towards the kitchen.

"Want some tea, Ni?" He asks.
"Yes please. We'll make some for everyone," Niall smiles and starts getting the cups out. Their alphas end up coming to see what they're doing, thanking them when the omegas cheerily tell them they're making tea.

They all have mugs with their initial on, Louis drawing an 'ou' after the L and Liam drawing an 'i', so they know who's is whose.
"Thank you, my love," Liam smiles and kisses Niall. Niall grins, waiting patiently for Zayn to kiss him, too.

"C'mon, little one, let's go watch telly," Harry says. The triplets and Louis leave Liam, Zayn and Niall in the kitchen and go to cuddle on the couch.

"How's the baba?" Zayn asks as he pulls Niall into his lap.
"Good. I can't wait until I'm bigger and showing," Niall sighs happily.
"Me too," Liam grins.

"I can't wait until I'm pregnant," Louis sighs sadly as he lounges between the arm of the couch and Marcel. Edward pulls Louis' legs up onto their laps, massaging his feet.
"Me too," the alphas grin.
"There's a big chance you'd have multiples, too," Harry grins.
"God, imagine him all round and waddling with our babies," Marcel sighs dreamily.
"Gorgeous," Edward agrees. Louis flushes, nodding his head.
"I'm so excited."

Everyday Louis is bouncing with anticipation, asking and begging and pleading for the alphas to get him tested.
"Baby, it wouldn't show up now on a test. We have to wait a little longer," they tell him everyday but Louis is adamant that he needs a pregnancy test.

Eventually, knowing it was still too early, they give in and buy him two pregnancy tests. Marcel is reluctant to let him do it, know that nothing will show up and Louis will be absolutely distraught. His older brothers reassure him that they will all be there to comfort him and it'll be okay.

The triplets wait outside of the bathroom for five minutes, getting an armful of crying Louis. Louis is sobbing, tugging at Edward's pants.
"Babe, what're you doing?" Edward asks gently. His hands circle Louis' wrists to stop his actions.
"Getting pregnant!" Louis wails. Marcel comes behind him and wraps his arms around him, picking him up and sitting on the bed with him.

"We told you," Harry sighs sadly as he lies beside them, "you won't get a result this early."
"Calm down," Edward says.
"Is there something wrong with me?" Louis cries. "What if I can't get pregnant?"
"Louis I said calm down!" Edward bellows. Louis whimpers and bares his neck for his alphas. "We will take another test in a week. If it's negative we'll wait another week. If it's positive we'll go see the doctor."
"I'm sorry," Louis whispers. Marcel kisses his neck softly, a reassurance that he's okay and his alphas are with him.

"Now, we can either cuddle you till you can't stand to be near us or have a nice bubble bath and go shopping. You decide."
"Can we cuddle in the bath?" Louis asks, a shy smile on his face.
"Of course. C'mon. You get naked while Ed runs the bath," Harry smiles.
"I found a new recipe for banana bread, Lou. If you want to try that out later," Marcel suggests.
"Yes please," Louis grins.

Louis, though still excited, is distracted by catching up on even more school work. He adjusts quickly now and through the week begins to talk to more people, feeling more comfortable now he has his alphas to care for him.

He makes friends with two girls named Jessica and Hannah, who are in Louis' maths class. Jess is an alpha, Hannah a beta. They sit at the back with him and exchange phone numbers.

Louis tells the triplets about them over lunch, confused when they start growling. He bops Harry on the nose.
"Don't be mean. I have no friends," Louis whines.
"Hey," Niall protests. "What about us?"
"I have no friends that aren't your friends. I want to be able to have friends outside of my relationship," Louis sighs.

They all eat in silence for a couple minutes, Louis avoiding his alphas' gaze.
"Are they nice?" Marcel asks quietly. Louis smiles smugly at Edward and Harry and turns to snuggle into Marcel's chest.
"They are lovely," Louis grins. "Jess is an alpha and Hannah is a beta. I've met Hannah's girlfriend Sasha, too."
"Jess is an alpha?" Edward growls, outraged.
"Yes. But she's not my alpha," Louis smirks. "You three will always come first."
"As we should," Harry agrees. Louis rolls his eyes.
"What I mean is that Jess being an alpha shouldn't be a problem because I've got you three and don't want anybody else," Louis sighs sadly.
"Exactly, why do you need other friends then?" Harry exclaims. Louis closes his eyes for a moment before he stands and walks away.

He smiles shyly at Hannah, Sasha and Jess when he gets to their table.
"Can I sit with you?" He asks. The girls welcome him easily, including him in their conversation immediately.

