Plus signs are supposed to represent a good thing. People always tell you to look at the plus side of things. But not when you're twenty-two, fresh out of massage therapy school, single, a male, and staring down at a cheap pregnancy test with a plus sign on that tiny window.

"Seonghwa!" A loud but soft voice cuts through the room, pounding soon followed, "I need to pee hurry up!"

The silver haired man is quick to wrap the test in toilet paper and open the door, the smaller dark haired boy on the other side had his hand raised ready to pound on the door again. He puts his hands down, "Oh, thank you!"

"Five minutes, Wooyoung. That's all I ask for in this house," Seonghwa sighs, rolling his eyes.

"First off, this is an apartment. Secondly, I give you all the privacy as you want," Wooyoung pouts, "it's hard to have privacy when you only have one bathroom!"

He shuts the door and leaves Seonghwa to his thoughts, rolling his eyes he makes his way to his bedroom and lays on his bed. He hasn't felt like he needed to puke, he did feel nauseous, but he never actually puked. What set him to possibly think he was pregnant, was of course the one single pill from his birth control he forgot to take from the day his baby was conceived. And maybe possibly for the fact that he HATES lemon flavored anything and he has been craving lemons. Just lemons. That's it.

And possibly the small belly he has now.

He hears the front door of their apartment open and soon shut, then his bedroom door opens and his other roommate steps in. He smiles, brushing back his silver hair as he catches sight of Seonghwa, "Hey man, still feeling nauseous?"

"Yeah," Seonghwa sighs, he didn't want to mention the pregnancy test yet, he wanted to get it confirmed first before he mentioned it to anyone. Including his parents.

"So no bar hopping tonight?"

Seonghwa sighs, "I gotta work tomorrow Yeosangie. And I don't really want to be hung over for my first day."

"Yeah I don't think people will like having a hung over massage therapist," Yeosang laughs, leaving the room and grabbing the door handle to shut his bedroom door. Seonghwa looks up at the ceiling and puffs his cheeks out.

"I can't go bar hopping. I need to go see the father."

Seonghwa sat at the back booth of the diner, far from the door and the counter as he fiddled with his sweater. He knew he should be home and preparing for his first day at the spa as a massage therapist, but he had to see the man who got him pregnant. He was the only man he had slept with in a year, so it had to be him.

And yet, here he is sipping hot tea while he waited for the man to get off work.

He could remember the night like it was imprinted into his mind for all of eternity. It did happen a little over a month ago, but it was still fresh in his mind.

He was studying at the exact same booth, his coffee gone and his fresh cinnamon roll was licked clean off of his plate. He felt someone's presence beside him and looked up to see a tall, handsome man with dark brown hair and thick lips pouring him more coffee. The same waiter Seonghwa has had a small crush on for a while now, and has dreamt up some erotic fantasies of him when he's alone in the apartment.

"Thank you," Seonghwa smiles, picking up the mug and blushing as he takes a sip.

"I was supposed to come over and tell you that we close in ten minutes," the man spoke softly, his voice deep and make Seonghwa quiver, "But since you're one of our regulars, you can stay till you're finished with this cup."

Seonghwa bites his lip, closing his text book and looking up at the gorgeous waiter, "Maybe we can take this somewhere else?"

The waiter smirks, and in that moment Seonghwa knew he was willing to do anything with the silver haired man. He leans forward to where his minty breath tingled Seonghwa's lips, and spoke deeply once more, "Meet me outside in the parking lot in five. I'll close down and be right there."

And Seonghwa did, shortly after the tall waiter met up with him and lead him to his best up van, putting the seats down and the two found themselves making out sloppily and undressing to nothing. It all happened so fast, the foreplay, the preparation, everything. Seonghwa didn't even remember if the waiter, who he later found out is named Mingi, wore a condom. His mind was a little preoccupied with hormones swarming his brain and making him feel high as he was fucked into roughly.

He sighs, slouching down and resting his head on the table, until he felt a presence beside him and heard someone grab his cup of tea, "More tea?"

Seonghwa lifts his head when he recognizes the voice and gawks at Mingi, who didn't make eye contact with him. Well, Seonghwa can't blame him. After that night, Seonghwa stopped going to this diner and focused more on his studies until he graduated. Now, him being here after over a month, he can see why Mingi would be upset. He would be too if someone pretty much slept with you and left with no number to call you back on or anything.

