Fandom: Twilight
Pairing: Jasper/Seth
Prompt: Comfort
Jasper entered the house he shared with Seth via the door connected to the garage. He dropped his keys in the dish on the table by the door. “Seth! I’m home! I got you a fresh bag of M&Ms!” He called as he entered the kitchen. Setting the two bags of groceries on the table Jasper started pulling items out. “Seth?” He called again when there was no reply.
Maybe Seth had gone out for a run while he had been at the grocery… Jasper cast out his senses, searching for his husband. A frown came to Jasper’s lips when he felt Seth still in the house but his emotions were… well the best word he could describe it with would be empty. Putting the items in his hands down Jasper went in search of Seth.
Jasper found Seth sitting on the edge of the bathtub in the master bath. His eyes were fixed on the device in his hands; though Jasper had a feeling he had stopped seeing it a long time ago. The device was one Jasper had come to know quite well. After Jacob and Embry had gotten pregnant, Carlisle had invented a pregnancy tester for the shifters. It used blood over urine. The device had become a common fixture in their house over the past ten years.
Ten years… no babies, and not from a lack of trying. There had been a couple of false positives, both had nearly broken Seth. Jasper came and kneeled in front of Seth, taking the device away from him. A quick glance at the device told Jasper that the result was the same that it had been many times, negative.
“Seth…”
“Why Jazz…” Seth whispered as tears started to fall from his eyes. If Jasper hadn’t been a vampire he wouldn’t have heard him. “Why can’t it ever say yes and be true?”
Jasper gathered Seth into his arms and carried him to their bed. Seth held onto him tightly has he cried. Jasper stroked Seth hair and tried to sooth him. “Shh my little wolf… shh…”
“I-It’s just n-not f-fair!”
“I know baby, I know.” He and Seth had wanted children ever since Jacob’s second pregnancy and that had been ten years and two more pregnancies since then. They had done everything, tried anything that might work… but nothing. Maybe they weren’t meant to have children.
