4th month of pregnancy:
Ha Ni looked up at her computer screen and sighed. Work today at the hospital wasn't busy, so all she did was organized files in the doctor's office and plug in additional information of the patients on her floor. She then had a sudden craving for something. Chocolate? Ice cream? Candy? She scratched her head in frustration as she got up and left for lunch. As she made her way to the elevator, the doors opened to reveal her husband, smiling up at her. She smiled back as he stepped out to stand in front of her.
"Going to lunch?" Seung Jo asked
"Yup."
Ha Ni looked down at his outstretched hands. In them sat an ice cream cone, a milk chocolate bar and fruity candy. She gapped at him while he chuckled.
"I had a feeling you had cravings" Seung Jo explained, placing the items in her hand.
Ha Ni smiled up at him and tiptoed to kiss him on the lips. "Thank you!"
Seung Jo smiled "no problem. I need to go back to work, so go on to lunch. I`ll see you later?"
Ha Ni disentangled herself from his arms and nodded. "See you after work"
Seung Jo walked away as Ha Ni stared at him. Feeling her gaze on his back, Seung Jo turned around,
"Ha Ni"
Looking shocked, she replied with a "hwa?"
Seung Jo held back a chuckle. "I love you."
Ha Ni blushed as the butterflies in her stomach raced...or maybe it was the baby? She placed her hands on the bottom of her growing belly and smiled warmly at him,
"I love you too."

5th month of pregnancy:
Ha Ni was gradually getting bigger. Her stomach would bump into corners if she wasn't looking or paying attention, she was a lot heavier and her feet swelled up. She stood in the middle of the kitchen, thinking of what to cook for dinner (TRY to at least). When she found that the pot she wanted was on the very bottom cabinets, she glowered at it.
'Dang you… I hate bending down in this condition.' She thought.
Kneeling on the floor, she opened the door and took out the designated pot. But there was a problem. Since she had worked passed her regular work schedule, she was exhausted and tired. Now she couldn't find the strength to pull herself up… she was afraid of squishing the baby if she tried, and she didn't feel like doing it because she was too lazy… Giving up, she sat on the cold floor, crossing her legs. There was nobody home to help her up-both dad`s were still at work, Eun Jo was at a friend's house and mother was shopping for the upcoming baby. Again.
'Oh. Wait, Seung Jo`s home!' she thought. She had almost forgotten he was here because it`s been so quiet.
With a deep breath, she yelled loud enough so it echoed throughout the whole house,
"BEAK SEUNG JO!"
The sound of a door slamming and footsteps flying down the stairwell made Ha Ni grin. Half a second later, Seung Jo appeared in front of her, topless.
"What is it? What's wrong? Why are you on the ground? Did you fall?" Seung Jo made his way next to her and held out his hand with questioning eyes.
Ha Ni grasped his hands and pushed herself off her feet. When she got up, she finally answered him.
"I didn't fall. I just had to get a pot that was on one of the bottom cabinets and couldn't get back up `cuz I thought I would squish the baby."
Seung Jo let out a sigh of relief. He looked down and saw Ha Ni staring at his body.
"Yah, Ha Ni. Are you staring at my body?" Seung Jo teased, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Ha Ni blushed and wrapped her arms around his neck, "You wish."
"Ha. Ha. Ha. I caught you, so don't play dumb. It's too bad we can't do 'anything' while you're like this" he said, rubbing her belly with his left hand.
"YAH!" Ha Ni said loudly.
Seung Jo laughed out loud and let go of her. "I`ll go put on a shirt and come back down to help you cook so you won't get distracted. I don't want to eat burnt, dry or uncooked food again."
Ha Ni glared at her husband as he made his way out the door, "YAH! That's not FUNNY!"
'Idiot. Making fun of my cooking. Heh!' she thought to herself as she began cutting the vegetables.
After a few minutes of humming to herself, Seung Jo came up behind her unnoticed until he wrapped both arms around her center lightly. Resting his chin on her shoulder he whispered,
"Well… there is ONE thing you can do without messing up."
Ha Ni gasped and jumped slightly, making the knife slide, slicing a part of her finger.
She cried aloud, "OOOWWWCCHH! WHAAA! Seung Jo! You're such an IDIOT! How many times do I need to tell you to NOT SNEAK UP ON ME LIKE THAT? WAAAAA!"
Seung Jo grabbed her bleeding hand in his to observe the wound. He tried to hold back a chuckle but failed. Ha Ni scowled at him,
"now it`s FUNNY?"
Seung Jo immediately tried to pull a serious look together. "N-n-nope!" stopping in between to bite his lip from smiling.
Ha Ni pulled her hand away and turned to leave, "if you're just going to laugh at me, then I'm leaving! You make dinner tonight!"
