Gulf's POV
I don't even know if it's gonna be alright or not. I step on gas pedal. My car leaves our house in high speed. Win keeps mumbling and calling me and his dada. My tears fall continuously from my eyes. It doesn't take a long time. Finally, we arrive at hospital.
I carry Win in my arms and go to emergency room. Two nurses help me immediately. One of the nurse leads us to an empty bed while the other one calls doctor. I sit on the edge of the bed, still hugging my baby. She takes my baby's temperature. But, apparently, his temperature is a bit higher since the last time I checked it. This hurts me so much. Like something squeezes my heart. I burst into tears again. I'm so stupid! I should bring him to hospital earlier.
"Momo is sorry naa, baby~ sob... Momo is sorry naaa~"
A doctor comes to us. He checks on Win and tells me that Win should be given IV and observed for the next hours. Hearing that feels like my whole world collapses. He's just a little boy. It will really hurt for him. But, I don't have other choice, except nodding at him. I hold his hand and stroke his hair.
"Don't too worried about his fever, nong Gulf. Your baby is going to be fine. We will move him to a room later."
I lift my face. I didn't expect that he was the one who examined my baby. I'm too focused on my baby until I don't realize who is coming. He is P'Boss, khun phi's friend. P'Boss and khun phi has been friends since a long time ago. He is also pediatrician, like khun phi.
"Thank you, phi..."
"Have you told P'Mew? I think he has finished his surgery. Or, you want me to call him?"
"Yes, phi. I left my phone on my car."
"Okay!"
P'Boss leaves us and nurse comes to inject IV. She takes out a small needle. When the sharp needle makes contact with my baby's skin, he cries so loud even he isn't fully conscious. I hold his small body, so the nurse can do her job quickly. She is done with her job. I thank her and she continues her other job.
Mew's POV
I run to emergency room as fast as I can when Boss came and told me about Win's condition. I arrive at the department in no time. It is still crowded from last accident. I walk through each bed. My steps stop when I hear a familiar voice. I gulp. I approach the bed.
I see owner of the voice. He sobs beside the bed while holding that tiny hand. My whole world freezes. I see my little baby laying on hospital bed. It breaks my heart into pieces. I put my hands on his shoulders.
"Yai nong..."
His head leans on my waist. "Khun phi... sobs... I'm very afraid..."
"Don't be afraid, yai nong... Win will be alright...", I stroke his hair.
"Really?", he says as he lifts his face up.
"Yes, baby~ Now, stop crying or baby Win will cry if he knows his momo is crying...", I wipe his tears and kiss his forehead.
My baby nods. Actually, my tears also nearly fall. But, I hold it with all my might. I have to be strong for my yai nong. He must be really afraid. Also, he was alone at home without no one helped him. On top of that, finding transportation at this hour is not easy, except he is... d-driving?!

I walk back from parking lot where yai nong's car was parked. He told me everything about he drove to hospital. I was totally shocked. I was speechless. I couldn't say anything, except thanking god for protecting them from any bad. It feels magical for me. His fear, his trauma, were defeated by mother's love for his baby.
I enter emergency room. My baby's bed is visited by several nurses who look panicked. I run there as I thought something happens with my baby. Win is crying loudly. A nurse holds him and soothes him. How shocked I am to see yai nong unconscious. I carry him to an empty bed next to my baby's bed. One of the nurse closes the curtain.
I take my stethoscope and check on his vital sign. He has a slight fever. His heartbeat is too weak. Why he suddenly lose his consciousness? Slight fever won't make him pass out like this. I try to press his stomach. Instead of getting answer, I feel something weird. His belly isn't as soft as usual. I-is he pregnant? I'm getting suspicious. I raise his t-shirt. I gasp. His belly indeed gets bigger. I put my stethoscope to his exposed belly. But, I don't hear anything.
"Please call doctor Krist from ob-gyn!"
Fortunately, Krist has night shift, so he stays at hospital. In no time, Krist arrives breathlessly. He must be run from his office. Also, he is shocked to see me and Gulf.
"What... gasp... happen... gasp... phi? I... gasp... think... gasp... it's emergency..."
"This is really emergency, Krist! He suddenly fainted and looks at his belly!"
"Oi~ Oi~ Calm down, khun! I'll check him first. And, can you please go and calm your baby? He is crying non-stop."
Right! My baby! I forget about him. I go to next bed. He makes a grabby hand to me. I sit on the bed and tap his back.
"Shhh... Don't cry, baby... If momo sees his beloved baby is crying, momo will be sad too... Dada is sad too if dada's baby is crying like this... shhhh... Don't cry naa~"
He hides his face on my chest. He sobs there silently until he falls asleep. I check on him. His face is wet. His cheeks is also pinkish. I put him back to bed when Krist calls me. I kiss his forehead before I move to their place. Suddenly, Krist hugs me. I'm confused. Is my hunch true?
"Congratulations, P'Mew! Your wifey is pregnant!"
My eyes widen. I separate our hug. "Really? You aren't kidding, right? He is pregnant?"
"I won't joke about something like this!"
"Then, how is his condition? Why is his heartbeat too weak?"
"Maybe, he is taking too much stress recently. Also, he is too tired. However, he will be fine after taking some rest. Right, phi! He has miscarriage before. So, it's a bit risky. My advice is don't let him taking too much stress and don't let him work too hard. As for his daily check-up, I'll schedule it up later when he gets proper check on my office."
"I understand. Thank you so much, Krist!"
"You're welcome, phi! I'll go now if you don't have other questions. Don't forget to meet me on my office later when Gulf wakes up. Congratulations once again, phi!", Krist leaves us and nurse opens the curtains again.
My hand rests on his coconut milk tummy. Or, I should say it baby bump now. Hahaha! I smile widely. I feel like all the flowers in this world are in bloom as I hear of his pregnancy. I kiss his belly where my baby stays. "Dada can't wait to meet you, baby~", I whisper.
I take a seat between their beds, waiting for these two sleeping baby to wake up. Even I'm really tired from my surgery earlier, but they swipe away my tiredness and sleepiness.

Boss checks on Win again after few hours. He says that Win's condition is very good and can go home. The infusion has also been removed. Haaaa... I can relax now. We only need to wait for yai nong to wake up. I'm so grateful. God really blesses our family. My baby is back healthy. Yai Nong has been free from his trauma. Also, we will have little angel coming in a few months.
It's been morning. I look at my baby who play in my laps. He plays with my tablet and keeps moving. I need to be very cautious or else he might fall from here. I chuckle. He becomes energetic again after his fever is gone. I haven't told him about his future younger sibling. How would he react? Will he be happy?
"Baby Win, dada will tell you a secret. You want to know it?"
All his attention is immediately on me. "Ciklet? Wat is de ciklet, dada? Win wan tu nyow~ (Secret? What is the secret, Dada? Win want to know~)"
"Now, there is a baby in momo's tummy...", I try to tell him.
"O, yili? (Oh, really?)"
"Yes, baby. He will be your little brother and you will be his big brother. You'll be his phi. Everyday, you..."
He suddenly cut my words. I hold my breath. Cold sweat poured from my forehead. Will he be able to accept the presence of a younger sibling after all this time being the center of our attention?
========================================
What will our little Win say?
Will he be happy or not about his younger sibling?
Let's find it out on the next chapter~
See you, guys!
