SEONGJOONG

Hongjoong felt like shit

He was currently lying on the floor of their dormitory, arms and legs curled up in a little ball around his body as he held a pillow firmly to his abdomen.  The coldness of the hardwood floor beneath him slowly seeped into his feverish skin, cooling him down slightly.

Sweat dripped down his face as he clenched the cushion to his stomach hard, burying his face into the soft material as he held back a sob, eyes and body burning.

For the past week he had been plagued with an ever present ache all over his body.  Gnawing at every joint, muscle, and nerve.  Progressively getting worse as the days passed by.

It had started off with a dull throb.  Just a simple soreness that occurs when your muscles are in constant use, never getting a break to relax.  Although a couple painkillers could usually easily cure this problem.

Around three days later, Hongjoong had begun to notice that he felt worse.  He had started to experience slight nausea and dizziness alongside his soreness.  These symptoms were also steadily worsening by the day, leaving him tired and shaky one night in the bathroom as he both simultaneously puked his guts out and tried not to pass out into the toilet.  Although, Seonghwa's comforting presence and helping hands definitely helped ease the pain and distress, if only by a little bit.

But it didn't stop there

After about another three days Hongjoong was absolutely miserable.  The nausea and dizziness had become even worse to the point where he couldn't hardly even walk, let alone stand up.  It had definitely scared his members when he practically fell on top of Mingi during dance practice.  Bringing the taller male down to the floor with him as his legs gave out underneath him. 

His soreness had also worsened, slowly rising in degrees of agony with each passing hour.  It was honestly cramps at this point instead of aches.  Sharp spasms of pain that would shoot through his body anytime he tried to move, completely halting all movement. 

However he didn't let this stop him.

Even though he felt like dying everyday, Hongjoong continued to work. 

With the fast approaching date of their next comeback, the young male knew he didn't have the time to be taking a break, even if it would end up benefiting his health.  He continued to overwork himself as he composed and edited every day, anxious that he wasn't going to be able to meet his given deadline.

Although that quickly changed when he had began to become feverish.  Their company immediately became worried at his condition, demanding he sees a doctor and figures out what is going on. 

Eventually he caves to going to the hospital (Seonghwa wouldn't stop worrying) and after 3 long hours of sitting in the ER, Hongjoong was deemed sick with a bad case of the flu and put on bed rest until it passed, leading him back to his current situation.

Sighing at the coldness that touched the bare skin of his body, (having forgone wearing clothing a couple hours ago) Hongjoong attempted to focus on anything else but the suffocating pain radiating throughout his entire body.

A sudden soothing hand running along his naked back quickly helped the male forget his pain.  Smiling tiredly as he leaned into the warmth that was his boyfriend's palm.

"How are you feeling?"

Seonghwa asked quietly, voice low as he knew that the younger was also experiencing a mild migraine, having started to complain about it once he had come home early from dance practice (as requested by the younger), only to find his lover laying in the middle of the living room with every single blind closed.

Hongjoong merely whined at the question, maneuvering himself so that he could lay his head against his boyfriend's thigh as the male settled onto the floor besides him.

A few tears escaped the corners of the younger's eyes as he nuzzled into the soft material of Seonghwa's gray sweatpants, more whimpers leaving his mouth as the movement caused his pain to spike once again.

"Sweetheart, don't cry..."

Seonghwa cooed, thumbs coming up to gently brush away the tears that continued to fall down his lover's face, brown eyes full of concern as he looked at the crying boy.

"I-it hu-urts Hwa..."

Hongjoong cried, voice small and raspy as he looked up at the older, big eyes swollen and red as he sobbed.

"I'm so tired..."

Seonghwa's heart shattered at those words, eyes burning with unshed tears as he scooped the small boy into his arms, cradling his bare body safely against his chest.  The younger visibly nuzzled into the fabric of his hoodie, burying into his warmth even though his body burned with fever.  Tears continued to stream down his flushed cheeks, but his breathing slowly evened out as he inhaled his boyfriend's soothing scent.

"I know baby, I know..."

Seonghwa murmured sadly against Hongjoong's hair, the brown strands matted and wet with sweat.

