You had been up for a few hours enjoying the little alone time you get since you moved in with your boyfriend. You and Chan recently moved in together and while you love spending time with him, sometimes you miss living on your own which is why you find comfort in the silent mornings.
Chan got home pretty late last night from practice which is why he was in bed at 10:30 in the morning. It was a win-win situation, you got your morning alone and Chan got to make up for the sleep he missed out on.
You had spent your morning making breakfast and reading once you finished eating, and now you were sitting on your couch nursing a cup of tea and watching an Indian comedy show. Normally when you and Chan watch TV together, you steer clear of those types of shows since Chan wonโ€™t be able to understand them.ย 
But now with Chan sound asleep in your bedroom, youโ€™re giggling quietly to yourself as you watch the different skits unfold on screen. To your surprise, less than five minutes later, you hear the door of your shared bedroom open and out walks your sleepy boyfriend, hair adorably messy.
โ€œGood morning, babe.โ€ you say from your seat on the couch.
โ€œMorning.โ€ he says tiredly as he makes his way to the couch to join you.
โ€œI didnโ€™t wake you, right?โ€ you ask, concern lacing your voice as you card your fingers through his disheveled hair.ย 
Chan melts into your touch and responds, โ€œNo, I didnโ€™t feel like staying in bed any longer. I also wanted to cuddle with you but you werenโ€™t there any more.โ€ he whines.
โ€œAww, well Iโ€™m here now so we can cuddle. Let me just get situatedโ€ you say.
You put your empty tea mug on the coffee table in front of you and lift the blanket on your lap gesturing for him to join you. Chan wastes no time getting comfy under the blanket and wrapping his arms around your waist.
โ€œDo you want me to change the channel?โ€ you ask, drawing attention to the comedy show playing on the TV.
โ€œNo, itโ€™s fine. Iโ€™m not really paying attention to it anyways.โ€ he says and you feel him drawing small shapes on your body.
โ€œSuit yourself.โ€ you say as you bring your attention back to the show.
A few minutes later, youโ€™re still snuggled into Chanโ€™s arms and you find yourself letting out a soft scandalized gasp at the conversation unfolding on screen.
โ€œWhat happened?โ€ Chan asks, instantly curious as he peers up at your face through his lashes.
โ€œBasically, those two people on stage are husband and wife and theyโ€™re talking about an argument they had. See that guy standing to the side?โ€ you ask, pointing to the screen.
โ€œYeah, what about him?โ€
โ€œHe said something along the lines of โ€˜stop giving her reasons to argue with you and instead give her a reason to eat green mangoesโ€™ to the husband.โ€
โ€œWhat does that mean?โ€ Chan asks, enjoying listening to you explain things to him.
โ€œApparently women crave sour foods when theyโ€™re pregnant so the other guy is basically telling the husband to get his wife pregnant.โ€
Your boyfriend chuckles slightly and he doesnโ€™t think much of the conversation as he continues snuggling into your side. But a few days later, heโ€™s instantly reminded of that moment as he stands in the entryway of your shared living room.
Chan had spent the entire day in the studio working with Sonnyoung and the other Performance Team members to think of choreography for their upcoming comeback, but they had hit a wall. Soonyoung decided to let the guys go sooner than expected because everyone was getting frustrated.
Chan was excited that heโ€™s able to leave earlier so he can spend more time with you. He didnโ€™t tell you he was coming home sooner so he could surprise you but when he comes in, he sees you scrolling on your phone, mid snack.
Normally he would be happy that you were remembering to take breaks to rest and eat, but standing there in the door frame of your living room, he feels like he canโ€™t breathe. There you are sitting peacefully on the couch with a small glass bowl next to you, phone in one hand, fork in the other. Skewered on the fork is none other than a piece of green mango.
As you bring the fork to your mouth, you realize that your boyfriend is silently standing a few feet away from you.
โ€œOh my god, babe! Why are you just standing there? You scared me!โ€ you complain.
Shocked by your sudden outburst, Chanโ€™s broken out of his spiraling thoughts and brought back to the present moment.
โ€œSorry, I was zoning out.โ€ Chan feebly explains as he makes his way to the couch.
โ€œWhyโ€™re you home so early? I thought practice wasnโ€™t supposed to end until later?โ€
โ€œIt was supposed to end later, but we hit a wall and nothing was getting done so Hoshi hyung let us leave early.โ€ย 
โ€œAhh, I see. I still have a little work left to do, so Iโ€™m gonna go finish that. I should be done soon and we can spend time together after.โ€
โ€œOkay, Iโ€™ll be here. Donโ€™t overwork yourself, itโ€™s not good for you.โ€ Chan says with a small smile on his face as you get up and make your way to your desk.
Once you leave, Chan canโ€™t help but wonder why you didnโ€™t say anything about being pregnant. Were you not planning on telling him yet? He did come home earlier than anticipated today. Maybe you were eating the mango because you thought he wouldnโ€™t be here to see you.
Chan spends the next two hours obsessively googling about how to support your partner through pregnancy. After reading a bunch of different articles, Chan decides that he wonโ€™t bring up the pregnancy unless you do. You have the right to tell him whenever you feel comfortable, and he figures that maybe youโ€™re still trying to come to terms with it yourself and he doesnโ€™t want to add more pressure to that.ย 
A few minutes later, you return to the living room ready to spend time with your boyfriend after a long day.
โ€œHey babe.โ€ Chan says when he sees you. โ€œDo you need anything?โ€
โ€œNo, Iโ€™m fine. I just finished work so now we can make dinner together.โ€
โ€œYou want to make dinner? Are you sure thatโ€™s a good idea?โ€ Chan asks, immediately worried that you could be overworking yourself.
โ€œOkay I know Iโ€™m not as good at cooking as Mingyu, but my food isnโ€™t that bad!โ€ you whine, softly hitting Chanโ€™s shoulder.
โ€œBabe, thatโ€™s not what I meant.โ€ Chan whines. โ€œI just thought youโ€™ve been working a lot lately and you should take a break. Iโ€™ll make dinner for us tonight, you should rest.โ€
โ€œOoookay.โ€ you say, feeling suspicious as to what Chanโ€™s doing.
โ€œWhat do you want for dinner? Are you craving anything?โ€ Chan asks.
โ€œHmm, not really. Why donโ€™t you surprise me?โ€
โ€œOkay, one surprise coming right up!โ€ Chan exclaims dramatically as he saunters off into the kitchen, enticing a few giggles from you.
You couldnโ€™t help but feel a little weird that Chan was being a bit too nice, but you decide to overlook it and enjoy your time alone on the couch. A little less than an hour later, your boyfriend returns to the living room announcing that dinner is ready.
Before you can get up to go to the kitchen to grab your plate, Chan places a plate of hot food in front of you.
โ€œYou made my favorite!โ€ you exclaim as you toss your phone to the side to take the plate from Chanโ€™s hands.
โ€œI tried my best, but I donโ€™t know if it tastes as good as when you make it.โ€ he says sheepishly as he rubs the back of his neck.
โ€œWell, it smells great and even if it does taste bad โ€“ which I doubt it does โ€“ Iโ€™ll still eat it since you made it for me.โ€ you say with a reassuring smile on your face.
Taking a bite of the food in front of you, you canโ€™t help it when your eyes widen at the taste.
โ€œWhat? Does it not taste good?โ€ Chan asks.
โ€œBabe, it tastes really good. I love it.โ€ you say with a bright smile as you continue eating.
โ€œIโ€™m glad.โ€ Chan says softly. He couldnโ€™t help but feel proud of himself.
The rest of the meal is filled with the two of you laughing at each otherโ€™s jokes and talking about your respective days. Before you know it, the plates in front of you are empty.
When youโ€™re about to get up to do the dishes and clean the kitchen, Chan stops you.
โ€œWhatโ€™re you doing?โ€ Chan asks you.
โ€œIโ€™m going to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen?โ€ you say, confused as to why he finds this strange.
Normally when one of you cooks, the other person cleans. Since Chan cooked for the both of you today, it seemed obvious to you that you would be on clean up duty today.
โ€œLet me clean, you sit and rest.โ€ Chan says as he tries to take the plate from your hand.
โ€œRest from what, Chan? Iโ€™ve been sitting on this couch for the past 2 hours doing nothing but resting. Whatโ€™s gotten into you today?โ€ you ask as you firmly hold the plate in your hand, refusing to let him take it from you.
โ€œI just thought you could use the extra rest, given your condition and all.โ€ Chan says.
โ€œโ€˜Given my conditionโ€™? Whatโ€™s that supposed to mean? Iโ€™m totally fine.โ€ you say, slightly agitated.
Chan mentally facepalms himself. He told himself that he wouldnโ€™t bring up the pregnancy unless you did and now here he was, bringing up the pregnancy.
โ€œYou know what, never mind.โ€ Chan says, trying to brush it off.
You werenโ€™t gonna let him off that easily.
โ€œWhat do you mean never mind? You just insinuated that thereโ€™s something wrong with me and I need to rest, but now when I ask you about it you wonโ€™t say anything? Whatโ€™s up with that?โ€ you ask him.
โ€œWell, I just didnโ€™t want to pressure you into talking about it if you werenโ€™t ready. I didnโ€™t know if you wanted to share it with me or not.โ€ Chan says.
โ€œPressure me into talking about what? Chan, youโ€™re going to have to explain yourself a little more clearly because Iโ€™m completely lost.โ€ you say, becoming less angry and more confused.
โ€œThe pregnancy!โ€ Chan exclaims. โ€œI know that youโ€™re pregnant but I didnโ€™t want to bring it up in case you didnโ€™t want to talk about it yet. A bunch of articles online said not to bring it up unless you brought up the topic yourself and I didnโ€™t want to pressure you into telling me youโ€™re pregnant.โ€
Thereโ€™s a few beats of silence as you try to process the words that just came out of your boyfriendโ€™s mouth.
โ€œPregnant? Babe, Iโ€™m not pregnant. Who told you Iโ€™m pregnant?โ€
โ€œWait, youโ€™re not pregnant?โ€ Chan asks. Now it was his turn to be confused.
โ€œNo, and if I was pregnant, you would be the first person I would tell. I wouldnโ€™t keep that from you. But whyโ€™d you think Iโ€™m pregnant?โ€
โ€œI donโ€™t wanna tell you, youโ€™re gonna laugh at me.โ€ Chan whines, hiding his face in his hands.
โ€œBabe, I promise I wonโ€™t laugh at you. Can you please, please, please tell me why you thought I was pregnant? If you don't, I'm just gonna assume that you think Iโ€™ve gained weight.โ€
โ€œNo, itโ€™s not that. Itโ€™s just,โ€ Chan pauses and takes a deep breath, โ€œyou were eating a green mango when I got home earlier and I remember you telling me a few days ago that women crave sour foods when theyโ€™re pregnant so I just kinda assumed. Ugh, it sounds so stupid when I say it out loud.โ€
You canโ€™t help the laugh that bubbles out of your chest. You were trying so hard not to laugh at your boyfriend, but you couldnโ€™t help it. You just found it so funny that he would jump to conclusions like that.
โ€œHey, you said you wouldnโ€™t laugh at me.โ€ Chan whines as he lifts his face from his hands.
โ€œIโ€™m sorry, I just canโ€™t help it. Itโ€™s a little funny, you have to admit.โ€ you say as you lean closer to give him a comforting hug.
โ€œOkay, maybe it is a little funny.โ€ Chan says as he lets out a small giggle.
โ€œSee! You canโ€™t blame me!โ€ you say as you burst into another fit of giggles.
Once the two of you have finally calmed down, youโ€™re both reminded of the small mess in front of you and the bigger mess in the kitchen.
โ€œSo, since I know youโ€™re not pregnant, do you wanna clean the kitchen for me?โ€ Chan asks.
โ€œWhat happened to โ€˜Iโ€™ll clean, you should rest on the couchโ€™?โ€ you ask, teasing him.
โ€œFine, I guess since I offered, Iโ€™ll follow through. I am a man of my word.โ€ Chan says, determination heavy in his voice.
โ€œIโ€™m just kidding, of course Iโ€™ll clean up.โ€ you say.
โ€œFine, but at least let me help.โ€ Chan says.
โ€œIf you want to help, Iโ€™m not gonna stop you.โ€ you say as the two of you make your way into the kitchen.
When you get to the entryway of the kitchen, you canโ€™t help but just stand there with your eyes wide.
โ€œLee Jung Chan! Look at the mess you made! I canโ€™t believe you! You dirtied every dish in this house!โ€ you exclaim as you scold him.
Chan silently wishes that he didnโ€™t take up the offer to help you clean. The entire time the two of you spent cleaning the kitchen was filled with you nagging him about the mess he made. But he knows he wouldnโ€™t have it any other way.

i really hate how the fandomโ€™s excuse for jayfeatherโ€™s shitty behavior (and outright medical malpractice in certain cases. looking at the time he refused to help squilf in labour bc he couldnt be bothered and later blamed her for how bad it was) is โ€œwell the clan was ableist to him growing up, so fuck them!โ€ ok how does that excuse him screaming at and berating the cats that didnt do any of that. or the babies.

For some reason I've had A Thought about the vampire AU
#i think it would be interesting if junko had kokichi after tsumugi sired her; because it would make him half-vampire#and even more of an 'abomination' to people's eyes. its bad enough hes the result of kiyotaka; the town's priest; falling into temptation#and having sex with a nun; getting her pregnant. but also being half-vampire? when vampires antagonize the town? thats unacceptable#hes 'unholy' since birth. hes something that should never have been born. and yet here he is.#luckily for him no one besides mukuro; makoto and mikan (whos a witch + in love with junko so she would never say anything) know about it#in fact even himself doesnt know about the true nature of his birthing. he know mukuro and makoto adopted him bc that obvious#but other than that he has no idea who his biological parents are; or that hes not strictly human. sometimes he gets a 'weird thirst'#that water cant fix; and he just. deals with it until its gone. makoto tries his best as to not let him near blood during these periods#bc god knows what could happen if he does. maybe nothing; maybe it will unleash the beast. so lets not test it yeah?#kokichi would feel weird anyway as to why blood seems to quench his 'unexplained' thirst. as i said this is an interesting idea#but i think i didnt applied it before bc it would affect how shuichi treats him after he gets kidnapped and everything during it#he couldnt be as harsh with him due to also being a vampire; even if hes also human. and im not sure how susceptible he would be#to vampire magic; which shuichi (and kaito sometimes) constantly uses with him (mostly hypnosis) as to fuck around with him and his mind.#(also amab vampires can get amab humans pregnant but not other vampires and i want them to have a little baby for the drama ah)#thats it thats the post#au talk

CRAZY ABOUT YOU โ€” gojo satoru
Tumblr media
tw: MDNI, f! reader, she/her pronouns used, pregnancy (reader is expecting), established relationship (youโ€™re married), pregnancy freak!satoru, semi-public sex, p in v, unprotected sex, creampie, pet names (baby, love, sweetheart), very very brief mention of somno & oral f receiving, reader wears a dress, heโ€™s a freak, not proofread, wc: 2.4k
synopsis: your husband fucks you during one of your prenatal visits
Tumblr media
your husband is a freak, you know that. but what you didnโ€™t know was how big of a one he could be, for you. you found out โ€” when you became pregnant with his child.
when satoru found out that youโ€™re carrying his child โ€” because he did before you, saw it with his six eyes โ€” he fucked you differently. with a primal urge unheard of, like a man thatโ€™s impregnated his wife and is now claiming her again, confirming the fact that you belong to him by slamming it deep inside you. after the fifth (?) orgasm he dragged out of you that night, you asked him through a weary chuckle โ€” โ€œhuh, where did this come from?โ€ โ€” and his answer began with a motion of his fingers hugging his balls โ€” โ€œit came from hereโ€ฆโ€, followed by his other hand caressing your belly โ€œโ€ฆand went thereโ€, while slowly leaning in to meet your lips, โ€œand i might just lose my mind because, baby โ€” youโ€™re pregnantโ€
a rather unconventional way to find out youโ€™re pregnant.
if he had any semblance of decency in him before (which is rather questionable) and could keep his hands to himself (to some extent) during certain times and in certain places, it is completely off the table now.
when he wants you, you will know; others around will know it, too. he doesnโ€™t shy away from making it obvious, or more so he doesnโ€™t care if other people notice. whatโ€™s there to be embarrassed about? after all, youโ€™re a couple, you do things. itโ€™s only natural. and that pretty baby bump is the perfect proof of it. in all honesty, it gets him off when others know that heโ€™s about to fuck his beautiful pregnant wife once he takes her home.
he's a freak like that, it canโ€™t be helped. even more so now with the way your skin glows differently, with the way you smell, the way you carry yourself and the way your body is undergoing the natural changes as the pregnancy progresses that he finds so beautiful. it all messes with his head. brings out the real freak in him that can no longer keep his urges at bay, not when knowing that he himself brought this upon you. it makes you so undeniably his, for everyone to see and acknowledge. his chest swells with prideโ€ฆ
โ€ฆbut sometimes pride also gives way to greed, to a freakish desire for more of you.
during the rare times you go about to shower without him, he slips into the bathroom. sits on the toilet seat and starts jerking off to you, watching your swollen belly and breasts, moaning loud and clear for you to come to his aid. sometimes you wake up to him holding your hand wrapped around his cock, rubbing himself into your palm, audible pants seeping from his lips as he slowly lifts the hem of your shirt (his shirt that you wear to sleep) โ€” preparing to splatter his load on your pregnant belly; or alternatively, you open your eyes to his face buried between your legs, devouring you like a starved animalโ€ฆ other times, as you make dinner in the kitchen, tenderizing the meat with the mallet on the counter, he comes from behind and presses his hard-on against your ass, shamelessly asking โ€œwould you mind beating my meat, too, baby?โ€
and when you go about to scold him, call him a jerk, a perv, a freak, insufferable while hitting his chest โ€” playfully, because you secretly like it when he canโ€™t contain himself around you โ€” he blames you for it. tells you that youโ€™ve severed him so abysmally that heโ€™s having a hard time now keeping it soft around you (heโ€™s not lying). that you broke him and should take responsibility for it. chuckles fill the room and mix in between your kisses that later turn into breathy moans and pants mixed in between countless of i love youโ€™s and youโ€™re mine and mine onlyโ€™s.
but sometimes, such as today, he takes things a bit too farโ€ฆ
like,
โ€”you canโ€™t simply fuck your wife during one of the prenatal visits just because the doctor left the examination room for a bit and your dick is rock-hard from seeing your wifeโ€™s belly out in the open.
โ€œyou have to be kidding meโ€, you raise your brows in absolute surprise as you watch your husband unbuckle his pants, โ€œnow? HERE?โ€
โ€œplease?โ€, he looks at you, cheeks flushed and eyes of a pleading puppy.
you knew he was up to something from the glint in his eyes as he kept staring at your exposed belly earlier, completely transfixed, only his eyes following the ultrasound probe as the doctor pressed it over your tummy.
โ€œthe doctorโ€™s going to come any moment, you know right?โ€, you try to confirm he is aware that this can go very wrong.
โ€œyes, but so am i โ€” you donโ€™t want me walking around in cum drenched pants, right?โ€, he purses his lips into a pout, one thatโ€™s obviously fake (but it works on you, even if you refuse to admit it).
โ€œitโ€™s not like youโ€™ve never done it beforeโ€, you mock.
โ€œthat was only one timeโ€, he pouts (this oneโ€™s not a fake), โ€œokay, maybe two or three times, but it happens even to the bestโ€ (it was more than two or three times)
โ€œahaโ€
โ€œoi. whose fault do you think it was? you make a man go crazy. i mean, look at me right now, just look โ€” i am standing here with my dick almost out for you, in the doctorโ€™s officeโ€
โ€œso you realize this is absolutely crazy but still you wonโ€™t pack your dick away?โ€
โ€œno, i will not. iโ€™ll die if i donโ€™t get to fuck you this instant. and i mean it, it hurts so much. and the authorities will suspect you did it, you know. because itโ€™s always the wives anywayโ€ฆ..and they wonโ€™t be wrong about itโ€
โ€œyouโ€™re hopeless, satoruโ€, you sigh, giving him a roll of your eyes.
but still, leaning on your elbows you slowly rise yourself from the examination table and sit at the edge of it, removing the towel covering your thighs. spreading your legs for him, you think that you really made the right choice to wear a dress today โ€” less in the way for your husband and another one of his โ€œif i donโ€™t get to fuck my wife, iโ€™ll dieโ€ episodes.
โ€œi amโ€, he saunters over to you, biting his lower hip at the sight of your thighs and the beautiful belly hanging in between, โ€œbut i canโ€™t help it when youโ€™re so pretty for me like this, i go crazyโ€
and fuck, if it doesnโ€™t make you wet the way he looks at you right now as he stops to stand between your open thighs, invading your space with such ease because thatโ€™s where he belongs to be. all the signs hint at that, too โ€” the ring on your finger, the baby in your belly and the wetness dripping from your cunt, ready to welcome him in.
โ€œyea, you really doโ€, you pull the front of his boxers down, just enough to free his cock, earning a low hiss from him upon your hand making contact with it.
โ€œall because of youโ€, he places his hands under your ass and slightly pulls you to himself. youโ€™re immediately met with where heโ€™s hard, itโ€™s poking and rubbing against your belly.
a moan crawls up his throat and breaks out into a satisfied groan. part of him wants to cum just like this โ€” by rubbing himself against your belly. but god, you smell so good down there that it shifts his desire. now that heโ€™s so close to you โ€” standing right in front of your doors โ€” he can smell it so much better. your scent wafts up from your heat and goes straight to his nostrils, letting his brain register in the most primal of ways that your body is ready for him.
you know heโ€™s noticed the dampness of your panties by the way his smileโ€™s faded into a grin, you can smell yourself in the air around you, too.
โ€œfuck, babyโ€ฆcan cum from this alone, you know? rubbing myself on that pretty belly that i made on youโ€, satoru whispers as he leans forward to take your mouth into his. his lips are loaded with such intensity that they suck the air from your lungs, leave you moaning into his mouth. the grip heโ€™s got on your ass tightening, his fingers digging into your flesh. โ€œbut that wonโ€™t do now, so hold on tightโ€
you comply in silence, wrapping your hands around his neck as he lifts you up just enough to peel your panties down to your thighs, then sits you up again and drags them down your legs and onto the floor.
โ€œjust so you knowโ€”if someone comes before i do, iโ€™ll just keep fucking youโ€, he grins at you as he positions himself back between your legs. his words might sound like a joke, an exaggeration of some sort to make it clear how much he wants you right now, but you know better than anyone that heโ€™s pretty serious about it.
โ€œthen hurry up, you freakโ€
his fingers swipe over your cunt โ€” to confirm that you are indeed as ready as your scent gives away โ€” and collect your arousal before rubbing it all over the length of his throbbing cock, mixing your wetness with his vigorously leaking pre.
โ€œopen them a little bit more for me, babyโ€, he coaxes, hands back on your thighs, tapping softly on your skin as a signal to spread them just a little bit more and give him way. you lean back on your hands and push your legs open as much as you can. the motion causing your belly to bump against his cock, squishing it between the two of you, pressing it against his stomach.
โ€œs-shit, babyโ€, he hisses at the sensation, his body jerks a little and his hips buck forward, against your belly, to deepen the friction, โ€œi can really cum from just rubbing it on youโ€ฆ.fuck, thatโ€™s crazyโ€, he laughs.
but satoru stops himself.
his hand moves away from you to get a hold of his cock and help it against your entrance, pushing the head towards your folds before slowly sinking in the entirety of it, bottoming out in you from the very start. thereโ€™s no time to waste and heโ€™s got no patience left in him, once heโ€™s in โ€” heโ€™s going all the way.
โ€œnghh, s-satoruโ€, you whimper at his needy intrusion, but swallow him so easily that your wetness starts to spurt out as heโ€™s starting to dart in and out, trickling down the crack of your ass and dripping onto the examination table.
โ€œfuck, loveโ€ฆlook at the way you take meโ€, he breathily chuckles, head thrown back as he picks up the rhythm of his thrusts, โ€œand you call me crazy, huhโ€ฆhaha, fuck, f-fuc-kโ€ โ€” if his voice was a tad bit louder just now and could keep a steady note, he wouldโ€™ve sounded maniacal.
โ€œs-shut upโ€ฆ.donโ€™t compare me to yourselfโ€, you protest, trying to deny the fact you want him just as bad but the way your walls clench around him proves the other way around. you become who you surround yourself with. heโ€™s crazy to do this to you here of all places. and youโ€™re just as much crazy to let him have his way with you.
you suck him in so deep that his body, caught off guard, jerks and bucks forward. it makes him forget where he starts and where he ends. he wants to let go but also to never stop, heโ€™s fighting so hard but itโ€™s a battle heโ€™s slowly losing. as his pace is growing faster his thrusts are getting sloppier. โ€œshitโ€, he curses under his breath. his balls are sizzling and he wants to bust so bad but not before he makes you cum.
the tension, the pulsing of his cock and the ridges of his throbbing veins โ€” you can feel them like a heartbeat inside of you, and each time he slams against that sweet spot your clit responds with a beat of its own.
you try to hold your voice back but pants leave through your parted lips as you gasp for air.
โ€œnghh, โ€™toruโ€ฆโ€™m gonna cumโ€, you whimper incoherently as you throw your head back, eyes shut close.
โ€œyea? go on, babyโ€”cum for me. come on, sweetheartโ€”iโ€™ll help you outโ€, he breathes.
his hands grabbing onto the plush of your thighs with a deadly grip, pulling you closer to help fuck himself into you better. the bottom of your belly is flat against his rock-hard abdomen now and he keeps it that way while ramming himself inside you, rubbing his cock around your sensitive walls, without pulling out. over and over until you squirm and come undone. face grimacing in pleasure and hips jerking from the electrifying sensation as you keep chanting โ€œfuck, fuck, fuckโ€ under your breath as quietly as possible so your voice doesnโ€™t make it past the walls of the examination room for others โ€” doctors, nurses and patients โ€” to hear.
you glance your eyes to him, all disheveled and sweaty as his hips live through the last few thrusts left in them before he implodes inside of you. you hear him grumble how heโ€™s about to fill you up while peering at you with a desperate face.
โ€œf-fuckโ€, he growls throatily, charging one last time into you before spurting his load inside you. his body shudders from the release heโ€™s been holding back. and heโ€™s pouring too much, his heat spilling and filling your insides. you can feel it all โ€” heโ€™s making a frothy mess of your cunt.
it takes a few seconds after heโ€™s done pouring his seed that his body reigns back control and he stops shuddering. he then looks at you.
โ€œif i pull out now itโ€™ll all spill out, you know? so maybe we should stayโ€”?โ€
โ€œno.โ€, you dryly interrupt. โ€œdonโ€™t force our luck. put that thing away before someone comes and help me put my panties onโ€
โ€œbut itโ€™ll spill outโ€, he insists.
โ€œiโ€™ll hold it in, donโ€™t worryโ€
โ€œoh? you know just the thought alone is doing inhumane things to me all over again, right?โ€
โ€œsatoru. donโ€™t you dare.โ€

note: thank you @.princessbrunette for creating boxer!rafe !!
หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.
you clutched the pregnancy test, clammy hands shaking as you felt more scared than ever. rafe was still in his match, and you- you were forbidden from coming to his matches. the last time you came his opponent had made a pass at you afterย rafeย brutally beat him.ย 
the guy plummeted to the ground before he could utter another word, andย rafeย decided that enough was enough. so he sat you down, in your little cameo shorts and baby white tee. your thick lashes battered as he tried to come out the truth. the two of you were in the completely vacant locker room.ย 
"listen, kid,ย iย don't think you should come to my matches anymore," he said gently, as you gripped his arm. you had a sweet expression on your face before you heard what he had said - quickly wilting as you frowned at him. before you could open your mouth he had already cupped your face as softly as he could.
his hands were rough and warm on your face, you could smell the brutality on them, yet you felt yourself at ease in his embrace. you could never admit it - butย rafeย had some control over you that you could never explain.ย 
"iย know you're going to say it's your calling," he quipped, leaning in closer. his hot breath fanned your neck, as his mouth nipped at your cheek, "butย babyย iย don't think this place is good for you." you felt yourself unwind and opened your mouth to blubber something.ย 
you finally gasped out, "butย iย wanna see you!"ย 
he groaned, steady hand moving down to your waist. there was an amused expression on his face, but he stayed firm.ย 
"rafe? please."ย 
"no."
that was it. so you got another job, and later on,ย rafeย told you to stay at tanyhill with him. you were overjoyed that you would get to see him more and that he was being so gracious.ย allย the girls in the ring had told you he was a playboy and nothing more than that. and you would never tellย rafeย but it was nice not being a ring girl. sure it was a way to get money fast, but your thighs ached from the amount of times you shined and plucked them.
but it wasn't just that. it was also the dark humid lights that dawned upon you, and trotting while people eyed you like a piece of meat. and now, you felt free, and whileย rafeย would never understand why you chose it - you were a waitress.ย 
the owner,ย delanyย liked you, so she didn't give you a hard time about anything. it was a cafe where time seemed to slow and it was as if nothing could go wrong. you got up early in the morning, givingย rafeย a goodbye kiss while he was in bed as he groaned about you leaving so early. you took life at strides. things were great.ย 
but here it was. a sign that maybe everything was going to go to shit. be fine. your heartbeat quickened and you could barelyย breathย - that was when you knew it was going to be bad. you could barely imagine yourself pregnant.ย 
how old were you? 25? yeah, that was too young and quite frankly didย rafeย even want a baby? sure he mentioned it sometimes, when you went to baby showers and cooed a baby clothes.ย but would he-? it was another mouth to feed and god you didn't know if you could support that. rafe, sure, but if he left you? and it was an actual human being to love.
finally, you found yourself rushing out of the bathroom. you had to tell him now, as your heart was on fire, and your hands were stinging. quickly you gathered your stuff and headed over toย delany.ย 
"iย have to go."ย 
หšโ€เผ‰โ€งโ‚Šหš.
the ring was the same as usual. the same musty smell, and that feeling of everything being possible. you weren't recognised - though you did see a couple of familiar faces in the crowd. but you weren't here to chit-chat.ย 
urgency drummed through your veins as you foundย rafe. 12:35.ย it was almost time for his first match, and you couldn't dump on him like that. no, you really could there was this feeling. this feeling that ran through you like wildfire as you stumbled to him.ย 
he looked good, better than good, but he looked alarmed as you twisted yourself around his body.ย 
"hey, hey kid," he laughed at you furiously hugging his middle, "iย love that you're here butย iย told you about visiting me, didn'tย i? we had this conversation-" he was stopped right there as you kissed him, cupping his face. he was out of breath, pupils dilated when it finally set in.ย 
maybe he saw the wayย youย sweet doe eyes were welling up with tears, or the way you swayed in his arms as if he let you go you could crumble, or the way you were trying to mouth words, but nothing was coming out of your mouth. he furiously swore under his breath, and pulled you along with him - you followed like a puppy.ย 
the dim lights of the corner he had pulled you in soothed your state. no longer did your skin ich, but your head still pounded. rafe looked down at you with a worried expression, as he rubbed your back. you were still holding on to him, wide-eyed.ย 
"hey?" he snapped his fingers, "can't be doing that here. not right now.ย what'sย wrong?" he asked harshly, and you shook your head, completely nonverbal. he raised a hand through his buzzed hair, concern evident in his eyes. whenever you got like this- which was never he had to remind himself to be gentle.ย 
finally, he dropped himself, voice quiet. he didn't care if people saw him like this- all vulnerable. "sweets are you okay?" he probed again.ย finallyย with trembling hands, you reached out into your bag to get the pregnancy test- and broke into tears. the two double lines spread fear throughout his heart.ย 
rafe had changed. that was a fact, he no longer was plagued by hisย fathersย words as much as before. but could he be a father? suddenly he looked down at you, wispy lashes wet, and doe eyes pleading. suddenly, he felt something blossom in his heart. he imagined you running around inย tannyhil, round with his kid. you would be wearing a pretty sun dress, as laughter rang through you.ย 
finally, he closed his eyes, "it'sย gonna be okay."ย 
you seemed to take that as a bad sign, gasping out muffled words, "no,ย rafe,ย iย didn't know what was going to happen, please-"ย yourย hand reached out for his, hoping that things were going to be okay.ย 
rafe was still looking at the test, as he closed and opened his mouth before shaking his hand, "we're gonna get married, all right?ย yeah, andย iย want you to stay here with me. 'causeย iย need you here." he said tapping your head. there was a watery smile on your face, as you jumped into his arms.ย 
he held you tightly, and you sniffed. before letting go of him to look into his eyes. it was at that moment that you realised how much he loved you. when he's staring at you like you are his world, and his steel eyes are soft. when his eyes are welling up with tears.ย 
"just really happy and shit," he chuckled, "i can't believe this," he murmured out before pressing his lips on yours. finally, he pulled apart from you, still gazing into your eyes.ย 
ย "you should go," you found yourself whispering out "it'sย time for your match." yet your hand found a deathly hold on him.
you saw him smile, and give you a peck on the lips, "wantย you to watch,ย 'kay?ย i'mย fighting this match for you," and then his hands travelled down to your stomach,ย "youย and baby."ย 
dazed you watched him step up into the ring and sighed. if this was love, you'd fight for it any day.ย

Blac Chyna got a Scorpio MC and Sun 8th house in her Fama(408) Persona Chart which makes sense since she is the highest paid non musician Only Fans creator. In October 2023 she was the top earning creator of all on Only Fans.
Earth placements๐ŸŒฑ tend to like the touching/sensing/moaning part during sex while Air placements๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ tend to be very visual & communicative. Fire placements๐Ÿ”ฅtend to value the pace and feeling. Water placements๐Ÿ’ง value the emotional undercurrents. So air placements might care more about how the partner looks and be turn on by the appearance while Taurus gets turned on by how you feel & sound. Water placements get turned on based on the emotional undercurrents like for example scorpio placements can get extra turned on if its forbidden.
Venus 2nd house synastry seem to make yall want to kiss & do oral sex a lot more than you usually would with someone else. (Please confirm this if you had this in synastry w someone)
Mars conjunct Chiron in both synastry and composite makes the sex amazing. That soulmerging healing kind of sex.
Mars conjunct Reiki(5239) in the natal chart might make people feel changed/healed after they slept with you.
Eros(433) conjunct Neptune might mean a lot of people fantasize about you, Ive seen it in a lot of the charts when i did my xxx stars post.
Libra Moon and Mars tend to care a lot about how their partner looks. Disharmony can really affect them and therefore make them very easily turned off. Not always ofc, other placements play a huge role too.
Lust(4386) or Eros(433) conjunct Moon seem to make someone constantly in the mood for some โ€funny stuffโ€. It also tends to create the same effect in synastry.
If you watch โ€adult moviesโ€ you will enjoy performers you have 8th house synastry with or the same Eros or Mars sign. They will most likely โ€do itโ€ in a way you like. There is usually a conjuntion from one of their personal planets to your Venus or Mars involved when it comes to your โ€favorite starโ€.
I remember a famous youtuber answering which celebrity he would choose if he could only sleep with ONE celebrity. Ofc I checked his synastry with the celebrity he chose and he had a stellium in her 8th house.
Check the degree of your asteroid Eros. Eros at 2ยฐ can mean a sexy voice, good at oral, liking it slow and sensual, might even get paid for it.
Sorry I know Ive said it before but so many Sag Risings with Pluto in the 1st house look like the stereotypical โ€sexy teacherโ€ look.
Mars degree says more about what you enjoy in the bedroom. Mars in a Cancer degree might find pregnant people hot or enjoy sucking someones titties or having theirs sucked. ๐Ÿผ
Mars 9th house might like to do it in risky places. 9th house and Sagittarius energy can make someone kinda reckless.
Fama(408) the goddess of rumor conjunct Eros(433) can indicate people will spread rumours about your sex life. Known for being sexy. People can be very curious about your sex life if you have this placement.
People with Saturn 8th house might like a more โ€coldโ€ kind of sex with less cuddling and kissing etc just straight forward penetration sex.
Bacchus(2063) conjunct Mars in the natal chart seem to give the person an insatiable sexual appetite.
Moon & Mars in the 8th house in synastry seem to be the hardest to resist. Especially speciellt since they often come with some kind of forbidden situation going on. There seem to always be a reason why yall are not allowed to do it.
Lilith aspecting personal planets or inte the 1st, 8th, 11th or 10th house sometimes have the most innappropriate people vieweing them in a sexual way. Like the person they least expected. Which can be very hurtful for them.
People with Jupiter aspecting Mars tend to be seen as being good in bed no matter if they are or not. Its just the energy they exude.
Someones Lilith aspecting your personal planets can make them see you as wayyy sexier than you actually are. Same with 8th house/Pluto synastry.

