"Mr and Mrs Byun Baekhyun... I'm proud to say you're going to be having.... Twins! Twin boys to be exact."
"______, you're gonna be a mommy to twins!"
Baekhyun said as he kissed my cheek as we watched the ultrasound together."
"And you're going to be a daddy." I said as tears started to stream down my face.
"_______, don't cry." He said as he wiped away my tears."
"It's okay. They're tears of joy. I'm just so happy for us."
"Me too. We're finally going to have a perfect family!"
After we finished up in the doctors office Baekhyun helped me up and we went home. Once we got home Baekhyun made Rice and chicken for dinner. Once he was finished cooking we ate in the living room as we looked through baby books to find ideas for baby names.
" how about Baekhyun Jr.?" Baekhyun asked jokingly.
"I don't think so." I Said starting to giggle. "We need to find original names. Special ones that not many people have. How about this one? Nolan? I really like this one."
"Nah.
"Carter?"
"I think that's one of my second cousin's names."
"How about Ha-Neul? It means sky or heaven in Korean. It's perfect because our babies will be gifts from heaven....
I really like this one too."
"Hmm I don't know... Lets keep looking."
We continued looking for names never finding ones we could agree on.
Life continued on and was uneventful for a while, and each day I got closer and closer to my due date.
One night when I was in bed I had a sharp pain in my stomach. And I started to bleed.
"Baekhyun! Baekhyun I'm losing them!" I started screaming as we got into the car and rushed to the hospital.
"Everything is going to be fine _____ just take deep breaths! We're almost there!"
Once we got there Baekhyun rushed me inside the ER yelling for a doctor. A group of nurses then came over to me and helped me on a gurney. Once I was secure on it they rushed me down the hall. Baekhyun tried to run after and follow but another nurse stood there holding him back.
"I'm sorry sir but you need to stay here."
In response to this he stayed put and shouted down the hallway "______, I love you! Everything is going to be fine!"
I quietly whispered back "I love you too." Knowing he didn't hear me.

About an hour later a doctor came out to talk to Baekhyun.
"Byun Baekhyun?"
"Yes that's me. Is she..? Are they...? Are they alright.?"
"I'm sorry. We tried everything we could, but we lost them."
At that moment Baekhyun broke down, falling to the ground at the doctor's feet bawling. He felt as though his heart had been ripped from his chest.

"But We were able to save one. You now have one baby boy.

"Come on Nolan! Lets put your shoes and coat on!"
"Are we going to visit Mommy?"
"Of course! And little brother!"
"Yay!"
Baekhyun helped the small boy put on his shoes and coat, and then they walked outside.
They walked down the street past the park, hand in hand while the little boy skipped down the sidewalk next to Baekhyun.
Then the two of them turned a corner and Nolan let go of Baekhyun's hand, running up the hill.
"C'mon Papa! We're almost there!"
The little boy said as he ran towards a big stone.
"Hi mommy." Nolan said as he ran to and hugged the stone "I missed you."
"And I missed you too little brother." He said as he hugged the other stone.
Then as Baekhyun reached the top of the hill, Nolan sat down infront of the two stones and began to cry.
"Daddy why can't Mommy and little brother be here with us?"
"We'll." Baekhyun began as he wiped away his sons tears in the same way he once did for his wife.
"Mommy and Ha-Neul are in Heaven, which is a much nicer place than here. God needed to call them back to heaven, so it was time for them to go. Someday We will meet them again when God calls us back to heaven.
And if you ever feel lonely just look up at the sky because mommy and Ha-Neul are watching you from there. In fact Ha-Neul's name means heaven. So just look to heaven and you will see him."
"And mommy?"
"An mommy."
"But I still miss them daddy."
"I know. I do too." Baekhyun said as the two of them sat together facing the two stones while tears began to stream down his face, with no one to wipe them away.
"It's okay daddy. We'll see them again someday." Nolan said as he held up a tissue for Baekhyun.
"Yes we will." Baekhyun said as he took the tissue from Nolan and hugged him.
The two sat together, Nolan in Baekhyun's lap, as they sat next to the two headstones, watching the sun set.
The 4 of them there, together as a perfect family. Some on heaven and some on Earth. But still together..
