Jimin woke up to the faint sound of whispering across the room. He kept his eyes closed because the bring light of the sun was blinding even through his eyelids, and he didn't want the people behind the hushed voices to notice he's awoken. He tried to hear what was being said, but ultimately gave up.

He slowly cracked his eyes open, blinking a few times and lifting his hand to block the sunlight from his eyes. He shifted slightly in the bed and groaned when he felt the soreness of his lower body. That seemed to notify whoever else was inside the room of his consciousnes because the whispers stopped.

"Jimin?" he heard the worried voice of his roomate and best friend.

"H-hey." Jimin's voice came out raspy as the other male helped him to sit a little more upright, positioning the bed just right.

Yoongi came over with a glass of water with his lips formed into a soft smile. "Hey Jiminie."

It took a moment for everything to sink in after just waking up. He took a moment to look around the room. He was in the hospital. He went into labor yesterday. His baby... Where's his baby?

Before he could ask the urgent question, Dr. Lee stepped forward, making her presence known. "Hi Jimin, how are you feeling this afternoon?"

That's right. He must've slept through the entire morning since he pushed clear through the middle of the night. He finished taking a couple sips of the water before handing it back to the father of his son. "G-good, I guess... Where is he?"

She flashed the boy a sad smile before she spoke. "Your son is okay. He's in the NICU." Jimin's shoulders instantly slouched with a bit more relief, but he knew the 'But' what coming. "But because he was born several weeks early, his lungs are severely weak and it's difficult for him to regulate his body temperature. I am estimating that we will have to keep him here for a couple weeks before he will be strong enough to be taken home" she explained.

Jimin nodded in understanding, but he would be lying if he said he wasn't scared. He's also heartbroken that he can't take his baby home with him right away, but he wants nothing more than for his son be healthy.

"When can I see him?" The new mother just wanted to hold his baby already.

Dr. Lee cooed at his eagerness. "I promise that you can see him here shortly. We just want to be sure that you are completely checked out first. You had a very rough labor. It progressed quite quickly compared to what's considered normal. It was very hard on your body. I will have nurses in here shortly to check on you, and then I would like to make sure that you have eaten."

The disappointment was obvious from Jimin's facial expression. He didn't care about himself right now. He just cared about his son, but he will listen to whatever she says if it allows him to meet his son sooner.

The nurses shuffled in shortly after Dr. Lee left the room. They checked his heart monitors and his temperature. One of the nurses even checked down below, where he had to have a couple stitches from where he recieved a small tear during labor, making sure that everything was stitched correctly and there was not chance of a possible infection. He blushed. It wasn't as awkward when he was in the middle of labor pains, but now it made him a little uncomfortable to have a stranger looking down there.

"Would you like to take a shower?" another, older nurse politely asked. Jimin didn't hesitate to nod. "Would you like some assistance?"

"Would it be alright if I help him?" Taehyung asked, knowing Jimin would be more comfortable that way.

"Yes, dear. That will be okay. Just be mindful of the stitches. Press the button if you need any help." she sweetly grinned.

Once Jimin was cleaned up, a tray of food was brought to his room. Yoongi decided to take that chance to step out of the room to finally call the other friends who were still in the waiting room.

"How are they?" Hoseok stepped forward, tiredly running a hand through his reddish-brown hair.

"Jimin is fine. He's been looked at, showered, and is now eating. He's anxious to meet him for obvious reasons. I don't know too much about the baby, other than he's going to have to stay here for a while since his lungs are underdeveloped. I didn't want to go and see him until Jimin was able to." The new dad informed.

Yoongi noticed Seokjin standing a bit further away with a blank, unreadable expression. "Where are the other two?" Yoongi asked.

"They went out to grab us all food actually. We figured you and Taehyung would be starving too" his dormate grinned.

"I can't believe you all stayed here all night. You didn't need to do that."