โ€œWhore.โ€
You couldโ€™ve sworn the teacup in your hands cracked a little from how hard youโ€™re gripping it. If you were Illumi, it wouldโ€™ve shattered into a fine powder by now. But youโ€™re not, which makes you susceptible to being called such things.
Theyโ€™re at it again. Youโ€™re unsure as to what youโ€™ve done to upset some of the butlers and maids, but god do they not like you. No matter. You hate everyone in this stupid boring ugly manor anyway. Huh. Maybe thatโ€™s why they hate you, too.
It mustโ€™ve been a shock to see Illumi of all people one day bring home his future wife. One he never cared to mention to anyone else beforehand, and one that was still kicking and screaming over his shoulder.
Youโ€™re not really sure how long youโ€™ve been here. Months? A year now? However long itโ€™s been, it didnโ€™t take anytime at all to realise that maybe youโ€™re not as safe here as Illumi swears you to be. His mother most definitely hates you, but, oh well, sheโ€™s never really tried anything, as far as you know.
The help started muttering things when Illumi wasnโ€™t around, things that hurt more than you wanted to admit. When you didnโ€™t go running off to Illumi at the first few instances of it, it got worse, as though they knew you would never tell him about it.
First off, you donโ€™t want to give him the satisfaction of being your saviour when someone says mean things to you. Secondly, you may hate these assholes, but you have a conscience.
Only last week Illumi came into your shared bedroom, absolutely drenched in blood, asking if you could shower together. You quickly found out that whoever he had been torturing wasnโ€™t dead yet, and he still had more to do.
Thinking about what Illumi does to people he doesnโ€™t care about, those heโ€™s only hurting for a job, makes you shiver at the thought of him actually harming someone who did him, or you, wrong. But, despite your mercy on them, this time youโ€™re considering just telling him. Only a little.
Youโ€™ve had a notably stressful day, being pranced around by his mother whoโ€™s insistent on โ€˜trainingโ€™ you to be the perfect wife for her son. Her explaining to you that the family expects at least six children from you both had you rushing to the bathroom to vomit.
Then you ran into his father, on your way back to your room. He doesnโ€™t seem to actively dislike you, but he scares the absolute shit out of you. The man seems to think youโ€™re some house pet rather than an actual person with thoughts and feelings, but you suppose thatโ€™s only a modicum better than wanting you dead.
You also bumped into Illumiโ€™s grandfather. Youโ€™re not sure if you can bring yourself to hate him, but you do hate the look of pity in his eyes whenever he sees you. Sometimes heโ€™ll save you from a lecture Illumiโ€™s mother is giving you, so heโ€™s nice in that regard. Heโ€™d never free you, though, so heโ€™s just another kidnapper you canโ€™t become friendly with.
You eventually got back to your room, expecting a nice nap before being forced to attend family dinner, only to find Illumi had gotten back earlier than expected. You cringed at how hungry he was, and not for food, but just allowed him to do as he wished. You were too tired to argue. After he was done, he seemed to take note of how quiet and exhausted you were. Too bad, dinner time. You hated dinner times more than anything else.
You ate the admittedly lovely food in pure silence, but quickly became sick to your stomach at hearing Illumi and his mother discuss the prospects of you becoming pregnant. You didnโ€™t eat anymore after that. Youโ€™re pretty sure his brother, Milluki, made some comment about you that Illumi didnโ€™t like, which explains why his wrist got snapped in half a few seconds later.
Illumi tried spoon feeding you when noticing how full your plate was, but you managed to convince him that you werenโ€™t hungry. That got you another lecture from his mother about how youโ€™ll soon be eating for two. You were tempted to tell her that if you ever got pregnant youโ€™d throw yourself into Mikeโ€™s jaws, but managed to refrain.
After that, you finally got to go to bed. It wasnโ€™t something you were looking forward to anymore; you struggled to sleep when Illumi was home because heโ€™d spend the majority of the night just staring at you.
โ€œCan I go outside?โ€
You donโ€™t remember why you blurted it or where the thought came from, but you remember the confused blink Illumi gave in response.
โ€œUm.. just for.. ten minutes? O-Or five..? I just want to sit in the garden by myself for a bitโ€ฆ If not, itโ€™s alright..โ€
You hated how pathetic you sounded, unsure as to what Illumi was thinking when he stared at you with that expressionless face.
โ€œAlright.โ€
โ€œWhat?โ€
โ€œWould you like me to ask a maid to bring you out a cup of tea?โ€
You didnโ€™t really think about his words too much, just happy you got something your way for once, and nodded rather enthusiastically. You shouldโ€™ve said no.
The first few minutes of being in the garden, sat on the bench and allowing the cool nights breeze to settle on your skin had you relaxing for the first time in a while.
โ€œYour tea, mistress.โ€
Oh. It was one of the ones you were sure hated you, and behind him was another. Oh, well. You took the tea from his hands, thanking them nonetheless.
It was much more bitter than you liked it, but you didnโ€™t complain. You didnโ€™t really want tea in the first place. They didnโ€™t leave, but you didnโ€™t complain. Illumi probably asked them to watch over you, maybe to make sure you didnโ€™t try to run. Itโ€™s alright, you still have a nice view to relax with.
โ€œWhore.โ€
Your eyes widen a little, and your grip on the cup increases. They continue muttering amongst themselves, but you catch small, demeaning phrases that youโ€™re certain are aimed at you.
Why are you a whore? Youโ€™d never even had sex before you met Illumi, and if you had, it wouldnโ€™t be their business. Youโ€™re hardly allowed to interact with anyone other than who Illumi allows you to. Where would you have the chance to sleep around? The insult doesnโ€™t make much sense.
Thatโ€™s what you tell yourself, despite the fact that your shoulders and hands are shaking and you feel something cold and wet running down your cheeks.
Shit.
You put the cup on the floor, hands moving to cover your face and wipe away any evidence of tears. Illumi hated when you cried.
Why are you still crying? What they said doesnโ€™t make any sense. Stop crying, enjoy the view. You donโ€™t have long left before you have to go back inside.
Youโ€™re still crying. You donโ€™t notice that itโ€™s gone eerily silent aside from your own muffled sobs, too busy working on shutting yourself up.
โ€œ[Name].โ€
Shit. Shit!
Heโ€™s been sat next to you for god knows how long now, and you didnโ€™t even realise. God, this sucks.
โ€œWhy are you crying?โ€ Illumi asks, and you can feel him move closer to you on the bench.
โ€œI-Iโ€™m not,โ€ you say, a hand still covering your eyes. What excuse do you give? If you say hay fever will he never let you out in the garden again? If you say you have a cold, will he keep you inside your bedroom for a few weeks? Months?
He doesnโ€™t say anything, but you can feel him staring at you.
โ€œWould you like to stay outside for a bit longer?โ€
Oh.
โ€œYe-Yeah. Y-Yes please,โ€ you eventually reply, gulping down another sob.
He doesnโ€™t leave, but youโ€™re less bothered by his presence than usual. Despite it beingโ€ฆ him, itโ€™s not horrible to have some company, even though youโ€™d never admit it out loud.
Youโ€™re not sure how long you sit outside before he stands, prompting you to do the same. Neither of you say anything, not until you reach your bedroom and Illumi tells you in a tone softer than youโ€™d usually hear from him that he has something he must do, so youโ€™ll be sleeping alone tonight.
You turn to go to bed, but he grabs your wrist. He doesnโ€™t look at you for a moment, seemingly considering something. Then, he stiffly leans forward, pressing his lips to your forehead rather robotically. Sometimes you wonder if he is a robot, it really would explain a lot.
The kiss ends soon after it begins.
โ€œGet some rest. You look bad.โ€
You huff a little, but canโ€™t bring yourself to actually be offended due to the thinly veiled concern in his tone.
The sleep you get is better than you expected. Maybe not having a mass murderer eyeing you up while you try and rest is a reason for that.
Illumi doesnโ€™t show up for the entirety of the next day, which is a little strange. He likes seeing you off in the morning, giving you a kiss before he departs - youโ€™re certain he copied it from a romance movie you used to enjoy watching from time to time. You donโ€™t question his absence too much, you donโ€™t exactly enjoy his company, after all.
The day you have is better than the last. Illumiโ€™s mother seems to be a bit less of a bitch than usual. Thatโ€™s a win in your book.
It doesnโ€™t take long for you to be back in your warm bed, wrapped up in covers and drifting off to sleep.
You wake up to the feeling of something wet hitting the tip of your nose, and quiet breathing above you.
โ€œAre you awake?โ€
You are now. Itโ€™s pitch black in the room, but you can make out Illumi looming over, his hair framing around you like some makeshift cage.
Still sleepy, you groan a little, โ€œIllumi? Whatโ€ฆ time is it?โ€
Something wet hits the bed.
โ€œ2:57 AM.โ€
Huh. You breathe in through your nose. Illumi absolutely reeks. Metallic, is it? Youโ€™re not sure itโ€™s the best idea to comment on it.
โ€œOh. Okay.โ€
Another drip of something onto the blanket. He doesnโ€™t seem to be in the talking mood.
โ€œHave I done something wrong?โ€
โ€œโ€ฆ Yes.โ€
Another.
You gulp. โ€œAre you mad at me?โ€
โ€œI donโ€™t think so.โ€
Another drip, this time it hits your arm.
โ€œAre you going to hurt me?โ€
You couldโ€™ve sworn you saw his eyes narrow in the darkness.
โ€œNo.โ€
The silence is deafening. Your hands clutch onto the end of the blanket. He leans impossibly closer, and the stench of whatever is on him becomes all to familiar. Heโ€™s smelt like it before, but never this strong.
โ€œHow long were the help bothering you?โ€
โ€œSince I got here.โ€ Thereโ€™s little point in trying to lie about it now.
โ€œIf you hide something from me again Iโ€™ll break three of your fingers.โ€
A little specific, but the threat certainly does the job.
โ€œOkay. Iโ€™mโ€ฆ sorry.โ€ Youโ€™re not.
Finally, he pulls away, eyes still trained on your face.
โ€œGo to sleep.โ€
You donโ€™t. Youโ€™re certain that you canโ€™t, at least not for tonight. Especially not after hearing him turn the shower on, and after heโ€™s done leave the room once more.
Instead, you sit and stare at the ceiling, and wonder if any of those in the basement will even have three fingers left of them, by the time heโ€™s done.

You knew the exact day, hour, minute, and second the two lines on that test appeared and confirmed the wish you and Charles had been waiting for. But what got you there... now that was a mystery. It was like finding that one specific good needle in a stack of needles.
Ever since your boyfriend had mentioned children to you, you and Charles have spent more time acting like animals in heat. It was lewd, obscene, sometimes immoral given the places it happened, but God was it hot.
You were currently coming towards the end of your second trimester. Your baby bump wasn't visible to the naked eye when you wore clothes but no one would also deny that you were pregnant. Apparently, your baby girl (yes a girl, the already doting Charles couldn't be more thrilled) was the size of a banana.
Besides feeling sick, having odd cravings, and being unusually hormonal, you were heavily preparing for your due date. Honestly, you didn't need to prepare that much. Charles had been working on it himself with both of your families so you didn't feel stress. And as sweet as it was, you couldn't help it. You were having a baby for Christ's sake. This wasn't a paper you thought you could wing the night before.
Your eyes strained at the pile of pregnancy books Mama Leclerc had brought you, all new and updated with the times... her words not yours.
You liked to read. It was your favourite pastime. But this... this wasn't particularly enjoyable. Scary, if anything. How on earth did people get anything done with this much information? You have to have enough iron to prevent defects to the baby but not too much otherwise you could still harm the baby?
Huh?
You blinked and shook your head. Your eyes reverted to the also busy (reading) bee sat on the couch. You smiled softly at the sight of Charles. It was winter. The sun was still making it's visits but it was cold enough to put on the heater in the early evening. Charles wrapped up in that one cream knit sweater you brought him with his glasses and book five on parenting tips made you all warm on the inside.
You quietly walked over to him, pulling the book gently from his hands. "What are you thinking of, amour?" You queried, slowly removing his glasses from his face and resting them with the book on the coffee table.
Charles smiled at your presence, opening his arms so you could sit on his lap. His one hand automatically came to your stomach, rubbing your bump like he had been ever since he saw those two lines. The other held your waist, knowing very well your back had been getting sore without doing anything but walking.
He hummed in thought. "I was thinking about when exactly I got you pregnant. Was it the morning in the hotel room in the end of year party in Abu Dhabi? Or in the bathroom on the ride from Qatar to Texas? Italy, maybe? The wine was really good that night."
You gasped at his words, smacking him lightly on his arm. "You animal... and here I was thinking you were being all sweet, reading about parenting."
Charles grinned, blues eyes twinkling at you. "Hey, I have to tell our princess one day where she came from. And it won't be a stork. Maybe I'll say in my driving room in Japan."
Your mouth dropped in shock at the nonchalant shrug you received from Charles. You pushed yourself out of his arms. "Charles!" You practically screeched in horror, making a wave of laughter fall from his lips.
His arms quickly reached towards you, pulling you closer as your warmth was just beginning to disappear. "I'm kidding... mostly," Charles mumbled, smiling at your small glare.
You rolled your eyes, looking at Charles with sarcastic gaze before you narrowed it. "Also 'princess?' What about me?" You pouted.
Charles chuckled softly, holding you tighter. "You're still my princess, amour. But when our little girl comes, you'll be my queen."
You blinked, trying to suppress the cringe and embarrassment. "I'm going to go pretend to throw up because I'm pregnant and not because of you. But I'll find it endearing some other day... in the far, far future.
Charles sighed, shaking his head. "You're a menace."
You gaped at him. "I'm a menace. That's rich coming from you. Weren't you the one who was just thinking about which place we screwed each other to have this child?"
Charles winced, putting his forehead on your shoulder. "Well, when you say it like that..." He grimaced. Sucking in a sharp breath, he decided to change subjects. "How does brunch sound?"
Your ears perked up and your eyes squinted with a sudden happiness. "I'm cooking," Charles told you. You dropped your smile. "It sounds awful..."
โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”
After teasing Charles for his cooking, you did end up having lunch. Charles, who was initially terrible at making any morsel of food, had found his talent in making pregnancy food.
Even though Charles lacked knowledge about food, ever since you found out you were pregnant, he had made sure every single thing you ate was edible for you and your little girl.
It was amusing to be honest.
You had joined Lorenzo and the others for dinner at a restaurant and the moment a wine bottle landed on the table, Charles pushed the bottle away from you as far as he could, fearing even the mere particles of wine you could breathe in would affect you.
As entertaining as it was, it was sweet. You knew that Charles naturally had a fear of being a bad father. His own father was the kindest soul he had ever met, his role model. Living up to that was going to be difficult. Furthermore, he still wanted to maintain a high standard while racing. Similar to that of Sebastian. But even Seb had ended up taking some time off to spend with his kids.
"What's with the face?" Charles queried, eyeing from the kitchen as he finished drying the last plate.
You blinked out of your trance. A tired sigh fell from your lips. "My boobs."
The plate in Charles' hands almost fell. Charles' head snapped towards you. "I... your... what?" He spluttered, putting down the plate gently before walking over to you.
You smiled softly at his confusion. You were about to speak up but Charles suddenly jutted out his hands. "No, wait! Don't tell me. I've got this. I read now."
The comment elicited a small laugh from your chest. Nodding, you waited patiently as he pondered around you.
"Okay... boobs... uh, this is great. I actually can't stop picturing your boobs now." Charles gave you a pointed look. You raised your hands in your defence, signalling him that this wasn't your problem. Your boyfriend fell into thought again, trying to think back to all the books he had been reading. Was it chapter three or six? It wasn't exactly breastfeeding...
"Ah!" Charles clapped his hand, dragging a seat from the table to sit in front of you. "Lactation! Tender breasts. While the tenderness tends to be less during the second trimester... uh, what was it? The... the lactation, yes, the lactation may cause more discomfort instead."
You watched Charles delve into an explanation about the biology behind it as if he was Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds. Another side of him you were discovering through this pregnancy. Charles didn't retain much information unless it was about you or racing, but if it was related to pregnancy, little did you know, he would eventually become a wikipedia.
You blinked slowly. "So are you going to help?" You asked, cutting him off abruptly.
Charles paused at your words. He raised his brows. "Help you?" He enunciated each word clearly.
You nodded, leaning back into your chair. "I thought you were going clean me up," You whispered in a way that had Charles' cock jumping again. "Something about massaging my breasts."
Charles' mouth felt dry. "I did say that..." He trailed off before letting out a groan. "Ah, ma chรฉrie, why would you say that? Iโ€“fuck. You know how I feel about this."
You leaned over, putting a hand over his knee. "Charles, the doctor said it's fine."
Charles felt strongly about your breasts during your pregnancy. They were bigger, heavier and fuller. It turned him on more than he imagined it to. But as much as he was waiting for you to lactate, Charles also felt strongly about not hurting you. 'Cleaning' you up would only make him want to have sex and he was terrified about hurting you or the baby.
"I know..." Charles murmured, sucking in a sharp breath. Your doctor who remained professional to the end when you asked whether you could have sex (much to Charles' embarrassment and joy) cleared you for it. Actually, they encouraged it, saying it was good and healthy for the both of you.
Yet, Charles couldn't help be worried. So much to the point where you hadn't had sex for well over fifteen weeks.
"I mean if you seriously don't want to," You told him, retracting your hand. "It's okay."
Charles quickly took your hand back with his own. "No, I want to. Seriously, you have no idea how much I want to," He said with his voice thick, sending a familiar tingle between your thighs. "I just..." He sighed, "You'd tell me if I hurt you, right?"
Your eyes softened. Squeezing his hand gently, you used the other to caress his face. You gave a firm nod. "In a heartbeat," You promised.
Charles smiled lightly. With your hand in his, he stood up. "Let's go to the bedroom, hmm?"
โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”
After taking off your underwear, Charles let out a low breath as he peeled off your shirt to see your bare breasts in front of him. He'd seen them when you got ready in the morning, it drove him crazy, but his fear always got to him first.
Looking at them like this, so close to him, it reminded him of the first time you had sex. Except, your breasts weren't showing such obvious signs of pregnancy: so full, almost two cup sizes bigger.
Charles pressed his lips together tightly, eyes glued to your breasts before flickering down to your stomach. He could see the bump a lot more clearly now that it was bare. The sight of it made him happy in far too many ways. It was like he was a teenager all over again. He wasn't sure what to do first.
Slowly, you encouraged him, silently bringing his hand over to your breasts.
A shaky breath fell from his mouth as a sudden surge of warmth came in contact with his hand. He moved his eyes to you, testing the waters by moving his thumb over your nipple. By your hitched breath and your suddenly dazed eyes, Charles could tell you were sensitive and completely fine. But he needed your words.
Bringing his other hand to your face, his thumb trailed of your lips. "Are you okay?" He softly asked, still grazing over your nipple.
"Charles," You let out a strained sigh, "If you don't move your fucking hand or do something, I will move it for you."
Yup, you were okay.
Charles chuckled quietly. His teeth sunk into his lips upon feeling a slight wetness at the pad of his thumb. He gulped at the white milk falling out of your nipple.
You eagerly watched Charles' head duck closer towards your breasts, mouth opening to wrap his lips around your milk covered nipple. A long whine fell from your mouth, head digging into your mattress. Your hand travelled up his neck and into his hair, eliciting a grunt from Charles as you pushed yourself further into his touch.
The taste on Charles' tongue was unlike anything he had ever tasted (well that he remembered of). It was sweet and creamy, coating his mouth ever so smoothly. It was a strange yet satisfying thought to think that while your body had made the milk, a part of him had participated in it. Technically, he had also made it. "Fuck," He hissed against your breast, realising your milk was far too addictive.
You let out another moan, tightening your grip on Charles' hair, feeling the grasp of his other hand on your other breast, twisting your pebbled nipple as he sucked on the other.
Your pussy was fully drenched, sensitive to any touch you received from Charles. You squeezed your thighs together, trying to relieve the creeping arousal that was intoxicating you.
Charles grunted, short breaths falling from his lips as he parted from your nipples. You whimpered at the sight of him licking the white liquid from his lips. The look in his blue eyes was surreal; crazed like a monster that wouldn't be satiated until he had entirely devoured you.
He brought his lips to yours, bringing you into a heated sloppy kiss. Your mouth moved against his, the taste of your own milk entering your tastebuds while your skin burned at his touch. Charles' breaths were heavy, chest rising up and down rapidly. "You taste that, princess?" He queried, lips lazily falling down your jaw. "You taste so fucking good," He rasped.
"Charles," You moaned out, hips jerking up at every tug on your nipple against a race of desperation.
"I know, baby, I know," Charles murmured with slight disbelief. He couldn't wrap his head around how sensitive you were. You were squirming and aching for his touch just by the touch of your nipples. His cock throbbed as his mind wandered just how you'd react to his cock or his tongue against your drenched folds.
Reluctantly, Charles moved his mouth away from your breasts, still keeping his hands on them, groping and teasing you with no mercy. Arriving to your pussy, he bit down on his swollen lips, uttering out a string of curses under his breath. He knew you were wet but not this wet. You had made a mess... the bed sheets were sported damp spots while your inner thighs were glazed with your arousal, ready to be eaten.
An apology quickly flew from his lips, making you furrow your brows. "For leaving you untouched," He murmured, hot breath dancing across your thighs yet cool to your burning folds. "Amour, I'm going to make up for it. Every fucking day," He promised.
Your stomach churned at his words while you drew in a deep breath. Christ. "I'm holding you to that promise, Cha," You whispered lightly, growing antsy with every passing second.
Charles grinned shamelessly against your thigh. "I should start now then, hmm?" He baited you by leaving soft kisses against your ample flesh, nose just skimming your pussy. He couldn't help but smile at the sudden gasp fallen from your reddened lips and jerk of your hips. You were clenching around nothing.
Your head dug into the mattress of your bed as Charles placed his mouth against your pussy, flattening his tongue and taking a long stripe of your warm folds. He sucked on every part of your pussy, darting his tongue on every crevice so naturally as if he had committed it to memory.
Your mewls that had turned into pure blubbers. You were sure you weren't making any sense. All that you knew was that Charles was eating you like he was tasting you for the first time, barely coming out for a breath while his nose rubbed against your clit, lapping at you like some sort of animal and it felt fucking phenomenal.
Charles' cock was uncomfortably and impossibly tight against his pants. He was struggling between continuing to eat you out because you tasted so good and prepping you for his cock. He was desperate to feel your walls again.
Your blubbers were now high pitched gasps upon feeling Charles' tongue drag to your clit, nibbling and sucking the sensitive bundle of nerves as he propped one finger into your walls. You could feel the coil in your stomach tighten. "Fuck, Charles," You moaned, hips jerking up to get even more stimulation while your eyes were clamped shut.
Charles grunted against your pussy, feeling your toes curl while he thrusted his finger out of you. God, you were even tight around his single finger. He couldn't help but wonder how you were going to give birth. His eyes darted up to your face, watching your back arch, exposing your leaking breasts to more air while your breath quivered. He could tell you were close.
Charles promised he'd be gentle. But he never promised he'd be kind.
Your eyes snapped open at the sudden loss of Charles' touch and the quickly distancing euphoria. You whined in annoyance. Even now, Charles was a menace.
"I know, princess. I'm sorry. Fuck, I just need to be in you, hmm?" Charles mumbled in a hurry, moving his body up and scrambling to remove his boxers. If he kept lapping at you like the animal he was, he was sure he was going to cum just like that.
If this was any other circumstance, you were sure you would be cursing at Charles in French. But taking a look at his throbbing cock, standing strong and hard in all it's glory... it took the words right of your mouth and had sent all the feelings straight to your pussy. In fact, you were even patient in the mere seconds it took Charles to adjust himself over you, revelling in his dazed hooded eyes, the blown pupils and his sweat-glittered skin.
Charles place the finger he had put inside you on your lips, gesturing for you to suck your arousal off. Without any objection, you parted your swollen lips and took a slow and long stripe of his finger, tasting yourself on your tongue. A guttural groan came from his mouth. Any second longer...
You sucked in a sharp breath when Charles let his bubbling saliva slowly fall from his mouth and onto the aching tip of his cock, rubbing the natural lube up and down his shaft. Shifting his hips a bit, the both of you let out a low blow upon the feeling of his flushed cock on your puffy folds.
Charles hovered over your body, placing his swollen lips on your leaking breast, savouring the sweet taste of your milk while letting his cock rub against your engorged pussy. He could hear your soft whimpers, loud enough for the entire room to reverberate off its walls. A rippling tremble surged through his body as he rocked his cock against your folds, feeling your wetness soak mix with his saliva and coat him entirely.
"Charles," You mewled, "Keep teasing and you won't feel this pussy again I promise."
The threat you made was empty and weak. The both of you knew it. Yet, the mere possibility or even the thought made Charles quickly but carefully push his cock into your pussy. He grunted at the feeling of your walls around his cock slowly welcoming you. Shit... You were tighter around his cock than his finger, already clenching around him.
"Merde," Charles swore. "You feel so good, princess."
Your hands fell around his neck, loosely holding him to you as his cock stretch you out. You could tell he wasn't as deep as he usually was with the baby taking up more space but when combined with your pregnant sensitivity, it left you more flustered and blazing than ever.
"Are you okay?" Charles managed to grit out.
You gave him a rushed nod. "Move... please," You begged, struggling to keep your eyes open.
Charles' hips began to move faster at your command, rutting at such as speed that pushed his aching cock against your walls, lost in the pleasure your brought by gripping him like a vice. His eyes fell to your mouth. Your moans and whines looked as though they were going to burst out of you. Bringing his puffy lips to yours, he swallowed all your angelic and sinful sounds into his body like he was consuming your very essence.
His hand travelled to your hips before trailing to your bump. The things this baby had done to him before even confirming those two lines was beyond Charles. Pulling away from your lips, he almost faltered when he saw your face.
God, you were just so... beautiful. Your flushed face, lust-ridden eyes, sweat-ridden hair moving in all sorts of directions, skin even stained with his marks of love he had made unknowingly... all with that pregnancy glow... beautiful.
"I love you, ma chรฉrie," He whispered out. "You're going to be the most wonderful and gorgeous mother in the entire universe. Our baby is going to be the luckiest child."
Tears pricked at your eyes as the pleasure still coursed through you. The coil in your stomach was coming to a breaking point while broken sobs came out of your mouth. Fuck, you couldn't even tell what you wanted anymore. Your hand reached out to Charles' face, feeling the small hairs on his face as you caressed him. "And you're the only person I would ever want with me... the only person who could be the father of my... our children."
Charles let out a faint high pitched moan. His hand moved to your abandoned clit, starting his abuse on the sensitive bundle of nerves. You let out a silent gasp while he chased both of your climaxes, his twitching cock snapping into you. Everything around you began to blur while your orgasm hit you in big waves as his hips stuttered against you, spilling ropes and ropes of his warm, white cum into your walls.
Your body convulsed as Charles continued to rub your clit, taking advantage of your sensitive state almost selfishly just so he could see you completely space it out in the ecstasy of it all. You let out a soft cry, pussy clenching around him to take every last drop of his cum you could get as the last few waves of his orgasm shot through him.
Charles sighed, wincing softly while taking his cock out of you, making sure to fall down next to you instead of over you like he usually did. His sweaty arm brought you in closer to him, baby bump grazing his cock. Pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead he smiled down at your tired state. "I should clean you up more often, hmm, princess?"
You managed to roll your eyes, hitting him weakly in his arm. "You are awful."
Charles grinned, popping his dimples out at you. He nodded casually. "Yeah... but you love me," He teased.
You suppressed another eye roll and simply smiled, slowly succumbing to the heavy weight on your eyes. A yawn fell from your lips. "I do. I love you... a lot."

