After the whole even Yixing decided and straightly went to junmyeon's apartment.

He knew brunet did not like the idea of him daily coming into his house however it was his great idea for buying the next door apartment besides junmyeon,  sort of excuse.

"Coming!"

Junmyeon opened the Door, the person stood infront made junmyeon's facial expression annoyed.

"You!"

But before one could talk , He did not waited for anything and closed the door harshly.

Junmyeon frowned when he couldn't closed the door properly ; Suddenly he heard a painful groan from outside.

He quickly opened the door, only to see yixing still standing outside, his face whole red; somewhat showing he is in pain.  While one hand still on the door wall.

"Who told you to suddenly reach out your hand?" Junmyeon cursed, a feeling guilty waved inside his heart.

"But you deserve it." He whispered the last part.

Yixing didn't speak anything, but it could be seen that he was suppressing the pain in his hand.

Junmyeon could sense that he'll soon cry if it's not treated.

He pursed his lips, with a little apology in his heart, and finally sighed: "Come in, I will handle it for you."

He opened the door wide.

Upon hearing this, yixing directly walked inside the hall and sat down quietly on the sofa.

Bubble who was silent all the time. Peacefully, lying down in its cat's nest and playing with its tail. Seeing yixing instantly lighten up.

He immediately stood up, walked towards yixing and half sat down like a little tiger in his lap.

He stared at yixing with his two round eyes, and meowed.

Yixing seemed to understand what Bubble meant to say.

He reached out and pet his head

"I forgot to bring you a fish today."

"Meow~" the cat sounds displeased.

He continued to play with bubble meanwhile junmyeon came few mintues later with a box in his hand.

"Give me your hand." He sat slumped next to yixing.

Yixing obediently stretched out his hand.

His fingers were clamped very hard, and several of the fingers with distinct joints were swollen and had red marks. There were a few small places where blood oozed slightly from the skin.

Junmyeon stared at his hands, imagine how painful it could be.

He took out ointment and slowly started to apply on wounds.

"Hss-"

Yixing hissed when medicine touched his skin. It felt like a fire burning live on his fingers.

"Who Told You act like idiot huh?" Junmyeon fuming eyes stared him angrily.

Yixing was ready to hear a lecture however to his surprise he saw a tear ran down his cheeks.

Wait.

Junmyeon is crying?

Yixing panicked and his another hand tried to reached out junmyeon face but brunet immediately backed up.

"That's pregnancy hormones, shut up!

I'm not crying for you." The pregnant male stated, ignoring the confused look raven giving him.

Yixing slightly nodded and let junmyeon do his work.

But his gaze were still on him. Noting every changes he could differentiate before and nows.

Before he got pregnant, junmyeon use to be thin but now he's little fat, not too much but now his bluging belly is easily visible and there is effect on his health as well. 
Cheeks are like always red but now they're seems to be like bunnies when they swallow any food. Well he could eat those cheeks soon only if he got permission.
His nose is little swell obviously due to pregnancy but whatever, junmyeon looks still cute as he was before.

How can he not noticed that?

Junmyeon noticed yixing's gaze from the corner of his eye, and turned his head fiercely.

"Why are you staring me like that?"

"Because I loved the view."

Junmyeon pouted angrily and packed up all things in aid kit.

"Tomorrow you've appointment right? Let's go together then I'll head to mall for shopping."

"Huh?"

"I'll take you to the hospital," Yixing's voice was rough and deep, "routine check-up."

Then after junmyeon remembered it correctly he has doctor's appointment tomorrow.  He nearly forgotten but yixing remind him.

Wait. How yixing knows?

"How you know?"

"That does not matter."

"Hey!" He thrown his hands on yixing.

Minseok told him last time that they'll acknowledge the baby's gender this time.
Yes, he is little excited. Likewise other father too.

"You, a big CEO, who has to deal and meet many people, howcome you remember, huh? Anyways you must be busy like always.  So no need to accompany me. I can take care of myself. " Junmyeon spoke.

Yixing's eyes were fixed on junmyeon, "I told you, I'll accompany you."

"I told you, I really don't need you to accompany me."

Junmyeon growled.

Although he went to the hospital and looked at those sweet, happy faces of those couples, acting lovey-dovey, who came for check-ups; he always felt a little envious and sad, but he knew and accepted the reality of living alone.

However he still did not withstand with yixing yet. So no. Though he wanted to witness same like happy couples, he is not ready with yixing, who made his life hell.

"I am the father of this child, i do take it's responsibility" Yixing insisted.

"I took day off tomorrow. So be ready. I'll take you to the hospital." 

"Whatever you want."

Junmyeon huffed and threw glare at Yixing in annoyance.

"Close the door when you leave. Apply cold compress to the injury on your hand for half an hour and then apply some medicine yourself. Don't press too hard, or it will be more painful."

Saying this junmyeon stood up and ready to leave into his bedroom

Unexpectedly yixing held his hand, "Are you hungry?"

Junmyeon frowned, as if he didn't understand what yixing was saying: "What did you say?"

