A few weeks later...

Grabbing the offending device as I quickly as I could have, not to have woken my beautiful wife, sated and asleep in my arms, I answered my phone surprised to hear Chanyeol's voice on the other end.

Shuffling out of bed, I slipped on a pair of boxers and made my way down the stairs to the balcony taking in the cold night air.

"Are you drunk?" I questioned, "How many did you have to drink?"

"Not enough." Chanyeol replied bitterly, "Are you going to continue scolding me, dad?"

Despite myself, a laugh escaped my throat from his response as my earlier worry settled into place once again. It was very unusual for Chanyeol to drink his problems away. Attentively I listened to him as he began speaking, different emotions racing through me.

"You're a fucking idiot, you know that right?" I said to him as my cold hands gripped the device, "Quite possibly an even bigger fucking idiot than I was."

Having pity on one of my best mates, for it took a person in love to know what one sounded like in times of desperation, I offered him my best advice as well as warning him before he hung up. Returning to bed, I found Jennie awake as I slipped under the covers pulling her back into my arms.

"Chanyeol called." I informed her rubbing her back soothingly as she snuggled her naked hot body against me in the darken room.

"Is everything alright?" She asked worriedly.

"He and Rosé have a very...complicated history of dislike." I tried my best explaining to her.

"They're in love with each other aren't they?" She questioned already knowing the answer.

"It was destined to happen." I told her as my hands slipped down to her swollen bump caressing the taut skin that was slowly becoming bigger as the weeks progressed.

Placing her hands, atop mine, I placed a small kiss against her naked shoulder briefly reminding her of our gynaecologist's appointment the following morning before we slipped back into slumber.

"As you can see your baby is already forming into a little person." Dr. Kane stated as Jennie and I looked on in awe at the screen, "I'll give you two a moment together."

"I never expected to feel this way." I told her feeling my chest tightened bursting with pride and love that I already felt towards the baby growing within her.

Looking on with glistening eyes, her fingers tightened around my hands while we listened to the strong heartbeat before being re-joined by the doctor.

"Hopefully during your next visit we should be able find out the gender of the baby." Dr. Kane said to us as he printed the picture of the ultrasound, "That is only if you wish to know."

As Jennie's lovely grey eyes met mine filled with so much love and joy I knew without a doubt the answer.

"We would be very grateful but a healthy baby is all we wish for." I replied taking the picture of the ultrasound and adding it to my wallet along with the other two.

"Everything seems to be going very well Ms. Manoban." The doctor informed us as relief passed through Jennie's face, "Mrs. Manoban's blood pressure is under control. I see no reason for a less than healthy delivery."

I immediately relaxed grateful that my wife and my child are both safe.
