Time flew by as Tae went through the reports and before he knew it, it was almost knock off time. Just as Taehyung began to go through the motions of shutting down the computer, the phone rang. With a sigh he pushed the receive button.

"Taehyung. It's good to talk to you again."

"Namjoon hyung. How are you and Jin hyung?"

"We're fine, Tae. How is Jungkook and yourself? Married life treating you okay?"

"I'm fine and Jungkook is as well as can be expected. Married life is good," replied Taehyung.

"Is the pregnancy going okay? No problems?"

"Jimin gave Kookie a check up yesterday and all is well with both him and the baby."

"Jungkook wouldn't be far off his due date now, would he?"

"No, hyung. Jimin expects to schedule him for the C-section in about three to four weeks. Why?"

"I thought so. Taehyung, Jin hyung and I will be back in Korea in a week's time. I have some business meetings to attend so we thought, if you two don't mind, that we could come and visit you."

Tae couldn't help the small smile and shook his head slightly. "How long will you be here hyung?"

"We arrive next Tuesday, I have meetings scheduled for that week starting Wednesday and should be all wrapped up by Friday. We were going to stay for a couple more days and head back to California Monday evening."

"Of course hyung, it is your place, so please, stay with us while you're here. In fact it will probably be good for Kookie to have some different company other than the same faces all the time. Will you be able to arrange transportation? I'd pick you up myself but it depends on what time your plane comes in."

"Don't worry about picking us up, I'll have a car waiting at the airport as I'll need it to get to the business meetings. Thanks for the thought though."

"No problem, you're welcome any time."

"I'll call you again in a couple of days to let you know what time the plane comes in and when we should arrive at the mansion."

"Okay hyung, take care, and give my best to Jin hyung."

"You too, Tae. Give Kookie a hug from us both and tell him we will see him soon."

"I will. Goodbye."

"Bye, Tae."

The connection was cut, a small smile playing over Tae's face before he gathered up his things and headed to the elevator and home.

Jungkook was sitting in the lounge awaiting Jimin's arrival. Tae had called and said to expect the doctor around five and it was now five past. His ears picked up on the sound of a vehicle moments before the car pulled up out the front. He eased himself from the chair and waddled to open it, admitting Jimin to the mansion.

"Hey hyung, thanks for coming," he greeted the doctor.

"Hello, Kook. How are you feeling?" asked Jimin as he approached the front door and entered the mansion.

"I'm fine, although I'll be glad once Taekookie is born. My back aches and it's getting harder and harder to get out of chairs and walk around. Honestly, I don't know how women do it," Kookie grumbled, but there was a smile on his handsome face.

"Well, they do have the advantage of actually being built for this. Now, Tae said you wanted to talk to me a little more about your female parts?"

"Yeah. I have some questions if you don't mind answering them for me."
