"We could just make it simple, this is soo much." Kongpob gasped as he looked around the yard.

"Come on Kong! Stop complaining and enjoy!" Aim bumped their shoulders making Kongpob chuckle.

"But seriously? This is a lot!" Kongpob couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with all the decorations and gifts their friends and family had set up.

"Let them be, baby." Arthit smiled, wrapping his hands around Kongpob's waist as he back hugged him.

Kongpob giggled, nodding his head. All of their family members and friends were present. Kongpob was surprised when Rome told them that they will conduct a baby shower for him and will announce the baby's gender that day when Kongpob had gone for his checkup. It didn't occur in his mind that he would want to know the gender of their baby, sure he had an inner voice telling him it was a girl but he didn't dwell upon it much. He just wished that the baby was healthy and irrespective of its gender he/she was perfectly fine.

And true to Rome's words, exactly after one week Arthit's friends planned for the baby shower and gender reveal party with Arthit's help and they invited everyone to Arthit's house. Arthit's parents and his brother's family came to their house two days prior and Kongpob really enjoyed the time he spends with them. Seeing both of the families catch up and mingle with eachother, he was very happy.

Their backyard was filled with blue and pink balloons, there were tables filled with sweets in blue and pink and many other drinks. Kongpob couldn't help but giggle seeing the children run around and play, it reminded him of the fact that one day their child will run around the house the same way. And this thought brought a warmth to his heart.

Not to mention those various kinds of gift boxes and packages placed on another corner on a table, Kongpob isn't sure what to expect from his friends knowing how much of a tease they're.

"Kong! Come sit here!" Rin and Achara dragged their son towards the single sofa they had arranged for Kongpob.

Kongpob didn't have any other choice than agree to whatever his two mothers were doing. They made him sit and gave him lots of sweets and drinks. Not to mention that his and Arthit's friends making him laugh with their childishness. They were more childish than the children present there.

Kongpob's friends even came up with a game to announce the baby's gender. They asked everyone to wear the clothes of either blue or pink colour according to the gender they think the baby is gonna be. And the team who's going to lose will face punishment.

Kongpob and Arthit were wearing pink t-shirts, Kongpob was somehow confident that it was going to be a baby girl and well, Arthit didn't wanna go against his fiancé so he joined team pink too.

They were really having the competition, their friends were soo confident with the choices they make. Especially Prem and Wad, Prem was team blue while Wad was team pink. Both of them was on the verge of declaring war.

"So, guys! Let's reveal the gender of the baby!" Rome shouted out, feeling all excited.

Kongpob glanced at Arthit who helped him stand up, they both shared a smile. They could feel their hearts beating fast for an unknown reason, they still couldn't believe that they have reached this far. It just feels like a dream.

"Kong! Arthit! Come down please!" Prem called out, two smoke grenades in his hands which he handed out to the couple.

Arthit and Kongpob walked to the middle of the yard, their friends and family around them. Dave, Bright and Wad had their children in their arms who were as excited, knowing that they are going to know if they're going to get a baby brother or sister, according to what their parents had told them. Everyone where high on their heels, with poppers in their hands which they would pop as the expecting parents pop the grenades.

"So, I'm the only one who knows what the baby's gender is. And I can say one thing, irrespective of their gender, he/she will be loved by all of us for sure. Especially when it's our dear Arthit and Kongpob's child." Rome smiled at the couple who smiled back warmly.

Kongpob looked down at his belly, caressing it he mentally kissed his baby inside him, saying how much he loved him/her.

"Team blue, move to the right! Team pink, move to the left!" Prae ordered making everyone laugh as they took their position.

Kongpob and Arthit were the only ones standing in the middle, but they had a black box on top of them hanging from a wooden pillar just like the ones both the teams had above them, just that their was smaller.

"I'm getting impatient!" Arthit whisper-yelled, making Kongpob laugh as he placed a kiss on his fiancé's lips.

"Me too P'Arthit! Let's find out whether our first child is a girl or boy," Kongpob winked at the elder playfully.

Arthit laughed, "I bet our guess would be right."

Kongpob giggled, "Poor Pa and mom would get the punishment then."

The two shared a silent laugh, David and Rin were soo adamant on the fact that it's gonna be a boy so Kongpob had even made a bet with them. Truth to be said, it's fun to be playful like that to your parents.

"I don't know what our friends have got as the punishment but I'm sure it's not anything simple," Arthit fake sympathised for the losers.

Kongpob giggled, nodding his head.

"Ok love birds! It's time now!" Tootah called out from the left side.

Kongpob blushed, he and Arthit positioned themselves when Rome called out for them to get ready.

The couple watched as Prem set the camera in the front, they were soo adamant about recording this memorable moment and who are Arthit and Kongpob to say no.

"N'Aim! Knott! Ready?!" Rome called out from Kongpob and Arthit's back. The doctor was standing with the string of the box above the couple's head behind them so he could pull it and let the content fall on them.

Knott stood on the right side while Aim stood on the left, with their respective coloured t-shirts, with the string of the boxes ready to to be pulled.

"On the countdown 5! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!"

Kongpob and Arthit blinked, wide smiles spread across their lips as screams of joy escaped when pink smoke covered the air.

