Month by month insight of their daily lives as they prepare for their firstborn's arrival.
Note: How does a man get pregnant? Well, you don't question the biology because it's MPREG. Anything happens. :P
Timeline: As the baby's age was 3 months old at Chapter 1 when it was Jumin's birthday (October), back tracking the timeline, 9 months of conceiving + 3 months old will mean that it was conceived somewhere near Jumin's birthday the previous year. But I'll leave it to your active imagination. ;D
Based on:
-outgoing call to Jumin on Yoosung's route day 10: You're not trying to ask me to sing one for you or anything ridiculous as that, are you?
-incoming call from Zen from Zen's route day 9: I already imagined how our baby will look like when I saw you.
-Jumin's nightmare on Jumin's route day 6.
Caution: Extreme fluff.
Zen is tired, very tired. As he rolls to his side trying to get a better position to sleep, Jumin's finger tips slowly wanders from his naked hips to the waist. He shuddered as it sends shivers down his spine. Jumin places a kiss on the back of his shoulder before he lightly nips at his right ear and purred into it seductively 'Shall we go for another round, honey?' Zen's ears went red again for the umpteenth times that evening. 'We've done three rounds already!' Zen's entire being has been filled with Jumin's essence. His body is sore but Jumin has no plans to release him yet. 'You should have known better when you dressed up and offered yourself like that on my birthday. And since when those couple of rounds ever satisfy you? What happened to your inner beast hmm? Now, prepare for the consequences.' Zen had dressed up only in red ribbons covering his body with cat ears, cat tail and bell collar. That was partly the joint idea and suggestions of Saeyoung with MC when he asked for their opinions. He felt partially regret now. Zen turns to lean on his back and Jumin took the opportunity to get on top of him. Zen grunts 'You're impossible.' Jumin grinned and happily hums as he leans in to kiss his beloved, interlocking their hands in the process. A slow kiss turns hungry and one thing led to another, Zen knew he will never get a good night's sleep tonight.
-1st month-
Morning sickness & Discovery
Zen was jolted awake with the sudden feeling of his acidic stomach contents crawling up his throat. He made a dash to the toilet and was in time when his gag reflex threw up his entire stomach content. He hasn't been feeling well and has been grumpy mood for the past few days. Jumin has been away for a business trip when it started and he was grateful for it. If Jumin had seen him in that state, he would have immediately sent him to the hospital for a checkup. Zen tries to figure out what went wrong with his body as he prepares for his rehearsal. He never got sick before and has a higher recovery rate than any normal human being. 'Food poisoning? It can't be that.' He thought to himself. The chef would always use the freshest ingredients and the kitchen was kept sparkly clean at all times.
After the rehearsal, he met up with MC for lunch. He had hired MC as his manager as he couldn't handle all the scheduling and responding to offers all by himself when he shot to fame. 'Hey, Zenny.' 'Hi, babe. Thanks for the hard work.' 'No no, the pleasure's mine. I think you should stop calling every girl as 'babe' if you don't want to get Jumin to be jealous.' 'Him? Jealous?' He smiled as eyes wandered to the titanium wedding band on his left ring finger. He adds on 'He knows the nature of my job as an actor. There's nothing to be jealous about when I'm already his.' MC could felt her heart throbbing faster when she heard that last sentence. Even though Zen would not publicly admit it, she knew he was completely in love. She noticed Zen has not been eating much of his food as he plays around with his cutleries. 'So, how are you feeling today?' He sighed. 'Worst of the worst. I almost couldn't make it to the toilet in time this morning. Maybe I should sleep in the bathroom tonight.' 'Hmm...' MC is in deep thought. 'What are you thinking?' 'You know, Zenny. Your symptoms sound a lot like you're pregnant.' Zen got shocked and drops his spoon. 'What?' 'I'm not saying that you're really pregnant. It's just a possibility considering your symptoms.' They got interrupted as her phone buzzes signaling an incoming call. She takes the call as Zen wondered about the possibility. His hand subconsciously went to his abdomen. He broke his trance when MC announces 'Hey Zenny. I have to go for a meeting now. Are you alright by your own?' 'Yeah, I'm fine.' 'Oh before I go.' She rummages through her beg and places a box on the table. 'What's this?' Zen enquired. 'You will know when you get home and open it. Gotta go.'