Jess talks about the boy she likes, called Nathan. She blushes and grins as she talks about how cute he is and how much she wants to go out with him.
"Is he in our school?" Louis asks
"Yeah, he's in my DT food class. And he gets the same bus home as me," Jess says excitedly.
"Are you going to ask him out?" Sasha asks.
"Yeah. He said he has this favourite cake recipe so I might invite him to come make that recipe at mine."
"That sounds nice," Hannah smiles.

"Lou, do you think that's okay?" Jess asks before they go to lesson. "You're an omega. Do you think that's okay?"
"I was terrified when the triplets staffed showing any kind of interest in me. But yeah, I think that's okay. If he seems hesitant then suggest just going out for coffee instead. Public settings are easier for us, like a more even playing field," Louis advises.

They hug and then separate to go to their lessons. Louis is in chemistry, with Edward. Edward doesn't bother him usually in lesson, sitting in the corner a couple rows behind Louis. He does watch him carefully when the teacher pairs him up with other people though.

Louis is painfully aware of Edward staring at him when he walks in. Edward pulls the stool beside him out and pats it. The hard look on his face means if Louis doesn't he'll be in trouble, so he nods and walks to the back.

"Louis, that's not your seat," the teacher comments as he hands them their books.
"It is now," Edward says simply. "I don't want my mate sitting by anybody else."
"Fine. But if either of you are distracted today you'll be moved."

Louis gives Edward a small smile, it disappearing when Edward just looks away from him.
"Louis?" The teacher asks when he noticed the small boy pop his hand up.
"Can I go to the toilet please?" Louis asks, voice wet and thick. The teacher looks concerned as he gives Louis the pass and allows him to go.

Edward sighs and gives up on trying to focus on his work, going to find his omega. The teacher calls out after him, but he ignores him.

Louis is in the toilets, sobbing from beyond the locked door. Edward texts Harry and Marcel and waits for them to arrive before he does anything.

Marcel knocks on the door.
"Baby, what's wrong?" He asks.
"You three! You absolute dicks!" Louis yells. He throws the door open and stares angrily at the alphas.

"You are controlling and won't let me have my own friends because I'm just the little omega who can't do what he wants! And you let me take the test the other day when you knew it wouldn't work. You set me up for disappointment! Fuck you!" Louis screams, loud, heart-wrenching sobs pouring out of him. He gets so worked up that he has to turn away to throw up into the toilet.

"Fucking hell. C'mon, princess. We'll get you home and do whatever you want."
"I don't want you to touch me!" Louis snaps at Edward. Edward sighs and moves away from him.
"What do you want to do then?" Harry asks.
"I want you to leave me alone!" Louis wails. Harry motions for his brothers to follow him out and when they move to leave, Louis gets even more distressed. "No! Don't go!"

Harry rubs his back as he starts to throw up again.
"You can hate us as much as you want, but we need to get you home. Once we're home you can have as much distance as you need," Marcel says.
"Fine," Louis huffs. He holds his arms up and makes a hurt noise when Edward lifts him.
"Hey, what's wrong?" He asks quickly.
"Stomach feels funny," Louis complains. "Head hurts."

The receptionist waves them off when they arrive with a crying Louis to sign out.
"You four look after each other, will you? I don't want to see you leaving early because something is wrong again."

Louis waves goodbye over Edward's shoulder and tucks his face into his neck.
"Oh my poor baby," Edward coos and rubs Louis' back. "What are we going to do with you?"
"Cuddle," Louis whispers.
"We're more than happy to do that, love," Marcel smiles.
"We can have a barbecue tonight if you want one, roast marshmallows and eat burgers with Ni, Li and Z?" Harry suggests.
"That sounds nice," Louis nods.

He's given up on being angry and is now just using his alphas for the comfort they provide. Edward wipes his eyes and nose as Harry drives them all home.
"Want hot chocolate, princess?" Edward asks.
"Yes please, Ed."
"Okay, babe. You want me to get your fluffy onesie?" Harry asks as he kisses him.
"That would be brilliant," Louis smiles tiredly. He kisses Edward's lips gently and reaches out to pull Marcel him in for a quick kiss too.

When they've all changed into their pyjamas they lounge on the couch with their hot chocolates.
"I think our pretty little omega should tell us what was wrong without shouting at us," Marcel sighs.
"You let me take that pregnancy test because you knew I wouldn't get a result. Because you just wanted me to shut up and now you won't let me have friends," Louis explains.

"We didn't just want you to shut up," Harry frowns.
"You were not taking no for an answer," Edward adds.
"The only way we were going to get through to you was to prove our point. We're sorry we upset you," Harry says.
"And I think it's good you have friends but we are still your alphas which means we are protective by nature. I think we should meet your friends," Marcel tells him. He squeezes Louis' hand as the boy links their fingers together.

