Yifan cleared his throat as he stood in front of the reporters. The cameras were flashing around the Chinese man as he awkwardly stood there.

"Mr. Wu, what was your reason for those pictures?"

"Are you and Park Chanyeol's husband involved in an affair?"

The Chinese man put up his hand silencing everyone in the hall. "Yes, the photos were real but the story was all made up. I said tha--"

"As a prank." Chanyeol draped an arm over his shoulder as Sehun and Kai stood beside them. "I played a prank on him and he got back at me. That's it, folks," said the raven head and the other three nodded.

Disappointed about getting no scoop on the new news, the reporters left.

When it was only the four, Chanyeol turned to Yifan with a smirk, "How 'bout a game of Paintball for old time's sake?"

"I still hate you, by the way," said Yifan poking out his tongue. "Come on, we promised to never involve our business, right? If you actually said something your company would lose everything, you giant idiot." Sehun reminded them.

"Which giant idiot?" Said Jongin, "Both are giants and both are idiots."

Yifan smirked at Chanyeol, "I'm taller than this kid here, come on man."

Chanyeol punched his side, "Jerk!"

With that, the four took off to the paintball game. Yifan was yet to realize how unfortunate he was.

"Hold up, hold up," said the eldest of the four, "you three against one? Is that fair? Does that make sense?" Jongin and Sehun laughed at Yifan while Chanyeol patted his shoulder.

"I'll try not to kill you, Kris."

With Jongin, Sehun and Chanyeol against Yifan, the four began the game. Yifan lost count of how many times he had been shot as the three surrounded him to shoot him down.

When he could not take it anymore, he fell on his knees, "I surrender!"

The trio came out of their hiding places and approached the eldest in the middle. "Since Baekhyun can't play this now, I'll have his shot," said the raven head before shooting on his helmet.

"That actually hurt, you asshole."

"That's the main objective if you haven't understood it yet." Sehun smacked Yifan's shoulder before helping him on his feet.

Getting out of the game, the four decided to have lunch at McDonald's.

The four sipped on their colas as they caught up with each other's lives.

"Whatever happened to Tao?" Sehun said dipping his fries in ketchup.

Yifan groaned at the question putting his head on his hand, "I don't know."

"All he said was he needed a break and I said alright. That was it. He hasn't come to Korea ever since and I went there but I couldn't find him. He changed his address, everything."

Chanyeol patted his back. The trio knew how much Yifan liked Tao, no, loved him. He was a little puppy with him as Tao had him wrapped around his finger.

There had been times when the three envied their relationship but no one could figure out his sudden disappearance. "Tell Baekhyun I said sorry," said the eldest and the raven head nodded with a smile.

"By the way, your assis--"

"I fired her a long time ago."

__________

Baekhyun cuddled into the blankets and sniffed on his husband's cologne which lingered on it. Speaking of that asshole, Baekhyun woke up with a glare on his pretty face.

"Right," he puffed his cheeks, "I was gonna make your daddy bald, Marshmallow." He sat at the edge of the bed standing up after a couple of minutes and stretched his limbs as a yawn escaped his lips.

After cleaning up, the short male walked to the kitchen with a hand stroking the bump feeling the flutters. Baekhyun narrowed his eyes when he could not find anyone in the kitchen.

The younger scratched his head as he walked to the living room and smiled seeing Minyoung who was sewing something. "Oh, Baek," the lady put down the material before pulling her son-in-law to sit beside her on the couch.

"I wanted to try sew clothes for Marshmallow, want to try?" Baekhyun smiled sheepishly, "I've never held a needle before, to be honest, Mom."

The lady chuckled before handing him a piece of cloth and a needle and a thread, "I'll show you, alright?" The younger nodded as he began watching her and following closely.

Baekhyun smiled at the little 'Hi' he had managed to make and took pride in it while the lady too cheered him on. "Wait," the lady stood up, "how can I forget breakfast? Chanyeol would kill me."

Baekhyun laughed at her dramatic reaction and shook his head. "Come on, I made your favourite blueberry pancakes." The doctor smiled as he followed the elder to the kitchen.

"Where's Chanyeol, Mom?" The younger asked as he took a bite off the dish. "He took a day off to hang out with Jongin, Sehun and Yifan, honey."

