It had been a week and Baekhyun was finally allowed to leave the hospital. Minseok and Jongdae giggled at the excited Baekhyun who was helping Chanyeol pack up everything getting ready to go home.

"As I said, rest up more and try not to walk around a lot, alright?" Baekhyun frantically nodded and hugged his two friends, "Make sure to come visit, sometime!" The doctor and the nurse nodded waving their friend goodbye.

Baekhyun held Chanyeol's arm as he happily hopped out of the hospital.

The younger almost squealed when Chanyeol scooped him up in his arms once they exited the elevator, "Put me down," he squealed slapping the elder's chest. "Remember what Minseok said?"

"He told me not to walk around much!" he narrowed his eyes at his husband, "Much! He said much. Nothing's gonna happen from walking from here to our door!"

Chanyeol shook his head with a smile, "I'll be your driver till your leg heals."

Baekhyun smirked tracing his finger down the other's chest, "So, do I get to ride you?" The raven head's ears reddened and cleared his throat, "Not like I'd say no to that."

He giggled as Chanyeol smooched his cheeks before swiping the card entering the penthouse.

Chanyeol lowered him on the couch and put away the bag on his shoulder. "I never realised hospital beds were this uncomfortable," said the doctor and giggled at his statement. "Yeah, no shit," Chanyeol shook his head heading into the kitchen.

Baekhyun sat back on the couch and sighed as he looked around staring into nothing. The elder walked in with two glasses of lemon tea on a tray. Setting it down, he cupped Baekhyun's cheek snapping him back from his thoughts, "Are you okay? You look pale, baby."

The younger stared at his husband before shaking his head, "Nothing. I'm alright, just thinking." The raven head handed him the glass before sitting beside him, "About?"

"Huh?"

"See? You're spacing out again, what's wrong?"

Baekhyun flashed a soft smile before shaking his head. He averted his eyes to watch on his husband's wrist, "It suits you well." Chanyeol knew the younger was only trying to avoid the topic and he decided not to push further.

The elder showed off the valuable piece on his wrist and smiled at his husband, "You chose well, it does look good! I really like it!"

Chanyeol turned to his husband, "Right after I tried it on, I wanted to show you how much it looked good on me."

Suddenly the air grew a little cold around them and the elder quickly shut up before internally cursing himself. Baekhyun gently smiled and the other returned it, "Thank you for the gift, baby." He finished with a kiss on his forehead.

Baekhyun giggled before leaning on his husband's chest, "By the way," he started and the elder hummed, "Is my debt gone?" He looked up at the CEO who kissed the crown of his head with a giggle.

"Your debt was all gone when you woke up, you little vixen."

"I'm your little vixen."

"Yes, you are mine and mine only, my little vixen," he held his chin looking at the beautiful hazel orbs which made him fall in love harder every time he looked into them. "I love you, Baek!"

"I love you more, my sweet giant!"

The couple shared a soft passionate kiss before pulling away and leaning back on the couch.

"Luhan suggested something fun for me," said Baekhyun and took a sip of his tea, "I really want to do it."

Chanyeol nodded, "What is it?" The younger turned to his husband, "Maternity photoshoot!"

"Not a lot since I don't like taking pictures. Just a few, what do you think?"

The elder nodded, "If you're comfortable, then I'll find a good photographer and fix a date for us." Baekhyun smiled with a nod before comfortably leaning on his chest. They enjoyed comfortable silence until their friends showed up.

"Congrats on coming home, tiny guy!"

Baekhyun glared at Jongin who laughed at him before handing him the bouquet of roses. Behind him walked in Sehun, Luhan, Junmyeon, Zitao and Yifan with Junjie in his arms. "Aren't you guys supposed to be in your workplaces right now?" the youngest scoffed.

"Oh, shush," Yifan playfully kissed his cheek, "We are the bosses and it's not like you come home from the hospital every day."

"Yifan, in case you forgot," Sehun turned to face Yifan with a comical look, "He worked in a hospital so he actually came home from the hospital almost every day." Everyone laughed at Sehun's witty response while Yifan snorted and made themselves comfortable.

