Exploring the Cosmos Austin Bates

The world is about to change forever. Reagan is a nature-obsessed astrology student struggling to make ends meet when loans and scholarships aren't enough. Desperate for money, he signs up for a medical trial that will pay its participants weekly for their involvement and all he must do is take a mystery pill every day. He meets Cosmos at the introduction seminar, a dashing bartender with a mild manner who catches his attention from the very beginning. However, there's more at stake with the medical trial than a budding romance. The pills Reagan is taking have activated something buried deep inside him - he is an omega, capable of becoming pregnant, and Cosmos is his alpha. Neither man believes the truth until Reagan's pregnancy test comes back positive, exactly as the doctor in charge of the medical trial wanted. A new era is arriving, where men carrying children will become the new norm instead of a rarity. Reagan is the first of many more to come, especially once word starts getting out about what has happened. Amid all the chaos, Reagan must come to terms with his new place in the world: a father. In this 60,000-word gay romance novel, Exploring the Cosmos, two men will find themselves caught in a whirlwind of events that neither of them was prepared for. Will they be able to accept the changes around them -and within themselves?
