Oh My Baby!

OMB! 36

A week passed but things were not getting better with Baekhyun. He tried to be cheerful with everyone but his husband was able to tell the difference in his acting. The nightmares continued and it worried Chanyeol since his husband refused to talk about it. 

It was a little past 7 when Chanyeol came home from a meeting. He took off his jacket and shoes before following the sweet humming to the kitchen. Baekhyun had his sweater on under the red apron. Chanyeol almost giggled at his cute husband and the tiny movements he could see through the apron on his midsection. 

"Oh, hey. When did you come back?" the younger squealed throwing his arms around his husband's neck and burying his head against his chest. Chanyeol wrapped his arms around the younger's waist and pecked the crown of his head, "Just now, baby."

"I made spaghetti and guess what? It tastes delicious and nothing is burnt," the doctor giggled proudly and Chanyeol showed him a thumbs-up. Baekhyun after having nothing to do at home decided to learn cooking. 

Initially, Chanyeol often found him slumped on the dining table crying over how fast the videos on YouTube are or how the cookbooks have too many words. But the smaller was not ready to give up. Of course, there were times when the elder had to eat up all the burnt food to keep his pregnant husband from eating it. 

"I'm gonna go take a shower and let's eat diner, alright?" The younger nodded with a smile and the elder pulled him closer, "Would you like to join me?"

Baekhyun shook his head and slapped his chest, "I'm gonna take a bath after dinner, Yeol."

Pouting, he nodded and his eyes moved to the bump. As they stood close together, he could feel the tiny kicks against his abs and chuckled. The raven head moved his hand to gently stroke the bump and leaned down. Baekhyun almost gasped when the other lifted his sweater, "Are you growing well in there? We're waiting to meet you, our little smurf." He finished with a little peck on the stretched out skin. 

"I'll give you a massage before bed, alright?" Baekhyun nodded and let the other steal a kiss from his lips. 

A couple of hours later, dinner was over and the couple was getting ready for bed. Chanyeol was on the bed looking through the documents he had to sign while Baekhyun was enjoying his bath. 

The younger had leaned his head against the tub. The calm vanilla scent and the warm water soon lulled him to sleep. 

Just then, Chanyeol threw the papers off his lap and jumped off the bed to the bathroom. Baekhyun was screaming as he thrashed under the water. His husband's touch only caused him to flinch and move away. 

The elder was quick to drain the water and held his sobbing husband by his shoulder and wrapped a towel around him before carrying him to the bed. 

Seeing he was still lost in thoughts, the raven head dressed him up with one of his sweatshirts and dried his hair with the towel. "Baek?" he held his hand and shook him a little, just enough to bring the younger back. 

"What happened in there, baby?" Chanyeol asked as gentle as he could with his fingers lightly squeezing the younger's thigh. Baekhyun coming out of his trance looked at his husband and shook his head, and repeated the words he always said, nothing, Yeol, everything's alright.

"Park Baekhyun!"

Baekhyun sighed at the other's loud voice knowing the other would not let go of this anymore. Chanyeol sat sideways facing his husband, "We're not sleeping till you tell me what's going on," Baekhyun nodded taking a deep breath. 

"Every time I look at the bathroom or our bed, I remember Minhyeok. I have nightmares about what Minhyeok did to me. I dozed off just a little in there and, I felt as if he was there drowning me. When we sleep on that bed, I dream of that night. The bullet, the building, the rooftop,"
