Minho woke up confused.

He could swear he was with Jisung just now. What happened?

Looking around the room, he noticed Changbin and Jeongin sitting on the couch in the room. The two saw Minho looking at them and immediately ran to his side.

"Oh you're awake! Good. We were so worried.", Changbin said.

"Minnie, I miss you. Hug?", Jeongin asked.

Minho hugged the little.

"How long was I out?", he asked.

"A few hours."

"What?! A few hours?"

Changbin took a seat next to him.

"Don't worry, you're okay. The doctors gave you some medicine, and a breathing treatment."

Jeongin sat on Changbin's lap.

"Seungmin was crying. He say he scared. He thought you stay sleeping forever.", Jeongin said, moving his hands around.

Minho looked down.

"So he was the one who caught me."

"Yeah, he was terrified. Poor kid hasn't left Chan's side and it took him a while to stop crying."

"Now I feel bad."

"Don't. It isn't your fault you're sick."

"Yeah..."

Jeongin kept moving around and trying to get up, so Changbin let him down. The maknae proceeded to run around the side of the bed and climb in next to Minho.

"I wuv you! Give kisses!", he yelled.

"You're adorable. But...how come we haven't made the four of you sick?"

Changbin sat back in his chair.

"Maybe we're magic."

"We magic?", Jeongin asked.

"No, your appa is just dramatic.", Minho replied.

"Truth is, we all got tested and we didn't have it. So to be sure, the doctors gave us the new preventative medicine they have to make sure we aren't at risk."

"Lucky."

The door to the room opened and Felix entered. He stood by the door and smiled.

"Hi...someone wants to see you."

Minho tilted his head to the side before Seungmin came in, carrying a very little Jisung on his back.

"He went into babyspace shortly after you passed out.", Seungmin said.

Felix explained how the doctor gave them permission to let Jisung go home. They were going to run a few more tests on Chan and Hyunjin to make sure they would be safe to go home.

"They said to take a few weeks rest to fully recover. They gave prescriptions for you all.", Felix continued.

Seungmin had put Jisung next to Minho. The little was laughing at his caregiver who made silly faces.

"Oh to be covered on each side by two littles...and get infinite cuddles.", Felix said smiling.

Jisung bit Minho's shirt, making the older laugh. He patted the boy on the head. Jeongin held onto Minho tightly.

The six boys in the room spent a long time talking about what to do when they got back home. Since they weren't allowed to leave the house, especially after this, they had to come up with some form of entertainment.

Jeongin suggested more baking.

Jisung just made baby noises, which Minho interpreted as him wanting to play video games.

Changbin wanted to know how Minho could understand Jisung.

Seungmin and Felix were texting Chan, who was asking for updates. Felix would occasionally leave to go check on Hyunjin and then come back.

Over the next few hours, Jisung slept quietly on Minho. Jeongin tried his best not to sleep but ultimately failed. Minho felt comfortable enough to relax and doze off himself.

"Hey Seungmin.", Changbin said.

"What?"

"What if we play a prank?"

"I'm listening..."

Chan was sitting alone, lost in his own thoughts about any and everything.

The doctors had been in a few times to run some tests. They all came back good, so he was cleared to go home. All he had to do was wait for the discharge papers.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed with a text notification.

It was from Changbin.

"Huh? What is this..."

As he read the message, his eyes went wide.

He quickly pressed the call button.

"Hello?"

"Changbin, what's going on?"

"We went home."

"You said you went with Seungmin and Felix."

"Yep."

"Did you leave Minho with Jisung and Jeongin?"

"I thought you had them."

"You thought...I'm sorry what? Where are they?"

"Oops."

"Don't oops me rabbit boy, where are my babies?"

"Disrepectful. Anyways, not sure."

"Changbin you're gonna make me have a heart attack."

"Okay okay, it's a prank."

"I almost started crying, never do that again."

"We just wanted to lighten the mood. Why so sad? Want me to come cuddle you?"

"Maybe..."

"Good, because I'm outside your door. Also, I brought Jeongin with me. He's sleeping but I know he missed you. He's in a younger headspace and it's pretty cute."

The door opened and the pair came in.

Chan opened his arms and Changbin put the sleeping little down on him.

"Oh such a cutie pie...I love him so much."

"You're very sentimental today."

"Seungmin came in really upset after Minho's collapse. He said something that made me think."

"What was it?"

"He was worried we wouldn't make it. And the thought that something like that could happen so suddenly..."

He looked down at the boy in his arms.

"It makes me think about how much we've been through together. And how empty my heart would be..."

"Chan, no one is going anywhere. If you want, I can do a group video call right now so you can see everyone."

The leader agreed and Changbin called the group chat.

Everyone except Hyunjin answered, which Chan immediately noticed. He assumed the boy was just asleep and watched as the others just talked about their plans.

"I'm okay Chan, now that I have this baby boy next to me.", Minho said.

"Good. Good. Now let's get everyone healthy enough to go home and we can all leave together."

Everyone agreed.

Another video showed up on the call.

A nurse was holding the phone.

"Oh, hello everyone. He seems to be little right now and can't hold the phone."

They all made "awwww" noises when the nurse showed Hyunjin, still with his pacifier, raising his arms toward a toy mobile that was hanging from his bed.

"I took this from the pediatric ward.", the nurse said.

The boys stayed on the phone until the doctor came back with Chan's papers.

Hyunjin had to stay overnight.

Everyone made the decision to stay until then.

"Hand him here. Hand him over. Give him here."

"Chan."

"Give him to meeeeeeee!"

"He literally just got discharged."

The next morning Hyunjin was able to go home.

Changbin went to get him and Chan couldn't wait to hold his baby. The members waited in the lobby.

While waiting, Seungmin got a phone call.

"Who's this?"

"Wow. Gonna pretend you don't know me baby?"

"Shhhhhhshsjssb, you're on speaker phone."

"HI STRAY KIDS!", the person yelled.

Everyone looked at Seungmin.

Changbin came from the back with Hyunjin in his arms, who was wiggling around. At the sight of Chan, he reached his arms out and dropped his pacifier.

The older quickly got up and grabbed him.

"Oh my precious baby angel, let's not scare appa like that again okay? We're gonna go home and I will never let you out of my sight."

The members left the hospital.

Seungmin hung up the phone and made eye contact with Felix as they got into the managers van.

"What?"

"Are you in a relationship...baby?"

"So what if I am?"

"That voice sounded familiar."

"Not telling."

"Okay okay. Tell the other 12 I said hi."

"Shut it."
