Thrill ride (A Eric Sohn x male reader story)

Ch 22

Over the next few weeks we finally got everything moved to the apartment and a room set up for Harry with the guy's help. They spoiled him rotten with toys and clothes and Harry's finally gotten a little more comfortable around them. Currently we're getting ready for a visit by a social worker to check out the apartment and see if we can adopt Harry I anxiously pacing around biting down on my lip. Eric finally grabs my arm gently and makes me face him he saying reassuringly. "It's gonna be fine jagi. I know we'll get approved." I sigh a little but nod and look over at Harry who's playing in the floor. Suddenly there's a knock on the door and I take a shaky breath before going to answer it I seeing a woman with a clipboard and a man standing at her side. Blinking I bow politely and move out of the way so they can enter. "Come on in." The woman nods and walks in the man following her. Once they're inside I close the door and head back over to Eric's side. "I'm Mrs Kang and this is Mr Lee. He's here as a translator so we can ask Harry some questions." I blink but nod and say softly. "He's really shy and nervous around new people." I then call out softly. "Harry sweetheart come here." He looks up curiously and walks over to me and Eric his little ears twitching. "Sweetie these people are going to ask you some questions okay? And I want you to be honest and tell them exactly how you feel." He blinks but nods and the man kneels down to Harry's level before starting to speak to the boy in sign language. I watch silently as the man asks him about how he's treated here and if he feels safe. I can see Harry starting to get frustrated though with all the questions he shocking all of us when a weird noise comes from him along with the hoarse whispered words "stop it." I gape in shock along with the others Harry immediately running over to my legs and hugs them I gently petting his ears lovingly. He turns his head to look at the two strangers and pouts at them struggling but manages to say "love daddy and appa." My expression softens and I gently scoop him up into my arms cuddling him and Eric holds us both close lovingly. The woman clears her throat before nodding. "Let's just take a look at his room and we'll be done." We lead her to Harry's bedroom it really big for such a little boy with a comfy bed and multiple books and toys all over the place. She eyes the room before nodding and writes something down before looking at me and Eric. "Alright well it seems everything is in order. Congratulations on your son." I immediately feel relieved and we lead her and the man out of the apartment before I turn to Harry. "Sweetie does it hurt to talk? Or do you just struggle?" He signs that he struggles a little with words and I look at Eric. "We may be able to get him a speech therapist who can help him talk." Eric nods and assures me we'll look into one. I smile happily then suddenly start feeling a little sick I gently setting Harry down and rush to the bathroom I immediately getting violently sick. Once I'm finished I groan and wipe my mouth before flushing the toilet and quickly brush my teeth. Once I'm finished I walk out of the bathroom to see a worried Eric but I just smile reassuringly. "I'm fine it's probably just a stomach bug." He slowly nods and I rub my eyes tiredly before murmuring softly. "I'm gonna go lay down okay?" Eric nods assuring me it's fine and to rest and he'll take care of Harry and order dinner. I smile thankfully before heading to bed where I immediately fall asleep.

*a few days later*

(Eric's Pov)

Over the next few days Sander is still sick and I'm getting worried. Currently though I'm in practice with Harry in the back playing I having brought him with me so Sander could get some rest. After a few hours of practice though I get this bad feeling in my stomach when I realize that Sander hasn't texted me since early this morning. Frowning the next break we have I get Sangyeon's attention. "Hey I'm gonna go home and check on Sander. He's not answering my texts or anything. Can you guys watch little man?" They all nod reassuringly and tell me they'll get Kira to come help too. I nod thanking them then rush out of practice and walk towards our apartment where I quickly unlock the door and enter only to immediately panic my heart dropping in fear when I see Sander laying in the floor unconscious I immediately rushing over and kneel beside him taking him into my arms he having a slight bump on his head I trying to get him to wake up. "Jagi wake up. Please wake up." After not getting any response I quickly pull out my phone and call an ambulance before I call Sangyeon and let him know what's going on. I scoop Sander up into my arms and rush outside to wait for the ambulance I reluctantly handing him over when it comes and I head to the front to go to the hospital I not allowed in the back. Once we arrive at the hospital I immediately follow behind the stretcher until I'm stopped by a nurse that leads me to a waiting room I grumbling but stay in the waiting room pacing around my stomach twisting with fear and concern. After what feels like forever I recognize doctor Chang approaching me I quickly making my way over worriedly. "Is he okay?" He gives me a little reassuring smile. "He's fine just a small bump on the head. He passed out from low blood sugar. Has he been eating regularly?" I frown a little and shake my head. "No he's been sick these past few days so he's been sticking to water." Doctor Chang hums before saying softly. "Well we found the reason for his sickness." I immediately look curious and concerned but the doctor just smiles. "He's pregnant. A few weeks actually. And the baby's fine we checked after we heard he fell." My eyes widen in pure shock and disbelief trying to process it through my mind before snapping out of it and ask softly. "Can I see him?" He nods and leads me back to a room I rushing to Sander's side when I see him awake and sitting up looking confused. "What happened?" I sit at his bedside and take his hand holding it. "You passed out and hit your head jagi. How are you feeling?" He blinks frowning a little. "Despite being nauseous and having a headache I'm fine." I can't help but smile a bit. "We found out why you've been so sick." He looks at me curiously and I say softly. "You're pregnant jagi. A few weeks and the baby's fine." His eyes widen a little looking shocked before he says softly. "So we're going to have a baby?" I nod smiling and a smile crosses his face looking happy. "I can't believe it. Harry's going to be a big brother." I smile and kiss his hand. "Yep we're going to have an addition to the family." He smiles before looking weak and tired my expression softening. "Sleep jagi you need your rest." He slowly nods and lays down getting comfortable and slowly falls asleep I staying awake to look after him.
