김석진 | Seokjin Imagines

(1) A boy or a girl?

One Shot

"Now, Y/N씨 (a formal title used on people) I'm going to need you to keep breathing for me okay sweetie?" A nurse says kindly, wheeling you into an empty room.

"I don't need to breathe dammit. What I need is my damn husband!! Son of a bitch, KIM SEOKJIN WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU" you scream in frustration and the nurse only sweat drops, smartly staying silent at your rant.

AN HOUR EARLIER

You whistle sweetly, as you rub your soon-to-be son/daughter affectionately. You're 9 months along, due to deliver any day now, and you can't wait.

In the first few months, things were easy; you didn't have to struggle with the weight that left your feet and back aching and you had no trouble keeping the morning sickness at bay. Your husband, Jin, always got you the weird cravings you asked for –demanded, actually- even though it grossed him out most of the time.

You laugh, recalling his expression when you once asked for vanilla ice cream with sriracha sauce and dried fish to go together with your French fries drizzled with vinegar and gumdrops. Thankfully you lost those weird cravings a while ago. But still, you liked looking back at those memories every now and then.

You tell yourself that you've been preparing for this the moment you found out you were expecting, so at this point nothing could ruin your mood. The excitement gradually built up over the past few months and although Jin was busy with promotional activities with the guys, he came home whenever he could.

You both also decided not to know the gender of your baby until he/she was born and because of that, the other members took it upon themselves to predict whether it'd be a boy or a girl.

"Good times... personally I hope we have a little boy..." you think absentmindedly while waddling towards the kitchen to get some snacks.

Settling down in your chair, you munch on your toast quietly while finishing up your third book about childcare. You feel a kick, so you put the book down and rub your protruding belly lovingly.

"Nothing will ever make me regret having you" you whisper, full of promise but then feel something warm drip down your leg.

Your eyes widen in comprehension when you see a puddle of water below you, and you immediately dial Jin's manager as you grab your car keys and drive to the hospital

NOW

"I REGRET EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BABY, WHY IS EVERYTHING HURTING" you wail, feeling an extremely painful tightening in your abdomen, as the nurse attaches an IV drip in the vein under the back of your palm.

She looks up at you, looking at you pitifully as she explains "You're having your contractions right now, which will come in frequently from this point onwards. This helps your cervix dilate enough so that your baby-"

"TELL ME IN ENGLISH DAMMIT!" you scream as another wave of pain courses through you.

"...You're going to have a lot more painful contractions until the baby decides it wants out..." she replies back unfazed.

"WELL THEN UNCONTRACT ME" you say and she shakes her head sadly.

"We can't do that, but what we can do is give you some Epidural to help lessen the pain" she clarifies and you nod your head immediately, not caring what they had to give you as long as the ache died down.
