Taehyung is pregnant, but doesn't know how Jeongguk will react.
--
Taehyung looks at himself in the mirror. He looks at his stomach, having taken off his shirt a while ago, and runs a hand over the soft skin if his belly as he thinks about the life growing there. There are so many emotions going through his body that he doesn't know what to do with himself.
The two sticks that are sitting on the sink show two little lines that started all this. The pregnancy tests prove what the omega had been feeling for the past month and a half. He's pregnant.
It's not that he's sad. He's the furthest thing from sad. He just doesn't know how Jeongguk will react.
Him and Jeongguk have known each other for nine years, have been dating for four, and have been mated for two. They've talked about the possibility of having kids before, in the early hours of the morning when they couldn't sleep, and they always agreed they would have one or two kids. Maybe Taehyung has nothing to worry about, but he still can't shake the nervousness from the pit of his stomach.
They were in a good place to have a baby. They both had good jobs, Jeongguk being the R&D manager for a wealthy company and Taehyung working from home as a journalist. They have a pretty good social life, with the guys always there to help if they need it, whether it be with emotional problems or just bringing company if they get lonely. Taehyung is happy where he is, living with his alpha and facing the world together.
Taehyung is so caught up in his thoughts that he doesn't register the sound of the door being opened and closed, and of someone walking through the apartment. He only startles when he gets a whiff of Jeongguk's scent, the smell of sandalwood and lavender. He turns around quickly, hoping to buy himself some time to hide the tests, but gets the air knocked out of him when he sees his alpha standing in the bathroom doorway.
Jeongguk's eyes are wide, looking from the pregnancy tests, to his face, to his stomach, and back up to his eyes.
Taehyung is too scared to move, too scared that Jeongguk will react badly to the knowledge of him being pregnant that he's glued to his spot.
"Tae.."
At his name, Taehyung starts crying. Fat tears are rolling down his cheeks, leaving wet trails down his red face.
Jeongguk immediately moves to take the omega in his arms, wrapping them around his shoulders and rubbing his back with one hand, burying the other in his hair.
"Shh, it's okay. What's wrong baby?" The alpha asks softly.
"I-I'm sorry I didn't- didn't call you." He says, hiccuping between some of his words. "I wasn't sure how to tell you yet. I-I didn't know how'd you react."
"Tae, look at me" Jeongguk says softly.
The omega removes his head from the alpha's neck, not sure when he put it there in the first place, and looks up at Jeongguk's face.
He's surprised when he sees tears in his eyes, and a bright smile on his lips.
"Baby, I'm so unbelievably happy. You're carrying our child, why would I be anything but happy?"
At that, Taehyung flushes, embarrassed that he ever doubted Jeongguk.
"I thought that maybe you wouldn't be ready. That maybe you didn't want kids yet.." he trails off, looking away from Jeongguk's face, feeling a bit silly.
"Tae, I've wanted to have kids with you for forever. Ever since we mated. I've just been waiting for you to be ready because I didn't want to pressure you by bringing it up." Jeongguk says softly, hooking a finger under the omega's chin to bring his eyes up to meet Jeongguk's.
"Really?" Taehyung still feels a bit unsure, but is starting to get more excited by the second. He's practically shaking after a few more reassurances from Jeongguk, excitement flowing through his veins now.
"They're gonna be so spoiled." Taehyung whispers. His face is tucked in Jeongguk's neck, the alpha's arms wrapped around his waist.
"Yeah, they really are." Jeongguk replies, pressing a kiss to the omega's forehead.
"I can't wait."