Jacaerys Velaryon
Finding Out
Jacaerys has the audacity to look shocked when the Maester tells him that youโ€™re pregnant, like the two of you havenโ€™t been fucking like rabbits ever since you got married
No seriouslyโ€”he literally freezes and just kind ofโ€ฆstares with an unreadable expression on his face
Just sort of wide-eyed, in shock before he finally snaps out of it and briskly walks away without another word
Heโ€™s not really sure what to do, or how to react to be honest. And it might take a few days for him to come around, but he will eventually
Bonus: Rhaenyra sees his reaction and sheโ€™s like Jacaerys, what did you expect?
And heโ€™s like: Not this
And then sheโ€™s like: Well did you pull out? Ask for moon tea? Something??
And Jace is just like staring at her like: No? Why would I do that?
Like boy what did you expect when you literally nut inside your wife every single time
During Pregnancy
Once he does come around though, Jacaerys will be so protective. Iโ€™m talking like he barely let you out of his sight, and makes sure that everyone knows youโ€™re pregnant
Like they canโ€™t already tell, heโ€™ll constantly tell people that youโ€™re carrying his heir and that they need to be careful with you
Even the Maesters who literally know what theyโ€™re doing get a scolding by the future king if he thinks theyโ€™re being too rough
No one is allowed to get too close to you and if they do, Jace will always have one hand on his sword just in case he needs to defend you
He will even better himself at sword fighting, pushing himself to the limits during the hours that heโ€™s not with you so that he can always be prepared
For Jacaerys, you being pregnant is sort of like a wake-up call for him, a chance for him to finally rise to his responsibilities and become a bit more serious
He understands the weight of being king now and for Jace, heโ€™ll want to put away all childish things so that he could become the man you and your child need
Giving Birth
Oh my god heโ€™s so supportive
Iโ€™m talking like this is a man that will get behind you and physically hold you while you push
Despite what anyone says, he will be there for the birth of his child and he will be so soothing
Holding you, kissing you, kissing your neck to calm you down, taking the cloth from the Maester and wiping the sweat off of your forehead
Jacaerysโ€™ support of you never ends and heโ€™s constantly telling you how proud of you he is even while youโ€™re screaming your lungs out
Heโ€™ll help you breathe and let you squeeze his hand till you break it if thatโ€™s what you so desire
Calling you his brave girl and letting out teary laughter when your baby is finally delivered
After Birth
When your child is born, itโ€™s like fatherhood is something Jacaerys is born for
Heโ€™s a natural; knowing exactly what to say and how to raise your children even if you are still figuring it out
Seriously, itโ€™s like he has a cheat code or something
If the two of you have a boy, then Jace wonโ€™t hesitate to start grooming him to be king and unlike most fatherโ€™s, he is very involved in his sonโ€™s upbringing
Jacaerys will be the one to teach him how to hold a sword, how to ride a horse and a dragon. Jace will be there for his son every step of the way no matter how improper it may seem
Likewise, if he has a daughter, he will be entirely overprotective
If you thought it was bad when she was in the womb, just wait until Jace takes one look at his baby girl
Suddenly, heโ€™s terrified to let her out of his sight; sometimes even holding her on his knee during council meetings. She likes to play with the marble and Jace tries so hard to keep a straight face while also wrestling it out of her hands
Everyone at the meeting will try and pretend like they donโ€™t hear her babbling and like itโ€™s not the cutest thing ever while theyโ€™re talking about literal war
Overall, Jace would be prepared to defend you and your children to the death if need be, and he would be such a stern but loving dad
Lucerys Velaryon
Finding Out
Luke doesnโ€™t even notice that you havenโ€™t gotten your moon blood for several months and neither do you, until one day a servant happens to say something and youโ€™re both like: oh shit
Since you both are still quite young youโ€™re not really supposed to be having heirs at the moment. Like Rhaenyra specifically told this boy to not get you pregnant just yet and now heโ€™s terrified of telling her
So yeah, it was an accident and Luke is so nervous heโ€™s literally shaking when the Maester confirms it
But sweet boy, he will do his very best to remain calm and will put on a brave face for you
Heโ€™ll act like heโ€™s not scared as well at the prospect of having children so young but on the inside heโ€™s freaking out. Heโ€™ll hold your hand tightly and give you kisses to calm you down, keeping his voice from shaking to seem brave
During Pregnancy
Even though itโ€™s a little too soon for the both of you to become parents, Luke will slowly become excited at the prospect of becoming a father
Like heโ€™s so proud, growing to love his child before youโ€™re even four months along
He decides right then and there that heโ€™ll do anything to protect you and his child and swears that no harm will ever come to either of you
While youโ€™re pregnant, Luke will take on every single responsibility so that you wonโ€™t be stressed out. He always has you relaxing and content while he deals with all of the hard stuff
And yeah, over the course of the months he will find himself growing up a little
Maybe a little bit too fast, much his motherโ€™s sadness, but Rhaenyra canโ€™t help but love the look of pride of Lukeโ€™s face every time he touches your belly. And neither can you
You love when Luke rubs your son or daughter and you especially love when he blows raspberries on your stomach, giggling every time while he coos to the baby or talks to them in High Valerian
Itโ€™s a such a sweet moment to witness and many people, sometimes even Daemon, catch themselves smiling or smirking at you and the young prince
Giving Birth
Okay, so Lucerys is now back to being scared shitless
It all started on the day you delivered your child, with Luke sweating and pacing outside of your room while the Maesters attended to you
Your screams severely upset him and he kept pacing back and forth in the hallway, peeking in the room and desperately trying to get a glimpse of you before the Maesters pushed him out
He wants to be there for you so bad, especially since itโ€™s your first pregnancy and youโ€™re crying your eyes out for him
Eventually, heโ€™ll just have to say damn it and force his way in, gathering his courage for his wife. And even though the Maesters tell him that itโ€™s highly improper, heโ€™ll ignore them and will hold your hand the entire way
Whispering sweet praises in your ear and stroking your back while Rhaenyra or your own mother loudly encourages you
Heโ€™ll be so worried up until the moment he hears that first cry, and thatโ€™s when everything just melts away for Luke and all he can feel is happiness when the Maester hands you your child
After Birth
After your child is born, you and Luke are the absolute best parents
Youโ€™re both soft and gentle with your baby, and youโ€™re glowing in a way that Luke just absolutely loves
Both of you have immense pride for your son or daughter and you fall in love immediately despite not even knowing if you were ready yet
You justโ€ฆjump in and honestly itโ€™s not so bad for you and Luke once your bundle of joy finally gets there
Lucerys especially is thrilled, winning the best dad award for always playing with your child or making up silly games to make them laugh
You love watching him interact with your baby because heโ€™s just so good at it and he doesnโ€™t even realize it
Sometimes, heโ€™ll confess his insecurities that he might not do a good job at raising your kid and you literally have to be like: hold up. Luke youโ€™re doing amazing already
Heโ€™d be scared and terrified on where this new adventure would lead but honestly, Lucerys has never been happier and in the end it would all work out
Also, he totally gets so excited when you let him pick out an egg for the baby, just like he did for his brothers
Itโ€™s almost like itโ€™s tradition, and every single time Luke knows exactly the right one to choose
Aemond Targaryen
Finding Out
If youโ€™re nervous to tell Aemond, then donโ€™t be
Nine times out of ten heโ€™s so perceptive that heโ€™ll put it together himself and Aemond will be over the moon
He will not stop smiling the entire time the Maesters confirm it, pressing a hand to your stomach and kissing your belly
His reaction kind of throws you off a little bit because youโ€™ve never seen him so excited in his life, but he reassures you that heโ€™s been waiting so long for this moment and now heโ€™s just ecstatic that itโ€™s finally here
During Pregnancy
While youโ€™re pregnant, Aemond hardly ever lets you leave your bed chambers. Nor does he let anyone other than your family or Maesters near you
Heโ€™s just so protective and heโ€™s paranoid that somethingโ€™s going to happen so he wants you to be safe at all costs
He definitely does his own research because itโ€™s not like he distrusts the Maesterโ€™s, he just wants to be sure that he knows what they know and more about childbirth in case he has to step in
God forbid your baby wonโ€™t come or is stuck upside downโ€”two common themes for Targaryen children. Aemond reads all about it so that he knows different ways of getting the baby out or repositioning it without hurting you
Heโ€™ll also read about different birth techniques and decides to teach you to make your labor easier
Making you drink raspberry tea, take walks or stretch to lesson your pain when the time comes
You have to admit, youโ€™re a bit shocked when your husband comes to you and makes you start doing breathing exercises with him
After all, who would have thought Aemond of all people would be so involved and so devoted?
It definitely warms your heart to see thoughโ€”and no matter how much you want to wave him, you always end up letting him help you because you trust your husband you know more than anything he has yours and your childโ€™s best interests at heart
Giving Birth
Aemond will respect your privacy and will wait outside during your labors, but you better believe heโ€™ll be right there
Listening to every scream and every detail just in case he feels the need to step in
If you really want him to be there, he absolutely will be in a heartbeat. And if anybody tries to stop him heโ€™ll venomously tell them to get out of his way before pushing them aside
As much as he loves his incoming child, majority of Aemondโ€™s focus will be on you and your safety
Heโ€™ll make sure everything is going smoothly before he even thinks about celebrating and only then will he finally start to smile, a grin like no other taking over his face when your baby is finally placed in his arms
After Birth
Aemond is a caring yet trusting father
He knows that if his child came from you, theyโ€™ll already grow up to be exceptional so he allows them to grow into their own person
He doesnโ€™t hover, but he does care. A lot
He may not show it in every way but if your child wants his attention, theyโ€™ve got it. If they want to play with him, he absolutely will. If they want to be comforted? Heโ€™s there. They tell him they want some space? Then Aemond is in the next room over, ready to talk when they are
In a way, your children are way for Aemond to heal his own self. To be there as a parent like his never were
Early on, Aemond already swore to you and your babe that he would never abandon you or ignore you when you needed him most
He swore to break the curse his parents placed on him so he is very involved with his kids
Heโ€™s also very protective, especially considering what he went through in his childhood. He never wants his child to feel left out so Aemond will go searching for a dragon egg pretty early on
You better believe that thing is burning HOT until the moment itโ€™s ready to be placed in your childโ€™s cradle
And Aemond swears
He swears by the old gods and the new that if they allow his child to have their own dragon he would never commit another sin again, if thatโ€™s what it took
And sure enough, Aemond is beyond relieved when your babies egg hatchesโ€”the widest grin ever overtaking his face as the baby dragon prances about
You swearโ€”you sometimes joke that it was Aemondโ€™s fiery gaze on the egg that hatched it and not nature
And while that very well may be true, Aemond is just grateful nevertheless that even if he wasnโ€™t delt the best cards, he sure would find a way to rig the game for his children
Anything just to make them happy
Daemon Targaryen
Finding Out
You wish you could say that after having two children of his own, your husband would recognize the signs of pregnancy
But unfortunately Daemon is not a man that concerns himself with that kind of stuff so itโ€™s the Maester that points it out to him
And at first, Daemon is stunned
Like okayโ€”he knows that he never pulls out and that the two of you go multiple rounds a day but pregnant?
He thought that your tits getting bigger was just, well, a huge blessing for him
He can hardly believe his ears or that heโ€™s going to have more children
Briefly, he jokes that he may as well start breeding his own army which causes you to punch his arm
Joke aside though, Daemon is really happy and he will shower you with kisses, laughing slightly at how his seed must be extra strong to stick so fast
During Pregnancy
Daemon is not really much help himself, expect for when it comes to massages or warm baths
Almost every night, to ease your discomfort, your Lord husband will bathe you which is oddly intimate for him, or he will massage your feet and shoulders to soothe some of the pain
Of course, your other activities will remain as well which helps a little the closer you get to birth
Mostly, Daemon will be ordering Maesters around or just simply asking you of your progress from time to time
He really hopes for a boy secretly, and sometimes while youโ€™re sleeping or just barely awake, he will rub your stomach and whisper sweet phrases in High Valerian
Expect Daemon to also already have the names of his children picked out, boy or girl
He might even ask Baela or Rhaena their opinion and let them choose an egg from Caraxes
If he has to be somewhere else where he cannot physically look after you, heโ€™ll also entrust his daughters to keep them informed and up to date on your condition
Giving Birth
Daemon is outside, on the balcony while your screams reach his ears
Truth be told, itโ€™s too much. He canโ€™t be there as much he wants to beโ€”as much as you surely need him to be
After witnessing Laenaโ€™s death, childbirth has become quite traumatizing for Daemon so he prefers to remain outside, waiting until a Maester or one of his daughters come to fetch him
Of course, Baelaโ€”ever her fatherโ€™s daughterโ€”scolds Daemon a bit and reminds him that every lady wife needs her husband during such times
But Daemon will not budge, not until Rhaena comes to the balcony with an unreadable expression on her face
At first, Daemon is terrified. He stands, the breath freezing in his lungs as he tries to decipher what that might mean. Your screams had died downโ€ฆperhapsโ€ฆ
Daemon stands, his heart clenching in chest as he begins to possibly grapple with another untimely death of the one he loved. He prepares himself, but then a wide smile grows on Rhaenaโ€™s face and Daemon knows all is well
โ€œMy sibling is here. It is healthy, father.โ€
Thatโ€™s all Daemon needs. And suddenly, heโ€™s tearing himself away and down the halls, straight to your room where he walks in on the sight of your smiling face and the glowing cheeks of his newborn child
After Birth
You like to give Daemon the benefit of the doubt and say that he spends an equal amount of time with his children
Of course, maybe a little bit more attention towards the baby since he or she does need Daemon more than his adolescent children, but as your child grows up pretty much everything is the same
Baela and Rhaena absolutely adore their new sibling and vice versa. They may be a bit older but youโ€™ll always find the three of them playing together or one of the girls reading them a bed time story
It always warms your heart to see them bond, and Daemonโ€™s too
Though heโ€™ll never admit it, his favorite thing to do is spy on his children and eavesdrop as the girls help the youngest with their Valerian
Or when the three of them are together, somehow still fitting on his lap and Daemon teaches them the history of their house while you sit in the background, smiling
Itโ€™s special moments like those that remind you that while you may have married a morally grey man, his number one priority would always be his family
And you know more than anyone that with Daemon around, the five of you would never have anything to fear

MINE AND MINE ONLY.
Modern!Aemond Targaryen x wife!Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aemond has gotten you pregnant six months ago, and seeing him with his infant niece during dinner with his family sparks something inside of you only he can satisfy.
WARNINGS: SEXUAL CONTENTโ€”MINORS DNI; p in v, face sitting, slight anal play, slight breeding kink, pregnant sex, slight lactation kink
WORDS: 4.9 K
NOTES: Sorry, Iโ€™m kinda in baby fever right now donโ€™t ask me why. ๐Ÿ˜ญ This also is my gift for hitting 1850 followers a few days ago, which means Iโ€™m finally where Iโ€™ve been before deleting my old blog. Thanks for everyone following me on this journey. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป
Tumblr media
The days between Christmas and New Years usually are meant for people to take some much-needed downtime from the stress of the past days or weeks โ€“ unless you are a Targaryen or married to one.ย 
Itโ€™s the fourth year in a row youโ€™re spending one, sometimes even two, days at the large Targaryen mansion with every member of their family present.ย 
What started as an opportunity to celebrate the New Year early with her family four years ago, since Viserys and Alicent wanted to celebrate New Yearโ€™s Eve on a yacht somewhere in the Sea of Dorne back then, has quickly turned into a tradition that no one could escape.ย 
Not even the six-month pregnant you.ย 
As an excuse to not travel to the familyโ€™s vacation home on Dragonstone, Aemond has begged for you to allow him to tell his mother that your back pain has gotten so bad you couldnโ€™t sit in the car for four hours.ย 
The fact that he didnโ€™t fall to his knees while doing it was everything.ย 
But you have told him no, seeing that your back pains have eased two weeks ago, and it is one of the rare occasions he gets to spend with his whole family, not just his motherโ€™s side.ย 
If he wants to or not.ย 
Tumblr media
โ€œAnd how are you spending New Yearโ€™s?โ€ you ask, lounging in the burgundy Lawson chair.ย 
Helaena sits in the chair next to yours, fidgeting with the stem of her wine glass. Every now and then you spot her lilac eyes flickering to your protruding bump, accentuated by the tight slip dress you wear.ย 
โ€œThis year weโ€™re embracing a night in,โ€ she answers, nursing her alcohol-free wine. โ€œCregan doesnโ€™t want to leave the children with his parents, since Lyanna is still breastfeeding, and Edrick doesnโ€™t want to go without his little sister.โ€
You nod along to her words, smiling softly at the mention of her sonsโ€˜ protectiveness, and glance past her to Aemond, Aegon and Cregan. The men are standing close to the fireplace, glasses of whiskey between their fingers. Normally, they would be tipsy by now โ€“ some more than others โ€“ if it wasnโ€™t for the infant cradled in Creganโ€™s strong arms.ย 
Helaena follows your line of sight, the turning of her head prompting you to look at her again.ย 
โ€œWhat are your plans?โ€ she asks.ย 
You pucker your lips slightly, looking down at the glass of water youโ€˜ve rested on your belly before meeting her eyes.ย 
โ€œAegon has invited us to a party in White Harbor, a formal dinner with some of his friends. We wanted to go, because the place is stunning and itโ€™s overlooking the iconic harbor fireworks, but itโ€™s such a long drive, and Aemond doesnโ€™t want to risk anything by us taking the plane,โ€ you sigh, โ€œso, weโ€™ll probably stay at home or just go out for dinner.โ€
Ever since youโ€™ve handed him the gift box containing four identical, positive pregnancy tests, Aemond has taken over a protective aura and has found it incredibly difficult to keep his hands off of you.ย 
Itโ€™s a miracle he was able to talk to his brother and brother-in-law for so long without checking in on you once.ย 
But speak of the devil.ย 
What you arenโ€™t expecting when Aemond makes his way over to where youโ€™re conversing with his sister, is the little infant in his arms. Her head rests against his shoulder, while one of his large hands supports it and neck, and the other supports her bottom.ย 
Heโ€™s swaying her gently as he walks over, a proud smile on his lips as he canโ€™t tear his eyes off of his niece, coming to stand next to Helaenaโ€™s chair. The sight makes your heart swell with love.ย 
Cregan trails behind him, and your eyes briefly fall to the abandoned Aegon still standing at the fireplace and balancing their three glasses in his hands.ย 
โ€œHoney,โ€ the Northenerโ€™s gruff voice rings out, โ€œyour mother said that Edrickโ€™s made a mess. Could you change him while I clean up?โ€ Still standing offset behind your husband, Cregan pats Aemond on the shoulder once. โ€œOur girlโ€™s in good hands, and Aemy here can already practice for what awaits him soon.โ€
Helaena raises her eyebrows, before snickering at her husbandโ€™s remark. She bows her head once, smiling at you, โ€œexcuse me, Y/N.โ€
โ€œWeโ€™ll talk later,โ€ you assure her.ย 
She brushes her hand over your swollen belly once as she rises, Creganโ€™s hand on the small of her back urging her out of the living space.ย 
Aemond carefully sinks into the chair, and changes the position of the sleeping infant so sheโ€™s cradled in his arms.ย 
โ€œWhat have you been up to?โ€ he asks, finally moving his head to look at you.ย 
You were wearing a knitted sweater over your dress when you two arrived a few hours earlier, but with hot flashes attacking you every now and then, you have long opted to slip out of it and hang the sweater over a chair.ย 
And the outfit change clearly is only now noticed by him.
His lilac eyes flickered between yours and your full breasts, and you can literally see the gears turning in his head.ย 
โ€œYouโ€™re not wearing a bra,โ€ he states, full on staring at your breasts.ย 
Fine, maybe you have also done it to tease him a bit.ย 
A blush creeps onto his cheeks, running down his neck, and he slightly shifts in his seat, turning his gaze away as he clears his throat.ย 
Pressing your lips into a thin line to stop them from curling into a smile, you quickly shush the urge by taking a swig of your water. โ€œWasnโ€™t keen on spending the evening unable to think of anything else than how sore and uncomfortable I feel,โ€ you tease. โ€œAre you complaining?โ€
Aemond raises one hand in defeat, โ€œcertainly not, just pointing it out.โ€
You teasingly reach and bring your index finger to his chin, tilting it up for his eyes to meet yours again. โ€œThen you better stop staring, we're not the only ones here.โ€ย 
You glance briefly at the gathered party around you, watching Alicent chat with Rhaenyra and her husband, while Aegon seems to be deep in a conversation with Daemon, no doubt talking about the latest match between the Casterly Rock Lions and the Oldtown Saints.
โ€œFair enough,โ€ he answered with a low chuckle.ย 
The soft coos of his niece catch your attention, and you lean forwards to gauge at the little bundle. Sheโ€™s stirring lightly in her sleep, grimaces and smiles alike gracing her scrunched features. Aemond brushes her cheek with his knuckles in feather light touches, until her coos are interrupted, and wide, blue eyes stare up at him.ย 
Lyanna smacks her lips slowly, bringing her small hand up to her mouth. โ€œWhat is she doing?โ€ Aemond whispers, not daring to pull his eyes away from her in case she starts to cry.ย 
โ€œSheโ€™s hungry,โ€ you answer with a chuckle, grinning as you notice his helplessness.ย 
Itโ€™s so brief, but you spot his eyes flickering towards your full breasts, and you have to stop yourself from hitting his shoulder. One wrong word.ย 
โ€œYou know there are barely four months left until your life looks like this, too, right?โ€ you ask, cocking an eyebrow at him.ย 
โ€œI do, but they have not yet told us about this at the prenatal class.โ€
โ€œOh, come on, sheโ€™s not your first niece, and sheโ€™s not even crying.โ€
The sigh of relief Aemond releases as he spots Helaenaโ€™s silver hair in the far distance has you shaking your head, bringing your index finger up to your smiling lips.ย 
โ€œHow did you three get on?โ€ Helaena asks, noticing that her daughter is awake.ย 
Your husband rises to his feet, and hands his niece over to her. โ€œEasy, sheโ€™s just woken up and seems really hungry,โ€ he notes, as if he has figured it out all by himself. โ€œAnd how did you fare?โ€
Helaena releases a dry chuckle, brushing her free hand up and down Aemondโ€™s biceps. โ€œIโ€™ll tell you another time, donโ€™t want to scare you.โ€œ She briefly glances over at you. โ€œJust know that Creg has to bathe him right now, because the wet wipes were useless.โ€
The grimace on Aemondโ€™s face at his sisterโ€™s words has you choking on a laugh.ย 
Lyanna starts to whine and wiggle in her motherโ€™s grasp, getting her attention. โ€œSorry again, itโ€™s feeding time, obviously,โ€ she states, muttering the last word under her breath, and shoots you an apologetic gaze before scurrying off.ย 
You hold out a hand, and knowing what it means, Aemond takes it to help you up from the chair.ย 
His heart melts at the sight of you before him, and he wraps an arm around you to pull you against his side as he brushes his hand over the gentle swell of your belly in tender affection. There were shy kicks meeting his hand, making him grin.
You return the embrace, and lean yourself against his frame, your head resting on his chest. โ€œItโ€™s different when itโ€™s your own child, you know,โ€ you say, the small glimmer of a smile blessing your features.ย 
His head dips forwards, and he presses his lips to your temple, mumbling the words against your skin, โ€œI canโ€™t wait to meet him.โ€
โ€”
Aemond has his arm slung around your waist as everyone has gathered in the vast living space to watch the children perform a play they have practiced.ย 
Alicent, ever the proud grandmother, clings to Viserys as they watch in awe what the children of Rhaenyra have been up to. An oblivious Edrick appears in the middle of it all, but before Cregan can scoop him up, the little Viserys has taken his hands to include him in their mischief.ย 
โ€œHave I already told you how good you look today?โ€ Aemond whispers, his head dipping forwards so his lips are level with your ear. He rubs your bump gently, gazing at you with half-lidded eyes.ย 
You shiver from his touch, your body tingling from the attention your husband gives you. โ€œYouโ€™re not paying attention,โ€ you scold softly, nodding towards the children in the middle. A teenage Jacaerys, as well as Daemonโ€™s daughters from his first marriage, stand before you, your view of the play slightly concealed.ย 
โ€œI canโ€™t help myself,โ€ he whispers huskily, โ€œyouโ€™re just too distracting, Mommy.โ€ A smirk tugs on his lips as the name leaves them, and the sight is only topped by him leaning in to brush his lips over your ear, before they press to the sensitive skin behind it. The very spot that always makes you putty in his hands, and with your hormones in full swing, it does a little more than just melt you.ย 
โ€œAemond,โ€ you whisper, though he can also hear the trace of a moan in it, โ€œeasy.โ€
His teeth graze your earlobe, and the ring of his baritone voice sends a shiver down your spine, โ€œwe should go to bed early tonight.โ€
You canโ€™t help but to chuckle at his words. Itโ€™s his subtle way to ask for something without directly asking, though you know exactly what he means. You lean into him, pressing yourself against his side.ย 
Biting the tip of your tongue, it was impossible for you to stop your lips from pulling into a mischievous smirk.ย 
โ€œDo you think your mother will notice if we leave now?โ€ you ask, innocently.ย 
Youโ€™re greeted with a wide grin when your eyes meet Aemondโ€™s, and the arm he has wrapped around you tightens just more, keeping you against his frame.ย 
His lips brush your ear again, trailing down to press a kiss to the side of your neck. โ€œIf she does, she can tell me later,โ€ he raps into your ear, โ€œbesides, we wouldnโ€˜t be gone for too long, sweetheart. Just long enough for a littleโ€ฆ alone time. Who could blame us for wanting to savor the last weeks where itโ€™s only the two of us, mh?โ€
Aemond looks around one last time, noticing how everyone around you is mostly focused on the childrenโ€™s show.ย 
Bringing his hand to the small of your back, he gently guides you through the crowd of his relatives, before youโ€™re on the way to his childhood bedroom.ย 
Itโ€™s furnished in a minimalistic style, making it obvious that Alicent has spent some time decluttering her childrenโ€™s rooms to make them more presentable for whenever guests stay over. The room basically is Aemondโ€™s, and the rest belongs to Alicent.ย 
Walking in behind you, he locks the door. You look around briefly before his firm chest is flush against your back with his arms around your waist, resting on your bump. He presses his lips to the curve of your neck, prompting you to tilt your head to the side, and a shuddered breath to escape your throat.ย 
The feeling of his hard, clothed cock against the curve of your ass drives you to insanity, making you eager for more. He grinds against you as his fingers travel over your curves, and greedily fist the fabric of your dress.ย 
โ€œLet me help you undress, Mama,โ€ he rasps against your skin, goosebumps prickling in its wake.
When he sinks to his knees behind you, you whimper quietly, immediately missing the heat of his breath and lips on your body.ย 
โ€œAemond,โ€ you breathe, looking down at him as he pushes your dress up.ย 
The dumbfounded look that crosses his features with the skirt of your dress rucked up just shy beneath your bump has you chuckling, realization settling in.ย 
โ€œYou went commando?โ€ย 
Biting your bottom lip, you can basically see his excitement building, the bulge in the front of his slacks quite obvious despite him kneeling. โ€œI was feelingโ€ฆ adventurous today,โ€ you hum, a glint of mischief in your eyes.ย 
He canโ€™t help but to grin at your comment, and, on his way up, Aemond starts to press several kisses to the outside of your thigh, his fingers following in their trail.ย 
Standing to full height again, looming over you, he keeps his hand beneath your bump, his fingers caressing your pubic mound.ย 
You squeeze your thighs together in a desperate attempt to soothe the aching at the apex of them, since his fingers arenโ€™t touching you where you need them most. An anticipating moan slips past your lips, a shiver shaking your core.ย 
โ€œI hope youโ€™re prepared for me to be just as adventurous,โ€ he hums, โ€œ... and thorough.โ€
His fingers hook under the thin straps of your dress, tugging them off your shoulders to push the elastic fabric down your curves and onto the ground. Itโ€™s pooling around your ankles in a white puddle, leaving you completely bare to him with just a few touches.ย 
You shudder under his intense gaze, practically devouring you with just his lilac eyes, and try to break the tension by pulling him in for a kiss.ย 
You turn around mid-kiss, your protruding belly a barrier between your bodies. Before your hands can entangle into his strands, Aemond catches them and intertwines your fingers. He creates a small distance between your bodies, taking a few steps back and pulling you with him.ย 
His steps are deliberately slow, careful, and youโ€™re encouraged to climb his lap as he sits down at the edge of the bed. Both his feet are firmly planted on the ground, supporting your swollen body.ย 
He groans as you trap him between your legs, his hands roaming your curves almost immediately. The knowledge that he was the one responsible for the changes of your body, and that everybody else knew that as well, does something to him, making him all the more hungry for you.ย 
It was even more addicting to see you sit astride him like a goddess, ready to claim what was yours already anyways. Him.
Feeling his clothed member throb beneath you, the urge to grind above him is as inviting as never, and youโ€™re more than ready to give into the urge. Your wetness soaks his slacks, and the groan Aemond releases at the friction has you whimpering with him.ย 
Your lips meet for a fervent kiss, and while your hands rest on his shoulders, his are eager to explore the swell of your belly. His tongue finds its way past your lips, swirling around yours in a way that turns the kiss into all teeth and tongue.ย 
Dragging your teeth over his kiss swollen bottom lip, he tilts his head upwards and nudges the tip of his nose against yours. You lick over his lips once, but when you lean in to connect your lips again, Aemond stops you with his hand around your throat.ย 
โ€œI want you to sit on my face,โ€ he rasps, his voice husky.ย 
You havenโ€™t sat on his face in weeks, or rather ever since the round ligament pain kicked in and made even the simplest daily tasks difficult for you.ย 
Your eyes widen. โ€œButโ€“ Iโ€“โ€
โ€œNo, youโ€™re not too heavy,โ€ he interrupts, cocking one eyebrow at you.ย 
Thereโ€™s not even a chance for you to reject before he lies down and hooks his hands beneath your thighs, hoisting you up and pulling you towards his face. You sit on his chest, barely seeing his chiseled features from under your bump.ย 
As the position you are in truly settles in your mind, a bright blush starts to cover the apples of your cheeks. His angelic looks don't help either, strands of silver hair splayed out around his head like a halo, and his piercing lilac eyes fixed on you and you only. โ€œBut you tell me when it gets too much, no?โ€ you ask, coyly.ย 
Aemond rubs his hands over your bare thighs in comfort, nodding. โ€œAlways.โ€ Deep down you know itโ€™s a lie, because he has told you on more than one occasion that heโ€™d gladly leave the world suffocated by your delicious pussy, but you trust the feigned security he offers.ย 
โ€œNo promises about how long Iโ€™ll last, though,โ€ you tell him.ย 
A gentle pat to your thigh is what has you eventually inching forwards until your knees are on either side of his head.ย 
With your bump being quite protruding, you canโ€™t even see him anymore, you only hear his groans and growls when you cautiously settle in the new position.
The attempt to slightly hover your pussy over his face is fruitless the moment your husbandโ€™s hands fly to your hips, grabbing you and pulling you down onto his face. Just his nose perfectly teasing your clit has you moaning out loudly already, even though he hasnโ€™t even used his tongue yet.ย 
And then it follows.ย 
Aemond greedily laps at your entrance as his hands grip your hips tightly, holding you in place and playing you like a fiddle. It circles around your clenching hole, teasing it but never one dipping it inside.ย 
You clench around nothing, and bring one hand to your bump while the other just rests above his hand on your hip, squeezing it. Chasing the friction and warmth of his tongue, you rock your hips back and forth as much as his grip allows, coaxing whimpers and mewls to leave your lips.
โ€œGods be good,โ€ you whimper, the grip of your thighs around his face tightening. โ€œIโ€“I forgot how good you are at this.โ€
Seemingly keening at your praise, youโ€™re almost disappointed when he pulls his hand off of yours to cup your ass cheeks, yanking you impossibly closer. The groans that vibrate against your pussy send shivers up your spine that make you lose yourself in the pleasure, not focusing on where his hands are.ย 
At this point, Aemond was feasting at you like a man starved, all but devouring you with newfound vigor. His nose flicks against your clit with expert precision every time he tilts his head or you move your hips, drawing you closer to your orgasm.ย 
His index finger comes into play, teasing your throbbing folds for a split second. His true intentions, however, only show the moment it starts to circle around your other hole.ย 
โ€œFuck, Aemond, I-โ€ you manage as he carefully dips his finger into your hole, the added stimulation almost immediately tightening the coil in your belly. A muffled groan of appreciation shakes your core as he feels your unused hole tighten around his finger.ย 
You roll your hips against Aemondโ€™s mouth on the race to completion, any thoughts of being too heavy for him long gone, and replaced by nothing else than raw need and desire.ย 
Itโ€™s almost too much. Straddling the fine line between overwhelming and just the right amount. His nose rubs your clit, his lips lap hungrily at your swollen folds, and his index finger fills you pleasantly โ€“ he is redoubling his efforts.ย 
You keep dragging your hips back and forth in rhythm with his movements, fucking his face on the brink of your release.ย 
โ€œOh God, you-youโ€™re so goodโ€“ Aemond, Iโ€™mโ€“Iโ€™mโ€“โ€ you ramble, breathy whimpers filling in between the words.ย 
Hearing him slurp and groan beneath your trembling frame brings a blush to your face and stokes the fire in your belly, the sounds fanning through the room like your moans and whimpers.ย 
When the coil finally snaps, you throw your head back in ecstasy and clamp your thighs around his head, hot, white pleasure licking its way up your spine. His name topples off your lips more than once, accompanied by desperate mewls and whines. He is relentless, licking you through your orgasm.ย 
You donโ€™t wait long enough for the aftershocks to fully subside, the overstimulation of his tongue dragging through your folds becoming too much, and cup your pregnant belly as you heave your frame off of his face, shifting backwards down his body.ย 
โ€œFuck, Iโ€“I need you,โ€ you all but beg, eagerly tugging on the collar of his black shirt.ย 
Aemond seems to share your enthusiasm, and is quick to sit up again, meeting your lips for a deep kiss. Only when you cup his cheeks do you feel that theyโ€™re covered in your arousal, the taste of you on his tongue clouding your mind.ย 
Your belly is between you again, but Aemond manages to swiftly undo the zipper in the front of his slacks nevertheless, and shoves them down just enough to free his aching cock.ย 
โ€œSo desperate for my cock now, mh?โ€ Aemond pants against your lips, a smug smirk tugging on the corners.ย 
His hand wraps around his stiff member, fisting himself raw twice, thrice, before another pat served to your thigh encourages you to raise your hips. He aligns himself with your soaked entrance, and you feel his tip prodding gingerly at it.ย 
As you sink down on him, your hands tightly gripping the collar of his shirt, you release a shuddered breath. Your husband, on the other hand, escapes a relieved groan, his head tipping back for a moment.ย 
With your limbs still tingling from your previous orgasm, you bow your head forwards, lowering yourself on him until he is balls deep inside of you. โ€œMh, fuck, you didnโ€™t even bother to take off your pants,โ€ you taunt, โ€œso desperate to be inside me.โ€
Aemondโ€™s words die on his tongue as you start to sensually roll your hips over his, the added weight of the bump not allowing you to bounce up and down on him with the vigor you had used before your pregnancy.ย 
But your husband doesnโ€™t seem to mind, his eyes journeying into the back of his head at the sensation.ย 
Moving his hands to grope and grasp at every inch of your body, they eventually settle on your full breasts, tweaking and pinching your nipples between his nimble fingers while you unravel astride him. It prompts you to arch your back, all but shoving your breasts into his face.ย 
โ€œSo fucking good,โ€ he grunts, embracing it and wrapping his lips around your pert nipple while his arms snake around your body.ย 
He licks and sucks at your little bud like he has done with your pussy before, and, just judging by the smacking and humming sounds he makes, itโ€™s possible there ooze a few droplets of milk out of it.ย 
Aemond places his feet firmly on the ground, and starts to buck his hips up into yours, seemingly impatient for his own release as he meets the sensual rolls of your hips and bullies the spongy spot inside of you with more determination.ย 
Loud, wet sounds from where your bodies meet echo off the walls, indistinct to you with all you can focus on being his lips at your heavy breasts, and his cock deep inside of you.ย 
You bite your bottom lip and stop the rolling of your hips, making it evident that you were close to your orgasm. The tingling at the base of your spine makes it impossible to move any further and you rely on him to take over.ย 
Aemond pulls back and watches you gleefully as the force of his thrusts makes your body squirm and jerk, eagerly anticipating you to topple over the edge for the second time.ย 
โ€œYouโ€™re gonna cum on my cock already?โ€ he asks, almost mockingly.ย 
You frantically nod, breathing a yes.
His hands come to your hips, and with his fingers digging into your flesh, he drags your hips back and forth, your clit rubbing against the hem of his shirt with each movement. Youโ€™re not able to gasp more than yeses and pleases, clenching tightly around him.ย 
The intensity of his thrusts increases while you have stopped moving, toes curling as the taut string inside of you snaps without a warning and white stars cloud your vision.ย 
โ€œMh, fuck, fuck, fuck,โ€ you whine, clawing at his shoulders as you ride out your high, grinding and rolling your hips against his. Your walls clamp around him like a vice, and he chokes on a husky groan. โ€œOh God, I love you.โ€œ
And even though your orgasm subsides slowly, Aemond refuses to slow down, keeping his heedless pace and pursuing his own completion.ย 
He has his lips around your other nipple by now, sucking and nibbling on it, the vibrations of his groans coursing through your veins. โ€œDaddy, mh, cum for me, please,โ€ you whine, desperate for his cum.ย 
Your body, however, contradicts your words and moans, your thighs squeezing his in a desperate attempt to stop him from pounding into your overstimulated pussy โ€“ but to no avail.ย 
โ€œGod, please.โ€
His pace is as reckless and merciless as before, his cock all but forcing its way in and out of your quivering walls as he doesnโ€™t listen to your desperate pleas.
Pulling back from your nipple with a lewd pop, a string of saliva connects the dark areola and his swollen lips as he gazes up at you with half-lidded eyes. โ€œHush now, Mommy,โ€ he murmurs, tilting his head up to kiss you. The nickname coaxes a smug smirk on his lips. โ€œTaking me so well, such a good girl for Daddy.โ€ With just his praise, a warmth overtakes your body that drowns out the burning, your chest swelling.ย 
You sling your arms around his neck, burying your fingers in the silver strands of his hair in a way that is destined to ruin the little updo he had put it in this morning.ย 
โ€œMh, fuck, Iโ€™m gonnaโ€“โ€ his words are cut off with a stutter of his hips, and he feels his throbbing cock spill deep inside of you.ย 
You ride him through his high with lazy rolls of your hips, biting through the overstimulation, and clench and unclench around him as you milk him for every drop of his seed.ย 
If he hadnโ€™t gotten you pregnant already, he surely would have knocked you up after this.ย 
Aemond languidly fucks up into you now as the last spurts of his warm release fill you to the brim, grunting and groaning until the euphoria fades.ย 
He collapses on the bed, a blissed out expression on his face, and reaches to trace his fingers over the swell of your bump up to the curve of your breasts. Rolling the darkened buds between them, he smirks as he watches you squirm, his softening cock still buried inside of you.ย 
โ€œYou know,โ€ he starts, folding one arm behind his head. His voice is softer than before, but has a teasing edge to it. โ€œI wouldnโ€™t be surprised if everyone knew by now what weโ€™ve been up to.โ€
You laugh breathlessly and plant your hands on his chest, rubbing your thumbs over it. โ€œBut at least they donโ€™t have to worry about you getting me pregnant by accident,โ€ you tease.ย 
โ€œTrue enough,โ€ he chuckles softly, โ€œFuck, Iโ€™mโ€“I just canโ€™t help myself. Seeing your body swell just because of my seed fucking does something to me.โ€
His words make you blush, and you appreciatively run your hands over your bump.ย 
You lean forwards and cup his face, capturing his lips in a passionate kiss. He smirks against your mouth, and subconsciously bucks his hips into yours as he feels you clench around him.ย 
With a groan rumbling in his chest, he pulls back. Something dark flickers in his eyes, his intentions evident when he speaks again.ย 
โ€œOnce our boyโ€™s born, Iโ€™ll make quick work of making you a mother of two.โ€

