Growing Together

Chapter 37

"Mork, I'm happy you are so passionate about helping everyone around," P'Sun had said as he followed his wife into the kitchen out of worry. Despite, agreeing to jumping into this business with his friends and dedicating time to map out blue prints and prototypes. He had also continued helping at the bakery even though Sun had told him to take it easy. "But baby, you are 6 months pregnant..."

"Almost 7 months," Kitty chimed in as she washed the dishes in the sink.

"Right, almost 7 months with twins. You are putting too much strain on yourself." Sun had said. He had been worried since Mork had called him crying because he had gotten such a sharp pain in his stomach that he had them rushing to the hospital. Luckily, thanks to the doctor the pain had subsided and asked Mork to take it easier—'Getting enough rest is the best remedy, exercise is good to an extent.' He had said.

"But, this is still our business, too. I can't just stop helping here. The café keeps getting busier and busier thanks to that article. How do you expect me to rest, when we are slammed most days?" Mork said turning towards his husband.

"I will hire more people, don't you worry about that," Sun promised as he places his hands gently at Mork's side, gently rubbing his thumbs over his hips like he did out of habit. "You and our babies are more important right now. The doctor asked you to take it easy and get as much rest as you can. I won't argue with you if you want to work on your own business, but you can't do both right now Mork," Sun said gently trying to reason with his wife as he let his hands slide over his belly.

"Fine, but at least let me help in some way until you find someone to hire on," Mork had said giving in. He knew that Sun and Kitty were concerned for him, but he also hadn't planned for things to have happened this fast. He was just visiting Kao to tell him about the news of the babies, when P'Forth was there trying to convince them to join him on building a company. He hadn't meant to eavesdrop nor open his mouth to give his opinion when no one had asked, but Forth had welcomed it and extended that invitation to him because of it. From them on he had split this time from the Café and The Office—Pete & Kao's home, which had enough spare rooms to house their business while it was in it's infancy. Although recently, P'Forth and Pete had secured a new building for them to move into, though from his understanding he and Kao would continue to work from the office in his home. 

"How about you stick to the register? Kitty can take over baking for now and Rain and I will serve," Mork said already thinking of pulling a chair to the counter so that Mork could comfortably sit and work so not to further strain himself.

"I think maybe considering extending will also need to be added to the list of things to do," Rain said joining them in the back after finally coming down from the residence part of the bakery. "Thanks to P'Kate, we're out growing this place fast. There hardly is any place to sit now, even the patio area gets reserved fast."

"I know, that is something we will have to talk about," Sun said looking at his wife, "But it can wait, right now what's more important is you, your health, and our babies. After they're born maybe we can consider expanding."

"P'Sun..." Mork said with a small smile, he was moved by his husband's concern and worry, but the bakery was also something important to him.

"Mork, you matter more to me," Sun said as if he had read his thoughts. Which the sentiment had Mork wrapping his arms around his neck and pulling him in for a kiss.

"Gross, P'Kitty help me move the chairs would you?" Rain had said making an excuse for both of them so they could leave the two alone to be disgustingly sweet alone.

"I still reserve the right to name one of the babies!" P'Kitty yelled out to the couple as she crossed the threshold of the door and headed back into the main café area with Rain. "Me too!" Rain had called out after her.

"We have been struggling to agree on the names," Mork had said jokingly to his husband once he had pulled away from their kiss.

"I don't know how I feel about letting Rain and Kitty name our sons," Sun said with a small chuckle, "They will most likely give them names of a celebrity too hard for us to pronounce." Which wasn't completely a lie, both Rain and Kitty were big fans of keeping up with celebs—both for different reasons.

"We can always consider it as an option for now," Mork said with a smile as he looked down at their joint hands on his belly. It was hard to believe how fast time passed, soon they would have a full house. It felt like only yesterday he was getting engaged and now here they were about to start their family. P'Sun had been over the moon when the doctor had told them that they were expecting boys. "About the expansion, we should think about doing it now. Rain is not wrong for once about this, it's a good idea." Mork said lifting his hands to cup his husband's cheeks.

"I know that, but You will need me and so will these two," Sun said gently stroking Mork's belly. "I don't want to put to much on my plate and not have time to be with you when you need me."

"We'll always need you P', we are you're family, but the café is also important to you. We can do it." Mork assured, it was a good time for it anyways.

"Okay, if you think so, then I'll look into," Sun said pressing another kiss to Mork's head before he was guiding his husband back out when Kitty had called them to get going. They promised to talk about it later, but for now Sun had focused on getting Mork comfortable on a chair by the register before he went to open up the café for the day.