Pink flowers fell upon them soon, Kongpob jumped up and down and hugged Arthit, crushing the elder in his arms.

"It's a girl!" Rome shouted, enjoying the atmosphere in which they were in.

Arthit swung Kongpob in his arms, tears of happiness falling from his eyes. He never thought he would be soo emotional when they'll get to know their baby's gender. He was just too happy, knowing they're waiting for their little princess to arrive into their lives.

"Thank you Kong, just...thank you," Arthit kissed Kongpob's neck, burying his face into the younger's shoulder.

Kongpob smiled, hugged the latter tighter. "We're going to have a little princess, P'Arthit. Our little princess."

Arthit nodded his head, letting out a chuckle through his tears of joy, "Yes Kong, yes."

"See I told you it's a girl!"

Arthit and Kongpob broke their hug when they heard Achara's teasing voice. They glanced at eachother looking at the scene that occurred before falling into a peal of laughter.

There, in the right corner, whoever thought it was a baby boy was washed with pink paint and snow spray sticking onto them. They looked soo horribly in mess, yet everyone was laughing out loud.

Kongpob leaned into Arthit's shoulder and laughed covering his mouth with one hand, his other hand on his belly.

Arthit looked down at his fiancé, smiling warmly as he took in the others features. The younger was glowing, even though the other had light shades of dark circles under his eyes due to tiredness and lack of sleep, the younger was glowing. The younger looked soo happy, the smile on his face was radiating throughout him. Kongpob's eyes looked soo small and almost invisible as the latter laugh out and smiled too wide.

Kongpob, in Arthit's eyes, looked ethereally beautiful.

Arthit placed a kiss on Kongpob's forehead as the younger was busy explaining how funny their friends looked with paint over them. Arthit thanked all the powers above for giving him this family that he never expected to receive. This was all he needs, the unconditional love that Kongpob gave him, the small family he and Kongpob made for themselves, is all that he needs.

Kongpob turned on the bed for the umpteenth time. He sighed, feeling sleepy but he couldn't sleep, with all the kicks he was getting from the little one inside and backaches the word 'sleep' was thrown out of his dictionary.

Kongpob stared at Arthit's face, the latter was sleeping soo peacefully, like a baby. And it made Kongpob smile, he knew the elder was really tired that day. Arthit was selected as one of the school coordinators so the latter has become busy for the past two months, today the elder also had a talk with Aaron about their company. Even though Arthit had resigned from his post from the company he still gave bits of advice to his brother when they had any issues.

Arthit was very tired at the end of the day, still, he cooked dinner for them, massaged Kongpob's foot and helped him take a bath when the younger was too tired to even stand because of backaches.

So Kongpob didn't want to wake Arthit up because of his movements. So he tried his best to endure the pain and not turn around now and then. But guess the little one inside wasn't letting him go so easily.

Even with the pregnancy pillow Arthit brought for him, he couldn't find an ideal position to sleep.

"Calm down baby girl, calm down," Kongpob whispered as he caressed his belly.

He sighed again when the baby kicked him. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down. He wanted to get up and take a walk, so he slowly removed the pregnancy pillow and pushed it down making it fall from the bed. He wasn't in the mood for placing it neatly in the right place, he had thrown his neat freak attitude out of the window already.

Making sure he didn't wake Arthit up, he slowly sat up, cursing under his breath as his back ached. Taking a deep breath he finally stood up in one go, balancing his large belly with his hand.

Kongpob turned around to check if Arthit had woken up. He sighed in relief when he found the latter was still fast asleep. He didn't want to walk out of the room since it might cause more noises and his fiance would wake up.

His P was already tried, he didn't want to add more into it.

Caressing his belly he started to walk around the room, the room was large enough for him to walk freely. Kongpob walked towards the balcony, he slowly slides the glass door, it didn't cause any noise, and he was thankful for that.

He took a seat on the loveseat swing at the edge of the balcony, the soft cold breeze brushing against his skin. He smiled softly as he caressed his belly, humming onto a song as he tried to calm the baby girl inside. He looked up at the starry sky, the night sky looked beautiful and clear, he could see the full moon.

The moon is just beautiful, like you. You love me like the moon, Kong. Like the moon unveils the beauty of the dark, you unveil the best of me, bringing the best form of ourselves. A love soo pure.

Kongpob chuckled remembering the words of his fiancé, colour creeping into his cheeks. Arthit had quoted it to him during a late-night conversation they had upon the night sky at the balcony when Kongpob wasn't able to sleep. It might seem cheesy but Kongpob knows Arthit meant those words and it always stays in his heart. Whenever he watches the moon, those words play in his head.

"Your Daddy is a treasure, you know?" Kongpob caressed his belly, the baby's movements have reduced by now and Kongpob was slowly relaxing, especially with the soft breeze hitting his face.

"He just makes me fall for him day by day, minute by minute. How can a man be soo amazing? We're lucky to have him in our life," Kongpob looked down at his belly and smiled.

"Talk about Daddy and you're already calm? Pff, you're a daddy's girl for sure," Kongpob pouted but giggled to himself when he felt a soft kick inside.

"Yeah, I know you're." Kongpob smiled.