"I got you a present!" Junmyeon smiled at the doctor and placed the box wrapped with a golden ribbon atop on his lap, "I could not come visit you at the hospital since I was in Japan for business. Hope this makes up."

"You did not have to, Hyung," said the youngest before opening the box. "Gummy worms!" he squealed looking at the jelly treat inside the box. "That's why you asked me about his cravings," mumbled Chanyeol before nodding to himself.

Baekhyun pulled on Chanyeol's ears, "He never bought them for me. Such a meanie!"

"Minseok told you to limit your junk foods and you were the one who cried about gaining a little weight and told me to make you stop eating sugars, remember?"

The doctor sheepishly smiled before letting go of his husband's red ear and pecked it.

When the others were talking about business, Zitao, Luhan, Baekhyun and Junmyeon were in the bedroom. Junjie was on the bed quietly playing with his plushie and laughing every time Baekhyun pretended to steal it.

The three were helping Baekhyun fold the tiny clothes they had bought from their last visit to the mall. "Oh, my God!" Luhan squealed holding up the tiny white romper in his hands, "How can something be so tiny?"

"Are you sure these are gonna fit?" Junmyeon asked the doctor who confidently nodded, "I've seen many babies, so I'm sure these will fit!"

"If it's your baby alone," Zitao laughed, "If you have not noticed, your husband ain't tiny like you, sweetie!" Luhan and Junmyeon high-fived each other while Baekhyun puffed his cheeks, "I should ask Mom later, then. If Chanyeol was tiny or a giant."

"Yes, you should do that!"

"Oh, by the way," the deer-like male turned to the younger, "Are you guys gonna do the photoshoot?"

"Photoshoot?"

Baekhyun nodded, "Chanyeol and I agreed to do a maternity photoshoot". The eldest cooed at the youngest whose eyes disappeared to crescents as he smiled, "That's cute!"

After a couple of hours, the gang decided to leave and give the couple some alone time.

"They're always alone, why can't we stay here longer?" Jongin whined. Junmyeon laughed as he dragged him out, "Take care, Baek! Oh, and if Chanyeol doesn't let you eat anything, let me know and I'll get it for you," he winked and the doctor nodded with a laugh.

But Sehun was yet to leave with the other and Baekhyun narrowed his eyes, "Why are you still here?"

"Want me to leave so you two can dirty the sheets?" The elder snickered while the younger smirked, "We were actually thinking of dirtying the couch, you know?"

Sehun grimaced and scrunched his face, "You two are gross!"

"Yeah," said Chanyeol walking out the kitchen and draped an arm around his husband's shoulder, "We are really gross!"

"Why is he still here, Yeol?" Chanyeol simply smiled and led his husband to sit on the couch, "You trust me, right?"

"What? I mean, yeah but why?"

"Sehun," the brunet nodded at his cousin and walked out the door. A few minutes passed and Baekhyun watched Sehun enter but this time with someone else.

He stood up glaring at his husband, "What the hell is she doing here, Chanyeol?" Chanyeol held his hand intertwining their fingers, "Come on, love. Just hear her out, please? I will not force you to make up with her but I thought you should at least get some closure from her, baby."

"I do not wish to hear anything she has to say," he glared at the lady, "I want nothing to do with her."

"Did you not tell me you wanted to know how she was doing, if she missed you and if she's happy?" Sehun asked the short male who went silent and stared at the floor. "She just wanted to talk, Baek. Just hear her out."

"Then you stay right here, near me," he looked up at his husband, "will you?" Chanyeol pecked his cheeks before nodding.

Nayeon thanked Sehun and Chanyeol before sitting across the couple while the brunet went to the kitchen to give the family more privacy.

"Baekhyun- ah," the lady began, "How are you?" Baekhyun turned away but his husband could see the tears gather in his eyes, "Good." he uttered with a cracked voice. "I'm sorry, Baekhyun-ah," Nayeon looked at her lap as the tears wet her creme pants.

"I should not have thrown you away like that. I missed you every day, baby. I did not know if you would want to meet me--"

"Of course, I did not! To you, Dad was a monster but to me, you both were no different. He abandoned me to enjoy and you threw me away for a guy. Why in the world would I want to meet you?" Baekhyun gritted out, his chest heaving up and down as he glared at the woman.

