Irene sat on the couch two years later, her stomach swelling with pregnancy as she flipped through her wedding photos. Her and Jackson smiling at each other, her gown flowing with the wind, as their hands intertwined tightly. She looked to the next, Jay walking her down the isle, a watery smile coming to her features as she looked to the next of her arms wrapped around Jackson, his secured on her waist with their foreheads resting on each other's, dazzling smiles, as the picture focused on them catching the silhouettes of the guests behind them, her eyes catching one that they had taken more privately, their hands interlocked, looking at each other with nothing but pure love.

She smiled, as she sniffled, the smile quickly dropping as she felt a kick to her lower abdomen. She winced slightly her hand going to her stomach as she moaned out in pain. She swore under her breath, placing the album to the side and standing up, stretching her cramped back, a hand resting on her stomach as the door opened, revealing her husband and Jay who had fallen asleep on Jackson's shoulder. He looked at her eyes wide as he quickly walked to lay their son down before returning to his wife's side. "I thought I told you to not move." She placed a hand on his chest glaring at him. "I'm pregnant not disabled." She silently seethed as he guided her back to the couch placing her swollen feet up before moving to allow her to lean on him, his hand going to her stomach with a smile on his face. His baby was in there. He kissed her forehead, as she turned to look up at him questioningly. "Thank you Babygirl." He whispered. She kissed his jaw slightly, before turning to rest on him, their hands holding her stomach together as his eyes caught the album. "Looking at the pictures again?" He questioned teasingly. "Wendy needed help with decorations for the wedding preparations. Mark has been stressing her out that he wants it like ours." She laughed slightly. "He's turned soft." Jackson laughed noting to use this as blackmail against Mark. Irene smiled up at him. "I know. But yeah I looked at one and then couldn't stop looking at the rest. It got me emotional." She said her eyes watering again as she frustratingly moved away from him. "Gosh these stupid hormones." He laughed disguising it as a cough with the glare she passed him. "Why are you laughing at me. You don't love me right? Goddddddd why would you look at me I'm ugly." She stood up, staggering slightly as his arm came out to stabilise her. She brushed it off. "Irene." He called out, his eyes ghosting her form, she was in nothing but his t shirt, her hair tied up into a bun. She looked so cute. He turned her around. "My wife is anything but ugly. I love you Babygirl you know this. Nothing will change that. Nothing can change that." He smiled at her leading her back to the couch carefully. He mentally sighed, these hormones were about to kill him. 9 months of her mood swings, from going to anger to bursting into tears he was drained but he loved her. She was carrying his child and he was nothing but grateful for that. Irene looked at him, her hand trialing his face. He had been there through it all. The morning sickness, the sleepless nights, the mood swings and he had been nothing but patient with her. She smiled up at him, kissing his cheek before her lips met his. He smiled into the kiss his hands resting on her stomach as they continued, a light kick causing them to part. Jackson chuckled as Irene placed her hand atop of his, "someone's getting hyper." He said as he laid in between her legs, resting his ear against her stomach to feel the baby, Irene's hands tangling with his hair as she smiled down at him. She yawned softly, Jackson getting up moments later, picking her up bridal style and carrying her to their room, as she buried her head in the crook of his neck. He laid her down gently, his lips pressing to her forehead as her eyes closed. He moved back slightly only for Irene to fist his shirt to pull him back to her. He smiled as he lay in bed with her, his hand securing protectively on her stomach from behind, his head burying into her jasmine scented hair.
2AM
He heard Irene moan in pain, his eyes shooting open as she sat up. "Jack. The baby." "Now?" He asked "Yes now!" She shouted at him, causing him to jump. He called Mark who was there in a second, to be expected considering they all lived in a joint penthouse, Suelgi and JB staying with Jay as Irene cursed in pain. Wendy held her hand as Jackson picked up the bag they had prepared. His mind going into a frenzy. This was too early, she wasn't due for another three weeks. He had been warned about it but his mind was too busy panicking. He climbed into the back with Irene, Wendy and mark up front as they tried to drown out Irene's grunts of pain, and the swearing.
3:30 AM
Irene wasn't fully dilated, the contractions becoming stronger by the second as a sense of fear enveloped her. She collapsed back into the bed, Jackson's hand finding hers as she looked up at him. "Your here this time?" His eyes brows scrunched up with confusion, realising that she was becoming delirious "Hey I'm right here." He called to her. He watched her eyes tear slightly as he wiped away at the liquid. "You weren't here last time." "I know Babygirl but I'm here now. Okay. Hang in there." He kissed her forehead, as he left for a minute, Wendy putting a hand on his shoulder in a comforting manner. "When she was in labour with Jay, there came a moment when she imagined you were with her, you got her through it. Don't beat yourself up about it Jackson because even unconsciously you have been on this journey with her, don't miss it for the second time. Go be with your wife." He looked at Wendy nodding, grateful for the pep talk that she offered. Jackson walked back in, his hand intertwining with hers as he kissed the back off it. He watched her eyes open into his as he smiled. "Together." He whispered.
5AM
Irene gritted her teeth as she held onto Jackson's hand, the doctor shouting she was almost there. A cry sounding moments later. Irene winced in pain, Jackson noticing and begging the doctors to take a look. "There's another one." Irene's head flopped back in defeat as she braced herself to push again, "How did you miss another child." Jackson said sarcastically. "Seems like they were hiding behind each other. It happens Mr Wang."
5:30 AM
They heard another cry sound, Irene finally grateful that is was over, releasing Jackson's hand who was happy that his blood circulation had started again. The nurses worked on cleaning their babies, as they handed them over to Irene and Jackson. Two beautiful girls. Jackson's eyes watered as he kissed Irene's forehead. "Thank you Irene. Thank you for re loving a cheater." She looked at him. " l love you Wang." She said. He smiled down at her. "I love you too Mrs Wang." Irene smiled the two parents turning to their girls soft smiles gracing their features.
Hours later their friends arrived, the girls being passed along to them all. Irene and Jackson laughed slightly seeing the tears in their eyes. Yeri looked at them passing one of the girls to Bambam who held her gently. "You guys thought of names?" She asked, the group turning to them waiting. "Iris and Isabel Wang." Jackson announced with a proud smile. Jay ran into the room moments later with Jackson's parents, he ran to Irene. "Mum where are they..." he said excitedly, Irene and Jackson took the girls showing Jay. "These are your sisters. Little man." He smiled his eyes watering as Irene brushed away the stray tear. "I promise to protect them Mummy. With my life." Irene's heart softened as she kissed jays forehead. "I wouldn't expect anything else from you little man." Jay climbed up onto the bed, Irene helping him to hold iris who he kissed on the forehead cutely. Everyone's eyes softened as Jackson called everyone closer in a group hug. Their family was finally complete.
