"We have three gestational sacs, Which means, you're having three babies in one go." Minjeong grinned from ear to ear. She was happy to deliver the joyful news to the couple.

"Oh God," Hanni gasped in shock.

"Three babies? I'm having triplets?!"

"Holy shh—"

"Min, don't swear in front of the babies!"

"Sugar..." Minji changed her cursed word right away." Three?!"

The universe precisely knew how to mess with Minji. The three oval patterns on the screen were clear evidence of what kind of live she'd be living for the next nine months ahead. She was not an obstetrician but she had enough knowledge about this matter.

"Babe, triplets! Oh my God! They're going to be so cute!" Hanni squeezed Minji's hand excitedly. Her eyes formed the perfect crescent shape indicating how ecstatic she was by Sana's statement. She shortened their distance then gave Minji a soft kiss on her lips.

"I love you."

"I love you." Minji returned the kiss.

Minjeong let the couple to hear their babies' heartbeat. It wasn't that strong since they were still so tiny but it was enough to make the parents to be incredibly happy. Minji had listened so many types of heartbeats in her live but nothing could beat those that she was listening now.

They were beyond beautiful.

And she didn't dare to imagine if one of those hearts stop beating.

Hanni was busy talking animatedly to Minjeong to notice the forceful smile Minji had on her face. Multiple pregnancies associated with a higher rate of neonatal morbidity and mortality, paralleling the increased risk of preterm delivery, low birth weight, and other associated high-risk morbidities. So frankly, Minji was far from relieved at the moment.

Minjeong made a DVD and printed the paper as documentary for a couple. She prescribed all supplements Hanni needed and informed them about what to do and not to do and every signs that they had to be aware. After the consultation session was done, Hanni excused herself to the toilet inside Sana's practice room.

"Minji Unnie, try to be more relax. If I don't know you very well, I'd say you're not happy about this." Minjeong spoke lowly even though Hanni couldn't hear their conversation.

"Minjeong, you know exactly how dangerous multiple pregnancy is. I can end up losing them all." Minji sighed wearily. All of sudden her energy oozed out of her.

"Hey, I'll be with you guys in every step of the way, okay? If something happen, we'll figure something out." The obstetrician patted Minji's arm supportively.

"Now show her some blissful spirit otherwise you'll end up sleeping on the couch for being an ungrateful partner." Minjeong whispered the last part at the same time Hanni walked out of the toilet.

"What are you guys talking about?" Hanni cheerfully linked her arm to Minji's.

"Oh nothing, just work stuff." Minjeong replied smoothly.

"Anything else I can help?"

"As the matter of fact, yes. Come to our house for dinner this weekend, I want to thank you properly. I'll ask Karina personally to accompany you. What do you say?"

"But you're not cooking, tough. No heavy physical activity, remember?" Minji interjected.

"Cooking is not heavy at all."

"Yes it is, Babe."

"But-"

"It's a no." Minji stated calmly but the determined voice was loud enough for Hanni to understand that she wasn't down to any argument.
