Chapter Thirteen: Just, Little Things

"Okay, Dinah, you'll be in the main room, (y/n), you can have the guest room, and I'll take the couch," Jade said, unlocking her apartment and helping Dinah move her bags into the small living area. "I know it's not huge, but there's enough space here for the three of us to hopefully live somewhat comfortably."

You stepped in after Dinah, following Jade down the hallway to the guest room, a closed door across from the master bedroom, directly next to what could only be a closet converted into a very small office full of textbooks and a seemingly endless wall of post-it notes and pictures of Jade, the members, and what you could only assume was a print out of Dinah's ultrasound.

"I'll get around to cleaning that room out eventually," Jade said from behind you, "I'm just waiting for a chance to scrapbook about 75% of it."

"What is all of it?"

"Notes from Namjoon, notes from the boys, stuff from Dinah and Yoongi, assorted postcards from various tours. Just, little things."

"You miss him," you whisper quietly.

"Yeah. I should be used to this by now, but..." she sighed, "I just wish that they weren't gone for so long."

"Is this tour longer than usual?"

"In some ways, yes, in others it's the same as always. Normally I meet them in the United States for their shows there and stay with them, but with Dinah the way she is, I don't fly out to meet them until California, and even that's up in the air dependent upon how Dinah's feeling by the end of the month."

"When's she due?"

"A few weeks. Yoongi's supposed to be back by then, but the doctors have told Dinah that the baby could really come at any time, which is why she's staying here."

"And I'm here because?"

"I figured that you could use the time to get toknow us. That, and I need as much help as I can get."

Two days later, after two movie nights, skyping the boys briefly a few times, and two nights of take out, things had gotten comfortable, and you and the other two girls were living together as though you had your entire lives.

Jade had gotten her license back, which you now understood to be a complete danger to everyone around her, so you and the other two had been spending time in the boy's dorms, cleaning and dealing with the mail.

It had been a long day; Jade had been out at class, and when she got home she collapsed on the couch and promptly passed out, refusing dinner for a chance to sleep just a few minutes more.

She was still asleep when you heard a scream come from the bathroom down the hall, and you quickly shook Jade, who had just begun to slip into sleep, awake. You both made your way down the hall, and approached the bathroom door cautiously.

"Dinah?" Jade knocked on the door, "Are you okay?"

"Jade, I'm only going to- ah! - say this once. My water broke." Dinah gritted out, and Jade swung around to face you, eyes wide.

"Go get the bag and meet me at the car. Dinah, I'm coming in."

You ran down the hallway and grabbed the bag that you and Jade had jokingly packed the day before, laughing at the absurdity that Dinah would go into labor two weeks before her due date. You and Jade were both cursing yourselves inwardly for tempting fate the way you had, jokingly asking for names and teasing Dinah to no end, and it seemed that the baby had decided that it was time for revenge.
