His Sanctuary [Jikook]

Chapter 44

3RD PERSON POV

"Hey, hey hey... I can do that for you."

"Don't touch that. Let me do it for you."

"Baby, just rest. I got this."

"Is it healthy for you to do that?"

"Hey, careful, don't touch anything."

The smaller sighs, he drops the dishcloth on the floor and huffs in annoyance. His footsteps echoe through the walls as he drags his slippers towards the lounge. There, he plops down on the couch, his arms folded against his chest. Jungkook rubs his temples, feeling slightly frustrated. He drags his feet towards where Jimin is. He can't ignore the look of anger laced on the smaller's face.

"Princess?" The taller calls out.

"What? I shouldn't sit down? Will you also do that for me?" Jimin replies, and it comes off harsher than he intended. Jungkook takes a seat next to him, softly holding his hands.

"Okay, you're angry." He points out the obvious, but Jimin doesn't bother to justify that with an answer. He scoffs and looks aside, and that's enough for Jungkook to realize that he overdid it.

"I'm sorry baby, I really suck at this, don't I? I just... I'm trying to make sure you're okay, and I don't want you to overwork yourself." Jungkook explains, but Jimin stays quiet, expressing his unhappiness.

"Jimin, I... I'm sorry if you feel like I'm nagging or something. I'm just worried. I wouldn't want anything terrible to happen, so that's why I'm acting like this. I'm sorry." He continues, jimin sighs and looks at him, his eyes softening at the taller's apology.

"Jungkook, I understand... after what happened, you wouldn't want me to be in danger of losing our baby again. But babe, I'm pregnant... not paralyzed. I can do simple things. I can cook, I can lift things up, and I can clean. I'm not even big yet. Can you just tone it down a notch? Please stop treating me like I'm incapable of doing everything." The smaller voices out his opinion. In response, jungkook nods in understanding.

"I'm just scared, but it comes from a good place. You know that, right?"

"Of course, I know. And I love you for it. But just calm down. If my belly grows, then you can act like this." The smaller laughs a little, but Jungkook does not. Instead, he looks a little concerned.

"Why are you saying that?" His deep voice laced with a mix of concern and fear asks.

"What?" The small is confused as he asks, too.

"You said 'if your belly grows'... do you have doubts that we'll have this baby? Why would you say 'if', instead of 'when your belly grows'?" Jungkook asks, and to that, jimin gasps a little in shock.

"I didn't realize." He simply says.

"Park Jimin." The taller calls out, knowing there was more to it than Jimin was kitting out.

"I'm scared that I'll disappoint us and lose this baby again. I'm scared that I won't be good enough to carry him. I'm scared that we'll suffer the same fate over and over again. What if I...''

"Okay, stop. This is crazy Jimin. Stop acting like that was your fault. Besides, you're healthy enough to carry full term. Namjoon said our baby was growing just fine. Don't worry, I'll take care of you, okay? Do not stress yourself." Jungkook softly mutters while he pecks the smaller hands.

"There's another thing." Jimin mutters while sighing.

"What?" Jungkook's worried voice asks.

"Mom."