"I just want it to go away, I'm tired of this shit."

The younger states, face serious as he throws his hands up exasperatedly as he pouted up at his lover, eyes shiny as he laid his head back against his broad shoulder.  All traces of crying gone from his face as annoyance took over his petite features.

Seonghwa huffed, a smile gracing his handsome face as he placed an affectionate kiss against his lover's forehead, lips trembling on top of his warm skin as he tried to contain his laughter towards the younger's sudden mood swing.

"I know you do baby, I know."

He says warmly as the younger moves his way off his chest so he could sit upright in his lap, slowly getting more worked up by the minute.

"He's probably just tired and delirious from the fever and pain."

The older thinks to himself as he fondly watches the small male in his lap go on a heated tangent about why he hates being sick and what he did to deserve this torture.

Seonghwa's laughter effectively cuts off his rant as he can no longer hold it in, the older hugging the boy tightly against his chest, the surface rumbling warmly underneath him.

Hongjoong looks up at him astounded,  absolutely astonished by the amount of audacity his boyfriend has to be laughing at him, a mere individual who is helplessly plagued with the miserable sickness that is the flu.

"Why are you laughing at me! I'm dy-"

A pair of plush lips quickly pressed against his, swiftly shutting him up before he could start to complain about his lover's behavior.

"You're cute when you're angry."

Seonghwa murmurs against his lips, foreheads pressed together tenderly as he pulls back slightly, only to dive back in and capture his lover's plump lips between his own.

Hongjoong slowly melted against Seonghwa's lips, sighing softly as he let him take control.  Although that quickly changed when he felt the older sneakily swipe his tongue into his mouth, causing the younger to quickly pull back with a sharp gasp, eyes wide with shock.

"Seonghwa! You're gonna get si-AH"

Hongjoong yelped as he was suddenly flipped onto his back, Seonghwa above him as he caged him in between his arms, pressing another searing kiss to his lips.

"Hwa-"

Hongjoong managed to gasp out when the older diverted his attention to the younger's neck, peppering light kisses against the exposed warm skin before he once again placed his mouth against his own.

He could feel Seonghwa smile into the kiss as he eventually gave up, letting the older finally have his way.

The two kissed for who knows how long, the concept of time slipping between Hongjoong's fingers with each warm press of Seonghwa's lips against his own, momentarily forgetting about the pain that was overtaking his body.

That is until the older started to tickle him.

Long fingers assaulted his sides as they dug into the soft skin, ripping loud squeals and laughs from the smaller boy underneath him.

Breathless, Hongjoong stared up at his boyfriend as his tickle attack came to an end, eyes scrunching up as a bright smile lit up his face, pearly white teeth and gums on full display as a giggle fell from his lips.

There's that smile that I love so much!

Seonghwa beamed, his own crooked grin splitting across his face as he ran his thumb affectionately across his lover's cheekbone.

Lowering himself down slowly, the older cupped his hands gently around Hongjoong's face before placing one last tender kiss to his boyfriend's little pink lips.

"I love you Joongie"

He whispers, face inches away from the younger's as he gazes warmly into his big brown eyes.

Hongjoong smiles, blushing slightly as he places a light peck to the older's lips, eyes full of love as he gazes back.

"I love you too Hwa"

He replies shyly, hiding his face into Seonghwa's neck as the male attacks him with a hug.

Eventually they part, Seonghwa pulling him up and off the ground, gently brushing away his bangs from where they fell into his eyes before wrapping a strong arm around his waist, keeping him steady.

"Come on, let's go get you some medicine.  We don't really need the others walking in and getting the wrong idea."

He laughs, eliciting a small giggle from the boy underneath his arm as he leads them towards their kitchen, depositing Hongjoong on top of the counter as he turns to grab his prescription out of the fridge.

Little legs swinging against the cabinets, the small boy watches his boyfriend as he grabs his bottle of medicine, pouring him the needed amount before turning and handing it to him.

"Here you go baby"

Handing him the cup of medicine, Hongjoong excepts it with a quick "Thank you" before bringing it up to his lips.

Opening his mouth to drink, a sharp cramp immediately seizes the small boy's body, causing him to gasp and let go of the tiny container between his fingers, the contents splattering across the hardwood floor.

