Tae unlocks the front door to their home and walks in. He kicks off his shoes and puts his keys away, setting the flowers he got for Jungkook to the side. He loves to get him flowers "just because". He hears the tv on and assumes his husband is watching something. Bam comes and greets him by the entryway and Tae gives him lots of pets.

Tae looks over towards the couch to see Jungkook sleeping with a frown on his face. "Oh darling," Tae whispers. He walks to the side of the couch and kneels on the floor. He cards his fingers through Jungkook's hair because he knows that's his favorite way to be woken up. Jungkook stirs awake slowly, and his hand flies up to hold his belly and he winces in pain. "Baby love, are you in pain?" Tae asks in worry. Jungkook turns towards him and that's when Tae can see his puffy cheeks and red eyes.

He's been crying.

Tae's eyes widen at the sight and he immediately starts to think the worst. He tries to stay calm to not scare his husband. "Baby use your words. Are you in pain?" Tae asks, carefully placing his hand on Jungkook's bump. "Y-yes."

"Is there any blood?" Tae whispers. Jungkook shakes his head no and Tae breathes a sigh of relief. Thank god. "That's good my love. I don't want to take you to the hospital if we don't have to. You have been there enough, but it is up to you darling. Do you want to go?"

Jungkook looks Tae in the eyes and shakes his head no. He is clearly in a lot of discomfort. "Is it your back baby?" Tae caresses his arm. "Mhm i-it hurts I c-can't sleep," Jungkook chokes on a sob. Tae moves up to sit next to him and pulls him into his arms, caressing his face. "Shh love It's alright, It's okay I'm here. Want me to hold your belly up?" Jungkook quickly shakes his head yes.

He holds Jungkook's hands to help him stand up and turn around. He hugs Jungkook from behind and puts his hands under his belly to support it. He gently lifts it up and Jungkook's groans in relief and puts his head back on Tae's shoulder. "Feels good Tae," Jungkook whispers. Tae kisses the bend of his neck and nuzzles his head there. "I'll stay here as long as you want darling,"

Jungkook's belly has been bothering him a lot lately. It has grown a lot too. He is now 28 weeks pregnant and the belly is bigger than he thought it would be. "Oh my goodness Jungkookie, our girl is growing so big isn't she!" Tae says happily into his ear.

Jungkook giggles and turns his head to face Tae. "Of course she is Tae. She is gonna be big and strong like you, her Appa," he smiles at Tae. His husband kisses his cheek and lifts his belly as high as he comfortably can, giving Jungkook as much relief as possible. "That feels a lot better Tae you can put her down now. My back doesn't hurt anymore." Tae gives him a concerned look. "Are you sure baby? You were in tears a few minutes ago," he reasons.

"Yes Taetae I'm sure. It's just hormones, I'm alright," Jungkook replies. After a few seconds of hesitation, Tae slowly lowers Jungkook's belly. "I will make sure to do that for you more often so your back doesn't hurt my love." Jungkook's sighs in contentment. "Thank you, love. I love you."

"What about Yiri? Or Jisae?" Jungkook asks. The couple had been talking about baby names for an hour now, cuddled up in bed together with Jungkook between Tae's legs. Tae strokes Jungkook's belly with his fingers while his chin rests on the top of his head. "I like Jisae! That one is pretty. I also still like Sooyae. We can call her Soo Soo!" Jungkook's eyes light up at the mention of Sooyae.

"Tae baby I love Sooyae!" he squeals. "It's perf-" he stops. "Baby? What's wrong, are you okay?" Tae sits up carefully at the sudden stop of Jungkook. Without a verbal response, Jungkook grabs Tae's hand and pulls it to his belly. "Shh Tae just wait," he instructs. Taehyung is hella confused but listens to Jungkook.
