Just Like Now

Step on Ice

§§§§§

Seona was standing in the head of department's office when Sehun got in. He didn't understand what was going on or why he had to be called in.

"I'm sorry it was my mistake," Seona apologized.

"I won't blame you for the missing files," the head of department turned to him, "I know you're busy, but you should better supervise everyone under you. We can't have documents going missing every week. Luckily they weren't confidential papers."

"I apologize," Sehun nodded his head in understanding.

"You two are dismissed," the head of department said. Looking at Sehun he assured, "Take your time coming in. Good luck with the doctor."

The moment the door closed Seona eagerly followed him down the hallway, "Why are you going to the doctor? Is something wrong?" She touched his arm then reached up to feel his forehead.

Moving away Sehun asked, "Seona, what'd you do with those papers?"

Suddenly turning innocent, she explained, "I must have left them in my cabinet somewhere. I can look for them later. I'm sorry I got you in trouble, bitut I didn't know you were going to the doctor's. Are you sick? Or are you hurting somewhere?"

"I'm fine."

"Then...why?" she pestered.

Sehun didn't want to talk about Namjoo's pregnancy to anyone at work but family. Their private life was theirs...and it was special to him. Having outsiders prying into his every move was irritating. And Seona was an outsider to his and Namjoo's marriage.

"Is it Namjoo?" Seona guessed. She sounded bitter when she said, "You must be worried a lot."

"You should go back to work."

"Do you like thinking about someone else when you're with me?" Seona asked, as if he was the one in the wrong. Maybe she was right. He had cheated on her, but right now he was also married to someone else. The guilt blurred everything so much that it was hard to think at times. There was one thing that was top priority at this moment and that was heading to the hospital where Namjoo was alone. She had been edgy this morning and he could see the anxiety quivering in her eyes as she assured him she could go alone. Knowing that told him that he couldn't leave her. He wanted to be there with her and know what the doctor told her. He wanted to know if Namjoo was healthy and what else he needed to do to keep her happy.

"I have to go," Sehun told then turned away to start toward the elevator.

It took him nearly 20 minutes to reach the hospital then another 5 to find a parking space. Checking his watch, he rushed into the large hospital, ran around until he got lost and had to stop a doctor for directions to the OB/GYN. The look of relief on Namjoo's face when he finally made it made him want to run up and hug her. Then they were in and nearly 10 minutes later he was seeing his baby for the first time. A little embryo ready to grow stronger and bigger, its heart beating loudly. It was a fascinating thing to see although he couldn't understand where to see the tiny fingers and toes he was more than happy.

Namjoo was nearly seven weeks pregnant, which meant he'd gotten her pregnant before they even got married. The fact made him grew shy when they walked out.

"When did she say we have to come back?" he asked as they reached the front doors.

"In a month," Namjoo replied staring down at the ultrasound. "Is everything ok at work?"

Glancing at her made his heart palpitate a little faster. "It's nothing. Everything's fine."

"I drove my car, so you don't have to worry about taking me back," Namjoo explained.
