Chapter 3
"Chim, I'm the one having the baby. Why are you the one crying??", Taehyung is torn between exasperation and amusement. Jimin and Yoongi had both accompanied him to his doctor's appointment, and the three of them had stared in awe at the image on the screen. When the doctor pointed out that the baby was sucking their thumb, even Yoongi had whined at the cuteness.
They're now sitting in the living room at home, and Jimin is weeping again while looking at the photos the doctor gave them. "What are you saying Kim Taehyung?! How can you not be crying right now?? You're having a little girl! I'm gonna have a little niece and she's so beautiful!", the older sniffs into his disgruntled husband's shoulder.
Yoongi shoots Taehyung a sharp look that clearly commands him to make. this. better.
Sighing, Tae brightens as he comes up with an idea. "Chim, I really want to go shopping for some baby clothes now that we know she's a girl. But I'm just gonna go by myself if you don't cut out the crying."
Immediately, Jimin sits up straight, his eyes wide with affront, "Excuse you! You are not going shopping for my niece's clothing without me! Besides, I don't think you should be going out alone anymore. The doctor said your blood pressure was a little high. I don't want you out alone somewhere if something were to happen."
The younger rolls his eyes and groans, "Don't start freaking out over that. I'm fine, I just need to avoid stress."
"Well I am not letting you take any chances with your health, or my niece's for that matter. You need to start taking it easy. Oh! Maybe we should get you a wheelchair so you don't have to walk around?"
The pregnant boy stares, his eyes wide with shock, "What?? No! Jimin, relax!", he turns to Yoongi this time, eyes pleading, "Hyung! Tell him I'm fine!"
Jimin's head immediately snaps to his husband, eyes daring him to argue with him. The elder swallows at his husband's glare, "Baby, maybe we should wait on the wheelchair, hmm? Isn't mild activity supposed to be good for Tae and the baby?"
The younger huffs, "Fine, but no going out alone. And if I think you're overdoing it Kim Taehyung, I really will get a wheelchair for you!"
Shooting a grateful look at Yoongi, Tae pushes himself to his feet. "Okay Chim. I'm gonna go to the bathroom and change my clothes before we leave for shopping. This sweater is too hot."
Walking away, he hears the eldest grumble under his breath, "There is no way I'm going into a store for babies."
Biting back a grin, he quickly goes to the bathroom and washes his hands, before heading into his room. Shutting the door, he sighs in relief at finally having a moment to himself. Grinning, he pulls out more of the pictures the doctor had printed up for them. 'I'm having a little girl! I wonder whether she'll look more like me or Jungkook?' At the thought, the grin fades, and he walks over to the window. Remembering what Hoseok had told him, he chewed at his bottom lip in anxiety. 'Was Hoseok right? Should I call him? I wonder if I should at least tell him he's going to have a daughter.'
Walking to a drawer, he pulls out the burner phone he'd purchased a few days earlier. He can't help but wonder what Jungkook has been doing. Has he been busy planning his wedding? Or is he already married? The thought sends a sharp pang through his heart.
'It's been months. Has he had second thoughts about walking away from our baby? Hobi was right, he is still the father. I should at least let him know about her.' Looking at the time, he does a quick calculation. 'It's 8am if he's in Seoul, which means he should be up.' Resolved, he powers the phone on and takes a deep breath.
Seoul, Korea
Jungkook glowers at the stubborn woman standing opposite his desk. "Lisa, I told you before, I don't have time to go to these ridiculous events."
Rolling her eyes, she scowls right back, "And I told you that it's your responsibility!"
"I'm too busy right now. You'll just have to go instead."
Stomping her foot, she grits out, "I have other responsibilities too you-you-you jerk!"
"Not my problem. Now go, I'm expecting a visit from Namjoon soon."
Sighing, Lisa's shoulders slump. Making her way around the desk, she lays a gentle hand on the older's shoulder. "Oppa, please. I know you want to find him. I want you to find him too! But you can't continue to ignore your responsibilities to the company and to our family. It's one trip, and it will only take a few days."
Seeing her big brown eyes, Jungkook can't help but give in. "Fine. When is it?"
Beaming, she claps her hands, "Thank you Oppa! It's next week. I'll give your assistant all the details so he can make the arrangements."
A knock interrupts and Namjoon sticks his head in, "Hey Kook, I've got everything set up in the conference room."
Nodding, Jungkook stands up and heads for the door. Lisa clears her throat, "Oh, and I better see you at the anniversary party next month!"
Waving the comment away, the ravenette continues out the door. Grumbling under her breath, Lisa stands to leave only to hear a ringing coming from the phone Jungkook forgot on his desk. Frowning, her head darts back and forth between the ringing phone and the door, torn between answering it or letting it ring. Finally, worried it may be important, she picks up the device and presses the answer button.
Hearing only silence, she's about to hang up until she hears a husky voice, "Hello? Jungkook?"
"Hello! I'm sorry, he forgot his phone. Do you want me to take a message?"
There's a long pause, before she hears a soft, "Who is this?"
"Oh gosh, I'm sorry. My name's Jeon Lisa." Frowning, she hears a sharp inhale from the man on the line. "Who may I say was calling? Do you want me to go get him?". There's another pause, and a sudden idea sinks into her mind, her eyes flying open wide. "Wait...is this V?"
"You know...?"
"Oh my God! It is, isn't it? Thank goodness you called! Jungkook has been searching for you everywhere! He's so worried about you and the baby!"
His voice is shaky when he responds, "I'm- I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called."
"Wait!"
*Click*
Staring at the phone, the young woman covers her mouth in dismay. She's still frozen when the door swings back open, Jungkook striding in. "I forgot my pho-", he cuts himself off when he sees his little sister holding his phone, staring at him with her mouth open and wide eyes. "Lisa, why do you have my phone? And why do you look like that?"
"Um, Oppa, I need to tell you something..."
AN: *cackles evilly*