Back at home that late evening, Zen took out the box and discovered it to be a pregnancy test kit. He gulped nervously. 'It won't hurt to just try this out right?' he thought to himself as he enters the bathroom with the test kit. Zen is nervous as he paces around, waiting for the test kit result. The test kit results are simple: One line means not pregnant, two lines means pregnant. Ten minutes later, with his shaking hand, he peek at the test kit. Two lines. Zen smiled instantly. He was happy as he always wanted to have a child with his beloved Jumin. His hand rubbed his flat abdomen thinking bout a precious life formed within him. Happiness turn worries as thousands of questions flood his mind. Will they be good parents? Will Jumin be happy about this?
As the test kit did say it is only 70% accurate, Zen decided to wait for another month for his body to be more stable before going for proper diagnosis and breaking the news to Jumin.
-2nd month-
Diagnosis & Christmas
'Hyun, why are you avoiding me lately? You're not eating well and you even went to bed early these days. Is there something wrong?' Jumin prods as they are having Christmas eve dinner together when he noticed Zen hasn't touched his food at all again. Zen sighed and places his cutleries down. 'I guess I have no choice but to tell him now,' he thought to himself. 'Jumin, what do you think about having children?' 'What about it?' He takes a deep breath and announces 'I think I'm pregnant.' Jumin was shocked and almost drop his glass of wine. Before he could say anything, Zen with a flushed face hurriedly say 'I don't care if you're not happy with this; I'm still having this child either way.' Jumin expression turns somewhat angry. 'Of course, I'm not happy. I haven't even said anything and you already thought I hated this.' 'You're not unhappy with this?' Jumin held both Zen's hand into his. 'Of course not. I'm actually thrilled. This is OUR child, my beloved.' Zen was instantly relieved when he saw Jumin's smile. 'I'm sorry for assuming that. But before we all get too excited, I haven't went for a proper diagnosis.' 'Why not?' 'Well, I.. I was afraid.' 'Then I'll be by your side every step of the way. The clinic should be still open at this hour.' Jumin instantly took him to the clinic in the penthouse's building and ordered for an instant diagnosis.
Jumin is visibly anxious as he loosens his tie while waiting for the result. 'God, why is it taking so long?' As he lashes out, the nurse called Zen's name to enter the doctor's room. 'Congratulations! You are indeed pregnant. 2 months long to be exact.' They were thrilled to hear the result. Jumin was even more in the state of shock than Zen. 'Am I really going to be a father?' Zen cups Jumin's face with of his hands, he was almost in tears. 'Yes, babe. We're going to be parents.' Jumin muses to himself 'This has got to be the best Christmas gift ever.' Looking at how happy Jumin is, Zen felt he had unnecessarily worried for nothing for the past month.
When they returned to their home, they discussed many things. Among the topics was to announce the news to the RFA members. Zen wanted to announce it right away but Jumin suggested that they wait until the next RFA party which is next month and it would make a great New Years announcement. Zen happily agreed as they would be announcing it together face-to-face to the others.
Laying on the bed in each other's embrace, Zen thought to himself as he rubs around his abdomen 'I knew you'll come one day but not as I would expected it this way.' Jumin caught his beloved wife in deep thoughts. Curious, he asks 'what silly things are you thinking about now when you're supposed to get to sleep by now?'
-3rd month-
Announcement, New Year & Family
The morning before the party starts, Jumin accompanies Zen to his first pre-natal appointment. There they run some blood tests and scans to check if his body and the fetus are functioning normally. At the ultrasound, the sonographer managed to capture an image of the developing fetus. When the doctor asks if they would like to keep a copy of the ultrasound photo, Jumin immediately responded that they'll have one before Zen could say anything.
Another day, another successful party for the RFA. This time the party is held in tie with New Years celebration. They may no longer have V with them but the fundraising still continues in other forms and contributions. The RFA members gathered together after the party as requested by Jumin and Zen that morning. 'We have important news to share with you all, a joyful one.' Zen announces and then smiled at Jumin to gestures him to continue. Jumin takes a deep breath, he was as nervous as Zen. His arm has never left Zen's side ever since the party started. 'We are going to be parents!' The couple beamed when the other members screaming in surprise as they congratulated them.
Next, they break the news to Chief Han over dinner after the RFA party. The mood around the restaurant were tense and awkward. Chief Han is still not completely over with the humiliation Jumin has placed upon him on the Sarah Choi's arranged marriage scandal and he is definitely has not completely accept Zen as Jumin's spouse and his son-in-law. However, when he heard that Zen is pregnant, the immediate tension dissipates. Chief Han is obviously happy that they're going to have an heir soon.
