Chapter 151 - Epilogue

[A FEW MONTHS LATER.]

It's already Justin's 7th month of pregnancy. Tristan, who's having his first time experience of taking care of a pregnant omega, is having a really hard time.

"Darling, what is it... hmm?" he said as he rubbed his eyes to wake himself up.

"I want to eat brownies," Justin whispered to his ear and pouted.

"Br... Brownies?" Tristan asked, clarifying if what he heard was right. Justin nodded as a response to his question.

'Where am I gonna get brownies at 3 am in the morning? I don't even know how to make some,' Tristan thought as he pursed his lips.

During his time as a CEO at the company, he onlt had a week where he had a hard time and got eyebags and dark circles under his eyes. Compared to that experience, this was an even harder situation for him.

"I'll try to whip something up for you, hmm?" Tristan smiled at him and patted his hand lightly. "No, I want the one from Lucas' bakeshop..." Justin said as he shook his head.

'Oh, god. Lucas... Lucas... I gotta call him,' the alpha thought as he felt a but relieved knowing that it's someone he knows.

"Sure, I'll call him right now," the alpha smiled. "Yay!" Justin squealed as he hugged the alpha and nuzzled his head on his chest.

"Now, now, I gotta go," Tristan said as he chuckled while removing Justin's arms around him. Tears started forming in Justin's eyes because of what he said. "Where are you going? Are you already tired of me? Are you gonna leave me?" Justin said as his lips trembled while speaking.

"What? No. Darling, I'm just gonna go and get my phone so I could ask Lucas for brownies," Tristan said as cupped Justin'a cheek and smiled at him reassuringly.

"No, don't go..." Justin said as he hugged him even tighter.

'What am I gonna do with you...' Tristan thought as he looked at his omega clinging onto him tightly.

It's already been months since Justin started acting like this, all moody and suddenly craving something in the middle of the night.

Of course, it was really hard on Tristan, given that it's his first time being in a situation like that. Sure, you may think that it is annoying to have to take care of someone who would wake you up at 3 am just to ask you to buy some food, but to Tristan, he thinks it's quite nice to be able to be with Justin in a situation like that.

He finds it nice that he's now there for Justin to lean on. Just imagining how hard it must have been for Justin while he was pregnant with the twins pains him a lot. Now that he's already there for Justin, his patience has gotten longer and he's now even more gentle than he was before.

"Let's do it like this. I'll keep holding your hand as I go and get my phone. How does that sound, hmm?" Tristan said as he smiled at the omega. Justin remained quiet for a while, thinking about whether he should agree or not.

He then came to a conclusion that it's fine if he and Tristan would hold hands.

As Tristan dialed Lucas' number, he was still holding Justin's hand. After a few rings, he finally picked up.

"Hey, uh... Sorry to wake you, man, but can you spare me a bit of your time and make some brownies for Justin? I promise to pay you double... triple... Ah, no. Just name the price and I'll pay for it no matter how much it is. He's craving for it right now," Tristan said with a troubled tone.

Lucas, who just woke up, was still unable to process what Tristan said. "Uh, yeah... Can you repeat that?" he said as he sat up and put his hand inside his shirt to scratch his tummy.

"Justin is craving for your brownies. Just name the price and I'll pay you right away," Tristan said and sighed.

"Oh, no worries. Just pay for the original price and for the delivery fee. I'll deliver it right away after I finish making some," Lucas said and yawned.

"I really apologize for waking you in this hour," Tristan said with an apologetic tone. "Yeah, it's fine. That happens a lot when you're pregnant. Remember, your brother was like that, too," Lucas said as he chuckled softly.

"Yeah, he was. Thank you so much," Tristan said with a smile on his tired and stressed-looking face.

After they said their goodbyes, the phone call finally ended and the couple went back to bed.

'I really wanna get some more sleep...' Tristan thought as he squeezed his eyes and blinked multiple times, trying his best not to feel more drowsy.

Justin felt bad for seeing Tristan in that state. His chest tightened as he stared at the alpha's face.

He has huge eyebags and dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were a bit red, and he looked like he just lost 10 years of his lifespan.

