Chapter 198: A doctor who cares

"Andrew, you’re behaving as if you’re the one who just had a bunch of blood taken." Maxwell teased, resting his hand on Andrew’s shaking knee. He couldn’t help it.

He wasn’t sure if this was how other places did it, or if it was because the Doctor knew him, but as soon as they had shown up Maxwell had been shown to a private room to have blood drawn and Andrew had been chased out of the room so that they could perform a few other tests. Maxwell wasn’t ever alone in any sense, since Andrew could hear all the questions they were asking him from the hallway, as well as his answers, but Andrew tried to zone those out.

They did make a comment about bruising that had Andrew flushing, but that was all in regards to maybe inappropriate comments.

It still made Andrew uncomfortable, since he had never gone through an experience like this before. He didn’t think this was normal, but at the same time, he hadn’t been in a hospital in a long, long time. Since his Mom had died. That was an intentional thing on his part too.

"I’m just nervous." Andrew admitted, but Maxwell didn’t need to be told that. He squeezed Andrew’s knee, but it still bounced nervously. When Andrew looked over at him, his suit jacket folded across his lap, his slate grey dress shirt with his sleeves rolled up, and the off white hospital waiting room colour behind him, Andrew could feel his lips tremble.

"Hey. It’s going to be okay. I’m fine." Maxwell told him, and Andrew shook his head.

"I know you are trying to comfort me, but I watched it happen, Maxwell. Something is not right, and I just...I really appreciate your concern, but please let the Doctor see you before you try to comfort me. I’m going to be like this until we see them." Maxwell smiled, his hand squeezing until it was near painful.

"No, you are going to be like this even after we see the Doctor. I’m not a fool, Andrew. You’re a big worrywart when it comes to the people you care about." Andrew froze as Maxwell leaned in. "And you don’t like hospitals, right?" Andrew was still like a statue as Maxwell whispered those words into his ear. "That’s what I’m trying to tell you. It’s okay here. I’m not upset that you’re nervous, I just want you to know I’m not dying, there might be something wrong, but it’ll be a relatively easy fix. The omega nurses who looked at me said everything internally looked okay, alright? Just some...light bruising, but that’s to be expected with your size." Andrew felt his face heat, but he nodded.

He swallowed, and Maxwell sighed, leaning his head against his shoulder.

"Gosh, I can already imagine how loved your Mom must have felt given what little bit you’ve already given me." Andrew’s gaze widened as he stared at the man who was leaning against him, speaking of his Mom as if she was still here and Andrew’s chest swelled. His emotions had him by the throat, and reaching out, he wrapped an arm around Maxwell’s shoulder, holding him close.

They didn’t speak again, just remained touching each other as they waited for the Doctor to come check on them. Andrew was sure some of the wait was for the labs and bloodwork to be finished, but the longer the time dragged on, the more he worried something was wrong.

He was doing his best to keep it together when Maxwell’s name was called and he got up, offering his hand to Andrew with a smile on his face even though it was his Doctor’s visit. Andrew knew that it was a little strange, but Maxwell seemed to...get it.

Andrew hadn’t even said anything, but he got it. Turns out there were some things that Andrew was going to have to get treated as well, but this kind of Doctor wasn’t going to be the one who could.

They were led to an office where the Doctor was already inside, surprisingly. Maxwell smiled when he saw the woman inside, while Andrew was, in general, on high alert. The woman was on the older side, her short hair greying on the sides and she wore a set of glasses that had a rather bright coloured string around them to keep them on her body.

She wasn’t wearing a coat, and instead a soft, warm chocolate sweater and a pair of jeans. She looked comfy, and kind, but Andrew was still on edge. When she looked up, she seemed surprised.

"Maxwell, you have a partner? A partner that was close enough that you decided to bring them in? Well, everything makes a bit more sense then." Andrew thought he was going to throw up. He was too damn nervous. Maxwell forced him to sit down, and took a seat next to him on the couch in front of the desk.

"Is there something strange with my labs and bloodwork?" He asked calmly, holding onto Andrew’s hand tightly. His Doctor made a soft noise in her throat, clicking through the charts before she turned the computer around and showed him his results.

"This is where you were before, and this is where you are now." Maxwell’s eyes widened, and as Andrew stared at the numbers, he swallowed. It didn’t take a genius to realise that Maxwell’s charts before were low. Very low. But the most recent ones? Nearly triple the level he had before.

"Is that a bad thing?" Andrew asked, kicking himself that he had very little understanding about omegas before now. He knew, but not on this level. The Doctor smiled, and it reached her eyes.

"Well, not truly, but it is something to look into. If I may, are you an alpha?" She asked and Andrew swallowed. He nodded.

"I’m a true alpha." Her eyes widened and she stared at the numbers, before she smirked.

