A/N: Written for goldarrow's Valentine's Day Gift Box 2022 on primeval_denial. The prompts I used were 1) What exactly happened yesterday? and 2) Time flies when you're having fun.
The pups (and pup!verse as a whole) belong to fififolle. Blade and Ditzy belong to fredbassett. Thanks everyone for lending them out!
Also, many thanks to fredbassett for dutiful beta services :-)
Also, pup!verse is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. So I thought it would be fun to send their world into upheaval again ;-)

Becker went through the motions of what was just another crazy morning routine, preparing the kids' breakfast – they were teenagers now and still he was stuck making them breakfast because if he didn't they'd only shovel candy-coloured cereals in their mouths and perish a slow death by sugar by the time they turned 20, for fuck's sake – and then ushered them out the door to go to school.

Luckily, this morning brought minimal quarrels and near obedience because they had a maths test coming up in first period. Thank god for small mercies.

Sadly, Becker couldn't fully appreciate the smooth workings of this morning because he was feeling a bit off. The beginnings of a headache were making themselves known and he was uncomfortably warm. He hoped it was just a result of yesterday when they'd had a difficult incursion of stubborn donkeys in a Tube station. It always surprised him how windy it could get down there and only god knew what bloody germs wafted through the air in the depths of London Underground. There had also been a lot of shouting, so it was no wonder that Becker had to clear his throat more often than usual.

Finally, the children were out of the house and he got himself ready for work. He would have loved to snuggle up in bed with Ryan again, but his alpha had already left for an early morning meeting. Becker figured he hardly ever got sick, so the way he was feeling right now was probably a fluke and took his chances going into work. 

The first few hours were quite uneventful and, apart from Becker's now pounding headache, hardly worth mentioning. He'd tried both coffee and tea, but the smell of either was just making his stomach lurch. He was rubbing his temples in desperate hope of relief when the ADD started blaring and Becker's skull almost exploded in answer.

Bloody hell. He needed to tell Connor to set the blasted thing to a lower volume. No need to wake up the dead.

Becker huffed and then got up and jogged to the atrium to see what the matter was.

Connor was already busily tapping away on the keyboard. “Anomaly in an Exit Game facility. Police has already called. They have something bird-like locked in one of the rooms. One guy got bitten and he's not feeling too well, so potentially venomous.”

“Excellent, just what I needed today,” Becker muttered.

“Hey, at least it's already contained. That has to count for something,” Connor grinned at him.

Becker stared. Connor's smile faded.

“...Or not, I guess.” Connor shrugged uncertainly.

“All right, let's go,” Becker's team had gathered behind them and he motioned to get them going. He turned around and promptly lost his equilibrium. He stumbled but caught himself before he could crash down on the floor.

Blade's eyes narrowed. “You okay, boss? You've been smelling a bit off all day.” Green eyes bore into Becker.

“Yes,” Becker barked. Just what he needed, an alpha babying the weak omega in front of his entire team. Great. “Why are you not already on your way to the vehicles? Get a move on.”

Blade lifted an eyebrow but then followed the other soldiers who had already taken off at the first sign of Becker's infamous scowl.

The drive seemed to take forever and during it, Becker got inexplicably hot. At the same time, it took all he had in him to stop his body from shivering too obviously. He felt Finn and Connor glancing at him from the corner of their eyes again and again, both betas concerned at Becker's obvious discomfort.

By the time they arrived at the parking lot at the anomaly site, Becker was dizzy and had to wipe the sweat from his brow. He was not feeling well at all.

He opened the door to exit the vehicle and promptly felt his knees buckle. He leaned back while the others grabbed the equipment from the trunks. He watched them for a second and made a decision. He was in no condition to lead his squad today. He would only jeopardize their safety. He could hardly hold himself up as it was and his thoughts were drifting through his head like molasses.

“Blade, take over from me. I am staying back, I am coming down with the flu and don't want to get in the way.”

The soldier shot him a suspicious look and nodded, “You got it, boss. You just wait here and we'll have everything in order in no time and can take you back.”

“Thanks.” Becker nodded in return and ran a hand over his forehead again. “Now go, and be careful.”

Odd, not what he usually said but the words just tumbled out of his mouth. He got a couple of surprised „Take cares“ back.

Becker climbed back into the vehicle and settled in for a wait, but he was restless and shifted in his seat again and again. After a while, his stomach started cramping and, if possible, he got even hotter. He hadn't felt sick like that in years. He wished Ryan was there.

He drew in a long breath, but the onslaught of smells made him gag. What. The. Fuck.

Becker wished he were home, safely tucked in their bed and his alpha's comforting scent around him. Ryan would take care of him and maybe they could snuggle a little.

