Yoongi prepared a delicious dinner with Jungkook's help. He also ordered cake since there wasn't enough time to bake one. Taehyung called him earlier to tell him he was done with work and was heading home sooner.

Jungkook hugged him for the umpteenth time. "I'm so happy for you, hyungie. Take it easy, alright. I'm just one call away."

Yoongi exhaled with a small smile. He got this. Pregnancy was something they approached carefully. Taehyung always understood and was in his corner. He always tried his best to not think about it. It was because of the alpha he could get past that difficult phase and came to a stage where he could even have light-hearted banters about a pup.

The omega was fidgety while he waited. He cleaned the kitchen counter and rearranged the dishes one more time. He even showered and changed while waiting. His anxiousness and anticipation continued to grow.

With great difficulty, he tamped down the overwhelming emotions and took several deep breaths when he heard the door opening.

"Yoonie baby, alpha is home!" Taehyung announced with a dramatic flair as he always did.

"In here," Yoongi called, fidgeting with his fingers.

Taehyung's footsteps were light as he approached the dining table and hugged him from the back. "Something smells delicious." He nuzzled into neck. "And it's not food."

Yoongi chuckled, all of his nervousness ebbing away slowly but surely. "I cooked your favorite," he said.

"Everything you cook is my favorite." Taehyung kissed his neck with a soft groan. "How did I get so lucky? My baby is multitalented."

Yoongi shushed him, untangling his arms from around him and ushering him to the chair. "Eat first."

"Oh..." Taehyung tilted his head to the side. "You have something important to say," he observed.

Yoongi's hand faltered a bit but he collected himself. His fiancé could read him like an open book after all these years together and he wondered why he was even trying to so hard to hide his nervousness. "Yes," he admitted. "But let's eat first. Food is growing cold."

"Okay," Taehyung gave in easily like he always did.

They were silent except for Taehyung's praises about food. Once they cleaned their plates, Yoongi took a deep breath and faced Taehyung. His fiancé was already waiting, watching him patiently.

Yoongi closed his eyes and took another deep breath. "Let's mate," he announced and opened his eyes.

Taehyung's eyes bugged out and jaw dropped. "Huh?"

Yoongi waited for the news to sink in, tapping his foot anxiously.

"M-Mate?" Taehyung slid to the floor and on his knees. Then he was lunging forward to take Yoongi's both hands in his. "Like 'mate' mate?"

Yoongi fought a smile as he nodded. His alpha didn't disappoint. He expected this reaction from him. "Tonight?"

Taehyung's eyes widened even more. "Tonight?!" He blinked and looked like he was having trouble breathing.

"Easy, alpha," Yoongi chastised. "What? You don't want to?"

"Of course I want to!" Taehyung growled. "Just... Didn't you wanted to wait until..." he drawled.

Yoongi exhaled and took the alpha's hands in his. "I went to see a doctor earlier." He then pulled his hands to put them over his stomach.

Taehyung gasped audibly. He was silent and his hands trembled. Then he slid them under Yoongi's t-shirt, tracing the soft places of his stomach. Tears brimmed his eyes and the alpha wordlessly buried his face into the omega's lap. His shoulders shook with soft tremors and that released Yoongi's tears too.

He bent to hug the alpha, rubbing his back as they shared tears of relief and joy. The alpha lifted his head after a while. "We're pregnant," he whispered. "We're going to be parents."

Yoongi nodded. "Seokjin said the pup is healthy."

Taehyung only sniffled. "I love you. Did you get checked yourself? What did he say about you?"

"I'm perfectly fine." Yoongi smiled, touched by the alpha's sincerity. "I couldn't wait to tell you but I really wanted to see your expression. And I knew you won't eat well if I told you sooner. Do you know how hard it was to hold back?"

Taehyung nodded with another sniffle. "I do."

"I even arranged a cake. Wanna see?"

"Are you kidding me?" Taehyung jumped to his feet. "I'm gonna let the whole world know but before that there's something we must do."

"Oh. What is it?"

Taehyung bent to hoist him in his arms. "Mating." He grinned ear to ear. "I've waited too long. When I cut that cake, it has to be with your mark on my neck."

"Gosh. You're too sappy."

"And proud!" The alpha announced, carrying him to the bedroom.
