open to sigmund - noah, sigmund

To say that Noah was nervous to talk to Sigmund was a complete understatement. He was more than just nervous, he was a little terrified. It wasn't that he was afraid that Sigmund was going to turn into the Incredible Hulk on him, it was just that what he had to tell his Alpha was such a huge deal that he wasn't sure how it was going to be taken. Being one of the quieter members of the pack, Noah hadn't ever been in any kind of trouble. He helped out when it was needed, he was smart and did well in school, and now he was going to college for art and design.

It was no secret that he had a girlfriend. Noah had been with Delilah for about four years now, the two having been high school sweethearts. Anyone who knew Noah knew about Delilah. Sigmund had even met her a few times, and though the living situation that Noah had was a bit odd - to Delilah anyway - she had always been sweet about it.

And now there was this. Noah had never shared his secret with Delilah, and he had talked to Sigmund about it once before, promising to talk to him again before he made any sort of choices about it... and well, her carrying his baby? That sort of made him make a choice about it.

And that was why he was pacing back and forth in the kitchen of the pack house, a complete and total nervous wreck as he tried his best to think of how he was going to tell Sigmund that he'd accidently knocked up his girlfriend.

It was difficult to ignore such a quiet panic radiating through the house. Sigmund followed the feeling down the stairs from a shower dressed in sweats and a t-shirt, carrying a towel. When he saw that the epicenter of the emotion was Noah, he was surprised and offered him a concerned look before he ducked into the little laundry room off of the kitchen and dumped his towel into the basket.

When he returned, he started to make some coffee casually, trying to set the mood for this impending conversation as relaxed. He liked to think that he was the sort of alpha his wolves could talk to without being worried--but he realized that sometimes he got upset about problems. He didn't mean to be frightening, but the pressures of running a pack were immense and sometimes he thought some of his wolves just did things to piss him off. Noah, however, was not one of those wolves. "Is everything all right? You might wear a hole in the tile with all that walking."

No, everything was not all right. In fact, everything was as far from all right as it could possibly get abd seeing Sigmund give him a look of concern just made him feel worse rather than comforted.

He held his breath and watched as Sigmund walked past him towards the laundry room, and Noah trailed after him but ended up hovering in the kitchen. When Sigmund came back out and started to make some coffee, Noah sank down to sit on one of the stools in front of the breakfast bar.

"No," he said softly, "Well. I mean, it's not... horrible, but... I don't know," he mumbled, chewing on the inside of his lower lip nervously.

"Not horrible." He listened to the burble of the coffee maker, trying to guess what could be going on. "Not horrible is promising." A little joke, trying his best to make Noah relax. Sighing a little, he turned so that he could lean forward against the counter.

Giving him a couple of seconds to start on his own, Sigmund tipped his head to the side and finally spoke. "Want some coffee?" Because telling Noah to just spill it might not have been the nicest way to go about this, but he wasn't above doing so after giving him another chance to begin.

	Noah shook his head, afraid that coffee would just make him even more jittery and that was definitely something he did not need at all. "Um," he sighed softly through his nose as he drummed his fingertips ontop of the counter. "It's about Delilah. And me. Me and Delilah." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Pouring himself a cup, Sigmund returned to his spot leaned on the counter. He liked Delilah and he figured this was about telling her about werewolfism. A touchy subject, sure, but nothing they couldn't handle together. He relaxed, because he assumed he knew what this was about.

"All right. You and Delilah. You're probably at a point where you should tell her, you know. You trust her; I trust her. It's a good time."

Noah pulled his lower lip in between his teeth and nibbled on the inside of it, a nervous flutter overtaking his stomach. He cleared his throat and swallowed hard as he started to trace designs onto the countertop.

"Um," he said softly, "Yeah. Well. That's uh, I'm glad you trust her," he mumbled honestly. Noah had been with her for four years. "Because yeah, I really do trust her. And love her. And... I want to marry her, one day, you know..."

Marry her. Sigmund thought perhaps that was the news and he could see where that might make Noah nervous. Still, it was fantastic news. "One day? Is that day looking like it's getting close?" His face lit up. The pack could use something worth celebrating, and he couldn't think of much better than a wedding. He would overdo it, probably, but only out of desire to make it special for them.

"Is that it? Is that why you're nervous?" He could only hope it was something so simple.

Noah chewed on the inside of his lower lip some more and he shook his head a little bit. He blinked a few times before he cleared his throat and drew in a deep breath, just trying to get himself to relax a little bit. Yes, what he was about to tell Sigmund was a big deal, but he didn't think Sigmund was going to reach over the counter and throttle him.

"She's pregnant," he finally blurted out, his voice a little quieter than he would have liked it to be, but he'd said it. Finally.

Sigmund's eyelids fluttered, the rest of his body starkly frozen in contrast. It wasn't the end of the world; he was sure of that. But his stomach did do a couple of worried flip-flops as he processed the implications of that statement.

"I see." Was his first careful response. After a couple seconds a slow smile spread over his face. "I take it this wasn't a planned pregnancy."

The smile, in a way, was sort of comforting to Noah for some reason, and he sighed softly before he offered a faint shake of his head. A nervous laugh escaped his lips and he lifted a hand up to allow his fingers to brush against the center of his forehead for a moment before he shook his head again.

"No," he answered. "She's on birth control. I guess it... I don't know why it... Well, it obviously didn't do much controlling."

Watching Noah's movements, Sigmund kept the smile on his face. A baby was good news, even unexpected ones. It never crossed his mind that they were considering not going through with the pregnancy, so he didn't even ask.

If it had been someone else, he may have reacted differently, but he knew Noah never meant to frustrate him, or cause problems for the pack. "Well, then it was meant to be. How far along is she? Do you two have any plans?" Whether it be marriage, moving in, or just plan getting used to the whole werewolf thing.

"Three months," Noah answered, and the more he talked about it, the more relaxed he became. "And I was thinking I would tell her for obvious reasons..." Especially if the baby happened to be a boy, but mostly because like Sigmund had said, it was time that Delilah knew. "And I want to move in with her. Get married eventually, but maybe after college."

He drummed his fingertips against the countertops and smiled a little nervously. The idea of being a father was highly intimidating, but he was planning on being a good one. He hoped he was a good one.

"I'm fucking terrified," he admitted with a quiet laugh, and he shook his head a little.
