I get in the car Yoongi left for me to go pick joon up from school. He's had a late tutoring class with his math teacher cause my baby's strong point isn't math, OK?! so he missed the school bus and I have to pick him up. I drive like an old snail, afraid of hitting the brakes too hard and hitting my stomach on the steering wheel. I hear one or two insults as a result but ignore them. I'm really good at it now.
I get off the car and stumble a bit, giggling to myself at the way I am. The baby kicks, seeming happy as well. "let's go pick your brother up."
I pull the hood of my poncho on my head, covering it from the rather cold weather. Yoongi got me this a few months ago when I complained about not fitting in my warm clothes. It's mostly blue, having black, white and creamy designs. Joon says I look good in it so I put it on to cheer him up after hours of gross math as he likes to put it. I even put on a little make up for him cause he gets excited when I look like a "doll"; his words, not mine.
Don't forget my dangling silver earrings which Yoongi gave me in our anniversary...well the day I threw myself at him. it worked, didn't it?
I'm happy I put on my boots cause the ground is so wet from the rain earlier, splashing around as I walk into the school yard, seeing a few kids playing in the puddles and dirtying their clothes which they would probably be scolded for later. I want to enter the school building when I notice joon among them with his red raincoat, giggling and jumping in the puddles. I smile, going towards them.
Joon looks up, seeing me and squealing, running towards me. he slows down when near me, hugging me – well my stomach-. his friends stop playing, the three of them looking at me with an open mouth. I smile and wave at them, ruffling joon's hair.
"Hyunmin!"
"Jaehyuk! You ruined your clothes!"
The kids squeak in excitement and fear, running to stand behind me. I chuckle at them. Maybe my big stomach can fight angry moms off, huh?
The two moms stand in front me, their kids long forgotten as they stare at my bump. I smile. "hello. I'm jimin, joon's dad."
I put my hand forward but they don't react, not looking me in the eyes but my bump. My smile disappears and I put my hand down in a fist beside me. I bring my smile back when I see joon's curious and upset eyes looking between me and them. I bring the children forward from behind me, holding their hands. "are you friends with Yejoonie? Such pretty good boys!"
I want to lean down to be in their height but my stomach doesn't let me so I just ruffle their hair. They grin at me, nodding happily, their curious gaze never leaving my bump. "yejoonie's nice! He shares yummy food with us!" my smile widens, proud of my baby.
it's the food yoongi makes him in the morning, not me...
Their mothers come forward at last, taking their children a step back but they come back, hands up to touch my bump. "are you having a baby? You're not a woman!"
I smile down at them cause there's no malice in their words. "I am a man but I can have babies. Cool, right?" they gasp, eyes shining. "can we have babies when we grow up?" Jaehyuk says and hyunmin smacks him in the head. "why would we wanna look like a balloon!" I try to be offended but he looks so perplexed even by the idea of it.
Their mothers finally decide to speak. Hyunmin's mom half-smiles. "hello jimin. I'm bong and she's yuna. Is Yejoon in the tutoring class afterschool, too?"
I shake her hand despite what she did earlier, not wanting them to get mad and somehow hurt joon's feelings like it happened in his previous school.
"yes he is...guess math is the main struggle of this generation!" they laugh, seeming a little less tense. Yuna looks at my bump. "you seem to be close to popping. How far along are you?" I open my mouth to say I'd appreciate it if she didn't say "popping" but joon excitedly answers in my stead. "my sister will be born two week from now! I made her room myself!"
Slowly the kids go off to play a little more despite their mothers protesting. I have no problem with it though cause joon rarely spends time with kids his age and I wish to change that.
however, my back and feet are killing me. they notice and suggest that we sit on a dry bench under the shade. They seem to be uncomfortable but not rude, seeing someone like me for the first time, not knowing how to behave or if they should accept me.
"can you do it naturally?" I raise an eyebrow as I manage sitting down on one bench as they sit on one in front off me, pulling my hood down. "you mean giving birth? No it's not possible for us. we all get C-section."
Bong gasps. "what happens if the baby stays inside too much?" I squirm in my seat, uncomfortable at the thought. "we both die...but hopefully that won't happen to me." I try to joke but this discussion is freaking me out a bit.
Yuna nudges Bong's side. "you're scaring him. stop." I smile at them reassuringly. "I get your curiousity but we are like women in almost every aspect of pregnancy. The only difference is the C-section and the baby maturing at eight months and a half, not 9 months."
Bong giggles. "and the way you get pregnant." I blush when I get what she means as she's dying from laughter herself, yuna only grinning. She seems to be a little more closed off and not...disturbing!
I try to play along and not show my embarrassment from the topic; I really want to be friends with parents in the school and they could be a start. They seem to be accepting me well despite being weird a little.
"now that you mention it, it's pretty similar too, so..." they giggle again, winking at me and it makes me laugh too. is gay sex that amusing? It is pretty new for gays to be open about themselves in our society so maybe it's exciting cause it's new.
They finally calm down, Bong clearing her throat. "sorry about that...it's just that we've never seen someone like you..."
I nod, glancing at joon running away from his friends, screaming in excitement. "that's the case for many. Not all people are nice though so I avoid going out alone since I've started to show...but I guess joon's math is forcing me to." They both grin.
Yuna looks away, playing with her bag. "sorry if we were rude when you first came...personally, I was shocked but...I don't think low of you...actually, I think it's pretty cool. I wish my husband could get pregnant so he would know how hard it is."
Bong chuckles at this and it actually amuses me. "well my husband can't do it but I make sure he gets my pain all the time." the both laugh and I'm happy that we left the subject of gay sex.
"well it was nice talking to you and I would like to meet again after I popped." They giggle at my fingers making the quotation marks and the way I struggle to stand up. they both enter their numbers in my phone and take mine, saying they'll invite me if they have "mommy gatherings."
I don't mind being called a mom as long as it's not used to mock me. it's kinda cute that they wanna include me in that too.
I go towards joon and he runs to me, pouting. "are we going? I wanna play more!"
I pinch his cheek. "I know and I'm sorry baby but my back hurts and I need to lay down. you can invite your friends over for the weekend, how does that sound?"
He nods frantically and I grin seeing the gap between his teeth. New teeth here we come!
I manage to get out of there after jae and hyun both touch my stomach, squealing when the baby kicks at them. Glad someone's enjoying me being kicked in the guts.
