(A/N)
Just wanted to show you this xD This was the original idea for Kirstie's baby, but I changed it as soon as I did it haha.
But I just found this screenshot of it from forever ago, and wanted to show you how BAD it could have been xD
Also, if you'll look at the top of the screenshot, please note I was writing it when it was nearly midnight xD
Okay, that's all. LOVE YOU AND THANK GOD I DIDN'T GO THROUGH WITH THE ORIGINAL IDEA
(Yay for rough drafts)

Kevin and Todrick were downstairs making breakfast, when Scott got up to try and help.
Mitch had wordlessly followed him, holding his hand.
Scott sat Mitch down on the couch, putting a movie on for him, and then kissed his forehead before he went into the kitchen.
Kevin was humming as he made some tea, Todrick in front of the fridge to grab something. Scott entered the room and walked over to Kevin, giving him a side hug. "Can I help at all? I always feel so bad when you guys do all the chores..."
"Well the Omegas help sometimes. But it's okay. All a Beta wants is to feel helpful." Kevin answered with a grin.
Scott frowned. "Please let me help. Please."
"I wouldn't want you to overwork yourself, Alpha. Especially with the Counsel stuff... You'll no doubt be asked to prove your strength sooner or later." Kevin responded warily.
Scott pouted even more. "Please?"
"Here, you can help me make tea, and whatever you and Munchie want to drink."
Alex and Jake came out of their room at some point, both joining Mitch on the couch to keep him company.
Kirstie and Avi followed soon after, but while Kirstie went to the couch, Avi went into the kitchen to find Kevin.
Avi tapped his shoulder, while Kevin was making French toast.
Kevin glanced back for a moment and smiled. "Oh, good morning! Welcome back. How are you?"
"Fine. Today there are a bunch of doctor appointments, right?"
"I think so, yes."
"Are they early enough to be able to make it to the Counsel by three?"
"Yes, Sir."
"Good. Thank you."
"Of course. Can I get you some coffee or something?"
"That would be perfect actually."
"Well... Scott is in charge of those today." He chuckled a little, turning back to his toast. "You'd have to ask him."
Avi turned and saw Scott stirring another cup of coffee, and then walked over to stand beside him. "Hey."
"Good morning."
"Would you.. Make me one of those?"
Scott smirked, but didn't look at him. "What's the magic word?"
"The magic word is 'I'm your superior and you'll do what I say'." Avi snapped.
Scott wasn't even slightly fazed by this. "Aw, no. That's not it."
Avi sighed, looking down at the counter. "Please."
"Please what?"
"Please make me some coffee?"
Scott smiled widely and pushed the warm beverage towards him. "Here. You can take mine."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, Alpha."

At the doctor's office, everyone in the pack needed to have an examination, and then the results needed to be written down on a specific paper for Avi to hand over to the Counsel.
Alex and Jake had both come back perfectly healthy, as well as Todrick and Kevin.
Kirstie was recovering from her pregnancy extremely well, with the help of all of her pack members.
Avi had only been told that he has to be careful with how much stress he allows his body to handle, because of major problems such as heart disease.
The doctor had immediately noticed Scott's shoulder problems, although he'd been perfectly healthy in all other areas. Including eating habits, and sleeping tendencies.
Mitch was also sent back with a paper that stated he was perfectly healthy.
However, while Scott was waiting for him in a chair of the waiting room, Kevin sat beside him and smiled, looking away, before looking back again. "Are you alright, Sir? You look worried."
"Well Mitch is in there without me."
Kevin nodded a few times, immediately understanding. "Ah, yes. You're worried he'll come back with something awful. I'm sure he's fine, Alpha. You take very good care of him."
Scott's leg was nervously tapping away at his side. "Whatever you say, Kev."
Kevin put his arm over Scott's shoulders to rub his back. "It's very sweet of you to get so worried about him. But I'm sure he's okay. If there had been something wrong, there's a very good chance I would have noticed, or he would've told you."
Scott shook his head, not even Kevin's wise words being enough to calm him down. "How long has he been in there? Please pray to God that he's okay. Pray to all the Gods. How many religions are there? Pray to the bad religions too please."
