Halloween was not a holiday in Brazil, but people still celebrated it somehow. Some went to fancy parties, others went shopping in fancy shops, some restaurants had a special menu.
Others watched horror movies.
And somehow, Nathaniel managed to convince Jake to watch a horror movie.
— Nath, don't let go of my hand.
— I won't.
— You promised.
Nathaniel looked at Jake, who was shaking.
— Jake, why are you scared?
— This is scary.
— But the movie didn't even start, Jake!
— That's right!
The night would be long.
Long... and funny.
The film chosen was "Let Me In," and Nathaniel wanted to watch it that day. He had organized all his schedule to be able to watch just on halloween. He even scheduled the appointment with Doctor Priscilla for the morning, so it would give him time to go to the market and do some shopping.
And so he was prepared for that night.
The coffee table full of snacks that Nathaniel wanted to eat, the room all dark and the television playing the film.
And his boyfriend trembling with fear next to him.
— N-Nath, I don't think we should see the movie.
— Why not?
— Can scare the babies.
Nathaniel laughed and looked at Jake.
— I think a certain big baby is scared.
Jake was very scared, and yet he did not want to leave. Nathaniel had not forced his alpha to see the film, in fact, because he saw Nathaniel getting so excited to watch a horror movie at night is that Jake decided to try.
And just to see the name of the movie on television, he had already regretted seeing the movie.
— Jake, you can go to the bedroom if you want. You don't have to stay here because of me.
— No! I can. I super can.
Usually Jake was all smile, playful, charismatic... Even had his charming side wasting his beauty. But now he was holding the omega's hand while watching the movie, trying as much as possible to control his trembling.
The movie started and Nathaniel just hoped that at least Jake would be interested in the story. Putting a pillow on his back, Nathaniel settled down on the couch and looked at his big belly and then looked back at tv.
Well, would your children pull him and also like horror movies? Or would they be like their father and be scared? At that moment he felt anxious to find out.
At the beginning of the film, everything was going well. Even Jake was watching the film with interest. But when some background music played creating an atmosphere of suspense, he shook the omega's hand. Nathaniel smiled lightly, holding as tight as he could not laugh.
Of course in the first scare scene Jake let out a loud scream and jumped on the couch that Nathaniel had no choice but to laugh. But he laughed so much that he had to pause the film.
— Stop laughing at me!
— Bwahahaha, oh my god, I can't, hahahahaha!
— Nath!
Nathaniel wiped away the tears as he laughed, then he hugged Jake calming him down.
— Okay, it's alright, everything is fine now, hahahahha.
— Or you comfort me or laugh at me, the two together do not work.
Holding Jake's face with both hands, Nathaniel left a kiss on the lips of his alpha.
— You're adorable, you know that?
Jake narrowed his eyes, suspicious of that compliment. However, he accepted anyway, since he felt slightly ashamed and appreciated.
With that soft game of words, the two went back to watch the movie. And Jake seemed to get used to the scares throughout the film, despite holding firmly his boyfriend's hand and still trembling.
However, Nathaniel managed to distract him by giving some snacks for Jake to eat. So he was not so scared when he got to the most tense scenes.
And there was a moment, just as the film seemed to be at its peak, Nathaniel felt his belly move. The two boys looked at his belly, and Jake held up Nathaniel's shirt where they could both see his stomach moving.
— Oh... they're moving!
— That's right — Nathaniel stroked his belly, which moved even more when the scenes got more intense in the movie — Oh, I think they must be enjoying the movie.
— No... No — Jake denied — Come on, babies. You can't let me be the only one who's scared!
— It would be funny.
— It would be a torture! It would be three laughing at me!
— That's why it would be funny.
Jake pounted and Nathaniel leaned over kissing him tenderly. For the rest of the film the omega snuggled up his alpha in his arms and giving food in his mouth, leaving him calm to enjoy the rest of the film.
Of course, later when the movie ended, Nathaniel put in some romantic comedy movie so that the alpha could calm down, or else he would not sleep properly. Although it did not take much, since he seemed more excited to be stroking his belly.
— Soon they will be born — Jake whispered, raising his eyes to Nathaniel — You're okay, aren't you?
The omega agreed with his head, knowing of Jake's concern.
The beginning of pregnancy was a real headache. His mother had warned that the nauseous was common and even expected, but Nathaniel did not think it was so. Some days he spent the whole day lying in bed for not being able to be sick and tired in that infernal heat!
Although with time the nauseous was passing, but the body of Nathaniel still hurt, spending all month doing tests.
— I'm fine, although they are heavy.
— They will be born chubby — Smile Jake, leaving a kiss on Nathaniel's belly — Are you still feeling dizzy?
— No, I'm better.
Jake cast a glance at Nathaniel that already contained the meaning. Of course, that was an intense fight between the two.
After all... It was hot, and Jake insisted that Nathaniel wear only shorts when he was home. Being with his scars exposed was uncomfortable and so the omega rejected the idea several times.
In the end, Jake won the argument and Nathaniel started to get shirtless when he was at home.
And, indeed, he improved.
— Haa... All right, I'm sorry. You were right.
Jake held Nathaniel's face with both hands, and looked him directly in the eyes.
— I love you, and even if you don't like it, I'll fight with you if it's for your own good.
How could he feel angry about it? It was clear the care and affection that Jake had with him.
— I know. I love you for that.
Leaving a kiss on the lips of his alpha, Nathaniel still used to be free from all the ties that held him during those three years. But the freedom was really pleasant.