Zen broke the news to his family side over the phone call at Jumin's urging. They had stayed in contact over the past three years. Zen was glad that somehow his family is readily to accept the news despite being traditional and conservative. His brother even offered some advices and invited him to visit his niece and nephew which he gladly accepts.

Cravings, weight gain & increasing waistline
As his morning sickness subsides, his cravings for certain food increases, sometimes in the middle of the night much to Jumin's exasperation. 'Jumin… Babe… Wake up. I'm hungry.' Zen shook Jumin awake. Jumin groggily yawn and stretches his body as he looks at the time. 'Hyun, it's 2am in the morning. You just had a tub of chocolate ice-cream after dinner and you're hungry already?' 'Well, it can't be helped that I'm eating for two!' 'Hyun… my love. You shouldn't be eating too much.' He tries to warn him. Zen pouts and his cheeks puffed, obviously angry that Jumin is not entertaining him request. 'You know what? It's fine. Let your wife and unborn child goes to sleep hungry then.' He rolls to his other side of the bed, his back now facing Jumin. Jumin sighed and gave in. 'Alright. What did you want this time?' Zen mumbled under the covers 'Bungeoppang (fish shaped bread with sweet red bean filling but it also comes with many different types of filling). The green tea filling or I'm not talking to you and let you touch me for a week.' Jumin is thankful for the existence of the 24 hours convenience store in his neighborhood as he gets ready to head out. He wrote it down in his note to put some consideration to investing into these convenience chain stores. Thirty minutes later, Jumin returned. 'I've got you all the flavors we could find.' Jumin bought different kinds of filling because it happened too often that Zen would suddenly change his mind. When Zen opens the bag, he was disappointed 'Babe, I'm really glad that you went all out to get them but I only wanted the ones with green tea filling. And it's not in here.' He rushed out to the stores again and bought the proper ones. He could have asked the securities on duty to look for them but Zen will be very unhappy with it. When Jumin returns again, he felt content with his efforts as he watches Zen happily munching on the fish shaped bread even though it was the red bean filling.
Several days later, Zen realized he couldn't fit into his tight-fitting clothes anymore. So he decided to wear his dance practice pants which accentuate his growing baby bump. Zen was exercising while practicing some dance moves when Jumin came into the practice room. 'I thought I might find you here.' says Jumin as he approaches Zen with a towel in hand. Zen gladly takes it to wipe his sweat. 'Thanks.' Jumin places his hands on Zen's hips and commented 'It's getting bigger and obvious.' 'Yeah, it's somehow made it not hard to believe anymore huh?' Hands still firm on his waist, Jumin kneel down and rest his head on the baby bump. Zen did not protest as they stayed in that position for some time to let him enjoy the moment. Jumin says 'We can't wait to see you soon, little one.' From then onwards, Jumin would lay his head on his growing abdomen every night when they go to bed.
Jumin decided to go all out for this year's Valentine's Day when he realized that this could be their last chance to celebrate it, just the two of them together. However his meticulous plans were disrupted when he had forgotten to put Zen's current wellbeing into consideration. After dinner, Jumin has planned for a short hike to see the starry sky but Zen were unable to climb further more than 10 steps. When he realizes his mistake he quickly apologies 'I'm so sorry, my love. I should have put more thoughts on your body's condition.' Zen squeezes his hands in Jumin's as he catches his breath. 'It's alright, babe. At least the candle dinner was amazing. Thanks for the flowers too. They are absolutely lovely.' Despite being unnoticeable under the thick coat, Zen's growing bump has reduced his mobility and even walking down the stairs felt like a feat. Zen gave him a quick peck on his cheek and smiled to dissipate his disappointment. Zen asks enthusiastically 'So where shall we go next?' Feeling guilty and a little better, Jumin looks around and found some seats not far from them. He carried Zen to an empty bench. As they cuddle each other for warmth in the cold wintry February night and look into the starry sky, Zen comments 'No matter where we go or where we are, I am happy as long as you're with me and I'm by your side. I love you, babe.' Jumin finally smiled again at Zen's remark as he let go of all the negative thoughts for a moment. 'Thanks for reminding me, Hyun. I promise again, we'll always have each other. I love you too, my beloved wife.' They then shared a passionate kiss under the beautiful meteor shower that night.