He doesn't even have time to think about the mess he just made as the pain becomes even worse, clamping around his hips and back so strongly that he loses his breath, curling in on himself quickly.

He can hear Seonghwa's voice calling out to him, his hands coming to rest on his back and hip, rubbing soothingly.

Eventually the pain subsides and Hongjoong is once again allowed to breathe, gasping for breath as Seonghwa continues to comfort him.

"Baby what was that?"

The older asks, voice concerned as he stares at his boyfriend's tense form.

"A cramp...they've been slowly getting worse all day."

Hongjoong confessed, looking up at Seonghwa guiltily for not telling him.

The male hissed through his teeth as he went to refill the dropped container with medicine, handing it back to the boy in front of him.

"Joong, you have to tell me these kinds of things so I can help you."

Seonghwa chided softly, bending down to clean up the spilt medicine on the floor. He looked up when he didn't receive an immediate answer from the younger only to find Hongjoong tipping the contents of the cup into his mouth, face scrunching up at the horrible flavor as he swallowed.

"I know...I'm sorry"

The small boy apologized, eyes remorseful as he looked up at his boyfriend when he stood up from the floor.

"It's okay baby, just don't do it again."

He replied, helping the younger off the counter as he pulled him into a hug, placing a tender kiss against his forehead.

"Come on, why don't you go take a shower, it should help."

He said, leading his tiny boyfriend towards their groups shared bathroom, pulling him inside and closing the door behind them.

Setting him on top of the toilet seat, Seonghwa turned to their shower stall, twisting it on and to the perfect temperature before turning back to him.

He pulled him up and quickly striped him of the soft blue cotten briefs (That were definitely his own) that were the only thing adoring his slight frame, leaving him bare in front of the older.

"You're so beautiful"

Seonghwa whispered into his ear as he wrapped his arms around his thin waist, pressing soft kisses along his shoulder as he gazed at him in the mirror.

"No I'm not.  I'm all gross and sweaty, and I've been bloated for like four days!"

Hongjoong tsked, looking at his own naked body as he turned to the side to show the small curve of his distended abdomen.

Seonghwa looked down at the small bump, lips turning up into a smile.

"It's cute, just like you."

Huffing the younger pouted at him in the mirror, crossing his arms as he sent him a glare.

Seonghwa merely laughed, pressing a tender kiss to his cheek as he patted his butt affectionately, ushering him towards the shower.

"Go on, get in the shower.  I'm gonna go ahead and start on dinner before the kids come back, we both know how ravenous they get after practice."

He joked, watching as Hongjoong stepped under the spray of warm water as he turned to leave, throwing a quick "Just yell if you need me" over his shoulder before closing the door behind him.

Hongjoong listened to the soft click of the door as he sighed, tilting his head back under the hot water as it scattered over his sore muscles, easing the pain slightly.

He sat there for a while, just enjoying and absorbing the warmth that was soaking into his skin, tiredly resting his forehead against the tiled wall in front of him, eyes closing slowly.

Eventually he turned to grab the shampoo off the wall, but stopped as another sharp cramp seared through his body, halting his movements.

A soft cry left his lips as the pain once again wrapped around his back and hips, but was now beginning to spread towards his inner thighs, bringing with it an overwhelming amount of pressure that didn't seem to stop.

He bit his lip as tears burned behind his eyes, immediately streaming down his face as the pressure continued to build.

Another cry of pain ripped it's way out of his throat as the pressure built and built, until finally he felt a deep pop within himself.  His legs gave up underneath him as he fell to the floor, hand gripping onto the bar placed above his head as relief slowly flowed through his body.

The relief was short lived

Almost immediately after he felt a strong drop, the power of it knocking the air out of his lungs. 

Gasping, Hongjoong let's out a loud groan at the horrible pressure that followed behind it, even worse then the previous pain.  His legs shake as it feels like a bowling ball is currently sitting between his thighs, the weight painful.

What is happening to him!

Chest heaving as he tries to keep himself from panicking, Hongjoong reaches a hesitate hand down in between his legs, but quickly pulls back as another cramp surges through his body.

