"At thirteen weeks, your baby is the size of a lemon, and its head is a third of the size of its body."

Taehyung was sprawled out on Jimin's bed, the older trying to find an outfit to hide his growing bump.

It wasn't even really a bump per se, more like a rounding of his stomach, but he was becoming very self conscious about it. Maybe because of his encounter with Joo-Hee or maybe just his self-esteem, but he felt like he'd gained a lot more weight and it showed.

Jimin sighed, pulling a large, oversized sweater over his head.

"And what about the upcoming weeks?"

Taehyung scrolled down the website before responding, "Week fourteen, the baby will be the size of a peach and even start to develop hair. Oh, and you'll start gaining your energy back. "

Jimin nodded, as he looked around for the jeans he'd bought a few days ago.

"Week fifteen?"

"Week fifteen, the baby is the size of an orange and its bodily proportions are more normal. You'll also start to feel a slight fluttering if it moves."

Jimin huffed as he finally got on the jeans, and went to look at himself in his full-length mirror.

"Week sixteen?"

"Sixteen-ugh, what is it with all the fruit?! I don't want to be thinking about food when I'm talking about a human fetus-" Jimin turned to look behind him and gave Taehyung a questionable look before he resumed.

"Um, anyways. Sixteen, the baby is the size of an apple and its circulatory system is starting to work. Ooh, also it can make facial expressions-"

Taehyung looked up to see Jimin frowning in the mirror. He raised an eyebrow.

"-And ten bucks says their first facial expression is going to be the disgusted one you're wearing right now."

Jimin snapped out of his thoughts upon realizing Taehyung was right. He flopped down on the bed with a heavy sigh, as the younger cuddled up next to him.

"I'm sorry. I just...I dunno. I feel weird."

Taehyung scoffed a little, leaning his head against Jimin's.

"You feel weird? You're pregnant."

Jimin slapped the younger boy's shoulder, sitting up.

"You know I didn't mean it like that. It's just...I..." his shoulders slumped as he looked down at his hands in his lap. "Ever since that day I bumped into Joo-Hee, I dunno...I just. I can't stop thinking about what she said. And maybe...maybe what she said wasn't all untrue?"

Taehyung frowned.

The boy informed him of what the bitch said to make him feel terrible about himself.

"Jimin," he spoke, grabbing his best friend's hands in his own. "Jimin, look at me."

The pink haired boy begrudgingly looked at his best friend.

"You've done nothing wrong. You know she was just trying to make you upset, so don't listen to her lies, okay? Besides," Taehyung smiled, jumping up from the bed, dragging Jimin along with him. "You should be happy. We're going shopping for the baby!"

That did put a smile on Jimin's face.

Although he and Taehyung had done a lot of online browsing, nothing beat actually going into a store and getting to touch and feel the furniture and clothing.

Jin had managed to find a baby store that catered to idols and famous celebrities, who were looking for some privacy. He also said there was a surprise waiting for Jimin at the store, so now the young boy was eagerly anticipating the events of the day.
