jungkook sighed when he arrived home at four in the morning. he was going to sleep and waking up in two hours to go back.
he walked to the bathroom and saw the positive pregnancy test, making his heart beat faster as his brain connected the dots as best as they could with so little sleep.
he picked it up and went to the bedroom where namjoon was, immediately turning on the lights and beginning to speak, "you're pregnant?" he asked in a harsh tone, but he probably wouldn't be able to keep if up for long because of how tired he was.
namjoon stirred, rubbing his eyes and sitting up in bed. "huh? i didn't hear you" he sleepily mumbled, "the pregnancy test in the bathroom. is it yours?" he asked, the neurologist nodded and pulled his knees to his chest.
"kim namjoon, you can't be pregnant" the man groaned a hit, "you must be cheating on me" the cardiologist spoke, too tired and exhausted to process anything at this time, "i'm not cheating on you, even if i wanted to, i don't have the time considering i'm the sole caretaker of the kids since you're always at work" namjoon spoke, not being able to believe the conversation they were having at four in the morning.
"we can't have another baby. i'm so close to being chief of cardiology and this baby is going to ruin it for me. why'd you have to be pregnant? i don't think the baby is even mine" jungkook began crying. maybe it was the fact he hadn't slept more than four consecutive hours or how he was so overwhelmed with work that his brain felt like a physical file patient information system that made this his final straw.
"how could it not be yours? are you being serious?" namjoon scoffed, feeling his heart break as jungkook accused him of such things.
jungkook just cried. he didn't know what else there was to do.
"what are we going to do?" namjoon mumbled, leaning on to his side to not have to face his husband, "abort, what else are we going to do?" the cardiologist asked, "we could keep the baby"
"we can't. i've worked so hard to be chief of cardiology. you can't ruin this for me" he scoffed, flopping on the bed and pinching the skin between his eyebrows, "no one has to know i'm pregnant, we don't have to announce it to the whole hospital" namjoon spoke, earning a groan from his husband.
"people are going to know whether we tell them or not. it's not going to take long for the chief of cardiology to know and stop considering me to take his role" jungkook explained, but it sounded like he was shouting at the man.
namjoon was honestly in shock that the man he loved was speaking to him in this manner. maybe it was the pregnancy hormones, but he began sobbing uncontrollably.
he left the room and locked himself in the bathroom until he stopped crying, then going to sleep on the floor of yuna's bedroom.

"appa?" yuna mumbled seeing the man on her moon-shaped carpet. he sat up and rubbed his eyes, "what?" he sleepily asked, "sungmin and sunghoon are crying"
he jumped up and raced to his shared room where his babies were crying. he felt horrible that they had been alone, "appa's here" he reassured, picking both of them up.
it was hard to deal with the twins and yuna by himself. their babies were growing up and it was namjoon's job to keep up with their milestones and make sure they were healthy and happy.
he hated feeling alone.
"papa?" sunghoon sniffed, letting namjoon sit him up in bed, "papa is at work" namjoon explained to his baby, "banana" sungmin babbled, "i'll make sure to get bananas" the neurologist said before going to make food for his babies.

"drive slower" yoongi whined as taehyung pulled out of the hospital parking lot, "baby, i'm going 4 miles per hour" taehyung sighed, looking at his rearview mirror to watch yoongi's expression.
the man was looking at their baby girl and caressing her soft features, "i don't want her to wake up. she looks so pretty sleeping" yoongi frowned, earning a small smile from taehyung who began driving at a normal pace, "she's going to be okay if we drive normally" he reassured.
"do you think she's warm enough?" yoongi worriedly asked, they had a wintertime baby and she had a puffy jacket on and a blanket on her.
"yes, baby. don't worry" taehyung spoke, stopping at a red light. yoongi adjusted the little girl's tiny mittens and her hat to make sure she was warm.

suddenly, kim namjoon felt like he 19 years old again and married to the woman who would have his baby in a matter of months.
it was a loveless marriage and he knew it from the beginning. he knew it the moment the woman accused him of poking holes in their condoms and was reminded of it again when she threatened to leave without him knowing his baby.
he remembered loving her even if she didn't love him. she carried his baby and that was enough for him to love her.
namjoon ate his yogurt in his work office while remembering that. gosh, he loved jungkook even if right now it felt like the man didn't love him back.
—
"she's the cutest" yoongi smiled a bit as they admired her in her crib, "she is" taehyung spoke, taking a picture of his baby girl. the psychiatrist sat in a rocking chair in the room, "i can't believe she's here"
taehyung hummed, "me neither" he spoke, the baby began crying. the cardiologist was quick to pick her up and rock her in his arms, pressing her against his chest.
"i'm going to make her a bottle" yoongi softly said, lightly patting his boyfriend's back.
—
yuna sat on a kitchen counter as her father made the twins a snack after daycare, "why were you in my room today?" she asked, making namjoon sigh a little bit.
"i fought with jungkook" he shamefully admitted and bit the inside of his mouth, "when? i didn't see him" she spoke, "at four in the morning" he said, not even sure if he should be telling his daughter these things, "oh, what did you guys fight about?" yuna asked with a worried expression.
"it's not that important" he said, plating some banans on the twins' plates, yuna frowned and pulled her knees to her chest, "then, why did you sleep in my room?" she asked him, "i didn't want to see him, but we're fine" he reassured.
yuna hummed, but didn't say anything. she watched the man serve the babies before turning to her, "what do you want for snack?" he asked, earning a hum, "i'll just have a banana"
he nodded and handed her that before going to watch the twins.

