⚜️44:Nurturing Heart⚜️

Eucon is a cold state, covered in beautiful snow flakes, so while the other kingdoms experience summer Eucon experiences just a little warm temperatures and as a result, in present there is no snow.

Jungkook has his eyes closed, his body leaning on Taehyung's as the carriage enters the capital city of Eucon, it's midnight so there is no sound other than the noises of their horses galloping in the roads of Eucon, to reach the palace.

"Hyung... Do you feel okay?" Taehyung asks rubbing Jungkook's waist.

"Yes..." Jungkook answers and Taehyung ignores the wet patch on Jungkook's shirt.

Even though circumstances have changed, Jungkook's body hasn't forgot that it had to nurse a baby. His stomach is loose due to the surgery, most of the time Jungkook is fatigued and his chest is lactating, and as a result Jungkook's shirt turns wet at certain times.

"Wear your Jacket Hyung, we're outside the palace" Taehyung says handing the jacket to Jungkook as the carriage stops outside the Palace of Eucon.

Jungkook nods and wears his jacket, shivering as the wet shirt presses more in his body.

Taehyung steps out first, and then helps Jungkook to get down carefully.
From where they are standing they can see His brother, Seokjin and Jimin standing with few guards and maids to welcome them.

Seokjin walks slowly towards Taehyung and upon reaching up to him, he smiles softly at Taehyung and Jungkook

"How are you?" Seokjin asks
"Tired" Taehyung says hugging Seokjin.

"Everything will be fine" Seokjin reassures patting his back.

"Where ..." Jungkook asks, his face showing impatience.

"In my chamber, as it's quiter there" Seokjin says.

"Take me there..." Jungkook pleads.

"No one is allowed to enter in my chamber until I say so" Seokjin orders to the guards and maids around him.

Jimin notices Taehyung looking at him and he nods reassuringly at him, and Taehyung calms down just a little bit.

Seokjin, Taehyung and Jungkook all start walking towards Seokjin's chamber. Upon reaching the chambers Jungkook takes a deep breath before opening the huge wooden doors.

A piercing cry reaches Seokjin's and Taehyung's ear as Jungkook runs towards the crib placed beside the bed,
Jungkook hastily takes out the crying baby out of the crib placing the child close to his chest as his own eyes shed tears of relief.

"No my baby don't cry" Jungkook mumbles softly, in an attempt to calm down his child. He sits on the bed patting the baby on the back to calm him down. His whole attention, on his two children.

Taehyung himself cries at the scene, while seokjin smiles softly at scene, before exiting the chamber to give the family some privacy.

"He must be hungry" Jungkook mumbles, and holds the child with one hand struggling to remove his jacket.

"Let me hold him" Taehyung says as he notices Jungkook's effort.

"No" Jungkook says clutching the child close to him, "you will send him away" he accuses Taehyung, with tears in his eyes.
Taehyung shakes his head denying Jungkook's allegations, as he sits on his knees rubbing the baby's back. As if sensing both of his parents presence the infant calms down and yawns softly.

"Why would I take him away Hyung? Taehyung says trying to calm down Jungkook, who is crying for the first time after the whole ordeal.

"You didn't even let me see him, and send him here" Jungkook accuses once again.

"I am sorry Hyung, but it was important for his safety" Taehyung says as he recalls each and every thing that happened on the day of Jungkook's surgery.

And that statement seemed to calm down Jungkook as he hands over the baby to Taehyung and removes his jacket and shirt to nurse his boy child.

Flashback

It was after Yeonjun entered the infirmary Jungkook had birthed one of his child, even though the child was not breathing when born, but Yeonjun was quick to perform mouth to mouth CPR and thankfully the child was resurrected after his efforts.
Yeonjun also knew that the chances of the second baby surviving were slim to none.

At this time there were just Jimin, Yoongi and Taehyung outside the infirmary, so when Yeonjun informed the trio about the news Taehyung was ecstatic but still his mind was clouded with worry for his other child and his husband, he also knew that the man who poisoned Jungkook was still not found and can still be somewhere in the vast palace of Alavania.

So with a stone in his heart, he decided then and there that Alvania is not safe for his children and he orchestrated a plan.

The plan was that Jimin will leave with Namjoon and his new born for Eucon as soon as possible, and if just in case his second born survived too, Yoongi would be the one to take his second born to Eucon. And they would act as if Jungkook's children are dead.
But the problem was to find two dead new born babies and portray as if they were Jungkook's child. Fortunately one of the maids was giving birth at the same time as Jungkook and her baby was a still born.

Taehyung offered her that her baby would be put to rest as per the royal customs and she handed over her dead newborn to Taehyung. Taehyung replaced his first born with a dead baby, and instructed Yeonjun and others to act as if Jungkook only birthed one baby if his second child survived as well.
Jimin immediately left for Eucon when Jungkook was unconscious and he wasn't able to see his son.

It was god's grace that his second born who was a girl was also born safe and healthy and Jungkook was able to nurse her for 2 hours before he had to part with her too. It was at this time only Taehyung informed Jungkook about everything and he didn't know how even in that state Jungkook was calm.

It was after Bong Cha held the court and Yoongi resigned, Yoongi also immediately left for Eucon with the second born.

It was all planned out by Taehyung as he knew if they spread the news that Jungkook's children are dead, the attackers would be relaxed and will not make any further effort to harm their children.

Jungkook's impatience to reunite with his children was so intense that he didn't care that a dethroning order was passed against him. He knew someday or other Mina will come to know about the dethroning order and would, for sure do something regarding it, so for the first time in his life he left his Kingdom's responsibility and thought about himself.

Flashback end

Taehyung was holding their girl child while Jungkook was busy nursing their boy. Taehyung knew that Jungkook was upset because he didn't get to see his child but he was also relieved because they both were safe and sound in Eucon.

After Jungkook made sure that the boy was not hungry anymore , he placed the child in the middle of the bed before taking their girl and nursing her as well.
Taehyung looks at Jungkook fondly as the male cries the entire time while nursing their children, Taehyung knows that his tears are of relief and satisfaction as he finally unites with his children.
The emptiness in Taehyung's heart is also filled as he sees the scene in front of him. He thought he would lose everything but God had other plans and now his family is safe and sound, even though the arrival of his children was not as he expected it to be, but still its enough that his children are safe for now. They will deal with the real danger once Jungkook is fit and fine once again. For now he will just live in the moment and bask in the happiness of his children's birth.