His alpha always knew what Becker needed. He was so kind and caring and strong and his scent... Delicious. Becker loved being completely surrounded by it, when it seeped into his every pore, signalling to everyone that Ryan was his and he was Ryan's. The alpha's scent on him was strongest after they had sex obviously, and thinking of that, Becker imagined Ryan's touch on his overheated skin.

It would feel so good. Ryan would make him feel so good. He'd kiss him, nibble on his jaw and ears, worry his nipples and finally, finally he would have mercy on Becker and open him up with his calloused but oh so clever fingers. And then, Ryan would –

The door was torn open and Becker startled. He turned his head and stared at Ditzy who looked at him with wide eyes in turn. Just a second later, Ditzy gasped, covered his nose and mouth with one of his hands, and threw the door closed with more force than necessary.

“Holy shit, boss,” He heart Ditzy's muffled voice through the window. Nothing quite made sense. Where had Ditzy come from? He'd stayed back at the ARC. And where was Ryan? Why wasn't Ryan there? He needed his alpha. Ryan would take care of him and –

There was insistent knocking on the car window. Ah right, Ditzy. Becker made to open the door again, trying to remember why it was closed again. He was sure it had been open just a moment ago...?

“No!” Ditzy practically shouted. “Keep that door closed and lock yourself in, captain. Blade called me to check on you. Jesus, boss. You're in heat. You can't let anyone smell you. They'll eat you alive! I'll call Ryan. He'll be here in no time. Don't worry. Just lock yourself in, all right? Don't open the door for anyone but Ryan.”

Becker whimpered. Heat? That didn't make any sense. They had three pups still in the house. It was practically unheard of that omegas with so many children went into heat. Evolution had made sure of that, maximizing the chances of the young growing up healthily before adding more to the mix.

Becker whined. He was so hot and belly hurt and... Ditzy was right. He was in heat. He needed Ryan. Right now. Why wasn't he here already?

Becker felt so empty inside and he knew only Ryan could fill that void. The alpha would gather him up and then lay him out and feast on him like on a buffet. And it would feel so good. Becker would feel so much better if only Ryan was here taking care of him.

But his alpha was nowhere in sight. Becker was all alone.

He squeezed his eyes shut as he felt tears prickle and curled up into a ball of misery. His alpha wasn't there and Becker was all alone.

Becker slowly came to. He felt sticky and exhausted. He was lying on his side and his body ached all over.

He felt Ryan's familiar hand sweetly caressing his stomach and now that he thought of it, he felt Ryan's toned body plastered to his back. And oh, was that...?

“Oh god, please stop to wriggle, baby,” Ryan groaned. “Otherwise my knot will never go down.“

Yes, knot. The delicious wide stretch in his omega opening was Ryan's fantastic knot. Becker had never felt better. His alpha was here with him, took care of him and joined together like that, Becker felt loved and safe.

He blinked lazily and noted early morning light filtering through the curtains.

Wait, morning light? He flinched, inadvertently clenching the muscles of his omega opening around Ryan's swollen cock. The alpha moaned in response.

“You're killing me here, Beck,” he moaned and squeezed Becker slightly to make him settle again.

Becker cleared his throat. “What happened?”

“Oh, good, you're with me again,” Ryan seemed relieved. “You, uhm, you went into heat two days ago.”

Becker flinched again, and Ryan softly bit into his shoulder to stifle his answering groan.

“Two days ago?”

“Yes, well, you know how time flies when you're having fun.” He felt Ryan shrug behind him. “Though I guess my performance wasn't quite that impressive if you can't even remember.” He quietly chuckled but a bit of concern showed through.

Becker was stunned. Two days of heat sex and he remembered nothing?

Damn, that just wasn't right. Heat sex was so intense, how could he not remember it? It was disconcerting.

But wait, why would he have gone into heat? There was no reason he should go into heat while Ryan was by his side every day and the pups were still living with them. And when they moved out, his body'd probably decide he was too old to start all over again.

“We don't know what triggered it.” Ryan seemed to read his mind. “We have the rest of the week off but Ditzy would like to check on you as soon as you're feeling up to it.”

“Oh, okay,” Becker said quietly. He hated medical check-ups but he also knew there would be no avoiding this one.

“You feeling okay?” Ryan continued to stroke his stomach in a calming manner.

Becker listened inside his body. Was he feeling okay?

He was more disturbed about the unexpected heat than he liked to admit, and not remembering any of it was worrisome, but he had his loving alpha by his side, his opening stretched on a delicious knot and neither of them had to go anywhere. That was pretty good in his books and made it easy to shove his questions aside.

Yes, Becker was definitely okay.

Actually, Becker decided, he felt great. He wriggled his arse until Ryan got with the program and started rocking against his arse slowly.

This continues in Unexpected news.