He knows he might be looking like a walking zombie at the moment, even with all the movements inside and sleepless nights he still feels blessed. Even though he sometimes gets soo done with the summersaults the baby does inside, he cannot pass a day without getting panicked if the baby doesn't move.

With their little princess moving inside, it assures him that the baby is fine and that he has a baby growing inside him. He wouldn't have it any other way. He treasured all these moments, he never wants to replace this with anything.

And he can't wait to meet his little princess. He is getting nervous as well as excited as each day passes, the time is getting near and Rome had told him to be prepared, even though there is one more month left Rome warned them that things might not go as expected and that the baby might come out even a month before the said date.

"I can't wait to meet you, baby. Papa wants to hold you in my arms," Kongpob smiled, he looked at the sky, leaning on the swing as he swayed.

He closed his eyes slowly, a soft smile playing on his lips as he reminisced the time they got to know about their baby's gender. It was one of the happiest days in his life. One, he won the bet with the parents, second, he saw Arthit almost breaking down in happiness.

Along with those happy times, he even had many embarrassing stories. Their friends teasing him with his weird food cravings which he didn't care but thinking about it now he felt soo embarrassed. Above all, he remembered when he ranted out to Rome about Arthit not touching him ever since his belly had grown big, giving an excuse that he didn't want to pressure the baby even though the elder knows it's safe to have intimate moments.

Rome tried his best not to laugh watching how Kongpob was pouting in front of him with a beetroot red Arthit sitting beside the younger with his face buried in his palms.

"Ok, so the issue is that Arthit won't have sex with you?" Rome held his laugh when Arthit groaned.

"Yes! Exactly!" Kongpob threw his hands in the air.

"He's doesn't even let me do things! For the hundredth time! I'm pregnant! Not handicapped!" Kongpob puffed his cheeks, glaring at his fiancé.

Rome took a deep breath, holding his laughter in he turned towards Arthit. "What is this Arthit? Your partner wants to be intimate with you and you're not letting it? Seriously?"

"Rome!" Arthit's eyes widened, he's sure that his face resembles a tomato.

"What?" Rome innocently replied.

"See P'Rome! He always ignores this talk! He used to have sex with me during the first trimester and now he just stopped since my belly started to become big! And I'm not liking this."

"Kong, please, we'll talk about it somewhere else," Arthit tried to coax his lover.

Kongpob shook his head, "No! You always ignore me when I speak about it! This is the right place to talk!"

Kongpob raised an eyebrow when Arthit started glaring at him, he smirked when Arthit sighed and broke their eye contact.

"Ok! No couple fights here!" Rome knocked on his table getting the attention of the two.

Rome cleared his throat, "See Arthit, I know you're scared since Kongpob is pregnant. You might have this constant voice inside you telling you to be careful and not hurt Kong. Sex isn't prohibited during pregnancy Arthit."

"I reassure you that sex is perfectly safe for you guys since I have already given the green signal. Arthit, if you're afraid of the baby getting to feel your actions then no, the baby is completely oblivious to parental movements and completely impervious to the proceedings."

Arthit doesn't know how to feel with his best friend's husband giving them a 'sex is safe' talk. He glanced at Kongpob and he just wanted to laugh because the younger was completely flushed, his ears were red. Maybe Kongpob didn't expect such a long talk from Rome about this.

"And the baby is likely to be lulled to sleep due to the movements of lovemaking," Rome added.

Arthit and Kongpob had their eyes wide open. Sure Arthit had searched upon how safe making love with your partner during pregnancy was on Google but this was the first time he heard something like that.

"Really?" Kongpob gasped.

Rome laughed, nodding his head.

"So, don't be afraid. The pregnancy hormones make Kongpob in need to feel physical, he's craving for these moments. I'll only ask you to not go overboard with things, otherwise, everything is completely fine." Rome gave a friendly smile to the couple.

He had this talk with many of his patients, he had seen a lot of partners afraid of hurting their partner or the baby during pregnancy, so he was used to these talks.

"Thank you for the talk Rome, it helps." Arthit gave a smile.

Rome laughed, "I know you both are embarrassed, so I'm not keeping you guys here for long. Continue taking the vitamins and stop lifting heavy objects."

Kongpob just nodded, he was still flustered with all the talk. Even though he had blurted out about things, but being talked about it to you directly was a completely different side.

Kongpob shook his head, covering his face at the memory. It took him two days to come out of the memory of that embarrassing talk. Not to mention that they started to become more intimate with eachother after that.

Kongpob chuckled to himself, he never thought an entry of someone soo small and delicate in their life would change the way they lived and their feelings. They are over the moon each day, waiting with batted breaths for the arrival of their little princess. The love they hold for the little human being inside, even without seeing her in person, was making Kongpob feel soo overwhelmed and magical.

How can someone love someone else who they haven't met, without knowing who he/she is? But Kongpob got to know that it is possible. The way he and Arthit are loving their little princess, he knows it's possible.

"Kong."

Kongpob opened his eyes, covering his mouth when he yawned he looked around at the voice. He smiled softly when he saw Arthit kneeling in front of him.

"Didn't get sleep? Why didn't you wake me?" Arthit cupped Kongpob's cheeks, caressing the cold skin due to the chilly weather.

