Opening Up - Part Six

ONE MONTH LATER

~♡ SHAE ♡~

"Hey, Sweets," Jungkook happily greets me with a tender kiss on the cheek. His smile is wide and so adorable.

"How was your day?" I ask as I open more mail on the kitchen counter.

"Shitty," he replies tugging off his stuffy dress shirt and laying it over the back of the kitchen barstool. He then grabs a handful of almonds from a small container on the counter and tosses a few in his mouth. He's still smiling at me.

"I've never seen anyone smile after a shitty day at work."

"Don't feel like frowning anymore. I get to come home to you." He winks.

I chuckle. "You've been coming home to me for years and you've never smiled like this."

Emptying the last almonds into his mouth, Jungkook wraps his arms around me in a back hug laying both hands on my belly. I hear a soft happy hum before he speaks.

"But you and I weren't dating all of those other years, Shae. I've been coming home to the version of you that didn't see me as anything more than a friend. But now.." he happily hums again "..I get to be your boyfriend."

I laugh away my blushing. "We're still the same people. We just title our relationship differently is all."

Tiny flutters in my belly draw my attention to my baby bump cradled in Jungkook's strong hands. His thumbs slowly caress my stomach with so much care.

"I like hearing you say that I'm your boyfriend. Makes me all giggly." He kisses my cheek before backing away and grabbing more almonds. "How was your day?"

"I had a doctor's appointment today."

"Oh yeah?" He nods towards my belly with his chin. "How's the bean?"

"Don't call him that. He's bigger than a bean now. He's about the size of an avocado."

Jungkook pauses chewing. "He?"

I nod. "The nurse at my doctor's office called right before you walked in. The doctor had a chance to look over my ultrasounds and he said I am having a boy."

"Oh yeah? Right on at the shift of power once he's here."

I playfully swat Jungkook on the arm.

"You know," he says pausing to clear his throat. "I was actually thinking about him today at work."

This makes me nervous. "What were you thinking?"

He turns me by my hips to fully face him. It takes a few moments before I can manage to meet his gaze.

"You know how we're going to your mom's for dinner this weekend and to let her know she's going to have a grandkid?"

"Mhm."

"When you tell her or anyone one else about him.." -Jungkook drags his lower lip through his teeth considering my expression- "..maybe nobody needs to know that he isn't mine."

My jaw drops.

"That's a big commitment, Jungkook. What if things don't work out between us? Then you having nothing to do with me and him will make you look like a bad father."

"Shae.." he pulls me closer. "You do realize that whether you and I dated or not, I would always be here for you. Plus, I have wanted to be with you since middle school. I don't plan on going anywhere else ever again."

"But things happen, and-"

"And I wouldn't just drop him or you if we decided to not be together anymore. But for the record, fuck I hope that never happens."
