Missing in the Storm

Chapter 18

Jimin's POV

We toured a few apartments in the area. I wanted a house but couldn't find one that met my security needs. Which sucked because I was in love with one I found with a decent-sized closed in backyard. I'd be lying if I said it was just for the girls. I could see the boys and I grilling back there and hanging out as well. All it was missing was a pool, there wasn't that kind of room.

Athena wasn't asking for much. Just three bedrooms, an open floor plan, close to parks and shopping. I thought it was cute and I did take her to see one or two. I spent lunch trying to explain to her why I wanted five to seven rooms.

"There are only three of us, Jimin. The girls are going to share a room for a long time." Smiling as she takes one of my mochi. The one she didn't want when I placed our order.

"The girls are going to get bigger. Besides what if one of the guys wants to stay over to babysit or whatever." Looking at me blinking still looking confused. "That is maybe four rooms. How much room do you need?" I can tell she isn't used to all the space.

"I don't want to move for a long time. I want to be able to grow into the space. The girls will want separate rooms eventually and I want a studio in the house. Also, I just don't want to feel like we are always on top of each other unless I am on top of you." Placing the last bite of my mochi in her now open mouth, smiling.

We settled on an apartment in the same building as the dorm. It is currently a six-bedroom apartment. But after the renovation, it will have a studio, office, and a master bedroom with en suite. An open floor plan kitchen, dining room, living room with floor to ceiling windows, and a door that leads to a balcony. Then there is one room that will be the nursey, the toy room, and a guest room with en suite. Later the toy room will be turned into a room for one of the girls, the two rooms are the same size with an adjoining bathroom, a guest restroom, and a laundry room.

We have been gone most of the day, but we found what we needed in one day. Athena came in and went right to take a nap. Her doctor had told us that walking would be good to help the girls get here faster. Athena is 38 weeks, but I wanted the girls to come as close to 40 weeks as possible. I want them to be healthy even though I know most twins don't wait the full 40 weeks.

"You feel good tiring out a pregnant woman like that?" Jin said slapping me on my shoulder. Laughing I sit on the couch. "We would have been done but she wanted to check out three bedrooms and I wanted to see a single house with a yard." Jin looked confused, "a three-bedroom why?"

Athena's POV
two days later

Relaxing on the couch listening to music with headphones on my belly so the girls can listen to Jimin, and I can listen to everything else. I have been feeling contractions and his voice relaxes them. They have their own playlist. The contractions are not strong or even consistent, so I didn't call or text anyone.

Jimin was hesitant to leave me home while they went to perform. If I am there I just don't think he will concentrate, and I know I won't rest. I need some peace; I am not used to all the noise and activity that normally surrounds them. "Athena you OK" I nod at the guard that has been assigned to stay with me. "Yes, I am. Just about to relax, maybe nap." He smiles at me and nods his head.

About 4 hours later I wake up to unbearable pain. The contractions are worse, and I can barely stand up straight. Crying I get up and go to the room and get the bags for the hospital, between contractions. I don't see the security guard that is assigned to be with me. Walking through the house screaming his name, and my water breaks. He comes out of the bathroom and sees me doubled over clutching my stomach, standing in a puddle. Taking his phone out he calls for an ambulance.