Heartbeat, movements & media
Zen is in the hospital with an appointment for his regular prenatal check ups. Jumin accompanies him again this time. As they waited for his turn, Zen says 'You really don't need to follow me here all the time, you know?' 'But I want to be with you every step of the way. Besides, you got an ultrasound screening today, right?' 'Well, yeah. It's only to check the heartbeat to see if its normal or not. It's no big deal.' 'Honey, you're missing the point here. We'll be hearing its heartbeat for the first time.'
It seems Jumin is more excited than Zen when they were in the ultrasound room. Obviously Zen doesn't like the ice cold gel applied on his abdomen as it makes him really uncomfortable. As an image of a fetus begin to form on the screen, a soft repeating heartbeat was heard as well. The sonographer listens attentively to the heart and took down some notes. Jumin as anxious as ever begun to ask questions after questions to the poor doctor who was trying to concentrate on the result board. Zen noticed the doctor's distress so he threatened Jumin with 'If you don't quiet down, I'll kick you out to the waiting room.'
The results were normal and the doctor commented that its growing normally and healthily. Before the sonographer puts away her equipment, she asks 'would you like to know its gender?' Immediately, Jumin said 'yes' but Zen said 'no' in unison. Jumin asks 'Why not? We'll know it sooner or later.' 'Because I want it to be a surprise. Besides, it doesn't really matter if it's a boy or a girl as long as it grows up healthily' Jumin respects Zen's opinion and decision not to know the baby's gender before its birth.
Zen had quietly taken a break from acting due to Jumin's insistence for some time now. The media took notice of his sudden disappearance from the spotlight and his frequent bouts to the hospital for his checkups due to the paparazzi. Usually they would pay no heed to the circulating tabloids and rumors but this time, it blew out of proportion. There were rumors of them getting a divorce with Zen having alcoholism and substance abuse hence the hospital visits and with Jumin being the abusive and negligent spouse. Zen was furious but Jumin could only laugh at the creativity and commented 'It's almost as if they could write a drama series out of this.' Zen retorted 'Well, but it's still not funny for them to write that!' In the midst of his complain, Zen suddenly stop talking. Jumin grew concerned when he noticed Zen draw a sharp breath and his eyes wide open. Jumin immediately went to his side. 'Are you alright?' Without answering, Zen lifted his shirt and grabs one of his hands and placed it on his growing abdomen. A short moment later, Jumin could feel a very soft tingling sensation under his touch. Zen asks 'Can you feel that?' 'Is that..?' Zen merely nods as Jumin hugs him closer and rests his head on the bump to feel and listen more of the life growing inside.
To appease Zen's anger, they held an official press conference. Zen stayed home while Jumin handles the journalists as he doesn't want Zen to receive more stress for his well-being. Aside from announcing that they're expecting an addition to their family, Jumin ends the presscon with 'And to the tabloids and any other media who had simply assume our relationship and situation, please be prepared for a lawsuit. That is all.' The media went abuzz over the news after the press con.
Zen was getting ready for yet another of his prenatal appointment when he stopped on his track to gaze on his own reflection in the mirror. A sudden warmth and a pair of arms interlock around his torso from his back startled him and broke his trance. Jumin whispers into his ears 'Hyun, I know you love your own reflection very much but if we don't go now we're gonna be late for your appointment.' Zen heaved a content sigh. 'But you also know that I love you more.' He gives his partner a peck on his cheek and stares back at their reflection as they stay in that blissful position a little longer. Zen suddenly had an idea and says 'Oh, right. I should take a picture of this. Say cheese.' As the Zen's camera phone shutters, Jumin smiled instantly albeit only for a second. After all these time living together, Jumin has developed a new habit to smile whenever Zen takes a selfie of them together. At first his smile was as though he was forced to but over the course of time, it becomes more natural.
On their way to the hospital, Zen busies himself by choosing a filter for the photo he took as Jumin watches watches by his side. Jumin comments 'Come to think of it. You never really shared any of our recent photos to the public lately.' Zen ponders for a moment. 'I think this picture perfectly sums up our current situation right now, don't you think?' Jumin takes a look at the picture again. 'I agree.' 'Should I upload this to our page?' 'You're the narcissists so you should know better.' Zen takes his words as a compliment. 'Alright then.'
Zen uploads the photo into the RFA group app with the caption 'On our way to the appointment. We can't wait to see you soon, little Han.' Soon, the post garnered some comments.
