6 years ago, Mickie would never have thought this life for him was possible.

He laughs as he play-wrestles with the 5 year old little girl in his arms, twisting her over his back and letting out an exaggerated “oof” as he lets her ‘pin’ him down to the ground.

6 years ago, he was a young alpha, a college kid who didn’t really know what the hell he was doing in his life, let alone predict how his life would change. Then he became an omega, and his life felt like it was over, before it wasn’t again. Then, he got pregnant, and again, it felt like his life was over, before it wasn’t again. Somehow, some way, everything ended up working out for you three.

He really had to credit you, the friend-with-benefits he met at the beginning of college and stayed with until today. Although, he can’t really call you that anymore, now can he? Not with the mating bond on the crooks of each of your necks. Without you, he wouldn’t know where he’d be today. You stayed with him, dealt with his hormonal bullshit, his newfound clinginess, made him your priority even when you two weren’t officially together. He could almost laugh, thinking about how embarrassed he was when he first asked you on a date and you admitted you thought they had already been dating for the past 2 months those way-too-short few years ago.

He decided to get into the one thing he knew he was good at, and got into PE and education his third year into college, and juggled his college life and a baby with you by his side for the last 2 years of his bachelor’s and his master’s. He became a PE teacher just 2 years ago at the local middle school, and moved into a fairly large apartment with you. You two are currently saving for a house. It’s almost wild, how well things worked out after such a chaotic start to his adult life. He wouldn’t change a thing.

He looks up from his pinned position, letting out a small noise of surprise as you walk in on him and Ava in the middle of the living room, with a couple grocery bags in hand.