The male choked on a piece of blueberry at the last name and the lady fetched him water as she patted his back, "Slow down, sweetie."

Once he caught his breath, the younger turned to Minyoung, "Yifan?" She nodded with a smile, "Didn't I tell you?"

Baekhyun nodded as he continued to eat his breakfast. "Why didn't he wake me up, Mom?"

"Because you're late for work?"

Baekhyun nodded as he took the dish to the sink and washed it. "I thought it'd be good for you to have a day off and things have been rough lately, so I thought you two could maybe go on a walk to a park or somewhere and relax for the day."

"But he left, Mom."

"He'll be back soon, sweetie. And you practice the sewing while I go tend to my roses."

Baekhyun nodded but the lady never noticed the dejected look in his eyes. The young doctor stood up with clenched fists as he walked upstairs.

Putting his ear to the door of the office, he listened to the continuous tapping of a pen. He knew Jaehwan was busy, just as Minyoung.

Grabbing his phone, he went out and hailed a cab.

The first person he ran into when he reached the hospital was Jongdae.

"What are you doing here? Why are you here?"

Baekhyun glared at him and walked away followed by the nurse. "Chanyeol doesn't even wanna stay with me despite having taken a day off," he wore his coat and continued, "Can you believe him? I proved him wrong yet he still hasn't said a word to me and gone off to play with his friends."

He did not know he had been crying until Jongdae wiped his tears and embraced him patting his back, "It's gonna be alright, baby. Don't cry."

Just then they rushed out hearing the loud ruckus. Two patients were wheeled out of the ambulance and Kyungsoo and Baekhyun rushed to them.

It was a man, who they assumed to be the drunk truck driver and a pregnant lady, who Baekhyun assumed to be around 6 or 7 months along.

The driver had minor bruises and a fracture on his left leg while the lady had glass shards piercing through her skin. Baekhyun flinched seeing a rod piercing through her side.

"What happened?" Asked Kyungsoo to the paramedics. "He was driving drunk and the truck slipped. He was delivering rods to a construction site," the man answered.

"We need to remove this as fast as we could," said Baekhyun who was checking up on the pregnant woman. Suddenly a hand grabbed his, and the startled male turned to the lady.

"Please save my baby, please!"

"She needs to be operated on now, her pulse keeps dropping," said the blond and called his friend telling them to prepare the OR.

"Can you do this alone, Baek? Should we wait for Minseok?"

Baekhyun shook his head at Kyungsoo, "She's looslosing much blood, we need to get started soon. We can't wait, Hyung. And trust me, I'm alright."

Three hours passed and Kyungsoo was done with his surgery. "Any word from Baek?" He asked Jongdae who was standing in front of the OR where the red light was glowing brightly.

Jongdae shook his head, "Minseok came back and he too went in but so far no news about it." Kyungsoo and Jongdae  oth both very well how Baekhyun's head would be occupied but they never once lost trust in him.

They were worried that if something goes wrong he would be the one blamed considering the whole situation around him.

_________

Meanwhile, as they got into chit-chats, Chanyeol's phone buzzed. He attended the call seeing his mom's picture pop up.

"Hey M--

"Woah breathe, Mom."

Seeing Chanyeol stand up as he paled, the trio stared at him with narrowed eyes.

"Baekhyun's missing."

The other three widened their eyes and paid for their meal before walking out. Only to stop when Jongin held Chanyeol and showed him a text from Kyungsoo. 

"He's at the hospital, Yeol." Jongin showed him the text and the raven head visibly relaxed seeing that. The four hopped in their cars before going to the hospital.

_________

Kyungsoo stood up when a man rushed up to them out of breath. "Can I help you? We're you involved in the acc--"

The man put up his hand stopping him, "My wife, she was pregnant. Where is she? I searched through the ER but I couldn't find her."

"You're the husband?" The man frantically nodded. "Your wife is in surgery right now, you can wait here," said the doctor and made him sit while the nurse fetched him some water.

"She'll be okay, right?" Kyungsoo sighed and the man stood up holding the other by his collar. Oops, wrong move.

The owl-eyed male pushed him onto his knees and put him in a headlock.

