Jisung is more than halfway through his pregnancy, and he's still having trouble falling and staying asleep. Sometimes Minho can help him fall asleep, by rubbing his back or playing in his hair while they lay down together. Other times though, Jisung just has to lay in the dark with his eyes closed and hope sleep will come for him. He's hoping tonight isn't one of those nights because he has work in the morning and would like to not function off of two hours of sleep for the entire day.
"Hyung?" Jisung whispers in the dark of the alpha's bedroom. There's a large window across from Minho's bed and brightness from the streetlights outside bleeds in through it. Minho has his arm tucked underneath Jisung's pillow and the alpha is slightly turned towards him with Jisung's head on his chest. The omega can see that his eyes are closed and he's breathing evenly. He still calls out to him quietly on the off chance he wasn't fully asleep yet.
"Hm?" Minho hums back in response with his eyes still closed.
"You're not asleep?" Jisung whispers back as if there's someone else to wake up if he's too loud.
"No, not yet. What's wrong?" The alpha cracks his eyes open slightly to glance down at Jisung in the dimly lit room.
"I can't sleep." Jisung tells the older. Minho has heard the same phrase said to him in this same dark room multiple times over the past two months. Without even being asked, the alpha is moving his hand from under Jisung's pillow to run his fingers through the younger's hair.
They sit in silence for a while as Minho plays in Jisung's hair in an attempt to relax him enough to fall asleep. The alpha's eyes have fallen back closed but his hand stays busy. Jisung closes his eyes too but he doesn't feel like he'll fall asleep.
"Can you rub my belly instead?" The omega speaks up softly and the alpha nods tiredly in response. Jisung feels bad that he's keeping Minho up since the alpha has work too, and he actually has to wake up even earlier than him.
Jisung shifts back a little so Minho can have better access to his belly that's pressed between their bodies. The alpha's eyes are still closed as he pushes his hand underneath Jisung's shirt to rub the taut skin of his bump. His hand is warm and soft and Jisung can feel fluttering in his belly as his pup gently moves and shifts inside of him, as if she is trying to get comfortable for bed too. The movement makes it a little hard for him to relax, but she seems to settle after a while and he starts to doze off.
Then there's a sudden jerk in his belly that startles him awake. It seems to have surprised Minho too because the alpha is looking at Jisung with his previously tired eyes now open and alert. There's a furrow in his brow as if he was questioning what he just felt, and Jisung isn't sure either. He hadn't felt anything like that yet and he was half asleep when it happened so he isn't even sure if he felt it correctly. It happens again though, and this time Jisung is awake.
"Is that her?" Minho asks in a whisper gesturing to Jisung's belly. Their pup moves inside of the omega again, this time it feels like the familiar flutters and not whatever she'd done that Minho could feel as well.
"I think so? I've never felt her do that before though" Jisung responds quietly. At the same time he says this, Lil' Min does it again! This time Minho's head pops up in surprise as he blinks rapidly at the omega. Jisung can't help but huff out a laugh at the quizzical yet eager look on the older's face.
"That's her moving?!" Minho asks excitedly as he starts to sit up in the bed. He doesn't remove his hand from Jisung's tummy as he does and the omega can't stop giggling at his reaction.
"Yeah, it definitely is. What else would it be?" Jisung nods with a laugh. Then Minho is yanking the cover off of the younger's body, which makes him yelp in surprise. "Yah! What-" he doesn't get much of a chance to complain because Minho is lowering himself down the bed to be eye-level with their baby.
"Lil' Min, can you do it again?" The alpha speaks directly to her and he pulls away only for a second to roll Jisung's shirt up to expose all of his bump. "Yah, I know you hear me" he lightly scolds her, but he has an adorably bright grin that makes Jisung smile too.
The omega turns onto his back so that Minho could have full access to his belly now. He watches as the alpha presses his face against Jisung's bump as he rubs it, hoping their baby would let him feel her move again. She does. A particularly strong kick aimed straight for her alpha father's face makes her parents giggle. Minho places a kiss to the spot she'd just kicked before he's talking again, not to Jisung, but to their daughter.
"My baby girl, I'm so ready to meet you. Appa's so excited." He tells her and Jisung feels his heart swell with adoration for the alpha. "You make me so happy, princess. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me." His voice dips into a whisper, only loud enough for the three of them to hear within this room.
Jisung feels his eyes well up with tears and he tries to fight them off. A overwhelming mixture of emotions flow through him as he watches Minho. The feelings that stand out the most are the unbridled gratitude that Jisung feels towards the alpha, and pure fondness for the love Minho feels for their baby already. He finds himself unable to stop the tears as he thinks of how grateful he is that Minho was the one he'd made her with. What were the chances that Minho would be her other dad? They couldn't have been great, but somehow, he's found himself here- with Minho. He feels so happy.
"Are you crying?" Minho looks up when Jisung runs his hands through the alpha's hair affectionately. He sees delicate tears falling onto the omega's cheeks, glistening from the streetlights and the moon pouring in from the window. Jisung tried to hide them because he didn't want to ruin the moment by worrying Minho, but the alpha is looking up at him already in concern.
"They're not sad tears, I promise" the younger tells him with a light watery laugh. Minho moves back up the bed to wrap his arms around Jisung and rubs his back comfortingly. "Is she really the best thing that's ever happened to you, hyung?" Jisung asks with a sniffle as Minho hooks his chin over the omega's shoulder.
"Yeah, she is. I can't think of anything that has made me happier at this point." Minho replies and he pulls away to wipe the younger's tears. "Are you feeling bad for me or something? My life really isn't that depressing, I'm just really happy right now." The alpha jokes to try to make Jisung stop crying. The omega replies with a playfully roll of his eyes and a wet laugh.
Jisung sniffles as he wipes his eyes and Minho watches him with a clear gaze. His eyes feel as though they weigh a ton as they look at the younger, swirling with too many emotions that neither of them have the courage to share. Instead of saying anything, Minho simply pulls Jisung back into him in a weighty embrace. He kisses Jisung's cheek and neck, before nosing into the omega's scent gland. The alpha scents him deeply and the tears slowly dissipate.
Jisung falls asleep drenched in browned butter and cinnamon. He also sleeps better than he has in a long time, even before he was pregnant. With the alpha wrapped around him, he feels safe and cared for. The other emotions that churn inside his chest are left to be addressed at a later time. For now, he sleeps.