Tumblr media
oh? what's this? it seems like your pregnancy triggered something in these men. their moreโ€ฆ "animal side", perhaps?
Tumblr media
ever since baizhuโ€™s confirmation - actually, even weeks before that - zhongli has been very reluctant to let you wander out of the house. or even out of his sight, in general (which is quite strange since with his enhanced dragon senses you know heโ€™s able to locate you within the house with no problems at all).
at night, you sometimes wake up to him in his dragon form. sometimes itโ€™s his compact form nuzzling and he's purring near your stomach, sometimes itโ€™s his half-dragon form where heโ€™ll place his head beside your stomach with his tail curling around you protectively. it doesnโ€™t matter whether youโ€™re already showing or not; your heartbeat and the little hatchlingโ€™s brings him a sense of comfort that he needs, lest he becomes restless.
his nesting behavior is out of control. heโ€™ll bring you all the pillows and blankets, surround you with the nicest smelling flowers, make you always wear his shirt, and heโ€™ll bring anything you want to the bed so you donโ€™t have to leave the nest. the further you are into your pregnancy, the more reluctant he is to leave you alone. he ends up taking that paternal leave hu tao has been telling him to get. bless her.
Tumblr media
gorou is just as excited as heโ€™s alerted. kokomi will have to force her best general to take a temporary leave from the army throughout your pregnancy because heโ€™s so jumpy and sensitive to literally everything and his behavior is making all of the soldiers anxious.
gorou insists that you take a walk with him every day; just something light around the block to keep you from feeling lethargic. heโ€™s also developed a habit to sniff everything that will touch your hand. yes, that includes your supposedly harmless change of clothes. itโ€™s not ridiculous in his opinion! itโ€™s a necessary precaution!!
will snarl when a stranger approaches you and tries to touch you in any way, even if itโ€™s just a friendly gesture. he would be so embarrassed and apologetic about it afterward, but only once youโ€™re at the safe haven of your house.
Tumblr media
are you a forest ranger? an adventurer? does your profession require you to venture into the wilderness? welp, say goodbye to your job for the time being, because there is no way in any cycles of samsara tighnari would let you go into the dangers outside while youโ€™re carrying his pups.
walking arm-in-arm whenever you're out and about is a must these days. whenever a villager congratulates you, you can sense his hold tightening despite the polite smile on his lips. if it was up to his instinct, he wouldnโ€™t have let you get out of the house, but rationally he knows you need to move around and breathe in the fresh air.
though you still wonโ€™t be exempt from your belovedโ€™s sassiness (โ€you want me to get you coffeeโ€ฆ? do you think iโ€™m an idiot?โ€) as long as what you ask for doesnโ€™t harm you, heโ€™s at your every beck and calls now, no question asked. youโ€™re craving for colleiโ€™s specialized pita pockets? heโ€™ll learn the damn recipe from collei herself and serve it on your favorite plate the next day. you want to be carried everywhere? good thing heโ€™s got the physique fitting for the head of the forest rangers. you want ten kisses a day? say no more; heโ€™ll give you thirty.
Tumblr media
[bonus - platonic]
Tumblr media
at first, diona seems super indifferent about it, only reacting with a โ€˜hmphโ€ฆ congrats, i guessโ€™, but her actions speak louder than words. you know how cats tend to hover around pregnant women and even lay themselves near their bulging bellies? that's right.
no, you will not be having alcohol. no, your spouse will not be having alcohol. no, all the people within five hundred meters radius from you will not be having any single drop of alcohol. she won't allow those boozehounds to get close to you.
sheโ€™s so amazed at how your stomach keeps growing bigger every time you visit her. when you give her your permission, sheโ€™ll curiously poke and stare at your bump. her hand will gently pat your tummy as she unconsciously smiles. she starts to seek you out more often after that, telling you that sheโ€™s just there in case you need help, but you know sheโ€™s just worried about you. she would be such a good big sister to your baby!

You and Charles hadnโ€™t been dating long but you were already head over heels for each other, knowing you wanted to spend the rest of your lives with each other.
Your relationship however had recently been thrown a curve ball in the shape of a positive pregnancy test. At first you were both stunned and at a loss of words but once the shock wore off, you were able to have a proper conversation on what you wanted to do and you both agreed you wanted this.ย 
There were some obstacles as Charles lived in Monaco when he wasnโ€™t going across the world with his career and you lived in London where you had your job and your friends.
That was the first obstacle which didnโ€™t take long to resolve, you wanted to be with Charles and if that meant moving to Monaco you were all in.ย 
The next obstacle was moving. Moving was a difficult task for anyone let alone a pregnant woman whose boyfriend could only be of help during small breaks at a time.ย 
Which was why you both had decided to hold off on the moving process until it was the summer break for Charles and he could fly to London to help you fully and so until then you decided to stay in London.
You wouldโ€™ve loved to been able to go and see Charles during some of the races but your first trimester was nothing but a nightmare.ย 
Your morning sickness was basically all day, your body ached and most of the time all you wanted to do was sleep. Charles understood completely and would reassure you that you were housing your unborn child, he prioritized that above everything else. ย 
Another obstacle was the media. You and Charles hadnโ€™t been dating long, less than a year and now you were having a baby. You were afraid of what people would say which was why you held off telling anyone especially the fans at least until you were situated in Monaco with Charles and then you could figure it out from there.ย 
Once you hit your second trimester, you started feeling better which brought both you and Charles relief. You had also been able to join him at Silverstone seeing as it was where you lived. You thanked London for being rainy because it allowed you to wear a hoodie to cover the bump you had started developing.ย 
It had been a decent race given the weather. Charles managed to get P4, he wouldโ€™ve loved to have been on the podium for you but you reassured him you were proud of him regardless of where he placed, plus you reminded him with no podium celebrations gave them more time together which uplifted his mood.ย 
Luckily there was a bit of a break between Silverstone and the Hungary Grand Prix which meant Charles could not only spend time with you but could also help you start to pack up your apartment.
He had stayed as long as he could in between the races but unfortunately the time came when he had to go. You sadly smiled at him as you stood by your doorย 
โ€œItโ€™s only a few weeks baby and then weโ€™ll be able to start being a familyโ€ you reminded him as he put his hand on your small but noticeable bump.
It was still a little early for Charles to feel your baby but you could sometimes feel little flutters, regardless he still enjoyed having his hands on your bump.ย 
He nodded at your words โ€œI know I knowโ€ he said as he closed his eyes temporarily before opening them again and leaning down to give you a kiss before going on his knees to talk to your bump
โ€œHi baby of mine, its your Daddyโ€ he started as you smiled looking down at him โ€œI have to leave you and mommy again but I promise you soon weโ€™ll all be together and then before we know it youโ€™ll be with us in our armsโ€ he said โ€œI cant wait to meet you, I love youโ€ he said giving your bump a small kiss before getting up.ย 
You shared another kiss and then he grabbed his bag, leaving. You sighed, you couldnโ€™t wait till you were back in his arms and could officially start this chapter of your life together.ย 
The events that followed however was by far the biggest obstacle you, Charles and your unborn baby would have to face.ย 
-
You had been packing in between watching your boyfriendโ€™s qualifying on Saturday and then ready to watch the race on Sunday especially given there was only an hour time difference.
Sunday rolled around and you realized you didnโ€™t have anymore packing foam. You groaned of course right as the race was about to start so you quickly shot Charles a text, knowing he wouldnโ€™t see it until after.ย 
'Y/N: Good luck baby! Me and Baby are rooting for you! โค๏ธย '
You sent it and then got up, putting your coat on, slipping your boots on and being sure to grab your purse that had your wallet in it. You left your apartment, locking up and started your way to the hardware store.ย 
You were a careful person when you crossed streets and always made sure to double check for any cars coming especially since the pregnancy, you couldnโ€™t risk anything. If only today had been like others.ย 
It all happened so fast, you started stepping on the road to cross to the other side when a car came zooming and before you or the driver could react, the car had hit you pretty badly, knocking you out almost immediately.
The driver instantly pulled his phone out calling 911 before checking on you. You were bleeding from your head and your white coat had blood stains mixed with road dirt.ย 
The paramedics arrived as fast as they could and took care of you. The police had also arrived and had escorted the driver away to deal with him once he was all cleared.
You however were in pretty rough shape and once the paramedics realized you were pregnant too, they knew they had to move faster to hopefully be able to save you and your baby.ย

Charlesโ€™ POV
That race had been so exhilarating. I had managed to get P2. Immediately I jumped into the teams arms once the car was parked and I was out of it.
As I got congratulated from everyone I smiled, thanking them and then made my way to the cooldown room. I spoke casually with Max and Fernando who were the other drivers on the podium.ย 
Eventually came time for the podium ceremony. I smiled at everyone down below and after the national anthem came time for the champagne showers. Once that was all done, I had some time to go back to my drivers room to freshen up a bit before some media interviews.ย 
I reached for my phone once I entered the room and a frown appeared on my face. There was only one text from you and it had been from before the race.
That was unusual seeing as you would usually spam text Charles and after his P2, you wouldโ€™ve already sent congratulations with an excessive amount of emojis.ย 
Suddenly I felt uneasy, not sure if I should give you a call to check in. Before I could pull up your contact to give you a quick call an unknown number was calling me. The area code was from the UK, the only person I knew from there who wouldโ€™ve been calling was you.ย 
I answered immediately โ€œHelloโ€ I said waiting for a response but instead was met with something that sounded alot like sniffles from crying โ€œHelloโ€ I said again a bit louderย 
โ€œOh sorry, is this Charles? Y/Nโ€™s boyfriendโ€ an unknown voice askedย 
โ€œYes. Who is this? Is she okay?โ€ I asked, the uneasy feeling never leaving meย 
โ€œThis is Janice Im a friend and a co worker of hers, she gave me your number after she found out about the baby incase anything happenedโ€ she started saying
โ€œI donโ€™t know how to tell you this but she was in a pretty bad accident, sheโ€™s in surgery right nowโ€ she finished telling me.
Suddenly I felt dizzy and off balance. I sat on the couch in my drivers room and took in her words โ€˜accidentโ€™ and โ€˜surgeryโ€™.ย 
โ€œCharles, are you still there?โ€ I heard Janice ask even though I was struggling to find my words. Then suddenly it hit me and I realized what was happening.ย 
โ€œYes Iโ€™m here. Iโ€™m getting on a flight as soon as I can. Please text me the detailsโ€ I told her before hanging up.ย 
The next few moments passed as a blur as I quickly dressed into proper clothes, not even caring where I through my race suit, someone could come in here after and tidy up. I grabbed my backpack and flew out the door. I needed to find Fred and then leave.ย 
I saw Fred luckily right when I rushed down the steps standing with Carlosย 
โ€œOoi mate where are you going in such a rushโ€ Carlos asked seeing how frazzled I mustโ€™ve looked
โ€œMy girlfriend she was in a bad accident, I need to get to the UKโ€ I rushed outย 
โ€œWait what happened to Y/Nโ€ he asked
โ€œIm not sure I just know sheโ€™s in surgery and I need to be there for them when she wakes upโ€ I explained then remembered no one knew about the pregnancy
โ€œWhat do you mean them?โ€ Fred askedย 
I sighed, the longer I stayed here the more stressed I became โ€œSheโ€™s pregnant. We were keeping it a secret until we were ready to tell people other than familyโ€ I said as Carlos and Fred both shared the same expression of shock and happiness but then remembered what had happened to Y/N.ย 
โ€œGo, itโ€™s fine, weโ€™ll come up with a reason why you had to leaveโ€ Fred said matter a factly โ€œGo to the airstrip. Iโ€™m gonna call ahead for a private jet, youโ€™ll get there quickerโ€ he said before stepping away, pulling his phone out to make the arrangements.ย 
I shared a look with Carlos before he nodded at me and I was out the doors. The lives of the two most important people in my life hung in the balance and I couldnโ€™t get to them any quicker if I tried.ย 
-
After a flight that I swore took a lifetime, I finally arrived at the hospital Janice had texted me the address of. I rushed in to the front deskย 
โ€œHi my girlfriend Y/N Y/L/N was brought in, she was in an accidentโ€ I told the nurse slightly out of breathย 
โ€œHold on let me checkโ€ she said typing away in her computer before bringing your file up โ€œIt looks like sheโ€™s in recovery. Youโ€™ll have to wait in the waiting room and the doctor will be with you in a moment to fill you inโ€ she explainedย 
โ€œSheโ€™s pregnant, is there anything on the baby?โ€ I asked my heart aching at the thought of possibly losing the baby. โ€œIm sorry sir, thereโ€™s nothingย on the baby yetโ€ she said sympathetically. I nodded and went to sit down.ย 
I hated hospitals. After loosing my father and Jules, they just made me feel very uneasy. I found it hard to sit still, every time I sat down my leg bounced to the point I had to get up and pace instead.
I just needed them both to be okay. I didnโ€™t want to imagine what life would be like without either of them.ย 
โ€œFamily for Y/N Y/L/Nโ€ I head a doctor ask, I quickly walked over โ€œThats me, Iโ€™m her boyfriend and the father of her babyโ€ I told him. I tried to gage the look in his eyes but he was hard to read which didnโ€™t help my uneasiness.ย 
โ€œYour girlfriend was hit pretty hard, she has a couple broken ribsโ€ he started explaining โ€œShe also hit her head which caused some bleeding in the brain but luckily we were able to stop the bleeding, unfortunately because of that though sheโ€™s currently in a coma. We have hope sheโ€™ll wake up, itโ€™s just hard to tell when thatโ€™ll beโ€ he finished as I took in all of his words.ย 
โ€œAnd the baby?โ€ I asked hearing my voice crackย 
โ€œAt this point itโ€™s hard to tell, Im sorryโ€ the surgeon said โ€œI can give you her room number though and you can go sit by her bed. Hopefully sheโ€™ll be awake soon and we can get an ultrasound done for the babyโ€ he told me as I nodded afraid to speak.ย 
Once I had her room number I took the elevator up and walked in when I reached the door. She was laying so peacefully, it almost looked like she was sleeping minus the monitors around her and the bandage wrapped around her head. I wanted to break down but I knew I needed to be strong for her and our child.ย 
I carefully sat down in the chair next to her bed, reaching for her hand, holding it gently and placing a delicate kiss on her bruised knuckles.ย 
โ€œOh mon amourโ€ I whispered โ€œI need you to wake up, not just for me but for our childโ€ I said still whispering slightly even if no one was around โ€œYouโ€™re my whole world, I cant lose you, either of youโ€ I said placing a hand on her bump.
-
There was no movement or any change for the first few hours, I was starting to lose hope so I went to the one place I thought might be able to help.
I quietly walked into the prayer room, taking a seat in one of the back isles. I wasnโ€™t an overly religious person which was why I wasnโ€™t here for God but rather someone else.ย 
โ€œJules, if you can hear me I need you to do me a favourโ€ I started closing my eyes โ€œPlease please pull some strings and do what you can up there to help her and our baby, I cant lose them tooโ€ I said as I felt a tear fall from my eye
โ€œAs much as I know youโ€™d take care of them up there, I donโ€™t want thatโ€ I continued opening my eyes and wiping the tears that started to fall โ€œJust please, you and Papa, I need you two to help us out down hereโ€ I finished before getting up and walking back to her hospital room.ย 
-
Y/Nโ€™s POVย 
Everything hurt. I felt this weight on me but I couldnโ€™t figure out if it was really there or if my body just felt heavy. I used every bit of strength I had to try and open my eyes which wasnโ€™t easy, especially with this weight on me.
Eventually the light started to shine through and after a couple blinks my eyes focused on a white ceiling.ย I couldnโ€™t move my head too much but I was able to take a glance around me, I was in a hospital.
I thought back to the last thing I remembered and suddenly it all came rushing back, where I was going, starting to cross the street, the impact of the car, then after that it goes dark.ย 
I noticed a head on my lap, confused at first but then soon realized it belonged to my boyfriend. He mustโ€™ve been sleeping. More of the day came back to me; texting him before the race, not being able to watch it.
My throat was extremely raw but between my slight movement and struggling to take a few breaths I was able to muster out his name which got his attention immediately.ย 
โ€œOh my love youre awakeโ€ he said, I saw tears forming in his eyes โ€œWait here drink some water, the doctor said it might hurt to talk at firstโ€ he said as he leaned over grabbing a cup from the bedside table, helping me drink the water. It helped with the raw feeling.ย 
โ€œThank youโ€ I said softly โ€œWhat happened?โ€ I asked even though I remembered some of what had actually happened.
โ€œYou were in an accident. Someone hit you with their car, the paramedics said your head was bleeding when they arrived on scene and it caused a bleed in your brain but the surgeons were able to stop itโ€ he started explaining what happened after it went dark.
โ€œYou also have a couple broken ribs but theyโ€™ll heal with timeโ€ he finished stroking my face
โ€œI was so scared when I got the call. I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever moved so fast to get out of the paddock beforeโ€ he told me softly. I could tell he was barely holding it together.ย 
โ€œIm okay. Im hereโ€ I reassured him taking his hand squeezing it so he knew this was real, he nodded.ย 
โ€œWhat about the baby? Is the baby okay?โ€ I asked suddenly as I glanced at my bumpย 
โ€œThey havenโ€™t been able to do an ultrasound without you awake but they arenโ€™t sure, they said we should be prepared for the worstโ€ he told me sadly. I sighed, there was no way this could be happening. Before we could say anything more to each other, my surgeon came inย 
โ€œOh Miss Y/L/N, itโ€™s lovely to see you awakeโ€ he smiled at me, I did my best to smile back, he had saved my life after all.
โ€œIm assuming your boyfriend told you everything I passed along to him so I wont bore you with the details againโ€ he continued โ€œI will say your broken ribs should take about 6 weeks to heal and youโ€™ll have to come back for weekly checkups for your head until we can be sure it hasnโ€™t started bleeding againโ€ he went through his doctor notes.ย 
I nodded along with him โ€œAnd one last thing, Iโ€™ve called the on call obstetrcian to come and do an ultrasound to see the status of your baby. She should be here any minute and once sheโ€™s done, depending on what she finds we may have to take follow up steps but we wont go down that road now. Iโ€™ll send a nurse in after the ultrasounds done to check on your vitals and then we can talk about dischargeโ€ he finished. I thanked him before he left.ย 
โ€œMon amour are you okay? Thats a lot to take inโ€ Charles asked gently holding my hand
โ€œYeah yeah Iโ€™m okay, I just donโ€™t know what weโ€™ll do if we lost the babyโ€ I shared with him using my other hand to rest on my bumpย 
โ€œWeโ€™ll figure it out togetherโ€ he told me leaning over and leaving a kiss on my forehead.ย 
-
After a few minutes passed, another doctor came in
โ€œHi Iโ€™m Doctor Smithโ€ she introduced herself as she wheeled in an ultrasound machine with her โ€œLets see whatโ€™s going on with your little oneโ€ she said trying to be optimistic although everyone knew the results may not be good.ย 
I carefully lifted my gown up to reveal my stomach where she squeezed the ultrasound gel on then used the wand to move it around, turning the machine on.
Charles held my hand, not sure if he realized how tightly he was holding it but it didnโ€™t matter I was squeezing his hand just as tightly.ย 
The room was silent while Dr. Smith continued to move the wand around starting to get a bit nervous until suddenly the silence was filled with a heartbeat.
At first we didnโ€™t know if we had heard it correctly but then she moved the wand slightly over and the heartbeat became louder and clearer. I let out a breath I didn't even realize I was holding in and felt the tears falling.ย 
When I turned to Charles he was also crying. I did my best to pull him closely to hug him, he wrapped his arm around me kissing my head. โ€œTheyโ€™re okay. Theyโ€™re okayโ€ he said as I nodded against him.ย 
โ€œYou have a very strong and healthy little boy here, I donโ€™t see anything to be concerned aboutโ€ Dr. Smith told usย 
We pulled away from each other and looked at her โ€œDid you say boy?โ€ I asked. She suddenly became aware of what she had said
โ€œOh im sorry did you not want to know?โ€ she asked, I shook my head,
โ€œNo no itโ€™s okay, we just hadnโ€™t gotten around to finding out yetโ€ I explained as happy tears continued to fall.
She smiled at me โ€œIโ€™ll give you a moment and then Iโ€™ll be back with your surgeonโ€ she told us as she used a cloth to wipe the gel off my stomach and then left the room, leaving the ultrasound machine in the corner.ย 
โ€œCharles weโ€™re having a boyโ€ I said to him seeing he was in shock โ€œAre you okay?โ€ I asked worried since he hadnt said anythingย 
โ€œOh yeah iโ€™m okay mon amour, Iโ€™m just taking everything in, I was so worried we had lost himโ€ he told meย 
โ€œCome hereโ€ I said carefully moving over remembering about the broken ribs โ€œNo mon amour you shouldnโ€™t moveโ€ he quickly saidย 
โ€œCharles please come sit with meโ€ I asked him, he saw the look in my eyes and knew there was no point in arguing so he carefully got up and sat next to me on the bed, being mindful of my broken ribs and the wires.ย 
I looked at him โ€œWeโ€™re all okay, me you and our little boyโ€ I reassured him placing his hand on my bump, he nodded.ย 
โ€œI love you so muchโ€ he told me kissing my head again
โ€œWe love you just as muchโ€ I said back to him closing my eyes and enjoying being in his arms, knowing our baby was okay and eventually Iโ€™d be okay too.ย 
"Oh wait how did the race go?" I asked suddenly remembering, opening my eyes and looking at him
He chuckled slightly "I got P2" he told me a small smile appearing on his face. I gave him a similar smile back and kissed his cheek carefully
"Another thing to be happy about, congrats baby" I told him putting my head back on his shoulder as he entertained our hands together and kissed the top of my head.
There may have been some obstacles thrown our way and more to come but together we could face anything.

โ€œY/N, listenโ€“โ€œ
โ€œNo, Charles, Iโ€™m done.โ€ You brushed past him with your duffel bag that you had prepared days before because you knew he would still keep on denying everything.
โ€œWhat do you mean youโ€™re done? Y/N, please listen to me.โ€
โ€œLetโ€™s go, baby.โ€ Taking your baby girlโ€™s hand, you pulled her up to her feet as she threw her toys on the floor.
โ€œWhere are you going? Y/N, you canโ€™t do this to me.
โ€œIโ€™m going home. Iโ€™m not coming back until you set your priority straight.โ€ You took little steps while your daughter trailed after you, constantly checking back, wondering why her daddy is not coming along.
โ€œI told you sheโ€™s a new physiotherapist ! Please, donโ€™t do this.โ€
โ€œPhysiotherapist wonโ€™t be in your room all cuddled up like that! You think Iโ€™m a fool?โ€ You wiped your tears with the back of your hand, eyes still looking at your husband in disbelief as you felt every trust you had for him far gone.
โ€œI donโ€™t know what the news said but those didnโ€™t happen, babyโ€“โ€œ
โ€œDonโ€™t call me that.โ€
He breathed in, hand on his forehead as he squeezed his eyes shut and took a step back. โ€œY/N, none of the things happened. Yes, she was in my room but nothing happened. You need to trust me!โ€
โ€œDada not come?โ€ Your daughter asked as she stood up after you put on her shoes. Her little hand goes back into yours.
โ€œDadaโ€™s not coming, sweetheart. Dada has work.โ€ You tugged on her little hands and turned around to leave but she refused to follow, pulling you back the the little force she had.
โ€œBut I want dada.โ€ She yanked her hand from your grip and ran back to hug Charlesโ€™s legs. โ€œDada follow?โ€
Charles then crouched down and gave his little girl a kiss on her forehead. โ€œDada canโ€™t come, princess. Take care of mommy for dada, alright?โ€ His arm went around her little frame when the circled her arms around his neck, hugging him.
โ€œSee you later, dada!โ€
โ€œY/N.โ€ The soft tone of his voice nearly knocked down the wall that you were trying to build in your heart. When you turned around, you saw he took few steps closer to plant a kiss on your forehead, mumbling the words โ€œI love youโ€ as he pulled away. Both you and Charles had made a promise on the early stage of your dating life that both of you would never go a day without an I love you because tomorrow wasnโ€™t confirmed, regardless of how bad the arguments would be. โ€œAnd Iโ€™m sorryโ€ฆโ€
You didnโ€™t look at him when you pulled away to make your way to your car. You didnโ€™t want to ignore the words, but you also didnโ€™t want to say it back so you just mumbled the words back under your breath. Your little girl had her half body turned sideways jusy so she could kept on waving to her dad, unconcerned with the problems going on.
If it wasnโ€™t for the constant tagging, you would have been left in the dark. Checking your social media had always been apart of your wind down activity but you werenโ€™t expecting to have over 100+ notifications one night, people tagging you on a screenshot of news article about your husband exposed to be having a short โ€œintimate breakโ€ with a new woman. The articles were supported heavily with a blurry picture of your husband and the woman walking out of the driverโ€™s room after which was what they assumed as a quickie before the race in Hungary. People started making fun of your marriage, saying that you tricked Charles into one by getting pregnant on purpose or you got pregnant as soon after the wedding because you wanted to secure the bag and some of them even assume Charles was forced to stay in the marriage not because of love but because of the child and his image.

Though you had been living separately for nearly a month, Charles would always came by. Sometimes it would a short 5 minutes where he just dropped by to give his little daughter a new toy or just a short cuddling session. You felt guilty of course, because your daughter had always been daddyโ€™s girl but you couldnโ€™t be in the same house with him without thinking about the pictures so you had to continuously tell her that Charles was busy with his fast car.
โ€œDonโ€™t go!โ€ Your daughter cried out and tugged on her dadโ€™s hand, dragging him back into the living room. โ€œDada canโ€™t go!โ€
โ€œI need to go, princess.โ€ He drew his lips back, squatting down to level his face with hers. โ€œWe spent half a day together, didnโ€™t we?โ€ His arm was stretched out again as she kept on trying to pull him back.
โ€œCan dada stay?โ€
He looked up and caught your eyes on him with your arms folded. โ€œIโ€™m not sure mommy wants that. Why donโ€™t you go and ask mommy?โ€
โ€œCan dada stay tonight, mommy? Please please!โ€ She ran to hug your legs and pulled on your shirt to get your attention.
โ€œSleep on the couch. Iโ€™ll get a blanket for you.โ€ You left those two together shrieking with laughters and came back with blanket to find both of them cuddling on the couch. โ€œAre you gonna sleep with dada on the couch tonight?โ€
โ€œYes! Mommy too?โ€ She scooted aside and pat on the empty space. โ€œMommy too!โ€
โ€œMommy will sleep in the room, okay?โ€ You bended down to peck on her forehead and looked at Charles who has been staring at you. โ€œMake sure she sleeps by 9.โ€
โ€œThank you.โ€ He took your hand and you snatched it back before matching to your room.