"Jess is an alpha. She likes a boy in her DT class called Nathan. She was going to ask him out today. Hannah has a girlfriend called Sasha. That know you're my alphas. I know that. I don't even think about someones status until it's brought up," Louis explains. "You have been completely unreasonable about it. You haven't met them or heard about them to judge them."

Edward nods and combs his hair back from where it is falling over his face. He kisses Louis' temple gently.
"Okay, love. How about we sit with your friends one day for lunch?" He suggests.
"Yeah?" Louis smiles. "That would be nice."
"Maybe you could meet more of our friends. Once we met you we stopped really bothering with everyone besides Zayn, Liam and Ni. But I think it would be nice to have more friends and to know each other's," Harry says. Louis nods and pulls him down for a kiss.

"Do I not get one?" Marcel whines. Louis giggles and holds Marcel's jaw as the alpha leans down to kiss him.
"My turn," Edward grunts and pokes Marcel until he moves. Louis whimpers when Edward bites his bottom lip gently.

"I suppose it's good you told us on a Friday. Now we have the weekend to get you feeling better."
"Yeah. But we don't want you to bottle things up. If something is wrong you need to tell us."
"Okay."

As they eat dinner Louis clears his throat to get his alpha's attention.
"You said I could take the tests again after a week. Have you got more for me to do tomorrow?"
"Yeah, we've got lots. But you've got to be patient," Marcel reminds him.
"After a rut and a heat with three alphas I should be pregnant."
"Lou you haven't thought about if properly. What will you do about school? What do you want as a job if you want one? How will we manage?"

"The school told me when I joined that if I were to get pregnant there would be an online course I could take. I want to be a midwife if I get a job. I want your babies."
"Babe, no need to get upset," Harry soothes when Louis starts scrubbing at his eyes to rub away the tears.

"Come here, darling," Edward sighs Louis curls up on Edward's lap, tucking himself under his chin. "I don't doubt that you're ready. And we know that you're going to be brilliant with our babies."
"Let's go to bed."

Louis gets himself comfortable after stripping down to his panties and taking Marcel's shirt. The triplets slowly get ready for bed, mumbling to each other to be calm and gentle and loving.

"We love you."
"I love you three, too."

It's not as awkward in the morning. Louis finds Harry still snoring with him in bed, toddles off to see where the other two are. Marcel is exercising with Edward in the conservatory.

"Morning, doll face," Edward grunts as he continues. Louis rolls his eyes.
"Morning, sweaty. Morning, Marcel."
"Morning, love."
"You fancy making us some tea and breakfast?" Edward asks.
"I'm not your slave!" Louis exclaims. Edward glances at him in time to see him crack and start to laugh. "Yeah, that's fine. I'm just gonna wake Haz up."

Louis nudges Harry awake and kisses him.
"Come make brekkie for your sweaty brothers."
"Okay, babe."

Harry and Louis dance around the kitchen together, the music from the conservatory floating to the kitchen.
"You feeling better today, sweetheart?" Harry asks.
"I feel great. I was thinking we could go to treetop nets. We looked at it a couple weeks ago but never went."
"That sounds lovely," Harry smiles. "We can have lunch afterwards, in a nice restaurant."
"Yay!" Louis grins. Harry kisses him quickly.
"I'll go book it now. And maybe when we get home we can have a little fun?"
"Mm, great. Go ask the other three to come get breakfast."

They have amazing amounts of fun as they bounce around in the trampolines high in the trees. It tires them out and they fall over and laugh and kiss and enjoy. It feels therapeutic after the previous day.

Lunch is calm and they feel like they're in their own private bubble of pink cheeks and wide grins with high hopes.

They get home mid afternoon and Louis pees on two tests, legs shaking with anticipation.
"No, no worrying. We can go on a little trip to the shops with the other three to take your mind off it."

Niall's eyes are sparkling as they look for baby clothes, his alphas close behind as they marvel at how small the garments are. Louis is bouncing on the balls of his feet and can't stop fidgeting.

"Louis. Stop," Edward orders. Louis sighs.
"Sorry."
"I just want you to calm down, princess. Want to come get a hot chocolate from Starbucks?"
"Yes please."

The others join them with getting a drink and sip their drinks and hold hands as they wander around. They pick a couple items up that catch their eyes, some jumpers because it's cold and some gloves for Louis' little hands.

Niall gives Louis a reassuring good luck hug before the tiny omega makes a bee line for the bathroom.

The triplets peer their heads into the bathroom and their jaws drop and eyes go wide. Louis is holding the test up for them to see.

"Shit."
