No one pov

They didn't even realize how a month had passed since her wedding. Jin is happy there. After staying for a month, she's even started working again. She got a good job at a hospital here.

She's happy there. Namjoon keeps her happy. She's become Mrs. Kim's whole world, and even Mr. Kim has started to soften toward her. And why wouldn't he? Jin's personality is such that no one can stay distant from her for long.

And Tae is now 9 months pregnant, and the baby could come into the world any day now. And Jungkook is taking really good care of her. he won't even let her go to the washroom alone. Like right now, Tae is upset because he wants to go to the washroom with her, and she doesn't want that.

"Jaan, I'll come with you. What if something happens to you there? What if you fall? I won't look, I promise. I'll just stand far away."

Tae huffed and said, "No, nothing like that will happen. And you stay right here. I'll be back in a second."

Saying that, Tae got up from the bed, holding her stomach with her hand.

And she started walking toward the washroom. As soon as she went inside, Jungkook also stood up and went over to wait near the door. He waited for Tae. When Tae came out and saw him standing by the washroom, she said, "You just won't listen, will you?"

Jungkook laughed and said, "No. You and this baby are my life. I can't leave you alone." He placed his hand on her stomach and looked at her with loving eyes.

Tae smiled and put her hand over Jungkook's, saying, "Yes, and you're my life too."

Jungkook chuckled and said, "Yeah. Now come on."

He took her hand and led her toward the bed.

The moment Tae sat on the bed, she felt a pain in her stomach. She let out a soft hiss, and Jungkook immediately asked, "Are you in pain? Should we go to the hospital?"

Tae said, "No, it was just a little pain. This happens. I already asked the doctor."

Jungkook nodded, but he still kept looking at her with worried eyes.

Tae settled onto the bed properly, resting her back against the pillows, and took a deep breath.

But then the pain hit her again. She grabbed Jungkook's hand and said, "This pain is getting worse."

Jungkook got up immediately and ran outside, telling the maid, "Get the car ready, quickly."

He came back inside, grabbed the bag, and went over to Tae. "Hold my hand," he said. "We're going to the doctor right now." Tae took his hand and tried to get up from the bed, but the pain wouldn't let her stand. She cried out loudly and said, "It hurts so much."

Hearing that, Jungkook scooped her up into his arms.

He rushed outside where Mr. and Mrs. Jeon were already waiting for them.

And they all piled into the white Maruti 800 and rushed to the city hospital. There were no mobile phones to call ahead, so Mr. Jeon just honked the whole way, weaving through cycle rickshaws and scooters.

At the hospital, the ward boys quickly brought out a stretcher. Tae was taken inside, and Jungkook tried to follow, but the nurse at the door put up a hand. "Bhai sahab, gents are not allowed inside the labour room. You wait outside."

He sank onto the wooden bench outside, running his hands through his hair. The hospital smelled of phenyl and Dettol. A ceiling fan creaked overhead. Mrs. Jeon sat murmuring the Gayatri Mantra, counting beads on her mala. Mr. Jeon stood by the window, arms crossed, but his foot kept tapping.

Every time the labour room door opened, Jungkook shot up. A nurse would walk out with bloodstained gloves, and he'd ask, "how is she ? Everything is good (Kaisi hai? Sab theek hai na?)" She'd just say, "Bhagwan pe bharosa rakho," and go back in.

Hours passed. The power cut came twice, and the hospital switched to a generator with a loud hum. Finally, around dawn, the metal doors swung open. The doctor stepped out, removing her mask, smiling tiredly. "congratulations. It's a boy , mother and baby are both well" (Badhaai ho. Ladka hua hai. Maa aur baccha dono theek hain.)

Jungkook exhaled a breath he didn't realize he was holding. "cain i....can i see her" (Kya main... kya main mil sakta hoon?)

"wait for some time. Nurse will call you after cleaning the baby"(Thoda ruk jao. Nurse saaf karke bula legi) the doctor said.

Those ten minutes felt longer than his whole life. When he was finally called in, the room was dim, lit by a single tubelight. Tae lay on the iron cot, hair stuck to her forehead, but her face was glowing. In her arms, wrapped in the hospital's striped cotton cloth, was their son.

Jungkook walked in slowly, He knelt beside the bed. Tae looked up, exhausted but smiling. "Jungkook" walks towards her without looking at his son Mrs Jeon walks behind him and quietly walks towards the baby.

He held tae hand and said "are you okay jaan?"she smiled and said "yes, look at your son" jungkook smile and said "i will , but first let me look at you Jaan" tae smile and said "I'm fine" jungkook nod at her but still looking at her loving gaze his eyes don't move away from her.

Mrs jeon look at her son and feel berh proud that her son love his wife like his father do.
She blush arnher own thoughts and look at her grandchild.

After making sure tae is okay , he walks towards the baby. He touched the baby's cheek with one finger. So soft. The baby yawned, tiny fist curling around Jungkook's finger. Tears ran down Jungkook's face before he could stop them. "my small life (meri choti si jaan).