โ€œBaby, what are you doing with my phone?โ€
You had just done putting on your skincare and walked out of the bathroom to see your little girl looking sullen as she was holding your phone. โ€œNo answer?โ€ She raised the phone up as it shook a little from the unbalanced weight between the phone and her little grip.
โ€œAnswer? Who are you calling?โ€
โ€œY/N, is thereโ€“โ€œ
โ€œHi dada!โ€
โ€œoh, hi, princess!โ€
You froze when you heard Charlesโ€™s voice. When did she even learn how to call someone or more specifically, her own dad.
โ€œDada! Hello!โ€
โ€œHi, I miss you so much.โ€
Your daughter squealed and clapped her hands, bringing the phone that was larger than her hand closer to her mouth. โ€œMiss you too!โ€
โ€œWhereโ€™s mommy? Is mommy okay?โ€
Your lips were pressed into a thin line. Sure, you can still acted all fine in front of your daughter but that doesnโ€™t mean you could play pretend with your feelings. I miss you, Charles.
โ€œMommy is okay. Mommy was putting cream on face.โ€
โ€œOh, yeah? Mommy always takes a long time in front of the mirror, right princess?โ€
โ€œYeah, very long time! Mommy always goes dab dab.โ€
You heard him chuckle and continued the conversations until he had to end the call. โ€œPrincess, dada has to go. Listen to mommy and be a good girl. Iโ€™ll see you soon, okay?โ€
โ€œBye, dada! I love you.โ€
โ€œBye, princess. Tell mommy I said I love you.โ€
She stood up and ran to you, handing you back the phone with the brightest smile, which had everything to do with the little time with her dad.
โ€œDada said I love you mommy!โ€
โ€œI love you too.โ€ She giggled in your arms as you poked on her waist. โ€œWho taught you how to call dada, hm?โ€
๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ
You were sitting at the living room, leaving Charles and your daughter having their own time. Faint giggles and maffles could be heard filling the silence.
โ€œGirl secured the bag but still got cheated on.โ€
โ€œProof that a child is not enough to make a man loyal. Good try, girl.โ€
Though it had been more than a month since what happened, your social media was still full of unpleasant comments. Your life had been in a downward spiral, even more when Ferrariโ€™s official account had posted a few photos from the weekend and you saw the woman who was in the picture with Charles months ago in the background of the photos. The comments were quick to jump into their own assumptions and speculations, making you felt more oppressed within every minute you spent on your phone.
โ€œWhereโ€™s she?โ€ You asked when you saw Charles in the living room, no longer hearing her squeals and laughters. Your phone was no longer in your hand as you turned it off. Charles had took a seat on the couch, afar from you since you kept on shutting him out so he just knew you wouldnโ€™t want him close to you this time as well.
โ€œSheโ€™s asleep.โ€ He grabbed your hand as you were walking trying to walk pass him to get yourself a drink. โ€œBabโ€“ Y/N, can we talk?โ€
โ€œThereโ€™s nothing to talk about, Charles.โ€
โ€œYou canโ€™t keep on doing this.โ€ He was now standing only a step away. โ€œI miss you. I donโ€™t want to come home to an empty house. Please, tell me what you want me to do.โ€ His fingers softly traced your cheek, making your heart beat faster, yearning for more of his touch. โ€œIโ€™ll fix the mess. Iโ€™ll speak up about this, let the news clear out my name, your name. I need you, Y/N, please.โ€
You wanted to give in. You were so close to give into his wishes, his plead but you couldnโ€™t. Never once in your life would you imagine yourself to be in a situation where your husband got tangled up with another woman that people started making fun of your innocent child.
โ€œYou need to leave.โ€ You paced back, feeling his touch leaving an imprint on your skin.
โ€œY/N,โ€
โ€œLeave, please. Iโ€™m not doing this tonight.โ€

The scream of your daughter took up the house as she saw Charles walked through the door. You had told Charles you wanted to do a small birthday for her and he had set everything up that you didnโ€™t have to lift a finger. A day before a group of people came by to start putting on balloons and ribbons in your house. The food and drinks started ti arrive a few hours ago so you were only left with a few task when you had to dress her up and prepare a few starter and dessert. The guests were not a lot. You had invited your friends, their kids, family members and of course, Charles.
โ€œHey, princess! Happy birthday!โ€
Charles immediately picked her up and attacked her chubby cheeks with kisses, causing her to squirm while giggling. โ€œYou are so pretty, princess. Did you wear mommyโ€™s lipstick?โ€ He laughed and wiped the smudge at the ends of her lips.
โ€œI stole mommyโ€™s lipstick!โ€
โ€œKnew it! You should have asked mommy to help put it on you. Whereโ€™s mommy?โ€ She had ran to join her friends back to the small backyard garden, leaving Charlesโ€™s question left unanswered as he ambled to the kitchen to see you were preparing a cheese board for the guests.
โ€œDo you need help?
โ€œOh, yeah. Can you help me open the pack of crackers and just plate it nicely on this serving board? You handed him the board to which he took it and started opening crackers that you had placed on the kitchen counter while you went back to cutting the cheese.
Both of you were doing things in silence so you didnโ€™t bother to check up on him as you only asked his help for the simplest task ever. One that even your daughter could do.
You had realised it wasnโ€™t as simple as you thought it was when you looked at the board which was supposed to be filled with crackers, were only filled with a few ones while the rest went into his mouth.
โ€œCharles!โ€ Charlesโ€™s hand stop moving as he looked at you. โ€œI asked you to put them on the board, not eat them!โ€
โ€œItโ€™s addictive. Give it a try.โ€ He offered you one and you took it, chuckling as you chew. โ€œRight? I told you! Itโ€™s tasteless but itโ€™s good. Do you want more?โ€
He moved closer to put the cracker to your mouth when you declined, making you laugh as you tried to move your face away. โ€œItโ€™s not that good. I donโ€™t want it!โ€
He cackled along, arm finding its way on your waist as he pulled you close. โ€œGod, I missed you so much.โ€
โ€œHello?โ€
โ€œYeahโ€“โ€ The smile on your face ceased as your eyes landed on the owner of the voice, the same woman who was caught in a gossip with the guy standing in front of you. โ€œOh, hi.โ€
โ€œY/N, this is Leah. Sheโ€™sโ€“โ€œ Charles tried to grab your arm as you tried to walk out of the kitchen. โ€œBaby, waitโ€“โ€œ
โ€œI need to check on my daughter.โ€
๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ
โ€œIsnโ€™t that the girl that was in the picture? Did you invite her?โ€
The drink in your hand tasted somewhat bitter. โ€œNo, she came with Charles.โ€ You replied, eyes locked on your daughter as she played with her dad and Leah in the backyard.
โ€œIs he trying to introduce you to his new girlfriend?โ€
โ€œI donโ€™t know.โ€ You stretched out your arms as your little girl came running to you. โ€œDid you have fun with dada?โ€
โ€œYes! Can mommy play too?โ€ She jumped and tugged on your finger to get you off the couch. โ€œPlease please!โ€
โ€œAlright, alright. Iโ€™m coming.โ€ You patted her head, giving your friends a glance as you trailed after her to the backyard where Charles was on the grass, joining by your daughter after.
โ€œDada, let mommy be the tagged!โ€
โ€œYou asked me to join you only for you to gang up with dada? Come here!โ€ You gasped dramatically and chased after her while she waddled to the end of the backyard. โ€œOh, tag.โ€ Charles had just stood on his feet and stopped by your side as he saw you focusing on the little girl when you tapped on his arm.
โ€œOh, come on! Really? I thought you were chasing after her.โ€ Charles groaned. He barely had a 5 minutes break and thought you were chasing after the little one instead of him, which was why he wasnโ€™t running away.
โ€œI canโ€™t catch her!โ€
โ€œOkay, then Iโ€™ll just tag you back.โ€ He poked on your cheek, laughing when you clicked on your tongue, thing that you always do when you get annoyed.
โ€œCharles, can I borrow you for a second?โ€
โ€œYeah, Iโ€™ll be right back.โ€ He left your side when Leah called out for him, both of them seemed to be engrossed in a discussion. Leaving you alone while your daughter had found her way back into her group of friends. You saw your friendsโ€™ sympathetic eyes on you as they called you out to join them back.
You felt pathetic.
๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ๏นŽ
For the rest of the birthday party, you tried to ignore Charles and his partner though you could feel his eyes on you the whole time. Every time you caught a glance of both of them, exchanging conversations and smiles while she kept on showing something on her phone, tears would welled up in your eyes and you couldnโ€™t cry, not today. Today isnโ€™t about you.
โ€œBaby, can you please stop ignoring me?โ€
You bumped into Charles as you tried to head to to kitchen and he had gripped on your arm, forcing you to stay as you were trying to get away from Charles again when the front door opened as you saw a man with 2 kids around your daughterโ€™s age walked in with a birthday present nicely wrapped in his hand.
โ€œHappy birthday!โ€ The kids shrieked and handed the birthday present to your daughter as they ran to join the kids outside.
โ€œThere you are! What took you so long?โ€ Leah exclaimed as she pulled the man into a hug. โ€œY/N, this is my husband and my kids. I hope you donโ€™t mind three extra guests?โ€
โ€œNo, not at all.โ€ A soft smiled creeped in as a mask to hide your true feelings before you made your way into your room with Charles chasing after you.
You felt so dumb. First you had to see your husbandโ€™s new โ€œgirlfriendโ€ then having to constantly see your husband played with your kid while his new girl a step away as she laughed and smiled along, one when your husband left your side in a blink the second Leah called out for him, only to find out that all of that was just an act and that she actually had a husband and kids. You felt your throat tighten up as you breathed in a short intake. โ€œDid you try to make me look like a fool because you aced it.โ€
โ€œNo, thatโ€™sโ€“ no, not at all. Y/Nโ€“โ€œ
โ€œI feel so woeful and pathetic. If thisโ€“ if this is your payback because I took your daughter away, Iโ€™m sorry.โ€ You sobbed into the palm of your hands.
โ€œBaby, no. No, thatโ€“ thatโ€™s not it. You got the wrong idea. I brought her along because I had a scheduled medical checkup and she had to tag along. I thought she could be the one to explain to you what actually happened since you refused to listen to my explanation.โ€ Your trembling hand in now in his while he cupped his free hand on your left cheek, thumb wiped off the fresh tears that rolled down you cheeks. It had been a week since the last time he touched you, month since he hugged you and there was a hole in his heart from your absence. You didnโ€™t reject him, not this time so he continued. โ€œYes, she was in the room with me but I was asleep and she was looking for my stuff. Something that she wanted to borrow. We didnโ€™t cuddle or do anything at all. Not like how the news portrayed. She came in with Joris because he had the access to my room but they didnโ€™t catch that moment so it just seemed like there was only both of us.โ€
Your tongue was tied, your head was in a shamble. You didnโ€™t know know what to do, what to react, what to respond. If what he was saying was true, then why did he seemed so close with her. Why would he go to his daughterโ€™s birthday party with her. Why would he left you just because she called out for him.
โ€œYou know how much I love you, Y/N. I would never do anything that would break your trust on me. I was asleep. I would have asked Joris to not allow her inside my room if I was awake. I didnโ€™t know there were pictures taken.โ€
โ€œI donโ€™t know, Charles. Iโ€™m justโ€“ โ€œ You tilted you head away as you felt your throat closing up. โ€œEverything I saw earlier didnโ€™t make it seemed as if nothing happened between you guys.โ€
โ€œWhat did you see?โ€ He leaned in, tugging on your hand in his just so you would look back at him. โ€œTell me, baby, what did you see?โ€
โ€œYou came to the birthday party with her looking like a happy couple as if you tried to shove that in my face.โ€
โ€œWe didnโ€™t. We didnโ€™t come together, Y/N. She drove her own car but we came from the same place, remember? Her husband wanted to buy a last minute birthday gift, just before they came here so she had to ask for my opinion since they didnโ€™t know what they should give.โ€ You felt his thumb kept on stroking the back of your hand, he wanted to pull you in his embrace but he couldnโ€™t afford getting rejected again. He didnโ€™t know if you wanted him to touch you but grateful enough that you didnโ€™t retract your hand away so he wouldnโ€™t ask for more if your werenโ€™t comfortable just yet.
โ€œI am such a foolโ€ฆโ€ Your voice trailed off with tears streaming down your face.
โ€œNo, you are not a fool. You needed reassurance which I failed to give.โ€ Charles then surrendered to his own wish and eventually engulfed you in his arms. โ€œIs this okay? Can I hug you?โ€ He didnโ€™t get your response but he felt your arms on his back, returning the hug.
โ€œIโ€™m sorryโ€ฆโ€ You tilted your head to look at him with swollen eyes.
โ€œWe are both at fault here.โ€ He drew in his arms tighter around your frame. โ€œWill you come back to me? Come back home?โ€
โ€œDo you still want me back?โ€
โ€œI will always want you back, baby. Always.โ€ He pulled away and pecked on your cheek, chuckling when you started having hiccups from crying too much.
โ€œDada?โ€
He pulled away and turned to look at his little girl walked in with a lollipop in her hand. You stayed behind Charles so you could pat your eyes dry before she noticed.
โ€œIs mommy okay?โ€ She slanted her body to peek on you as Charles continued to cover you with his back.
โ€œMommyโ€™s fine, princess. Mommyโ€™s eyes just hurt a little.โ€
โ€œGive mommy this!โ€ She offered Charles her lollipop, making both of you laughed.
โ€œCharles took the lollipop and extended it to you. โ€œWould you like a lollipop, baby?โ€

