Leo's P.O.V

A month or so passed by before Mina actually started showing. We knew it was too early to start fixing a room and choosing a name but we decided to start as soon as we discovered our baby's sex. We would find out tomorrow at Mina's first ultrasound. I canceled all of my schedule for tomorrow just to be right by her side 24/7 in case she felt any discomfort. I helped Mina's mother move in with us for Mina's pregnancy because I couldn't be there all the time and Mina could only do light activities until the 2nd trimester, after that she was bed ridden until she gave birth. We were taking the doctor's words very seriously. According to him just walking down the street could put the baby in danger.

Mina's P.O.V

I'm scared. I've never done this before. It broke my heart when the doctor said that I wasn't going to have a normal, healthy pregnancy, that everything I did could potentially hurt our baby. I felt line a burden to Taek Woon. His ultimate goal in life was to have a family and here I am risking it. Ever since I was a girl I knew my calling in life was to be a mom but I didn't know it was going to be this difficult and that's that I haven't even had our baby yet. I had just started working at my dream job and I already had to request a maternity leave. It didn't risk my job thanks to Taek Woon but I still felt useless. I wasn't working, and here at home my mom did everything. I would start cleaning the house but my mom would soon take over and she would send me to sit down to watch TV. It would have been a dream in my high school days but this feels horrible. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret anything. I just wish I would have taken some vitamins earlier to strengthen my body in this vital moment. It had only been a month since I was given instructions and as of next month I would be bed ridden. Please be healthy my baby.

"Are you excited?" I asked Mina while reaching for her hand while I drove with the other.
"More like nervous." She responded nervously.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because all I've gotten is bad news and I'm scared that there will be more." She said as she started to tear up.
I pulled over so that I could give her my full attention.
"W-What do you mean? Do you not want to have our baby?"
"That's not what I meant Taek Woon-ah. It's just, I feel so useless. I can't do anything for myself and I feel like I'm beginning to become a burden to everyone." She said wiping her tears with her free hand.
"Don't say that. Right now you have the most important role of all. Which is keeping our baby healthy." I said as I kissed her hand.
"You really think so?" She said smiling a bit.
"Yes I do. " I assured her.
"I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble." She added.
"What trouble? You have given me nothing but happiness since I met you in that green house 10 years ago." I said as I reached in for a peck. "Now let's go or we're going to be late." I said as I pulled back into the road.

The nurse began the ultra sound. She put some cold jelly on Mina's mini bump and began the process.
"Um.... doc I need you to see this." She said as she saw a figure on the screen monitor.
"What is it?" The doctor said.
"Look. " She said causing both me and Mina to break out in cold sweat.
"Oh...." the doctor hesitated. "Well congratulations, you're having fraternal twins. One boy, one girl." He said.
"A-are you serious?" I asked not believing my ears.
"Yup, come here." He said pointing at the screen. And there they were two little figures.
"Thank you so much doctor! Thank you!" I thanked the doctor endlessly.
"Don't thank me, thank your wife." He said as he exited the room with the nurse.
I hugged Mina tightly.
"You're amazing. Thank you so much. I never thought I would be this happy in my whole entire life." I said.
"Thank you for being by my side." She said as she cupped my face and kissed me.

Mina's swollen stomach was beautiful. She was now 6 months and a half. Morning sickness was horrible. I felt terrible for Mina. It felt even worse that I couldn't do anything for her except hold her hair back, wipe off her tears, hug her, and help her back to bed. Even though she took multiple vitamins daily along with nutritious foods, she looked awfully sick and I wondered if she was ok but the doctor said she was fine and that even though the babies were taking a toll on Mina's health, they were absolutely healthy. He complemented Mina on taking care of herself despite the situation she was in. We had decided on our babies' names. Our baby girl would be named Jung Se Kyung and our baby boy would be named Jung Ji Hoon. Their room was painted half and half with two rocking chairs in the middle. One for me, the other for Mina. The wait was long but it would be worth it in the end.

Mina's P.O.V

We were all packed and ready to go for whenever they were. According to the doctor, my due date was today but apparently not. It was already 10 pm and me and Taek Woon were in bed. I began dozing off.

Leo's P.O.V

I caressed Mina's bump and kissed it while she slept. I couldn't sleep thinking that our babies were almost here. I was so proud of Mina. She managed to do this all by herself. She accepted the challenge and beat it.
"Aren't you sleeping?" She said as she sat up.
"I can't I'm too excited." I responded.
"Me too." She said as she stood up.
"Where are you going?" I said as I stood up and ran to her side.
"To the bathroom." She said as her pj shorts got wet.
"You couldn't wait huh? I'll go get you new ones." I began to go but she stopped me by grabbing my arm.
"my water broke...."
