Chapter Text
Those two days turned into a week with Emiko were hard on Nanami. Gojo got pulled into a mess of curses in Kyoto, leaving Nanami alone. He spent those days awake, barely sleeping because he was scared that she would stop breathing. The first night was fine until she cried so hard that she was red, which was normal, however that scared Nanami. He felt like he needed to watch over her as she slept.
“I’m back,” Gojo enters the house feeling happy to be back with their little one. “And I got a present for my little princess!”
“I’m in the living room,” Nanami answered back. When Gojo saw Nanami, it seemed like he had heavy dark circles and no sleep. “Whoa, are you ok, Kento? Looks like you didn’t sleep.”
“I’m fine,” Nanami answered as he was on the floor playing with Emi. “What’s with the bunch of bags?”
“I went shopping while on the mission and found these little Kimonos and outfits for her!” Gojo showing off all the gifts for Emi. “Our baby is so cute!”
“This is a bit much, Satoru,” Nanami looked at the adorable outfits.
“Nothing but the best for My little princess Sapphire!” Gojo smiled at Emi as he picked her up but his smile dropped when he noticed a device on her foot. “What’s this on her foot!? Did she break her foot!? Kento!?”
“She’s fine. It’s a baby vital monitor. It helps keep us alert if her breathing or other issues arises,” Nanami stated.
“Did something happen while I was away!?” Gojo looks at Nanami with concerns.
“No, I just wanted to be extra careful and keep track.”
“Bit overboard don’t you think?” Gojo's thoughts were on how overprotective Nanami got over Emi for the past few weeks.
Nanami glared. “No. She was born early, so it's better to be cautious. I don’t understand why you don’t take my concerns seriously, it's for our baby.”
“I do but you seem..” Gojo was trying to find the right words without sounding like a jerk to Nananmi. “Overbearing.”
Nanami doesn’t know if it was the lack of sleep or Gojo’s dis-concern for their daughter or both but this statement made him angry. “I may be overbearing because I gotta make up for it since her dad doesn't seem to take anything serious concerning her health!”
“I do care,” Gojo tried not to get angry by Nanami’s words. “ And She is a healthy baby!”
“Thanks to me!” Nanami was mad.
“Oh my god, Kento! Why do you keep thinking the worst when she is a healthy baby now.” Gojo snapped.
“BECAUSE I SAW HER AT HER WORST!” Nanami yelled, he didn’t mean to yell but it just came out as Gojo didn’t understand him. The inner omega in him was raging because this alpha failed in his eyes, alpha are supposed to take care of their pup in every way. “WHEN YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE FOR US BUT AS ALPHA, YOU FAILED US!”
Nanami didn’t realize he was tearing up, trembling, and breathing heavily at the same time as he spoke. Most of all he didn’t realize how much he hated Gojo for failing him. The omega scent in the room was distress and anger.
Gojo was speechless as he watched Nanami’s emotions go from calm to frustration. He didn’t understand where this was coming from when he just got home after a week long mission and curse fighting. He just wanted to be home with his family …well with Emi.
“Kento…” Gojo didn’t know how to engage because he wasn’t sure if it was the best idea to argue again with Emi in his arms nor she can have two of her parents both having screaming matches. “Emi is here, you don’t want to do anything crazy,” Gojo’s scent was giving off a warning to Omega to submit.
Nanami wanted to scream at him for using Emi to calm him and trying to make him submit at the same time. Gojo was making him feel like he was the crazy one.
They just stare in silence.
Until Emi did her hungry cry which got both of them to look at her. Nanami was the first to speak. “There is extra milk in the fridge, also formula in the kitchen cabinet.” Nanami started to walk toward the door, grabbing the keys. Knowing Gojo was capable of taking care of her.
“Kento, where are -”
“I’m getting diapers, will be back later,” Nanami said as he rushed out the door. He needed to breathe away from Gojo. He needed to speak with Shoko or anyone that can help him understand this feeling inside that has been brewing for a while.
Nanami thoughts were saying one thing over and over…
I hate Satoru
