The Dad

Tihyun

Vivian's POV

I leaned into the back of the couch, propping my feet up on the coffee table. My back was killing me. I smiled as I watched Namjoon wrestle in the floor with Violet. I reached for the bowl of popcorn next to me, until I started to feel pressure. I leaned my head back and took a deep breath. It still didn't go away.

"Joon?" I called.

"Yes, Jagiya?" I he answered from the floor. I slowly pulled my feet off the coffee table. 

"Grab my purse. And my shoes." He sat up and looked at me, realizing what I meant.

"Oh, shit. Um, ok."

"Language, Appa!"

"I'm sorry, Bug." He grabbed our phones from the coffee table and put them in my purse. He grabbed my slippers, helping me put them on before grabbing my purse and helping me out the door, Violet right behind us. As soon as we were out of the driveway, he called Jin.

"Hey, I'm dropping Violet off at your house... I know it's late, we just need you to watch her for tonight. And maybe tomorrow... No I didn't have time to grab her clothes. Meet me in the driveway." He hung up the phone and shoved it back in my purse. I looked at his hands. He was gripping the wheel so tight, his knuckles were turning white. I put my hand on his arm. He glanced over at me.

"Breathe." He took a deep breath and loosened his grip on the steering wheel. 

Namjoon's POV

When we pulled into Jin's driveway, Violet immediately got excited. I unlocked the doors and rolled my window down.

"Thank you," I said while Jin got Violet out of the back seat.

"A little more warning in advance next time would be nice."

Well, I-"  I stopped when Vivian grabbed my arm, squeezing. I turned and looked at her. She had her head down and her eyes closed tight. "Ok, Viv, deep breath." She nodded and took a deep breath, leaning her head against the head rest.

"Oh, dear," I heard Jin say. "You guys go, get out of here." I nodded and drove off.

"I need you to push, ma'am."

"I am fucking pushing!" She screamed in pain as she tried pushing again. When she stopped, she looked up at me with big, tear-filled eyes. She was so tired and covered in sweat, with little strands of hair sticking to her face.

"It's ok, take a big, deep breath." She took a big breath and leaned her head back.

"Push!" She started screaming again, squeezing my hand as hard as she possibly could. "Ok, just one more!" She looked at me, crying.

"I can't. I can't." I cupped her chin with my free hand.

"You can do it. You're almost there, just one more big push." She nodded and took a deep breath, screaming and squeezing my hand. She stopped when we heard little cries. I gave her a kiss before going to cut the umbilical cord. I held her hand as the doctor wrapped our baby boy in and handed him to his mother. "You did it."

"Here's the birth certificate when you're ready." The nurse handed me the paper and a pen. I turned and looked at Vivian before writing the name we had decided on.

Kim Tihyun. Father: Kim Namjoon. Mother: Kim Vivian.

I looked over at Vivian, holding the sleeping infant, and Violet, curled up next to her mother asleep. I couldn't get over the fact that I now had two children. I finished filling out the birth certificate before taking it back to the nurse's station. I sat in the chair next to the bed and laid my head on Vivian's shoulder.