MC: Wow… We haven't been seeing you a lot lately. I can't believe you're that big now, Zen!
Jaehee: Congrats again, Zen and Mr. Han.
Yoosung: You both looked so happy, I',gonna cry.
Unknown: Why are you crying? You should cheer for them!
Yoosung: I know but I can't help it!
MC, Jaehee, Unknown: …
Jumin: Why do you call it 'little Han'?
MC: Jumin, it's not really appropriate to call your unborn child 'it'.
Jumin: Logically and grammatically speaking, since we're not sure of its gender due to Hyun's insistence.
Jaehee: I'm sorry to interrupt, Mr. Han. You just call your unborn child 'it' again and I agree with MC that it's not really appropriate.
Yoosung: I think we should think of a nickname for the baby for the time being.
Zen: I really don't appreciate referring our child as 'it'. He's yours too, you know? I used 'little Han' cuz your father is the senior Han and you're the junior Han.
MC: That's it. That will be a proper nickname!
707: Then little Han it is! Guys, I know this sounds really inappropriate but I have to say it or I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Unknown: Don't tell me…
Yoosung: What?
707: HE SHOOTS AND HE SCORES!
Yoosung: I don't get it…
Unknown: Hang on… I have a brother to murder…
Jaehee: SEVEN! Think about Yoosung here!
Jumin: Does that mean that I came inside Hyun and made him pregnant?
MC: TMI!
Yoosung: Oh… OHHHHH
Zen: … *Zen has left the chatroom*
That was the only time that Jumin gets Seven's jokes but it didn't end well for him as Zen forbids him to join the session and was forced to head back to the office.
-6th month-
Shopping, birthday & sex
Zen is out shopping with the MC and Jaehee in preparation for the incoming new family member. To avoid the tailing paparazzi, they had dressed him in a female maternity dress, let go of his long hair and wore a hat with sunglasses to cover most of his face. Jaehee commented that he looked like a regular pregnant lady but with more flair. Jumin has forbid Saeyoung but had requested Saeran to join them. He thinks that this may be the best way to let Saeran to mingle back into society.
After shopping for the necessities, they stop by a café for lunch. Zen was grateful as he finally gets to sit down and relax. His swelling and wobbly feet were aching. As he tries to ease himself by caressing his belly with the baby actively kicking his insides, he noticed Saeran has been watching him intensely. 'Would you like to touch and listen to it, Saeran?' Zen offered. Saeran was painfully shy. 'Is it really alright?' Zen nodded and takes one of his hands and places it on his abdomen. Saeran scoot closer and lay his head on Zen as he listens attentively. He was mesmerized as the baby is still actively moving around. They noticed the smile on Saeran's face for the first time on their outing today. Jaehee asks 'Zen, if it's alright with you, can I touch and listen to it too?' MC adds in 'Me three!' Zen laughed at their antiques. 'It's fine with me. But one at a time.'
The shopping part was just a distraction to take Zen out so Jumin and the rest can prepare Zen's birthday party at home. On their way back home, Zen felt dizzy. When he opens the door, everyone surprised him with a cake and some confettis 'Surprise! Happy Birthday, Zen.' Zen tries his best to smile and remain in composure but the dizziness overtook him. He fell down on the floor, fainted. When Zen woke up, he noticed he was on the hospital bed. Jumin was by his side the entire time, holding on to his hand. Zen noticed his voice trembling 'Hey honey. How are you feeling?' Zen tries to sit up, assisted by Jumin. 'Little better, I hope.' They have found out that Zen is anaemic when he had fainting spells way too often recently. The doctor had advised for an early delivery as it poses high risks of complications to Zen's body. But Zen was adamant to carry it to full term. 'I'm sorry I fainted on my own birthday party. You must have planned it so well.' 'Don't be. Besides, they're still here. Would you like to see them?' The fact that they're still waiting means Zen knew he had passed out not for long. 'Yes, of course. We still have a party to hold right?'
Sex during pregnancy is completely safe if everything is normal and Jumin definitely enjoys it more than usual much to Zen's chagrin. Most of his sensitive spots grew extra sensitive, as mere touches would send him moaning wanting for more. Jumin like this new revelation when he teases Zen in bed. 'I can't believe we're still doing this when my belly is this big.' Zen tries to suppress his moan when Jumin huskily reply into his ear 'Just entertain your husband this time. We won't be able to be this intimate for some time once you gave birth soon. Anyways, you really like it when I do this.' He blows into his ear. Zen gave in and let Jumin kisses him as he continue with his advances.

