Standing in the boardroom at the head of the table, Dahyun thought of that "damage control" speech Jiyong had spelled out. And she couldn't give it.

If Dahyun wanted to win her wife back, it had to start now, even when she wasn't around to hear what she was saying. "Mr. Lim, while I value having you here giving us your time of the day, there's nothing more important than Sana and our baby."

Lim Yesung, Dispatch's CEO, rocked back in the leather chair, his eyes narrowed, inscrutable. "Do you realize, Dahyun-ssi, that we have phone conversations that prove the opposite?"

A gasp sounded from across the room.

Dahyun's jaw clenched. She could see how the expressions' on her bosses' faces darkened. They were being cornered by the media, just like they warned her since the beggining.

"You've been lying to the public, Dahyun-ssi." Yisung leaned closer on the table, all eyes on him. "You had a shotgun wedding because you got a stranger woman pregnant. Isn't it?"

There was silence. Mr Kang cleared his throat. "What can we do to prevent you from publishing it?"

Yisung looked at him, and grabbed a pen and paper. He handed Mr Kang the paper with an amount written on it. That's how much it would cost to keep it a secret.

Mr Kang sees it, gritting his teeth. "This is too much money."

"If you want your star's career to be unharmed then this is what it costs. This is how we operate." Yisung responded dryly.

Mr Kang and all JYP Ent excecutives had serious faces. They were upset. After all the money they have invested in Dahyun's career, all being tarnished by one mistake, one irresponsability, because they know well the public take one tiny thing and make it big enough to take down any star, and Kim Dahyun wouldn't be the exception.

Mr Kang looked at her, furious. If she only had followed his advice, if she only had persuaded Sana to go to america and terminate the pregnancy.. All those thoughts were rushing in the man's head.

Dahyun was pivoted fast and found...

...then there was Sana standing in the open doorway. Surprise rocked Dahyun followed by caution. Then she saw Sana's eyes filled with determination.

Everyone's attention was on her.

"Mr. Lim." Sana strode into the room confidently, sliding her hand in the crook of Dahyun's elbow. "I can assure you that Dahyun and I are in one hundred percent real."

Yisung's chest puffed full of bluster. "So it's you, huh? Are you planning to lure this bright young star away from her successful career?"

"I have no intention of taking Dahyun away." Sana tucked herself closer to her side. "Mr. Lim, our marriage is rock solid. Nothing will budge me from from Dahyun's side."

She sounded as though she meant it. If this was some kind of act to pay Dahyun back for insisting on the fake engagement in the first place...Then she looked into Sana's eyes.

And Dahyun saw love staring right back at her. Relief rocked her so hard she damn near forgot about the other people in the room until Jiyong coughed helpfully, tuning her in again.

"Then what about all these rumors I'm hearing about a marriage of convenience?" Yisung's face creased in disapproval. "Mrs. Kim Sana, did you really take a money to pose as her wife?"

Dahyun wanted to tell him it was none of his business, but Sana squeezed her arm lightly in restraint. "Sir, apparently it's no secret I had had a rough patch, and Dahyun was willing to do anything, absolutely anything, to help me. Just as I'm willing to do anything to help her. We're that devoted to each other's happiness."

All eyes moved back to Lim Yisung. Everyone seemed to be holding their collective breath, too, because the room went completely silent while man mulled over Sana's declaration.

Finally, Lim Yisung threw back his head and laughed, the sound booming around the room along with all those hefty exhales.

Dahyun's included. Sana was pulling this off.

Yisung slapped Dahyun on the back, holding on to her shoulder with a paternal air. "I like people who live out my motto: Family Is Everything. You're a couple made to be an advertisement for that."

The stunned look on Dahyun's bosses and manager face was priceless. No doubt they hadn't expected Mr. Lim to be swayed that easily.

"Mr. Kang," Now Lim Yisung laughed, "We won't publish it, but at least you will give us the exclusive of the birth of the child."

Everyone around the office table applauded and whooped agreement. Jiyong even clapped, albeit slowly. Sana blushed but was she ever smiling.

Dahyun rushed Sana out of the boardroom and into an music studio, slamming the door closed and locked behind them. Sana's laughter filled the room, mixing up with hers as Dahyun hauled Sana into her arms. Dahyun kissed her and Sana kissed her, no hesitation, no distance, just all-out passion and connection and relief. Knee-buckling relief that Sana wasn't leaving her.

