Jungkook looked at the boxes and bags piled up on the bed and resisted the urge to push them on the floor and lie down. He was exhausted after shopping all afternoon with his mother in law for a layette .His feet and back ached a lot.
Kicking of his shoes ,he eased himself down on the edge of the bed and began emptying the shopping bags. He never thought that he would ever get the privilege to go for baby shopping.All his pregnancies had never passed the second trimester but there he was already in his third trimester. It was indeed a miracle.
It would only take a minute to empty the bags and then he would be done. Jungkook knew he shouldn't complain. His pregnancy was going smoothly. Namjoon was still supportive as he was from the start and he hadn't seen Taehyung 's shadow at all.
Jungkook clutched his stomach as a stab of pain shot through to his back. The baby had been in a good position, now he felt it sumersaulting inside him.Sometimes he felt as though it was doing jumping jacks in there,quite an athlete he had gotten there.
At the moment he desperately needed to lie down so he screwed the bed and went over to the couch. He felt super exhausted.
He had only manage to unpack only a few things. All of them so tiny and doll like.He couldn't fathom a real human being wearing them.
More tired than he realized he slept through dinner.
The next morning he unfortunately bumped into Taehyung. He didn't even spare him a glance as he went about his day. Moodswings were slightly getting the better of him.
Taehyung then went to his mother who was in the kitchen with confusion in his eyes.
"Mom is Jungkook alright ?"
"Why are you suddenly worried about him "
"I'm just concerned. His belly looks weird as if its swollen "
"He is pregnant you dumb ass"Hyuna blurted out before taking in Taehyung 's perplexed gaze.
"That wasn't supposed to slip up"
"You mean I wasn't supposed to know? He is such a weirdo. It that why hyung needs him. To have his babies? "Taehyung mocked incredulously.
"That's not the case. Namjoon didn't know that Jungkook was capable of conceiving from the start "
"But why did he get pregnant now. Maybe he wants to keep his place in this family so he wouldn't be kicked out "Taehyung mocked.
"I too was suprised. They said they would stop after two miscarriages but this time lucky was on their side. This time we might actually get to hear a baby crying in this house "
"You mean they had already tried twice already. What was the rush anyways.Don't you think maybe that it was some kind of curse.Is that why hyung kept me away. Did he think I would kill him or something.He needs to give me a break. I won't ever waste any of my time on him "
"Taehyung stop sprouting and just be happy for your brother for once. Jungkook has gone through a lot "Hyuna said as she looked up towards Jungkook who was coming into the kitchen.
"Mother, I'm going out "he said flatly.
"Why?You are supposed to stay home remember? "she reminded sternly.
"I want to go and see how my replacement at the kindergarten is holding things. After that Namjoon will come a take me to the hospital from there "
"The driver isn't home so Taehyung will drive you there "she offered.
"No , I will go on my own "Jungkook protested.
Taehyung laughed grimly "Don't be stubborn, Jungkook "
Anguish filled Jungkook 's wide brown eyes.
He struggled to get into the car.Something he had never done.Maybe he was just getting overweight. He opted for the backseat because their auras needed their pace.
Jungkook couldn't fathom how Taehyung was looking at him. Amusement, fascination, disgust?
He decided to sleep his thoughts away. Soon enough he had arrived and mentally sighed in relief. Taehyung went back home with the car.
Jungkook 's mood got much better as he saw the kids. He also turned into a kid admist them. An hour later Namjoon came to pick his up for his check up. Jungkook couldn't hide his guilty whenever Namjoon was with him. He probably deserves a whole lot better than him.
When the doctor announced that they were having a girl Namjoon was more thrilled than Jungkook. Everything regarding the baby made his heart clench a whole lot.Their joy was soon short-lived by what the doctor had to say next.
She displayed the current sonogram on the monitor so they could get to see clearly.
"You guys are gonna have to listen to me carefully.There is a hole at the back of the baby 's diaghphram. She will need surgery or she won't be able to breathe all her life. We could have waited until she comes to term in order to perform the surgery but your uterus is weak and might rapture before that "
Namjoon looked hopelessly at Jungkook who displayed no emotion.
"So basically I'm saying you need to have a c-section as soon as possible and today is more recomendable .Soon after delivery her surgery will be done by specialists. After that she will be incubated since she is premature. I hope you guys have understood me.Don't panic. I can assure you that your baby will be in safe hands "
"If that's the only way then I guess it will have to be done"
"Great before that we need to give you a Labour inducing drug before the c-section so it will be less dangerous. "
"I understand. "Jungkook whispered weakly. He never thought that an illegitimate child could give him so much trouble .
When the doctor left there was dead silence until Namjoon spoke up.
"I guess we will have to think of names in the meantime. I will call up mom and Taehyung. They need to be here "
"Taehyung? "Jungkook choked.
"Jungkook if we excluded him from this then mom will raise some suspicions.It's not like we will be telling him the truth or anything. Just chill "
"I trust you "
A nurse then came and told Jungkook to go and change into the hospital gown.
He got into the bed and an IV was connected to his arm.It was the Labour inducing drug.
Namjoon then lovingly pressed his hand over Jungkook 's bump.
"Just hang on there princess. You are strong and you are a fighter "he mumbled.
"I think I'm gonna die"Jungkook cried.
"Is it already taking effect? "
"Yeah "Jungkook swallowed dryly as a gush of water drenched over him.
"I will go and call mom"
☆♡
"Taehyung we have to go to the hospital"Hyuna panicked.
"Who died mom "
"Don't you say such inauspicious words .You might just be an uncle today "
"It is already due"
"No,there was some complications and Jungkook is about to go through forced labour "
"Okay, let's go.It might be serious then. "
When Taehyung and Hyuna arrived at the hospital Jungkook was already in the OT.They both joined Namjoon is impatiently pacing the hallway of the maternity ward.
About an hour later Jungkook was brought out and Namjoon went to check up on him. He was still unconscious.
The baby didn't come out instead more doctors rushed in there making the other three panic. It was initially code blue.
