"What is it, love?" He asked, worried out of his mind as he walked into the bedroom, not even knocking. She was stood there, half dressed as he watched her face scrunch in pain.

"Hey little suk, what's up?" Hye-won entered the room too. Suki didn't acknowledge her as she looked directly at In-ho. His face dropped. He knew.

"Uh — I think you were right." Her voice was shaky.

"What do you mean?" He questioned, but he knew. He knew deep down what she meant.

"My waters just broke." She said plainly as she sat on the edge of the bed, her hands gripping the sheet as she felt uncomfortable once more.

"What?" He blinked, in disbelief.

"Okay, okay right. Let's not panic." Hye-won looked between them both.

"I wasn't panicking." Suki snapped back. "Sorry Hye-won. I didn't mean it like that." Suki apologised as her sister gave a warm smile.

"I should come back another time." Hye-won spoke as she began to retreat out of the bedroom.

"We'll see you another time, yeah?" In-ho smiled as Suki sat on the edge of the bed, unable to talk as she breathed deeply. Hye-won nodded as his attention went back to Suki. The door closed as they were alone once more.

"Fucking hell." Suki gritted her teeth. "Pass my phone, please." She pointed to the device on the bedside drawer.

"Here, here. Do you need anything?" He handed it to her as he sat down next to her, rubbing small circles on her back as she held onto his thigh, gripping lightly. He didn't care if it hurt, she needed all the support right now.

"Just be by my side. That's all I need." She asked as she began to dial the number.

"I didn't plan on leaving." He pulled her in closer, her head falling to his chest as he placed feathered kisses to the top of her head.

The phone rang for only a few seconds as Suki placed her on loud speaker, the phone falling to her lap below. "Gyu-ri speaking. Suki, is everything okay?" The midwife asked as she took a deep breath.

"No." Suki chuckled cautiously as she could feel the lingering pain. It didn't disappear this time.

"What's up?" The midwife asked.

"Oh...my waters just broke." The pain started to become stronger. Another contraction.

"Okay, and how far apart are your contractions?" The midwife asked as Suki could almost hear her concern on the other side of the phone.

"I haven't really been timing as I didn't think I was in labour but I'd estimate every 6-7 minutes." She gave a nervous chuckle as the midwife left out a gasp.

"Right, hospital now please. No if's or buts. As you're in premature labour I need to start monitoring you and both the babies as soon as possible. If you don't have someone to drive you please phone for an ambulance." She gave clear instructions as In-ho looked at her concerned. He just knew. He knew they needed to go to the hospital.

"Okay, we will be there shortly." Suki confirmed as they hung up the phone. Suki removed herself from In-ho's grip as she let herself fall backwards onto the bed. "Fucking hell In-ho. It's really happening."