"No one, I repeat, no one touches me. Your wife was serious, and she's in the hands of the two of the best doctors we have, so shut the fuck up and sit here or I'll have you dragged out of here."

The man nodded as he fell back on his seat rubbing his neck.

When the light finally went off, stepped out Baekhyun and Minseok with bloody scrubs and their looks casted down. "How's my wife?" The man stood up. The doctor felt a thousand swords pierce his heart as he looked at the hopeful smile on the other's face.

Minseok stepped forward but the other stopped him, "I'm sorry but we couldn't save them. We tried our best. I'm sorry for your loss, Sir."

He laughed and patted Baekhyun's shoulder, "You have a good sense of humor doc." The blond male gulped as he averted his eyes to the floor.

"I'm really sorry."

"No don't apologize, I know they're still here. How are they?"

Baekhyun broke into tears before apologizing again. Suddenly the man held his shoulders in a tight grip and shook him, "What about our baby?"

"The baby was already dead, Sir. We couldn't save hi--" He stopped mid-sentence when a hand slapped him across his face. Fortunately, Minseok was there to hold him from falling.

"You're the doctor with the affair, right?" Baekhyun widened his eyes. "I know you're not in your right mind and that's why you messed it up and let them die in there." The man accused him.

"Please watch your words, Sir," said Minseok and stepped forward. "Dr. Park did his best in there. And I assure you we did everything we could."

"Then why are they are not alive?"

Everyone at the hospital had gathered around them, whispering and mumbling.

"I know you lost them because of your poor mental state, you whor--"

A fist had him flying to the ground, "Don't talk shit, Kim Minhyeok, you asshole." Baekhyun could swear that he had never felt more relieved to see his husband ever before.

The gang of four stood in front of Baekhyun like walls as they glared at the man in front of them.

"Who would let their pregnant partner out of their sight so carelessly? Isn't it your fault to begin with?" Chanyeol roared at the man who stood up.

He gave him a humohumourlessckle and glared at him, "Park Chanyeol. You made him do this right? You made him kill my family as a revenge, right?"

Chanyeol scoffed at the accusation. Minhyeok was an investor of the Park's but had tried to mess with their business and take it off their hands. Chanyeol and the three had held so much hatred for him in the past, but as time went by, they had forgotten his mere existence.

"Excuse me," said Baekhyun and went to stand beside his husband, "Even if he had asked me something like that, I would not have done it. I'm a doctor and saving lives is my job, Mr. Kim."

"I'll have my revenge, Chanyeol," said Minhyeok completely having ignored Baekhyun's words, "I'll avenge my family's death and destroy everything you hold dear."

"We'd love to see you try, Minhyeok." Yifan snickered at him. Before he could reply something the other three glared at him as the security dragged him away.

Once he was gone another voice had Baekhyun mentally groaning, "Byun, my office. Now."

'It's Park, you asshole' thought Chanyeol as he followed his husband to the office.

On reaching the office, the young doctor sat at the provided chair and the elder scoffed, "I don't remember telling you to sit."

Baekhyun rolled his eyes and stood up only to be pushed back to the chair by his husband, "I don't see a problem with him sitting," the raven head tilted his head looking at the elder with intimidating eyes, "do you?"

The Chief was quick to shake his head as he too sat on his chair.

Taking a deep breath he started, "What were you thinking? Why didn't you wait for Minseok?"

"She was dying, I had to do something!"

"You should have waited!"

"If I had waited then she would have been dead without having given a chance to fight," he seethed at him and the elder glared at him. "Do you see her being alive now? Because, I, sure as hell, don't, Byun. "

"Park." Chanyeol glared at him and the elder nodded.

"At least, I tried to save her!"

The Chief had his hands in the air to slap the other, "I wouldn't do that if I were you, so be careful." He halted at Chanyeol's deep and calm yet intimidating voice and nodded.

"So what are you gonna do to him for trying to save a dying patient?"

The chief hesitated and Chanyeol slammed his hand on the desk, "I asked you a fucking question." He cleared his throat, "Usually, we would suspend the personnel for not going by the guidelines." 

"Great then, he needs a maternity leave anyway."

Baekhyun shook his head, "No, I can't leave." Chanyeol took his hand and dragged him to his car despite his pleas to let go. "What are you doing? I don't want to stay at home," he protested and Chanyeol scoffed. 