Seung Jo caught up with her and held her back from walking any further.
"I`m not making fun of you, idiot. I`m laughing because you concentrate so hard on cutting something as simple as veggies."
He paused and looked into her eyes.
"It's cute." He continued.
Ha Ni blushed but kept the annoyed look on her face for play. "Whatever. Now, will NURSE Beak have to deal with this? Or will DOCTOR Beak do it for her?" she asked, raising her bloody finger.
Seung Jo grinned and pulled her into the bathroom while saying,
"Dr. Beak will now see patient 'Beak Ha Ni'"
Ha Ni laughed as she was being cured. In the end, they both decided to order take out for the whole family.

6th month of pregnancy:
Today was Seung Jo and Ha Ni`s day off. So, they both agreed to go in for an ultrasound. Since they`ve both been busy at work, this was their first check up in a while. It was exciting for them both, even though Seung Jo tried to hide it; his wife was still good at reading him.
When they got to the hospital, Ha Ni and Seung Jo sat down, waiting patiently for them to be called in. Seung Jo looked over at Ha Ni and grabbed her hand, lacing their fingers together. Ha Ni looked up at him and smiled. Suddenly she felt the baby nudge inside of her. It went on for quite a while, so she decided to flip Seung Jo`s hand over and rest on her stomach. He looked at her with questioning eyes.
"You don't feel it?" Ha Ni asked. Her dress wasn't that thick, so he should be able to feel it.
"Feel what?" Seung Jo responded.
Ha Ni raised her eyebrow, "The baby is moving"
Seung Jo`s eyes warmed up. "I wish I could feel that. But I don't feel anything."
Before Ha Ni could reply, the doctor called "Mr. and Mrs. Beak?"
They both stood up and followed the doctor into the room. The doctor handed Ha Ni a hospital gown,
"Please change into this before the examination." He explained before walking out to get the rest of the stuff.
"Alright." Ha Ni bowed slightly as he left. Then she looked up at Seung Jo, blushing.
"what." He said
"Turn around."
Seung Jo rolled his eyes. "Ha Ni, it`s not like I've never seen your body before. Don't be so shy. Now hurry up and change before the doctor comes back."
Ha Ni curled her lips but said nothing. As she reached around to undo her dress, Seung Jo settled into a chair and read a magazine. Ha Ni got the zipper partially down, but couldn't reach the rest. She looked to her left and whispered,
"Yah, Seung Jo."
He looked up at her, "what?"
She blushed, "Could you help me unzip this? I can't reach…"
Seung Jo sighed and got up, unzipping and taking off the rest of Ha Ni`s dress. He helped her into the hospital gown, tying it and all, and helped her on the bed to wait for the doctor. There was a few quiet knocks, before the door opened and the doctor came in with gel in one hand, papers in the other. He smiled at Ha Ni,
"OK Mrs. Beak, please lay back and lift the fabric so your stomach is out."
Ha Ni nodded and did as told. Seung Jo read her face and went to stand next to her, holding her hand.
The doctor plugged some wires into the computer by her head and attached a scanner looking thing on the other end of the wire. He took the gel in his hand as he turned the monitor on,
"The gel will be a little cold for a while, but it will warm up once it`s applied, don't worry."
Ha Ni nodded and smiled.
As the doctor spread the cold substance on her belly, Ha Ni gasped and squeezed Seung Jo` s hand in surprise. The doctor just looked at her and grinned, it was amusing watching the patients' reactions all the time.
The doctor held the scanner item on her stomach and moved it around while looking at the computer screen. Ha Ni looked up at it too but saw nothing. Then, some white started to appear and then an image formed in the center of the monitor. Ha Ni smiled excitedly as the seed like image moved around and looked up when she felt Seung Jo squeeze her hand.
"Mr. and Mrs. Beak, I`m proud to tell you that your child is a girl. Her due date will be in about 2 and half months from now, so... October 28th or 29. Congratulations!"
Seung Jo was taken aback 'were going to have a DAUGHTER!' He looked down and saw Ha Ni grinning like an idiot.
"Oh. Is it OK if we have a few copies of the ultrasound?" Seung Jo asked.
Ha Ni looked up in surprise but smiled warmly. The doctor nodded,
"Sure. I`ll go make some right now. You can come out once you're done changing, the pictures will be at the front desk."
Seung Jo bowed as the doctor made his way out. Once the door was shut, he turned around and place a BIG kiss on Ha Ni`s unexpected lips. She kissed him back, running her hands through his hair.
"I love you." They said together once they split.
Ha Ni giggled and got up to changed back to her dress, "I can't wait to tell everyone the baby is a GIRL! EEEP!"
Seung Jo chuckled. "Alright, alright. Now let`s go, I`m hungry."
Ha Ni looked down at her stomach, "so are we."
