sugar daddy * baekhyun x chanyeol

Fifteen

Baekhyun waddled into the dimly lit room with his bladder full to bursting and Jongdae holding his hand. Jongdae helped him onto the bench where Baekhyun lay with his eyes squinted in discomfort. A litre of water sounded like a lot and it was. But he had to follow the instructions or, his doctor had told him, the ultrasound wouldn't work.

The day before he'd turned up at his doctor's office pale and sweaty and tired. His doctor had given him some sympathetic words, a urine test and a blood test, and a referral for the ultrasound with instructions to bring the results back the next day.

He squeezed Jongdae's hand gratefully. His friend had taken two days off work to be there for him. To take him to the ultrasound and take him back to the doctor the next day and to help him try and clean up his apartment a little. Baekhyun was going straight home from work every night and falling asleep almost immediately. He'd never been so tired before.

"Hello Mr Byun." The ultrasound technician said brightly as she walked in. "Are you the other father?" she asked to Jongdae's chuckle. "No I'm the supportive best friend!" he said brightly and she smiled at him. "He should be here with you..." Jongdae hissed under his breath. "Shut up.." Baekhyun hissed back and shifted around on the bench. "Are you okay?" she asked to Baekhyun's nod. "Yeah I was excited but now I just can't wait to get it over with so I can pee. I've never drank a whole litre of water before."

She lifted his shirt up and tucked a little cloth into the waistband of his pants to protect them from the gel which was cold and clear on his thin flat stomach. As soon as she moved the wand across the clear gel an image, grainy and shadowy, lit up on the screen.

"Everything looks fine Mr Byun. Here's the baby's head.." She pointed at a round lump on the screen, "and here is the heartbeat, and I can see only one so you aren't having twins.." Baekhyun sighed with relief. The idea of having twins hadn't even crossed his mind but it was a terrifying possibility that he had thankfully just avoided.

"The placenta and the fluid all looks fine and normal." She removed the wand and used the cloth to wipe his skinny belly clean before pressing a few buttons on the machine. "Here you go!" she handed him a few copies of the picture of his tiny baby and folded a report for the doctor inside an envelope. "I'll see you back here in about four to five weeks for another scan."

Baekhyun paid his bill while Jongdae took photos of the pictures and sent them to Minseok. "Baek this is amazing! Look at his big fat head!" Baekhyun had to smile at that. The baby already looked like his daddy.


The next day they sat in the doctor's surgery waiting for the rundown. "Well Mr Byun this scan looks normal. Nice steady heart rate and the baby is measuring about 2cm which would put you at about six weeks pregnant. Does this sound right?" Baekhyun nodded as he thought back to the night of Kyungsoo and Jongin's engagement party.

"Everything looks normal and healthy with the baby." The doctor smiled at Baekhyun as he read the ultrasound report. "How have you been feeling?" "Fine." Baekhyun answered to Jongdae's gasp. "That's not true," he said quickly. "He's been feeling terrible and he can't keep any food down. He's tired and sleeps all the time as well." The doctor looked at him sympathetically. "Morning sickness is normal and should fade out over the next four to six weeks. So is feeling tired. Just take it easy, eat as much as you can, sleep when you want to."

The doctor looked over at Jongdae's concerned expression. "I can see how much you care. You're going to make an excellent father. Make sure you take good care of them both." He winked at Jongdae whose face fell. "I'm not the father." He said softly. "I'm the best friend." The doctor cleared his throat a little awkwardly. "Well you're an amazing friend then. Make sure he drinks plenty of water."

With an appointment booked for four weeks' time Baekhyun and Jongdae left and got into Baekhyun's car. They drove in a heavy silence all the way back to Baekhyun's apartment where he proceeded to flop face first onto the soft couch and fall into a dreamless sleep. Jongdae busied himself with a load of washing and did Baekhyun's dishes and emptied his fridge of all the slowly rotting food that he wasn't able to eat. He filled the kettle ready for Baekhyun's lemon and ginger tea when he woke up and sent Minseok a text to come by when he finished work with honey chicken and rice.

Baekhyun woke up to the scent of citrus and ginger and drank the hot tea gratefully. Minseok had just arrived with the honey chicken and he managed to eat half of the takeaway container before Jongdae packed the rest into the fridge for later. "Go to bed." He said to Baekhyun who laughed. "Go home. I'm fine." He said to his friends. "But thank you. I couldn't do this without you both." His phone buzzed on the table but he ignored it as he walked his friends to the door.

His phone buzzed again and Baekhyun closed the front door before locking it. He walked back over to the coffee table and picked it up as he wondered if it was Chanyeol finally trying to get in contact with him. Baekhyun knew he'd been right about Chanyeol. He'd obviously only wanted something casual and by the lack of contact he had got what he wanted that night. He hadn't heard from him in six weeks.

He sighed as he ignored the phone buzzing with notifications and buried his face in the pillow that permanently lived on his couch. The text notification buzzed again and again and finally he heard a ringtone that chilled him to the bone. He hadn't changed it and the sound of that song meant only one thing. It wasn't Chanyeol trying to call him at all.

It was Sehun.
