Loaded with a large tray of goodies, Yibo went into the bedroom to Zhan, who had not been feeling well for the past two days. It is now only a few weeks until the expected birth date of Yibo and Zhan's baby son. But already Zhan feels barely able to stand up.

He complains of constant tiredness, nausea and severe back pain since last night. He also feels dizzy all the time, which makes it impossible for him to get out of bed without Yibo's help. Yibo is very worried about his husband, although the doctor tried to assure him that everything is fine with Zhan and the baby.

Yibo is glad that his mother and his best friend Seungyoun are representing him and Zhan in the company so that he can stay by Zhan's side. Because Yibo wouldn't be able to concentrate on his work anyway.

After Zhan ate just a little of what Yibo lovingly prepared for him, he went back to sleep and Yibo went to the living room so Zhan wouldn't be disturbed by him. And so, in the living room, Yibo can at least answer some emails he received.

When he finished answering all his emails, Yibo grabbed a book and leaned back on the sofa. While he was reading, he suddenly became very tired. He had hardly slept in the last few nights and this made itself clear now that he was coming to rest. He closed his eyes and it only seemed like a moment. But when he opened his eyes again, hours had already passed.

"Yibo? Are you here?" He heard coming from the direction of the living room door. Zhan came to the door looking terribly pale. Sweat was on his forehead and when he saw Yibo, he said, "I'm not feeling well at all. I'm in so much pain." The next moment, Zhan collapsed. Yibo just managed to reach Zhan so that he would not hit the hard ground.

With the greatest effort, he carried Zhan to the sofa and called Zhan's doctor. He immediately sent an ambulance to the two. While Yibo nervously waited for the ambulance, he tried to get Zhan awake, who was still unconscious on the sofa.

After about 10 minutes, the ambulance arrived. They examined Zhan and said his vital signs were very poor. They put Zhan on a stretcher and took him to the ambulance. Yibo accompanied them, never would he leave Zhan alone. He held Zhan's hand until they arrived at the small private clinic.

A doctor examined Zhan and told Yibo, "We need to do emergency surgery on Zhan immediately. Both the baby and Zhan himself are in mortal danger! He has probably been in labor since yesterday, and since he, as a man, cannot give birth to the baby naturally, their lives are in danger."

Yibo just nodded. He was far too worried and confused. There was still time before the expected date of birth. What had suddenly happened? Why were the contractions already starting? Why didn't Zhan and Yibo realize it was labor, despite all the preparations?

While two nurses were preparing Zhan for surgery, Yibo called his in-laws and his parents. They all immediately made their way to the clinic.

Yibo was only allowed to accompany his Zhan as far as the surgery area, then he had to wait outside the two doors. His in-laws and parents arrived about half an hour later. Yibo fell into his in-laws' arms, crying. Suddenly, concern for Zhan and his son burst out and he just couldn't hold on any longer.

"Everything will be fine. Zhan is strong and so is your son. You'll see. They will be fine." His mother-in-law assured him. Yibo nodded and wiped his tears.

Fifteen minutes later, a nurse came out of the operating area carrying something in her arms. A small bundle, not even as long as her forearm and wrapped in a cozy blanket. "Mr. Wang. I want to introduce you to your son. He is absolutely healthy and doing great. He's even peed on our surgeon already." She said with a smile as she placed Yibo's son in his arms.

When Yibo held this little human, of just 46 centimeters and weighing 2800 grams in his arms, his heart almost exploded with love for his son. He kissed his face and his tiny hands and asked, "Is he really healthy? He was born a few weeks early after all. And how is my husband?"
