Jungkook decided to stay the weekend with his mate, Jimin and Yoongi left in the morning after such a wonderful night spent with the Dog hybrids. They were a bit hungover, but they wished everyone well and handed back to their home through the early morning sun.

Jungkook was happy he had time to spend with his mate, even he could sense he was being more clingy than usual, but Jungkook blamed that on the fact he hadn't seen his mate in two weeks. And because they finally sealed their bond, both of their instincts would be a bit more haywire.

Just basic tasks that drew them away from each other made them upset and Jungkook once cried because he thought Taehyung was leaving him forever when really, his mate had left to grab him his favorite dish.

Although Jungkook's emotions were more sensitive, Taehyung's were more protective. His hyungs came over once after the gathering and they could barely even touch Jungkook without Taehyung growling possessively and pulling his mate back onto his lap.

It made his hyung's eyes roll while Jungkook preened at the attention.

During one of their lazy afternoons, Jungkook napped while Taehyung was in studio, focusing intently on one of his canvases as this was a custom asked piece so Taehyung wanted to make sure he made it just right.

Jungkook fell in and out of sleep, yawning and stretching, again wincing when he felt tension below his abdomen. Lingering pains after one's heat is common, but this tightening around his tummy was starting to occur more times than normal.

Even crazier, his tummy looked a bit bloated, making Jungkook drowsily blink and sit up in surprise, running his fingers over the bloated texture.

"What did I eat badly yesterday?" Jungkook mumbled to himself, they hadn't eaten anything heavy for dinner the day before. Taehyung had actually made them tuna salads which pleased his stomach.

Jungkook was going to tell his mate about what was going on, maybe get some insight but he decided to go to the bathroom first as he needed to release his bodily fluids. Once he padded into the clean bathroom, did his business, he felt a bit better so Jungkook concluded that maybe he was just feeling discomfort because his bowels were messed up.

"Weird." Jungkook commented to himself, washing his hands as he observed his face in the mirror, frowning a bit when he noticed his face appeared more rounder than usual.

Confused, Jungkook wondered if he was gaining weight, but although Taehyung fed him so much, it was always healthy amounts, never too much. And Jungkook's been to the gym plenty enough to keep his figure in great shape.

"Why do I..." Jungkook whispered, stepping back to analyze his body, pinching his skin and moving side to side. When Jungkook twisted to show his sides, lifting his shirt up is when he felt something he's never felt before.

A tiny, soft kick inside of his stomach.

Jungkook's eyes widened.

Ringing silence filled the room as Jungkook stood so still in front of the mirror, tears silently slipping down his face as his hands slowly, shakily cupped the small bump protruding from his stomach.

"No...no fuckin' way. " Jungkook wheezed, his chest heaving up and down as he whispered. "There's no way...I..."

Suddenly his mind went back to the last time he and Taehyung had sex which was almost two months ago, all the aches, easy exhaustion and discomfort, oh my god, all the signs were there.