"I don't want you to work under an asshole."

"Why do you care? Did I tell you to? I don't need your help, Chanyeol."

He tried to walk back in only to be stopped by Jongdae and Minseok. "I think this is the right decision too, Baek. He'll probably be gone next year, until then just stay home and take care of yourself and your little one," said Minseok and the younger shook his head. 

Baekhyun, more than anyone knew that he could definitely take some time off but he did not want to. He still felt guilty about what he did to Chanyeol and he had made up his mind that the elder did not like to be around him after the unpleasant evening.

Minseok enveloped him in a hug while Jongdae pulled Chanyeol away from the place, "You do know you're the reason he doesn't want to stay home, right?" 

The raven head scoffed at the nurse who threatened to kick him where it hurts unless he shut up. "Being a doctor is the only thing Baekhyun loves and you're taking it away from him. I agree he needs a break but can't you make up with him already? He's been killing himself over the mistake that night, Chanyeol.

You too did something stupid now he did too, can't you just let this go and start anew? With your kid on the way, won't it be better if you two don't end up fighting over his or her custody?

He even proved he didn't do anything, for God's sake. What more do you need? Do you want to put him through a polygraph test?"

"Is that it?" Jongdae could feel his face redden with anger. He clenched his fists before gripping on the raven strands and pulled him to be the same level as him while Chanyeol almost cried from his roots getting pulled, "You think I'm joking 'cause I've got time to spare, you jerk?"

"I'll tell you this again," he made the raven head face him, "you two make up or let him kill himself with guilt and don't care if the baby dies, alright? And I'll remind you again, stress is not something he needs right now." Chanyeol held his head as soon as the nurse let go. 

"Don't test me again," the raven head was quick to nod and walked back to his car massaging his scalp .

Meanwhile, Minseok patted the younger's back letting him cry on his shoulder, "He doesn't even wanna stay with me, how can I stay there then?"

"I was to be blamed too, Baek. Why didn't you tell the Chief?" Baekhyun pulled away wiping his tears, "I didn't wanna get you into trouble. And I was the one who didn't wait."

"If you had waited, she would've died a very painful death, Baek. You saved her from that."

He stroked his hair, "Don't worry about Chanyeol. He'll come around sooner or later 'cause you two are a little too whipped for each other."

Turning to his side, Minseok caught a glance of the other two coming back. Pulling away from his young friend, he wiped his tears pinched his cheeks.

"Smile more, Baek."

The younger nodded with a chuckle leaving his lips. "Hey, Senior Marshmallow," came Jongin's voice as he, Sehun and Yifan approached them.

"Hey," Baekhyun greeted him back with a small smile and the dancer pulled him for a warm hug with a grin. When they pulled away, Yifan stood in front of him, scratching his nape.

"I'm sorry," he started and looked at the blond, "I took it a little too far."

"A little? You better pray you never end up at this hospital unconscious. 'Cause if you do, you'll be waking up without a kidney, Mr. Wu."

Everyone burst out laughing while Yifan visibly gulped looking at the younger's cunning smile.

"We need to go somewhere," said Chanyeol and took Baekhyun's hand and others waved them goodbye watching them drive away.

Chanyeol and Baekhyun drove in silence except for the radio which was blaring to avoid the deafening silence. Baekhyun had already dozed off on the seat while the other peeked at him every now and then.

The doctor woke up when he felt the other shake him awake. Squinting his eyes, he opened the door and the raven head helped him out.

It slowly hit the younger that they were at Chanyeol's happy place. As he turned to look in front of him, a gasp left his lips as he stared at the sight of the sun slowly going down the horizon as the sky danced with different shades of orange and yellow with hints of purple.

"That's so..."

"Beautiful, right?" Chanyeol stood beside him and leaned on the hood of the car, the younger mirroring it. "Like you," whispered the raven head and Baekhyun's face flustered at that.

"Why did you go to the hospital today?" Chanyeol said after a while of silence between them. The younger looked at his feet as tears wet his cheeks.

"I didn't want to be home knowing you still hate me" the doctor bit his lip as tears fell on his shirt.

Chanyeol lifted his face before kissing off the tears, "Why would I ever hate you, Baek?"

