there's a baby cry that echoes around the room— followed by the relief sigh from one male (it's not her husband, she's not married).

"congratulations, it's a boy." announced the doctor as he cuts the umbilical cord from the baby who is then handed off to the gloved arms of jeonghan whom, with other nurses accompanying him, helped him to the wash-room to wash off the remaining blood and to check a few things of the new born like recording weight, height and other things.

"how much does he weigh?" asked one of the nurses as jeonghan reads the scale after seconds placing down the baby (the scale is fortunately warm as always so the baby doesn't cry), "3.6kg, normal weight." the nurse jolts it down on the paper, writing down other things and checking with the doctor who finally returns to the room with blooded gloves. he takes them off with the help of his assistant and tells his assistant to list down the important things for the birth certificate they have to print out to give to the parents for safe-keeping.
the nurse who jotted down the things they had measured a while ago runs to the doctor to tell him about the weight and vital things— leaving the rest to settle the baby (jeonghan included).

the nurses and him get the baby dressed up after his short rinse with water, dressing him with warm baby clothes which included the baby's diaper, button onesie, mittens, hat and socks to keep him warm before wrapping him delicately in a baby blue blanket.

"he isn't that fussy now, but we have to make him learn to latch on," he announces to the resting woman with red-shot eyes. the mom, tired nods as she sits up with the help of joshua.

this was technically joshua and seokmin's baby, and she was the surrogate of the baby— to which joshua and seokmin happily thanked her for helping to carry the baby to full term and complying to everything they requested even if they didn't request much. she nods, smiling and telling the couple that she's happy that she can help grow their family.
"but because this baby is gonna be taken cared by mr. hong and mr. lee-hong, it'll also help if the baby gets used to being bottle fed with the mother's pumped milk every three hours." he tells the new parents as the baby latches to the mother's breast to suckle.

"of course, i'll send.. bags of pumped milk to them everyday if possible." and jeonghan nods, smiling brightly as the baby detaches from the nipple he was suckling on.
"he seems full, let me hold him while you take some rest." he takes the baby from the woman's arms, letting her rest after helping her cover her breast (he's no stranger to this as he's usually working and helping within this department) and handing the baby to his two friends.

seokmin has tears running down his cheeks as jeonghan arranges his arms to help support the baby's head, "careful with the head and neck, make sure to support it fully when carrying him."
the younger nods eagerly, eyes filled with tears as he coos at the baby with soft eyes.

"what.. what would we name him?" asked seokmin with a still shocked voice, "shua?"
"nathan.. hong jinseok nathan.. our nathan."

jeonghan smiles, "i'll pass that information to the doctor." he spoke as the couple nods, occupied with the birth of their son.

the space besides him on the bed sunk as weight is pressed against the mattress, there's a grunt that followed by a slightly jump before an arm is wrapped delicately around his naked waist. he can feel his fiancé's finger drawing comforting circles on his cold skin that was left open; exposed to the air that surrounded them— a trail of heat that followed before it succumbed to the coldness.