Hoseok shrugged. "I don't think any of us would have been able to properly sleep anyway without knowing how everyone was doing. We're all excited to be uncles, you know?"

Right after that was said, Namjoon and Jungkook entered the reception area with arms full of fast food bags. "We come bearing gifts!" Namjoon dramatically announced, while Jungkook beamed with his giant bunny-like smile.

It was finally time. More than anything, the two new parents just wanted to say hello to their newborn son. Following a kind nurse, Yoongi pushed Jimin inside the NICU in a wheelchair. They passed by several incubators containing other new parent's premature babies and it was all becoming so surreal to them. They wouldn't be able to take their son home. He will be living here for a few weeks.

They were finally brought to a clear incubator and a curtain was closed around the pair to give them some privacy, and that's when Jimin finally saw him.

There he was, so tiny, attached to several tubes that were helping him to breathe. And goodness, Jimin was not prepared for the overwhelming sensations that flowed through him. He felt so much love for this tiny being, and so much pain at the same time. Why did his baby have to go through this and fight for his life? It wasn't fair.

Jimin covered his mouth before he let his sobbing completely consume him. This was harder than anything he has ever faced before, but that comes with being a parent.

The new mother couldn't help but place the blame on himself. The doctor's had told him to keep his stress levels underwrap, but he failed. He worked when he wasn't supposed to. He failed his son. His baby was going through this because of him.

As though Yoongi knew exactly what the younger was thinking, he place comforting hands on his shoulders, kneeling in front of him. "Don't you dare blame yourself for this." He sounded firm but gentle. "This couldn't be predicted, Jimin. Now look at me."

Jimin hesitantly looked up into the older's eyes. There were tears in his eyes as well.

Yoongi must be hurting too.

"Will you please look at the beautiful son you created?"

Jimin was helped into a standing position, and stepped closer to the incubator. Another sob wracked through him because he was so beautiful. So tiny, but so beauiful. He looked almost exactly like Yoongi, aside from his plump lips that were like Jimin's, which made him fall even more in love with the tiny little human he created. He loved that he looked like the father. "He's so perfect, Yoongi!" he cried.

Yoongi wrapped a proud arm around the smaller, and leaned in to whisper in his ear, "You did amazing, Jiminie. I'm so proud of you." he kissed the side of Jimin's head. And though the pair weren't together, Jimin loved the affection from the father of his child right now. He needed it.

The hospital allowed for the parents to reach inside the holes on either side of the incubator to gently touch their baby, after properly cleaning and sanitizing their hands. They claimed that the skin to skin contact helps the baby grow and gain strength. They won't be able to hold him for a little while longer, until he's able to breathe more on his own.

As the parent's were once again left alone to bond with their newborn son, Yoongi asked, "Have you thought of a name for him?"

Jimin smiled slightly. There was a name he had always had in mind. He didn't want to decide for sure until he saw the precious face of his son, but it was now confirmed. "Min Gunmin" he spoke, grinning widely at his baby. That was what he wanted to name him.

"R-really?" Yoongi was startled. He didn't think Jimin would want to use his sur-name after everything that has transpired between them. "You want to use my sur-name?"

"Before, I was going to keep it as Park, but now I think it should be Min... since you're here now." Jimin's cheeks turned a rosey color that Yoongi thought was stunning. "Plus, ever since my parents pretty much disowned me, I don't think the Park name is all that great."

Yoongi raised an eyebrow at that. That would be a conversation the two would have to have later.

They both quickly turned their attention back to their tiny baby. "I love the name. It's perfect for him. Min Gunmin" Yoongi tried out the name.

"Hello baby Gunmin"

~~~~~~~~~~

We finally meet baby Gunmin! I just saw Oneus recently in concert in Dallas! I chose his name after Seoho's real name. We weren't sure if Seoho would be performing at the concert since he was sick, but he surprised us all by appearing in the second song! So I decided that Gunmin would be fitting for baby Min!
