The moment the front door slammed shut, Shownu knew something was wrong. He was in his office, grading math tests he brought home over the weekend, when the door slammed shut and he heard sniffling and sobs get closer to his room then pass by. Kihyun's figure was sort of a blur as he passes by the door, a hand over his mouth. Shownu frowns, instantly drawing to his feet to go see what's wrong with his pregnant husband, only for Kihyun to lock their bedroom door.

Shownu jiggles the knob, knocking gently, "Baby? You okay? Let me in, you gotta calm down."

Kihyun sobs a couple more times, not opening the door like Shownu had hoped so the father of the unborn baby pounds on the door now more worried, "Ki, please let me in."

He whips his phone out, texting Jackson first then texting Namjoon and asking them what happened. He knew Kihyun went over to Mark's to help take photos of his shop, he was wanting some professional photos hung up around his shop to make it more professional looking and nicer. However, he wasn't sure if Mark had said something to him... or if Seokjin did. Kihyun and Seokjin aren't the best of friends, but surely Seokjin wouldn't stoop low enough to make a pregnant man come home sobbing?

He pockets his phone when he hears the door unlock and Kihyun opens it, wiping his face of the tears as he continues to sob. Shownu brings him in his arms, shushing him, "Ki, shhh, calm down babe. You're stressing the baby out, breathe."

Kihyun buries his face in Shownu's chest, breathing in his faint cologne on his band T-shirt and trying his best to breath and to calm down. He didn't want to hurt his baby, but stressing over what just happened will if he doesn't calm himself. He tried, he really did, but the memory of him hitting Seokjin played over and over in his head until suddenly-

"AH!" Kihyun screams, almost falling to his knees from the sharp pain in his stomach.

"Kihyun?! What's wrong," Shownu asks, now really worried as his husband holds his belly.

"It hurts it hurts," Kihyun chants while still crying, "Oh god babe it hurts!"

"Okay, we're going to the doctor this is not okay," Shownu picks Kihyun up, carrying him to the car and managing to lock the house and grabs some shoes before he left. He sped the whole way to the hospital, Kihyun crying and holding his belly as the stomach pains grew worse. When they finally made it, Kihyun was immediately admitted and put in a room.

They check his blood pressure and his sugar, making sure those were okay but his blood pressure was really high. After giving him some Tylenol to take and letting him rest for an hour there, the doctor knocks on the door and gives the couple a small smile, "Son Kihyun, what in the world happened?" She jokes, putting her hands on her hips.

Kihyun gives her a tired and sleepy smile, the doctor smiles back and checks his vitals before turning back to the expecting couple, "Well, the baby is fine, but you pushed yourself doing god knows what and your blood pressure skyrocketed. What exactly did you do?"

Kihyun sighs, "I got in an argument with our neighbor, and got so upset I stressed myself too thin."

She nods, humming, "Yeah you did. You're very lucky you didn't lose your baby. You were under so much stress that your baby's heart rate dropped. If you hadn't gotten here as quick as you did you would've lost your baby. So here's what I'm going to tell you," She rolls her stool up and faces both parents, focusing her attention on them both and they did the same with her, "You need to get the stress under control. Your baby is at risk the more you stress out and for being only twelve weeks you're still in the war zone for a miscarriage."

Kihyun swallows, feeling tears well up and the heart monitor rises slowly. She stands, grabbing his hand, "Kihyun, breathe."

He nods, taking in deep breathes to calm down and slowly his heart rate went down to normal. She nods, "Unfortunately, you can't be put on any kind of medications other than Tylenol. We're going to keep you over night for observation, but tomorrow the first thing you do is have some meditation time. Take about an hour, hour and thirty minutes to yourself to either read, write, do breathing exercises, something. Just relax. As for the pain, all we can tell you is to take some Tylenol. Stay away from this neighbor giving you stress. As long as you don't stress your baby out like you did today again, you'll be alright. If it happens again, I'm not guaranteeing your baby's survival."

Kihyun swallows, nodding his head as the information hits him hard in the head and in the chest. Shownu hasn't lost focus once and made sure to take everything she said down and lock it away in his brain to remember. Shownu hasn't once left his side, and early the next morning Kihyun was discharged from the hospital. When they got home, Shownu helps him lay on their bed and hands him two Tylenol and a glass of water, "Take this, and lay down and relax for an hour and a half. I'm going to be in my office if you need me."

Kihyun nods, puckering his lips for his husband to kiss him and with a chuckle, Shownu does so. When he left, Kihyun lays still in the darkness and caresses his stomach. He was still hurting, but nothing like what he was feeling yesterday. He lifts his band T-shirt that was Shownu's, touching his belly as if he was talking to his baby, "I'm so sorry I hurt you baby. Mommy will do better to keep you healthy and well. We don't want to lose you, my little one."