"everything in here is a choking hazard" yoongi mumbled, not sure why he was suddenly over analyzing every single thing in his daughter's bedroom and why everything seemed dangerous.
the light bulbs were too big, her puffy jacket was too puffy, her mittens were too hot, her bed was too high. he looked at his significant other to see if he was looking at the same things, but he wasn't. taehyung was gently rocking hyewon to make her sleep.
"i don't see any choking hazards" taehyung said, but yoongi began looking through all of the little girl's things. taehyung raised a brow at the behavior, "calm down. she's not going to choke" the cardiologist tried to reassure, gently setting hyewon in her crib.
"this shirt is too thick. we should throw it out" the small one mumbled, "it's fine" taehyung said, wrapping his arms around his lover and hugging him tight to reassure him it would be okay.
—
namjoon placed a hand on his stomach and watched something on his laptop while the twins slept and yuna did her homework.
"what if i kept you without jungkookie knowing?" he wondered out loud, "i'd wear hoodies and sweatshirts, that way he wouldn't know" he softly said, rubbing his stomach.
"if i did that, who would go to all my appointments and blood draws with me?" the neurologist frowned, sighing as he thought about what to do.
technically, jungkook didn't have the final say because it wasn't his body. however, namjoon would feel incredibly guilty if jungkook didn't become chief of cardiology because of him.
he felt nauseous as he thought about it, deciding to take some time to think about it.

"i made some burritos with chicken. i can make you one with ground beef if you want" taehyung spoke as he plated food for him and yoongi.
yoongi shook his head, "i'm feeling nauseous, i don't want to eat" he spoke, taehyung hummed and tilted his head, "what's wrong?" he gently asked, "i can't stop worrying about hyewon" the psychiatrist answered, taehyung turned the baby monitor to face yoongi.
"she's fine. you don't have to worry" he reassured him, "i know, but what if the stupid thing is lying? have you not seen all those stories of babies who die from sudden infant death syndrome?" he worriedly asked, "yes, so we bought her the monitoring sock that tells us her oxygen and her heart rate" taehyung spoke, earning a sigh from yoongi.
"are you seriously not as worried as me?" he asked, "i do worry, just not like that" taehyung spoke and served yoongi some food, "i'll check on our baby. how about you eat a bit?"
yoongi nodded, staring at the food for a bit before he began feeling his head pulse. he followed taehyung into the bedroom and sighed, "my head hurts. i can't stop worrying"
taehyung frowned, kissing his head, "she's safe and healthy. don't you see how much of a cutie she is?" he smiled a bit. yoongi looked at her and nodded. "she's the cutest baby ever"
"exactly. let's only worry about real concerns like how much she eats and her sleep" he spoke, earning a nod from yoongi.
—
taehyung moved around in bed when he couldn't feel yoongi next to him. he sighed, putting on his glasses and going to go find him.
yoongi was sitting in hyewon's nursery, just watching her as she slept, "baby, go back to bed" the cardiologist whispered and rubbed his eyes as he tried to get the man to bed, "i want to watch her" yoongi mumbled, a small yawn leaving his mouth.
"she's not crying. she's sleeping, just like you should be" taehyung spoke, earning a frown from his boyfriend, "what if she needs me?" yoongi asked, "then, she'll cry. you need to rest" the taller one explained, lifting yoongi off his feet and walking to their bedroom.
"let me go" yoongi quietly huffed, but secretly blushing at the fact taehyung could lift him. he didn't think that was possible, "nope" taehyung said before setting him on their bed.
yoongi sighed, "i need to watch her. i feel like i'm going to throw up" he frowned, "breathe. she's fine" taehyung reassured, rubbing the man's back and hugging him tight.

namjoon was shocked to see jungkook home at 12 in the morning instead of 4 in the morning. he made quick eye contact with him before looking away.
jungkook laid on the couch and groaned, "can you get me something to eat?" he asked his husband, "i didn't cook" namjoon answered, "so, you're just feeding the kids junk?"
the neurologist sighed, "i don't want to fight. i've had enough crap from you" he spoke as he wiped the counters. yuna had baked cookies and left a mess.
"i'm just saying" jungkook said, "if you can spend twenty hours at work, you can spend thirty minutes making your own meal" namjoon said, earning a sigh from jungkook who approached the kitchen.
the man looked horribly tired. his eye bags were huge and dark and his face was breaking out everywhere. namjoon was worried, but knew that bringing it up would just result in another argument.
he went to bed and hoped that jungkook would be okay even though the man was being horrible to him. the smallest things at home would set jungkook off and there wasn't much he could do without starting a fight.
—
stay safe and healthy! drink water and eat some food! sorry for any mistakes, i love you all! qotd: do you think taehyung is being too nonchalant about yoongi's anxiety regarding hyewon?? do you think namjoon should be able to keep the baby without jungkook knowing??