"Mingi," Seonghwa greeted him with a nod and wide eyes.

"Seonghwa," the taller said monotonously, crossing his arms after sitting the pitcher of hot tea down on the table, "Weird seeing you here after over a month."

"Yeah, I graduated and got a job," Seonghwa swallows, gesturing to the bench across from him, "Please, have a seat."

"I'd rather stand, thanks," Mingi spoke coldly, his dark eyes locking on the older, "I have work to do so I can't really stay and chit chat."

"I understand Mingi, I really do, but," he sighs, running his hands through his silver locks, "This is something you might want to sit down for."

Mingi grits his teeth, looking around to see they are the only ones in the diner besides the cook who is possibly on his phone right now waiting for more orders. They were actually getting ready to shut down, so maybe he was cleaning up back there. Mingi sighs, untying his apron and setting it on the table before sitting across from the older man, his gaze never once softens.

Seonghwa gulps, his hands were shaking slightly and suddenly the pregnancy test in his sweater pocket felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds. Mingi arches his eyebrow, "Well?"

Seonghwa bites his lip, "You remember the night we..."

Mingi snorts, "Yeah. That was the night I hoped to get your number and go on a date or two with you. But you bailed after I was done fucking you raw."

Seonghwa winces, "Yeah.... do you happen to remember if you wore a condom?"

Mingi tenses and didn't say anything as he kept his dark eyes locked with Seonghwa's blue. The brunette leans forward and his eyes narrow, "What's this about?"

Seonghwa took a deep breath and reached in his pocket, pulling out the test and laying it on the table. He had placed it in a ziplock baggie for sanitary purposes, but one look at the test and Mingi grits his teeth again, "Oh."

Seonghwa nods, "Yeah... oh..."

"Well that would explain the reason why I couldn't find it after you had left," Mingi mutters, "Guess I didn't wear one. But wait, shouldn't you be on birth control? Since you can, you know, do this?"

Seonghwa scoffs, "It takes two to tango buddy. Birth control isn't one hundred percent and neither is just condoms. Yes, I was on the pill, but I forgot to take it the night when we had sex because I was so tired-"

"So it's my fault?" Mingi scoffs.

"If you had worn a condom it wouldn't be!" Seonghwa snaps.

"If you had been more responsible and taken your pill, we wouldn't be in this mess! It's not just my fault dickhead!" Mingi snaps back, a hint of a growl was in his voice and Seonghwa felt his anger boil. Taking a deep breath, he had to calm himself down, stress isn't good for the baby.

"Okay, look," Seonghwa raises his hands up, "I just came here to tell you. Because I'm giving you the option on if you wanted to see your kid or not. If not, fine I will raise it on my own. But if you do," he pulls out a piece of paper that had his cell phone number on it and slaps it in front of Mingi, "Here's my number, I will text you dates for doctors appointments and send you photos. But I will not have my son or daughter's father walk in and out of their lives. They're just an innocent baby, they didn't do anything to deserve their father not making an effort to be in their lives. So you decide now, are you in or are you out?"

Mingi looks from the pregnancy test to the phone number, biting his lip and Seonghwa waited patiently. Finally, he reached in his pocket and pulls out his phone, putting in Seonghwa's number and sending him a text. Seonghwa's phone chimed and Mingi smirks, "This wasn't how I envisioned giving you my number, but better now than never I suppose."

____

"Alright Seonghwa, your check up is perfect, you are healthy and your blood pressure isn't too high or too low. Stay healthy for the next eight or seven months and you will have a healthy baby in your arms," his doctor winks, "now based on the information you gave me, you seem to be about six or seven weeks? Is that correct?"

"Maybe eight," Seonghwa bites his lip, "it took me a while to take the at home pregnancy test and then come here."

"Well, we're glad you're here now, and I'm going to be prescribing you some medication for you and the baby," she smiles, looking to Mingi, "And since you're the father you make sure he takes them."

"Yes ma'am," Mingi chuckles, watching as she wheels in the ultrasound machine and instructs Seonghwa to situate himself on the bed and to pull his jeans down a little to expose his small tummy. He was already starting to show, and he wasn't sure how to feel about it yet.

