"You need to see a doctor," Jisung mentioned, rubbing your back gently as you sat up from your hunched position over the toilet bowl. You felt weak all over, but unlike Jisung, you knew why. The answer had arrived earlier on in the day when you had finally caved after feeling unwell for days and tried a pregnancy test.

Or five, because you definitely needed to make sure it was real this time.

After months of trying, you were finally pregnant. It seemed a little too surreal, and in amongst the vomiting plaguing your weakened body, you were attempting to come up with the best way to tell your husband the good news.

His eyes washed over you worriedly. "You seem to have a nasty stomach bug. Did you eat anything bad over the last day? Maybe it's food poisoning. My poor baby, I hate seeing you this miserable."

Of course, Jisung had yet to connect your throwing up like this to anything more than what he expected a person to face when sick. It took all your remaining energy to not blurt it out right then, knowing you had to make this special for him. He had wanted a child with you for so long now.

"I'll book one in the morning," you promised, his eyes still concerned. Smiling gently, you patted his lower arm and nodded once.

You couldn't wait to tell him.

"I'm sorry, what did you just say?!" you asked the ultrasound technician, and she smiled at your exclamation. "Did you say, two?"

"Two very healthy babies. Here is Baby A, and then to the right here in this second little gestational sack is Baby B."

"I'm pregnant with two?" you repeated, and the woman laughed warmly.

"Congratulations!"

You hadn't expected that. Even when she handed you the sonogram photos, you still couldn't believe it. You drove home completely in another world, and once you turned off the ignition to the car, you were thankful you actually made it home safely and had a small panic over driving in such a state.

After all, you had the three of you to protect now.

Three.

You remained unfocused for the rest of the day. You were thankful Jisung was busy with work, and after a phone call to ensure you were fine after your doctor's appointment; you had successfully avoided any further concern from him. If you had to be in his space for too long you would just blurt it all out, and even though he was the one person you wanted to share this news with the most, you had always envisioned this moment in your life.

Being able to show him your tests, the scans, and package it all neatly with a bow on top too. You lived for the Youtube videos of pregnancy announcements and gender reveals, and you always dreamed that you would be able to share that joy with Jisung.

It just felt so unreal to be planning it in reality now.

Luckily for you, you crashed early into the night, fatigue taking over your body from all the "morning" sickness. For you, nausea seemed to hit you at all points of the day and night, and you wanted nothing more than to sleep it away, barely acknowledging your husband slipping into bed beside you late at night.

In the morning, he was gone before you rose, with a note saying he'd be home for lunch today.

It didn't give you a lot of time but you managed to gather what you needed in supplies, grateful from your excitement to start your family that you had already ordered a pack of onesies a year ago. The concentration on your project made the hours slip by and you just managed to have everything ready in time, placing the boxed gift on the bench before you turned to dash into the kitchen and start preparing some food for lunch.

"Honey, I'm home," Jisung called out ten minutes later, and your anticipation bounced around in your stomach. You watched to see him come into view, his warm greeting soon faltering when he saw the gift sitting on the countertop. He frowned. "What's this?"

"It's for you," you mentioned, hoping you didn't sound too eager. You tried to keep your eyes on what you were doing and not on Jisung.

"What did I do to warrant this?" he asked with a playful tone, placing his things down and started unwrapping the box.

"You'll soon see!"

Abandoning the food prep, you turned to watch his expression; his warm eyes alight with curiosity. Jisung glanced at you and then back at his task, opening the box you had folded closed under the wrapping paper and then he stopped moving altogether. You rounded the counter and shifted to his side, peering into the box.

You had decorated the lid with the words Due June 2019, along with the scans stuck to either side and drew a bunch of question marks around it all. Jisung's eyes were fixated on the package on the inside of the box, not reaching to touch it.

"Aren't you going to look further?" you asked, feeling too excited and impatient for him to not keep going.

He blinked rapidly, glancing at you with tears pooling in his eyes. "You're pregnant?"

"Keep opening your present," you urged, and you husband lifted his shaking hands to the final gift, unwrapping the onesies and gasped.

"From two to four, I wonder what's in store?" he read the card you placed over the garments aloud and then turned to you in shock. "T-twins?"

You nodded and he shrieked, hugging you tightly. When he pulled back, his hand nestled over your stomach and you laughed as your own happy tears started pouring out of your eyes. "We're having twins."

"Really?!"

"Welcome to fatherhood, Jisung. We're finally going to be parents."

Finally.