Dahyun backed her seriously hot wife against a desk in the music studio, an ordered day off sprawling ahead of her invitingly. But first, Dahyun needed to know. "Did you mean everything you said back there?"

"Every—" she kissed Dahyun "—single—" Sana kissed her again "—word."

A sigh shuddered through Dahyun. "Thank God, because I realized today I can't let you go."

"Good thing I'm not leaving, then." Sana brought her closer. "It's not exactly professional to make love in here."

"We're married." The need to seal their newfound commitment surged through Dahyun. "It's not only okay, but completely in the best interest of my future success. Anytime I'm in this place, I'll be reminded of you, which will make me plow through all the faster so I can get home to my family, to my wife, the woman I love."

Then tears filled Sana's eyes. Her chin trembled; her smile damn near blinded Dahyun. "Well, then," Sana breathed against her mouth, "ditch my panties and get me."

"Keep talking like that and this time will go so fast, no one will suspect we've been up to anything."

"Since you never leave me wanting, I have no problem with that. We'll just get home all the sooner."

"Home." Dahyun tunneled her hands into Sana's hair, growing longer and fuller, blooming like the rest of her. "Are you sure you're okay with staying with me?"

"Dahyunnie." Her voice shook, heavy tears welling up in her eyes. "I realized I've been hanging on to an idea of success and happiness, limiting myself out of fear of losing control. Here, with you, is exactly where I want to be."

"You're more than I deserve." Dahyun hauled Sana against her chest, inhaling her sweet floral scent.

"Hey, you can keep right on romancing me to make it worth my while," Sana said teasingly. "We are good together."

And they would be in the future, as well. "You've always been incredible, special, but this week has made me realize just how much I love you. How much I need you in my life. I'm glad you decided to stay, but I would have come after you. I couldn't let you boot me out of your life."

One of those tears trickled down Sana's cheek into her smile. "I love you, too, you know. So much. The way you make love to me, the way you help me while making it clear you know I can take care of myself. I should have realized sooner, but I've been so scared. You make me lose control, you know."

"The last thing I want to do is frighten you."

"I've been running from the intense way you make me feel. But I know better now. We bring out the best in each other."

And she was right. Only with Sana had she been able to find the joy of a future and family she'd never expected. "Sounds like you did a lot of productive brainstorming in the past few hours."

"And I haven't even begun to tell you the plans I have for the gardens." Her fingers crawled up Dahyun's jacket. "Now that I've finished with business for the day..."

Dahyun lifted her onto the edge of the desk, in perfect synch with her as always. "It's definitely time for some recreation."

She immediately kissed Sana again, and Sana moaned wantonly into her mouth, teasing her tongue with hers. Sana was already wet, feeling her slick start to migrate down onto her inner thighs.

Sana whispered her name, pulling up on her shirt, wanting to have closer contact with Dahyun. Dahyun gripped the hem of Sana's blouse, and she stepped back to let her pull it over her head. Dahyun pressed kisses to Sana's collarbones, her hands running over her lace-covered breasts.

"Would you hurry up and take your clothes off?" Sana asked, impatient, trying to grab at the buttons of Dahyun's shirt. Dahyun chuckled, moving her head away from Sana's cleavage to allow her to undress her. Sana still got a hot flash of desire every time she saw Dahyun's pale skin soft with toned muscle underneath. Sana worked at Dahyun's pants, pushing them down over her hips and letting her step out of them. Sana palmed Dahyun's erection through her boxers, hearing her suck in a breath. Dahyun practically tore off Sana's jeans. Sana's bra and panties were next, watching as Dahyun's eyes roved over your body.

"Doesn't matter how many times I see you naked, you still take my breath away," Dahyun said, pulling Sana back into her embrace, letting her hands caress over her bare skin. Sana felt her cheeks flush, and she kissed Dahyun gently as she pushed her boxers down.

Copping all the feels, Sana moved to speak softly in her ear. "Same to you. Just thinking about you makes me shiver...." Sana pulled Dahyun's body flush against hers, Dahyun's length pushing against her belly, hot and hard and velvety smooth.

Sana fell to her knees in front of Dahyun, pushing her legs far apart enough to accommodate her shoulders, drinking in her fill of Dahyun's hard cock bobbing gently in front of Sana's face. Sana reached out to grasp her in her hand, hearing a rush of breath as Dahyun exhaled, starting to work her length.

