So, on Twitter, I saw #NationalDrinkWineDay and I will not let this opportunity slip. Also I am very proud of this because I wrote it under twenty minutes

MC and Jumin sat silently as they ate their dinner. It was their fifteenth month anniversary as husband and wife and what better way to spend the occasion than with the best dinner money can afford. The food was perfect, the ambiance calm, everything was delightful for stressed Jumin. There was only one thing that was the problem though.
"You don't like the wine, love?" Jumin asked MC then took a sip from his wine glass, "It's National Drink Wine Day today so I bought the best one I could find."
MC cracked a small grin, "Where did you learn that?"
"I heard some employees talking about it earlier at the office," Jumin answered, "Do you not like it? I can get you another bottle if you want."
MC shook her head no, "It's fine, Honey, it looks nice and it orobably tastes nice…"
"I'm sorry if I'm pressuring you but why aren't you drinking it then?" Jumin asked
"I… can't," MC responded slowly
"Why not? Is it a health related issue? I can call a doctor," Jumin replied
MC smiled at him, "That would be nice but I don't need a doctor, really. I just can't drink wine for a few months."
Jumin placed his glass down and grabbed MC's hand, "Why is that, Honey? Please tell me, I am getting concerned."
"I…" MC started, "I can't drink wine because I'm-,"
Ring. Ring.
Jumin brought his phone out to see who dared to interrupt their moment. He sighed when he saw that it was his assistant then excused himself for a moment.
"I left it on the table, Assistant Kang," Jumin said exasperatedly, "This really isn't a good time."
MC bit her lip then contemplated on how she was going to tell. She was bursting with excitement but at the same time feeling absolutely nervous. How would he react? How would she even tell him to start with? Should she be creative or simple or prepare a surprise or…
"Jumin I'm pregnant!" MC exclaimed then placed a hand over her mouth, eyes wide
…or that. That could work too.
Jumin stared at her, mouth agape. The only sound that was heard at that moment was Jaehee's voice over the phone. Everything else fell eeriely silent and MC felt that her heart was about to explode.
"I-I'm with child, Honey, haha," she spoke, "Y-You're gonna be a father."
He just stared. And stared. And stared.
Until he dropped his phone and ran to you, hugging your stomach. He placed a soft kiss over it then rested his forehead on it.
"An offspring. A combination of you and I," he whispered, "Wow. Amazing."
MC couldn't help but smile at that. She placed a kiss on the top of his head then ran a hand through his hair.
MC grinned at him, "Yeah. Truly amazing."