summary: Five years ago, you left your hometown and ex to recreate your identity in California. Now, you're a staple of the fashion industry and on the front cover of magazines everywhere. Your hard work has paid off, but when you realize that you might be pregnant, you have to decide whether you want to be a full-time model or a full-time mother.
word count: 23k
a/n: at last, here she is! thank you for your patience, i know it was a long wait. this is a sequel to love jones. as always, feedback is appreciated!
Smiling from ear to ear, the giddy butterflies in the pit of your stomach just wouldnโ€™t leave. Given that theyโ€™d been there for five years, it was safe to assume they never would.ย 
Five years of romance. To celebrate, you and your boyfriend decided on cooking your own dinner at home. Your boyfriend was not a qualified cook (a couple of incidents and he was strictly prohibited and sidelined from food preparation duties) which made the night both fun and a nightmare.ย 
When Haechan asked you for dinner suggestions, you were very adamant that you wanted lobster. Which surprised him, given that youโ€™d been to a handful of seafood restaurants and you never expressed a taste for lobster, though he reckoned you wanted to be fancy for your five-year anniversary.ย 
โ€œBaby,โ€ you whined. โ€œIs it just me, or is it really hot in here?โ€
โ€œItโ€™s hot because youโ€™re here,โ€ Haechan flirted in a heartbeat. Some things never changed.ย 
You rolled your eyes, whining, โ€œSeriously. Arenโ€™t you about to burn up? I feel like Iโ€™m going to die.โ€
โ€œOnly thing I feel like I might die of is hypothermia. If anything, itโ€™s kinda cold to me, baby.โ€
You frowned, finding that questionably odd. You had already taken off his insulating leather jacket, left in nothing but a tank top, and you didnโ€™t want to remove any other layers in fear of getting lobster juice all over yourself. Maybe it was a metabolism thing.ย 
Haechan pointed to your wine glass with his own. โ€œArenโ€™t you going to drink that? You always want wine.โ€
Glancing down, you noticed your filled wine glass that you had hardly touched. Even when you were out celebrating with your agent and a couple of other staff, you declined the offer for wine. Your agent was shocked. She knew you loved to get wine drunk. โ€œNot really in the mood.โ€
If your boyfriend thought that something was out of the ordinary, he didnโ€™t say anything.ย 
After a while, you started to forget about your suspicious behavior. Time quickly lost its meaning as you chatted with Haechan, running your mouths like the two people who never shut up that you were. To this day you still perfectly matched each otherโ€™s energy. Five years down, a lifetime left to go.ย 
You were twenty-six now, Haechan twenty-eight. Though your grandmother liked to joke that you were catching up to her, sometimes you didnโ€™t feel like you were pushing thirty. Notably when you were with Haechan. His ability to make you feel like a teenager in love needed to be studied.ย ย 
In those five years, not only had you developed your relationship with the love of your life, but you also made your name known within the industry. Of course, your success wasnโ€™t without a couple of setbacks and near career-ending allegations, but you somehow came out on top in the end.ย 
Haechan also had a lucrative career. From being hired to take pictures of lowkey performers on tour to becoming a chief photographer with his own studio that worked with wealthy media moguls, he had obviously come extremely far. And he was only getting more popular amongst affluent patrons.ย 
All in the span of five years. You never would have guessed. Five years ago, you lived in a condo downtown. Now, you lived in a comfortable house with Haechan and you couldnโ€™t be happier.ย 
Out of nowhere, you started to feel as if you were going to be sick. You stood from the table, muttering โ€œbathroomโ€ when your boyfriend tossed you a baffled look.ย 
Haechan let you be. He figured you just had to pee. You were doing that more often for whatever reason.ย 
Though you tried to be indifferent about the sudden involuntary motions in your stomach, you were quick to make a beeline for the bathroom in fear of vomiting all over the floor.ย 
You headed straight for the toilet and kneeled on the floor, bracing your hands on the seat while you retched and dry-heaved into the bowl. Your mouth felt almost painfully dry afterwards and all you could taste was the scorching feeling of bile.ย 
This was absolutely ridiculous and you didnโ€™t understand what was happening to you. Though you werenโ€™t particularly a fan of lobster, you could usually handle seafood. Maybe having Haechan help you cook wasnโ€™t the smartest idea.ย 
Speak of the devil, he called from the other side of the door, โ€œBaby, you good in there?โ€
โ€œUh, no,โ€ you muttered just loud enough for his ears.ย 
Haechanโ€™s voice sounded alarmed. โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong?โ€
Wincing at the sight of greenish-yellow vomit, you flushed the toilet and stood to vigorously wash your hands. โ€œI kinda threw up.โ€
โ€œWhat? Was it something you ate? Baby, I love your cooking, but Iโ€™ve been trying to tell you that all that butter is not good for your stomach.โ€
โ€œI really donโ€™t think thatโ€™s the problem,โ€ you droned irritably.ย 
Haechan joked, โ€œWhat - are you pregnant or something?โ€
Something about those words made you freeze right in the middle of drying your hands with paper towels. Pregnant, you realized. It was all coming back to you. Haechan fucked you raw not too long ago. And you couldnโ€™t remember the last time you had a period.ย 
Silence was never a good thing for either of you and the worry was evident in Haechanโ€™s voice. โ€œBaby, youโ€™re not actually pregnant. Right?โ€
Your eyes were wide as you exclaimed, โ€œI donโ€™t know!โ€
โ€œCan I come in?โ€
โ€œYeah,โ€ you said shakily.ย 
The door opened, Haechan revealing himself. He was quick to notice the panic on your face and grabbed your hand in his, crooning, โ€œBaby, talk to me. Whatโ€™s going on?โ€
You inhaled a deep breath through your nose, exhaling one large puff of air. โ€œOkay, remember I had my IUD removed?โ€
Haechanโ€™s brows furrowed. โ€œUh huh.โ€
โ€œAnd then I went off the pill because they were giving me migraines,โ€ you added frantically.ย 
โ€œYeah, so we started using condoms.โ€
โ€œRight,โ€ you said, nodding your head. โ€œBut that one time we ran outโ€ฆโ€
Haechan continued, โ€œAnd you begged me to fuck you anyway?โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s not the point,โ€ you hissed. โ€œThe point is we had sex without a condom, I donโ€™t remember having a period, and now Iโ€™m puking everywhere.โ€
โ€œWell, if two plus two equals fourโ€ฆ,โ€ Haechan trailed.ย 
You snapped, โ€œCan you be serious for once?โ€
Haechan grabbed your wrist, kissing the back of your hand tenderly to console you. โ€œI am being serious. I think we should buy a pregnancy test or ten. Just to be certain.โ€
You reminded, โ€œItโ€™s late. All the pharmacies are closed.โ€
โ€œThen, we go first thing tomorrow,โ€ was Haechanโ€™s solution.ย 
His touches were enough to ease your mind for a little. You nodded in acceptance, taking a deep breath and closing your eyes. This was a frightening moment and you were glad that you werenโ€™t alone.ย 
As soon as the following day, you and Haechan were on your way to a local pharmacy on his motorbike. His red motorbike, might you add. Though the sleek black one was directly involved in a number of good memories, one too many stunts had maimed her. You surprised him with another one for his birthday last year and he fell in love without a second thought.ย 
The pharmacy was busy at this hour. Though Haechanโ€™s suggestion of getting ten pregnancy tests was somewhat dramatic, you did make sure to grab a couple packs of two. It was better to be safe than sorry, after all.ย 
You rushed to the bathroom the second you were back home, telling Haechan you would be back after a moment to tell him the results. You were clear that he waited outside the door. Your brain amassed hectic thought after hectic thought and it was driving you crazy.ย 
Over the next couple of minutes, you sat antsily on the toilet lid and waited. According to the instructions on the box, your fate would be decided in as little as a few minutes. If you waited too long, your results could display inaccuracies.ย 
You were just so scared. If you were pregnant, that could change everything. Your nerves were worked and you could feel the stress in your shoulders as much as you tried to feign a semblance of order.ย 
When the three minutes were up, you braced yourself with one big breath and found the courage to check the lines.ย 
You sucked in a breath. Not a single one was negative.ย 
โ€œOh my god,โ€ you gasped.ย 
โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong?โ€ Haechan asked frantically, leaning against the door. This was just as nerve-racking for him as it was for you.ย 
โ€œTheyโ€™re positive,โ€ you exclaimed. โ€œAll four of them!โ€
That was Haechanโ€™s cue to open the door, immediately grabbing a hold of you. You looked like your weight would drop to the floor any second now. โ€œOkay, babe. Breathe,โ€ he whispered.ย 
You braced your hands on the counter. โ€œI canโ€™t. This is too much.โ€
โ€œSit,โ€ Haechan said, holding you steadily in his arms. Like hell he would let you go in a time like this.ย 
You sat on the fluffy toilet lid again, your head spinning. Nothing could describe how light your limbs felt in that moment. Or your head.ย 
โ€œThereโ€™s a one percent chance theyโ€™re wrong,โ€ Haechan told you in reminder.ย 
You shook your head. โ€œReally? You think all four of them are wrong?โ€
Haechan took your tone in stride. โ€œThatโ€™s not what I said. What I meant is I think you should contact your doctor. We canโ€™t be too sure.โ€
Well, you couldnโ€™t argue with that logic. It was the obvious thing to do. The second you calmed down enough to speak without shaky breath you called your health care provider and scheduled an appointment with your physician.ย 
In a couple of days, you met with your primary physician, Haechan insisting that he wanted to be there. You made no argument. This baby was his just as much as it was yours and he made it a point to remind you that he wanted to be a part of every second.ย 
For half an hour, the nurse's kind words in between constant beeps as she asked you for medical information was all you heard while your thoughts waged war. Even the faint chatter from the small TV mounted in the corner of the room didnโ€™t register.ย 
Footsteps jolted you out of your thoughts for a moment and you were a little more at ease when your doctor finally entered the patient room. There was a fleeting, kind greeting and she recounted your concerns as youโ€™d briefed them over the phone just to be sure she was correct.ย 
It was the most tense moment of your life. Had you not been holding Haechanโ€™s fingers with one hand and bracing the chair with the other, you would have been chewing your nails.ย 
After a couple of non-invasive tests, a suspenseful few minutes, and a transvaginal prenatal ultrasound, it was concluded that you were seven weeks pregnant. The whole room was reeling. Your doctor told you that she would have to run a few scans to ensure that you werenโ€™t exposed to a high-risk pregnancy, but you could decide within two weeks if you wanted to terminate through medication.ย 
Not only were you seven weeks pregnant, but seven weeks pregnant with dizygotic twins. Non-identical, your doctor explained. If you preferred, you could come back in three weeks to determine the sex.ย 
โ€œTwins,โ€ you rasped. โ€œTwo babies. Wow.โ€
Sitting in your car, you gripped the seatbelt with your life. Haechan insisted that you take your car instead of his bike considering that you were more than likely pregnant, and since he didnโ€™t know the risks associated with pregnant mothers on a motorbike, he decided it was better to play it safe.ย 
Though your doctor revealed that minimum travel within the first few months of your pregnancy was generally not a threat unless you were going a lengthy distance. Much to your boyfriendโ€™s happiness.ย ย 
It was quiet while you two sat in the parking lot, save for the Mark Lee song playing faintly on the radio. He was grammy-nominated now.ย 
There was a long pause before you could speak. Haechan was the same, looking paler than usual. You almost couldnโ€™t breathe. Your head was still stuck in that neutral-toned hospital room and the scent of antiseptics still wafted through your nostrils.ย 
The whole parking lot was upside down as you fretted, โ€œIโ€™m pregnant. Oh my god. Wow. Iโ€™m pregnant!โ€
โ€œHey,โ€ Haechan started, reaching over the center console and grabbing your hands in his. There was another pause before he continued speaking. โ€œWeโ€™re pregnant.โ€
Your eyes flickered. Then, you burst into laughter. That was the last thing you expected him to say.ย 
Haechan was grinning, glad that he could make you laugh even if it was just for a moment. Your doctor was clear that stress was very harmful for the kids. โ€œIโ€™m serious!โ€
โ€œOkay,โ€ you replied. Though you were still giggling. โ€œWeโ€™re pregnant.โ€
โ€œYou better know.โ€
You sighed, leaning against the door window. The ultrasound displayed not one, but two tiny embryos currently sharing your uterus. And they were only growing.ย 
Handing the ultrasound to Haechan, you let it all sink in, starting, โ€œWhen I was twenty-one, pregnancy was the last thing on my agenda. Jae wanted to slow down, but I didnโ€™t want to stop. I was just getting started. I mean, I still am, itโ€™s only been five years.โ€
Haechan flinched at the mention of your ex. It was rare that you brought him up in conversation. For good reason. โ€œAnd youโ€™ve still accomplished so much.โ€
โ€œYeah, but I wanna accomplish more. If I have a baby, I have to take a break from the grind to be a mother. And god forbid I let somebody else raise my kids,โ€ you grumbled.ย 
Haechan quickly saw what the problem was. โ€œOkay, baby, stop. This isnโ€™t the end. Youโ€™re pregnant, but that doesnโ€™t mean you become my housewife and die. I wouldnโ€™t ever try to put the brakes on you.โ€
โ€œI know, butโ€ฆโ€
โ€œListen,โ€ he said. โ€œWe can always make more babies another time. Your life isnโ€™t over.โ€
You huffed, โ€œI have, like, four years before that ship sails and itโ€™s in godโ€™s hands.โ€
โ€œAnything could happen in four years.โ€
You heaved another breath. โ€œTrue,โ€ you replied. Even two years from now you could decide that you wanted to settle down.ย 
It just felt like there was so much at stake. You were a model, for fuckโ€™s sake. Very much a celebrity. Not only did you love your job and having two babies mean you would have less time to devote to yourself, but everyone would be watching them the same way they watched you.ย 
When you went out, there was guaranteed to be a camera not far behind. You couldnโ€™t even get lunch with a friend without being borderline stalked wherever you went. Masks and disguises barely helped.
Anybody that was a friend of yours was a friend of the media. Your whole life was on the internet and there was always a magnifying glass being held close to your face. Every second of your life you were being examined and judged by people who didnโ€™t even know you. Expectations were a constant weight on your shoulders.ย 
โ€œIf I have these kids, I donโ€™t want them to grow up in the eyes of the media,โ€ you started sternly. โ€œI subject myself to judgment and scrutiny every day I step out of my house. Babies donโ€™t deserve that.โ€
Haechan bobbed his head in agreement. โ€œThen, I watch them. And if Iโ€™m busy, then we get a babysitter.โ€
You huffed, โ€œAnd trust a stranger with our child?โ€
The look of horror on Haechanโ€™s face immediately declined that offer. โ€œIโ€™ve got family here. We can pay my cousin or something. Look, baby, weโ€™ll figure this out. Together.โ€
You squeezed his hand, stifling tears. There was so much weight on your heart. It was almost suffocating until you remembered that you werenโ€™t alone.
For the next couple of weeks, you mulled the decision over. You didnโ€™t tell anyone that you were pregnant - not even your grandmother or Haechanโ€™s parents, who referred to themselves as your in-laws, even though you and Haechan werenโ€™t married.ย 
That thought tickled something in your brain. Marriage, you hypothesized. And a family. Deep down inside, it was something you always wanted, but you never knew when. You always figured the day would come where you would just know.ย 
That day had come.ย 
It isnโ€™t the end of the world, you consoled, having had time to be reasonable with yourself. You were far enough in your career where it wouldnโ€™t weaken your income if you took some time to be lowkey. Haechan, the brainiac that he was, even suggested you endorse baby products.ย 
Everything felt so earth-shattering to you that youโ€™d been confused into thinking weighing your options meant you only had one choice. Your mind was quick to wander, wondering if that was a symptom of carrying a developing baby.ย 
You breathed easier when it finally hit you that you didnโ€™t have to choose between the career you loved and starting a family with the man you loved. Because you wanted both and you would have both. Even if it was in moderate amounts.ย 
At ten weeks, you were back in the doctorโ€™s office to determine the sex of your babies. Haechan was hoping for boys while you were hoping for girls. Imagine your shock when Doctor Stakes congratulated you on carrying a boy and girl.ย 
By the end of the first trimester, you decided that you would be keeping the babies and your career. Haechan was both over the moon and a little anxious knowing that he would be a first-time father. Neither of you knew what you were doing and that made it as scary as it was exciting.ย 
Still, nobody knew. Outside of your symptoms, it wasnโ€™t too obvious. Your baby bump wasnโ€™t very big yet.ย 
โ€œNo smoking, no drinking, no hot tubs or saunas, moderate caffeine intake, no raw seafood,โ€ you grumbled, recalling Doctor Stakesโ€™ very detailed explanations of what was and was not healthy during your pregnancy.ย 
โ€œWell,โ€ Haechan started, plopping down on your shared mattress. โ€œShe did say we could still have lots of sex.โ€
You immediately rolled your eyes. โ€œI believe her exact words were sex will not hurt our babies as long as my pregnancy is without health complications and I donโ€™t start to experience bleeding, high blood pressure, and premature contractions.โ€
Haechan gently grabbed your waist and pulled you onto his lap, retorting, โ€œYou look fine to me. How do you feel?โ€
โ€œGood,โ€ you sighed, getting comfortable on his thighs. โ€œDifferent, but not bad different. Good.โ€
Haechan leaned into your ear and purred, โ€œWhich translates into good for lots of sex.โ€
You playfully hit him, pretending to be irritated. You knew he was only kidding. Kind of.ย 
Doctor Stakes was straightforward but thorough in her explanations, walking you through the route of pregnancy with more than a couple of recommendations prioritizing the best potential health of you and your unborn babies. She said that sex was perfectly fine during the first five through six months. Something about your babies being cushioned by your abdomen and amniotic sac fluid.
Whatever the hell that is, you remembered thinking. She also suggested you enroll in a parenting class just so that you knew what to expect. It was not rare for first-time parents to take them and they were apparently super helpful.ย 
It seemed strict, but you knew it was best for your childrenโ€™s development, especially in the early stages. Though you would miss the freedom of your old life. โ€œI kind of miss alcohol just because I canโ€™t have it.โ€
โ€œIโ€™m not giving you any,โ€ Haechan said, voice stern.ย 
You snorted. โ€œI wasnโ€™t asking. Iโ€™m not an idiot. Itโ€™s justโ€ฆ this is my life now. Itโ€™s gonna be hard.โ€
Kissing your cheek tenderly, Haechan replied, โ€œWell, if you canโ€™t drink, I wonโ€™t drink either.โ€
That surprised you and you wanted to know if he was joking or not. โ€œSeriously?โ€
โ€œDuh,โ€ Haechan said. โ€œLike I said, weโ€™re pregnant. Anything you canโ€™t have, shit, I canโ€™t have it either. I guess weโ€™re both abstaining.โ€
โ€œYou donโ€™t have to,โ€ you whispered, though you liked the idea of him doing it anyway. It made your heart flutter.ย 
Haechan shrugged. โ€œYeah, but I would feel like a dickhead for enjoying things that I know you canโ€™t have right in your face. Besides, my liver is probably screaming โ€˜thank god.โ€™โ€
You snickered, bringing your lips to his. That turned you on. You couldnโ€™t even explain it. There was just something so hot and attractive about the words leaving his mouth and you decided you wanted him.ย 
Letting your eyes flutter closed, you quickly tangled yourself in thoughts of him and him only; like a stimulant that only got more lethal with every hit. Sometimes it did feel that way. Like pleasure of this magnitude was too mind-numbing to be free.ย 
Innocent touches became gestures of desperation. Haechan kissed you like he couldnโ€™t get enough, hands zipping to your tender breasts while you looped your arms around his neck. He somehow only got better at kissing. You didnโ€™t even know how that could happen.ย 
Almost like you brought out the best in each other.ย 
โ€œFuck,โ€ you groaned, eyes snapping open.ย 
Haechan instantly noticed and was quick to halt his actions in case he was causing you discomfort. โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong? Did I hurt you?โ€
You shook your head. โ€œNo, itโ€™s just my boobsโ€ฆ Theyโ€™re a little sore.โ€
Haechan chirped, โ€œNothing I canโ€™t take care of.โ€
You giggled when he carefully lowered your weight onto the bed, lifting your shirt above your head and quickly getting rid of your bra. A moan left you when he caught a nipple in his mouth, gently kneading the other one in his hand.ย 
There was something so addictive about the feeling of your boyfriendโ€™s warm mouth on your body. You couldnโ€™t help but exhale and moan, just comforted by the fact that he was supplying you warmth. His hands wandered, too, always soft and tender. Whatever moisturizer he was using was doing godโ€™s work.ย 
โ€œBabe,โ€ you sighed out. Both your mind and body were relaxed and that was exactly what you needed, all things considered.ย 
His tongue passed over your erect nipples, feeling them harden at his touch. Your boyfriendโ€™s goal was to make you feel completely worshiped and he was doing a great job, for lack of a better word. Given that you were the one responsible for carrying and birthing two babies, he concluded that god could only be a woman.ย 
But you were getting way too worked up and it was driving you to the edge. โ€œBaby,โ€ you called. โ€œI want more.โ€
There was an erotic wet sound when Haechan pulled away from your boobs. โ€œAre you sure? I was just kidding about the whole sex thing earlier.โ€
โ€œNo you werenโ€™t.โ€
โ€œNo I wasnโ€™t.โ€
You snorted. Classic Haechan.ย 
Haechan quickly sobered again, whispering, โ€œBut I still wanna make sure this is what you want.โ€
You appreciated his concern, but the longer you waited, the quicker the heat pulsed between your legs and you couldnโ€™t shake it anymore. โ€œHaechan, I literally could not be more sure when I say I need your cock inside me.โ€
King of playing it cool that he was, Haechan pretended that those words werenโ€™t like throwing gasoline on a field of already blazing thoughts. At least until he got inside you. Then, he had no thoughts. Brain empty. And he couldnโ€™t help but bare his soul to you.ย 
Pussy made him talk. There was absolutely nothing that he could hide when he was balls deep inside you.ย 
Haechan shifted between your thighs, thanking god that you decided to wear a skirt today. His patience was wearing thin by the second and knowing how much you wanted him only strengthened his need.ย 
You could only feel your heart thumping and his body heat wafting over you. Other things seemed so much smaller and irrelevant than they were.ย 
Your panties came off with a yank and your glistening folds had Haechanโ€™s undivided attention. โ€œShit, youโ€™re so wet. I didnโ€™t even do anything,โ€ he said marvelously.ย 
โ€œShut up,โ€ you huffed, though it wasnโ€™t sincere. Little things about him being committed to being a father turned you on. He didnโ€™t understand how scary it was to be alone.ย 
Haechan chuckled. โ€œAs you wish.โ€
You knew it wouldnโ€™t be too long before he opened his mouth again and you werenโ€™t complaining.ย 
Overcome with want and the need to do something, you lifted yourself up and crawled towards Haechan to help him undress his pants down his legs. Haechan let you do as much, but the second his bare cock was out, he was gently pushing you back down.
You pouted, lips tucking out. โ€œI wanna do something.โ€
When you were comfortably on your back, Haechan started to rub his cock. โ€œNo,โ€ he said, borderline teasing. โ€œYou can lay here and let me take care of you.โ€
His cock had your attention, your eyes fixed to how hard he was. โ€œOkay.โ€
Haechan parted your legs again, gentler than typical. โ€œOn the plus side,โ€ he started, holding his dick between your thighs. โ€œI canโ€™t get you pregnant if youโ€™re already pregnant.โ€
You quipped, โ€œThatโ€™s actually not impossible. Something called superfetation. I heard about it a couple of months ago after searching on Google for too long. Itโ€™s super rare, though. Donโ€™t worry.โ€
โ€œI am about to superfetate this pussy,โ€ Haechan groaned, obnoxious.
โ€œYouโ€™re turning me off.โ€
Haechan laughed.ย 
After a moment of coating himself in your wetness and hearing your soft moans, Haechan decided he couldnโ€™t take it anymore and slowly penetrated you. His jaw unhitched, more than a couple of sounds escaping him.ย 
You werenโ€™t any better. He just made you feel so full. You liked when he made it seem like it was only the two of you and you existed for each other.ย 
Haechan was painfully hard inside you and desperate to move, though not before he said without room for argument, โ€œTell me if you want me to stop or if it hurts.โ€
You simply just nodded. There was nothing you wouldnโ€™t do if it got him to fuck your brains out.ย 
Then, Haechan started to move. His hands were on your hips, serving as an anchor so that he wouldnโ€™t lose himself completely as he drowned in your wet pussy. In a similar manner, you braced your hands on his shoulders, holding onto him for dear life.ย 
You were gazing at Haechan with one fatal combination of love and lust. They couldnโ€™t be separated. Not after all the things that had been done and all the words that had been said. All you knew was that you had bared your body to him in the same way youโ€™d bared your heart.ย 
โ€œBaby, donโ€™t stop,โ€ you sighed, eyes fluttering shut. โ€œDonโ€™t stop.โ€ There was a pressure building inside the walls wedged between your legs and it only came out when he was steadily rocking his hips into you.ย 
The whole room suddenly seemed a thousand degrees hotter and Haechan couldnโ€™t breathe, exhaling loudly with labored breath. He couldnโ€™t take that your pussy was so warm and tight, grumbling, โ€œFuck,โ€ in between moans, smacking his hips into yours uncontrollably.ย 
For a half second, you made eye contact with Haechan, just before he was sucking at the pulse on your collarbone and you couldnโ€™t help but cry out his name, his chest creating friction against yours just enough to not be uncomfortable.ย 
Haechan willed himself not to tighten his grip at the arc of your hips for the sheer reason that he didnโ€™t want to hurt you. Not only did he not want to hurt you any more than you asked for, but the reminder that his children were growing inside your belly made him treat you like you were fragile.ย 
He wanted to ask you to marry him, but he was terrified that it was way too soon. This pregnancy wasnโ€™t even planned. You would probably have a heart attack if he asked for your hand in marriage. He was no stranger to being chided for moving too quickly, though it was just his nature.ย 
Little did he know, you loved that about him. He could come off too strong sometimes, but beneath his fast jumps to get started was a zealous boy with big hopes for the future.ย 
โ€œI love you,โ€ Haechan whispered, lips brushing against your skin.ย 
Your eyes fluttered open, meeting his again. โ€œI love you. Youโ€™re my everything.โ€
โ€œYouโ€™re my everything and then some,โ€ Haechan flirted.ย 
โ€œYouโ€™re my everything and everything in between.โ€
Haechan started, โ€œYouโ€™re my everything andโ€ฆโ€
All it took was a kiss to the lips to effectively shut him up, grabbing his head and steering him closer to you. Like you werenโ€™t already skin to skin. You sucked his tongue in your mouth, moaning at how his cock hit your sweet spot.ย 
You were just so consumed by him - entirely. Though you knew that there was no closer the two of you could be, youโ€™d be damned if you didnโ€™t try.ย 
Haechanโ€™s hands wandered up to grab a handful of your breasts, gently squeezing the soft skin in his palms. He couldnโ€™t get enough of the way you panted and sighed at his touch. There was no need for oxygen when he had you and he kissed you breathlessly until he thought he was going to die.ย 
Haechan exhaled with his mouth hanging open, โ€œYou cheated.โ€ His lips were perfectly swollen, the sight winning a smile out of you.ย 
You giggled.ย 
With how your walls were kneading and gushing around his cock, Haechan knew that he wouldnโ€™t last. His mouth watered at the thought of coming inside you since it had been so long ago. That one time just short of two months ago excluded, obviously. Though he hadnโ€™t meant for it to happen.ย 
But first and foremost Haechan wanted to get you off and he steered a hand between your legs, thumbing your clit. You squirmed instantly, sensitive.ย 
Little moans of his name kept escaping from your lips. โ€œHaechan, Iโ€™m going to come if you keep doing that,โ€ you warned, though rocked your hips into his to match his pace. The pleasure was different from before and the intimacy was even more intense.ย 
Haechan chuckled breathlessly, staving off his orgasm for as long as he could. โ€œThatโ€™s the point, baby.โ€ย 
There was a resoundingly wet squelch as Haechan continued to bulldoze his cock into your cunt, breezing through the air. Your hands flew to your face as you covered yourself, embarrassed, but he pulled them away just as quick. โ€œDonโ€™t hide.โ€
โ€œDonโ€™t you hear that? Iโ€™m embarrassed,โ€ you blurted.ย 
Haechan shook his head, peering down at you with misty eyes, and growled, โ€œSexiest thing Iโ€™ve ever heard.โ€
You were breathless. Haechan silenced you by capturing your lips in one incapacitating kiss and you swore your heart stopped beating for a second.
He made it too easy to forget. Forget the all-consuming worries of eventual childbirth. The threat of kissing everything youโ€™d ever known and wanted goodbye. And the fear of raising a child that might end up making the same mistakes as you.ย 
No words left your mouth as you parted your lips in a silent scream, trembling with the pressure of orgasm. You were a total disaster - you couldnโ€™t stop moving, shaking and grinding yourself onto him even as your orgasm aggressively passed.ย 
Your orgasm ripped the soul out of you without leaving anything behind in a merciless act of overkill and you only slacked onto the mattress when it felt completely over. You heaved for breath, almost like you would never breathe again. You had never felt anything so vigorously. Every thought vacated your brain.ย 
Haechan was obviously not far behind - if the frequent pitched moans you were milking out of him were any indication - and you were borderline begging him to fill you again. This was a different strain of desperation than the kind that got you pregnant. This was more lethal.ย 
Your walls were pulsing around him and Haechan couldnโ€™t take it, hissing your name when he came with a sharp cry. His hips didnโ€™t still until he rode out his high, both of you moaning in a delighted sync when his cum dripped.ย 
โ€œFuck,โ€ Haechan sighed, finally noticing how fast his heart was pounding against his chest.ย 
You started, โ€œThat wasโ€ฆโ€
โ€œIntense,โ€ Haechan finished.ย 
You nodded in agreement. Though it was enjoyable nonetheless.ย 
The two of you just sat there and wallowed in the afterhighs of sex for a bit. You were too exhausted to move and Haechan didnโ€™t want to leave you alone. He spooned you in his arms for a total of fifteen minutes while the two of you chatted incessantly until you decided you finally had mustered enough strength.ย 
Time was a blur when Haechan helped you to your feet - not that you needed it yet - and led you to the bathroom where he proceeded to run the shower for both of you. After playfully washing each otherโ€™s backs, you went back to the bedroom clad in nothing but towels.ย 
For once, it was comfortably silent when you slipped back into bed. Then, to your surprise, Haechan started to cry. You gasped, โ€œYouโ€™re crying!โ€
Hot tears stung Haechanโ€™s eyes. Few things brought him to literal tears. He was just so over-thrilled to be the father of your babies. โ€œYeah.โ€
You cradled his face in your hands, kissing his lips. โ€œWeโ€™re making two babies. Weโ€™re going to be parents. For the next eighteen years, theyโ€™re going to be our most paramount priority.โ€
Haechan knew that. You werenโ€™t the only one that was going to be taking a step back from the grind, at least until you both grew a little more familiar with the parenting life. His decreased hours were non-negotiable and it helped that he was one of the co-owners.ย 
Not only was he going to be a father, but he needed to take time to be an even more devoted partner to you. Both of you were responsible for these children and the very last thing he wanted was for you to feel like you were carrying the weight by yourself.
Wiping the tears out of his blurry eyes, Haechan said, โ€œI canโ€™t believe you let a guy like me get you pregnant.โ€
You furrowed your brows. โ€œWhatโ€™s that supposed to mean?โ€
โ€œThat Iโ€™m not exactly the type of dude people look at and go โ€˜heโ€™s going to make an incredible father.โ€™โ€
You liked that Haechan was being vulnerable with you. He started doing it more often ever since he realized that his indifference could drive you away. His feelings were deeper than he tended to lead on. When it came to you, he was an open book.ย 
โ€œYouโ€™re going to make an incredible father. There. I said it,โ€ you whispered.ย 
Haechan smiled, hiding his face in the crook of your neck. That was all he needed to hear.ย 
At sixteen weeks, your baby bump still wasnโ€™t protruding even though you were definitely carrying twins. Doctor Stakes reassured you that everybodyโ€™s journey was different and your pregnant belly very well might not pop up until the end of the second trimester.ย 
And since you hadnโ€™t announced that you were pregnant (you were conflicted), you working was still fully expected. Nobody asked questions. You considered yourself pretty damn slick.ย 
That was, until your agent knocked on your trailer while the crew were breaking. She was a down-to-earth, middle-aged woman named Patricia.ย 
โ€œHey,โ€ you greeted, letting her inside. โ€œSomething wrong?โ€
Shutting the trailer door with a thud (this particular company tended to have faulty trailer doors), Mrs. Patricia shook her head gently. โ€œNot particularly. I was curious about something and I wanted to speak with you woman to woman.โ€
That had your undivided attention. You set down the water bottle youโ€™d been gulping back and prompted, โ€œYes?โ€
Mrs. Patricia started, โ€œExcuse me if Iโ€™m overstepping, butโ€ฆ are you expecting?โ€
You blinked. โ€œIs it obvious?โ€
โ€œItโ€™s in your nose.โ€
Your hand went up to your nose and you exclaimed, โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong with my nose?โ€
She gave you a look that sternly told you to lower your voice and replied levelly, โ€œThere is nothing wrong with your nose, but it is swollen.โ€
You had no idea what she was talking about and it was evident on your face.ย 
Mrs. Patricia explained, โ€œFluid retention. I had a swollen nose and hands during my pregnancy with my twenty-year-old, but it went away after my postpartum period.โ€
โ€œOh,โ€ you replied quietly.ย 
โ€œCongratulations, by the way. I think you would benefit from following up on the symptoms of pregnancy, just so that you know what to expect,โ€ she suggested. โ€œAgain, I donโ€™t mean to overstep.โ€
Though your mind was at a billion different places, you forced a smile and said, โ€œNo, itโ€™s okay - thank you!โ€
But the second you came home, you were a different person.ย 
โ€œBabe,โ€ you called out, setting your keys in the tray near the door. Haechan told you that he would be home by now and you saw his motorbike parked in the garage. โ€œBabe!โ€
Given the distance, his voice was faint, but you heard a faraway, โ€œIโ€™m coming!โ€
You stood there and patiently removed your shoes while you waited. There were now a handful of other things weighing on your mind and you didnโ€™t know how to handle it by yourself.ย 
Haechan zipped downstairs, pleased to see you at the end of a long day. His hair was a beautiful mess at the top of his head and you could only guess he had been playing video games with Jaemin and Mark.ย 
Not that you were concerned about any of that right now.ย 
โ€œHey, baby. How was your day?โ€ Haechan asked, coming up to you to trap you in a bear hug. Like he did everyday.ย 
But you werenโ€™t at all in the mood for any of it, ignoring his question completely. โ€œIs my nose swollen?โ€
That obviously wasnโ€™t what Haechan thought you were going to say. โ€œHuh?โ€
โ€œYou heard me.โ€
Haechan drew back, realizing you were in one of your moods again. Doctor Stakes mentioned that you were prone to mood swings and he would just have to deal with it in the gentlest way he could. โ€œI mean, I didnโ€™t wanna say anything, but itโ€™s a little...โ€
โ€œOh my fucking god,โ€ you exclaimed, stepping around him and bolting for the kitchen.ย 
Haechan was hot on your heels. โ€œBabe, wait up!โ€
You threw open the snack pantry door, scanning them for your favorite chips, before remembering that you finished the bag last night. โ€œFuck, I forgot to order from the store!โ€
The words were right on his tongue, though Haechan knew better than to tell you to calm down. He was no stranger to your temper. His voice was level, calm. โ€œWe can always order more.โ€
Fresh tears dampened your face, burning while they blurred your vision. Reality was a mean little bitch with a hard punch. โ€œDamn the chips! I canโ€™t believe this.โ€
Haechan assumed it was a model thing. They were strict about your appearance and you always had to look a certain way. It was part of the reason why he never saw your career as an option for himself, though he wasnโ€™t going to snitch about your junk food indulgence.ย 
Tentatively reaching out for you, Haechan kissed your face and cooed, โ€œHey, baby, listen to my voice. Your body is going to change. The doc said thatโ€™s completely normal. Itโ€™s nothing to lose your shit over.โ€
โ€œItโ€™s everything to lose my shit over!โ€ you wailed. โ€œIโ€™m not mad about my fucking nose - Iโ€™m mad because I know nothing about bringing a baby into this world and Iโ€™m going to be a shit mother!โ€
โ€œDonโ€™t you dare say that,โ€ Haechan told you, stern but still tranquil. You wholeheartedly envied it.ย 
โ€œItโ€™s true,โ€ you huffed, sinking against the refrigerator. โ€œMy nose is swollen. I literally didnโ€™t even know that was a thing! If I donโ€™t know minor fucking details, how am I going to know how to parent?โ€
While you knew your agent had no foul intentions by commenting about your nose and there wasnโ€™t a single mean bone in her body, you wished she would have kept it to herself. You couldnโ€™t stop thinking about how you didnโ€™t have this under control. This baby-making shit was not your strong suit.ย 
Other than the sex itself, although that was the last thing on your mind right now.ย 
It was completely unexpected for Haechanโ€™s voice to drop the way it did. You had never seen him so serious. โ€œWe can take classes. Doctor Stakes recommended them, you know.โ€
You grumbled, โ€œWhy didnโ€™t Doctor Stakes tell me that I was going to get a new nose?โ€
โ€œShe did, actually. Something aboutโ€ฆโ€
โ€œFluid retention, I know. My agent told me,โ€ you replied snappily. You were finally calming down, though hardly. Pregnancy came with its fair share of frustrations. Though it was also accompanied by the lack of energy to express them all.ย 
Haechan helped you off the ground, clearing your face of any tears with his thumb. โ€œIs she the one that commented on your nose?โ€
You shrugged your shoulders but answered, โ€œYeah.โ€
โ€œI think your agent should mind her bitter, decrepit business,โ€ Haechan spat, though his tone was completely noncommittal.ย 
You snorted. โ€œSheโ€™s not bad, Haechan.โ€
โ€œI donโ€™t care. Itโ€™s bad manners.โ€
You couldnโ€™t argue with that. But it was nothing worth getting a new manager over and if anything you would just talk to her about boundaries. The only reason she was even on set was because you wanted her there.ย 
โ€œThe point is,โ€ Haechan started, grabbing your hands and locking your fingers in his. โ€œEvery problem has a fix. I donโ€™t know shit about this, either. You think Iโ€™ve been a father before? Must I remind you that youโ€™re the only girl Iโ€™ve ever came inside of?โ€
You folded your arms. โ€œAnd the only one you ever will.โ€
Haechan snickered, bobbing his head. You were lightening up and he could breathe a little easier. โ€œYes. And the only one I ever will.โ€
You let out a shaky breath. Though you still felt like ripping your hair out, you no longer felt the need to scream. Your lungs had had enough for one night. โ€œFine.โ€
โ€œWeโ€™ll take classes together. I already managed my hours, so Iโ€™ve got time. You should tell the people you work for that youโ€™re pregnant,โ€ Haechan suggested.
You nodded. His constant touches killed your doubts again. Ultimately, they were no match against the love of your life. โ€œHow are you so nonchalant about this?โ€
Haechan shrugged like he had absolutely zero clue. โ€œOld habits die hard, I guess?โ€ He was internally panicking, but excellent at hiding it. Always had been.ย 
You hummed. Maybe it wasnโ€™t the worst thing ever.ย 
โ€œAnd by the way, youโ€™re beautiful. Swollen nose or not,โ€ Haechan said. โ€œI think itโ€™s cute.โ€
You narrowed your eyes at him. โ€œCute?โ€
โ€œYeah. Fits your face.โ€ย 
โ€œYouโ€™re just saying that because you donโ€™t want to put up with a hysterical pregnant lady,โ€ you droned.ย 
Haechan didnโ€™t try to deny it. Instead, he decided to lighten the mood, chirping, โ€œWell, thatโ€™s what I get for being silly and not wrapping my willy.โ€
You forced your lips into a line, fighting a laugh. โ€œThatโ€™s so stupid.โ€
โ€œNo glove, no love,โ€ Haechan persisted, eager to get a laugh out of you. He wanted to see your shoulders shake and your nose do that cute thing it always did when you laughed at his jokes.
You playfully exclaimed, โ€œQuit it!โ€
โ€œYou canโ€™t go wrong if you shield your dong.โ€
That was the last blow your self-restraint could take and you finally burst out laughing like he wanted you to.ย 
Haechan was sporting a triumphant smile. He was always glad to put a smile on your face. Even (especially) for the most idioticly absurd of reasons.ย 
Your outburst eventually fizzled out and you thought back on something he said a couple of minutes ago, musing aloud, โ€œSpeaking of telling people that Iโ€™m pregnant, we havenโ€™t told the clique.โ€
Haechan nodded. โ€œI havenโ€™t even told my parents. Theyโ€™re gonna be so mad we waited almost twenty weeks. My momโ€™s been nagging me about when she can expect grandkids.โ€
โ€œWe should have a party. Get the gang in town and host a gathering at your parentsโ€™ house or something,โ€ you proposed.ย 
Haechanโ€™s brows furrowed. โ€œLike a gender reveal party?โ€
You winced. โ€œGoodness, no. Just, like, I donโ€™t know. A pregnancy reveal party. But they can guess if they want.โ€
That wasnโ€™t the best idea. Mark and Ryujin would probably have opposite guesses and flip the table over. Grabbing your wrist to press a kiss to the back of your hand, Haechan said, โ€œWell, you know Markโ€™s been in Canada for the past two months and Winter is everywhere, but Iโ€™ll see what we can do.โ€