Fears, nightmares & lullaby (add sesame Street theme)
'It's because you're still young. Just tell me when you get lonely. I'll comfort you real well so that you're not.' Jumin gasps and was panting in his breath when he woke up from the bad dream. A soft tug on his arm, a worried face and a question of 'Are you alright babe?' Jumin knew Zen has seen him struggling in his sleep with the nightmare. 'Yeah, I'm fine. Did I wake you up?' Zen shook his head. 'I was awake for some time before you.' Reading his sad expression, Zen must have a nightmare as well. Jumin guessed it must be something from his childhood too as it made Zen really upset. They both still have nightmares of their past from time to time. Sometimes they would stay awake and talk about it until the sun rises. It greatly helped both parties to be more open and provide comfort on each other.
But for tonight, they decided to just lie in each other's embrace. Zen lies in position where he is on his side, his baby bump next to Jumin's waist. It was the most comfortable position for Zen as it eases on his aching back and swelling limbs. However, it was not comfortable for Jumin but he didn't complain. Zen voices his concern 'Jumin, do you think we'll be good parents?' 'I had the same question running in my mind as well.' Zen lifted his head to look at him in the eyes. 'Really?' 'We're not them. Our parents aren't exactly a good role model and example to look up to but if we can do the exact opposite…' Zen continues his sentence 'Then we might be able to do better than them, right?' Jumin smiled as they both share the same concerns and ideas. 'There's a possibility, honey.' He kisses Zen's forehead and adds on 'Now try to go to sleep, Hyun.' Zen groaned 'But I'm still quite wide awake. Can you sing me a lullaby?' 'You're not trying to ask me to sing one for you or anything ridiculous as that, are you?' 'Oh come on, it's just a lullaby.' Jumin sighed and admitted 'To be honest, I've never had anyone to sing me a lullaby to sleep when I was young so I don't know any.' Zen immediately regrets his request but he tries to lighten up the mood. 'Well then, I'll sing for both us to sleep alright?' Zen clears his throat and start singing in a soft tune.
Good night my baby~
The birds and baby lamb are sleeping~
On your front yard~
The moon is singing you to sleep~
Good night my baby~
They both fell back to slumber soon after with better dreams.

Anniversary, Baby shower & naming
Zen only wanted to host a tea-party to meet with his friends but MC was firm on making it a baby shower. Teaming up with Jaehee, they planned an elaborate baby shower with the RFA members. Jumin tries to avoid it saying its a waste of his energy but Jaehee made sure to have his schedule cleared for that day. The guests came bearing gifts. Yoosung gave a gift set complete with a yellow baby clothes. Jaehee gave a box of toys. MC gave a stroller. Saeran gave a few pairs of cute shoes. However, Saeyoung wants to be creative. He gave a book titled 'HTML for babies' reasoning that if the baby is indeed Jumin's, the baby would be a good hacker as he is.
As the party is coming to an end, MC decided that it's time for the final game called 'Mommy's and Daddy's Secrets'. Before the party started, MC had gave Zen a list of questions to be answered when Jumin wasn't around. She took out the answered lists and asks Jumin to guess what Zen could have answered. Jumin feels exasperated 'Do I really need to waste my time and energy on this?'
MC pouts 'You're such a party-pooper, Jumin.'
Jaehee figured 'Zen would like to hear your answer too. Isn't it right, Zen?'
Zen's ears are evidently red from embarrassment as the questions were mostly about his personal stuff. But he was glad that Jumin managed to answer them correctly. As they go down to the final question, MC asks 'What would be the baby's name?' Jumin was startled by the question. 'Hyun, have you figured a name already?' Zen shook his head. 'I left it empty as I thought you would like to figure out a name for our child. Have you?' Jumin sighed. 'Obviously I've thought about it. But I won't reveal it until we know the gender when it was born.'
It's their 3rd year wedding anniversary. In the previous years, they would make a day trip to Jumin's private vineyard and spend the night in the private cottage just the two of them together at the farm or a picnic at the garden in the morning, a day trip to the theme park and then a fancy evening romantic dinner before returning home. But for this year, they decided to just stay home. Zen has been mostly bedridden with more frequent episodes of passing out and the extreme pain in his lower abdomen as the baby grows to its full term. He also began to feel more contraction even in his sleep, causing him to be extremely moody when he lacks proper sleeping hours. Due to this, Jumin personally hired a professional massage therapists to learn some basic massage from.
