"I told Jaemin," Jeno brings up as he arranges the files on his desk.

Karina, sitting on the chair across from him, looks up in interest. "How did it go?" She asks, lowering her hands which were holding a book.

The younger boy shrugs, "it went well, he was very happy, although I cried, he reassured me he's excited, he even kissed my tummy." He chuckles.

He looks down and places a hand on his stomach, "you're not even that obvious yet." He mumbles softly.

"Kind of," Karina snickers. "For you, it's not that obvious, but for us, a little bit." She said.

"Your stomach is starting to grow and it'll grow even more soon, if you look closely at it in our point of view, it's sort of showing now."

A soft sigh escapes her parted lips, "you're going to struggle hiding that lil' thing." Giggling.

"I won't be hiding it."

"You haven't told your parents and Jisung yet," she deadpans.

"Jaemin saved it as a surprise." Was all Jeno replied with as he winks. "Now continue scanning these files with me." He jokes.

𖡗

"Do you want to tell them soon?" Jaemin asks, pushing the shopping cart a bit as he follows his lover in front.

Jeno responds with a hum and a nod, glancing at him before looking back at the can he was holding to see the nutrition facts and expiration date.

"When do you want to do it?"

The younger boy pauses and ponders in thought, "can we tell them tonight?" He asks, taking four more of the same product he was holding and placing them in the shopping cart.

Jaemin nods, humming in agreement. "Sure, we can invite both of our parents for dinner tonight." He said, proceeding to follow the younger boy.

Jeno has a hand loosely holding onto the shopping cart behind him, turning to a corner to look at the other aisle.

"About Jisung," Jeno pauses. "Do you think we should tell him tonight too or a different time?"

"We should tell them all tonight so we can see everyone's reactions," Jaemin chuckles and secretly grabs something from the shelf near him.

"Karina brought up baby showers, " the younger boy rolls his eyes with a silly smile. "But I don't think we have the time for that right now, and I don't really want to make this a big deal."

"Especially with reporters eyeing us everywhere," his husband said. He glances down to Jeno's stomach and sighs, "they won't leave it alone."

"Relax, we have security." Jeno shrugs and points his chin up to Changmin who was following them this whole entire time.

Jaemin glances at the man who smiles back innocently, he purses his lips and looks back to his lover. "I understand."

"But, although we appreciate your service," Jaemin earns a nod from Changmin. "You'll eventually have to stay at home again. You know that right, baby?"

Jeno pouts, nodding off at his words as he drops a few more items in the shopping cart. "Yeah, it's going to be boring."

The older boy shakes his head in disagreement, "No it won't, we can spend time together when I get home." He tries to lighten up the mood.

However, his wife only sighs deeply. "Exactly," he said as if it was obvious, pausing on checking the grocery list he has.

"You're at work, Jisung will be at kindergarten– he'll be having his own playtime, study and naps, and everyone else is busy."

Jaemin reaches to grasp his hand, giving it a light squeeze. "We can ask Winter if she can accompany you when the time comes." He suggests.

"I don't want to bother her," Jeno frowns, a little embarrassed.

His husband chuckles and lifts his hand towards his cracked lips, kissing his knuckles. "You are never a bother to anyone, okay?" He coaxes.

"Besides, Winter will be there because she wants to, she's willing to take care of you until Jisung and I are back home."

"I also heard from a little birdy that Winter was very excited about your pregnancy, sir Jeno." Changmin spoke up.

Jaemin grins hearing that as Jeno only smiles shyly, "see? Winter would love to come over everyday."

"She probably wants me to make her the godmother since I made Karina and Woozi Jisung's godparents." Jeno began to giggle at the memory.

Woozi was so shocked, he looked like a statue while Karina was squeezing the life out of poor little 6 months old pregnant Jeno.

He didn't really thought about who will be his baby's godparents, he just chose the two people besides his parents.

But now, he's a little hesitant on who to pick.

Winter, Karina's– who is his childhood best friend– girlfriend, who has a crackhead attitude once you get to know her better.

P.S, Jeno still can't forget the gift she gave for his and Jaemin's wedding.

There's Changmin and Yunho, two of his great security guards whom he has grown a close bond with.

Hoshi, Woozi's husband who seems to pick on his cousin more often than not, to the point it earns him a sulking Kwon Jihoon.

His own parents and his in-laws, who would love to be the new baby's godparents as well, plus points I guess.

Then there's Sungchan too, Jaemin's secretary and now is also close with Jeno, sometimes offers to babysit Jisung when Karina is unavailable.

So is Jeno conflicted? Slightly. But he chooses not to worry about it... For now.

"Regardless, just make sure to take care of yourself while I'm at work." Jaemin said, "you can be a little stubborn sometimes." He teases.

Jeno huffs loudly and snatches his hand away, "so can you." He retorts and turns back to head off first, looking for more items.

His husband looks at Changmin, who's beside him now, and furrows his eyebrows in confusion.

The older man just snorts, "mood swings. It happens." He shrugs it off nonchalantly like it's the norm.

"Does it happen until the baby is born?" Jaemin asks, completely clueless over this.

Changmin laughs and pats his back, "maybe." Unsure of himself as well.