You didnโ€™t want to get your hopes up - nowadays it was rare for all of you to be in town at the same time - but that had you excited. You couldnโ€™t wait to share the good news. โ€œI had another idea, too,โ€ you whispered softly.ย 
Haechan led you to the living room so that you could sit down and asked, โ€œWhatโ€™s that?โ€ย 
Once you were off your feet, you played coy and confessed, โ€œWe should have a photoshoot at your studio when my bump gets big. Just me, you, and the two babies in my belly. A grand reveal to the entire world that Iโ€™m officially a mother.โ€
โ€œSold,โ€ Haechan hummed in approval.
You couldnโ€™t stop smiling. A part of you couldnโ€™t wait for it to happen. Doctor Stakes mentioned that it could feel like your stomach grew out of nowhere.ย 
Within the next couple of days, you communicated with your consultants and the management at your agency and notified them of your pregnancy. You divulged that you were sixteen weeks along and fully intended to be a mother to your children.ย 
And in no uncertain terms. Given the flexibility of your schedules and hectic hours, they agreed that it was only fair you took off as much as you took on. You were offered six months, which you accepted thankfully, and were told to inform them when you would be starting two weeks in advance.ย 
When you delivered the news to Haechan, he couldnโ€™t contain his excitement. Everyday the ongoing reminder of your looming childbirth settled in. His kids were developing inside your womb. He was going to be a father. You were going to raise two kids together in your shared home and every time he realized, he fell more and more in love with the thought.ย 
Only a few weeks later you were at his parentsโ€™ house watching Haechan and his father set up from the kitchen. Though you wanted to at least help with the baking, his mother was unshakeable in her ways and rigidly told you to sit and not move.ย 
She wanted her grandkids delivered in the best possible health. His parents were enthusiastic to discover that you were pregnant, though not without slight scolding. But they werenโ€™t against a celebration.ย 
โ€œI knew it. You know, a mother always knows,โ€ his mother had told you while her son and his father were in the living room.ย 
You heard a knock at the front door a couple of hours later and separated from Haechan who was making out with you while his parents werenโ€™t looking to greet your friends. The first person you heard was Mark.ย 
โ€œWhat up,โ€ Mark exclaimed when he strolled inside like he owned the place.ย 
Ryujin wasnโ€™t far behind, obviously, but behind her was her boyfriend, Sunwoo. Every now and then, you were reminded that the guy actually existed, although he had come home from Chicago years ago.ย 
You gave them each kind hugs. โ€œHi, guys. Long time, no see.โ€
Ryujin spat, โ€œMark gets a Grammy nom that he didnโ€™t even win and acts like heโ€™s too cool for us now.โ€
โ€œGod forbid a man gets busy and goes to his home country,โ€ Mark droned in stride. โ€œBesides, Iโ€™ll get it next year.โ€
You nodded in approval. That was the spirit.ย 
โ€œItโ€™s good to see you, man,โ€ Haechan said, pulling Mark in for a brief hug after doing the same with Sunwoo and Ryujin.ย 
Mark patted him on the back. โ€œSame, dude. Itโ€™s good to have all of us together again.โ€
Sunwoo picked up some candies that were collecting dust in a bowl on the coffee table. โ€œAre these peanut butter?โ€
โ€œYup,โ€ you retorted.ย 
He quickly sat it back down.
Ryujin explained dryly, โ€œHeโ€™s allergic.โ€
Pinching Haechanโ€™s arm, you gave him a stern look, knowing he was on the verge of a snicker.ย 
You remembered something and mentioned to Mark, โ€œOh, by the way, Iโ€™ve been hearing your new single on the radio. Itโ€™s really good.โ€
There was a faint blush across Markโ€™s cheeks. โ€œThanks,โ€ he chirped.ย 
โ€œI did the cover art,โ€ Ryujin added.ย 
Mark whined, โ€œWhy canโ€™t you ever let me have my moment?โ€
You chuckled. It was good to have them all back. Other than Sunwoo, you were pretty updated on what they all had going on and though it drove them out of the city sometimes, you were endlessly happy for them. Mark was obviously the next big thing and was busy making global hits, touring the seven seas.ย 
On the other hand, Ryujin worked from home more often than not, typically only leaving California to go on vacation. She did art commissions notably for wealthy patrons and pitched in with Markโ€™s creative team whenever needed.ย 
Chaewon was also frequently home, owning a hair and nail salon here and all. You and Winter definitely took pictures and credited her in your Instagrams stories. Speaking of Winter, she was everywhere, much like you. More than once, you collaborated in a photoshoot or went to Paris Fashion Week together.ย 
Which left Jaemin. He was much more lowkey. After giving his master's degree last year, he finally started to work as a mechanical engineer. You couldnโ€™t believe how smart he was, having skipped a grade and all.ย 
The others showed up a little later. Your stomach was turning with a mixture of nerves and excitement. You couldnโ€™t wait to get the news off of your chest. You smiled when Haechan looped an arm around your waist, almost like he could sense your whirlwind of feelings.ย 
Some dancing and singing at the top of your lungs later and your worries were promptly forgotten. Chaewon, Winter, and Ryujin danced with you while the boys were laughing in their own circle. The whole room was entirely too chaotic and Haechanโ€™s parents escorted themselves out minutes ago.ย 
Now it was time for the kids to really party.ย 
Mark, under the impression that this party was just a small get-together for friends who didnโ€™t get to see each other often, glanced at you and asked, โ€œOkay, rum, tequila, or vodka?โ€
You winced. โ€œOh, no. I canโ€™t.โ€
Mark gaped. โ€œWhat? Iโ€™m on tour for a few months and now you donโ€™t drink?โ€
โ€œYeah, um, about that,โ€ you said, gesturing for Haechan to cut down the music. โ€œI have something to tell you guys.โ€
โ€œYouโ€™re taking care of your acne? Youโ€™re breaking out more than usual,โ€ Mark blurted without malice.ย 
Haechan cocked him a glare, deadpanning, โ€œYou know, Mark, it amazes me how you can always be so close yet so far away.โ€
Everyone was gazing at you with baffled looks. Then, you set your hand on your stomach, and it clicked. Mark gasped, โ€œDonโ€™t tell meโ€ฆโ€
โ€œIโ€™m pregnant,โ€ you announced, giggling when Haechan curled his arms around your waist as he hugged you from behind.ย 
He was quick to correct, โ€œWeโ€™re pregnant.โ€
โ€œYes,โ€ you said with a chuckle. โ€œWeโ€™re pregnant.โ€
The nerves were back with a vengeance. You knew they were all going to have distinct reactions and the anticipation was killing you. You thought they might have chided you for being stupid.ย 
As it turned out, there was a chorus of excited noises and โ€œcongratulationsโ€ that you could hardly make out. Everybody was trying to speak over each other and you had to add, โ€œOkay, one at a time. Please.โ€
Chaewon wasnโ€™t shocked, almost like she expected it to happen, but had her hands on her hips in her typical fashion. โ€œIโ€™m your best friend and you didnโ€™t tell me you were pregnant?โ€
You winced. โ€œSorry.โ€ Expected backlash, you thought.ย 
โ€œItโ€™s okay,โ€ she said, shoving Haechan out of the way to pull you in for a hug. Much to his annoyance. โ€œIโ€™m so happy for you.โ€
You chuckled at the sound of Haechan huffing from beside you. โ€œThanks.โ€
Mark was next. There were literal twinkles in his eyes. โ€œIโ€™m going to be an uncle?โ€
โ€œAbsolutely. Your niece and nephew are going to love you,โ€ you retorted happily.ย 
Winter gasped, โ€œYouโ€™re having twins?โ€
You bobbed your head. โ€œYes. One girl, one boy. We both wanted different things so I guess that was the universeโ€™s way of being a diplomat.โ€
Winter snorted in amusement. She could already guess what your preferences were. โ€œOh, wow. Congratulations. Jaemin and I definitely arenโ€™t having kids, so Iโ€™m cool with being the rich auntie.โ€
โ€œMm, three rich aunties. Theyโ€™re going to be so lucky,โ€ you dragged.ย 
Haechan droned, โ€œAnd extremely spoiled.โ€
You giggled.
Sunwoo and Ryujin walked up to you. Ryujin was staring at you in adoration. โ€œHave you painted the nursery? If not, can I please help?โ€
That was an absolute no-brainer. โ€œWe havenโ€™t done a lot of things. We need as much help as we can get.โ€
Sunwoo glanced between you and Haechan and said, โ€œCongratulations.โ€
โ€œThanks, man,โ€ Haechan said, holding out his hand.ย 
Sunwoo firmly shook your boyfriendโ€™s hand. Then, he looked to Ryujin, parting his lips to speak, and she snapped with a shake of her head, โ€œNope. Never.โ€
Sunwoo frowned.ย 
You giggled. It didnโ€™t take a genius to understand he was about to ask her about having kids someday.ย 
Jaemin looked like he couldnโ€™t believe his ears. Though, he had to admit it made sense. You and Haechan just couldnโ€™t keep your hands off of each other. โ€œYouโ€™re pregnant?โ€
โ€œVery.โ€ย 
โ€œWow,โ€ he replied, shaking his head in disbelief. โ€œAnd I thought we had enough Haechan walking around.โ€
โ€œDude, Iโ€™ll kick your ass,โ€ Haechan hissed.ย 
Jaemin threw up his hands in a gesture of innocence. โ€œKick my ass after the partyโ€™s over.โ€
Winter wandered over again, a drink in her hand, and quipped, โ€œYou know, this whole time I thought you were going to get Haechan pregnant.โ€
That got a giggle out of you. โ€œNo worries. Iโ€™m gonna peg him tonight.โ€
Haechan was smiling so hard his cheeks hurt.ย 
While you went to go find Chaewon and whisper something in her that made a smile crawl its way onto her lips, Haechan and Jaemin excused themselves from the room for a minute.ย 
The garage was hot and stuffy, a stark contrast from the ventilated and free energy of the party, but it was the perfect place to have a private conversation ideally without any unwanted listeners.ย 
Haechan mounted one of his dadโ€™s old bikes (his father was still an avid bike fan no matter how long it had been since he rode one). He wasnโ€™t going anywhere, but he needed a distraction.ย 
Holding a beer, Jaemin nudged his best friend and asked, โ€œYou donโ€™t want a drink?โ€
โ€œNo, I canโ€™t,โ€ Haechan replied, voice distant.
Suit yourself, Jaemin thought. Then, thinking back to something you said, he teased, โ€œGuess she was serious about that pegging shit, huh?โ€
Haechan snapped, โ€œDo I ask you how youโ€™re fucking Winter?โ€
Jaemin made a face before downing what was left of his beer. โ€œGood point, my friend.โ€
Haechan was obviously in his head, which meant nothing good. As always. He wasnโ€™t unhappy - the opposite, rather - but this was one of those days where everything felt unreal.ย 
If there was anything he knew, it was that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you. His little voice in his head snapped, Damn eighteen fucking years. You were his until he died.ย 
The silence was getting off-putting, thus Jaemin started, โ€œSo, a baby.โ€
โ€œYeah,โ€ Haechan answered blankly. It was almost like he wasnโ€™t ever there. His surroundings be damned.ย 
Jaemin was officially miffed. โ€œYou wanted to come out here to talk to me about something, man. Open up, brother. Whatโ€™s on your mind?โ€
Haechan shook his head. He was in desperate need of direction. He huffed, โ€œI donโ€™t know, bro. Iโ€™ve never felt shit like this before.โ€
That piqued Jaeminโ€™s attention. All he could think of was how badly his brother in everything but blood needed a drink or a cigarette, though he correctly assumed he was abstaining for your sake. โ€œLike what?โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s the thing. I canโ€™t explain it. I mean, I put a baby in her,โ€ Haechan started, conflicted. โ€œTwo babies. You know that we wavered a long time before she decided that she wanted to keep them?โ€
โ€œWell, I do now.โ€
Haechanโ€™s features were tensed in his typical pensive gaze. โ€œI support her regardless of what her decision would have been, and I made sure she knew that, but I was secretly hoping that she wanted to keep it. Because I realized what I wanted.โ€
Jaemin prompted, โ€œWhat do you want?โ€
โ€œEverything. I wanna do the whole nine. I wanna start a family with her. I wanna pick up the kids after school. Make the three of them breakfast in the morning. I wanna spend every second of my life next to her. When I die, I want to be buried next to her grave.โ€
Jaemin tilted his head with suspicion. โ€œHaechan, do you wanna marry her?โ€
โ€œYeah. I wanna marry her,โ€ Haechan answered. He was finally confirming it - aloud. โ€œIs it too soon?โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s not for me to decide,โ€ Jaemin said kindly.ย 
Haechan sighed.ย 
Jaemin gave him a pat to the shoulder and added, โ€œHey, bro. The worst she can say is โ€˜no.โ€™โ€
There was a war-waging storm inside of Haechan. He was prepared to kiss the ground that you walked on. โ€œSheโ€™s the mother of my babiesโ€ฆ,โ€ he trailed.ย 
Though Haechan tried to blink his tears away, his emotions and love for his family was too goddamn strong. His heart beated for the three of you. This paternal responsibility added a brand new meaning to his life. A different purpose.ย 
Jaemin noticed his best friendโ€™s tears and immediately opened his arms. โ€œDude, come here.โ€
Haechan marched over and let Jaemin sweep him into a borderline aggressive hug. There was thunder in his heart and he could feel it shaking everything heโ€™d ever known. This kind of euphoria was foreign to him, but he never wanted it to stop.ย 
When he pulled back, Haechan wiped his face and muttered, โ€œDonโ€™t tell them I cried.โ€
Jaemin snickered, patting his friend on the back. โ€œDonโ€™t worry, man. I got you for life. Your secretโ€™s safe with me.โ€
Haechan blew out a shaky breath. โ€œBy the way, my girlfriend and I talked, and we decided that we want you to be the godfather.โ€
Jaemin pointed to himself with his finger. โ€œMe? Why not Mark? What do I know about god?โ€
Haechan snickered. โ€œThink of it as being the highest ranking uncle.โ€
โ€œI like that. Uncle Jaemin. Itโ€™s got a nice ring to it,โ€ Jaemin replied, nodding with approval.ย 
โ€œWhat about Dad?โ€
Jaemin grimaced. โ€œThatโ€™s not funny. I have nightmares about that.โ€
Haechan laughed.ย 
As soon as that was over, Haechan and Jaemin slipped back into the party so naturally it was almost as if nothing ever happened. He found you sipping on an iced tea in an attempt to quench your thirst.ย 
You cocked a brow at him. โ€œEverything okay?โ€
Haechan bobbed his head. Then, he stole your glass out of your hands and took a sip, much to your annoyance. โ€œYeah. Why?โ€
โ€œJust asking,โ€ you replied, snatching your drink back.ย 
Tempted to giggle, Haechan held it back when a thought crossed his mind. โ€œIโ€™m not having second thoughts.โ€
โ€œI know.โ€ You also knew his secret, familiarized with the little gleam in his stare, though you decided against mentioning it.ย 
Haechan grinned, taking your available hand in his, and asked, โ€œWanna dance?โ€
โ€œI was wondering when you would ask,โ€ you retorted, setting down your glass and leading him to the center of the floor.ย 
Heat fluttered in your chest when you felt Haechan get closer to you. With his hands at your hips and yours at his shoulders the two of you started to sway around the floor, earning a number of exhilarated noises from your friends in the room.ย 
But it still felt like it was just you two, like it did all those years ago when you realized for the first time that there was something so different about him. For lack of a better word, he was just so mesmerizing. You remembered wanting to know everything there was about him.ย 
Bliss made you close your eyes and make a wish to the stars, hoping for an eternity with the man you loved and the life you made together as partners.ย 
From the corner of your eye, you noticed Sunwoo excuse himself from this fascinatingly beautiful moment to accept a phone call. Not that you minded. You were entranced in that moment and everything else had little consequence. Your heart was dancing inside your chest and on the floor.ย 
Haechan pressed a kiss to your brow, looking at you with total undeniable affection. His eyes were sparkling again though not with tears - with adoration. This man would steal the moon for you and then proceed to wish on every star for a thousand more moons to gift you.ย 
Only if he knew that there was an impending danger he shouldโ€™ve wished away.ย 
Sunwoo entered the room again and walked towards the two of you, which made you both stop and curiously gaze at him before he said, โ€œItโ€™s for you.โ€
You were baffled. โ€œWho is it?โ€
โ€œJeno.โ€
Haechanโ€™s face paled.ย 
Without thinking, you took the phone and pressed it to your ear, then said less than amicably, โ€œHello?โ€
Jenoโ€™s voice was quick to fill your ears, an air of surprise to his tone when he spoke your name. โ€œHey. Donโ€™t hang up, please.โ€
โ€œGive me one good reason why I shouldnโ€™t,โ€ you hissed.ย 
The room was silent while you talked. The music was cut again and everybodyโ€™s eyes were fixed to you, watching this phone call unfold with interest. Nobody dared to say a word, but the disdainful feelings were pretty much obvious. The anger in Haechanโ€™s eyes almost matched the ire in yours.ย 
โ€œBecause Iโ€™m sorry.โ€
โ€œYouโ€™re sorry?โ€ you repeated. โ€œThatโ€™s all you have to say?โ€
Jeno sighed from wherever the hell he was. โ€œListen, I want to talk, but I donโ€™t want to have this conversation over the phone. I was thinking maybe we could meet up somewhere.โ€
โ€œJust a second,โ€ you replied, handing Sunwoo back his phone while you dragged Haechan over to a corner.ย 
Judging from the mere force of your actions, you were clearly upset and it didnโ€™t take a genius to point that out. Haechan was ready to pummel this guy to the ground for your sake. โ€œWhat happened? What did he say?โ€
โ€œHe wants to meet up. I guess he wants to apologize,โ€ you whispered.
Haechan exclaimed, โ€œWhat?โ€
You put your finger to his lip. โ€œHe said that he was sorry.โ€
Frustration made Haechan cross his arms with a mean-looking scowl on his lips as he huffed, โ€œAnd you want to entertain this fool?โ€
You shrugged. You were obviously angry and feigning indifference, covered head to toe in unadulterated rage, but there was something in you that wanted to give Jeno the benefit of the doubt. โ€œCall it curiosity. But Iโ€™m not going out pregnant. Iโ€™m not ready for the world to know yet.โ€
โ€œOkay, so I go.โ€
You had already thought of that, pondering all your options in a five-minute time span, but quickly responded, โ€œYeah, but I kind of wanna be there when shit goes down. How about we invite him over?โ€
Haechan was seething. โ€œYou want to invite him over to the house where weโ€™re going to raise our son and daughter?โ€
โ€œWe need a bigger house anyways,โ€ you answered flatly, exhaling a breath.ย 
โ€œBigger than ours?โ€
โ€œBigger than ours.โ€
Haechan frowned for a moment, though after a moment or two of contemplation, he relented. โ€œFine. But I want to do all the negotiating.โ€
You bobbed your head. โ€œFair.โ€
Haechan politely asked Sunwoo for his phone again, then switched on a dime when he spoke sharply, โ€œHello?โ€
Neither of you could see the way Jenoโ€™s eyes flickered with shock. โ€œHaechan.โ€
Haechan snapped, โ€œDonโ€™t give me that shit, man. Did you change your number?โ€
Jeno faltered with confusion. โ€œNo?โ€
โ€œGood. Iโ€™m going to text you our address. Youโ€™re going to be at our front door step tomorrow afternoon at two oโ€™clock sharp or else youโ€™ll be turned away at the door. And you better tell me something I want to hear or Iโ€™m kicking your ass.โ€
There was a lull of silence as Jeno processed those words.ย 
Haechan immediately added, โ€œGot it?โ€
โ€œGot it.โ€
โ€œGoodbye,โ€ Haechan said, promptly hanging up the phone and returning it to its owner.ย 
Mark was not shockingly the first to speak. โ€œThat wasโ€ฆ intense.โ€
You shrugged. โ€œI thought it was hot.โ€
โ€œOf course, you did,โ€ Mark teased.ย 
Haechan shook his head. It felt like the more the days passed, the more there was on his mind.ย 
Regardless of unfortunate events, you refused to allow them to ruin the celebration. Assertively, you demanded that somebody put the music back on and encouraged your boyfriend to bust a move. Socializing and having fun was the quickest way to make him forget the unforgettable.ย 
Even though you were less expressive in your contempt, it obviously put you at unease as well and you were also in fine need of an effective distraction. A drink would have been nice for knocking back inhibition, but youโ€™d resigned yourself to the fact that you had months before that was a viable solution.ย 
Plus something that you learned as you bordered closer onto your thirties was the significance of letting loose without the need for recreational use. There was something more special about bonding sober.ย 
Priorities shifted. Like how you were steadily beginning to value your personal life over your career and image. When you were in your early twenties, everything felt more life-and-death than it was. Now, the most pivotal moment of your life would be successfully giving birth.ย 
Later that night, those were the thoughts battling in your mind until noon that day. It seemed like every day you were making changes in your day-to-day routines to accommodate your new life. Changes that you were so certain at one point would feel like the end.ย 
You knew now it wasnโ€™t anywhere close to the end. If anything, it was a new beginning and a transition to a new stage of your life. You were standing at the threshold of parenthood.ย 
That wasnโ€™t to say you were going to remain indoors for the rest of your life until you wilted and succumbed to eventual fate. Or become a housewife and die, as Haechan had humorously put it. Granted, you realized how vital it was to be a little more laid-back and would undoubtedly shelter your children, but you were already fantasizing about sending the kids to the grandparents for a fun night out.ย 
You wondered if Jeno had changed. All things considered. He was older, too, and closer to Haechanโ€™s age than he was yours. Though five years didnโ€™t seem like too long ago, you had seen a quantity of things occur in that time.ย 
And you werenโ€™t just talking career-wise, though that technically helped your case. You were in no way a stranger to the upward spiral of Jenoโ€™s career. Like you, he had a successful career in the fashion industry, walking down runways and posing for big shot photographers.ย 
On more than one occasion, youโ€™d been invited to events at the same time, though you had considered yourself lucky to not have any face-to-face encounters with him and simultaneously practiced your professional skills if it inevitably were to happen.ย 
Maybe it was for the better. A way to prepare you for the hell that was today. Still, you couldnโ€™t deny being anxious as you lounged on your couch.ย 
Checking your watch and noting that it was a minute before two, you exhaled, โ€œWhat if he just doesnโ€™t show up?โ€
Not a moment later, the doorbell rang. Oh, you thought to yourself. Heโ€™s always been punctual.ย 
โ€œYou have your answer,โ€ Haechan droned.ย 
You took three stabilizing breaths when you watched Haechan leave the room to answer the front door. Maybe you should have let him take care of this. No, chided the voice in your head. This is both of your history. He shouldnโ€™t go through this alone.ย 
Especially not when he was evidently opposed to it and only agreed because it was what you wanted.ย 
There was a disturbance in your brain when you saw Haechan round the corner and return with Jeno. This guy had essentially been off of your radar for so long that it was jarring to be confronted with the fact that he wasnโ€™t a figment of your imagination.ย 
Jeno spoke your name. โ€œHi.โ€
You waved. As of this second, you didnโ€™t have anything to say to him.ย 
โ€œYou can sit,โ€ Haechan said when he sat next to you on the loveseat. He sounded bored.ย 
Jeno perched on the chair across from you, fumbling with his hands. You didnโ€™t know Jeno for as long as Haechan had, but you still had never seen him anxious.ย 
You scanned your memory for any recollection of him being anything other than cocky and confident and ultimately turned up empty. His raging ego and dilated pride was his vice and had cost him more than youโ€™d ever known.
Impatiently, Haechan prompted, โ€œWell, are you here to twiddle your thumbs orโ€ฆโ€
Normally, you would pinch his thigh for rude comments, but today he had a free pass.ย 
Jeno lifted his head to meet both of your eyes when he finally started, โ€œIโ€™ve spent six months trying to practice what I would say if I ever got the chance to apologize.โ€
Both you and Haechan had your arms folded, stubborn. Save for the unignorable vexation, your faces were borderline inscrutable. He picked the wrong duo to fuck over. The two of you were unrelenting.ย 
Jeno let out a little sigh and promptly continued, โ€œI say six months, because it took me four years and a half to understand just how badly I fucked up. At first, it didnโ€™t bother me that I lost seven friends on the same day. I was arrogant. I thought I didnโ€™t need friends.โ€
You almost laughed. Almost. That much was obvious.ย 
โ€œAnd I had that mindset for a long, long time. Thereโ€™s just something about when youโ€™re super young and you feel like you have the whole world at your feet. Obviously, the popularity didnโ€™t help. When I started to become famous, people wanted to hang out with me.โ€
โ€œYeah, that tends to happen,โ€ you quipped smartly. โ€œThey see youโ€™re the next big thing and they hold onto you because thatโ€™s what youโ€™re there for. To be their one-way ticket to stardom. Then, when they get what they wanted, youโ€™ve exhausted your purpose.โ€
โ€œYeah.โ€ Jeno bobbed his head in agreement.ย 
Haechan was not here to have a conversation about the brutal reality of being a superstar in the industry and his jaw clenched. โ€œWhat made you realize that you fucked up?โ€
โ€œWhat she said,โ€ Jeno replied, rubbing the back of his neck. โ€œThis is a shallow job. Nobody was really my friend. I was either just their ride to fame or an accessory to make them look good. I realized how much I missed not only you two, but the whole gang, because you were the only people who cared about me beyond the surface.โ€
Haechan sighed.ย 
Jenoโ€™s voice got quieter. Not emotional, but dangerously close. โ€œIn our clique, it didnโ€™t matter if you were on track to being a celebrity or just some guy. You know?โ€
โ€œYeah. I know.โ€
You frowned.ย 
Haechan added, โ€œSo, you get lonely and decide you need us?โ€
โ€œI know how that sounds, butโ€ฆ,โ€ Jeno trailed. โ€œBut Iโ€™m sorry. Iโ€™m sorry for taking you for granted. Iโ€™m sorry for competing with you instead of being your friend.โ€
Haechanโ€™s lips were in a hard line.ย 
Jeno flitted his gaze towards you. โ€œIโ€™m sorry for using you. It was beyond fucked up.โ€
โ€œTo be fair, I was using you, too.โ€
Jeno bounced his leg against the ground, attempting to thwart his nerves. At the back of his mind, there were many unspoken thoughts. โ€œYeah, but you didnโ€™t leave a woman in the street by herself. I still havenโ€™t forgiven myself for that. If something happened to you, it would have been all my fault.โ€
Just the thought triggered something spiteful inside you. โ€œIโ€™m glad you realize that.โ€
Knowing you better than anybody, Haechan could sense the fire smoldering inside of you, slipping his fingers through yours and squeezing. โ€œThis has beenโ€ฆ whatever, but Iโ€™m going to have to ask you to leave. Youโ€™re stressing my baby mother out.โ€
Jeno spluttered, โ€œBaby?โ€
โ€œYeah. A baby.โ€
Jenoโ€™s eyes flickered in shock. โ€œWow, um. Thatโ€™s amazing. Congratulations.โ€
โ€œThank you,โ€ you replied, tone completely noncommittal. โ€œWeโ€™ll think about it.โ€
You watched Jeno bob his head and reply with a quiet โ€œthank youโ€ as your boyfriend stood to see him out. With how your brain was practically like a wildfire, it felt like the epitome of madness.ย 
Haechan came back only a couple of moments later sporting a sour glower.ย 
You relaxed when he sat next to you. You didnโ€™t realize that youโ€™d been so stiff. โ€œWell, what do you think?โ€
โ€œI donโ€™t know,โ€ Haechan lied without realizing, because his skepticism wouldnโ€™t allow him to admit his true feelings.ย 
Well, you knew exactly what you were thinking. โ€œHe seems genuine. I donโ€™t think he has an ulterior motive. I mean, heโ€™s doing great, he doesnโ€™t need us.โ€
Haechan prompted, โ€œBut?โ€
You heaved a breath. Sometimes you hated that Haechan knew you so well. Better yet, he understood you perfectly.ย 
โ€œBut I donโ€™t forget as easily as I forgive,โ€ you said quietly, drifting endlessly in your thoughts like spacetime.ย 
Haechan huffed, โ€œMe, neither.โ€
Without many uncomfortable amounts of stressful thoughts, your life went on. The world kept spinning no matter what you were going through and it did you no good to subject yourself to strain while you were carrying twins. Your doctor was clear that the risks associated with pregnancy grew with more than one child.ย 
Your body was undergoing so much change that you didnโ€™t even step outside because you didnโ€™t want the world to know that you were pregnant until you announced it yourself. Given that it was your first pregnancy, you wanted it to be unforgettable.ย 
The baby bump felt like it happened overnight. You couldnโ€™t stop gawking at yourself in the mirror, in disbelief that there was something coming to life inside of you. They were starting to move around, too. You cried when you noticed the fluttering in your belly, almost like butterflies.ย 
Every day you were counting down the seconds until the photoshoot until in a blink, the day had finally come. Haechan, the gentleman that you had fallen in love with, had everything set up at his studio and was rigid with the staff, though nonetheless polite. You were beaming. Not many opportunities arose for you to see him work behind the scenes and it was heartwarming to see him be so attuned to your needs.ย 
It was one of the most fun and rewarding shoots youโ€™d ever done in your life. And it would be the most noteworthy. The vibe was nothing less than ethereal and it was full of kisses and laughter. Haechanโ€™s hands and lips on your belly. Holding your hand while you looked into each otherโ€™s eyes with the utmost adoration.ย 
Holding the physical pictures between your own fingers, you sobbed. You were very emotional these days and half expected Haechan to poke fun at you, but he never did. He was the same way, passionate about the undying love he had for you and your unborn children.ย 
There were a couple of pictures that you didnโ€™t release to the public. Those were just for you and your loved ones. They were more vulnerable, sentimental pictures where you and Haechan couldnโ€™t but stare at each other with a tearful gaze.ย 
The moment of truth, came the little voice in the back of your head while your finger wavered over the share button. Half of you wanted to hand your phone over to your PR team, but it was important to you that you were the one to disclose.ย 
You took a shaky breath just before pressing the button and tossed your phone to the side. What was said online wasnโ€™t any of your concern. You didnโ€™t want to know.ย 
Outlets rushed to cough up the news. Your social media accounts were bursting with likes from people all over the globe. People you were friends with in the industry didnโ€™t hesitate to call and congratulate you on the pleasant surprise. This wasnโ€™t a secret anymore. Now that it was out there, it was everybodyโ€™s business.ย 
When the deed was done, you chose to focus on yourself and the life surrounding you in every capacity rather than what was out of your hands, and made peace with the fact that public opinion was inevitable. What you could control, on the other hand, was how exposed you were to strangerโ€™s thoughts.ย 
The next few weeks were filled with yoga and child development textbooks. Haechan was taking pictures weekly to document your belly growth. He had already decided that he was going to start a photo album specifically for your children while they grew older.ย 
You told him that you couldnโ€™t think of a more beautiful idea.ย 
One Friday came and brought a handful of errands along with itself. You were undoubtedly pregnant now, but not so much that you couldnโ€™t complete tasks by yourself, though Haechan thought that that was debatable. He thought it was ridiculous that anyone expected you to do anything and upheld that you deserved princess treatment.ย 
But you had a medical opinion that said staying active during pregnancy was beneficial for you and the babies, and Haechan resigned himself to defeat.ย 
Apparently, the universe wasnโ€™t in your favor, because your car started to have complications. First, the sunroof vehemently refused to open. Then, like a total drama queen, your car decided that she didnโ€™t want to start.ย 
The most exasperated breath escaped your mouth. You didnโ€™t know the first thing about getting a stubborn vehicle to start and you knew Haechan didnโ€™t either. Besides, not only did you not want to disturb him while he was working, but you were equally stubborn and wanted to prove that you were capable of handling yourself.ย 
Out of options, you had a really, really bad idea.ย 
Something unfamiliar stirred in your gut when you pressed your phone to ear, hearing it ring. Anxiety. Or maybe it was something else. Something unidentifiable.ย 
Jeno sounded a little startled when he spoke, as if he thought you called him by accident. โ€œHello?โ€
โ€œHi, Jeno,โ€ you said less than enthusiastically, rubbing your forearm. โ€œIโ€™ve got a serious favor to ask.โ€
Though you couldnโ€™t see, Jeno perked up at those words. He was completely desperate. โ€œYeah, sure. Anything. Whatโ€™s up?โ€
Providing a little humor, you replied, โ€œAssuming that you actually know how to work on cars and that wasnโ€™t a lie to impress me, my car kind of wonโ€™t start and trying to guilt trip her into functioning doesnโ€™t seem to be effective.โ€
Jeno snorted. โ€œDid you check the battery?โ€
You almost started to panic. โ€œNo. Was I supposed to?โ€
โ€œUh, how about this. If you want, I can come check it out,โ€ Jeno suggested, then immediately regretted the decision. He didnโ€™t want to try and insert himself into your lives too quickly. โ€œBut only if you want me to.โ€
That wasnโ€™t the best idea, considering your boyfriend was intent to hate Jenoโ€™s guts and would not approve of him standing in his garage alone with his baby mother, but your options were already few, so you replied, โ€œThatโ€™s fine. You know where I am.โ€
โ€œIโ€™m on the way,โ€ Jeno said. You could hear him shuffling around in the background.ย 
โ€œOkay. See you soon.โ€
You hung up without giving him a chance to respond and released an uncertain breath. Donโ€™t make me regret this.ย 
Waiting with bated breath and folded arms, your gaze upturned some thirty minutes later when you heard a blue Mercedes Benz turning into your driveway.ย 
And then Jeno started to walk over to you.ย 
โ€œHey, sorry I couldnโ€™t make it sooner. Traffic is crazy today,โ€ Jeno said when he stopped just shy of your toes.
You waved him off. โ€œYouโ€™re good. Thirty minutes isnโ€™t bad for California traffic. Thanks for coming over.โ€
โ€œNo problem,โ€ Jeno replied. He didnโ€™t waste much time on small talk, getting straight to what you called him over for. โ€œLetโ€™s see whatโ€™s wrong with this bad boy.โ€
โ€œHer name is Mariposa,โ€ you corrected, but your tone wasnโ€™t malicious.ย 
Jeno threw his hands up. โ€œWhereโ€™s my manners? I shouldโ€™ve asked. Sorry if I offended you, Mariposa.โ€
You snickered. โ€œDonโ€™t apologize to her. Sheโ€™s caused enough trouble today.โ€
Jeno chuckled.ย 
While you kept yourself occupied in the corner, not wanting to disturb Jeno as he tried to figure out why your car was acting like a bitch, his brain was totally divided. Half was focused on thoroughly examining your car, while the other was hooked on the fact you remembered something he told you five years ago at dinner.ย 
Jeno was pondering, hoping. Maybe you just had a good memory, especially when it was convenient, but he hoped that someday, there would be room for him again in your lives.ย 
Even if he had to spend years proving that he was worthy.ย 
Jeno separated himself from the lifted hood of your car, dusting his hands off. Your eyes were stuck on him with gut-eating anticipation. โ€œLooks like your alternator is weakening. Smells like burned wires and the serpentine belt smells like smoke. Your engineโ€™s probably leaking.โ€
โ€œEnglish, please.โ€
โ€œYour alternatorโ€™s not alternating and your shitโ€™s fucked,โ€ Jeno replied, blunt.ย 
โ€œOh.โ€ That certainly wasnโ€™t what you wanted to hear.
โ€œDonโ€™t worry. The good news is that itโ€™s nothing that canโ€™t be fixed,โ€ Jeno reassured, pushing the lid back down. โ€œThe bad news is that I donโ€™t have the tools to work on it for you.โ€
You ran a hand through your hair. โ€œGuess I should call a mechanic.โ€
Jeno bobbed his head. โ€œThat would be a good start.โ€
You were anxious to ask, but did it anyway, โ€œIf itโ€™s not too much trouble, would you mind hanging around? One look at my neighborhood and the obvious fact that I donโ€™t know a damn thing about cars, and anyone would try to scam me out of more money than I need to spend.โ€
โ€œYeah, of course,โ€ Jeno replied, dipping his hands in his pockets. โ€œBut, uhโ€ฆ wonโ€™t Haechan mind?โ€
You snorted. That was an understatement. โ€œOh, definitely, but his vehicle knowledge starts with one wheel and rides with two. I donโ€™t think he has a say in this.โ€
Jeno snickered.ย 
The mechanic came half an hour later and you let Jeno handle the bulk of the talking, only chiming in when the guy asked specific questions like how long youโ€™d been experiencing complications with your car.ย ย 
Between the mechanic peeking under the hood and Jeno pointing out to him your carโ€™s tenaciousness, you understood enough of their exchange to know that fixing her would take a solid two hours. Unfortunately, this guy was stretched thin, meaning he would have to tow it back to his shop and have you pick it up tomorrow.ย 
โ€œThis day cannot get any worse,โ€ you grumbled underneath your breath.ย 
Jeno was frustrated for you and it wasnโ€™t even his car acting a damn fool. After he seemed to hesitate a little, he asked, โ€œWill Haechan be back soon?โ€
โ€œNope. He had most of his hours cut, but apparently there was a really huge crisis at his job. Itโ€™s going to be another hour or two.โ€
โ€œDammit,โ€ Jeno groaned. โ€œWell, if you want me to, I wouldnโ€™t mind driving. You seem really stressed and thatโ€™s not healthy for the babies. I mean, obviously you know that, but...โ€
His nervousness was not lost on you and you resisted a chuckle, interjecting, โ€œJeno, I would really appreciate the help.โ€
โ€œOkay, cool,โ€ Jeno said, whipping his keys out of his pockets and tossing them in the air. โ€œWhere to?โ€
Gently helping you get into his car, Jeno made sure that you were safe and comfortable before he took the driverโ€™s seat and braced his hands on the wheel. He was certain that your lover would have his head on a stick for driving you around without his knowledge, but he had a moral obligation not to leave pregnant ladies under tension.ย 
Besides, he had to prove his loyalty somehow. It didnโ€™t matter how much Jeno insisted that heโ€™d changed. Neither you or Haechan would be convinced until there were no doubts.
Your head was against the door, temporarily appreciating the air conditioning until you just couldnโ€™t take the silence, asking, โ€œSo, howโ€™s life? Last time we spoke, you were talking about people being shallow.โ€
Jeno nodded his head quietly. โ€œIโ€™ve been scared of meeting new people. I have a few friends. Other than that, I have my family and girlfriend.โ€
Your brows furrowed. That was new. โ€œGirlfriend? Congratulations. I didnโ€™t know.โ€
โ€œThank you,โ€ Jeno replied, heat rapidly flushing his cheeks. โ€œSheโ€™s the one that encouraged me to apologize. Even if you guys still hated me in the end, she said it would be good to get it off my chest.โ€
That was interesting. Nobody saw the day coming where Jeno of all people would choose commitment. โ€œIs she in the industry?โ€
โ€œNo, sheโ€™s actually a banker,โ€ Jeno replied, chuckling.ย 
โ€œReally? How did your paths cross?โ€ย 
โ€œItโ€™s a long story,โ€ Jeno said, but you could see his eyes sparkling with happiness. He mustโ€™ve really liked her.ย 
Pointing to the road in front of you, staring at the red light glaring back at you both, you shrugged your shoulders. โ€œWeโ€™ve got a long day.โ€ย 
For the duration of the total ride, in between stops, you chatted with Jeno to pass the time. It wasnโ€™t the easiest thing to relax around each other, each for your own reasons, but you managed. And truth be told, it wasnโ€™t all too bad.ย 
Your chronic cynicism was the only thing standing in the way of your forgiveness. But Jeno had no apparent reason to drive you around and assist you with errands if it wasnโ€™t simply out of the kindness of his heart. There was nothing that you could give him that he didnโ€™t already have. Except maybe loyal companionship, but heโ€™d already made it clear that he wasnโ€™t lonely.ย 
Only hours later did Jeno finally pull back into your driveway. Most of your errands just required having to speak with people, but noting that you were probably out of your favorite snacks again, you opted to head to a couple of stores. You also figured you would need some chocolate when it was time to placate Haechan after he realized youโ€™d been with his worst enemy all day.ย 
When you were home, Jeno refused to let you carry a single item. With your bags in his hand, he opened your front door and dropped your bags off in the kitchen.ย 
The sound of his front door opening was all too familiar and it was no surprise that Haechan rushed downstairs, having returned only maybe half an hour before you, and chirped, โ€œBaby, youโ€™re home!โ€
You wrapped your arms around him. Haechan gently hugged you back, careful not to harm you. His warmth was appreciated, but remembering you had a little surprise, you pulled back. โ€œDonโ€™t get mad.โ€
Haechan gave you a look. โ€œWhy would I get mad?โ€
Surprisingly on cue, Jeno returned from the kitchen, trailing, โ€œI put the food in the...โ€ย 
Jeno and Haechan locked glances as it was like a deer crossing paths with a mountain lion. Though you could feel Haechan tense, rather than his hold slackening, it tightened. You could see the anger flickering onto his face within a blink. โ€œWhat is he doing in our house?โ€
โ€œI just said donโ€™t get mad,โ€ you groaned, winding a hand through your hair. You cocked your head towards Jeno and said to him, โ€œJeno, thank you for helping me out today. I owe you one.โ€
โ€œNo, you donโ€™t. Iโ€™m endlessly indebted to you,โ€ Jeno quipped, sticking his hands in his pockets.ย 
โ€œDamn right,โ€ Haechan murmured under his breath.ย 
Nudging him in the side, you ignored Haechanโ€™s whine of pain. โ€œWell, get home safe. Thank you again.โ€
โ€œNo problem. Have a good night,โ€ Jeno said, seeing himself out.ย 
โ€œGet home safe?โ€ Haechan repeated when Jeno disappeared.ย 
You heaved a little breath and asked, โ€œDo you want him to die or something?โ€
โ€œWellโ€ฆโ€
โ€œStop,โ€ you hissed, breaking out of his arms and moving to a chair. โ€œHe really helped me out today. My car broke down and he came to check it out. Then, when the mechanic took my car, he volunteered to help me with my errands.โ€
Haechan followed behind you, confused. โ€œWhat? Why is this my first time hearing about this?โ€
โ€œBecause you had a work emergency and it wasnโ€™t worth interrupting you over. I can handle stuff by myself, you know.โ€
โ€œI know you can, butโ€ฆ,โ€
โ€œBut youโ€™d rather me call you than the guy that fucked you over, yeah, I know,โ€ you huffed.ย 
โ€œYou just finished my sentence.โ€
Your brows furrowed, wondering how that was in any way significant. โ€œSo?โ€
โ€œSo, this is going in the completely wrong direction,โ€ Haechan said, cooling off for your sake. The last thing you needed was stress or a petulant baby daddy. โ€œLetโ€™s calm down and go upstairs.โ€
You opened your mouth to say something, anything to oppose him, but closed them when you realized youโ€™d fallen short of things to say. โ€œFine.โ€