"There were days when I needed to talk to you so bad. Wanted to just talk to you and hear your voice but you left me, all alone! I had no one! What did you think? That Dad's family or yours would welcome me with open arms?" A scoff left his lips and he harshly wiped away his tears while Chanyeol stroked his back calming him.

"Taehyung's mom came to know about me and helped me out as much as she could. I had no one to even take a picture of me during graduation, you know? The other kids were enjoying themselves with their families while I hid in the bathroom crying. 'Cause I was the 'orphan whose parents hated him'!"

"Calm down, Baek," whispered Chanyeol kissing his ears. "You followed up on the rumours about me but never once thought of finding me? Never thought of checking how I was holding up?"

Nayeon fiddled with her fingers wondering how to respond to that and looked down, "Answer me! Isn't that what you came for?"

Meanwhile, Sehun peeked out and signalled Chanyeol to come. Though Baekhyun initially did not let go of his hand, after a few pecks he let him go.

"I asked Yifan to check up on her husband and I think your Mom was right," mumbled the brunet and handed his phone to his cousin. "Mr. Kim has a huge debt and has been laying low to escape the loan sharks. I think when he heard about Baek, he must have sent Nayeon here."

Chanyeol looked up clenching his fists as he read about the man on the phone. Sehun patted his shoulder, "Don't beat yourself up, at least Baek got his closure."

The raven head sighed before nodding. He went over and called Nayeon to join them in the kitchen before leading Baekhyun to the bedroom, "It's enough, Baek. Mom was right, I don't think her intentions are good, baby."

Baekhyun said nothing as he nodded and laid down for a quick nap.

Chanyeol jogged down before joining the two in the kitchen. "How dare you!" he scowled at her and Nayeon widened her eyes, "What do you mean?"

"You approached my husband and put up an act for money?" Nayeon lips opened and closed no words leaving her lips, "I don't understand."

Sehun held off Chanyeol from raising his hands at her and showed his phone, "Your husband is someone wanted by the loan sharks and you suddenly wanted to meet Baek but did not when you heard about those rumours."

The brunet leaned down with a smug smirk playing on his lips, "Is your timing not too coincidental?"

Nayeon tried to defend herself while the two cousins watched her with a glare. Chanyeol raised her hand stopping her, "You're pathetic. Trying to save an asshole with the help of your son who you threw away. I should not have trusted you without proof."

"You came back to me for money?"

The three turned to look at Baekhyun standing near the door frame with glassy eyes, "Tell me, mom. Is that why you're coming to me after I got married? No, wait, when your husband sent you."

Baekhyun wiped the tear which fell down his eye, "He had to send you for money? You did not have the heart to come see me even when I was in a coma?"

Chanyeol rushed to his husband and held his shoulders, "You're the worst parent. I swear I'll never be the parent to my baby like you were to me." He neared the woman and stared at her with pure hatred, "I hate you and I wish you have the most miserable life, Nayeon!"

"Nayeon? You little sh--" her raised hand was stopped midway by Chanyeol who caught it in a tight grip glaring at the woman. "Get out and don't ever come back near us!" the raven head roared out.

"I fed you and sent you to school, you ungrateful thing. Pay me!" The lady hollered at her son.

The blond loosened from Chanyeol's hold before walking up to the bedroom. Coming back, he had his wallet tightly clutched in his hands. "You need money, right?" the younger threw the cash at her before stomping back up to the room.

Nayeon shamelessly collected the cash before stuffing it into her pocket and leaving the house.

As soon as she left, Sehun turned to Chanyeol, "Baek must be broken and we kinda worsened it." Chanyeol sighed at that before ruffling up his hair, "Go talk to him, I'm leaving."

Chanyeol closed the door as Sehun left and walked up to the bedroom.

His heart clenched seeing the tears cascading down his husband's eyes as he wiped them away with the tissue. Chanyeol silently backed out to get his guitar from his office.