Crying out in pain, the boy drops down onto all fours, pressing his forehead hard into the floor as the pain becomes blinding, water continuing to beat down onto his back.

He sobs as a strong burning feeling over takes his body, his thighs and hips quivering at the onslaught of pain that hits him.

He feels like he is going to vomit when he suddenly notices that something is trying to come out of him, the burning becoming worse as it moves down slowly, the drag agonizing.

Gaining the courage once again, Hongjoong reaches down in between his thighs with a shaky hand, chest seizing with panic as his fingers come into contact with something hard and slick.

Head snapping up, he pushes himself up onto his knees, leaning back on one hand as he looks down in between his legs, scared eyes widening in shock at what he discovers.

It's was a head

A shrill scream leaves his mouth

--------------------

Seonghwa was peacefully cutting up a carrot when he heard it.

Hongjoong's scream

Nearly cutting off his finger, the male quickly ripped off his apron as he threw the knife into the sink, turning and bolting down the hallway, abandoning dinner as panic engulfs his entire being.

"SEONGHWA! SEONGHWA! SEONGHWA!"

Hearing Hongjoong's desperate pleas of terror for him only send him into more of a frenzy, chaotically running into the door of the bathroom as he frantically rips it open, roughly catching himself on the ledge of the sink as he stumbles over his own feet, large eyes meeting with a pair of equally terrified ones.

"Baby what's wron-"

Seonghwa cuts himself off as his eyes divert towards Hongjoong's trembling inner thighs, breath catching in his throat when he notices that the small male is cupping something in between them.

It was a head

A baby's head

It was barely peeking out, just a small mound of pitch black hair nestled gently against Hongjoong's shaking palm, the thick strands poking out between his fingers. But there was no denying that that wasn't a baby.

His baby

The realization hits him like a train as he ran a trembling hand through his hair, trying to desperately wrap his head around this new information.

He was going to be a father

Quickly snapping out of his daze as Hongjoong once again screams his name, he rushes towards the quivering male, hastily turning off the shower before kneeling down next to him, running a soothing hand along his tense back.

"Seong-h-hwa...h-wa I'm s-sca-ard"

Hongjoong hiccups, chest heaving as he can barely get in a full breath as he continues to sob.

"Shh baby, shh it's gonna be okay, we're going to figure this out together."

Seonghwa shushes him gently, placing a tender kiss against his sobbing lover's temple, a comforting hand running through his wet locks.

Hongjoong cries out harshly as another agonizing cramp shoots through his slight frame, body lurching forwards as a small hand clamps down around the fabric of his boyfriend's pants, squeezing tightly.

Seonghwa's eyes widened in fear at his lover's actions, but swiftly recomposes himself as he knows he needs to help.

Swallowing nervously, the older moves his eyes away from the younger and back down towards his thighs once again, hesitantly placing a large hand over his boyfriend's tiny fingers, slowly moving them out of the way to get a better look at what he is dealing with.

Emotions jump up his throat as he eyes catch onto the mound of their baby's head again, watching as it slowly inches forward, eliciting a shrill scream from Hongjoong.

Seonghwa's heart definitely skips a beat when he finally looks up only to be met with the younger's scrunched features and tensed jaw, wails continuing to leave his lips as his hand flies up to grab his own, grip merciless.

Fuck

He was pushing

Coaching him gently, Seonghwa patiently waits for the pain to leave, peppering soft kisses along his lover's exposed neck and shoulder.

"It's okay, it's okay just breathe Joongie...you're doing good, just keep pushing."

Finally after what seems like forever Hongjoong's body relaxes, tiredly slumping back against Seonghwa's as more tears run down his face, mixing with sweat.

Cooing to him softly, the older gently scoops up his boyfriend's tiny body (being mindful of the small baby between his legs because he knows he shouldn't be moving him this far into labor, but just couldn't bare the thought of him giving birth on the hard floor) and swiftly moves them towards their bedroom, placing the younger down tenderly onto their warm sheets.

Hongjoong immediately turns on his side and grabs Seonghwa's pillow, crying quietly into the soft fibers as he greedily inhales his boyfriend's calming scent, body slowly relaxing.

