Chapter 6
Disclaimer-I own nothing!
Saeyoung and MC just looked at each other before they looked over at Saeran.
"What?" Saeyoung had to ask his brother to repeat what he said for he thought he was hearing things.
"You're joking right?" Realizing his brother was serious right now Saeran just sighed and dropped his head, ashamed he was related to the other. "It's a known fact that twins are more likely to have twins. It's almost genetic."
"I thought chances were higher if we came from twins. Like if our parents were or something."
"Who knows, they might be." Saeran just shrugged not really knowing much about their father. Their mother always said he was powerful and could take them away if they went outside but he really didn't know anything else. He didn't even know much about their mother. It wasn't like he cared enough to ask and it wasn't like they saw others around the house. Saeyoung looked over at MC quickly before looking down at her stomach. This was something he was not ready for. MC watched as Saeyoung's mind was turning, she could smell his panic. Watching him quickly get up and brush himself off he looked over at his wife and brother.
"Well…it's late, I'm exhausted from today; I am going to bed." Before either of them could say anything he was out of the room and you could hear him close their bedroom door.
"I'm sorry MC. I didn't mean to start trouble. It was just something that seemed obvious to me." Saeran felt bad for opening his mouth though he couldn't believe his brother was starting to panic, or that the thought never crossed his mind.
"No need to feel sorry. We will find out tomorrow for sure I guess. And, well, the thought occurred to me too. I was with you; I figured he would have realized the chance already." Getting up she knew she should go talk to him. "Good night Saeran. Pleasant dreams." Kissing his cheek she left the living room to notice their bedroom door was open. Going to the workshop she figured he would be here. This was his man cave after all. Seeing the door closed but light coming through the bottom she opened it to see him tinkering with scrap pieces. "Babe? Do you want to talk?"
Hearing her voice his head snapped up from what he was working on. He was definitely worried, usually he didn't look up from his projects when she talked to him.
"I'm alright. Why wouldn't I be? Just realized I had a few things to finish before tomorrow." Going back to what he was working on he loved the feel of the metal and wires in his hands. Nothing brought him more peace than when he was working. It didn't have to be anything fancy for his body to be happy. Feeling MC put her arms around her he stopped what he was doing.
"I get why you would be worried. But, I think it will be okay. Unless it is something else that you are worried about."
"I'm not hiding anything from you I promise." Pulling her around him he had her sit on his lap. "Just excited and nervous I think. But, it's hard to explain I guess." Giving her lips another kiss MC could feel something was definitely on his mind. Maybe it was just the prospect of fatherhood. He had mentioned that he used to look up to V as a father figure but then everything happened and he learned the truth of his death. He became so conflicted during that time and how to proceed and feel that he had told her he felt so alone. She knew he could have talked to the other members but they didn't know the truth so he had no one to confide in but her. She knew her family loved him and was there for him but that wouldn't replace what he lost.
"I promise you Saeyoung. You are going to be the most amazing father this world has ever known. And even if it's tough with twins we will manage because we have each other." Placing her head on his shoulder she softly spoke in his ear making him pull her tighter to his body. It seemed she found what was bothering him.
The next morning the boys had gone off to the shop leaving MC to finish up some things around the house. She could have gone with them as she usually did but she noticed she really needed to do laundry and the house could use some light cleaning. Hearing Robot Cat behind her playing the radio as she requested she felt she accomplished a lot before her appointment. Her ultimate goal was to keep doing what she was doing just making some modifications so she wouldn't harm the child, the last thing she wanted was for Saeran to pick up her slack. She would never ask him too of course but she noticed he always felt inclined to do more when she was unable. She learned this right before the last party when she was so busy getting the last things in place with Jaehee and Jumin. Saeran stayed quietly in the background making sure there was food made for her to just eat and that the house didn't look like a disaster. They both knew Saeyoung should have been the one to do those things but he was usually busy working or the reason the house looked a mess. After she lifted her head from the toilet for the tenth time today she stopped to think about that. Perhaps Saeran felt he couldn't really leave here. Maybe the situation was reversed and he was really looking after for Saeyoung instead of Saeyoung looking after him.
Getting picked up for her appointment, MC could tell Saeyoung was still nervous about things. She expected it though, first time parents were always nervous about things. She wasn't a genius but she knew that much. Placing her hand on top of his while it rested on the gear shift she tried to get him to relax. It didn't take long to be seen after all the paperwork was filled out and the preliminary screening was done so she could have a chart made. Laying back once the doctor came in she looked over at Saeyoung and smiled, she could tell he was a bunch of emotions right now, scared and excited seemed to be the two most obvious ones though. Honestly, she was too. She knew twins could be a handful as it was and then you had the fact that Saeyoung was the father, but, she wasn't going to start panicking because they didn't know if it was twins or not.
Watching the monitor as the ultrasound took place MC could feel Saeyoung squeeze her hand tighter. Looking over she could see his eyes were glistening, he was excited. That was what she wanted to see from him. She knew this both a scary and exciting time but she wanted them to enjoy the coming months as much as they could.
"Well congratulations MC, you are nine weeks pregnant." Hearing the doctor speak both looked up from each other and back over to the screen.
"And so far everything looks good?"
"Yes. I don't see any signs of growth problems and your numbers are looking good." Both looked back at each other with smiles on their faces before they looked back at the doctor when they heard the words, "there is one thing though."
Saeyoung held the shop door open for MC as they came back from her appointment. Hearing the chime go off Saeran looked up too see them in the doorway. He was glad they were back because he really hated running the shop.
"How did it go?" He asked as he fixed a shelf arrangement. Seeing them both look at each other and MC half smile he already knew. "I'm really not surprised. And you shouldn't be either Saeyoung. We are identical twins it's going to be more common for us. They are identical too right?"
"That's what it looks like." Saying nothing more he went to the back to get to work. MC sat behind the counter to pull up the sales for the day and do some basic daily accounting.
"He is terrified and maybe I'm just a horrible wife but, I think it's cute." She said with a small chuckle. She knew there was something specific though that was getting to him though he wouldn't say what it was. They didn't say anything more on the subject as a customer walked in and they did what they had to do.
That night MC was already half asleep when she felt Saeyoung finally come to bed. Feeling his body slid in behind her, her eyes opened as he pulled her closer to him. Shutting them again she had a smile on her face. No matter what he was worried about they would work together on it, maybe it was a shared fear, or maybe it had something to do with his past. Either way their love for each other and their coming future would help them be the best parents they could be. And they weren't alone with their concerns they were sure. While their friends weren't parents they knew they could go to them for advice or to talk to them if they just needed to vent. Everything would be okay she was sure of it.
