The Stork Comes
"Hey, Ha Ni….OH Ha Ni!" called Seung Jo shacking his wife awake.
Ha Ni slowly opened her eyes and looked at Seung Jo, he looked so dashing in his white lab coat and dark hair.
"Hurry up, you're going to be late for work." He said grabbing his bag.
Ha Ni laid in bed for a little bit longer, before she slowly got up. She wasn't feeling to well but she didn't want to tell Seung Jo or else he'd just say it was because she ate to many sweets the night before. By the time Ha Ni made it down stairs Seung Jo had already left for work. When her mother-in-law saw Ha Ni, she rushed over with a bowl of warm rice porridge.
"Ha Ni, here eat this. Is something the matter, you don't look so well?" she asked as she set the bowl down next to Ha Ni and sat down across from her.
"I'm feeling a little sick to my stomach, and I didn't sleep so well last night."
"Perhaps you should see a doctor during your lunch brake, just to make sure nothing is wrong."
"If I don't feel better than maybe I should, shoot I'm late. I'm leaving." Said Ha Ni getting up without touching the porridge and rushing out the door.
Ha Ni tried her best that morning to focus on her four patients but she still wasn't feeling well so she made a few small mistakes like bringing the wrong medication into the room, but she caught herself before she gave it to the patient, when Seung Jo was making his rounds with the other inters he whispered in her ear, "What are you doing? Get our head out of the clouds." Ha Ni glared at him and stuck her tough out at him when the other interns weren't looking, Seung Jo always expected her to get everything right even if she wasn't feeling the best. Ha Ni didn't get to her lunch brake until after two, since she still wasn't feeling well Ha Ni decided to do as her mother-in-law suggested and see a doctor during her brake.
"Nothing is wrong with you." said the Doctor after he had finished his examination and done a few tests.
"Nothing is wrong, then why am I feeling sick?" asked Ha Ni confused.
"No, you're just having some morning sickness."
"Morning sickness!" exclaimed Ha Ni, "you mean I'm pregnant!?"
"Yes, I'd say you're about eight or nine weeks pregnant. Congratulations, I'm sure Seung Jo will be very happy. I am going to give you this prescription for Zofran, it should help with the morning sickness." Said the Doctor handing the prescription to Ha Ni.
Ha Ni, bowed and thanked the Doctor. She couldn't believe it, she was pregnant. Ha Ni knew that once she got home and told her dad and Seung Jo's parents they would all be very happy and his mom would want to go ahead and start buying things for the baby, make a nursery, and tell everyone she knew that she was going to be a grandma. It would all be like it had been last time when they thought she was pregnant but when she and Seung Jo went to get it checked she wasn't.
"Did you talk to the Doctor? What did he say?" asked Ha Ni's mother-in-law when she and Seung Jo came home together.
"Nothing, he said nothing is wrong with me." Replied Ha Ni and then walking up to her room.
"Hey, Seung Jo, did you two fight at work? Why is Ha Ni so depressed?"
"We didn't fight, she's probably upset because I yelled at her for not focusing on her work and making mistakes."
Seung Jo went up stairs to wash up and change. He didn't know what Ha Ni's problem was she had been so unfocused at work and had avoided him most of the afternoon too. They hadn't really argued for a while now so it wasn't like either of them were angry at the other person. But something was the matter, Ha Ni was normally always bright and cheerful at work but today she had been all gloomy and spaced out.
On the other end Ha Ni was trying to figure out when she would tell Seung Jo and their family that she was pregnant. After what happened last time she was unsure what to do and particularly what Seung Jo's reaction would be. It wasn't like she was she was unhappy about this, she was actually ecstatic, having a cute baby like Seung Jo would be a dream come true. The following day was Ha Ni's day off so she was still asleep when Seung Jo left for his early morning shift at the hospital. It was her morning sickness that woke Ha Ni up around eight thirty.
"Ha Ni! Are you alright?" asked her mother-in-law as she rushed over when she saw Ha Ni in the bathroom looking a little green.
"I'm fine, it's just morning sickness." Said Ha Ni splashing cold water on her face.
"Morning Sickness! Ha Ni you're pregnant! Oh this is great, Oh you should go tall papa and you should hurry and tell Seung Jo. No wait let's call him right now!"
"Mom, please, don't. Let me do it this time and don't go over board like last time. Seung Jo wasn't happy when you did it last time."
"Fine Fine, I'll play by your rules this time." Said her mother-in-law and then helped her up.
Ha Ni couldn't be sure that her mother-in-law would do what she asked, it was more than likely that she was already on her way to tell her husband and Ha Ni's dad and Ha Ni was sure she would also call Seung Jo too. It was just the way she was, Ha Ni loved her for it. Without having her own mother Seung Jo's mom had become her own mom even before they had become in-laws. While her mother-in-law was out getting groceries, or so she said, Ha Ni decided to try and improve her cooking skills. Even with being married to Seung Jo her cooking skills hadn't improved much. But since it was her day off and Seung Jo was going to get home early today she decided to try and cook him something edible.
When Seung Jo walked threw the front door he smelled something burning and could see smoke coming from the kitchen. He hurriedly kicked off his shoes and rushed to the kitchen, there was only one reason why there would be so much smoke, Ha Ni was trying to cook again. When he entered the kitchen he found Ha Ni struggling with three pans on the stove, one was boiling over, and she was also struggling to put out the fire on the curtains. Seung Jo rushed over, picked up the curtain and threw it in the sink running water over it to douse it out and then he turned off the stove and moved the pots off of it.
"Oh Ha Ni! What are you doing!" yelled Seung Jo
"I'm sorry….I just wanted you to be able to eat something warm when you got home, and Mom is gone."
"Is it because you have something to tell me?"
Ha Ni stared at him, how could he know that she wanted to talk to him, "How do you know that?"
"Mom called me, and told me to hurry home as soon as I was done because you had something you really wanted to tell me."
Ha Ni, looked down at her feet and started playing with her hands, "you know how I said I was fine yesterday, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong with me."
"yes." Replied Seung Jo wondering where his air head wife was going with this.
"Well, that's true but…..but he also said something else." She paused again, "I'm….I'm nine weeks pregnant." She finally blurted out.
Seung Jo, just stood there for a moment without saying anything. Ha Ni wondered if he was unhappy that she hadn't told him earlier.
"You're…pregnant?"
"Yes." She said her voice quivering.
It took another moment for it to sink in, and then he grabbed her by the shoulders and looked her directly in the eyes, "I'm happy, I really am." He said and then kissed her and Ha Ni fell into his warm embrace. It seemed her worries were completely unfounded.
"YA!" came a loud shout and poppers popped as confetti scattered everywhere and Ha Ni's and Seung Jo's families walked in.
"Yes, finally it's out so now I can plan a splendid baby shower, and Oh we'll need to find the perfect space for a nursery and Seung Jo you and Ha Ni should hurry and find out if it's a boy or a girl so we can pick a name and get the right colors." Said Sueng Jo's mom
"MOM!" exclaimed Seung Jo
