Chenle, Dami, and Hyewon have their faces and palms glued to the huge glass wall, their eyes sparkling wide like a literal lizard.

The sight of countless babies on their own little beds warmed their hearts, blessing their eyes with their cuteness.


One baby in a yellow blanket especially caught their attention, her fingers curling as she peacefully slept. They can't stop the smiles on their faces.


"Hyung, say hi", Jungwon nudged the dominant's elbow while still fixated on the baby girl and waved his hand. "Baby, hiiii."

"She's asleep", Renjun chuckled, yet he didn't take off his eyes. "She's so pretty."

"Duh, hyung, just look. Look at you and Jihye. It's the genes."


The dominant can just shake his head, evoking relief and happiness in his scent.


The whole sleepless twenty-four hours of them are greatly rewarded. Both Jihye and baby Heejoo survived.

The doctor proudly congratulated them, and the family and friends never stopped thanking the professionals too.

Dark bags under their eyes, rumbling on their tummies, but all of that seemed to wash away when everything went fine.


It was close to 9 a.m. when Jihye's mom insisted on their friends resting at their house for awhile, driving them with the sleepy Jungwon.


By now, Renjun is stuck on the long couch inside Jihye's private room between the omega's dad and his mom, while his dad momentarily drove back to his unit to get clothes.

The three are just silently minding their own business, occasionally taking a look at the omega on the bed.


"You can sleep."


Renjun flinched when the dad suddenly spoke, looking over to him.


"I bet Jihye will wake up for a few hours."

"Oh, I'll wait for her."

"You haven't slept for the whole day."

"Then I'll just rest beside her; there I could feel if she'll wake up", he flashed a small smile and pushed himself up, settling on a chair beside the bed and dropping his head atop his folded hands on the space beside her arm.

"Just let him be", the alpha woman said, gaining the dominant man's attention. She smiled. "I bet you're also like that when your wife gave birth. Mothers already have their one leg on the grave during pregnancy, and fathers could just hope that they could take the pain away. Renjun's like that now too."

He sighed. "It's just a suggestion."

"You know, you dominants have to break the stereotypes for some time. The world isn't black and white; see colors for yourself sometimes", she chuckled. "Talk to Jihye."


He looked over to the alpha, who just threw a smile.