Sana touched the tip of her tongue to the tip of Dahyun's dick and she groaned, the sound shocking Sana right between her legs. Pulling the head into her mouth, Sana stroked the rest of Dahyun's length with her hands, bobbing her head further and further down her shaft as far as she could. Dahyun was breathing heavily, and Sana soon felt one of her hands weave into her hair.

Dahyun didn't push, just steadied her head as Sana blew her, saliva running down Sana's chin. "That mouth of yours," She said quietly and Sana tilted her eyes up to look at Dahyun, red faced and eyes half-lidded. Picking up the pace, Sana took as much of Dahyun into her mouth as she could, willing her gag reflex away.

Sana hollowed her cheeks, sucking Dahyun down, her groans of pleasure snaking into her ears. When Sana moved a hand down to squeeze Dahyun's balls, she jerked her hips unintentionally, sending her cock to the back of Sana's throat. Sana pulled off her with a pop, wiping her mouth and teary eyes.

"Get up here," Dahyun commanded, and Sana climbed on her lap, cock rubbing against her belly Dahyun claimed her mouth in a searing kiss. Leaning back, Dahyun ground her hips against Sana, before flipping her onto her back and shoving her knee between Sana's legs.

Dahyun moved down Sana's body, kissing and licking and sucking at Sana's skin on the way to her dripping sex, throbbing with need. Thankfully, Dahyun didn't tease, and after settling between Sana's legs, she immediately buried her face in Sana's cunt, lapping up all the slick there waiting for her.

Two fingers slid in without hesitation, and she crooked them deep inside as she sucked on Sana's clit. Sana's orgasm was approaching fast, almost too fast, and her brain struggled to keep up with all the sensation she was giving her. One more hard thrust of her fingers coupled with a swirl of her tongue on her pearl and Sana came hard, essence gushing into Dahyun's mouth.

Sana couldn't stop the mixture of moans and curses that spilled from her lips, your muscles clamping down on Dahyun's fingers, still wiggling inside her, coaxing more and more pleasure out of her.

Still in a haze from her orgasm, Dahyun moved back up Sana's body, taking a nipple between her lips and rolling the other between her thumb and forefinger. Sana arched her back in delicious pleasure, feeling Dahyun's teeth gently bite down on her hardened bud. Sana moaned loudly, hands scrabbling for purchase on Dahyun's back.

"Please, Dahyun.. I need you.." Sana rambled, trying to pull Dahyun's face up to meet hers.

The look that crept onto the rapper's face could only be described as ravenous, her pupils completely blown out as she processed Sana's request. She shoved her tongue in Sana's mouth as Sana spread her legs for Dahyun, reaching down to grab Dahyun's cock. Sana directed it to her entrance and with a thrust of her hips, Dahyun sheathed herself inside Sana fully, and Sana felt as if she might burst.

Dahyun swallowed Sana's moan and bit down hard on her bottom lip, making her back arch.

Dahyun fucked Sana's pussy hard, her cock stretching and filling her with each thrust. Sana dug her nails into her shoulders, her panting breaths keeping a steady rhythm. She sucked a bruise on her neck, and her entire body clenched, feeling Dahyun slide a hand in between their hot, sweaty bodies, rubbing punishing circles on Sana's swollen clit.

Sana cried out, clinging to Dahyun as if she would drown without her. Sana's second orgasm was on the horizon, Dahyun hitting Sana's sweet spot over and over with that fantastic cock, her hand driving Sana closer and closer to her peak.

"Come for me," she practically growled, "I need to see you lose control before I fill you up."

Sana looked into her sharp eyes, her mouth unable to form words any longer, just mute cries of pleasure as the bomb exploded. Dahyun claimed Sana's mouth fiercely, stealing her breath as Sana came beautifully around her. Dahyun groaned into Sana's mouth as she felt Sana's walls constrict, still keeping up her brutal thrusts, reaching down to shift her hips so she could drive even deeper into Sana.

Sana dug her heels into Dahyun's lower back. She moaned her name over and over, body completely boneless, letting Dahyun use her to her completion. Hand gripping hard on Sana's hip, Dahyun thrusted one final time, painting Sana's insides with her come, Dahyun groaning deliciously as she filled Sana up. Sana was hers completely now, she realized as Dahyun nearly collapsed on top of her.