"You were really tired, I didn't want to wake you up," Kongpob placed his hand on Arthit's on his cheek and caressed over it. Feeling warm suddenly.

Arthit stood up and sat beside Kongpob on the swing, he had a blanket that he carried when he saw Kongpob outside when he woke up finding the space beside him empty.

Kongpob hugged the blanket around him as he leaned into Arthit's chest who pulled him closer.

"I'm never too tired for you or our little princess, Kong." Arthit kissed the younger.

"What happened this time? Is she giving you a hard time?" Arthit enquired. He had found Kongpob being sleepless for days, sometimes it's because he gets heartburns and is too uncomfortable to sleep, and other times it's because their little princess thinks it's the best time to play some football inside Papa's belly.

"She wasn't still, kept kicking for long. And I had backaches too." Kongpob sighed, feeling sleepy as he cocooned himself in the warmth of the elder.

Arthit caressed Kongpob's hair, "You wanna go inside, baby boy?"

Kongpob smiled, shaking his head he buried his face further into the elder's chest.

"I'm here, sleep now."

Arthit helped Kongpob to lay down, the swing was long and large enough for Kongpob to lay down comfortably. Arthit placed the pillows behind Kongpob's back, making sure he was comfortable.

Arthit smiled warmly as he watched Kongpob looking at the night sky as he laid on his lap. He leaned down and placed a kiss on Kongpob's forehead, he caressed the younger's belly softly as he looked up at the sky, singing one of Kongpob's favourite song for the younger to sleep.

Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the night's so long

'Cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy

Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you

Arthit smiled when he felt Kongpob turning to face him. A small smile playing on Kongpob's lips as he stared at Arthit, his eyes shining in the moonlight.

When the waves
Are flooding the shore and I can't
Find my way home anymore
That's when I, I
I look at you

When I look at you, I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone

Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you

Kongpob smiled, feeling butterflies with the way Arthit was singing. The low, soft melody of his voice making him feel at ease. The breeze brushing against his skin made him feel as if it's a lullaby. The last thing he knew before giving in to his sleep was a pair of lips on his soft, chilly ones.

When the waves
Are flooding the shore and I can't
Find my way home anymore
That's when I, I
I look at you

You appear just like a dream to me
Just like Kaleidoscope colours that
Cover me, all I need
Every breath that I breathe
Don't you know you're beautiful?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

When the waves
Are flooding the shore and I can't
Find my way home anymore
That's when I, I
I look at you
I look at you

You appear just like a dream
To me

Arthit smiled, closing his eyes as he leaned his head on the swing. Falling asleep with his pregnant lover in his arms.

****

Kongpob glanced at his mom who was in the kitchen. He clutched onto the frame of the glass door when he felt another contraction.

He wanted to shout and call his mom but he just couldn't find his voice. He cursed himself for going out to the backyard to take a walk.

He blinked when the contraction stopped, but he was sure it'll return any time soon.

"M-Mom," Kongpob cursed himself when his voice came out as a mere whisper.

He took a deep breath, balancing on the wall he tried to walk.

"Ah-hh," Kongpob clutched onto his stomach, feeling tears whelming up in the corner of his eyes as the contraction hit him again.

Kongpob looked around, trying to find something that could get his mom's attention. He tried to breathe in and out, controlling the pain he was feeling he took a few steps forward and knocked down all the flower vases that lined on the table near the showcase.

Kongpob screamed when a more painful contraction hit him, making him lean against the wall and slide down to sit, clutching his belly.

"Kong!"

The younger shut his eyes tight, letting the tears fall as he felt his mom's hands on his shoulder.

"It's time," Kongpob looked at his mom.

"Honey, take a deep breath. Relax. I'll call Dad soon." Kongpob could only nod at his mom's words.

"Mo-om, it hurts," Kongpob sobbed, letting out sounds of distress in between.

Rin caressed her son's forehead. She had already called her husband and asked to bring the car.

"Dad will come soon, we'll take you to the hospital, honey. Don't worry, everything will be fine. Shh...it's ok." Rin brought Kongpob's head to lay on her shoulder as he caressed Kongpob's belly, trying to soothe the pain.

Kongpob sniffled, his vision was blurry with the tears in his eyes. It was a relief when the contraction would stop in intervals, Rome had informed him on how he should differ the labour contractions with the Braxton contractions so he knew that he was in labour. The fact that the baby is one month early nagging his mind.

Kongpob didn't know what happened next, he just tried to hold his pain in, letting his tears fall as he felt the baby's kick inside him. He could hear his parents' soothing words but he couldn't focus on it at the moment.

The next thing he knew was him lying on the hospital bed, with the hospital gown on, many wires attached to him. He was just too tired.

"We'll have to wait till the dilation is complete. It might take a few hours. The baby's heartbeat is normal, everything is good. Nothing to worry about." Rome caressed Kongpob's hair as he explained to Rin and Kerkkrai.

It was possible for a hermaphrodite to give natural birth since they'll have the birth canal open up automatically under their genitals when they're 3 months pregnant. So natural birth was an option for the hermaphrodites.

"Don't worry, the baby is fine and you're gonna be fine too. You're strong Kongpob." Rome smiled at the younger, the younger mirrored his expression for a split second.

Kongpob was like his own little brother, all of them treasured him and he was happy that he was his doctor.

