Seonghwa knew something wasn't right with him the day Hongjoong came back.

He awakes feeling nauseous and has been for a while now. Hongjoong was gone for fourteen days, and after doing some fast math in his head, he resorted back to his old medical books Yunho let him keep. He looks through the old marked pages, and reading them with a smile. Everything makes sense now.

How his body, especially his nipples, were more sensitive. He's more tender and that's not something he wants when he breastfeeds Aurora. How he seemed to have a sixth sense. His sense of smell was already heightened after being pregnant with Aurora, but now it's more so. How he felt nauseous for the past few days now. It all makes sense. Hongjoong and him had been intimate before he left, and came back two weeks later. That's plenty of time for conception.

And now he's starting to notice the symptoms are more prominent.

"Aurora sweetie be gentle," Seonghwa hisses, pulling Aurora away only for the girl to whine and latch back onto him.

"Sore?" Hongjoong asks, laying a plate of eggs and bacon in front of Seonghwa.

"I'm very tender," Seonghwa complains, making a face, "I noticed them being sore the other night when....."

"Ahh," Hongjoong nods, realization hitting him, "Maybe your milk supply is exceeding?"

"I... I don't think so," Seonghwa blushes, "I'm actually experiencing the same symptoms..."

Hongjoong freezes, looking over to his lover and noticing the blonde watching his reaction. Hongjoong's gaze was soft as he kneels by the blonde, "You think....?"

"I think I am," Seonghwa whispers, smiling a little, "I'm almost one hundred percent positive."

Hongjoong smiles, gently placing a hand on his flat stomach and brushing his thumb against it, "Two kids... are we ready for that?"

"I mean, we kind of raised six," Seonghwa giggles, "And Aurora."

Hongjoong chuckles, looking at their daughter and smiling wider, "Just think, another little one running around. Half you, half me."

Seonghwa chuckles, looking down to see Aurora falling asleep as she feeds. He brushes a finger across her cheekbone, "I'm hoping its a boy."

Hongjoong chuckles, "I wouldn't mind another girl, a boy would be nice. I don't care as long as it's healthy. I'll be happy, because its our child."

Seonghwa pouts, "I love you," he whispers, leaning in and kissing his lover.

Hongjoong chuckles, "I love you too," he stands, "Now, to go run and see how building the new houses are coming. Make my usual rounds around the island."

"Be careful," Seonghwa kisses him once more before Hongjoong turns to leave, "What time will you be back?"

"I should be home before dark," Hongjoong assures him, "If not, don't wait up for me for dinner." Seonghwa narrows his eyes and the red headed captain laughs, "Kidding, love you!"

"Love you," Seonghwa rolls his eyes, waiting until Hongjoong shuts the door before looking down at a now sleeping Aurora who was no longer feeding, "Daddy is so silly."

"How are you feeling lately?" Seonghwa asks Yeosang, "is your pregnancy getting any easier?"

"I'm still throwing up and I'm still trying to get used to the attention this baby is bringing me," Yeosang giggles softly, "San is pretty much the only person I let touch my belly. The only time he isn't allowed to is when we're intimate. Everyone else when they try I feel so uncomfortable and I try to shy away from the hands."

"I can understand that," Seonghwa smiles, "San is the father, and this is your first baby. I was like that at first with Aurora but I eventually got used to everyone touching me."

Yeosang smirks a little, arching his eyebrow at Seonghwa, "There's something different about you hyung."

Seonghwa smiles, looking away shyly, "Hey, tonight we're having a pig roast at our house. Would you like to come over?"

"Is everyone invited?" Yeosang asks.

"Of course," Seonghwa laughs, "Including Yunho's family. Just come by after work and feel free to bring food."

Jongho plays his guitar as everyone dances and chatters. Yunho's mother and father watch as the younger adults eat and drink in celebration for their return. Hongjoong and Mingi were the most drunk, Hongjoong trying to dance with Seonghwa but the blonde just laughs and sits with Yeosang.

San and Jongho poured more drinks for everyone, talking to Juno who was relatively quiet. Quinn on the other hand watched with hungry eyes, and Seonghwa didn't know how he felt about the girl yet.

"Everyone!!" Hongjoong slurs, holding his drink, "Tonight, we toast to being home for longer than a week this time. And," he points to Seonghwa, "My second child."

Gasps were heard and Yeosang grins, "You're pregnant too?!"

Seonghwa nods, grinning from ear to ear as Yeosang took him in his arms and hugs him close. Everyone congratulated the blonde for his announced pregnancy, and many tried to get Yeosang to reveal his belly. But after some convincing from San, Yeosang turns to the side and reveals the small curve of his belly already forming.

Everyone coos, and Yeosang shyly hides behind San which gives everyone the cue to leave the pinkette alone. Yeosang sat back down with Seonghwa, watching as Yunho's mother plays with Aurora from afar. He smiles, "Yunho's family is so kind."

"They are," Seonghwa hums, catching hungry and prowling eyes from across the pig roast fire as Quinn moves from her position over to the others dancing, "I don't trust her," he spoke quietly to Yeosang.

"I don't either," Yeosang watches as she circles Hongjoong and Jongho like a hungry cat. But she won't strike yet, if she tries, she will be brought down instantly.

"We must keep an eye on her," Seonghwa whispers, "She's like a hungry lion stalking her prey."

"Agreed."