Sana wrapped her arms around Dahyun, keeping her close, feeling her cock twitch where she was still buried inside her with the aftershocks of her powerful orgasm.

"Dahyun..." Sana whispered. Dahyun smiled at her, placing a gentle kiss on her lips.

Gently, Dahyun pulled out of Sana with a hiss of breath. She pulled Sana closer, beckoning her to cuddle up next to her. Sana complied happily, loving the feeling of her arms around her. Sana traced her fingertips lazily down Dahyun's abdomen, feeling each peak and valley of her muscles. Dahyun caressed a hand down Sana's side, making her shiver a little when she hit her ticklish spot.

Sana kissed her shoulder, snuggling as close to Dahyun as she could. Sana felt warm and safe in Dahyun's embrace.

Dahyun came home from grocery shopping, tired and her arm muscles tense.

"Sana-chan, I got some of the stuff that you wanted!"

"You did?" There came a faint voice from down the hallway, undoubtedly Sana waiting for Dahyun to get home. The younger smiled as she took her shoes off and headed towards the sound of her wife's voice.

"Yeah! I got some dill pickles, peanut butter cups, chips, that fudge swirl ice cream..." Dahyun began to remove some of the items from her bag. "What do you want for dinner?"

"Oh, I don't know. Pizza?"

"Pizza sound-" Dahyun froze when she went into the sitting room to greet Sana. "What are you doing?"

Sana was seated in the middle of the couch, laundry spread around her. She was picking up shirts from a basket on the floor and folding them before setting them onto different piles. There were also piles of pants and paired socks on the other piece of furniture, revealing that she had been folding laundry for a while. Dahyun thought she could hear the dryer running from the other room.

"Laundry?" Sana replied quizzically. "I was running out of shirts and underwear."

"But- I- You-" Dahyun rushed over to Sana and took the clothing from her hands. "Are you alright? Have you been resting? I could have done laundry for you when I got home. I don't want you-"

"Dahyun!" Sana smiled and squeezed Dahyun's hands. "It's just laundry. I'm not rock climbing."

"Were you carrying the laundry baskets? You know you shouldn't be doing any heavy lifting. And you did rest? Take a nap? Eat something?"

Sana chuckled. "Yes, I ate, and I've been resting right here, folding laundry, and listening to some music."

"But you've been bending over and-"

"Dahyun! I'm fine!"

"I just don't want you to wear yourself out. Stress isn't good for the baby."

The closer they got to the birth of their child, the more Dahyun had been doting on her non-stop. This anxiety had only risen once Sana had entered her third trimester and was very visibly pregnant. Dahyun checked up on her what seemed like every five seconds, but Sana appreciated her concern. The only problem was that Dahyun seemed to think that Sana could no longer do anything on her own. No matter what she did, Dahyun thought it might upset the baby. But the rapper did get Sana all the things she needed, give her massages, and cook 99% of the meals, so Sana couldn't complain.

"I won't, I promise," Sana said as she pressed a kiss on Dahyun's cheek. Her mouth was turned down into an obvious frown and her eyes were soft and worried. Dahyun broke their gaze and pushed her face into Sana's neck. Sana smiled and rubbed the back of her head.

Dahyun shimmied down and pulled Sana's shirt up so her belly was exposed. A goofy smile spread across Dahyun's face as her pale hands roamed Sana's skin. Dahyun leaned down and pressed her ear against the side of Sana's belly and closed her eyes. "Baby..."

"Do you feel it?"

"Yeah..." Dahyun moved her hands around. "I can hear it, too."

"It can hear you, too."

"Hi, Baby." Dahyun pressed a kiss to Sana's stomach. "I'm your Omma. I love you."

Sana ran her hand through Dahyun's hair as she kept rubbing her tummy. "I'm sure the baby will love you very much."

"You think?"

"Yeah."

Dahyun rested her chin on Sana's tummy and looked up at her. "I love you, Sana."

"And I love you, Dahyun."

With three weeks to go, Sana wakes up one morning, gets out of bed, looks down at her belly. Dahyun rolls over and opens one eye blearily, but she wakes up quickly when she sees what's happened.

Overnight, Sana's stomach has moved about four inches south, and now hangs low and pendulous in front of her.

"Oh baby, I think you've dropped" Dahyun says, grinning.

"You think?" Sana snaps back. She apologizes instantly. "Sorry, Dahyunnie. It's
