The worst kind of pain is when you're smiling just to stop the tears from falling.

Taehyung's POV

Today is one of the most exciting days that I have been looking forward to for a long time now. Amy will have her scan today, and the doctor informed us earlier that we could probably find out what baby we would have soon.

Waking up early feeling thrilled and fully charged up, I turned to look at Amy sleeping cuddled up to me. She always slept on her side these days since my mom told her that it was safer for the baby.

Her bare body was curled up like a shrimp, and I slowly straightened her out a bit and covered her with the blanket, tracing her outer thigh with the back of my hand in the process. Moving away some hair strands from her face and softly stroking her head thereafter, I lay down beside her admiring her eyelashes when they fluttered, and Amy opened her eyes.

"Morning, baby!" I smiled big.

She squinted, her eyes struggling to open.
"Tae, you're up already? Morning, honey..." she stretched and yawned sleepily, her voice scratchy and hoarse.

"Yeah, I'm excited about today. Are you excited too?" I asked flashing a big smile and scooting close to her to snuggle.

"Of course, Tae. I'm excited too. You want a boy, don't you?" She winked and smiled at me, wrapping an arm around my torso.

"I think it might be a boy... but I'll be super happy if it's a girl too. I want her to look like you and have your doe eyes and beautiful lashes and silky hair," I said, stroking her hair softly and kissing her forehead.

"Tae, I want the baby to look like you. I mean wouldn't it be a dream come true to have Taehyung and a Taehyung look-alike son or daughter? My eyes will be blessed," she acted all cute.

"Amy, you're making me blush" I laughed, feeling all blushy.

"I mean it..." she smiled softly, and I wrapped my arms tight around her, pecking her lips a few times.

"Let's eat something? I'll cook today," I announced.

"I'll help, Tae... give me ten minutes," Amy got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

After breakfast, we got dressed and reached the hospital on time, and we were escorted straight to the doctor's office without any delay.

"Hello, Amy and Taehyung. How have you been?" Dr. Kang greeted us politely.

"We're good..." we both nodded, smiling.

"So, Amy's fifth-month ultrasound will be done today. And you're completing 21 weeks, so, if you're lucky, we can find out the baby's gender too," she informed us and smiled brightly.

We both smiled and nodded, I was excited and anticipation rapidly filled up my chest, making my heart pound faster and louder.

The nurse took Amy into the scan table, and the doctor, and I followed. She was getting the regular abdomen scan done these days since there was adequate water in the womb. We exchanged nervous smiles.

The doctor squeezed a lot of lube on the probe and placed it on Amy's tiny baby belly. She always told me that it felt very cold, and I felt it by seeing how her body stiffened for a brief while before relaxing again. Holding her foot, I stood by for support.

Dr. Kang moved the probe around and clicked some measurements on the screen before turning around to look at us.

"The baby's growth is all fine. Heartbeat is good. Doing great. So, what baby do you think you're having? Turtle or hamburger?" She quizzed me with a smile, her eyebrows wiggling up and down.