The doctor flips the machine on then pours lube on his lower stomach. Seonghwa hisses at the sudden chill before she places the Doppler wand on his belly and begins moving it around slowly. Within seconds, she has a clear image of their baby, "And there's your baby."

The parents gasp and Mingi lays his chin in his hands as he watches the baby move and wiggle, "Its so... tiny."

"It looks like a tiny chicken nugget," Seonghwa giggles, his eyes water and he is quick to wipe the tears away. Mingi and the doctor chuckle, the doctor then decides to flip a switch on the machine and soon the room is flooded with a steady thumping noise.

"Oh my god, is that-" Mingi gawks, and the doctor laughs.

"Yes, that's the little heartbeat," she chuckles, pointing to the screen, "if you look here you can also see the actual heart and see it beating."

Both parents gasp once more and Seonghwa felt his lip tremble, "Can I have some photos?"

"Absolutely honey!" The doctor coos, printing off photos by hitting a button, "and you can also record this if you want."

"Oh hell yeah," Mingi grabs his phone and records the screen, catching the tiny heart beating and also the sound of the heartbeat ringing throughout the entire room. He smiles widely and his heart suddenly feels so full, "That's my baby."

"Our baby," Seonghwa cuts in, smiling as he watches Mingi interact with the tiny fetus, who he swears is going to be just like him. The doctor sends them home with special instructions and the photos, as well as many pamphlets of information the parents would want to know during the first trimester as well as the entire pregnancy.

When they get outside to Seonghwa's car, Mingi turns to him and bites his lip, "Go out with me."

"What?" Seonghwa asks, arching his eyebrow with a small smile.

"You heard me, go on a date with me," Mingi smiles back, feeling nervous for asking the older out just now and not a long time ago before they were in this situation.

"W-Well I-"

"It doesn't have to be anything extravagant," Mingi chuckles, "We can get food and take it to the park and have a picnic. Or we can go see a movie, or go out to eat-"

Seonghwa leans over, locking their lips together in a small kiss and shutting Mingi up before pulling away. The younger blushes and Seonghwa giggles, "Okay. This Friday I'm off, so take me to Olive Garden and I might consider a second date."

"Deal," Mingi winks, "Just so you know, I'm going to spoil you and this baby rotten."

"I don't doubt it one bit," Seonghwa laughs.

____

"Turn to the side for me," Mingi smiles, zooming in on Seonghwa as he turns to the side and shows off the perfectly round belly. The older smiles, cradling the bump with both hands, Mingi snaps the photo and whispers, "Beautiful."

"Did you get my good side?" Seonghwa asks as he walks over to the bed, grabbing his clothes he laid out for the doctor appointment today. This wasn't just any appointment, this was the appointment they've been waiting for. The one where they can finally find out the gender of their baby.

"Every side of you is perfect," Mingi winks, and Seonghwa rolls his eyes with an amused smile.

"Are you trying to get in my pants?"

"Maybe," Mingi bites his lip, "Is it working?"

"I don't know, why don't you come shower with me and we'll see," Seonghwa winks, turning on his heels and walking towards Mingi's bathroom. They had moved in with one another at Mingi's house he rented with another friend of his, it took some getting used to but Seonghwa had grown use to sleeping with the younger and even showering with him. Which, let's be honest, most of the time it wasn't showering they were doing.

Mingi stands, "Do we have time?"

"If you hurry and not poke around we'll have plenty of time to get food and then go to the appointment," Seonghwa calls from the bathroom, already stripped down to nothing and Mingi was in awe at his beauty and perfect skin.

Mingi grabs his hips and squeezes them, loving how wider they seem to be. And Seonghwa's thighs have grown a little as well, and turned Mingi on so much. He locks his lips on Seonghwa's neck and not so subtly began sucking a mark on his neck. Seonghwa giggles, grabbing Mingi's hands and moving it down to touch his belly. Mingi couldn't feel, but Seonghwa is able to feel tiny movements inside and any day now he's supposed to be able to feel them externally.

