One Step Closer - PART 1

One Step Closer - 162💕

Jungkook hugged her gently from the side. He could tell it wasn't just one thing that was bothering her. It was a combination of a lot of things. "Mom, what can we do to make you feel better? Should we call Papa Park? Maybe you will feel better once you talk to him?"

"I don't know," she sniffled.

"He's so anxious. You have to tell him one way or another. He's worried sick about you," Jungkook said. "Or do you need more time?" He glanced at Jia.

"We can buy you more time if you're not ready," Jia said. "You don't have to stress about telling him right away."

Mrs. Park shook her head. "I never hide anything from him. I'm not good at hiding and he always knows when something is wrong with me. He's probably feeling my anxiety."

Jia nodded. "Then you should call him in and have a private chat. A mate's presence can help calm your wolf and ease your fears."

She nodded reluctantly. "Okay."

Jia washed her hands and rang the nurse to let Mr. Park inside. However, the door opened and two stressed out alpha males barged in.

"How is she?" Mr. Park barked.

"Is she alright?" Jimin asked. "Mom, are you okay?"

Jungkook stepped out of the divider to hush his alpha. "She's fine."

"What is it? What happened? Is she sick?" Jimin shot him with several questions. "Why did she faint?"

Jungkook smiled, glancing at Jia.

"She's perfectly fine, Jimin. Mr. Park, you can go see her. She needs you," Jia said. "Jimin, come take a seat."

Mr. Park rushed to his wife's side immediately. Hushed voices could be heard from behind the screen.

The alpha didn't move from his spot, looking tense and anxious. "Noona, why did she faint?" Jimin asked. "Is her report alright? This isn't something serious, right?"

Jia smiled. "It's the stress, Jimin. You have nothing to worry about. I'm still waiting for the blood reports but otherwise there are no complications. She's good to go home."

"Oh."

The omega pursed his lips, stifling the smile. He wondered how Jimin would react when he found out the truth.

Jimin looked at Jungkook expectantly. "What is it? Why are you smiling?"

Jungkook pursed his lips. "Wait for a moment," he chided. "You need to wait for your turn."

"My turn?" Jimin blinked owlishly.

"What?" Mr. Park gasped from behind the screen. Before Jungkook could stop him Jimin was already storming over.

"What? What happened?" he demanded in a panicked voice.

Mr. Park turned around, holding the ultrasound picture in trembling hands. "I...I...I'm..."

"Y-You're what?" Jimin snatched the ultrasound from his father.

"You're going to be a big brother," Jungkook announced cheerfully. "Mom is going to become a mom for the second time."

"Huh?" Jimin stared at the ultrasound, tilting it this side and that.

Jungkook pointed at the small bean in the ultrasound. "That one. Eight weeks."

"Wow..." Jimin whispered. "This one is so tiny."

Mrs. Park had her face covered in both her hands, her skin flushed red. Her scent had shifted from that of distress to embarrassment and a bit of a flustered mess. Mr. Park's scent was shifting between joy, shock and pride. He looked too stunned to speak.
