다칠 준비가 돼 있어 (I'm Ready to Get Hurt On and On)

Thank You for Being Born

(September)

(Taekwoon's POV)

The cloth of my shirt was pulled up as I tried to continue sleeping. "Hello there, little ones. It's your appa." Wonshik placed a hand towards the bottom of my stomach. "I'm sorry that I wasn't here for you guys. I was a bit of an idiot before but I promise to make it up to you and your umma." He placed two kisses on my stomach before rolling back down my shirt and curling next to me.

(A few hours later)

"Taekwoon, wake up, the university dean is here." Bora pulled the sheet off my head. Glaring at Wonshik, she helped me out of bed. "Noona, you're going to have to learn to like him, you know... or at least tolerate." She rolled her eyes. "If it wasn't for that damn claim, I would have told you to leave his ass. We could always help you take care of the twins. You know Seunghee loves babies and Minju is going to have to learn eventually." I held on to her, waddling down the steps. "That would be nice but he is going to have to learn as well too." Walking around the corner, Mrs. Oh sat on the couch talking with Seunghee. "Taekwoon dear, sorry for waking you so early." She stood to shake my hand. "It's not a problem." she sat back down, crossing her legs. "So you know, I have come on the behalf of your professors. They wanted to ask you this for quite some time but wanted to save you any possible embarrassment." she fiddled with her fingers, showing her nervousness. "Even though you have been with us for a few short weeks, you have been the pride and joy of many of the university professors and we never had a student come in with 2 and a half years worth of college credits to then be admitted to our medical school. As you see, we don't want to let you go no time soon but..." she casted a sad gaze onto my stomach. "Since the babies are due soon, we are scared that you'll fall behind in your classes." Seunghee and Bora erupted into a laugh, startling Mrs. Oh. "Taekwoon falling behind is the last thing you should worry about. You should worry about him getting ahead of the professors." 

Mrs. Oh looked at them confused. "Mrs. Oh, Taekwoon never lets anything come ahead of his work. I've seen this boy study when he was supposed to be relaxing. Have you ever heard of someone playing a video games while getting a head on school work?" Mrs Oh shook her head. "Exactly, so with all due respect, please don't worry about him too much. If he ever needs help, we will all be here." Mrs. Oh smiled before collecting her things. "I'm glad he has a loving family to help him out. I clearly wasn't needed." "It was nice seeing you again, Mrs. Oh." Seunghee smiled, shaking her hand before letting her out. 

"So... what was I woken up for?" she chuckled. "Nothing hun, you wanna go back to bed?" I shook my head. "There's no point now. Wonsh-" a wet feeling spread across my pants. "Taekwoon, are you okay?" Bora placed a hand on my shoulder. "I think I peed." my face started to heat up. "Hun, it's okay. It happens to the best of us." Seunghee laughed as she started to help me up. Pain shot up my back, my grip growing tighter on her wrist. Seunghee's eyes widened. "They maybe coming sooner than we thought." "Is it normal to feel nauseous in labor?" Bora ran and grabbed the garbage from out of the kitchen before I could throw up. "Do you remember if Hyemi ever went through this?" Seunghee asked. Bora shook her head. "Not that I can remember." Wonshik came downstairs rubbing his eyes. "Go put on clothes, dip wad, we're going to the hospital." he stopped rubbing his eyes and looked up at Bora before looking at me. "Hospital..." "Wonshik you have two second to get your ass upstairs and get the baby bag before I kick your ass." another contraction shot through me. "Wonshik, hurry the hell up!" he turned on his heels and ran upstairs. "Noona, can we go please?"

(At the hospital)

"Taekwoon hyung, are you excited?" Sanghyuk asked as he was curled up on Jaehwan's lap. "I am but I'm scared. It didn't feel this real until now." The nurse walked into the room, a soft smile on her face. "How you holding up?" she asked while she checked my vitals. "I've felt worse. The contractions are about 15 minutes apart." she nodded, writing on her clipboard. "The doctor will be in shortly to see how dilated you are."

(16 hours later)

Everything hurt. My arm was draped over my red face. "Taekwoon, do you want me to get the nurse to give you the epidural." Wonshik asked. "Yes but don't go, please." he chuckled. "How am I going to get the nurse?" "Hakyeon hyung, can you pl-" a contraction ripped through me, a choked cry left me. "How long ago was the last contraction?" Cha umma asked. "2 minutes." "Hakyeon, go get the doctor. Boys out, you too Wonshik. I don't need your wolf interfering with their birth." without arguing he quickly left the room.

A second cry filled the room and all the nurses cood over the baby. "It's a girl, Taek." Seunghee said, brushing my hair back with a gloved hand. "She looks exactly like you." The nurse cleaned up both of the girls before bringing them over. "What do you want to name them?" Cha umma asked from across the room. "Baby A's name is Kim Hyomin and baby B is Kim Hyolyn."
