KIERAN POV

The contractions started at two in the morning.

Not the practice ones he'd been having for the last two weeks, the ones Dr. Chen had told him to ignore unless they got regular. These were different. They had a different quality to them, something purposeful underneath the pain, like his body had finally decided it was done waiting and was going to do what it came here to do whether Kieran was ready or not.

He lay in the dark and timed them on his phone and told himself it was fine.

  • The S-Tier's Omega Bodyguard    Labor Begins

    KIERAN POV The contractions started at two in the morning.Not the practice ones he'd been having for the last two weeks, the ones Dr. Chen had told him to ignore unless they got regular. These were different. They had a different quality to them, something purposeful underneath the pain, like his body had finally decided it was done waiting and was going to do what it came here to do whether Kieran was ready or not.He lay in the dark and timed them on his phone and told himself it was fine. He'd been managing pain for nine months. He could manage this.By three he woke Elliot.He didn't say anything dramatic. He just said: "I think it's starting." Elliot was sitting up before he finished the sentence, fully awake in the way he got when something needed to happen, and within fifteen minutes they were in the car and Maya was on the phone being told to meet them there and the city was passing the windows and Kieran was breathing through his nose and trying to count and generally faili

  • The S-Tier's Omega Bodyguard    The Naming

    Maya wasn't coming until six. At five-fifteen the apartment was wrapped in the kind of quiet that only existed before life changed forever. The overnight bags rested beside the front door, packed and repacked so many times that Kieran could no longer remember what was actually inside them. Tiny blankets, newborn clothes, paperwork, snacks, chargers everything should have been there. Should. He stood in the bathroom holding Dr. Chen's checklist for the fourth time, staring at the words without really reading them. His mind usually worked with comforting precision. Today it felt wonderfully, hopelessly unreliable. Had he packed the second folder? The spare swaddles? He couldn't remember. A soft whistle from the kettle drifted in from the kitchen. Giving up with a quiet laugh, Kieran folded the list and slipped it into his pocket. "If I've forgotten something," he murmured to himself, "we'll survive." Today wasn't about being perfectly prepared. Today was about meet

  • The S-Tier's Omega Bodyguard    The Night Before

    He couldn't sleep.This wasn't a surprise. He'd been sleeping badly for weeks, the particular bad sleep that came from being thirty-seven weeks pregnant with two people who had strong opinions about the position he was lying in. Tonight was different though. Tonight the not-sleeping was less physical and more the kind where your brain simply refuses to stop going even when your body is exhausted.He got up at half past midnight. He went to the living room.Elliot was already there.He was sitting on the couch in the dark with his phone face-down on the cushion beside him and his arms on his knees, looking at the window. He turned when Kieran came in and the expression on his face said he'd been awake for a while too."Couldn't sleep?" Kieran said."No." He moved over on the couch. "Come sit."Kieran sat. The apartment was quiet the way it only got very late, the street outside having given up on noise for the night, just the occasional car going past somewhere further away.They sat t

  • The S-Tier's Omega Bodyguard    Sophia and Rachel

    The letters went out on Friday.Not through Hartley. Not through the company's legal team or a PR contact or anyone whose job it was to make difficult things easier to deliver. Elliot wrote them himself on Thursday evening at his desk, two separate letters, and sealed them and had them sent by hand the next morning.He told Kieran on Saturday. Just: I sent letters to Sophia and Rachel. Settlement offers. Handwritten. Thought you should know before they respond.Kieran sat with his tea and read the message and didn't reply immediately. He thought about Sophia in the café three months ago, saying I took it for myself, there's a difference. He thought about Rachel on the phone saying don't call me again after this, just don't do it to anyone else. He thought about Helen who was not ready and might never be and whose number he'd kept anyway.He texted back: Okay. Let me know what they say.✦ ✦ ✦Sophia called him directly.Not Elliot. Him. He picked up and she said: "I read it." Just th

  • The S-Tier's Omega Bodyguard    Weeks

    Dr. Chen did the scan herself that morning.She didn't always at this stage. She had a team, and they were good, and at thirty-seven weeks a routine scan was routine. But she was there herself, moving the probe slowly, going through every measurement with the kind of focus that meant she was actually looking rather than ticking boxes.Both of them.Both measuring right. Both where they were supposed to be.She set the probe down and looked at the screen for a moment without saying anything. Then: "Alright." That was it. One word, in the tone she used when something she'd been quietly worried about had come back okay.Kieran lay on the table and stared at the ceiling.Thirty-seven weeks. He'd done the math on this number so many times in the last nine months that it had become almost abstract. A target. Something to reach. And now he was here and both twins were here and Dr. Chen had just said alright in that tone and he felt something in his chest that he couldn't quite describe. Not

  • The S-Tier's Omega Bodyguard    the first Date

    MAYA Kieran booked the restaurant without being asked. He texted her on a Thursday afternoon a name, an address, and a time, and then: You've been waiting long enough. Book it. She stared at the message. Then she forwarded the details to Dr. Chen with: My brother has apparently sorted us a restaurant. Saturday seven. In case you wanted to know. Dr. Chen replied after a few minutes: I'll be there. Four words. Maya read them and felt something she hadn't felt in a long time, which was the kind of excitement that lived in your stomach rather than your head. The head kind you could talk yourself out of. The stomach kind just sat there, honest, not interested in being argued with. Saturday came. She got ready too slowly. She was aware she was doing it and did it anyway. She put on the green dress she'd bought three months ago without an occasion in mind, looked at herself, thought: okay. That works. She left before she could change her mind. ✦ ✦ ✦ Dr. Chen was standing outsi

    Dr. Chen closed Kieran Hunt’s hospital room door and leaned back against the wall, exhaling slowly.Twenty years in medicine. Fifteen specializing in omega health. She had seen hundreds of rejected bonds, dozens of complicated pregnancies, more trauma than most people could imagine.But this case w

    Kieran's hospital room was too white. Too quiet except for the monitors beeping steadily beside his bed.He'd been staring at the ceiling for twenty minutes when Dr. Chen finally arrived.She looked tired. Worn. Like she'd run across the city to get here."Kieran." She pulled a chair close to his b

    Friday morning, Kieran woke up to pain.Not the dull ache he'd gotten used to. Sharp, stabbing pain low in his abdomen that made him gasp and curl into himself.He lay there for a moment, breathing through it, waiting for it to pass.It didn't.Another wave hit, worse than the first. His vision blu

    Kieran didn't go back to the office.He sat in that coffee shop for another hour, staring at Sophia's lawyer's business card, turning it over and over in his hands.Finally, he pulled out his phone and texted Elliot.*We need to talk. Tonight. Your office. 8 PM.*The response came immediately.*Is e
