Coincidences | Jungkook

Chapter 46

That's it, Nari thought. I'm never getting pregnant again.

She stared at the ceiling as she powered through another contraction. Jungkook was still asleep next to her because she was yet to wake him up. Nari turned her head to look out onto the balcony of their bedroom.

The pain subsided after a few minutes before coming back tenfold. "Fuck." Nari cursed loudly as she sat up against the headboard.

"What's wrong? Is it contractions?" Jungkook mumbled while rubbing his eyes.

"I think so, yeah." Nari breathed out. She gripped the covers when a pain shot through her back. Jungkook moved to sit up next to Nari. He brushed back the auburn hair stuck to her forehead.

"Should I call Julia?" He asked as he reached for his phone on the nightstand.

"Please because these are definitely contractions." She groaned as a contraction left her weak. "Tell her they are fifteen minutes apart and last for three minutes. They started about an hour ago." Jungkook nodded before looking at Nari with a frown.

"An hour ago? Why didn't you say anything lovie?" He asked.

"I didn't want to wake you up." Jungkook just pressed a kiss on her forehead before getting out bed and calling Julia, their midwife.

Nari whined and whimpered whilst Jungkook turned on the ceiling light as he waited for Julia to answer. He knew it'd take a while since it was four in the morning.

"Hello Julia, sorry for calling so early in the morning but Jennifer is in labour. Yeah... fifteen minutes apart... three... the past hour... okay, I'll send our address." He said to Julia when she picked before hanging up.

Jungkook went to put his phone down on the nightstand next to Nari. "She'll be an hour. Do you want anything?" He asked.

"Water and a massage, please." She gave him a weak smile. Jungkook hummed and nodded before leaving to the kitchen where he got a bottle of water out of the fridge.

His mind was reeling, his hands shaking and his heart racing. Jungkook was scared; there was no denying that.

He had 40 weeks to prepare himself and he did try but nothing could prepare him for the feeling of knowing his son would be here any moment.

Would he be a good dad? What did the future look like? All these thoughts were running through his head but he knew he had to be present for the birth and support Nari.

...

It had been a few minutes since Jungkook let Julia into the house and she began birthing exercises with Nari.

He had begun prepping one of the guest bedrooms for the birth to forget how he useless he feels watching Nari screaming in pain.

Jungkook laid out the tarp on the floor and bed and laid out pillows before heading back to the lounge.

Nari turned her head at the sound of footsteps and smiled at the sight of her husband. The smile dropped at the look on Jungkook's face, Nari knew what it was. She would pass soon-to-be fathers outside the maternity ward and they'd all have that one look.

The look of worthlessness.

"You're doing your best, lovie. Just relax and hold my hand." She reassured him. Jungkook understood and flashed her a smile before to sit next her on the floor.

Nari was sitting on the floor doing butterfly stretches while Julia prepped the oxygen concentrator. As she got more dilated, the harder it got to breathe. And because she was already 8cm dilated, she was struggling.
