[Unedited] Accidental Child

Chapter 60

Y/N

I parked in the first spot I found and ran towards the emergency department. I frantically looked around for Taehyung or the twins, but they were nowhere to be found.

"Excuse me, do you know where the patient Jeon Jungkook is?" I grabbed the arm of a passing nurse. "He should've arrived in an ambulance a couple of minutes ago."

"I can quickly look it up for you." She gestures to me to follow her to the nursing station and she quickly looks up. "He is currently undergoing surgery in OR2, just down the hall to your right."

"Thank you." I squeezed my way through the crowd of busy doctors and patients and found OR2. Taehyung was already there with both twins on his lap anxiously staring at the neon red operating sign. "How long has it been?"

"20 minutes." Taehyung said grimly.

The twins hopped off of his lap and I got onto my knees to hug them. "Mommy, is daddy going to be ok?" Ji Ae looks up at me with hopeful eyes, her cheeks damp with tears.

"It's all my fault." Jihyun didn't look up and kept his face buried into my neck. "If I didn't run then daddy wouldn't have been shot."

"You did nothing wrong, baby." I stroked his head and kissed his forehead. "How could you have known what was going to happen? I'm very proud of what you've done."

"Y/N, the surgery will take a couple of hours. Why don't I bring them back up to Ji Ae's hospital room?" Taehyung offered. Taehyung's hair looked as if he ran his hand through them a dozen times. His collar was unbuttoned and he rolled his sleeves up to his elbows. Looking at his dark eye circles and small coffee stain on his shirt, I realized how none of us had gotten proper rest since we learned that the kids were kidnapped.

"No, I can look after them." I lifted the twins and sat down in one of the waiting chairs. "Taehyung, go home."

"But-"

"Like you said," I cut him off. "The surgery will take hours, go home and rest for a bit. You haven't taken a break in the past 24 hours. You've earned it." He still looked hesitant. "One of us has to be rested and well for me to relax."

Taehyung finally relented and kissed my forehead. "I'll go home to freshen up then I'll come straight back. Try not to worry too much. Jungkook will come out ok in this." He kissed both Ji Ae and Jihyun's cheeks then left.

It didn't take long for the kids to fall asleep out of exhaustion. A lot has happened to them in the last 24 hours that children their age shouldn't have experienced. They were both fast asleep on either side of me with my arms around them. I was just about to join them in sleep until I felt trembling. I looked to my left and Jihyun was trembling in his sleep.

I carefully shifted Jihyun onto my lap so he was facing me. I hugged him tightly with one arm and kissed his cheek. "My brave boy, you're safe now. Mommy's got you."

Very gradually, the tremors stopped and I kept my eyes on the operating room doors.

Let's just hope that daddy is safe too.

After another hour, the operating room light had finally flashed green. I tapped on Taehyung's shoulder and he woke up from his nap. He had showered and changed his clothes before returning half an hour ago.

We each stood and carried a sleeping twin when the OR doors opened and the doctor walked through the doors.

"How is he, doctor?" I asked him, bouncing Jihyun with my hip when he started to stir.
