Don't Leave Me

"Mommy!"

"Shhhh. Mommy's asleep," Saeyoung whispered.

"Not anymore," I groaned and sat up.

"Mommy!" My boys exclaimed.

"Hey babies," I beamed.

"How'd you sleep dear?" Saeyoung asked and kissed me.

"Like I've never slept before," I answered and stood.

"That's a surprise," he chuckled.

"Why daddy?" Lucien asked.

"The babies inside mommy are keeping her awake. Just like you and Seojun when she was pregnant with you two," Saeyoung answered.

"Saeyoung, Anika, Risa wants to go to the park," Saeran said.

"After I eat and shower," I said and stood from the bed.

"Come on boys. Let's let mommy get ready," Saeyoung said and picked up the twins.

"Mommy!" Risa ran in and hugged me. "Good morning Mommy. Let's get a bath!"

"Come on baby," I giggled and picked her up.

"Don't strain yourself," Saeyoung said.

"How many more kids are you two going to have?" Saeran chuckled.

"These two are the last two. Man, twins must really run in the genes," I answered.

"Five kids is too much," he stated.

"Tell your brother that," I retorted.

"I can't help that I love kids," Saeyoung laughed.

"I do too, but after these two are born, no more babies," I said.

"Mommy looks like a watermelon," Seojun giggled.

"Out out out!" I rushed. "Insulting your mother while she's most vulnerable. You should be ashamed of yourself."

"Sorry Mommy," he pouted and walked out.

"Poor Seojun. He really can't tell when you're joking," Saeran sighed.

"Shower mommy. We can talk to Seojun after we're done," Risa said.

"Alright dear," I said and grabbed a fresh change of clothes.

  We went into the bathroom and started our bath. It wasn't a long one, just relaxing and refreshing. I'm glad Saeyoung and I gave up hacking. My babies are my world.

  Speaking of which, I'm due any day now. It hasn't been a complete nine months, but soon. Very soon. I can't wait to pop these two out and be done with labor.

"Put this on," I said to my 5 year old daughter.

  Risa was born two years after Seojun and Lucien. Of the twins, Seojun was born first. Older by 4 minutes. Those two get along great though.

"Are you going to wear a sweater, mommy?" Risa asked.

"Perfect for these moments," I nodded my head yes.

  I felt warmth run down my leg, obviously my water broke. I calmly cleaned up and put on some leggings, then I walked out holding Risa's hand.

"Saeyoung! Saeran! Seojun! Lucien! Let's head to the hospital! The babies are ready to be born!" I shouted and got in the car with my baby bag.

"I'm gonna be a big sister!" Risa squealed and buckled in.

  I watched as the boys rushed out of the house and into the vehicle. I laughed in amusement. This never gets old. You'd think Saeyoung and Saeran would be calm about it by now. Saeyoung sped to the hospital and parked as quickly as he could. I stepped out carefully as he rushed to my side. Saeran picked up Risa and led the twins with us.
