Love Conquers All? (StrayTEEZ Fanfic)

I'm Sorry pt. 2

Hongjoong's POV:

I walk into the bathroom as he's on his knees with his right hand against the back of the toilet and the left one on the floor for stability. I kneel next to him and just rub his back as his stomach spasms gradually slow down. He just stays there panting and slightly sobbing from the experience. He sniffles a few times while trying to regulate himself. He then flushes the toilet once he feels like there's nothing going on anymore. He releases everything allowing me to catch him while he's still softly panting. I kiss his forehead before straining to reach for the bag of wipes behind us. I wipe his mouth and then his face and hands.

As he tries to get up, I act as his support system. He approaches the sink and takes a mouthful of mouthwash. He begins brushing his teeth while I pack up his toiletry bag. When he's done rinsing off his toothbrush, he fans it to get water off of it before placing it in its case and then placing it into the bag.

"Thanks, babe," he says softly as he wraps his arms around me in a warm embrace. I can't help but melt in his arms as I wrap mine around his waist.

"Any time, hon. I hope you feel better soon. You scared me, I thought..." I trail off as my heart stings remembering the precious baby we lost almost a year and a half ago now.

Baby Lina...

"We're pregnant!" We announce to the members together as they look in confusion at the "Fact: I have the cutest little sister ever!" t-shirts. They all exclaim in joyful shock as they stand to congratulate us.

Five months later:

We're eight months along now and out shopping for stuff for the baby's room. The boys are wilding around the store while Seonghwa is walking slowly next to me. They keep bringing us stuff that we do not need. Don't get me wrong, they're cute and all but... we don't need them.

"Yah!!! You guys have to stick to the list and budget otherwise you're paying for everything that's extra, got it?!" I scold them as they bring us a $300 (339,186 won) bedsheet set for a toddler. We're having a baby first for crying out loud!

I sigh exasperatedly as Seonghwa giggles next to me while hugging onto my arm, "Chagi-ah, calm down. They mean well."

"I know I know, it's just frustrating because we have a clear budget and they keep blowing it," I reason with him in a gentle tone.

"Well, maybe they'll chip in," he shrugs before continuing to say, "We're all celebrities after all."

I chuckle defeatedly then nod saying, "You're right."

"Alright, boys! Pick one thing that you want to get for the baby that's on the list, and you can pay the difference if it goes over," Seonghwa announces to which they cheer joyfully and start rushing around to get the stuff they had before. Did I forget to mention that they ALL chose to wear their t-shirts today during the shopping trip? Yes, yes they did. They're so proud of her and she's not even here yet.

They soon come running in and tossing things on the cart that are actually on the list both frugal and luxurious items and after it all comes together, we spent $5,000 (5,653,100 won) which was about $1,500 (1,695,667 won) over budget, but everyone who went over paid for the excess so it worked out.

We head home with all the stuff and start setting them up in the baby room. Seonghwa tries to help but the boys only allow her to watch which I am not complaining about at all.

Two weeks later:

Seonghwa was walking toward the kitchen from the living room to put away some dishes but he suddenly stops in the middle of the hallway with a yelp that startled us all into action. I rush to his side just as the dishes fall from his hands and he embraces his huge baby bump. He screams in pain before his knees give out from under him but both Jongho and I catch him right before he collided with the floor. "Get the car!!" I command to no one in particular.