Seonghwa takes this as his cue to leave and quickly grab a few things. He racks his brain for everything he can think of that could be useful during childbirth, eventually coming up with a bunch of towels, a bowl of hot water, and a pair of scissors.

Hurrying back to Hongjoong, he situates himself in front of the younger, allowing them to face each other. He gently lifts up his lower half to place a towel underneath him, rubbing soothing circles into his bare hip as little whines leave his mouth, signifying the start of a new contraction.

Hongjoong threads his arm through the bend of his knee as he draws his leg up towards his body, curling in on himself as he bears down strongly.

Seonghwa watches with fascinated eyes as the small bump of thick black hair edges forward even more, the top of their baby's head now fully visible.

Knowing that they are now crowning, Seonghwa runs off pure instinct and information he obtained from his older brother's wife (he enjoyed talking with her) as he gently places his fingers around the sore skin surrounding the protruding head, pressing down firmly. Hongjoong's breath hitches at the added pressure, but otherwise doesn't say anything, eyes closed as he focuses solemnly on getting their baby out of him.

Small whimpers leave his lips as the head continues to inch forward, face tight as he grips the older's pillow and his own leg in a death hold, finger nails leaving small crescent indents behind.

Seonghwa's eyes glaze over the small boy's features as he presses a warm, damp rag against his tender skin, easing the sting slightly.  Taking in a deep breath, he applies one final push of pressure as Hongjoong goes in to push once again, skillfully maneuvering the crowing head until it is finally free, eliciting a sharp gasp from the younger at the sudden release of pressure.

"The head's out baby"

Seonghwa informs, smiling softly as his boyfriend's eyes grow wide, his chest heaving as he hesitantly looks down.

"Oh my god..."

Hongjoong breaths out, doing a double take at the small baby nestled between his thighs before he throws his head back against his pillow, mind finally catching up to him that this is actually happening.

Seonghwa laughs softly, hands busy as they gently wipe fluid from the tiny baby's nose and mouth, a large smile spreading across his face.

He can already see so much of Hongjoong in their tiny features, from the curve of their lips to the sharp point of their nose. 

They were beautiful

His boyfriend's deep groan pulls him back to the present as he looks and sees that the younger is pushing again.  He runs a soothing hand along the thigh he is holding up, observing as the first shoulder makes an appearance.

"S-Seonghwa, I-I can't d-do it... I'm s-so t-tired"

Hongjoong pants, slumping back against the bed looking absolutely exhausted as he gazes at his boyfriend with broken eyes.

Seonghwa bites his lip at his boyfriend's defeated expression, knowing he can't give up now that he's so close.

Shuffling himself up towards his shaking lover, he places his back against the headboard, fingers coming up to run affectionately through his sweat-soaked locks before resting a gentle hand along his cheek, cupping his face tenderly.

He kneels down towards the younger's face, noses brushing together as he basks in the other's presence, breath mingling between them.

"You can do this baby...I've got you"

He whispers, placing a soft kiss against the tired male's lips, foreheads touching as he gazes into his large brown eyes, long eyelashes wet with tears.

"I've got you"

Placing one last fleeting kiss to soft pink lips, Seonghwa moves himself back towards the younger's legs, warm palm running along his bare side soothingly.

Hongjoong roughly shoves his head back against his pillow as he arches himself of the bed, fingers digging harshly into the flesh of his leg as he begins to resume pushing.

"There you go baby!  Keep going!"

Seonghwa shouts excitedly over his boyfriend's wails of pain as the second shoulder finally comes free, large hands gently gripping the small baby as he helps bring them into the world.

Face red and sweaty, Hongjoong feels like he is going to pass out.  His body is both screaming at him to sleep and expel the foreign object within it.  He braces himself as he finds all of his remaining strength, putting it all into one final push.  Cries of Seonghwa's name leave his lips as he bears down, desperately searching and finding said male's hand as he squeezes it tightly.

"SEONGHWA!"

With one last scream, Hongjoong collapses against the sheets, chest heaving as relief finally spreads through his body, the pain instantly gone as his own rapid heartbeat fills his ears.