"I asked, if you are hungry." Yixing repeat.

"It's none of your business whether I'm hungry or not?"

"Well... i heard Pregnant people often feel hungry or crave for something. Are you hungry? I'll buy you something to eat or Let's go together." Yixing completed himself.

He read somewhere this note and he suddenly remembered it. He could feel, junmyeon might be starving himself cuz he could not go to those places which are away from city. So he got an idea to send tao and order him bring whatever junmyeon and baby wanted.

In the end of the day, junmyeon's health is most important.

Junmyeon withdrew his hand, "No need."

After saying that, he walked to the bedroom coldly. And slammed the door shut.

Junmyeon leaned against the door and sighed heavily.

It's hard to digest the fact that now yixing started to take care of him. Which is....slightly uncomfortable and unexpected.

He could not yet believe his ears that yixing, who never remember his birthday, remembered the small detail about pregnancy.

Not to mention  but ,Yes ,he is hungry.

But whatever he could not relay of yixing forever. As soon as baby will born, he'll leave him.

He changed into comfortable pajama, and just as he was about to wash up, there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and found yixing standing outside.

He must have just come back from outside, junmyeon thought. Because he could easily see his face flushed red due to cold,abit of chill on his body while breath shallow.

 He handed him bag "I just bought it, eat it while it's hot."

Junmyeon raised his eyes and saw a lot of snowflakes on his hair.

"Is it snowing outside?"

"Yes." Yixing nodded.

Junmyeon silently took bag in one hand and dust his hairs to remove snowflakes.

Yixing let him do whatever he is doing.

When junmyeon was done. Yixing stepped back and turned off the lights of the living room for him, closed the door and went back to his room next door.

Junmyeon walked to the window and opened the curtains.

There wasn't a single evidence of snow when he came back from cafe but now half of the city is covered in snow. He didn't expect snow coming heavily just a few hours later.

The beautiful city suddenly turned completely white under the falling snow. The lights and traffic seemed to become quieter as there not many people around.

The whole area seems to be quite peaceful.

Just sat by near the window and hesitatedly reaching out taking a container out of the bag.

They are all light and easy to digest food, as well as some fruits.

He smiled to himself, he use to love this type of yixing.

Loving and caring.

His sincere smile changed into bitter one.

Yixing must be afraid that he will starve the Zhang family's next heir in his stomach. Maybe that's why he is so careful now.

On normal days, when he was hungry, yixing use to ignore his request.

When can you get such good treatment? Only if you're carry something precious.

Yixing returned to his room and closed the door.

The whole apartment is very quiet, except for the sound of him moving around. 

For a moment, yixing felt that the room Seems to be very uncomfortably quiet, so he turned on the TV, opened a channel at random, and let the sound of the TV drive away the dead silence in the room.

However it does not work either.

It seems to have no life yet.

He exhale heavily and sat down on the sofa, glancing at the book on the wooden coffee table.

Ever since the he found out that junmyeon is pregnant with his child, he tried to look and learn how to take care of the carriers. Since he is not professional yet on this topic but yixing is trying to learn new about pregnancy on a daily basis.

Atleast, he could help junmyeon in other way around.

He stretched out his hand and opened the place where is felt previously and the started to read it. 

Time went fast before he realized only few pages are remain to complete.

Yixing put book back and raised his head. The snow outside falling even harder. He remind himself to give junmyeon thicker layer clothes, just in case of catching cold.

Yixing shut his eyes to rest abit.

The room was well heated, so it didn't feel cold at all. The bed is also very big, definitely enough for one person to sleep on. Yixing tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep.

This bed is so big that sleeping alone on it makes hjm feel a little lonely.

Unexpectedly it remind of junmyeon.

Who used to sleep beside him every night past 7 years.

He chuckled lightly.

Who thought that a day will come when he'll realized how big idiot he was and now how much he needed junmyeon.

Junmyeon's pregnancy was totally  shocking for him, honestly.  He didn't believe it at first, but when he saw all results from his own eyes, he could not set his mind properly. It took him a while to digest the news.

But that's wasn't enough.

The people who did tried to kill junmyeon and what was there original purpose,  was one of the most difficult task he found.
If they might have not be arrested,  junmyeon's life could be left in danger. That's the one messed up situation.

But accepting the fact that he'll be soon to be father and expecting a child of a blood of his and his ex, messing up the situation more.

To be accurate, he was messed up from every side.

It was unexpected, even for him that howcome he managed untill here without making wrong till now. According to him.

He knew that he should take the responsibilities of the child and a carrier, and he really tried to do so. Then it doesn't matter if it's his ex or someone. He'll try to love it, in any ways.

The heavy snow outside the window covered the window and also almost whole street, everything turns into white beauty. Their unborn baby's first snow , to be exact.

In the bedroom, yixing burried himself inside blanket completely and forced himself to close his eyes and sleep.

But there's dull feeling lingered inside his heart.

Accepting reality and specially knowing it outcomes will be fruitful; the thought of future is unmanageable to express.