"P'Arthit," Kongpob whispered, his face crunching as the pain hits him.

"We have called him son, he'll arrive soon." Kerkkrai sat at the corner of the bed Kongpob laid, caressing his son's feet.

"Hmm," the younger let out a painful moan.

The baby's heartbeat echoed in the room and it somehow seemed to calm Kongpob down, knowing his baby was fine and that he was going to meet her soon was overwhelming him. The thought brought a smile to his lips.

"Baby!"

Kongpob opened his eyes, he smiled painfully when he saw Arthit rushing towards him, worry written over his face.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't there! How are you feeling?" Arthit caressed his fiancé's hair making Kongpob let out a content sigh.

"I-I'm feeling tired, the pain comes and goes. Baby is kicking too. My back hurts, legs feel numb." Kongpob took a deep breath, even speaking made him feel drained.

Arthit bit his lips, he placed a kiss on the younger's forehead. He massaged Kongpob's back, trying to help the younger as much as he could.

Arthit didn't know that things will turn out this way. They didn't even prepare the hospital bags but that can wait. Arthit was completely stunned when Kerkkrai called and told him that Kongpob was in labour pain. The baby is gonna arrive one month prior to the scheduled time, so it came as a surprise.

Arthit didn't think twice before informing other teachers to take over his classes before making his way to the hospital. He called Achara and David, informing them that the little princess might arrive anytime soon. They promised to reach the hospital as soon as possible.

"Are you excited P?" Kongpob smiled, his eyes closed as he took in the feeling of Arthit's hands on him.

Arthur smiled, "I'm very excited, Kong. I'm nervous too."

Kongpob gave a painful chuckle, "Don't worry, your Kong is strong."

Arthit laughed, planting a kiss on the younger's forehead when he heard the playful tone from him.

"Yeah, my baby boy is strong. You're doing great baby, I'm soo proud of you."

Kongpob nodded his head, changing his laying position to find a comfortable spot.

"Kong, we can go with an epidural if you want to," Rome suggested as he watched the younger swaying in Arthit's arms.

Kongpob couldn't lay down so the latter chose to stand up, and he found it comfortable when Arthit hugged him from the back and swayed them. It helped to reduce the pain.

"No, P'Rome. I'm fine, it's just 3cm more to dialate. I can manage it," Kongpob let out a sigh. He didn't want to go through the epidural, it's his first pregnancy, he want to feel every bit of it. He came this far, so he was sure he can handle it.

And if it was a serious case Rome would have stubbornly told him to have one but since the doctor gave him options he was sure nothing was wrong.

"Ok Kong, it's your call. We'll have to wait for a maximum of two hours. The baby is in the right position, hope she doesn't move." Rome gave a small smile to the younger when he gazed at him.

Kongpob let out a content sigh when Arthit lifted his belly, giving the full weight to Arthit's arms. The elder did it for him a few times before, giving Kongpob time to relax and a relief from the almost 10-15 pound belly weight.

"You're doing great Kong, I love you." Arthit kissed Kongpob's cheeks.

Kongpob smiled, leaning his head on Arthit's chest, closing his eyes as he let out steady breaths.

"I can't wait to meet her P'Arthit," Kongpob's soft, weak voice made Arthit's heart shatter.

"Me too love, I can't wait to hold her." Arthit kissed the other's forehead.

Arthit can only watch as Kongpob goes through the pain. He did all that he can to help the latter but he knows the younger is in a difficult situation. He just whispered sweet nothings into Kongpob's ears, swaying their body, helping him get hydrated in-between.

Kongpob's water already broke, so they were just waiting for the dilation to complete so that they can move Kongpob to the birth room.

Arthit caressed Kongpob's hair, he felt soo helpless seeing the younger like this. Being weak and enduring soo much pain. Now seeing his sleeping lover, he couldn't help but sigh. Even in his sleep, Kongpob had a painful expression on his face.

Kongpob was slipping in and out of sleep, and they were glad that the younger was getting some rest that way.

Arthit glanced at their parents who were seated at the corner of the room. Achara and David had arrived an hour before and talked to Kongpob, telling the younger that everything will be fine and that he's strong, that they're proud of him.

Arthit just felt like breaking down, seeing how tired the young looked, his heart ached with each painful grunts and moans that escaped Kongpob's lips. Achara and David had hugged him and soothed him, telling him he was really doing a great job by being there for his fiancé.

"I can't take it anymore P'Arthit," Kongpob whisper-yelled as the stretcher he was lying on was pushed into the birth room, his hand clutching onto Arthit's.

"I'm here baby, I know you can do this. I'm just beside you. Ok?" Arthit saw Kongpob nodding his head as he moved his face from side to side, trying to bear the pain.

Arthit watched Rome walk around the room with the nurses, instructing things to them while two nurses helped Kongpob to get comfortable on the bed.

Arthit felt himself shivering with the way Rome was getting serious, he doesn't know what to expect, Kongpob's painful grunts were to the only sound he could focus on at the moment.

"Kong, take a deep breath. Are you comfortable?" Rome asked after he positions himself in front of the younger's spread out legs.

"Yes, Dr," One of the nurses replied after she observed Kongpob nodding his head.