Haechan helped you to the bedroom. The stairs were definitely a problem lately, courtesy of the additional pressure on your uterus. You had to be extra careful coming up them now.ย 
When you were sitting on your bed, Haechan quietly came beside you. You released a tiny breath, not pleased or disgruntled, but of the will to leave whatever just happened downstairs. It was to be expected.ย 
After a minute of silence, Haechan finally said, โ€œIโ€™m sorry.โ€
You shook your head. โ€œDonโ€™t be.โ€
โ€œNo, I should be. You know I never want to make you feel like I think that you canโ€™t do anything yourself. But I need you to know that Iโ€™m still there for you to lean on when you need me.โ€
Thankful that he was lying down, you lowered yourself to rest your head on his chest. Your lips were tugged into a faint smile. โ€œDo you remember our first date?โ€
Haechan cocked brow. โ€œThe real one, or the unofficial first date?โ€
I still think the unofficial date was the real one, but whatever. Obviously, you would never say that aloud, because then it would spark the debate over what your actual first date was. You ignored his question and continued, โ€œYou said that you would never try to control me, because youโ€™re a grown man and Iโ€™m a grown woman.โ€
โ€œHave I?โ€
You answered bluntly, โ€œNo, you havenโ€™t. That was five years ago, you know. Iโ€™m pregnant with our baby and even if I hate this next part, I have to depend on you a little more now.โ€
โ€œYeah, but that doesnโ€™t mean I should make a sign-in sheet for everybody that enters your life,โ€ Haechan said.
โ€œTwo things can be true at once.โ€ย 
Haechan said nothing, because there was nothing that needed to be said. You were so similar. That was why your relationship worked. Both of you needed time to yourselves, but the fact you were having a baby together forced you to readjust.ย 
It wasnโ€™t just about what you or Haechan needed anymore. Your two babies would be entering the world any day now and they took precedence in your lives now. There would be difficult choices and there would be compromises. For both of you.ย 
You found his fingers, blindly lacing your fingers through them. โ€œI donโ€™t forgive him, if thatโ€™s what youโ€™re thinking.โ€
โ€œOh.โ€
You continued, โ€œI think I probably will, eventually, but not yet. Not right now.โ€
โ€œYou said that I would rather you call me than the guy that fucked me over,โ€ Haechan rewinded, squeezing your hand.ย 
You made a face. โ€œYeah, I did, but I was irritated and I cut you off. Itโ€™s a bad habit that I still havenโ€™t let go of. And it will probably happen again.โ€
Haechan snorted. โ€œYou werenโ€™t wrong, but at the same time, I think I might forgive him too. Not right now, obviously, but eventually. Like you said.โ€
โ€œWhy?โ€ You were confused. You saw how Haechanโ€™s demeanor switched on a dime when he noticed Jeno was in his house.ย 
โ€œBecause he helped you. And anyone that treats you respectfully without an ulterior motive is alright in my book.โ€
There was movement in your belly and it wasnโ€™t the babies for once. It was the butterflies.ย 
Haechan draped his other arm over you, smiling gently as his hand touched your belly. โ€œBy the way, is this a good time to mention that I have something to tell you?โ€
Your face tensed with curiosity. โ€œYouโ€™ve already put it out there. Might as well cough it up.โ€
โ€œOkay, wellโ€ฆ,โ€ Haechan started. His confidence seemed to be dissipating. โ€œI was thinking that we should go on a babymoon before the kids get here.โ€
A single brow lifted from your face. โ€œWhat?โ€
โ€œLike a honeymoon, but itโ€™s not a honeymoon. Itโ€™s a babymoon,โ€ Haechan explained vaguely, sitting up in a way that meant he was serious.ย 
โ€œOkay, but wouldnโ€™t we go on a babymoon after we had the baby?โ€
Haechan gave you a look. โ€œBaby, do you really think that we're going to have that kind of time after the babies are born?โ€
When he put it like that, the concept made a little more sense. โ€œFair point. Where would we go though?โ€
Haechan shrugged. โ€œI was thinking Florida, but of course Iโ€™m open to suggestions. This is an us thing.โ€
โ€œFloridaโ€™s good with me,โ€ you said without complaint.ย 
โ€œThen, Florida it is.โ€
Only two days later, you were on a plane to Florida with ample snacks and water. Haechan didnโ€™t like to waste any time and you didnโ€™t understand the point in waiting either. The clock was ticking and you were already in the third trimester.ย 
Sure, it was a last-minute vacation, but you checked in with your doctors and after a few evaluations, they had little problem with you traveling through air for a couple of weeks.ย 
Florida, specifically Miami, was ripe with obnoxiously hot weather in spite of the faded summer. December was similar in California, cheerful and sunny with occasional rain showers. Given that you were raised in the north, it was an exciting change of pace.ย 
Which was why you were glaring at Haechan in disappointment when you watched him pull three sets of familiar black leather from his suitcase. Your arms were crossed. โ€œDid you really need to pack three different leather jackets?โ€
โ€œYes, absolutely,โ€ he said without hesitating. โ€œCome on, babe, you love seeing me in black leather. Itโ€™s what made you fall for me.โ€
You mercilessly quipped, โ€œActually, Iโ€™m pretty sure thatโ€™s what made me turn you away.โ€
โ€œWhatever,โ€ Haechan retorted, pulling another leather jacket from his suitcase.ย 
All you could do was shake your head. โ€œYou know, I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever seen you wear the same leather jacket twice.โ€
Haechan chuckled. โ€œNow thatโ€™s an exaggeration. Besides, I need to have plenty to pass down to our kids. Theyโ€™re gonna have to look extra cool when we go biking together. I canโ€™t be seen with anything less.โ€
Your heart draped over your racing heart. โ€œHaechan, you cannot take our kids on a motorcycle.โ€
โ€œOf course not. Not with you knowing about it.โ€
Your heart was skipping. You were absolutely going to need to have a conversation with his mother. Heโ€™s definitely his fatherโ€™s son.ย 
โ€œI was kidding. It was a joke,โ€ Haechan said playfully, but the mischievousness in his countenance was obvious.ย 
You rolled your eyes. โ€œSure it was.โ€
Whether it was or wasnโ€™t, Haechan would never tell you. You would just have to cling to hope that he wouldnโ€™t do something like that without your knowledge. Though you trusted him endlessly, the little snicker coming from his parted lips made you a little unsure.ย 
Then, the vacation started, and you tried to keep your mind from drifting towards the aftermath of pregnancy. Well, as much as you could with the added pressure weighing down your every footstep. Haechan didnโ€™t want to leave you out of his sight for the next two weeks lest something happened to you.
Though you werenโ€™t due for another five weeks, he wasnโ€™t taking any chances. He waited close by when he surprised you with a prenatal massage and always kept your phones charged in case of emergencies.ย 
Heโ€™s going to be a wonderful father, spoke the smitten voice in your head in rhythm with your soaring heartbeat. He was vigilant, careful. You knew with total confidence that your children would be in the greatest of hands.ย 
Still, in spite of your mutual worries, neither of you would allow them to stand in the way of your fun. He wandered around the beach with you, sticking your toes in hot sand and taking a dip in the water.
Sporting a two piece swimsuit, you felt somewhat self-conscious meandering just shy of the shore in front of so many people. Though youโ€™d convinced yourself that you were doing a good job at hiding the truth, Haechan grabbed your hand and asked, โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong?โ€
โ€œNothing.โ€ It was an obvious lie, because you replied way too quickly.ย 
Haechanโ€™s steps slowed, cocking his head to look at you. โ€œThatโ€™s a lie. You answered too fast. And you didnโ€™t ask me why I asked.โ€
Your shoulders slumped in defeat. โ€œItโ€™s justโ€ฆ that I feel a little exposed.โ€
Even though that was vague as hell, Haechan knew exactly what you meant and he wouldnโ€™t stand for it for even just a second. โ€œBabe, youโ€™re beautiful. Thatโ€™ll never change, even if your body wil,โ€ he said, stopping dead in his tracks.ย 
Your eyes stung with tears. Youโ€™d been outside lately, but never this exposed. Never this far into your pregnancy. โ€œIโ€™m sorry. I know I shouldnโ€™t feel like this.โ€
Haechan shook his head. โ€œDonโ€™t you dare apologize to me. You can feel however the fuck you want. Just remember that I love you regardless of what you look like. And your bodyโ€™s only changing to cater to the life weโ€™re about to bring into the world.โ€
That reminder was all you needed. As long as you had Haechanโ€™s love and enough of your own to supply your children, everything else ceased to matter.ย 
For half a second, you thought about how tired he mustโ€™ve been of having to provide you reassurance, but you shooed the thought away. Everything Haechan did for you was because he cared. There were more than a handful of times where Haechan would randomly confess how gorgeous he thought you were and how much he loved you.ย 
โ€œThank you,โ€ you whispered.ย 
Haechan set his arm at your backside. โ€œYou have nothing to thank me for. Itโ€™s the truth.โ€
โ€œI know, but I donโ€™t know how I would do any of this without you. You make everything easier. I feel like I can breathe as long as youโ€™re with me.โ€
Haechanโ€™s heart was unstill. He couldnโ€™t imagine his life any other way. โ€œThereโ€™s nowhere else Iโ€™d rather be,โ€ he confessed, the sound of his voice featherlight.ย 
You wanted to test that theory. Mischievous, you squeezed his hand and leaned onto his shoulder, asking, โ€œWould you rather go back to the room?โ€
What that meant was obvious to Haechan, but it still surprised him. Your sex drive wasnโ€™t as active lately. And not only that, but he was too busy becoming a father to focus on his libido. โ€œWould you be there?โ€
โ€œI would do a lot more than that,โ€ you retorted.ย 
Haechan pressed, โ€œBut would you want to?โ€
โ€œBabe, if I didnโ€™t want to, I wouldnโ€™t have asked.โ€
Haechan nodded. Itโ€™s not like you were ever afraid to tell him what you wanted. Or what you didnโ€™t want, for that matter. Plus it had been a lifetime since the two of you had sex, and he couldnโ€™t blame you for wanting to get it in before exhaustion became the only thing that drew you to bed. โ€œSay less.โ€
The walk back to those canopy chairs was eager. Haechan wanted to return to the room as quickly as he could, but patiently remained at your side.ย 
After collecting your beach towels and rinsing off loose sand (as much as you could in public), you and Haechan walked side-to-side back to the hotel. The sight of your suite coming into view five minutes later made you release a shaky breath of relief.
You and Haechan locked lips almost the second you stood behind the door. Haechan couldnโ€™t wait any longer; he was bursting. Ever since you introduced the idea some twenty minutes ago, all he could think about was putting his hands on you.ย 
His hands were quick, loosening the string behind your back. Some weeks had passed since he touched you like this. Maybe a month. Now he was remembering what it was like to be caught in your path.ย 
You separated yourself from him, exhaling, โ€œBed.โ€
Haechan grabbed you by the waist and guided you to the bed. When you were there, you climbed your own way up the mattress, with him following closely after. A hand crept into your bare chest and the other behind you, gently craning you onto your back.
Your lips connected again. Fire ascended over you, starting in your heart and stretching elsewhere. His lips were so pretty and kissable. Throwing your mouth against his and sucking on his tongue was something you simply never got bored of. You just couldnโ€™t explain it.ย 
Haechan pulled back again a couple of moments later, staring at you as if you were the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. โ€œBetter?โ€ he asked, eyes sparkling with wonder.ย ย 
โ€œMm-hm,โ€ you sighed contentedly, lacing your fingers through his beautiful head of hair.ย ย 
Haechan extended an arm down your calf, teasing the skin before cycling your legs into the air and ripping your panties almost right from underneath you. He so badly wanted to touch you everywhere, gnawing at his lip with an insatiable hunger. โ€œIโ€™ll never get tired of this,โ€ Haechan said wantonly. โ€œTired of you.โ€
That was without question. You could feel his half-hard cock growing at the edge of your swollen thigh. Arousal shot through him like a firework and it would take little to nothing to get him excited.
Your heart throbbed in sync with your pussy and your leg, still in Haechanโ€™s itching palms, tensed insatiably. There was nothing that turned you on like being wanted.ย 
Wishing he would take off those stupid swim trunks, a dangerous thought wrecked through your brain and you asked, โ€œCan I do something this time?โ€
โ€œNot a chance.โ€
You snapped, โ€œAnd why not?โ€
โ€œBecause itโ€™s my responsibility to take care of you. And right now, I just wanna make sure you get wet enough to take my dick,โ€ Haechan replied.ย 
Your next best option was begging. โ€œPlease? Iโ€™ll get wet just from seeing your pretty face scrunch. Killing two birds with one stone.โ€
Haechanโ€™s lips parted to turn you down, but he started to mull over your suggestion. Hope nipped at your heart, twinkling in your eyes. Blowjobs shouldn't've hurt the babies. And he knew you wouldnโ€™t be able to lie on your back for very long anyway. โ€œFine. How do you wanna do this?โ€
You were beaming. With Haechanโ€™s help, you kneeled on the mattress before crawling over to the edge of the bed. โ€œI read something online. Letโ€™s try you standing here while I lay on my side.โ€
Per your request, Haechan shifted to the edge of the bed, stepping out of his swim trunks where his dick was desperately poking around for attention.ย 
You leaned onto your left side, excitement making your heart beat quicker. And your pussy throb, but you were happily focused on someone else right now. โ€œFeel free to use my mouth.โ€
โ€œIโ€™ll keep that in mind,โ€ Haechan said, though he would try not to.ย 
Pressing your lips against his inner thighs, you brushed them over his skin, feeling his legs tense at your touch. So, so sensitive. You could only imagine what would happen when you sucked his cock into your mouth.ย 
You reached out to grab a fistful of his cock, just after spitting into the palm of your hand, and started to pump him slowly. More often than not, you started off tentatively; you liked to tease him. There was no point in getting him off if you couldnโ€™t see the irritability and desperation on his handsome face.ย 
Haechanโ€™s breath hitched. His cock was twitching. You seemed to always know what to do with your hands, in spite of the fact that you never let his cum too quickly. But you knew exactly how to wreck him.ย 
โ€œYou donโ€™t have to tease, you know,โ€ he said, voice a little distant like he wasnโ€™t even there.
โ€œI know,โ€ you replied offhandedly. โ€œBut I want to.โ€ And I know you pretend not to like it.ย 
Haechan huffed, but he was only half upset. Part of him liked when you had total, unmitigated control of his pleasure.ย 
You didnโ€™t release your grip on his stiffened cock when youโ€™d had your fill of teasing him until you sucked the tip into your warm mouth. There was a breath on Haechanโ€™s end, light and shaky, and you couldnโ€™t wait to replicate it.ย 
Your cheeks were hollowed. You were eager to take most of him down your throat, but were cautious about your pacing, given that it had been a minute since you sucked the soul out of Haechan. Even you were reluctant to give him head during the first trimester because of the morning sickness.ย 
โ€œFuck,โ€ Haechan whined shakily. He was remembering what you said about using your mouth even though he hated that the idea appealed to him.
Haechanโ€™s fingers gripped the sheets, opting not to touch you in case he went too far. His face was tense with pleasure and those featherlight moans were like music to your ears. You took more of him, hopeful to throat every inch, and looked into his hazy eyes to watch as it broke him just the way you knew it would.ย 
The heat was getting to be too much. His thoughts were racing by quicker than he could articulate them, all coming from his mouth being gentle sounds. But his head was saying, Sheโ€™s going to be the death of me. And Iโ€™m okay with that.ย 
Then, he couldnโ€™t hold back any longer, and started to thrust into your mouth. Though there wasnโ€™t any warning and you only half expected it, you somehow willed yourself to relax. It was so goddamn hot. Pretending that it was your cunt his stiff cock was fucking got you even wetter.ย 
Even you were moaning and the vibrations shooting through his cock made the room whirl a little. And as if it couldnโ€™t get any better, you pinched the skin of his thigh between your nails, plucking a lethal whine out of him. โ€œThatโ€™s making me crazy, baby,โ€ he exhaled, another groan escaping him when he met your stare.
You pressed your tongue flat against his shaft and Haechan swore he saw Michael Jackson looking down at him for a second. Please, was at the back of his throat, but he didnโ€™t want to cum. Not right now. He wanted to cum when he was deep inside of you.ย 
โ€œFuck. Fuck. Fuck. Stop,โ€ he panted, blinking as if to clear the haze from his eyes.ย 
You grinded to a halt when you heard those words and noticed him no longer fucking your mouth, wiping saliva from your lips with the back of your hand. Your cheeks hurt, but it was worth it. โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong?โ€
โ€œI donโ€™t wanna cum,โ€ Haechan said, gravel. โ€œNot unless Iโ€™m inside you. And even then, I might nut too quick.โ€
You waved off his concern and replied, โ€œItโ€™s okay if you do. I might tap out soon.โ€
โ€œDuly noted. Whatโ€™s the plan?โ€
You beckoned Haechan forward with your hand, watching him creep closer. When he bent down to your level, you whispered something in his ear.ย 
A few moments later, Haechan was behind you in the bed, your naked back flush against his bare chest. Your breaths were thick and rough while you became entrapped in his bodyโ€™s warmth. Bending your knees, you counted down the seconds until he would be inside, holding your breath when he entered from behind you.ย 
And you released it when Haechan grunted at the squeeze of your vice-like cunt upon the first couple of thrusts. You were soaked, just like you said. Getting him off mustโ€™ve really done a number.ย ย 
His voice was so close to your ear, closer than you thought. โ€œYou know the drill, baby. Tell me if you canโ€™t take it.โ€
You nodded. It was all you could do not to splinter then and there.ย 
Haechan was tentatively prodding, slow. He was careful not to do you any harm, because if he did, heโ€™d never forgive himself. Luckily enough, what you were feeling was far from painful. With every inch he reluctantly pushed into you, your head was deeper into the clouds.ย 
There was nothing like being skin to skin with your lover, heart to heart. That was the better half of the appeal when it came to sex nowadays. Pleasure was seeked by the togetherness of intimacy, less than the emphasis of orgasm.ย 
But he certainly still knew how to get you there.ย 
โ€œYou always feel so good,โ€ you moaned, stretching your hand to reach his forearm. This whole trip had been nothing short of romantic thus far.ย 
Something about your praise made all of the blood flow to Haechanโ€™s dick, heavy and quick. โ€œYou ready for me?โ€
โ€œMm-hm. Move, baby,โ€ you whispered, knowing he was testing the waters. โ€œJust relax. Youโ€™re not going to break me, I promise.โ€
Haechan acknowledged your consent with the quietest of sounds, starting to pace himself in and out. His rhythm was steady, but none too rough. It was loving.ย 
It tickled when his lips grazed the back of your throat in a litter of kisses, breathless giggles escaping you. Wheeling your head, you turned to give him a peck on the mouth, watching the smile coax its way onto Haechanโ€™s face. He has the prettiest smile ever. And Iโ€™ll do anything to protect it.ย 
Anything and everything. It was no secret that Haechan doubted himself sometimes. He rarely spoke to you about it, not wanting to lump his feelings on top of yours because he thought yours were more significant, given that you were the one bringing these children to life. But you wish he knew how incredible he was to you.ย 
Though you never failed to remind him. Even now, just looking into his eyes with total adoration, Haechan couldnโ€™t understand. He wanted to see himself the way that you saw him. Thanks to your relentlessness, he was getting a little closer.ย 
Reaching out to touch his cheek, you whispered, โ€œI donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever wanted anyone as much as I want you.โ€
โ€œFuck,โ€ Haechan groaned, like those words alone would be the death of him. Which wasnโ€™t too far from the truth.ย 
You playfully teased, โ€œYou always say the most romantic things.โ€
Haechanโ€™s face flushed, but those explicatives were at the tip of his tongue. When he was deep inside you like this, his hands cupping your hips, it couldnโ€™t be helped. โ€œThatโ€™s funny. I was about to say the same thing,โ€ he lied, losing himself with every sweet thrust.
Your lips parted in a laugh, but it was cut off by a moan. Between the sight and sound, Haechan couldnโ€™t tell which was better. Watching you burst with rapture turned him on. Listening to you burst with rapture turned him on. You turned him on.
All you could feel was ecstasy. It had been said, but the whole world stopped when you were alone with Haechan and it didnโ€™t affect you. When he was fucking all the stress out of your body, in spite of the heat scorching down your skin, you could somehow breathe.ย 
You faced away from him again, eyes fluttered closed. You were imagining him, even though he was right behind you. There was no space between your bodies and sometimes it was as if you were one person. Like you couldnโ€™t tell where you ended and he began.ย 
Which was ironic. Your first encounter wasnโ€™t so long ago, even if it felt like a lifetime had passed since then. You still vividly recalled wanting nothing to do with him.ย 
Yet here you were. Carrying his baby, his offspring. And you wouldnโ€™t have it any other way.ย 
Haechan extended his hand over your lower stomach, reaching out to touch your clit. Your reaction was instant. You gasped, elevating to highs you never knew were in reach. Sex hit different knowing the extremes you were capable of when Haechan was giving himself to you completely.ย 
โ€œIโ€™m so close, baby,โ€ Haechan warned. He could feel it approaching, but it didnโ€™t matter to him if he didnโ€™t cum either.ย 
That excited you. Your core throbbed and you purred, โ€œGive it to me, baby boy. Cum inside of me.โ€
โ€œDonโ€™t say it like that,โ€ Haechan told you, coming up on the edge. He rocked into you harder, wincing his eyes closed.ย 
You didnโ€™t skip a beat. โ€œWhy? Too afraid youโ€™re gonna bust a nut?โ€
When Haechan said nothing, you grinned to yourself. Then, his other hand came to your boobs, gently touching your nipples. You sighed out, breathless.
Now it was you unraveling. Like clockwork, your back started to arch away from him, your body too stimulated from his hands on your nipple and clit. It just felt so good - the whole room started to spin.ย 
Moving your hair out of the way, Haechan leaned even closer to you. If possible. You were obsessed with his mouth nipping at the shell of your ear. Voice at the back of your neck. โ€œYouโ€™re gonna be a great mother. I can feel that you are,โ€ he said, breath tickling your neck.ย 
You whimpered, listening to his gentle tone factored with the hot sound of sex thumping throughout the room.ย 
โ€œOur kids are going to love you from the moment that they lie on your chest and get to see you. Theyโ€™ll grow up lucky that they get to call you their mother, because even before they were born, youโ€™ve done nothing but your best to care for and nurture them.โ€
โ€œHaechanโ€ฆ,โ€ you trailed. Your eyes watered.ย 
Haechan added, โ€œAnd Iโ€™ll be there, proud as ever. Because if thereโ€™s any woman thatโ€™s fit to raise a baby, itโ€™s you.โ€
Only seconds ago you didnโ€™t think you would be able to go any longer, sensing yourself on the brink of tapping out, but that spiral ripped it out of you. You shuddered with climax, shifting away from his touch. The sweetest cry escaped you and you found his hand to anchor yourself through your orgasm.
That did it for Haechan in the end. He came just at a glimpse of you finishing on his cock, moaning your name darkly. Stifling his sounds into your shoulder. You milked his load out of him and Haechan swore it was mind-numbing to its core.
A moment passed before you each stilled. Sticky sweat connected your gleaming skin as you released open-mouthed exhales in an attempt to stabilize your breath. For a second, eyes fluttering, your brain was peacefully empty.ย 
Minutes later, you cocked your head and squeaked, โ€œIโ€™m going to the bathroom. Just rest. You donโ€™t need to follow me.โ€
Haechan nodded, finally pulling out of you. Something about times like this made his heart swell and his skin swelter. Those moments of silence after.ย 
Wobbling inside the bathroom attached to your suite, you shut the door behind yourself, in spite of knowing Haechan would probably come in a minute or two. There was a gigantic smile on your face. Finding somebody that cared about you so much was a blessing.ย 
You meandered over to the toilet so that you could pee. Then, when you finished, you came to the sink to wash your hands of germs. The mirror in front of you was wide and tall. You stared at your reflection, letting out a contented little breath, and set your palms on your tummy.ย 
As to be expected, Haechanโ€™s voice sounded from behind the door when you didnโ€™t return a couple of moments after he heard you flush. โ€œBaby, are you good? Can I come in?โ€
You quipped, โ€œHavenโ€™t you come inside of enough things?โ€
Haechan snickered, twisting the knob. Very funny. He was pleasantly surprised to see you slowly rubbing a hand over your pregnant belly, softly smiling even if you didnโ€™t realize that you were.
Haechan came up to you. Your heart quickened when you sensed his warmth behind you, kissing your shoulder. โ€œWas I too much?โ€
You shook your head. โ€œIt was amazing. I didnโ€™t think I would make it that far.โ€
โ€œWhat can I say? Iโ€™ve never not blown a womanโ€™s mind,โ€ Haechan joked, lips brushing the back of your neck. A litter of love bruises were there.ย 
You rolled your eyes. Then, you giggled.ย 
It was silent for a little while. Both of you were too in awe to speak. With your focus drawn entirely to your children, it was all too easy to become paralyzed with adoration. And they werenโ€™t even born yet.
Haechanโ€™s hand came around your hip, dropping below your ribs. You could feel him hesitating - his body tensed against your skin - but he ultimately said, โ€œNot to be that guy, but Iโ€™m kind of glad youโ€™re taking a step back.โ€
โ€œReally?โ€ You knew that. His happiness was never not clear to you.ย 
โ€œYeah, baby, I meanโ€ฆ,โ€ he trailed, thinking. Longing. โ€œSpending more time with you, bonding as a family has really changed me for the better, I think.โ€
I know what you mean, came your thoughts, but you just hummed. Haechan knew that you were listening. And you knew that he wanted to talk. Your fingers crept up his arm, reassuring.ย 
Haechanโ€™s mind was racing. Blaring. โ€œBecoming a father hasnโ€™t just changed my life. Itโ€™s changed the way I look at life. Life is short, baby. The most beautiful moments of life are short, but theyโ€™re meaningful, because I have you. And Iโ€™ve got to make that count.โ€
You shook your head. โ€œWeโ€™ve got to make that count.โ€
Haechan nodded, chuckling. โ€œYes, youโ€™re exactly right. This is a group effort.โ€
Your eyes lifted to look at him in the mirror, and you finally realized your lips were curled. โ€œYouโ€™re gonna be a good father, you know,โ€ you said levelly.ย 
Haechan let his hands wander over your belly, running them gently over the flesh. There was a twinkle in his gaze and a beaming smile at his lips. โ€œI can believe that now. And I owe all of the credit to you. I know what I want and who I am. Youโ€™ve made me see things from a different point of view.โ€
โ€œIronically, I feel the same way,โ€ you said, finding some amusement in this moment of clarity. โ€œIt seems like only yesterday I was terrified of having a baby. I didnโ€™t want things to change. The future was so scary.โ€
โ€œAnd itโ€™s not anymore?โ€ Haechan asked.
โ€œA little,โ€ you confessed. โ€œBut knowing that I have you makes it easier. And knowing that our kids have someone like you, I can relax.โ€
โ€œYou know what they say. The best matches are people who bring out the best in each other.โ€
You bobbed your head. โ€œSometimes, I canโ€™t tell if I grew because of you, or if I grew with you. But I think itโ€™s both now. And now we get to do that for a lifetime.โ€
Yeah, I get that, Haechan thought. You donโ€™t have a single clue, do you? Just how badly I wanna seal the deal, tie the knot. But Iโ€™ll take it one step at a time, because I know how you are. Youโ€™re slow and steady, baby. And Iโ€™m reckless and quick, but we make it work, because you know what you want. And so do I.ย 
โ€œYes,โ€ Haechan sighed happily. โ€œYes, we do.โ€
A quick tear escaped your eye, but you wiped it away. You were overwhelmed in the best way.ย 
Haechan kissed your cheek, knowing all of your pleasures and your pains. And he kept them inside his heart in a vault. โ€œI hope they have your eyes.โ€
Your brows furrowed in wonder. โ€œI think our genes might be evenly distributed.โ€
โ€œThat is not how it works, baby.โ€
I know, but I want to have hope. Itโ€™s wishful thinking,โ€ you replied, sighing.ย 
Haechan chuckled. โ€œEither way, theyโ€™ll be beautiful. And they have a handsome father and breathtaking mother to thank.โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s so vain,โ€ you retorted. But you didnโ€™t disagree.ย 
Haechan kneeled to the floor, sitting just shy of your stomach. His hands were still lovingly touching you. โ€œHi, son and daughter. Itโ€™s Daddy. Iโ€™m sure youโ€™re sick of my voice by now, but thatโ€™s too bad. You have to deal with it for eighteen years.โ€
You shook your head, a stupid smile on your face. Your cheeks hurt. Somehow, you just couldnโ€™t get enough of this boy.ย 
โ€œMommy says that Daddy is vain. Can you believe that? Me, of all people, vain. I mean, if you look as good as me one day, you will be, too,โ€ Haechan said exaggeratedly.
โ€œBabe, be careful what you tell our kids,โ€ you chastised.ย 
โ€œSheโ€™s scolding me now. Mommy can get scary when sheโ€™s angry, you know. You better not wind up on the receiving end of her wrath.โ€
You snorted.ย 
โ€œAnyways, all I really wanted to say is that Mommy and Daddy love you very much. We canโ€™t wait to see you,โ€ Haechan whispered. Your heart burst when he pressed his lips to your belly.
You just knew that he was the one for you.ย 
The rest of the vacation - or babymoon as your babiesโ€™ daddy enthusiastically dubbed it - was a breeze. Before you knew it, you were on a flight back home. Beach air and rushing water was over. And California had never been more foreign.ย 
Back in your own home, you spent your hours reminiscing in between yoga sessions. You were grateful that Jaehyun suggested the babymoon. It was a much needed period of relaxation to distract you from the looming disaster of childbirth.ย 
And you were sitting just at its door. Because your pregnancy was considered high-risk and you were not inclined to have a c-section delivery, your doctor recommended labor induction. When you didnโ€™t go into labor after twenty four hours, you started to feel unnerved.ย 
You had nightmares about what would happen if things went wrong sometimes. Your doctor and childbirth educator made sure that the risks were outlined and clear. One wrong move and you could lose your kids, not to mention that anything could happen to you.ย 
That was why Doctor Stakes wasnโ€™t willing to risk natural birth. Having twins alone constituted a high-risk pregnancy and they were actively monitoring your babies positions to make sure they werenโ€™t breech.
Haechan was restless, but he tried to keep it together for your sake. He called your name, hand in yours. โ€œBaby, I can feel you tensing. Breathe,โ€ he told you calmly.ย 
Your voice trembled, โ€œIโ€™m scared.โ€
โ€œI know. I am, too, but Iโ€™m right here with you. We can overcome anything as long as weโ€™re together.โ€
You bobbed your head and sucked in a breath. Had he not been there with you, it wouldโ€™ve been a hell of a lot scarier.ย 
An eternity and a half seemed to pass before you finally went into labor. The contractions started at a distance and you likened them to the preparation trials you endured during the second trimester. Then, they were shorter apart, and the pain intensified so much it felt as if there was no air.ย 
At the first nick of pain, you immediately pressed for an epidural. Your childbirth already wasnโ€™t natural. And if they thought you would be able to do this without medication, they completely overestimated you.
It took fifteen minutes for a nurse to administer the epidural and another fifteen for the effects to settle in. Haechan never let go of your hand unless he absolutely needed to and he was staring at you with a newfound respect. And his respect for you was already in the heavens.ย 
โ€œThis is crazy,โ€ you wheezed, pulse quickened.ย 
โ€œIt is,โ€ Haechan agreed. โ€œBut you can do this. Youโ€™re stronger than I ever have been.โ€
You tugged your lips into a smile. โ€œIโ€™ve been thinking about us. Instead of the risks and stuff.โ€
That was a pretty good idea. Haechan said, โ€œTalk to me. Tell me about it.โ€
โ€œWe got a new house, like I said. The kids are roughly five years old. Theyโ€™re helping you make omelets because you know that I like them. Thereโ€™s a cat. We let them name it. And Iโ€™m completely oblivious to whatโ€™s going on.โ€
Haechan snickered. That sounded like his offspring and he hadnโ€™t even met them yet.ย 
You added, โ€œI thought about something else. Thereโ€™s a private photoshoot. Youโ€™re the photographer, of course. The kids are in your leather jackets, but theyโ€™re oversized on them. The whole thing is so cute.โ€
Haechan kissed your cheek. His heart was thumping in his chest like a hammer and there was a sudden gush of warmth shooting through him. โ€œI bet it is. I can see it playing out in my head right now. We should have a shoot like that one day. With all of us in black leather.โ€
You chuckled. It was tempting.ย 
There was so much action in the room. People were moving from place to place to ensure that your babies were delivered safely. Your midwife assured you that the process was moving smoothly.ย 
With that out in the open, you could breathe a little easier. Though you and Haechan still had no intention of separating from each other. The nurses would have to forcibly pry him away from you.
โ€œItโ€™s time to push,โ€ came your midwifeโ€™s level voice.ย 
The nurses were helping you realize when you needed to push. The movements felt like a distant pressure in your lower back, courtesy of the epidural. None of what was happening to you seemed real and all left to ground you in reality was the knowledge that it was really happening.ย 
โ€œThis is happening,โ€ you said shakily. โ€œOh my god. This is actually happening.โ€
Haechan uttered the dreaded words, โ€œBabe, relax.โ€
โ€œNo! Iโ€™m never doing this again!โ€ you snapped dramatically, overwhelmed with all the motion. โ€œYou need to get a vasectomy!โ€
Haechan took your outburst in stride. โ€œIโ€™ll do anything you want.โ€
โ€œFuck,โ€ you exhaled, an invisible cool shiver running down your spine.ย 
The first push alone was exhausting. You started to feel lightheaded and as if you would faint from the pressure. There was a lull of relief when the nurse permitted you to take a break to regain strength.ย 
Tears stung your eyes. โ€œI canโ€™t do this.โ€
โ€œYes, you can,โ€ Haechan told you in a heartbeat.ย 
Your confidence in yourself started to dissipate, but with your faithful partner and a dedicated team of medical staff reassuring you through the process, you forced the negativity out of your head and focused on your children.ย 
โ€œAnother push,โ€ your midwife urged.ย 
You took one big, stabilizing breath before it was ripped out of your lungs again. Your legs had gone completely numb. There was still a slight degree of discomfort in your back that heightened a little with every push, but you winced your eyes closed and rid the thoughts.ย 
โ€œBreathe with me, baby,โ€ Haechan said during the next break.ย 
With what little strength you had, you nodded your head and followed his breathing patterns. Your heart seemed more tired than the rest of you as you physically shook. The blood was rushing through you to a painful degree.ย ย 
You squeezed Haechanโ€™s hand, which was what you had already been doing. His metacarpals were brave soldiers. โ€œTell me something.โ€
In typical Haechan fashion, he was cool as a cucumber. You would never guess that he was terrified for your life, but he pulled himself together. โ€œAnything?โ€
โ€œYes. Anything.โ€
โ€œWhen I was eleven, I wanted a leather jacket exactly like the black and red one Michael Jackson wore in Thriller,โ€ he confessed. โ€œThen, my mom got me one. And I hated it.โ€
Your brows furrowed. โ€œWhy?โ€ย 
โ€œIt was black and orange.โ€
You snickered. Now you were thinking about an angry little Haechan being a sulky and petulant mess.ย 
When it was time for the final shoves, you had just enough energy to will yourself to keep pushing. Your body was being put through the most gruesome test ever. But you kept the negativity to a minimum and thought only of your family for your own sanity.ย 
And then it was done. There were loud whimpers. Your baby girl was given to you first, followed by your son. You couldnโ€™t remember a time when you were more occupied with emotion.ย 
Haechan gawked in awe. For a moment he couldnโ€™t even believe that this wasnโ€™t just a dream and fought off tears the best he could. You, on the other hand, couldnโ€™t stop the tears blurring your vision. Your kids were here at last and they were the light of your life.ย 
The first hour was spent making plenty of skin-to-skin contact and bonding with your babies. Haechan was smiling so hard that his cheeks hurt. He was already obsessed with the tiny little humans heโ€™d helped make and all of your mutual sacrifice seemed so worth it.ย 
There were many things that had to happen before you could leave the hospital, but two days later, you were at home resting. Sleep was all you wanted (even though your vocal children had other plans). Which, after the exhausting process you endured only days before, was well-deserved.ย 
One week passed since you were discarded from the hospital. After a period spent catching up on rest to the best of your ability, you started to accept visitors. Chaewon and Jaemin, the wonderful godparents that they were, assisted with fielding phone calls and text messages from curious loved ones.ย 
The mood in your home was different the day you and Haechan allowed visitors. Your bedroom was like a club and Haechan was serving as a bouncer, letting them in one-by-one in case you got overwhelmed.ย 
Chaewon had seen the babies a little earlier than the others. She was your best friend, after all. โ€œTheyโ€™re so cute,โ€ sheโ€™d gushed.ย 
The babies in question were nested comfortably on your chest. They were also resting. There was a smile tugging at your lips, irresistible. Your heart was at peace.ย 
Ironically, Mark was the first to show up. Again. โ€œYo, yo, yo. Whereโ€™s my niece and nephew?โ€
โ€œShh. Theyโ€™re sleeping,โ€ Haechan scolded from the door.ย 
Markโ€™s eyes were wide, lips parted. โ€œThey must be sleepy, huh?โ€
You quipped, โ€œYeah. Apparently, wailing all night long is exhausting.โ€
โ€œI was thinking theyโ€™d be tired of Haechanโ€™s shit, but yeah, that checks out too,โ€ Mark retorted.ย 
Haechan cursed under his breath. Then, he said aloud, โ€œIf I wasnโ€™t a better man, I would pummel you to the ground.โ€
โ€œA better man, my ass,โ€ Mark taunted. His words were promptly followed by a gasp and he put his hands over his mouth. โ€œI meantโ€ฆ my butt.โ€
You giggled.ย 
Mark switched on a dime. Concern washed over his face, tenderness in his eyes. โ€œDude, are you okay, though? Like, pregnancy is huge. It had to be eventful.โ€
โ€œIt was a lot of things,โ€ you murmured, briefly bringing yourself back to that moment. You werenโ€™t going to miss it too much, but it was beautiful. โ€œI went through so many emotions. But Iโ€™m happy weโ€™re all here.โ€
Mark bobbed his head. โ€œYeah, I am, too.โ€
When he exited the room, Winter promptly entered. And she gasped at the first sight of your babies, eyes dampening. โ€œOh my god!โ€
Her reaction made you snicker. โ€œYes, I know. Theyโ€™re adorable.โ€
โ€œUnderstatement of the year,โ€ she drawled. โ€œThese are by far the cutest kids Iโ€™ve ever seen in my life.โ€
You grinned. โ€œThanks.โ€
Jaemin poked around the corner. Much like Chaewon, he had already seen your babies and spoken to them, cooing and babbling. โ€œSomebodyโ€™s sleepy,โ€ he retorted.ย 
You bobbed your head. โ€œThey should be.โ€
Jaemin didnโ€™t miss a beat, โ€œGuess they got sick of putting up with this guy.โ€
Haechanโ€™s eyes narrowed and he hissed, โ€œYouโ€™re late. Mark already made that joke.โ€
Winter giggled. You stifled one on your boyfriendโ€™s behalf.ย 
There was a gap in between the next visits large enough for you to take a nap and you didnโ€™t rouse until shortly before your fifth visitor.ย 
f
As if it wasnโ€™t obvious, you ignored Jenoโ€™s nervousness. He looked a little surprised, lips parted when he caught a glimpse of your kids from the door. After he made small talk with Haechan, he entered and said, โ€œWow.โ€
Your babies were awake now. And surprisingly calm. For now. โ€œI know.โ€
Jeno cleared his throat. โ€œTheyโ€™re beautiful. Congratulations, both of you.โ€
โ€œThank you,โ€ you whispered, staring adoringly at your kids.ย 
Jeno searched tirelessly for things to say. He didnโ€™t want the wrong words to come out of his mouth, but you personally inviting him over shocked him. He asked, โ€œHow was labor?โ€
โ€œLaborious,โ€ you replied dryly.ย 
Jeno snorted.ย 
Haechan wasnโ€™t shy to brag, โ€œShe was a champ. Iโ€™ve never been more proud.โ€
Your face was warm. And so was your heart.ย 
โ€œIโ€™m sure she was,โ€ Jeno said, gleaming.ย 
You tilted your head. โ€œWould you like to hold one of them?โ€
Jeno gawked. โ€œCan I?โ€
You nodded.ย 
โ€œOkay. Yeah, sure,โ€ Jeno stammered out.ย 
Glancing down at your son, you cooed, โ€œYou wanna go to Uncle Jeno? Yeah?โ€
Shock flickered over Jenoโ€™s face, as if he couldnโ€™t believe the words leaving your mouth. With maternal cautiousness, you handed him your closest child, which happened to be your son. Jeno watched for his head without having to be instructed, holding your baby as if he would shatter.ย 
These babies were a part of you and Haechan, and Jeno swore that if there was anything you ever needed him to do for them, he wouldnโ€™t hesitate to come running.ย 
โ€œHi,โ€ Jeno greeted, smiling at your son. โ€œYouโ€™re really lucky, you know. You have the best mom and dad on the whole planet.โ€
You smiled softly.
โ€œAm Iโ€ฆ,โ€ Ryujin trailed, strolling down the hallway. Imagine her shock when she noticed Jeno standing there. โ€œLate?โ€
Jeno cleared his throat. โ€œRyujin.โ€
Ryujinโ€™s arms folded. โ€œJeno.โ€
โ€œYou look good,โ€ Jeno said, mouth suddenly dry.ย 
Ryujin was eyeing him, skeptical, as if she still didnโ€™t trust him. But you could see the sadness in her stare. โ€œYou, too,โ€ she replied quietly.ย 
Jeno gently placed your son back in your arms, making sure he was secure before he released his grip.ย 
โ€œWe forgive him, Ryujin,โ€ Haechan said, even if it took months.ย 
Ryujinโ€™s eyes flickered. Jeno stepped in front of her and glanced at the floor. If there was something he wanted to tell her, he lacked the courage.ย 
โ€œLook me in the eyes.โ€
Jeno did it. He would do anything to make his mistakes up to the people he owed to.ย