"Well first of all, there are 19 large religions currently. But about 250 or 300 subdivisions of religion, I think. Not totally sure about that one. And second of all, there is no bad religion, there are only bad people." Kevin retorted with a grin.
"Oooh. That was pretty. You should write a book."
"Actually that was a quote from Morgan Freeman. Todrick said that to me once."
"Oh... You should still write a book."
Kevin chuckled lightly, still running his hand over Scott's back. "If it would help you calm down, I'd do it."
Scott bolted out of his seat when he saw Mitch walk through the door to the waiting room, and he quickly snatched the paper from him to see for himself if Mitch was okay.
Which he was, thank God. Scott let out a loud sigh of relief, and then grabbed Mitch in a hug. "Oh thank the Lord. I was so worried."
Mitch giggled and hugged him back. "I know you were. I could feel it all the way in the back room."
Scott didn't move, just continued to hug him as he calmed himself back down, knowing his baby was okay.
Avi walked over, snagged the paper from him, and then walked away. He handed it to Kevin. "Translate."
Kevin laughed, but looked down and scanned the paper. "He's perfectly healthy. Good immune system, heart is healthy... He's the perfect weight for his height. That's really all there is to it. Except the doctor recommends he tries a new diet, without gluten. He thinks that Mitch's stomach aches might go away if he takes those precautions."
Avi nodded, and glanced back at Scott, still squeezing the life out of Mitch. "Geez, what's his problem? Did he really think Mitchell was just not going to come back?"
Kevin was still reading the paper in his hands. "You know how he is. He freaks himself out when Mitch goes to the bathroom. His biggest fear is having something happen to Mitch, and not being able to protect him."
Avi shook his head slowly, watching Scott move away to pepper kisses all over Mitch's face. "What an idiot... Those two will be the death of me."
Kevin finally looked up. "Why do you say that?"
"Scott just... Kills himself for that Omega. And... That just doesn't make sense to me."
"Why not? He just loves the little guy is all."
"But... Kevin. You know I was raised with all the traditional dynamics of the Alpha/Omega relationship. Omegas serve the Alphas in return for safety, and protection." Avi explained.
"But not all relationships are the same. You and Kirstie work that way, because she was raised with the same beliefs. Mitch and Scott weren't brought up that way."
Avi sighed and glanced back over at Scott.
Scott had lifted Mitch off of his feet and was holding him up against his hip, but Avi set his hands on hips. "Scott Hoying, a doctor has just spoken to you, not ten minutes ago, about taking it easy on your shoulder."
Scott frowned, and walked a little closer to Avi. "It's not like he weighs that much, Alpha. It's more like... Holding a pillow."
Mitch giggled. "I'm not a pillow, I'm a person, you jerk."
"A tiny person." Scott corrected.
"I'm almost taller than The Alpha!"
"But you're adorable. He isn't."
Kevin was looking down at his papers again, and he hummed in agreement. "Absolutely. Avi is more like a ruggedly handsome lumberjack."
Avi's head whipped over to him. "Excuse you, Beta? I've never in my life heard you say something like that."
Everyone in the pack was trying to hold back their laughter, but Kevin just looked terrified, until Todrick walked over.
Todrick, guilt plastered all over his face, dropped a ten dollar bill in Kevin's lap, and then he sulked back over to his seat.
Kevin cleared his throat, tucking his new money away, and elaborated a little on this. "See... He didn't think I would ever man up enough to insult someone... And 'lumberjack' was the first thing I could think of. I'm really sorry."
Scott was still laughing, until Avi shot a glare at him. "Shut up over there, you eyebrow-less--"
"Hey. Easy. Easy." Scott interrupted.
Mitch giggled. "Careful. Don't piss off the lumberjack."
This sent the pack into another round of loud laughter.
Avi pouted and looked around at all of them. "I hate you guys."
Alex stood up and ran over to hug him. "Don't hate me, I didn't do anything."
Kirstie jumped up and did the same.
One by one, they all walked over to add to the group hug, that Avi refused to participate in.
Scott was the last one, seeing as he could basically see over everyone from the outside of the circle. "We love you very much... Lumberjack."