"Can you rate how the baby is kicking on the scale of 1-10?"

"9," Kongpob almost shouted back, he could feel how restless the baby was getting inside along with the contractions.

"Ok, Kong! It's your call! Push when the next contraction hits you," Rome smiled warmly at Arthit who looked at him worried.

Kongpob pressed himself against the pillow, he glanced at Arthit who just smiled at him and whispered sweet nothings into his ears.

Kongpob moaned in pain as he started pushing. He felt soo drained yet he didn't know where he got the energy to push from.

"Good Kong! You're doing really good! Yes...yes...just push harder." Rome's voice overpowered the noises in the room.

"Ahh!" Kongpob clutched onto Arthit's palm in his as he arched back, pushing harder.

Arthit gritted his teeth, the way how strong Kongpob's grip on his hand was, he's sure his fingers are turning numb. But that doesn't compare to anything of what Kongpob is going through so Arthit just stayed silent, caressing his lover's sweaty hair.

"Baby's head is out! One more push Kong!" Rome called out.

Kongpob stopped pushing, he couldn't do it, he felt like a failure. He felt as if he was going numb and the pain inside wasn't helping him.

"Kong, push!" Rome patted Kongpob's leg.

Arthit glanced at his tired lover, "Kong, baby boy, listen to me. You're doing soo great my love, just one more push, we'll see our little princess. Please love, for our baby, you're soo strong Kong."

Kongpob felt a kiss on his forehead, he nodded his head at the elder, he tried to push but the energy wasn't enough.

"Kong, if you don't push your daughter will feel breathless. You have to push, Kong. I know you can do it, come on Kong," Rome reminded the younger, giving a few taps on Kongpob's legs.

Kongpob glanced at Arthit who moved closer, almost hugging him. Kongpob took a deep breath, clutching onto Arthit's hand as hard as he can, taking all his energy he gave that one last push.

Arthit's head snapped towards Rome when he heard the beautiful, first cry of their daughter.

"Time of birth, 7:15 pm."

Tears whelmed up in Arthit's eyes as he looked back at his exhausted lover who had a small smile on his lips. The younger was panting, his face covered in sweat.

A nurse happily walked towards the couple, she placed the newborn baby on Kongpob's chest.

"My baby," Kongpob chocked on his tears, his shaky fingers caressed on the crying baby's cheeks.

"She-she is soo cute," Kongpob placed a kiss on the blood-stained forehead of the little one.

"Here you go Arthit, the best ribbon cutting you'll ever have my friend," Rome winked at Arthit as he passed the scissors.

Arthit chucked through his tears as he cut the umbilical cord with his shaky hand.

"P'Arthit, look, our daughter," Kongpob let his tears fall freely as he kept looking at the bundle of joy in his arms.

"She's soo beautiful, Kong," Arthit kissed on Kongpob's forehead as they watched the nurse take the baby and move her to a corner to clean her up.

Kongpob closed his eyes, his hand made its way to hold Arthit's. He felt soo tired, his eyes dropping involuntarily.

"I feel soo tired P," Kongpob mumbled.

"Baby? You ok?" Arthit panicked when Kongpob closed his eyes. There is expression of distress on the younger's face making Arthit shiver.

Rome immediately approached the couple as he watched the scene unfold in front of him.

"Arthit, stay back. Give him some oxygen," Rome calmly ordered the nurse who immediately placed an oxygen mask on Kongpob.

"Rom? What is going on?" Arthit clutched his fingers.

"It's nothing Arthit, Kongpob is just exhausted. Wait outside, we'll soon move him into a room once he wakes up."

Kongpob gulped, he opened his eyes slowly. Blinking when the light hit his eyes. Grunting he tried to move but he left uncomfortable in the lower region, his legs felt a little numb too.

"Good morning Kong."

The younger blinked his eyes, coming to his senses he found Rome smiling at him.

"P'R-Rome," Kongpob gulped.

Rome just smiled at him."Drink some water, Kong."

Kongpob nodded his head, Kongpob noticed that there was another nurse in the room when she helped Rome to lift the head of the bed he was lying on.

The younger drank the whole glass of water Rome gave him.

"How are you feeling, Nong?" Rome caressed his hair.

"I-I feel tired but much better. It's uncomfortable down there and I can't feel my legs," a pout formed on his lips.

Rome smiled, "It'll turn fine after a few days. Your husband almost sighed my grave because of the reason that his fiancé wasn't opening his eyes."

Kongpob blushed, smiling shyly when Rome mentioned Arthit.

"Did I sleep long?" Kongpob enquired, sensing how tensed Arthit sounded by Rome.

"You fell unconscious after the delivery yesterday, it's 10 in the morning now."

Kongpob nodded his head. He let Rome do some initial checkups to him before the elder told him that he will be moved to his room, which was more comfortable. Kongpob was still inside the birth room, with an IV injected into him.

"Are you excited to meet your baby girl?" Rome asked as he his bed was being pushed towards his room.

"I am." He smiled, he could remember the crying, red face in his arms before he fell unconscious. The baby's small fingers that kept touching his cheek and her chubby cheeks, he remembered everything. The first image of his daughter.

"She's in the NICU, your husband is there. We'll move her into your room after you settle in," Rome informed making Kongpob smile.

