Angel With a Shotgun- Pentagon Yang Hongseok

Maya
I walk through the door, a smile evident on my face.
"You left? Didn't notice," Shinwon cackles.
"Doesn't matter if I'm happy," I shoot back at him.
"And what do you have to be happy about? Did your friend or whoever tell you they're happy for you about something? There really isn't anything to be happy about," he shrugs, a smirk taking over his face.
"Well, even if that's your opinion, I'm not letting that rain on my parade," I punch his shoulder, walking out of the room, causing him to flinch and hold where I hit.
"Hey, you're back!" Yanan comes out of his office. "I want to do a quick check on you."
"Alright, let me just put down my stuff," I smile at him, lifting up my small purse.
"Of course! Meet me in my office, I'll get Hongseok," my face drops. Shit, I have to tell him that I am officially dating Geonhak.
"Okay," I sigh. I walk up the stairs, grave-like, not wanting to come across Hongseok. I finally enter our room, setting down my purse on the bed.
"MAYA!"
"AHHHH! KANG HYUNGGU!" The words come out of my mouth faster than I can control.
"S-" his words are interrupted by giggles. "Sorry, Maya."
I smack his head gently, "Don't do that, or I'll end up peeing my pants. I'm pregnant, remember?"
"What does- You know what, don't answer that,"he sighs, shaking his head. "How was your date with Geonhak?"
"Actually, he asked me to be his girlfriend," I try to stop a toothy smile from forming, but can't help it. "I said yes and honestly, I don't think I've ever been happier." A door slams. I turn, seeing Hongseok.

"Hongseok, hey," I greet him feebly.
"What the fuck, Maya," he punches the wall, leaving a hole where his fist made contact.
"How much did you hear?"
"Enough. Can't you see?" Hongseok yells.
"See what?"
"I CARE ABOUT YOU! I care about you so much and you chose someone else," he screams at me.
"Hongseok, calm down, and let me explain," I stutter through the sentence.
"Why should I?"
"Because who was the one who didn't let me know they cared? Who was the one that ignored me on the date they asked me on? Who asked me on a date and barely acknowledged it after?" I ask him, raising my voice slightly.
"How am I supposed to open up when what I have been taught is the opposite of what you're expecting?"
"Because I care about you too. Not only as the father of my baby, but as a friend and teammate. I cannot guarantee that we'll be anything more, but who knows what the future holds."
"Maya-"
"We have to meet Yanan downstairs to check on our baby," I walk away, sprinting in the direction of the stairs. My feet lose the ground, causing a plummet down a small flight of stairs, and landing on my butt.
"MAYA!" A pain shoots through my tailbone and spine.
"Owww," I wince, eyes squeezed shut, and unable to move. "Hospital."

Hongseok
"Alright, so she fell down the stairs?" A male nurse asks, laying Maya down on a stretcher before wheeling her down the hall.
"Yes, and she is in the early stages of pregnancy," I inform him.
"Alright, stay here and we'll call you back when we have more information," he nods, giving a small smile.
"Thanks," I sit down in the waiting room, leaning down to put my face in my hands. What have I done? If I hadn't yelled at her, she wouldn't have slipped down the stairs, and we wouldn't be here.

I have to call someone. I pull out my phone, clicking on the number of a person I didn't want to talk to, but had as much of a right of being here as I did. It rings a couple of times, before it was picked up.
"Hello?"
"Leedo, it's about Maya."

He makes his way through the doors of the emergency room, eyes flickering through the room until his had met mine. He rushed over to me.
"Have you heard anything?"
"Nope."
"How did this happen?" How do I tell him that I made her upset and fall? And how do you explain  a threatened pregnancy to him?
"Did she tell you-"
"About the baby? Yeah, and she made sure I was okay with it, before we got together."
"Oh."
"Yeah, and she told me how you're the father, too. I guess, we're both going to be in her life, in one way or the other," he stifled a chuckle, which is the only way to describe it, since his voice was so deep.
"Yeah, I guess so," I form a straight line, letting my guilt take over.

"Family of Maya Ahktar?" A female doctor came through the doors that Maya had gone through hours prior.
"Right here," Geonhak and I stand up, walking to her a bit, meeting in the middle.
"Relation to the patient?" She points to me.
"Father of her baby."
"And you?"
"Boyfriend, ma'am."
"Alright, so to begin with: the baby is fine, she had some bleeding; however, it was not to the point of miscarriage. She described her spine and tailbone pain, so we did a CAT scan. It is a fractured tailbone and her spine is bruised heavily. You are welcome to see her in a few moments if you so choose to," she explained to the best of her advantage without medical terms.
"Alright, we understand," Geonhak nods to her, turning to me.
"You go in first," I allow him out of guilt.
"Thanks," he pats my shoulder, smiling, before then walking to the hospital room with the doctor. I walk to another floor, wandering around. That is until I see a sign on the wall. Nursery. I walk silently to the window, looking at the new arrivals in their blankets and striped pink and blue hats. I smile gently, then thinking about what could've happened. I back away from the window, until my back hits a wall, sliding down, and hitting the floor. I need to change. I need to better myself before the baby arrives. For them and Maya.