"But you did not even look at me when we came from the bar and I--"

The raven head pressed a quick peck to his husband's lips, "I would never ever hate you, Park Baekhyun. And I wasn't angry with you, I was angry at myself."

Baekhyun narrowed his brows and tilted his head at the elder.

"When I saw those pics, yeah, I was angry but I knew there should be a reason behind it. But too blinded by anger at Yifan, I did not ask your side and I said some real bad stuff."

The young doctor watched his eyes twinkle with the unshed tears under the sun sunlight, "I didn't know what to tell you and I just could not talk to you as if I said nothing, baby. I tried to meet you, but I couldn't get out of my car. I just didn't know how to face you and apologize."

Baekhyun hugged his husband burying his head in his broad chest while the elder buried his face in blond locks.

"You didn't have to apologize, Yeol. You just had to hold me and kiss me, my knight," whispered Baekhyun and Chanyeol leaned down to kiss him again.

This time the kiss was slow and passionate, full of love as tears dampened their face.

The couple pulled away and sat on a log, the younger leaning on the elder's shoulder. "About Yifan," started Chanyeol and Baekhyun chuckled.

"Mom told me, it's alright. If he pulls something like this again, I'll harvest his organs since I have a lot of time in my hands now."

Chanyeol laughed at his husband before pecking his cheek, "I missed you, baby."

"Nah, that can't be. I missed you more." Baekhyun declared before leaning on the other's chest. "Nope, I def--"

The doctor glared at his husband, "There's no way you could've missed me more, so dont debate on it. Since both I and Marshmallow missed you, I missed you more. You get it? Since Marshmallow's inside me, everything doubles."

Chnayeol giggled before pulling him to his chest, "I missed my witty babies."

"Yeah, I'm a genius, I know."

________

When they reached home, something unexpected happened that had Chanyeol laughing. Baekhyun grimaced whining as Minyoung pulled on his ear.

"Why would you sneak out like that, Park Baekhyun?" Minyoung scolded the younger who looked down and whined like a little puppy.

"Nope, don't give me those eyes," said the lady with hands on hips, "You're grounded."

Baekhyun glared at Chanyeol who seemed to be quite enjoying everything happening. "Grounded?" Minyoung nodded at the doctor.

Chanyeol stood up, "You don't have to ground him, Mom. He was granted leave, anyways."

Minyoung smiled at that, "That's great then. Let's go for shopping tomorrow, then. We need to get stuff for little marshmallow and everything."

Jaehwan and Chanyeol exchanged glances before turning to the lady.

"Let them go together, honey. They need time for themselves." Jaehwan cautiously voiced out and the lady nodded her head when she thought about it.

__________

Dinner was over and the young couple were cuddled up under the blankets with the younger's head on his husband's naked chest.

"Ugh, I missed your cologne more than anything." Chanyeol chuckled holding him closer if possible.

"Mom taught me how to sew today. I tried it once but I pricked my fingers a lot so I gave up on it," said the younger with a light chuckle and the raven head took the younger's fingers to his lips and kissed them.

"What are you doing?"

"Kissing your booboo away." Baekhyun laughed while the other continued.

"How 'bout I show you how to do it?"

Seeing Chanyeol nod, the younger left the bed to fetch the materials while the elder sat up leaning back on the headboard.

Baekhyun handed him a needle and a piece of cloth and taught his husband just like Minyoung had in the morning.

After multiple attempts, Chanyeol kept down the needle on the nightstand with a frustrated groan. It had been two hours and his husband was fast asleep with his head resting on his lap.

Carefully moving his head to the pillow and tucking him in, the elder moved to the couch with the needle and the onesie, "Park Chanyeol never gives up." He repeated to himself.

The next morning Baekhyun woke up to a cold bed. The younger sat up and looked around the room until his eyes fell on a certain giant on the couch.

Baekhyun chuckled when he walked closer to him. The raven locks stood messing on his head as he slept with soft snores escaping his parted lips.

What made him smile more was the pile of clothes around him, tiny clothes, to be exact. He took one and giggled, "He actually mastered it overnight."

The doctor picked another which had numbers sued on it. 614, their anniversary. He held it over his tummy smiling, "Daddy's cute, right?"