'Good morning, my dearest love.' Jumin smiled trying to lighten the mood but Zen is feeling extremely groggy. 'Morning, babe.' Zen groaned as he tries to withstand the pain of his entire being while Jumin lightly massages his aching back. Zen moaned softly in satisfaction when the muscles relaxed, easing the pain. 'You stay in bed. I'll go get us some breakfast.' He places a kiss on his forehead and left.
Jumin stood by and watch Zen gobble up his food. He cleans up after he's done eating. 'Is there anything else that you need?' Zen got annoyed at Jumin's behavior. 'Yes. Could you please stop acting like a butler? You're my husband, dammit.' 'Sorry. I thought I'd like to pamper you more today.' Zen blushed. 'Then come to bed and give me a cuddle. Please?' 'Yes, my lovely wife.' Jumin removes the pillows Zen has been using as his back support and sat there, embracing Zen from the back as he leans on him. 'Better?' 'Mmm, much better.' Leaning on Jumin was much more comfortable than the pillows. 'Are we really just gonna stay in bed the whole day today?' Jumin asked as he caress Zen's large bulging baby bump. 'Yes, is there a problem?' 'I think it would do you some good if we can take a walk later today.' Zen ponders for a while. 'Sounds like a good plan.' But for now, Zen just want to stay in bed, enjoying the kisses, attention and affections that Jumin is showering him with.

Labour
Zen was taking a stroll at the indoor garden nearby the penthouse with MC when he felt a sharp pain of contraction. He immediately fell on his knee. MC quickly called for the security. On their way the hospital, MC has tried to call Jumin several times only for him to quickly hang up after saying 'I'm in meeting. I'll call you later.' Having no other feasible options, she decided to call Jaehee.
Jumin was in the middle of an important meeting with all the Head of Departments when Jaehee shifted quietly to his side. 'Mr. Han, I have an urgent news I need to inform you.' As Jumin tries to concentrate on the fashion department's presentation, 'Not now, Assistant Kang. Can't it wait until the meeting is over?' 'But Mr. Han, this far more important than what the bald man is blabbering about. If we waited until the meeting is over, Zen would have never forgive you for missing out the delivery.' It took him some time before he registered what Jaehee said in the last sentence. 'Wait. You mean Hyun is in labour right now?' Jumin asks in an outburst causing the entire HoDs to stare at him. 'Yes, Mr. Han. I've already asked Driver Kim to be on standby to bring you to the hospital as soon as possible.' 'Thanks, Miss Kang. Please come to the hospital as soon as you wrap this up and call everyone. Hyun would be pleased to see you all there.' He turns to the rest of the meeting board 'This meeting is postponed until further notice.' Jaehee could swear that she saw Jumin smiled as he hurriedly walk out of the meeting room.
Zen was wheeled into the labour room for a Cesarean operation as planned. His vitals are weak so is the baby's. The surgeons had no choice but to cut him open before the anesthesia could fully block his nerves. As he trash and screamed, Jumin entered the room in a scrub and held his hand. Before he could say anything, Zen cussed at him 'Han Jumin! Where the fuck have you been?' 'I'm sorry, Hyun. I came as soon as I can.' 'You better be fucking sorry because I'm gonn- ARRRGH' Another contraction. Jumin winced in pain when Zen tightens his grip on his hand. He tries to talk to Zen to calm him down but was abused with vulgarities instead.
A few hours later, a high-pitched baby's wail filled the room. Zen tries to fight off the drowsiness consuming him as he catches his breath. 'Congratulations, it's a boy!' The nurse announces as she passes it to Zen. He smiled in content when he gets to see and hold their bundle of joy, the fruit of their love. His skin is still wrinkly and red. Zen caresses his black hair when he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of red orbs. 'You're just what I imagined you to be.' 'He's beautiful.' 'Would you like to hold him?' Zen extends his arm in an offer while Jumin carefully hold the newborn with his two large hands. 'Welcome to the world, Ju-Ryung. We promise to be the best parents and love you no matter what.'
Zen has passed out, giving in to the tiredness consuming him and the effects of anesthesia finally kicking in. 'You have done well. Rest well, my love. I love you' Jumin kiss pecks on Zen's forehead before leaving the labour room with Ju-Ryung to introduce him to the gathered RFA members.