"I'm sorry..." Justin said as he laid next to Tristan. The alpha smiled at him as he put his hand on Justin's huge baby bump and gently caressed it. He said with a smile, "You have nothing to apologize for, darling. A 'thank you' would be better than a 'sorry'."

Justin nodded and kissed his cheek, "Thank you." Tristan nodded and said, "Mm-hmm... That's better."

Tristan slowly fell asleep next to Justin. The omega's calming sweet scent made him fall asleep even faster. Although Tristan had already fallen asleep, Justin did not wake him up because he knew that Tristan is very tired and he barely sleeps these days.

He's tired from work and on top of that, he's also the one who takes care of Justin at home.

Justin already stopped working at the company when he was already 3 months pregnant as per Tristan's request. He hated seeing Justin looking so tired because of work and his pregnancy symptoms seem to have gotten worse as time went by.

Tristan, on the other hand, has no choice but to keep working. Although he coukd have hired someone to take care of Justin, he still wanted to take care of him himself. He rarely comes to the company now to work and mostly works at home for a few months already.

'I used to think being an omega is a bad thing. But seeing how I am so blessed right now, I don't think it's bad at all. I think... No... It's a good thing to be an omega because I get to have you in my life...' Justin thought as he stared at Tristan's face and touched his nape where Tristan marked him as his.

'I've gotten chubbier as months flew by, but nevertheless, you still look at me as if I'm the most beautiful person in existence,' Justin thought as he felt his heart feel warm, remembeeing how Tristan looks at him.

'You always make me feel so loved, safe, and protected. You're my safe haven, my home, and my whole... I don't know what might have become of me if I didn't have you by my side...' he thought.

"I love you, my alpha," Justin whispered and kissed Tristan's forehead.

After several minutes, the doorbell of their home suddenly rang. That was when Justin knew that his brownies have already arrived. He slowly got off from bed to avoid waking Tristan up, but in contrary to what he wanted, the alpha woke up because of his movements.

"I'm sorry, I fell asleep. Let's go get your brownies now, hmm?" Tristan smiled at him and got off of the bed too.

The two of them headed to the door and opened it. As soon as they did, they saw Lucas standing in front of them.

"Delivery for Mr. Justin Lee," he smiled at him.

"Thank you so much!" Justin said as he took the box from Lucas' hand with a wide smile on his face.

Tristan stared at him, unconsciously smiling, and thought, 'Ahh... I live for that smile.'

When Lucas saw the look Tristan had on his face, he thought, 'This guy is madly in love with him.'

They spoke with each other for a while by the doorway and Tristan even invited him in, but Lucas said he'd prefer to just go home and get some more sleep.

Tristan thanked him once again and apologized for bothering him. After that, Lucas went home and Tristan went to Justin who was in the living room, stuffing his face with brownies.

"Fwo you wamt shome? (Do you want some?)" Justin said with brownies inside his mouth.

"No, no... You should have them all," Tristan said as he smiled and sat next to him.

Tristan's heart felt full, seeing as to how Justin seemed so happy just from eating some brownies.

'He's so adorable... I'd buy every browny Lucas sells if it means I get to see him like this,' he thought as he smiled, his eyes turning into a crescent.

'Does he even know how adorable he looks while looking chubby like that?' Tristan thought as he felt his heart clench as if someone was squeezing it tightly.

His heart hurts because he loves Justin so much. As he watched Justin eat the brownies, he couldn't help but remember the times of how they were before.

'Just a few years ago, I've only imagined getting married to him. And now, not only are we married, but we also have kids. In face, he's even pregnant with our third child.'

He smiled even wider with the thoughts he had in his mind.

'I must be... No... I am the luckiest alpha in the world to have you,' be thought as he giggled softly.

"Hmm? What is it? Is something wrong?" Justin asked after he swallowed the brownies he had inside his mouth.

"No, nothing," Tristan shook his head with a smile on his face.

'Until now, I still can't believe that I'm married to the most beautiful omega in the world,' he thought as he wiped the corner of Justin's mouth with his thumb.

'My omega....'