"Mom, dad," Kongpob gave a tired smile when he saw his parents in the room. After he was made comfortable in the room Rin and Kerkkai walked towards their son. His mom broke down in happy tears as she kissed her son's forehead.

"Mom, what is this? Don't cry," Kongpob pouted making Rin chuckle.

"Just happy tears, you have grown soo much my son. Already having a baby of your own."

Kerkkrai just smiled, hugging his wife as he caressed Kongpob's hair.

"Let her be, she's just too emotional." Kerkkrai teased his wife who hit his shoulder.

"Then who was the one who cried when he heard Kongpob gave birth?" Rin smirked at Kerkkrai who just rolled his eyes.

"You both are ideal for eachother," Kongpob laughed. Rin and Kerkkrai glanced at eachother and laughed along with their son.

"Kong!"

Kongpob stiffened, looking at the door he soon smiled seeing his breathless fiancé who was panting.

"Kong, baby," Arthit gulped, slowly walking towards the younger.

"Hey P'Arthit, missed me?"

Arthit rushed to his lover, sitting on the bedside he engulfed Kongpob in a tight hug.

"You brat! You scared me," Arthit sighed, he kissed Kongpob's cheek.

"I was just tired P," Kongpob smiled at the elder as he parted away from the hug. Taking the elder's hand in his, he caressed the back of his palm with his fingers.

"I know, but seeing you like that. I don't know, I just..." Arthit closed his eyes, taking deep breathes.

Kongpob smiled, he cupped Arthit's cheeks, making the elder look up at him.

"I love you."

Arthit smiled his dimples in display. "I love you too, baby boy."

Kongpob giggled. Completely forgetting that his parents were watching them.

The door to the room opened next, revealing Rome and a nurse walking inside, a bundle in her arms.

Kongpob looked at Arthit who smiled and nodded at him. He bit his lips as he watched the nurse walk closer to him, his heart melted when he heard small voices from the bundle in the nurse's arms.

"Congratulations Mr Suttilak, here's your baby girl," the nurse smiled as she placed the baby into Kongpob's arms.

Kongpob cooed internally as a pair of round black eyes stared back at him. His lips quivered, tears whelming up in his eyes as he softly caressed a finger over the soft cheeks.

"H-hey there, it's papa" Kongpob choked on his tears.

Arthit smiled, standing beside Kongpob, he circled his arm around his shoulder.

"Hello my little princess," Kongpob touched the baby's nose with his finger making the baby girl give a toothless smile.

Kongpob felt as if he was melting into a puddle, "She's soo tiny P'Arthit, oh my."

Arthit smiled, "Soo cute, look at her smile."

Kongpob nodded, sniffling. "She looks like you P'Arthit."

"Look at that dimple," Kongpob touched the baby's cheeks making her smile again, displaying the small dimple.

"Those eyes, button nose, chubby cheeks. She soo you, P'Arthit." Kongpob placed a kiss on his daughter's forehead.

Arthit glanced at Kongpob, adoration filling his eyes as he watched the younger talk to their baby. He just couldn't express how happy and overwhelmed he was, seeing Kongpob and their daughter bonding in front of him just made him soo happy.

"Thank you for giving me this family, Kong."

****

Kongpob rushed out of the kitchen when he heard the sounds of objects falling.

"Oh my!" Kongpob covered his mouth, a bright smile decorating his lips as he soon rushed towards the small figure in the middle of the living room.

"Adiya," Kongpob kneeled on the play mat, smiling widely at the little 1½-year-old.

Their little princess turned her small head towards her Papa's voice, a small toothy smile spreading across the tiny pink lips. Giggles echoed the room as she took her steps towards her Papa, gigglings increasing when she started to stumble along her way.

Kongpob chuckled, spreading his arms wide for the little one he laughed along with their little angel when she fell into his arms.

"Is papa's angel walking? Did you just take your first steps?" Kongpob felt his chest overwhelming with all kinds of feelings, shh... Kongpob, don't cry now, control.

"D-Dada," Adiya's small lips formed a pout as she cupped onto Kongpob's cheeks with her tiny palms.

Kongpob huffed, "I'm here with you, why do you need Dada? Not fair."

Adiya giggled, letting out an airy laugh seeing her Papa pout. Dimples gracing on either of her chubby pale cheeks.

"Naughty girl," Kongpob bumped their noses together making both of them giggle.

"My little princess doesn't want me now."

The two looked up to see Arthit standing near the stairs, fresh from showering, with his hands on his hip as he stared at them with his puppy eyes.

"Dada!" Adiya started to wiggle in Kongpob's hands, making grabby hands.

"She always wants you," Kongpob rolled his eyes.

"What can I say? I'm her favourite," Arthit winked at his husband.

Kongpob shook his head, chucking. He suddenly remembered what happened a few minutes ago, a wide smile graced his lips as he stopped Arthit from coming near to them, confusing the elder.

Kongpob then positioned their little princess towards Arthit on her tiny legs.

"Go to Dada, baby," Kongpob whispered, making sure that Adiya was steady on her legs, he slowly removed his hands from her hips.

Kongpob watched as Arthit'south fell open. The elder's lips quivered as he kneeled to Adiya's height, soft giggles and incoherent words slipping out of the little princess's lips as she stumble-walked towards her dada.

