18 Weeks & Counting

"Have you thought about a theme yet for this shower?" Taehyung asked as he and Jimin Facetimed, due to the fact that Taehyung was currently bedridden from how severe his morning sickness was that day.

"I think I want it to match the nursery." Jimin said as he walked around said nursery, labeling different areas of the room with where he wanted the furniture to go. Yes, the crib would go perfect against this wall. "So, elephants, or at least yellow, gray, and white."

Taehyung opened his mouth to respond but was interrupted by a wild Jungkook appearing with a cup of tea. "Jimin, have you said hi to our little blueberry yet?" He asked excitedly, reaching out to adjust Taehyung's laptop so his stomach was in view of the camera before leaning down to press a kiss to the still flat area. Meanwhile, Taehyung rolled his eyes at the alpha.

"Blueberry?" Jimin giggled as Taehyung quietly thanked Jungkook for the tea and took a sip. "A few days ago, they were your sweet pea."

Taehyung rolled his eyes again. "He downloaded one of those apps to track puppy's growth and put in his assumed due date since, you know, it's normal to keep track of every single instance of sex."

"Not my fault you're so amazing that I keep a daily journal to remember everything you do."

"If you weren't my boyfriend, I would have gone to the cops about my stalker by now."

"Wow, your pup is gonna have such loving parents to look up to." Jimin said flatly.

Taehyung shrugged, waving his hand dismissively. "Kookie knows I love him." He shot the alpha smile, and Jungkook responded by stealing a quick kiss.

Yoongi entered the room at that moment with his laptop held out. "Is this the crib you wanted?"

Jimin glanced at the screen briefly. "The white version." He said simply before using his label maker to print off 'changing table', sticking the label to the wall on the right side of the room when standing at the door.

"Well, I'm gonna go look into decorations and stuff for your shower." Taehyung said. "Send me a guest list of people you want at the party, and a list of people you definitely don't want, whenever you can."

"Will do!" Jimin walked over to where he had his phone propped up against the wall, blowing his best friend a kiss before ending the call. He turned back to Yoongi with a smile. "Find it?"

Yoongi hummed, clicking a few times before turning his laptop back around to show that the crib had been purchased. "Should be here in a week or two." Jimin let out a small cheer before turning back to his label maker. "I didn't think nesting would set in this quickly."

Jimin shrugged. "Honestly, I don't know if it is nesting kicking in or just my perfectionism." He shot Yoongi another smile as he printed off 'bookshelf', sticking the label in the corner by the crib.

Jimin smiled as he took in the freshly painted nursery. He had been banned from that area of the house for the past 24 hours as Yoongi and his friends painted it, since Yoongi didn't want to risk any damage happening from the paint fumes. But now that it had been aired out properly, Jimin was finally able to see the painted room as his friends helped to put together the furniture and set it up, Yoongi still refusing to let Jimin help in any way. However, Jimin found it difficult to even feign poutiness at being put to the side as he looked around at the yellow walls--except for the wall with the crib which had been decorated in an elephant wallpaper--and the furniture that was slowly coming together and making it look like an actual nursery.

"Best anniversary present ever!" He squealed when Yoongi turned to check on him, leaning in to give his alpha a soft kiss.

Even though his eyes were wide open with no signs of going back to sleep, Jimin couldn't figure out why he was awake. He was sure he'd been snoozing peacefully just a minute ago, so why was he awake now? Snuggling further against his pregnancy pillow, thinking that maybe he'd just gotten uncomfortable enough to be forced awake, he closed his eyes to try to fall back asleep.

But then he felt it.

A sharp jab just to the right of his belly button. "Yoongi!" He hissed as he felt another kick. "Yoongi!" He exclaimed a little louder, but when he just got a quiet snore in response, he reached out to hit Yoongi's shoulder, making the alpha jump awake.

"What? What's wrong?" Yoongi immediately sat up in a panic.

"Feel!" Jimin whispered, taking Yoongi's hand and guiding his hand to his stomach.

"Wha-" Yoongi cut himself off as their pup kicked again, eyes widening in amazement as he started to gently rub the area. "Is that Mochi?"

"Yeah, it is." Jimin giggled. "She wanted to say hi."

Yoongi laughed a bit tearfully as he looked down at Jimin's stomach. "Well, hi Mochi." He and Jimin both laughed again when she kicked at Yoongi's hand as if responding to him. "We can't wait to meet you. But how about you let Eomma get some sleep? You'll have plenty of nights to wake him up soon enough." Jimin playfully smacked Yoongi's shoulder again as the alpha pressed a loving kiss to his stomach. Yoongi then lifted his head up and found Jimin's lips, kissing him just as softly. "I love you." He mumbled against Jimin's lips.

"I love you." Jimin whispered back, kissing Yoongi one more time before snuggling against his pillow again.

Jimin struggled not to laugh at the sight of Taehyung eating close to half of the treats at the dessert table while he opened his last present. "Oh my god!" He squealed as he pulled out the fluffy bath towel with an elephant hood on it. "Mochi will look so cute in this!" He thanked Yoongi's mother for the final part of her extensive baby shower gift before packing all of the components back into the bag they came. "Thank you, again, everyone for everything." He said before moving to stand up, Seokjin immediately rushing to his side to help. "My legs are cramping, and I have heartburn. Can we kick everyone out yet?" He muttered quiet enough that only Seokjin could hear him.

"I'm not sure, but I am willing to cover for you if you want to go lie down for a bit."

"You are a lifesaver!" He hugged his best friend before sneaking off to his bedroom away from the party.
