"No!" You shout at him already overwhelmed with the big discovery that you've made. "I just told her I didn't like the cake she brought but since everybody else was enjoying it she just assumed that I might be... and then I realised that lately I've been developing aversions to things I usually like. So I just didn't correct her..." you give him an explanation. You are hurt by how he saw you crying but still had to mention this.

"And when were you going to tell me? When the baby is coming out of you?" He asks.

It's difficult for him to process this too. It's not something he had been expecting at all. He had the same idea as you that just one night of going raw wouldn't hurt.

"Kook..." you try to speak.

He interrupts, "You should've informed me if you were suspecting anything. You should've told me before taking the test. You even lied to me in the car when you went to the pharmacy," he says standing across the sofa from you. You stand in front of where you were sitting.

"Do you know what this means?" You ask just in case he doesn't knows. He nods.

You look down at the floor, then at the wall but not at him.

"I'm sorry Jungkook. I made a mistake. I should've known better, should've been more careful. It's just that I saw you after so many days that night. And then we confessed to each other, and it was such a special moment. I'm surprised how I completely forgot about protection. And it didn't occur to me even in the following days because we were in this haze and sex didn't come up so I wasn't reminded of it again. And when I realised it was too late to take an after morning. I'm sorry that I wrecked all your plans," you cry looking at him. He stands in his place unable to react, formulate a reply. He's shocked by the news.

"It's just that this is something created with our love. It was the most beautiful night of my life and the fact that something was created out of that moment which we can keep with us forever. I also know we aren't ready for this yet, it's also a mistake at the same time. I don't know," you break down unable to speak anything more.

All you can think about is that you want to protect and keep safe the little life growing inside you. And you've no regrets about whom you've made this baby with.

"Oh god no... we aren't going to... no! We'll figure it out," he hugs you and caresses your back while you cry with your face pressed to his chest.

"And it's not just your mistake. It's mine too. I'm not a kid who doesn't knows what can happen if I'm not careful. I made a mistake too. I was carried away too because it was also special to me. Once I saw you I just forgot every other thing and all I could think was that I was one with you. We've figured out a way around things so far we will handle this together too. And we're married, we were going to do it someday," he says. His hand rests on your belly. You look at him in his eyes that shine with tears in them.

"I want you to take care of yourself. It's done, that's it. Just think about the future now. About our family. Our baby. How we're going to raise him or her. I'll manage my plans and goals accordingly. It's not like my life is going to end as soon as this kid comes out. I'll still be going to work." He keeps his hands on your shoulders and very carefully makes you sit down on the sofa.

"I just want you to eat healthy, rest well so that our baby can be healthy too," he says fixing your hair and wiping your face clean.

"I'm scared Jungkook," you say holding his hand.

"It's all gonna be okay. We're gonna be a happy family. And I'm gonna be here through the easy and the hard." He kisses the side of your head.

You rest your head on his shoulder.

"Ryuwon won't tell anyone right? I just wanna keep it between us for a while," he says.

"No, I asked her to keep it a secret. She said she also wants us to tell everyone when we want to," you tell him what Ryuwon told you.

"Well, are you sure the test is correct though? Are such thin strips that accurate?" He asks.

"I tried to do it correctly. Should we take another?" You ask.

"It wouldn't hurt to double check," he says. He takes his phone out and orders a digital one.

Once the test kit arrives, you take it again but this time you have an impatient knocking on the door every two seconds asking if he can come in. He ends up coming in while you're still pulling your pants up.

He takes the test from you and checks it for a result. You walk around knowing what it's gonna show. But when his alarm goes off you lean over his shoulder to see it and it clearly shows the word pregnant on it with a 3+ sign meaning you're more than three weeks along.

"We're gonna be parents," he says pulling you closer to himself. He smiles looking at you. His smile brings a smile to your face too. He leans in and kisses you. You reciprocate the kiss.

"I wanna sleep now," you tell him.

"Oh yeah, let's go straight to bed," he starts to walk out of the bathroom with you.

"Wait, I have to brush my teeth," you tell him.

You send him out and brush your teeth. Mistakenly when you keep your hand on your belly, you keep it there for a little longer and check yourself in the mirror. You try to imagine how you'll look with a bump.

You look at Jungkook sitting outside on the sofa and try to imagine how a baby like him would look. Then you also think what if the baby looks like you. What if it's personality is like you too. You don't have any close friends just a few of your employees that you talk with sometimes. Hoseok and Yoongi are mostly the ones that you talk too and go out to have drinks with. All the girls are mostly intimidated by you. What if you have a mini best friend in the making.

Jungkook starts to make a list of things he has to do. He tries to find the best doctor who is close to your home as well as your office. He finds a maternity clinic located somewhere in between which is very close to your neighbourhood and not very far from your office. He has heard about the doctor from his colleagues, they always have a good feedback.

"Hey, what are you doing?" You sit down beside him as he sighs looking at his phone.

"Trying to book an appointment. Dr Kim Seokjin is the best gynaec around here but he's out for some conference. So the earliest appointment is after eight days. Do you think we should wait that much?" He asks.

"I think eight days isn't too much. If he's really great than we should wait," you say.

"He has a good track record. Some of my colleagues had their babies delivered by him. He never forces anyone to get c-sections unless it's an emergency. He always tries to get people to deliver as naturally and painlessly possible," he tells you.

"I do wanna try for a natural birth but not too hard. If it gets really painful I'll just take an epidural. I haven't heard great things about c-section so not unless there's no other option," you say. You've always had a vague idea about how you'd like to give birth if you get the opportunity.

"I'll be by your side no matter what you choose," he says. You press a kiss on his cheek.

"I feel so bad. I ate so much crap for the last week and I was pregnant all this time," you say feeling guilty. He tries to convince you that as far as you maintain good nutrition from now onwards the baby should be fine.

You go to bed talking about things you two just have to do while raising your kid and things that are totally unacceptable. Luckily your and his ideas and values align.
