"… coming round now, Jungkook, can you hear us?"
Jungkook's clouded vision slowly cleared and the vague outlines of the white-clad figure formed into a doctor. He was smiling reassuringly, he remembered that this man was Hoseok’s other husband.
‘Wait. Dr Kim? Wha... Hospital? He was in the hospital?'
Automatically the omega's eyes widened with the thought, he panicked.
"It’s all right, Jungkook. You had a nasty fall, but you’re all right now. We’ve had to keep you sedated for a few days, to give your body time to rest. We've performed some tests, so you’re bound to feel woozy and confused. Just relax, please."
‘Relax!?’
Jungkook put his hand on top of the flat white sheet that pulled tightly over his body, it attached the omega to some kind of drip.
"My baby?" the omega demanded anxiously, the pain was all-encompassing, Jungkook had let his baby down.
The alpha doctor looked at him calmly but then Jungkook’s brain was running the worst-case scenario in his head, he had lost his baby, his fall, the omega remembered it now, had killed his baby.
Jungkook hadn’t protected it properly, either from his fall or from its father’s rejection.
The omega felt too numb with the onset of grief to cry.
Jin patted his hand and sympathetically smiled at him, "Your baby is fine, Jungkook."
Jungkook looked at him in disbelief, "You’re just telling me that, aren’t you? I’ve lost the baby, haven’t I?"
"I think I should let you have a look. I will take you for a scan to see for yourself that your baby is perfectly well."
An hour later Jungkook was back in his hospital room, still gazing in awed delight at the small image given, an image which revealed that his baby was indeed safe.
‘My baby’s safe.’
"You and your baby have both been very lucky," Jin told him when he came in a few minutes later, "You sustained a nasty head injury. After that you’re taken into the villa’s clinic, the attending physician feared that a blood clot had developed. It meant that they would have to terminate your pregnancy. Alpha Taehyung refused to give his consent to the procedure, so he arranged for you to be brought here to Asan Medical Center in Seoul, he even considered bringing another specialist from Japan to treat you. Your alpha said that you would never forgive him and himself if your pregnancy had to be ended."
"By the way, your husband will be here soon," Jin continued, "Initially he insisted on staying here with you but I told him to go home and get some rest once you were in the clear."
As though on cue the door to his room opened, Taehyung was standing by the foot of the omega’s bed. Discreetly Jin smiled and patted the alpha on the shoulder and walked out of the room, leaving them alone.
"The twins…," Jungkook began anxiously.
"They know you had a fall, they were playing in the garden when it happened and that you had to come to the hospital to be 'cured.' They’re anxious and miss you but Hoseok and Namjoon are doing their best to keep them occupied."
"Dr Kim was just telling me that because of you… I still have my baby."
"Our baby," Taehyung corrected quietly.
Jungkook looked down on his still flat stomach, caressing the tiny bump, he didn’t know what to say or think, his emotions did both for him as tears slid down his face.
"Jungkook, don’t," Taehyung begged, "When I saw you falling down those steps I knew that no matter what I’d said or what I thought I’d believed - I love you. I knew that since last night when we spent hours making love, but I told myself that letting go of my doubts must be a slow and measured process. I blinded myself to what was real, I needed to believe the worst of you, because of my fear and my pride... You and our child almost lost your lives.”
Taehyung's grip on his omega's hand tightened and continued, "An accident that resulted from my refusal to accept what you were trying to tell me. Can you forgive me, Jungkook?"