Mingi was a little hesitant at first of touching Seonghwa's belly when he started showing more, but once Seonghwa practically put his hands on the bump one day he was fine now. Now, even when they're intimate, Mingi will place kisses all over it and some nights he'll cuddle Seonghwa and his hands will place themselves protectively on the older's belly. He still gives Seonghwa his space, but whenever he wants to he'll put his hands on Seonghwa's belly and pretend he's touching their baby.

Seonghwa hums, tilting his head back and closing his eyes, "We have a time limit."

"I know, I'm just getting you riled up so once we get back home I can finish you off," Mingi spoke deeply, kissing the shell of Seonghwa's ear and the older shivers.

"Well come on then, let's get showers so we can go see baby."

"Aye aye captain," Mingi chuckles, landing a smack on Seonghwa's plump rear and hearing him gasp at the sensation.

"Mingi!" He blushes, pouting slightly. Mingi strips his clothing off, turning to wink at him as he turns on the shower and steps in. He holds his hand out and helps Seonghwa in the tub, they immediately melt at the warm water touching their skin. Mingi, being the gentleman that he is, washed Seonghwa for him and honestly the older didn't complain. He loved having Mingi's hands all over him.

They quickly shower, dress up, and then head to their baby appointment which thankfully they made it just in time. As they waited, Mingi took Seonghwa's hand and gives it a small squeeze, "Hey, I've been thinking..."

"Oh no," Seonghwa laughs, "That's never good."

"Oh shush," Mingi rolls his eyes, making the older chuckle, "We've been together for five months now right?"

Seonghwa nods, frowning, "Yes. Why?"

Mingi smiles, "Well, I think it's safe to say we're officially together. You're my boyfriend and I'm yours right?"

Seonghwa arches his eyebrow, "You're just now figuring this out."

Mingi shrugs, "I haven't really asked but I figured I'd take the shot."

Seonghwa giggles, shaking his head, "Yes Mingi, we're boyfriends. And you're the father to my baby and-"

Mingi connects their lips to shut up the silverish blonde, chuckling as he done so, "Hush, now you're just being a smart ass."

"Park Seonghwa?" A nurse calls, smiling when Mingi helps him stand from the chair and he walks with her to the back.

They go through the usual checkup, and then once the nurse was done the doctor enters and confirming the nurses status. She hums when she checks the size of his belly, "Your bump is a little below the scale of what we want it to be, but that could be just them laying more towards your back."

She turns on the machine and Seonghwa held his breath as she stopped and smiles to them, "Did you want to know the sex? They're in a perfect spot and not shy at all."

"Gets it from me," Mingi chuckles, looking to her, "What is it?"

"Congratulations gentlemen, you're having a healthy baby boy."

Seonghwa gasps, looking up at Mingi, "Mingi, it's a boy!"

Mingi stared in awe at the screen as he takes in the information. He has a son. They're having a son together. Mingi leans down and locks lips with Seonghwa, pulling away to smile, "I love you."

Seonghwa's eyes widen at the sudden confession and he smiles back before tearing up, "I love you too."

____

It wasn't even a month later when Seonghwa calls Mingi to the kitchen when he was making dinner for the household. Mingi rushes in there, nearly slipping in his socks on the hardwood floor, "What is it!? Is he coming!?"

"No," Seonghwa giggles, reaching for him and pulling him close, "It's way too early for him to be coming."

"Then why are you-" Seonghwa shushes him and places his hands on his belly, right over where he felt their son kicking. Mingi frowns, "I don't feel anything."

"Give him a moment, he's just now kicking for us," Seonghwa laughs, which then in turn causes their son to kick.

And Mingi felt it.

"Holy shit!! That's incredible!" He exclaims, instantly pressing their lips together in a quick and unexpected peck before getting on his knees and feeling a couple more kicks before they stop, "Hey buddy, you finally kicked for daddy? Huh? Can you kick again for me?" It took a little bit after he stopped, but he managed to kick again and flutter them all around Mingi's hands. Mingi gasps, looking up at Seonghwa and smiling, "I felt it again!"

Seonghwa giggles as he feels fluttering and wild kicks being placed all around Mingi's hands until they slowly stop and the pregnant male smiles, "I think he wore himself out."

Mingi hums, placing a kiss right by Seonghwa's belly button and feels the baby move to press himself right against Mingi's hands, "I love you little guy, I can't wait to have you here."