Although that's quickly replaced with the shrill cries of a newborn as a small squirming body is placed against his bare chest.

Emotions immediately flood through the young boy's body as he gazes down at the tiny flushed baby nuzzling into his warmth, their cries turning into little whimpers as they snuggle into their mother's skin.

"Hi sweetheart"

He whispers quietly, looking up at Seonghwa with wonder in his eyes as the older sits besides him. He gazes down at the small baby on his chest, exhaustion completely forgotten.

"It's a boy"

Seonghwa smiles, laughing softly at how quickly Hongjoong's face crumbles at the news, tears streaming down his face as he holds his son tighter, burying his nose into his thick hair.

"Oh my god"

He sobs, blurry eyes gazing down at the tiny boy, his tiny boy laid within his arms.

"Oh my god Seonghwa we have a son!"

He beams up at the older next to him. Seonghwa's heart flutters affectionately at the small boy besides him, his talented boyfriend and now mother of their son.

"Some case of the flu huh?"

Seonghwa jokes, receiving a slight nudge in the ribs from Hongjoong's elbow, a teasing glint in the younger's eyes.

Even though everything was so unexpected, little did Seonghwa know that sitting here next to the love of his life with their son tucked tenderly against his chest was exactly what he needed most in life.

He wouldn't trade it for the world

--------------------

The stove was on

That was the first thing Wooyoung noticed when he entered the dorm, not caring that no one replied to his loud screech of "We're home!" (No one ever did anyways) as he and the rest of the boys piled into the living room, immediately gravitating towards the kitchen in search of food like a pack of rabid wolves.

Seonghwa would never leave the stove on.

Immediately red flags are racing through his head as he takes in the state of the older's precious kitchen. A large pot is sat on top of the burner, nothing actually cooking inside of it except for the boiling water that was definitely smoking a concerning amount. A halfway chopped carrot sat abandoned on top of a cutting board, the knife used to cut it hastily thrown into the sink. Thankfully not much else was placed along the counter tops, just a few random containers of spices and vegetables here and there.

Hurrying towards the fridge, Wooyoung breathes a sigh of relief as he sees their precious meat still intact in its packaging and placed on a shelf.

If he had seen that thrown across the kitchen he would have cried.

He is quickly snapped out of his meat-induced haze as he hears San's somewhat frantic voice call out to him and the rest of the members.

"What!"

He calls back, grumbling under his breath as he closes the fridge behind him, feet heavy as he trudges towards his boyfriend's consistent calls.

"You guys may want to see this"

That definitely grabs his and the rest of the boys's attention as they make their way towards San, his thin body stood frozen in front of Seonghwa and Hongjoong's bedroom.

A smirk spreads across his face as he thinks about all the things that could be hidden behind his boyfriend's broad shoulders.

Possibly a prime opportunity for some new blackmail?

"I bet they were fuck-"

He stops mid-sentence, mouth hanging open as his eyes bug out in shock as he gazes at the couple in front of him.

Oh how wrong his was

Staring into the couple's bedroom, Wooyoung is greeted with the sight of Hongjoong tucked against Seonghwa's side, a small white bundle cradled tenderly into the crook of his arm.

He couldn't believe his eyes as he saw a little tuft of pitch black hair sticking out of the white material that very much connected to the head of a tiny baby.

What the actual fuck!

Why the hell was Hongjoong holding a baby!

"Wha-"

"WE'RE UNCLES!"

Yunho's loud shout effectively cuts off Wooyoung's small mental breakdown as the tall male pushes his way past San's body that was still frozen in the doorway as he stands next to the couple's bed. His body was practically vibrating as he stared at the small baby with large round eyes.

"Surprise..."

Hongjoong announces shyly, embarrassedly tucking he head against Seonghwa's shoulder as he doesn't like having all the attention on him when every pair of eyes turn to look at him in shock, the older laughing softly as he runs a hand through his hair.

However, his head quickly snaps back up as a loud thump resonates around the room, drawing everyone's attention towards the carpet.

Eyebrows raise in amusement as all the members take in the tall body slumped haphazardly across the floor, long limbs in awkward angles as they laid limply on the ground.

Mingi had passed out
