Lilly walks into the lake, waiting for Tae and Sunni. Poppy and Jelan run to the end of the dock and jump in. Jelan is doing a canon ball right in front of Jungkook, sending a tidal wave over him. The guys are laughing at him. Ailie slips into the water gently from the dock and into Jimin's arms.
Everyone is laughing and splashing around in the lake. Dani sits near the lake's edge and lets Juni splash her feet in the water.
Tae has walked Sunni to the edge of the lake, and Lilly comes to help her safely into the water. Tae helps her recline on her back to float. He laughs, showing his boxy smile, seeing only her face and large tummy above the water. Sunni and Lilly start laughing, too, as her tummy bobbles in the lake with the movement of her laughter.
Hearing all the laughter and shouting, Tannie runs out of the doggie door from the house to trot up and down the dock, barking at them. Behind him comes his mate, who is following with two little puppies, playing tag with their mama.
Not a big fan of water like his dad, Yoongi's oldest son entertains Juni while Dani joins her cousins in the lake. They are having fun playing, swimming, and just floating.
The guys are roughhousing with the boys, and the girls have swum out to the floating dock, sitting and lying in the sun chatting.
Lilly, Ailie, Jelan, Poppy, and Dani join arms with Sunni, and they all float together in a circle when Nabi joins them. They are talking about children, husbands, births, and babies when suddenly Jelan disappears under the water, breaking her hold on her sister's hands.
They gasped when she suddenly popped back up to the surface, with Jungkook holding her in his arms and laughing. Laughing, she dunks him under the water, and he tosses her up in the air, only to land in the lake, splashing him in the face.
Everyone is laughing when suddenly Sunni lets go of Lilly and Ailie's hands. With shock, she looks at Lilly and says, "Oh no, Lilly, LILLY!"
Lilly treads quickly to Sunni and holds her hand, "What is it? What's wrong?"
With fear in her eyes, she looks at Lilly, tears brimming, and says, "My water broke!!"
Snapping into action, Lilly yells for Tae. He doesn't hear her over the laughter and shouting.
"KIM TAEHYUNG!!"
His head quickly turns toward the shout, and he sees panic on Sunni's face. He immediately starts swimming towards her.
No one had ever heard Lilly shout like that before. Everyone suddenly goes quiet. The ladies are already helping Sunni to the edge of the lake.
Tae reaches Sunni, "What's happened?"
Poppy says, "Her water broke. I'm going to change and bring the car around."
She quickly leaves the lake and runs to the house, followed by Yoongi. As he catches up to her, she speaks to him, and they both run to the house.
Tae is stunned, "How can you tell your water broke? You're already in water?"
Sunni looks at him, tears falling down her cheeks, "Tae, I felt a gush. It wasn't the lake."
Tae has taken hold of her on one side and Ailie on the other. Ailie pauses, and Lilly notices the look on her face and takes her position by Sunni. Ailie suddenly snaps out of it and says, "Expect the unexpected." She shakes her head, and her eyes refocus.
Lilly, watching her, asks, "What?"
Ailie looks at her, "I don't know."
Dani and Nabi call the kids to come to the house to change into dry clothes. The older kids are concerned but help with the younger ones and follow their aunts in.
Tae and Lilly reach the edge of the lake with Sunni. The buoyancy of the water is now gone.
She cries, "I can't stand up straight. It's too much. Lilly, I'm so scared for our babies. We've tried for so long. I'm so scared."
Sunni doubles over and cries out, "Tae, our babies. I don't want to lose our babies."
Seeing the fear and panic in her eyes, Tae becomes panicked, too. "We have to get her to the hospital!" Tae is sobbing, trying to keep hold of Sunni.
Lilly hugs Sunni and tells Tae, "We have to get her out of the water and changed."
Jungkook approaches them and says, "Tae, I've got her. You go ahead and get changed."
He lifts Sunni in his arms and hurries her to the house, following closely behind Tae. Sunni has her arms around Jungkook's neck, crying on his shoulder.
Bam has come out of the water and runs to catch up with Jungkook. He pauses to shake the water off, and Tannie barks at him for getting him wet. Bam just lolls his tongue out of the side of his mouth as if laughing and continues on to the house. Every time Tannie seems close enough, he stops to shake along the way.
Tannie is pouting and heading to his doggie bed when his mate and their puppies are already there. She barks at him, so Tannie goes and lays on Bam's doggie bed instead, as Bam is busy following Jungkook.
