Baby Struggles

Short update. Also, the girl in this chapter is inspired by Svetlana from Shameless (voice only, but I love her)

"Come On, Kookie! We have to get your suit today!" Hoseok smiled and nudged the younger. Jungkook finds himself thinking that Hobi is lucky it's his wedding, because the younger had no intention of squeezing his ass into a suit during his pregnancy aside from some early-on concerts. The moment they got home Jungkook's belly had gotten much bigger and was actually showing now, which he didn't mind.

However, he was right to think so about the suit. The woman was having a hard time finding a jacket to compliment his bump without being baggy in certain areas and she wanted it to be perfect.

"How far along are you?" The lady asked sweetly, voice heavy with a Russian accent, all the while taking measurements to alter his button up and jacket, as well as his slacks.

"Twenty-five weeks." He smiled when she gasped.

"Aw, belly is so small!" She cooed, shoving a pin in the jacket. "Having small belly is not bad thing. Health of mother and baby is what's important."

"He's very healthy and active." She smiled in response and wrapped a tape measure around his waist to the front of his stomach. As she held the tape and wrote down the measurements in chalk on the suit, the baby kicked her hand. On a reaction she put her hand at the spot just a second due to the shock, in the short time she didn't miss how Jungkook flinched.

"Oh sorry, sorry. It startled me, I didn't mean to!" She backed away and bowed.

"It's okay." He attempted to bow back.

"He only let's his baby daddy feel the baby kick." Hoseok pouted.

"My wife, Dominika was the same. Only I could touch belly. First baby?" Jungkook nodded. "You keep gender a surprise?"

"It's a little boy." He rubbed his tummy.

"How many children do you have?" Hoseok asked from the couch, tuned in fully on the conversation now.

"We have four children. Three boys and one little girl. Zakhar, Nico, Alexei, and Liliya. She gave birth four times so she could give me the big family I wanted."

"My husband wants a big family too." Jungkook laughed and smiled at her.

"Measurements are done! Come to front when you have changed, I want you to pick fabric for pants. I make ideal belly support. You stand a lot in wedding, it will help with back pain."

"Thank you so much!"

The suit wouldn't be ready until tomorrow, but for now they could return to the hotel and enjoy the warm weather. Everyone was already at the beach to their dismay, mostly Jungkook's though. He changed into a white prenancy tank top with a sky blue, short-sleeved button-up, and red swimming trunks. He and Hoseok walked down together.

It was something else, being six months pregnant and showing and your friend is walking next to you in only shorts with his abs on display. Jungkook felt like everyone was staring at them despite the very few people they encountered.

"Kookie!" Taehyung ran up to Jungkook. The younger wanted to drool. His husband's dark skin glowed in the sunlight along with droplets of water on his hair and torso. Was this an ab-muscle show? "The water is perfect!" Taehyung then suddenly kissed his pregnant lover.

"I want to enjoy the sun a bit first." He had been standing for a while and he could feel the slightest swell in his ankles. He only basked in the sun for a good fifteen minutes, it really didn't take long for Jungkook to begin feeling overheated. He felt nervous stepping into the water. He hasn't gone swimming while being pregnant, so this was new and scary to him. What if he couldn't hold himself up with the added weight? What if the undertow was strong and swept him away?

"Come on, babe. I got you." Taehyung held his hands and led him into the water. It was cool against his burning skin and chilly once it touched his inner thighs. "Gotta get passed the baby now." He smiled. Jungkook just grinned back and continued his process. The cool water slowly formed around his lower abdomen. He could feel the baby move, but figured he would get used to it. However the further he went into the water, the higher the baby moved. Quickly the unborn child began kicking as hard as he could.

"Ow, ow, ow, I can't do this. He doesn't like it." He held his stomach in pain and slowly made his way out of the water. Taehyung didn't argue, he merely ushered his husband to shore. Jungkook continued to hold his stomach even after he had sat down in one of their chairs in the shade.

"Is this better? Are you still hurting?" Taehyung pouted with worry watching Jungkook rub around his stomach.

"A bit. He's pissed though. He's kicking up into my ribs." He groaned and leaned back further in the chair. Taehyung didn't want to ask about touching the younger's stomach so he settled for rubbing his thighs.

"Hey, you okay?" Yoongi asked, coming back to the canopy to get out of the sun.

"The baby hated the ocean." Taehyung explained, taking his eyes off of Jungkook only for a moment. "He's kicking his mommy in the ribs because of it."

"Well that's hardly fair. Talk to him. Babies like to hear both their mother and father's voice. Maybe sing to him. That's what Jiminnie and I did when Mina was still in the womb. Sometimes it would work to get her to calm down." The older began reapplying a thick layer of sunscreen.

Without much hesitation Taehyung grabbed the sides of Jungkook's belly and began to scold their son. "Hey, mister, you need to be nice to mommy. He didn't do anything wrong, okay? We're out of the water now, you don't have to kick mommy in the ribs any more, okay?" Jungkook felt the kicking ease. Next he could feel the baby turning and begin to tiredly kick at Taehyung's hand. "Wow, it worked!"

"Thank you." Jungkook panted.

"No big deal. Now, if you excuse me. I have to slather my daughter in sunscreen." He waved and walked off to where Mina was playing in wet sand with Nayoung and Sujin.
