"Morning Kookie, did you enjoy your breakfast?" Hoseok asked with a gentle smile as entered the room.

"Yes, hyung, thank you."

"Jimin will be in later today to remove the stitches and then if your temperature and blood pressure are still constant I'm sure he will allow you to leave either tomorrow or the day after."

Jungkook brightened with the prospect of leaving and returning to Taehyung. He'd forgotten that Jimin had said he would more than likely be allowed home in a day or two.

"Any idea when he'll come?"

"No, Kook, sorry. He's going out to Joon's house today with Tae to make sure that everything is ready for your arrival there, so he may drop by before he goes or he may wait until he returns."

Kookie nodded.

Hoseok lifted up the breakfast tray, and turned to leave, his last words trailing over his shoulder as he went. "I'll be back soon with your medication."

True to his word, Hoseok returned with Jungkook's medication. He dropped the small container to the 'tray' and fetched a glass of water. He reached for the container and upended the contents into his hand, picking up a new addition in his fingers and staring at it.

"What's this?" he asked.

"Vitamin supplement."

"Oh."

"Jimin wants you to start taking vitamin supplements for the moment, with the morning sickness he wants to be certain that the baby is getting the necessary nutrients it needs to develop. You will also find the iron supplement has changed a little; it's the type that pregnant women take. Now that we know your condition, Jimin can prescribe the drugs you need more effectively."

"Okay hyung."

Taehyung took one last look around the apartment. He'd come home from the MNS hospital last night after being kicked out by Jimin so Kookie could get some rest, still full of restless energy. He'd made himself a sandwich and then set to work. With the move to Namjoon's house in the immediate future he'd begun to pack up his and Jungkook's things so they're ready for the move.

Fortunately it was mainly their clothing and a few knick knack's they'd bought, the apartment being fully furnished by the Ministry. The small amount of food that remained in the fridge and pantry could wait until the last minute.

The task of sorting and packing had served its purpose and settled Taehyung's mind, along with tiring out his body enough that when he finally did crawl in-between the sheets he was able to drift off to sleep fairly quickly and not spend hours staring at the ceiling.

He hadn't slept properly since Jungkook had been injured. He hated sleeping alone.

The morning soon arrived and Taehyung awoke to the dawn chorus of the birds, rolling over in the empty bed he listened to the bird song, letting the notes calm him as he mentally prepared for the day ahead.

Thirty minutes later he had showered and dressed. Grabbing his wallet and the keys to the pick up, he locked the apartment and headed for the Ministry's HQ and his lover.

Jimin had just parked his car and was waiting for the elevator when Taehyung appeared beside him.

"Morning, Taehyung," he greeted his friend and agent.

"Morning Jimin-ah." Tae nodded as he spoke.

The elevator chimed its arrival and they stepped inside, Jimin pushing the button for the 3rd floor. When the doors opened again they both stepped out and Jimin spoke whilst they walked.
