You helped, really.

Thirty One

Not again... Sana hasn't been very well lately, she gets sick a lot these days, and we are woken up on the wee hours of the morning with her putting her guts out. I know we should be getting to the hospital, but she is even worse at convincing than mommy, and it took mom seven months to get her to agree on which color to paint my nursery, she ended up settling to the first choice, lilac. But back to the problem at hand, I've been trying to convince Sana to let me take her to the hospital and get her checked up for the past two weeks.

The last couple of days she got a bit worse, so, today we are going and there is nothing she can do to stop me. Just as expected, I find her sitting against the bathtub, still breathing heavy and looking like she fought a squirrel again (story for another time). I just grab a towel and wet it a little, so I can help clean her up a bit.

"I love you." She tries to smile.

"I love you too, and that's why I'm taking you to the e.r."

"But I'm okay, I don't need to go."

"I'm not really asking. I will take you to the hospital and you don't have a choice on the matter."

"Isn't this abusing your wife?"

"If it gets said wife better, sue me. Now, come on, let's get you changed."

"But I look great in these shorts, though?"

"Exactly why we are getting you changed. This hot butt is for my eyes only."

"How did you get like this?"

"Been married to you for a few months already, I had to learn something at some point."

She just giggles and lets me get her up. I just put a chair by the sink for her and head out to wake up Mina [waking Momo would unleash hell and I don't have time for Mina's lectures right now). I just tell her I'm taking Sana to the e.r. and for her to keep an eye on Nayeon, we should be back before lunch. Mina just tells me to update her as soon as possible and she will take care of Nayeon.

"Chou Sana?" A nurse calls us in, not much after i finish her paperwork, I'm not letting Sana stand for so long looking like a zombie as she is now.

They lead us to a room, and the doctor sends Sana out for some tests, after questioning about everything and anything he could think of. You know, just the routine. I remain at the office, and Dr Lee starts another questioning on me, he finishes just before Sana is back, and tells us to wait there for the results. I take the time to tell our parents we are at the hospital, conveniently leaving which one out, and that we are waiting for the results. (Mina and Momo are on the family group chat, so I don't have to tell them separately).

After all is done, Dr Lee comes back in and tells us to have a seat, he looks slightly amused, maybe because I was panicking over nothing, maybe because of the results, I don't know, but his face is telling me there is something. Sana seems to have noticed it too, she is slightly squinting her eyes at him.

"So, I have the results, but a few questions before I tell you."

"Is everything alright, dr?" I can't help but ask.

"Everything is great, in fact. Sana, are your periods regular?"

"Yes? I've been on schedule since I got out of puberty."

"And when was the last time you had one?"

"I think it was before the wedding." Sana's eyes shot open, dr Lee chuckes, and I'm still a bit lost in all this.

"You are telling me..." Sana drifts off looking at the dr, and he just nods, still chickling.

"Are any of you going to tell me what is happening?" I had to ask.

"Well, mrs Chou, I believe congratulations are in order."

I just keep looking between them, Sana has her eyes watery already, dr Lee seems to have noticed I'm still lost and decides to explain further.

"Your wife is pregnant, Jihyo. She is three months along. Do you have a doctor already? I could recommend a colleague."

"We don't, I would love a recommendation." Sana answers.

I can't hear what dr Lee answers, also, why do I feel like being sick? My head feels light and everything is spinning. This is not good. And, with that thought, I pass out. I don't know for how long I've been out but when I come back the sun is blaring outside, it hurts my eyes a bit. Perhaps I was out all morning, oh Sana is here.

"You scared me for a while, there." She says when she notices me stirring.

"How long was I out for?"

"All morning, basically. What happened there?"

"I heard you are pregnant, then I panicked, I think."

"Why would you panic? Shouldn't it be me?" She chuckles.

"I think so, but I began thinking about having a kid, and how I'm not ready at all, and that we are gonna have to tell every-"

"You are panicking again. Relax, you are going to do great, you are already great with Nayeon, although you do spoil her too much."

"But you already did a great raising her before I came up."

"Ji, calm down, you are amazing, even if you don't know it. I love you, Nayeonnie loves you, and you are going to be great with our newborn as well."

"I promise I'll try my best. But we still have to tell everyone, and I'm not that excited for it."

"I know, I told them to come by the house tonight. It's already lunch time, how about we go out to eat, have a date for the rest of the afternoon and then go tell them?"

"Sana, you are a genius."

"No, that would be you, honey. Let's go get you discharged and let me spoil you for the day."

"But you are pregnant, I should be the on-"

"You spoil me and our daughter too much already, just be a good girl and follow me for the day. Now go change and I'll get the nurse." Bossy Sana is scary Sana, but I should be the one spoiling her.

"Yes ma'am."

With that, I just go get out of this hospital gown and we set out to spend the day doing whatever she wants to do. Neither is too enthusiastic to go back home and having to tell our families, we both know how they can get hyper about things, if our wedding was any warning, breaking the news they will have another grandchild this soon will be opening Pandora's box. We have to do it anyways, so I'll just enjoy the calm before the storm and make sure I'm spoiling Sana all the way.

We end up by the river, sitting down on the shade with some cold water. We have been walking around for a bit, but my knees needed a break, and Sana was the one to demand we sit down and rest for a bit. Like I said, angry Sana is scary Sana, and I'm not getting her angry when she's pregnant.