Baekhyun looked up only when he felt the bed dip near him. "I'm sorry, pup. I did not know she had such intentions," Chanyeol mumbled and pecked on his husband's forehead letting his lips linger there for a while. 

"I feel so pathetic, Yeol," said Baekhyun with tears escaping his eyes, "I actually believed for a moment that I could forget everything that happened and make up with her. God, I feel stupid."

Chanyeol hugged the other's shoulder and pecked his soft cheeks. After a few minutes of crying his heart out, the younger pulled away and looked at the guitar, "You play?" The elder flashed a proud grin and took up the instrument, "Not just guitar, keys and drums too."

Baekhyun smiled and wiped his tears. "I'll be your jukebox for now," said the elder and his husband shook his head at his silly husband. "So what do I pay you with?"

"Kisses. A song for a kiss." He winked at his husband. Baekhyun chuckled before leaning up to peck the other's cheek. 

As promised, Chanyeol strummed his guitar. 

'Cause, you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars...

'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars 

I think I see you....'

By the time he was done, Baekhyun was asleep on his shoulder soft snores leaving his pouty lips. Chanyeol pressed a kiss to the crown of his head before gently tucking his husband under the sheets. 

Later, Baekhyun had woke up when he heard a very familiar voice from downstairs. He jumped up to his feet only to fall back on the bed holding his head. He groaned before sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for the dizziness to go away. 

Walking down the stairs, he almost squealed at Minyoung on the couch, "Mom!" The lady looked up with the most beautiful smile before standing up to hug the younger, "Oh, baby. I'm so glad you're alright now."

"Why didn't you wake me up, Yeol?" Baekhyun turned to his husband. "I told him not to, sweetie. You look well-rested and I packed up dinner especially for you," Minyoung smiled at the younger and ruffled his hair. 

Baekhyun smiled while his husband snorted, "Have you ever packed dinner for me? Wow, I was adopted, right?" 

Jaehwan pulled on his son's ear, "You got my visuals and brain, how can you be adopted?"

"Excuse me!" Minyoung glared at her husband, "Visuals from you? He obviously got it from me. I have more visual than you, Jae."

Baekhyun and Chanyeol tried to stifle a laugh as the old couple bickered with each other. 

Chanyeol had already told his mom about what had happened with Nayeon and the lady only pulled on his ear but never reprimanded him knowing her son had no idea about the woman. The trio did not bring up Nayeon and Baekhyun was more than thankful for that.

"Mom?" the lady hummed taking a sip of her glass, "Was Yeol a big baby?"

Chanyeol widened his eyes while Minyoung and Jaehwan laughed with a nod. "Oh my God!" the younger dramatically gasped and pulled on Chanyeol's sleeve, "None of the clothes are gonna fit. We gotta buy new stuff."

The older couple burst out laughing. "It's alright, we can always use those clothes for the other children."

Baekhyun flustered and averted his eyes to his plate of fried rice while his husband ran his rough hands over his thighs. "No porn while eating, kids!" The raven head and his husband choked at Jaehwan's words and looked down at their plates quietly munching on the dinner. 

Later that night, the older couple left bidding the younger ones a good night. 

The night was silent with only the sound of crickets outside the window. Baekhyun was cuddled up into his husband's warm chest while the elder had his arm loosely draped over the bump. 

Chanyeol stirred awake when he felt the other moving around. Turning on the lamp beside him, he looked at the timepiece which showed 3:42 in glowing red light. Looking at his husband, he could see the sweaty forehead and his pale face. 

His words were muffled but the elder was able to make out 'don't' and 'let me go'.

Chanyeol shook him gently as he called out his name but the make only cried harder with eyes screwed shut. He grabbed his shoulders and shook him while calling out his name. Suddenly, he let out a loud scream before opening his horror-filled eyes. 

"Hey, it's me, baby," the elder muttered stroking his cheeks while the younger took some time to catch his breath and look around. "What happened, baby?" Baekhyun gulped down the glass of water before shaking his head. 

"Just a nightmare, Yeol." The younger responded. Chanyeol tucked him and pulled him close humming a soft melody. Slowly he drifted off to sleep while the younger was wide awake afraid to close his eyes.
