Are You Ready?

Right On Time

39 weeks and 6 days pregnant

"Hello?" Jimin says as he answers his phone, already seeing it was Jungkook.

"So I've been having tiny contractions for a while now, nothing major. But I was wondering if you could watch Kyungie for us until Tae's mom gets out of work? Tae isn't home right now either, he's doing an interview for that last drama he was in, so could I hang out there until Tae gets home too? I don't wanna be alone." The younger laughs.

"Yeah, just...don't give birth in my house. Okay?" Jimin teases and hears Jungkook chuckle on the other line.

"I won't."

*******

Although Jimin was fine with taking Jihyun and Minyoung over to the Taekook house, Jungkook wasn't having it. But watching Jungkook waddle across the lawn with a cotton candy pink diaper bag with with white bunnies on it was hilarious. For reasons unknown, Kyungsan wanted to carry his mother's bag which was probably too heavy for the little boy, but he still tried anyway. Jimin watched with amusement from the opened front door as Jungkook goes to take it from him.

"No! I gots it!" The three-year-old shouts. Jungkook just puts his hands up in mock surrender and takes a step back. Kyungsan's face scrunches with determination as he adjusts his grip on the bag and literally drags it across the grass all the way up to Jimin's house.

"Hey, Kyungie." Jimin smiles as he greets the toddler.

"Where Jiji?" Kyungsan pants as he drags the bag to the steps.

"He's in the living room. Can I take that?" Jimin says point at the bag.

"Yeah." Kyungsan drops the bag on the spot and walks right past Jimin and into the house.

Jungkook throws his hands up in disbelief as Jimin picks up the bag.

"He lets you carry it? Are you kidding me, he would rather wear himself out than just let me carry it? Areum's bag is much lighter. But he literally told me 'No, mommy, I'm a man now. I can do it myself.' He's three!"

"It's because you're pregnant and he wants to help his mommy." Jimin coos. Jungkook just rolls his eyes and walks inside.

*******

"She'll be coming soon. I can feel It, especially the pressure of her head pushing down." Jungkook held his stomach as he and Jimin sat down on the couch. She doesn't move around much these days, especially with the limited room.

"I'm surprised you made it to see Sunhee at the hospital." Jimin laughed. "Well, then again that was a month ago. But you were eight months pregnant and Kyungie is still pretty needy."

"I just can't help but want to be on the go. I have so much energy with her. But Tae is trying to keep me in the house. He's afraid my water is going to break when I'm crossing the street or something." He rolls his eyes. "This pregnancy has been even smoother than when Kyungie was in my belly, except the morning sickness. And I'm also not even performing."

"I did that to Yoongi. But the circumstances were much different. He listened to my advice, but not without grumbling, of course. Ya know, I never got to ask why you choose the name Areum."

"Oh, Tae's late grandmother picked it out before Kyungsan was even a sperm cell, and we both liked it."

"That's beautiful! I love it! She's going to be so pretty! I hope Kyungsan takes to her quickly. It took Jihyun almost a month before he accepted Minnie. His big sister helped a lot though, it was hell with a newborn and an eleven-month-old. I swear they had screaming contests. Minnie was so tiny, yet she was already on his level. I think she could be a singer with those lungs despite being a premie baby!" The two laughed, gaining attention from Kyungsan, Jihyun, and Minyoung. The three babies didn't know what was funny, but they joined in the laughter. In the midst of it Jungkook felt a pain in his lower stomach. He let out a tiny hiss and put a hand over the spot. "You okay?" Jimin placed a hand on the younger's knee with concern.