"Oh, well then these might actually be on the low side. Maxwell, have you been...experiencing any urges that previously you never had? They could be sexual in nature, or anything unlike you." Maxwell blinked several times before he glanced at Andrew.

"Uh, well, you knew my previous stance on children, yes?" His Doctor nodded.

"Yes. You did not want them." She smiled, and Andrew was sure that was not how Maxwell said it. Maxwell nodded.

"Well, I tried to baby trap Andrew. It was around the time of my heat as well, and I was insistent that he came in me." Her eyes went wide before she turned to Andrew. Andrew shook his head.

"I bought fake cum to help with his desire, but he is right about trying to baby-trap me. He did take the pills, but they aren’t exactly...fool proof when it comes to true alphas." She nodded grimly.

"That is rather concerning, but anything else? Have you...nested at all?" Both Andrew and Maxwell froze at her question. Nested? Maxwell?

Andrew hadn’t noticed anything. Maxwell was too meticulous to make a nest, and if he did, it would be very obvious.

When the silence continued, even Andrew turned to Maxwell.

His face was red, and he looked heavily embarrassed.

"I...found myself trying to, but I stopped myself." He muttered, embarrassed by his actions while Andrew was surprised. He’d never heard about this! He would have loved to see it too.

"Perfect. Anything else you can think of?" Maxwell shrugged.

"Well, besides jealousy and trying to make sure that everyone knows that Andrew is mine and belongs to me, nothing too out of the ordinary." His Doctor laughed.

"That is not normal behaviour, Maxwell." Maxwell shrugged.

"My whole family is like that, so it is normal." She shook her head, her smile warm as she made a few notes.

"Well, the level spike is a concern, but if your partner, Andrew, is a true alpha, they are well within those margins. If he was just a normal alpha, I might be more concerned, but this is within the normal range if he is a true alpha." Andrew exhaled slowly. "With that being said, your levels are actually still on the lower end for a sexually active omega." Maxwell seemed a bit surprised to hear that.

"Oh? They’re still low?" Still low? What? Andrew sat and listened as the two of them spoke.

"Yes. Like you had thought, it appears that no matter your partner, your levels are going to always remain on the lower side. I did tell you that I thought it would get better the longer you had a stable partner. How long have you and Andrew been together?" She asked and Maxwell answered.

"We’ve known each other for almost a year now, been together for close to two months." Andrew felt his heart warm as Maxwell rounded up. It was a small thing, but meant something to him. His Doctor nodded.

"Well, that explains how your levels have been fluctuating for the last year." Maxwell shook his head.

"Andrew only recently manifested, so no, it wouldn’t make sense." He insisted and his Doctor stared at Andrew in surprise.

"Recent? How recent? He’s doing remarkably well being surrounded by all the omega scents in this part of the hospital if that is the case." She said and Maxwell grinned proudly.

"He is doing very well, but it helps that I’m nearby. He relaxes when he smells my pheromones." Andrew flushed when the Doctor gave him a warm smile.

"That’s adorable. But, Maxwell, even if he hadn’t manifested...this might be a bit personal, but did you have feelings for him?" Maxwell nodded, not even hesitating.

"Yes. I liked him almost from the first moment I met him." Maxwell said calmly, and Andrew had to turn his face away, squeezing Maxwell’s hand as his face flamed. Goddamnit Maxwell. That was too much!

"Well, your feelings for him might also explain your levels as well. That could influence your hormones and other things in your body, Maxwell. Now that they are reciprocated, things could go even higher. From what I see, unless you want your levels to be lower, things appear to be going in the right direction for you. You might find that those tendencies, like nesting and other ’classic’ omega traits might rear their old head, but that’s completely normal. Because of your lower levels, they were never triggered before. But now, with your more ’elevated’ levels, you might start feeling those urges. What Andrew was doing before is smart. Using fake cum is a great idea, especially if it satisfies the urges." She praised Andrew’s smart thinking, but Andrew was still recovering from Maxwell’s confession.

"Is there any way that I can deal with the urge to mate? Like, have kids? I’ve never had it before now, and we are not ready to have kids." Maxwell asked seriously and she frowned.

"Hmm, there isn’t really a medication that I can prescribe for that, but I could refer you to a therapist that might be able to help you deal with that issue. If you poke at it, you might find out where it comes from, and they might be able to help you handle it, or give you a skillset to manage your urges. The fake cum is a good one, but unfortunately, that is all I can offer from my side." She told him and Maxwell nodded.

"Alright. Perfect." Andrew realised then that Maxwell either wasn’t going to bring up the moment where he had lost consciousness but his body still moved, or he had forgotten.

Knowing Maxwell, he knew what was the truth.

"Um, excuse me?"
