Secrets Within The Garden [under-editing & Rewriting]

Time passed and Taehyung felt more sick. He began to lose weight, leaving him pale. He would spend his nights crying not knowing what was going on with him. Jungkook would feel guilty watching him like this. The pains grew worse every day. Taehyung would cry loudly calling out for a stop to this. His stomach began to bloat too, it was most noticeable since he lost weight.

Taehyung held his stomach, he began to poke it with his finger. It felt odd. He walked up to the tall mirror and lifted up his shirt. He just looked at himself for a second, this was strange.

Jungkook walked in spotting Taehyung in this position. "Hey?"

Taehyung turned quickly, pulling down his shirt. "I- um." Taehyung walked away and grabbed his sweater.

"I read online some good snacks for you to eat." Jungkook smiled softly sitting in front of Taehyung. Taehyung smiled down at Jungkook, "I don't know what I've been sick with, but I'm sorry. This was supposed to be something peaceful." Jungkook held Taehyung's hand, "I'm here to protect you remember? Now come on, eat this."

Jungkook handed Taehyung a cup of fruit. He grabbed the small fork and fed some to the sick man. Taehyung for the first time felt something come down, he continued to eat until there was none left. "I guess the fruits are a yes?" Jungkook chuckled.

Taehyung leaned onto Jungkook's arms. "Are you full?" Jungkook asked. Taehyung shook his head.

He sighed, "How about I prepare you a light dinner? Plus, I have to go pick something up really quick." Taehyung looked up at Jungkook and pulled him into a kiss, "Don't take too long." He smiled.

Jungkook left right after, leaving Taehyung alone again. He looked around the house, and with the little bit of energy he had decided to clean the home.

Taehyung made his way to the bathroom where he began to clean up the cabinets. He reached to clean a top shelf when something fell down. He looked down and picked up a pink box. "What is this?" He read the box, it was a pregnancy test.

Taehyung looked at the box, before looking at himself in the mirror. He lifted up his shirt again looking at the small bump on his stomach. This wasn't normal and he feared the worst not going to the doctor. He couldn't go, he was supposed to be dead. He thought this might be a consequence to him coming back. He placed his hand over the bump and closed his eyes, a warmth came over him.

He opened his eyes and looked at the box once again. He laughed at himself for thinking such foolish things but, what's the worse that can happen.

He was going to take the test.

He kept laughing to himself as he opened the box. He looked over at the instructions, "Easy test...delivers answer within five minutes." He read as he pulled out the test.

"Why." Taehyung sighed as he put the box down. He looked at the test and closed his eyes.

When he was done he placed the test upside down and washed his hands. He went into his bedroom and sat there waiting. What would happen if it was positive? Would that be a worse outcome? He placed his hand back on his stomach and closed his eyes.

The timer on his phone went off and he slowly made his way back to the bathroom. His hand shook as he stood in front of the flipped test. He was slowly doubting himself until he took a deep breath and flip over the test.

Positive...

It was positive.

Taehyung's vision blurred with tears. He fell to the floor and placed his hand over his mouth. Muffled cries heard as he held tightly onto his chest. How? How could this be, he was a man not a woman.

He stood up and lifted up his shirt once more. His shaking hands slowly made their way to his stomach. He pressed it a bit feelings his heart skip a beat. He put himself in the idea in where he could have children of his own. What if this wasn't what it was, what if it was something else? He sat on the floor and began to quietly cry again.

"Honey, I'm home!" Jungkook walked into the home with a bag in hand. There was no response, "Tae?" Jungkook called out again. He worried and quickly made his way to each room.

He walked into the bathroom and found Taehyung crying to himself. He quickly dropped everything and wrapped Taehyung in his arms, "What's wrong?" He kissed the mans head.

Taehyung wiped his tears, "Do you love me?" He asked quietly.

"Of course!" Jungkook kissed Taehyung. Taehyung pulled away and sat in front of Jungkook.

"I'm so confused." Taehyung began to cry, "I'm so sorry." He handed Jungkook the test.

Jungkook looked down at the test, "What is this?" Taehyung shook his head not wanting to look at the man in his eyes.

Jungkook looked at it again, realization hit him. "Taehyung-" Jungkook looked at him, "Are you?"

Taehyung nodded, "It was positive." He cried once more. "I don't know how! I don't!" He covered his face.

"I'm- going to be a father?" Jungkook whispered looking down at the test.

He was going to have a child, to teach and to love. Confused once again on how this happened yet, excitement filled his heart. He'd be called father, he'd finally be just like his.

Jungkook pulled Taehyung close, as they both cried on each other's arms. "I'm going to be a father!" Jungkook kissed Taehyung. "A child of our own! To share and experience new adventures with!" They held each other. Jungkook smiled, "A child, Tae. Our child..."

Jungkook's smiled slowly faded.

Taehyung noticed this immediately.

"The test was positive..." Jungkook quickly looked back at the test. "Taehyung..." Jungkook looked at his lover, "I want to believe this fantasy but-"

Taehyung's smile slowly faded.

"Are you sure this isn't cancer?"