Kongpob was all ready with his phone as he recorded the scene.

"Come, come to dada," Arthit stretched his hands out. He moved forward when he found that Adiya was losing her balance, he caught the giggling child in his arms.

He stood up with Adiya in his arms, stretching out his hands he lifted their little princess, smiling wide as he heard the baby laughing.

Arthit bumped their noses together, "My princess is walking, dada is soo proud of you."

Kongpob stood up, smiling wide at the father and daughter. Pocketing his phone he walked towards them.

"Kong, she walked!" Arthit turned towards his husband, pulling the younger towards him by his waist.

"I was surprised when I saw her balancing on the couch and trying to walk," Kongpob leaned on Arthit's chest, smiling at Adiya who was grabbing onto Arthit's face and sucking the elder's cheeks.

"She's growing soo fast, I don't want her to." Arthit sighed, smiling softly at their little princess.

Kongpob chuckled, "She'll always be our little princess P, no matter how old she's."

Kongpob kissed Arthit's cheeks, he chuckled when Adiya looked at him and puffed her cheeks asking for the kiss he gave to her dada.

The past two years were hard for the new parents but they wouldn't trade it for any other. They had countless sleepless nights, tired days and lots of happy moments. At the end of the day, seeing baby Adiya inside the crib, with her small smile gracing on her cute, small lips as she sleeps, it was all worth it.

Adiya, just as Kongpob named her, ' The God's treasure'. Adiya was a real treasure to them. Their first baby, the first person who called them dad and papa.

After Adiya turned an year old Kongpob and Arthit finally got married. It was a small yet elegant wedding, Kongpob didn't want it to be fancy but then again Kerkkrai and Rin wanted it to be grand, it's their only son's wedding.

So they had booked a hotel for it, made arrangements, there weren't many guests. Just their parents and family members, their respective friends and their family along with other main members who they wanted to attend the ceremony with.

It was indeed a big day, a day filled with laughter, emotional tears and speeches, lots of teasings. A memorable day.

"Papa-papa," Adiya pushed Kongpob's face from Arthit's chest, glaring at him with her round black eyes.

"Seriously?" Kongpob dodged Adiya's hands and leaned on Arthit again, making Adiya scream, pushing Kongpob away.

"Dada!" Adiya held Arthit's face who was laughing and moved it away from Kongpob's direction.

"You naughty! P'Arthit is my husband before he became your dada! You can't take him away from me!" Kongpob pouted, hugging Arthit even tighter making Adiya cry.

"Dada! M-mie, dada m-mie," Adiya glared at Kongpob, her lips forming a large pout, her round eyes glistening with tears.

Kongpob facepalmed while Arthit was just laughing. The younger moved away from his husband and soon he saw the small toothy grin on his daughter's face, no more tears, only giggles echoing the room as she laid her small head on Arthit's chest, cozily snuggling to her dada.

Kongpob cooed at the cuteness of the little one, he chuckled as he watched Arthit sway and make funny noises to their daughter. He knows very well that their daughter was Daddy's princess, she wouldn't let anyone take that position. Even her first word was 'dada'. Their friends and family would tease whenever they see Adiya pushing her Papa away from her Dada.

Even though Kongpob sulked he enjoyed these moments. Just seeing his small family happy was all he needed.

"Don't sulk Kong, at the end of the day she only sleeps in your arms," Arthit made a kissy face to his husband who just shook his head, chucking.

That's right, even if Adiya spends the whole day with Arthit and try to push him away from Kongpob, at the end of the day their baby girl wouldn't sleep until she's in Kongpob's arm and being fed. Her Papa is the first person she checks for in the morning, she would cry if she doesn't see Kongpob around for more than ten minutes.

Just like Arthit was her superhero and protector, Kongpob was her personal heaven.

Kongpob couldn't ask for anything else, this small family was his safe place. The place where he could find his strength and be himself.

Arthit had always been there for him, from day one of his pregnancy to the very end and still supporting him.

Waking up in the morning with Arthit bringing their little princess to their bed, being showered with sloppy kisses and giggles to his face by their daughter are the best moments in his life. Playing with Adiya on their bed, both him and Arthit making her laugh, it was still the sweetest memories he had carved. And he knows many more are yet to come, paving their way into their life.

"Uh...Kong?"

The younger snapped out of his thoughts, he looked up to the elder when he heard Arthit's not soo confident voice.

"Didn't you put on her diaper?" Arthit raised gave a nervous smile.

Kongpob's brows furrowed, he looked down at his daughter. His eyes widened but soon erupted into a fit of laughter.

"Kong! I just came after showering!" Arthit bounced the baby in his arms who was now a crying mess.

"Aw baby, sorry!" Kongpob tried to control his laugh as he walked forward and took Adiya from Arthit's arm.

"Now I have to change!" Arthit face palmed, his shirt and tracksuit were covered with Adiya's pee.

Kongpob laughed, walked towards the baby's room. "You signed up for this when you became a dad P'Arthit! Enjoy!"

Arthit groaned at Kongpob's words. But chuckled soon when he saw Adiya giving him a giggle from over Kongpob's shoulder.

"You naughty little girl," Arthit laughed.