____

"Well you're dilated to a two and your fifty percent effaced, and you're already experiencing practice contractions, so I say try to get this labor moving otherwise he's going to take his time," The doctor chuckles as she removes her gloves.

Mingi helps Seonghwa sit up and when he does he huffs, placing a hand on his belly, "What can we do to speed up labor? At this rate I'm going to be late."

"Well, you can try walking, bouncing on a yoga ball lightly, eating spicy foods, a lot of people say sex is a great labor inducing trick. There's a whole bunch of things you can try, just use precaution since you are thirty-nine weeks pregnant and your water could break any moment."

Seonghwa looks to Mingi who wiggles his eyebrows at the older and he couldn't help but giggle, "Well, let's get this baby out of me I'm done growing him."

It took two days of walking, eating Thai food (which consequences of heartburn), and bouncing on a yoga ball for nearly a whole day for Seonghwa to burst into tears. His water hasn't broken yet, and he's starting to get frustrated, that is until Mingi offers for them to try sex. Yes they've been intimate during his pregnancy, but once his belly started getting bigger it felt a little awkward to be doing so. Mostly because he felt self conscious even though Mingi tells him every day he's beautiful.

But he is so desperate right now he's willing to do just about anything to get this baby out of him. Mingi was gentle of course and made sure Seonghwa was comfortable before doing anything further, but at this point Seonghwa just wants him to fuck him raw.

"God!!" Seonghwa screams, gripping Mingi's hair as he kisses his inner thighs and pumps three fingers in and out of him at a brutally fast pace, thrusting right at his prostate nicely. He whimpers, leaning up, "I need you."

Mingi hums, gripping Seonghwa's thighs and moves Seonghwa onto his hands and knees, Seonghwa arching his back and raising his ass higher in the air. Mingi doesn't hesitate to push himself in, gripping Seonghwa's hips harder in his large hands and thrusting into him quickly to get them to their releases. Seonghwa moans, tilting hit head forward and resting it on the bed as Mingi drove into him needy like.

"Fuck baby! Make me cum please," Seonghwa moans loudly, not even caring at this point if someone can hear them.

Mingi grunts, reaching forward and finding Seonghwa's abandoned leaking cock under the swollen belly, jerking him off in time with his thrusts and soon the pregnant male was cumming hard. Mingi came in him soon after, both sighing and panting for air until Mingi pulls out and helps Seonghwa roll over onto his side. Seonghwa falls asleep as soon as Mingi cuddles into him, only to wake up an hour after and waddle to the bathroom in a hurry.

He relieves his bladder, sighing happily as he cleans up. He decided to take a shower, wrinkling his nose when he feels Mingi's drying cum leak out of him. He steps in the warm water, washing himself thoroughly until he hears a gush of water. And not from the shower. He gasps, could it be?

"Mingi!!" Seonghwa shouts, only then kicking himself when he realizes the other can sleep through a train horn he wouldn't hear him. He turns the shower off and steps out, drying himself off quickly before waddling back to their bedroom. And of course he was right. Mingi was sound asleep, snoring as if he didn't have a worry in the world. That is, until Seonghwa hits him in the face with his pregnancy pillow, "Babe!"

Mingi snorts awake, narrowing his eyes at Seonghwa only to see his hair wet, he's still naked and holding the underside of his belly. He instantly sits up and he didn't even have to say anything before Seonghwa gasps and leans forward on the bed, panting and whimpering, "Owwww."

"Is it finally happening?" Mingi asks excitedly, a smile growing on his face.

"Yes," Seonghwa whimpers, the cramp wasn't extremely painful but it caught him off guard and it did hurt, "My water broke in the shower I think."

Mingi stands, grabbing his discarded boxers and puts them on, only to jump back when more water gushes out of Seonghwa and the older covers his mouth, "There's more!?"

"Oh my god I'm so embarrassed," Seonghwa covers his face with his hands, sniffling, "I'm sorry!"

"Baby it's okay," Mingi whispers, kissing Seonghwa's temple as the older sniffles and sobs, "Its completely natural. I'll go get some towels and clean this up, you crawl in bed and rest. When you have a contraction starting up let me know and I'll time them."

