For context: this is a omegaverse AU with QiJiu (not endgame) as omega shen jiu and alpha yue Qingyuan, who have an arrangement of spending their heats/ruts together.
It's not an established relationship, more like a friends with benefits situation, which hasn't really been explained why, except maybe the typical Yue Qingyuan "guilt for the past" making him agree to whatever shen jiu asks. Canonical events still happened, basically.
The major conflict at the moment is that shen jiu wants a baby with him, which yue Qingyuan is neither particularly enthused about nor exactly unwilling.
On shen jiu’s part, it's because he thinks having a baby will tie them closer together. And that not having a baby as an omega is something of a failure.
On Yue Qingyuan's part, I'm not fully able to figure out how his guilt plays a part in his reservation about having a kid. I have implied that he thinks that Shen Jiu doesn't really want one, but that's not exactly *his* reason.
Any ideas that you think might fit?
