Becoming Parents [namjin] ✔️

.29

As soon as she said that, of course I fucking panicked, my baby doesn't have a heartbeat?! Who wouldn't panic?

"W-What?!" Both me and Namjoon yelled.

The nurse looked nervous now. "W-Wait, I-I'll be right back, let me get a second opinion." She said, rushing out of the room.

A lot of thoughts ran through my head. Was it stress? Was it something I did that I don't know about? Did having very gentle sex with my husband last night kill the baby?

Before I could think of anything else, another nurse rushed in and took over, checking to confirm if the baby had a heartbeat or not. The nurse pressed a button and before I knew it, I heard the one thing I needed to hear.

A heartbeat.

The nurse turned around at the other nurse, glaring at her. The nurse looked at the second nurse with so much fear in her eyes, knowing she was about to get in trouble.

"I'll speak to you later, I think there's some paperwork out front that needs finished." The second nurse said, trying to stay professional, but it was obvious that she was furious.

The nurse ran out of there so quickly, she almost tripped running out of the door.

The second nurse was extremely apologetic and explained to us that the nurse just started working here a week ago and this is the third time she has told someone that their baby doesn't have a heartbeat.

Everything looked good with the baby, which was all I wanted to hear right now. We got some pictures of the baby and we were out of there. I texted Minhyuk if the boys had lunch yet, which he replied back saying they didn't, so I made Namjoon stop somewhere to get the boys some chicken strips and French fries.

————————————————————

"Yeah, once they saw the play room, they've been in there even since." Minhyuk said once we arrived there to pick up the boys.

I walked to the play room and sure enough, the boys were playing with Jooheon and Changkyun. It was nice to see them playing and just being kids, especially Yoongi, he never ever lets his guard down completely, but I don't blame him for it, I completely understand.

"Hey boys." I said, smiling at them.

"Mr. Jin!" Hoseok being the first one to run to me, the twins following behind him and Yoongi not being far behind them either.

"Mommy!" Jungkook shouted excitedly before coming over to hug my leg.

I smiled at them. "Did all of you have fun?" I asked them.

"Yeah! I had fun! We played hide and seek and I won!" Jimin said cheerfully.

"You did?!" I said, acting surprised. "That's great, Jimin!" I said, ruffling his hair.

"A-A-And t-t-they're sssso n-n-nice to me, t-t-they don't mmmake fun o-o-of me a-a-and the w-w-way I-I talk." Taehyung said with a smile.

"Yeah, they're nice boys." I told him, ruffling his hair too.

"Can we come back here again?" Hoseok asked me.

"We'll see, okay?" I said before looking at Yoongi. "Everything okay, sweetheart?"

Yoongi nodded quickly and stayed quiet. I knew something was wrong, but decided to talk to him about it when we got home.

After talking to Minhyuk for a few minutes, I walked the boys to the car and made sure they were in there safely before getting in the car and allowing Namjoon to drive us back home.

Once we were home, I let the boys play in the living room, but pulled Yoongi to the laundry room, so we could be alone and talk. I know he wouldn't talk to me if his brothers were around.

"I noticed you were quiet when I came to pick you and your brothers up, and you were very quiet on the ride home, is everything okay? Did something happen?" I asked him.

He bit his lip, looking down at the floor while playing with his shirt sleeves.

"Were Jooheon and Changkyun mean to you?"

"No... they were nice." He said softly.

"Then what's wrong, sweetheart? I can't help you if you don't tell me what's going on." I said softly.

He was silent for a moment, but then finally spoke up. "Today, I got to play with everyone and it was fun." He started, but the stopped to think of more to say. "I never get to play all the time, because I have to be the big brother and take care of my brothers." He said, playing with his sleeves nervously. "Sometimes I don't want to be the big brother, I want to play hide and seek and play tag too." He said to me.

I understood what he was trying to say. From what I can imagine, Yoongi had to be the one to take care and protect his brothers, while his mother was too busy living the life of a drug addict and a bad mother in general, he's never had a chance to just be a kid.

I took his hands gently and looked at him with a comforting smile. "As long as you live here, you can play and have fun, let me and Mr. Joon worry about taking care and protecting you and your brothers." I told him.

Yoongi started tearing up and sniffled a little. "B-But what if they get hurt? W-What if someone hurts them and I'm not there to save them? W-What if-"

"Shhh.." I said as I pulled him in to hug him tightly. "If they get hurt, Mr. Joon and I will be there to make it all better. If someone hurts any of you, they'll have to deal with me." I said as I rub his back soothingly. "It's okay to protect your brothers, but don't make it your job, sometimes you have to let them fall and see what they do on their own." I told him, pulling away and wiping his tears away. "It's going to take a lot of practice, but Mr. Joon and I are always here to help you if you need it." He said with a soft smile.

He nodded and give my hands a squeeze. "Can I go play now?" He asked.

"Of course you can. Remember, let me and Mr. Joon worry about everything, okay?" I told him before kissing his forehead.

He nodded and walked out of the laundry room with me, walking ahead of me and soon going over to where Jimin was, who was playing with a toy microphone and quietly singing into it. He grabbed another toy microphone and started singing with him.

It's gonna take awhile before Yoongi starts being more independent, but seeing him do this is a start in the right direction.

Here's another long chapter for all of you, I felt bad for leaving all of you on a cliffhanger, so I decided to write this to make up from it :)

Also, I saw that many of you wanted the sequel. I have an idea on what I want to do, but I won't be 100% sure until this story is almost over.
