Helping [PART ONE OF THE HELPING SERIES]

49

Eight month mark:

"Deep breath in and out."

Namjoon had gotten a disc from one of the managers who said helped with her daughter when she was pregnant, so we've been using it at home despite how stupid we felt while doing it.

"I know how to breathe, thank you," I muttered. Namjoon laughed and kissed my hair.

"Baby, it's to help you when your water breaks later on."

"Well that's like two months away, we have time," I huffed.

"Jin," he said seriously now. I turned to look at him. "You've been pregnant for eight months now and we already have a due date. We have a month at best to learn this stuff. I want everything to go as smoothly as possible for you."

I looked down at my almost bursting stomach and rubbed the bump holding our pups. It was true that the due date was just around the corner and this probably would help me later on, but I just felt so stupid doing it.

"I know," I mumbled. "It's a bit scary, isn't it?"

"What is?"

"Knowing we're going to be parents in less than a month."

He chuckled. "Not too much since I'll be here. I'll take care of the three of you."

I smiled up at him and pecked his lips.

"Thank you, Joonie."

"Also, I can't wait to cuddle normally," he said under his breath.

"Yeah," I scoffed. "'Cuddle.'"

"I'm serious!"

"Don't worry, I want it too," I giggled, kissing him again. "But it's too risky this close to the birth."

He hummed, pouting a little.

"At least my heats are only going to be a day long now. There's less chance for pups."

"Would you want more?"

"Let's see how we handle twins before deciding. But when I was little, I always dreamed of having thousands and thousands of pups with my mate."

"So you wanted to keep popping them out?"

"It doesn't work like that, I know that now. But yeah. I wanted to be a baby maker for my mate before I realized I wanted an actual relationship."

"Well now you get to have both," he said cheerfully. "You're making two babies right now and you have a relationship."

I giggled as he showered the back of my head and neck with kisses.

"Baby, the other rappers and I have a few solo concerts coming up. They'll be in the same night, but I want you to stay with the other members while we're performing."

"I wanna stay with you though," I pouted.

"I know, sweetie. But what if your water breaks at the concert? You won't be able to get out until it's over. If you're home with the other members or even Jungkook and a manager, it'll be better."

"Okay," I sulked, rubbing my belly and felt the pups kick again. "They're very active."

"At least we know we're not getting a Yoongi type baby."

I laughed and fell back against his chest, breathing in his scent as he wrapped me into his arms, neither of us paying attention to the disk.

"God, I hope they aren't short," I snorted, making the both of us burst out laughing.
