Natalia hasn't really noticed any changes between Jeno and his daily routine. It has always been the same and the omega looked fine.
However, that is until Jeno's symptoms started getting worse and there was not much time for him to hide it away from Natalia any longer.
At first, Natalia thought he was just ill or something and didn't worry much when her father seemed to take responsibility and took care of the in-weak-state Jeno.
But then, Jeno's routine changed more obviously for Natalia to be worried and curious about.
Jeno would usually wake her up at 6 or 7 am, but instead had started waking her up somewhere around 7:30 before rushing to the bathroom.
The brunet boy would throw up randomly, mostly in mornings. Rushing through the bathroom after excusing himself quickly in a muffled voice against his palm.
He would have weird carvings too, asking and looking for food they most likely don't have or food they do have but in odd combinations.
One time, Doyoung grimaced when they entered the living room to hangout and spotted Jeno on the couch munching on some Cheetos with ice cream.
Natalia just thought the brunet boy was very hungry and wanted to try other foods as well. Even in odd mixtures.
Jaemin's routine had changed too.
He's been spending more time at home than going to work and proceeded whatever comes next.
He takes days off, excuses himself to his employees, ask if it was alright to meet up in the minimum time of an hour or two before rushing back home.
But that's not all, he's spending more time with Jeno too.
Had always have a careful eye on the brunet as if any second, he would disappear.
He always asked if Jeno was alright or if he needed anything, complying whatever Jeno's shy yet polite favors were asked, helping him with the chores or so.
It was like the tables have turned, now it was Jaemin who was working a lot for Jeno, not complaining anything even if Jeno would suddenly change his mind on things.
Natalia thought her father was just being a good man towards Jeno, taking extra good care of him as if he was glass.
But then, a few months later. Jeno's tummy has grown more visibly.
Although, Natalia tried hard not to wonder about it and shrug it off since she was just a kid.
Until she caught Jaemin hugging Jeno by the waist tightly, kissing his forehead like before. It was nothing to be surprised of, really, since she has witnessed it multiple times and heard Doyoung grumbling about it.
Except, what was new to witness for her was when Jaemin had laid a gentle hand of his own onto Jeno's growing tummy, caressing it with a wide proud smile on his handsome face.
She couldn't help but sneak in the kitchen and tilts her head, "why is daddy touching puppy's tummy like that? And why is puppy's tummy growing?" She blurts out.
The two adults flinched as Jeno shuts his eyes exhaling in relief with a hand clasped onto his chest like he had just been jumped scared.
Jaemin sighed and turns to Natalia, "sweetheart, don't scare Jeno like that again okay? He's... Going through something." He stammered.
The little girl pursed his lips with knitted eyebrows in wonder, "daddy's been acting weird. But I'm not really worried because he seems to be taking care of Puppy." She said.
The pure alpha cleared his throat as he turns back to Jeno making eye contact with him, both of them mumbled out some words silently while Natalia was waiting for them.
Finally, Jeno nodded with his eyebrows up as Jaemin could only sigh softly mumbling a soft "fine" and kept a hand on the brunet's lower back.
"Let's go to the living room shall we? Daddy and puppy will explain some things for Natalia to hopefully understand. Can you do that for us, pumpkin?" He asked laying a hand down onto his daughter's shoulder.
Without hesitation, Natalia nodded excitedly as she practically ran towards the living room leaving Jaemin and Jeno behind in the peaceful kitchen.
"Are you sure she's ready for the news? Wait– are you ready? Because I don't want to force you or anything, y'know what? Let's just like– false alarm to her or something–"
Jaemin's ranting got interrupted by a soft kiss on the lips from Jeno who gave a smile with his eyes turning into crescents.
"She's a big girl now, probably even more mature than most 5-6 years olds. We can't keep everything from her, Jaemin. She'll just get upset when she grows older and realized what white lies we've told her." Jeno stated.
"Well yeah but she's still a kid–"
"And that's why she'll learn." Jeno cuts off with his arms now wrapped around Jaemin's neck loosely. "Jaemin, I don't know how much to tell you of how wise and smart Natalia can be." He chuckled.
"What are you talking about–"
"She knows, Jaemin," he paused. "She knows more than you think of on a 5-6 year old."
Jaemin pursed his lips in hesitation. "I just don't want to be an even worse dad than I already have wasted on." He sighed.
Jeno could only smile at his words, "you're not a bad dad. Never have been," he reassures.
"But I think you just need to use your time wisely for both Natalia and you."
"And you."
"What?" Jeno raised a brow at as Jaemin grins at him with a look.
"Jeno, I know we don't have much time before Natalia ruins to moment or something but..." A small gasp escaped Jeno's lips when he saw Jaemin opening a small white box with a specific yet special jewelry on it.
Jeno couldn't pronounce words correctly as he looks up at Jaemin with teary eyes. "B-but yo-you're still married a-and–"
"Heejin and I will have our court settled this Thursday. I've planned it for months with the thankful help of your brother who kindly offered it." The pure alpha shared.
"We don't have to rush the wedding and all. Especially with you still pregnant." He continued as he gave a small chuckle.
"But I just want to clear things out, and show everyone on how I fell extremely in love with you and not Heejin." A small peck on the forehead with Jeno still tearing up.
"I know we haven't had the perfect love life history in the world or made things clearer as day. But, we don't have to, because our actions speaks for ourselves." Jaemin smiled.
Jeno chuckled lightly at that, "we didn't even go through a proper "will you be my boyfriend" stage or something." He said.
The pink haired boy laughed as he shrugged, "then let's upgrade it to "will you marry me?" Stage." He murmured.
"Yes." The brunet blurts out as he couldn't fight back the tears and wide grin any longer. "Please, please make me not scared of alphas and all anymore." He sniffled.
He glances at the ring before looking back at Jaemin as he mumbled, "please show me that I can still love them and have hope."
"I'll try my best, pretty." Was what Jaemin could say before they shared a tight hug as they kept Natalia patiently waiting in the living room.
Things have changed in the Na residence. Except, Heejin was the same as before. Disappearing most of the time, but no one took a single care of it. Because there's really nothing to hide anymore.
Not when Jaemin found the chance to end this.
