Amy's POV

I felt a rush of emotions when Taehyung told me that I was pregnant. I couldn't believe my ears.

Is it true?

My tears that never stopped fell even faster now.

It should have been me who discovered it first and shared the news with him. But life did this to us. Wait! I was hit and thrown by the speeding car!

"Is the baby okay now, Taehyung? I got hit and thrown to the ground," I panicked, fearing for the safety of the little life growing within me, already feeling a sense of responsibility and belongingness taking root within my heart towards the tiny person that I hadn't even met yet. The little life that we made together.

He stroked my face softly and said,
"The baby is perfectly fine. Do you know there's a heartbeat already? I'm so thrilled," Taehyung spoke excitedly, and his eyes welled up with fresh tears. My shoulders shook as I was smiling and crying at the same time, and so was Taehyung.

"Amy, I love you, baby. Thank you for enduring. Thank you for coming back to me," he spoke through his tears.

"I love you, Taehyung," I said, my voice sounding horribly hoarse.

"So now we know why you were sick every morning. This little one wanted to be noticed" he said rubbing my tummy gently, wiping off his tears with the back of his other hand.

I chuckled weakly and held his hand tight. Taehyung bent and kissed my forehead and my lips, and the nurse entered just then.

"I'm sorry to interrupt. But, sir, you need to sign the papers. We'll be taking the patient to the operating room now," she bowed and announced politely.

Taehyung and I looked at each other.

"Amy, don't worry, baby. I'm here for you. You'll be fine. You both will be fine. I'll wait for you. Fighting! Okay?" He fisted his hands and shook them in the air and smiled his cute smile, doing everything within his power to make me feel at ease.

"Okay, Taehyung. Please inform Jay," I smiled at him, and he nodded and kissed me one last time before leaving the room.

I felt drowsy and weak, and my mouth tasted like metal, but I was excited, too. I was nervous as well, worried about what would happen next.

Is it okay to get operated when pregnant? Is Taehyung really okay with the pregnancy? He seemed happy and thrilled. Am I ready for it? How would we handle it?

A strong throb began pounding within my skull, and I felt nauseous as I was wheeled in to the preparation room where some medicines were injected into my vein after which I knew or felt nothing.

Taehyung's POV

I was informed that the surgery went well and, after about three hours, Amy was shifted to the recovery room where she was still sleeping. I was only allowed to look at her from outside.

It was way past midnight and almost time for daybreak, and I felt hungry, exhausted and sleepy.

I called the driver and told him to get me some food since I didn't want to leave the hospital. After downing the cup-ramen he brought for me, which was the only food available for sale at this ungodly hour, I texted Jay from Amy's phone.

Amy:
Hi Jay. Taehyung here.

Amy:
Amy had an accident at Jeju and we're in the hospital right now.
