"Maybe she just knows I really want her here," Lena huffed as she pulled on a tankini, Taehyung helping her.

"Maybe," Taehyung replied. "Maybe swimming will do the trick."

It was now a week from her due date and Lena was getting increasingly more uncomfortable. Neither of them were sleeping well and Lena constantly felt sore and overwhelmed.

Today, Jungkook, Ara, Ellie, and Namjoon were coming over to swim with Taehyung and Lena to try and get their minds off of the stress of waiting for the baby.

"Taehyung!" The couple heard Namjoon yell from downstairs. "We're here!"

"Be down in a minute!" Taehyung replied as he finished securing Lena's bathing suit. "All good?"

"All good," she smiled and kissed his cheek. "Thank you."

Taehyung grabbed a few towels from the closet before walking down the stairs, Lena right behind him, her hand on his shoulder.

"Appa and eomma," Ellie smiled from the couch. "Ready to float around?"

"Yeah," Lena smiled. "Where's Z?"

"Outside with Joon," Ellie said. "He was excited to play in the kid's pool so we brought the actual kid with us."

"Good plan," Lena smiled. "The kid's pool is really relaxing, I'll probably join them."

"You sure you can get down that low?" Taehyung asked.

"If you tug me back up," Lena said.

"Let's go then," Ellie smiled and took Lena's arm.

"Hello, Zara," Lena signed to the little girl.

Zara smiled up at Lena as Taehyung helped her into the small pool.

Once she was seated, she smiled at Namjoon.

"Hey, Namjoon," Lena said.

"Good to see you out here," Namjoon smiled. "Zara was excited to see her aunt."

Zara splashed around in the pool, barely taking notice of the two with her.

"I can tell," Lena laughed. "I wish this baby was excited to see everyone. She's really waiting as long as she can."

"Your due date is soon," he said as Zara splashed water at him. "She can't really stay in there forever."

"Wasn't Zara late though?"

"Oh she was," Namjoon said as he scooped up water and poured it on Zara's shoulder. "We ended up having to schedule her induction, you remember that?"

"Sort of," Lena said. "I didn't realize she was as late as Ellie told me."

"Yeah," he laughed. "El went into labor the night before our appointment."

"That must have been a surprise," she said.

"Scheduling her birth gave me a false sense of security," Namjoon said. "I was absolutely horrified was El told me she was feeling contractions."