Time seemed to speed up after that. Seonghwa's contractions grew closer later in the day until finally he looks at Mingi and lets out a moan of pain, "We need to go to the hospital, I can't do this anymore."

Mingi packed their bags while Seonghwa rested and drove them to the hospital, and once they were checked in the doctor immediately checks Seonghwa and makes a noise of surprise, "Oh! You're actually dilated to seven! That was quick!"

"Thank god!" Seonghwa groans, the contractions were starting to become more painful and he was starting to become more hateful and moody. He wouldn't let Mingi touch him the whole drive up there and in the hospital room, until he was done with a contraction then he needed Mingi's hand or him in general.

The couple had decided on a water birth, Seonghwa hearing many good things about it and wanted to do something different besides sitting in a bed and having the baby. Or having a caesarean, he wanted to avoid that at all costs. They ran the tub and helped him in it, Seonghwa spent the rest of his labor in there and Mingi joined him occasionally until it was time to push. Mingi sat behind him, the doctor and nurse stood to the side and instructed Mingi what to do and Seonghwa what to do.

And then suddenly, before he even processed it, he was pushing.

Seonghwa could feel the pressure increase as he pushes, moaning in pain he tilts his head back onto Mingi's shoulder. The younger was helping him by whispering sweet encouragement in his ears and holding his knees back as he pushes. The doctor and nurse cheer him on from the edge of the tub, Seonghwa continues to push and sobs in pain.

When he pushes the head out, everyone cheers and the nurse actually leaned over the tub to check on the baby and smiles, "This baby has a lot of hair mama!"

Seonghwa giggles slightly, panting for air as gains energy and pushes more and more. His hands reach down and he can actually touch his baby as he pushes a few more times.

"Oh god this hurts!!" Seonghwa sobs, Mingi kissing his temple and held back his thighs.

"You're doing so good baby, so so good," he whispers, brushing his nose against Seonghwa's cheekbone as he kisses his cheek, "He's almost here!"

He feels his son slowly emerge into the world and gasps when he feels the intense pressure gone. He brings his son up to his chest and holds him there, the baby squeals angrily as he is nuzzled into Seonghwa's chest.

"Hi baby boy," Seonghwa sobs, panting for air and placing soft kisses on his son's head, "Oh my little Eli, you're so perfect, so so handsome," he coos.

Song Eli was born with Seonghwa's chin and jawline, his tiny face was shaped like Seonghwa's too. The eyes, lips, and forehead belonged to Mingi. His nose they couldn't tell, but Seonghwa is pretty sure he has his nose. He had quite a bit of hair, Seonghwa did have a lot of heartburn when he was pregnant and supposedly when you have a lot of heartburn when pregnant your baby will have a lot of hair. His little fingers and toes were long like Mingi and Seonghwa's, and Seonghwa loved how chunky his baby is.

Once Seonghwa delivers the afterbirth, and Eli was cleaned up and had his check up, they were in bed once more and Seonghwa could hardly take his eyes off of his baby. He was just so perfect and handsome, his and Mingi's itty bitty person they created. Eli was just in a diaper and hat, a blanket placed over him as he slept on Seonghwa's bare chest for skin to skin contact. Mingi felt warm looking at his boyfriend and their son, smiling he said something that caught Seonghwa off guard completely, "Marry me."

Seonghwa looks up from looking at their son, his eyes wide, "W-What?"

"Marry me," Mingi repeats, his tone and his body language gave off that vibe that he meant every word. He locks eyes with Seonghwa, and he knew his lover was serious.

Seonghwa tears up, his lip wobbling, "You want to marry me?"

Mingi leans forward and connects their lips, nuzzling their noses together when he pulls away, "I want nothing more than to marry you and change your last name to match Eli's." Seonghwa sobs, nodding his head and Mingi chuckles, "I need a verbal answer love."

"Yes!" He sobs, wiping his eyes as Mingi pulls away to grab the ring from his pocket.

He smiles as he slips it on Seonghwa's finger, "I'm glad I remembered it, I would've forgotten to take it out of my pocket and you would've eventually found it in the laundry."

Seonghwa laughs, his eyes shining with tears as Mingi sits on the bed with them, holding both his fiancé and his son close and enjoying the moment between all three of them.

He couldn't wait to see what the future held for all three of them.
