"I hope you find what you're looking for."

Namjoon can't say he ever truly did. All his life he'd sought out a love that would last forever. He,much like everyone else wanted a happily ever after. But for some reason it was a lot harder to reach than he thought. So eventually he arrived at where he was. A 24 year old omega. Unmated. Independent. Successful. And every sexist Alpha's worst nightmare. Satisfied. But not truly happy.
Don't get him wrong. Kim Namjoon didn't need anyone to complete him. To make him a real omega as some closed minded idiots would put it. It was just the concept of a happy life shared with someone else who would love him endlessly and he would them that he craved. But maybe it wasn't a lover he needed.

"Mister Kim. Kim Namjoon?"
A woman dressed simple light blue scrubs called out to the male presently sat in an empty waiting room of the clinic Namjoon over the past few months had become very much familiar with. The purple haired omega's head snapped towards her direction,eyes glistening with anxiousness. The woman,a beta in her early 50's or so just smiled warmly at the omega as if silently supporting him through this nerve racking affair. In a way Namjoon felt she had gone through this journey with him,always standing by with warm smiles and wise words of advice when he found himself spiraling like he often did. It was comforting. It was reassuring. He'd made the right choices.

"The doctor will see you now."
She said and Namjoon wanted to believe the crinkle of her eyes and grin she tried to hide meant good news. He was out of his seat instantly. Eager to hear the results he desperately hoped to be positive.

"Thank you."
He said as he walked past her,stopping momentarily to take her significantly smaller hands in his before moving towards the office. He paused at the door,taking a deep breath to calm himself.

This door had never really felt so intimidating in all the times he'd been faced with it. But now. Now that there was a slim possibility that when he walked through there he could be coming out a person opening an incredible chapter in his life or heavily disappointed. But Kim Namjoon wasn't someone who'd run with his tail between his legs because of the possibility of not having things go exactly his way. He would never survive the life of an independent omega if he wasn't a strong individual ready to face life head on.

Deep breath and he opened the door,closing it behind him a bit too softly because when he turned the only other occupant was still intently focused on the computer perched on the office table clearly not yet aware of Namjoon's presence. So the omega emphatically cleared his throat to make his presence known. The doctor,a beta only slightly older than Namjoon and a quite handsome fellow the omega had to admit,was quick to get to his feet,a warm and honestly in this moment reassuring smile on his plush lips.

"Ah Namjoon-ah. Sorry to have kept you waiting so long. Please take a seat."

The beta was friendly as ever but Namjoon after weeks under his care knew it didn't affect his professionalism. It had at first been a bit odd when the doctor had just offhandedly told him it was okay to speak informally with him and even call him hyung because being addressed too professional made him feel old.

"It's fine Seokjin hyung. I didn't even have to wait for that long."
He was lying through his teeth but he knew the older was quite busy. When he'd arrived they'd been many other people seeking the betas expertise. He wasn't even sure how long he'd been sat in that waiting room alternating different means of entertainment. He was just glad he had taken a day off work for his visit.

"No need to lie Joon-ah. But I'm positive the news I have for you would make it was worth the wait."

Namjoon could hear the way his breath got caught in his throat. Suddenly feeling very anxious as he watched the young doctor quickly skim through a few files before falling upon what he sought. If his triumphant 'ah ha' was anything to go by. Then he was handing it to Namjoon who received it with shaking hands unable to shake off his jitters. Yet through it he's still able to not so delicately rip open the folder and hold the results he'd so earnestly sought after before himself. Eyes skimming impatiently through the words and pinpointing what he truly needs to see.

A huge grin splits across his face,dimples on full display but his vision still blurs with unshed tears as he is consumed by a feeling he can't describe.

Kim Namjoon,independent 21st century male omega was going to be a father.