He stays like this, talking to his baby about little things and making promises he's planning to keep. About two hours later, Shownu enters the room with a smile and a bowl of fruit, "Doctor said we needed to limit the amount of sugar and salt in your diet, so I thought fresh fruit would be better than garlic chicken salad."

"That sounds nice too," Kihyun pouts, "thank you though baby. I appreciate it."

Shownu sits on the bed beside Kihyun, who takes the fruit bowl and leans back to eat. Shownu lifts the bottom of Kihyun's shirt, leaning down and pressing a kiss by his belly button, "Stay strong little one, Daddy will make sure Mommy won't stress you both out."

Kihyun smiles, "I'm sorry, I'll do better to stay calm."

Shownu chuckles, kissing his belly once more before pulling away and looking into Kihyun's cat like eyes, his own dark eyes baring into Kihyun's soul, "You never told me what happened."

Kihyun doesn't say anything as he eats a blueberry, setting the fruit bowl aside and grabbing Shownu's hand, "It was my fault-"

"I doubt that," Shownu snorts.

"Can I finish?" Kihyun snaps, arching his eyebrow sassily and after the look Shownu gives him he sighs, "I'm sorry. Anyway, it is my fault because I shouldn't have said anything. Seokjin came over to Mark's when I was showing the photos to Mark that I took for his shop. He seen them and said they looked nice, and wanted to know who took them. I told him I did, and then after that he just.... basically called me a horrible photographer for not blowing the photos up to poster sizzle and that Mark can find a better photographer than me around here."

Shownu's eyes grew dark and Kihyun cups his cheek, "Don't go all Papa bear yet, listen. I stood up and asked him what his problem with me was. He's been rude and hateful to me ever since we moved in, and I don't even know what I did to the bloke," Kihyun rolls his eyes, eating a berry to gather his thoughts.

When he swallows, he nods, "He said he didn't like that I basically moved here and tried to steal Mark from him. That Mark was his best friend and no one takes his best friend. Then, he said, 'You think you're so special just because you're pregnant and new to the neighborhood, but really you're nothing but a pathetic housewife with no job.'"

Shownu growls, Kihyun strokes his cheek as Shownu's eyes turn darker, he was getting angry. Kihyun shushes him, "Baby, calm down. If you're angry it'll stress me out and I don't want to keep away from you if you're stressing me out."

Shownu closes his eyes, taking a deep breath before nodding, "Continue."

Kihyun swallows, "After he said that I-I snapped. I slapped him across the face."

Shownu's eyes jerk open and they were wide, "You hit him?"

Kihyun nods, "I shouldn't have, I know, I couldn't believe I did it but after I did I had to get out of there. And that's when I came back over here. If I stayed there, he could've either hurt me or my baby and I didn't want to risk it-"

"He's fucking dead," Shownu snarls, trying to get off the bed but Kihyun held his hand.

"Babe, no," Kihyun says softly, "he's not worth it. Please, calm."

"Ki, you were just in the hospital last night from all of this. He's caused you to stress out and stressed the baby. You have every right to slap the fucker, but now it's my turn."

"Son Hyunwoo, no," Kihyun says sternly, "if you hurt him you risk your friendship with Namjoon and I'm not allowing you to do that!"

Shownu growls, sitting back down after taking into consideration what his husband said. Kihyun grabs his hand, bringing it up to his lips and kissing the palm, "I'll just do what the doctor told me and stay away from them. We just won't have them over for dinner or go over to Mark's when they're over there."

"It's taking everything I have to not go grab his hair by the roots and drag him over here to apologize to you."

"No, he's not worth it," Kihyun says softly, "Take a nap with me? I stayed up talking to the baby the entire time and didn't really sleep."

"Ki," Shownu sighs, "you're supposed to be resting."

"I was, I was just talking to the baby as well," Kihyun giggles, "Come on, sleep with me. I can't sleep unless me cuddle bear is cuddling me."

Shownu chuckles, crawling in under the covers behind Kihyun and cuddling him just how he likes. Kihyun hums, holding onto his husband's arm as he closes his eyes, "I think I'm going to have the baby call you Papa Bear instead of Daddy."

"Oh yeah?" Shownu smiles, "Then you're going to be Mama bear instead of Mommy."

"No, I think I'll stick with mommy, it's more catchy."

"You just don't want the baby to say Daddy because that's my name for you," Shownu whispers in Kihyun's ear, who shivers and smacks his arm.

"Shut up and sleep."
