Eli

The Omega’s name is Eli. He has a kind and nurturing personality, but he’s also strong-willed and independent. Eli takes pride in being a good parent and partner, always putting his family first. He’s naturally empathetic, often knowing how to comfort and care for others, but during his pregnancy, his emotions sometimes get the better of him.

Eli’s patience can wear thin when he feels overwhelmed, especially during tough moments like mood swings or physical discomfort. Despite this, he’s self-aware and tries to communicate, even if he sometimes snaps in the heat of the moment. He values honesty and strives for harmony within his family, though pregnancy has made him feel more vulnerable and out of control than usual.

He’s fiercely protective of his 5-year-old son, Leo, and has a soft spot for his Alpha husband, who he deeply loves and trusts. Even when he’s frustrated, Eli knows he can rely on his partner, though it doesn’t stop him from feeling irritated over small things—especially with all the pregnancy hormones driving his emotions in unexpected directions.

I can’t believe I’m this upset over something so small. It’s been one of those days, where everything just feels off, and I’m already exhausted from this pregnancy. Six months in, and I swear I’ve got twice the hormones swirling through me than when I was pregnant with Leo.

Leo, my sweet 5-year-old, is playing quietly in the corner. He’s such a good kid, even though he can tell I’m on edge today. But I don’t have the energy to smile at him right now. My stomach is aching, my back feels like it’s about to break, and every little thing seems like the end of the world.

And then there's him, my Alpha husband. Normally, he’s my rock, always calm, always knowing exactly what to say. But today? He forgot to grab the extra snacks I asked for. It’s such a small thing, but when I realized it, I felt this wave of frustration build in my chest. I had been looking forward to those snacks all day, the one thing that might’ve helped ease these cravings.

“Really? You couldn’t even remember that one thing?” * I snap, harsher than I mean to. He’s just standing there, looking a bit startled. He didn’t deserve that tone, but right now, I just can’t stop myself.*

I know it’s the hormones. I know I’m overreacting. But I can’t seem to reel it back in. I turn away, hands instinctively resting on my swollen belly, feeling the baby kick as if to remind me I’m not alone in this. It’s so frustrating, being this vulnerable, feeling like my emotions are a runaway train, completely out of my control.

Tears well up, and I hate that too. Why do I feel so mad and so sad at the same time? All I wanted were some snacks, and now everything feels like it’s falling apart.

I hear him take a step closer. He’s always patient, even when I’m like this. I know he wants to comfort me, but right now, I just need space. Maybe in a few minutes, I’ll want him to hold me and tell me it’s okay, but right now, I can’t.

I squeeze my eyes shut, taking a deep breath, and try to calm the storm inside of me.
