Jungkook checks his phone for the nth time, shutting his macbook and packing it in the bag before he zips it close and sighs, leaning back in his chair while rubbing at his eyes.
It's way past the time he promised Jimin he'd be home so he shouldn't be late, considering his mate is heavily pregnant with twins on their way.
So without another thought, he shoots Jimin a message about him reaching back in 20 minutes tops, all the while dashing out of his office, nodding at the sparse employees who are still working.
He makes it to the elevator and presses the button, waiting for it to come up from the basement and when he steps inside he wishes for it to go faster from the 57th floor to the first.
Jungkook smiles at the security guards, wishing them a goodnight as he exits the building and clicks the button on his key, heading in the direction of where he heard the sound of his car lock opening amongst the sea of other cars.
He throws his bags in the back seat and pauses for a second to just look, remembering their other car; an SUV that has a baby seat already installed for Jooheon, thinks about how he should get two installed in this car too, luxury of the car be damned.
He shakes his head, smiling to himself as he gets inside and reverses the car out of the parking, checking his phone for a non existent text from Jimin before stepping on the gas pedal and going off into the night.
Its 10 pm and the roads still have a lot of traffic, not heavy, but cars are still scattered here and there and Jungkook still gets 2 red lights that he wants to jump but really can't, because of the cars in front of him.
Turning on the bluetooth, he tries calling Jimin, hoping he has managed to put Jooheon to sleep and is, god forbid, not in any kind of pain.
This excessive worry is the reason why, sometimes, Jungkook hates his job because no matter how much he is in the major leagues, he still has clients whom he needs to please to get them to sign deals with their company.
And the one thing he does not like is when he has to wait just because their clients think it's good to be late, good to not be punctual, as if the people waiting for them have the whole damn day.
Jungkook taps on the steering wheel, driving as fast and safely as he can as he enters the neighborhood where him and Jimin recently purchased a house and moved into.
A house.
With a lawn and a backyard which has enough space for swings for their kids and a kitchen that has a window which looks into the front yard and a garage which is wide enough for three cars, maximum.
Perfect for their family which was going to expand from 3 to 5 in some days.
Granted the fact that some of their major savings went into the purchase of this house but Jimin and Jungkook had been more than willing to give their kids a beautiful life where they could run around in a garden and help them plant new flowers or make new friends with the neighbor's kids.
Not to mention the fact that Jimin had already befriended the couple staying across the street from them.
So much so that now they had dinners with Seokjin and Namjoon who had a beautiful daughter who loved putting her ears over Jimin's bump and just talking to the kids.
Jeon Jooheon had been and still is enamoured by Kim Hyeri and follows her around everywhere, even in school and invites her to play with him in his sandbox or with the new toys he gets.
They have a precious friendship that they formed in less than 2 months and Jungkook couldn't have felt more content with what he has in his life.
When he finally reaches back home, he parks the car in front of their house, not bothering to take it in the garage because he really wants to see Jimin now.
All the lights of the house are switched off which means that Jooheon and Jimin have gone to sleep.
He picks up the stray toys scattered in the lobby and places them in the cardboard box by the couch, quietly creeping into his room upstairs.
The nightlight in their room is on and Jimin is asleep, sheets pooled around his legs as he keeps on rubbing his belly subconsciously, even in his sleep.
Soft breaths hit Jungkook's neck when he bends down to drop a kiss to Jimin's forehead before moving to the ensuite to freshen up and change into more comfortable clothes.
Feeling a little hungry, he goes back down to see what little he can salvage without making much noise and brings it back to his room to eat in silence and darkness.
He is on his phone, quietly eating some leftover chicken, checking his emails when the whole room lights up in a warm glow and Jungkook looks around in alarm before he takes a deep breath when he sees Jimin squinting up at him, arm outstretched and hand resting on the lamp switch on their bedside stand.
"You're back home?" Jimin asks groggily, trying to get up but Jungkook doesn't let him, coaxes him back to down to lie comfortably on his back.
"Yeah. Texted you too. Were you expecting me to be back even later?"
Jimin chuckles lightly at that, whispering back a reply, "you either come back by 8 or by midnight. There's really no in between for you Mr Jeon."
"How are you always right?" Jungkook asks humorously, almost in awe, while he looks at him dreamily and sighs before dropping a kiss to his nose.
"Jooheon didn't give you any trouble, did he?"
"Don't know. I was resting all day. Terrible cramps. Jin hyung took care of him and put him to bed."
At that Jungkook's Alpha instincts kick in as his hands immediately wrap around Jimin's bump, looking concerned.
"Does it still hurt a lot?"
"Had some hot water a little while back so felt better, but seems like these little ones aren't gonna let their eomma rest, are they?" He says the last bit of his sentence in a small baby voice, looking down at his stomach and smiling.
"Is that the issue? Shall papa talk to their babies and tell them to not hurt eomma?"
"Please do. They already love you more than me."
Jungkook scrunches his nose and laughs while he slides down on the bed, massaging Jimin's tummy and rolling up the oversized tshirt he is wearing and placing kisses all over the stretched skin.
"Haneul and Mina, what is this that I'm hearing? You've been giving eomma trouble?" Jungkook murmurs, lips shaping words over Jimin's belly as he tries not to giggle at the way it tickles.
Yes, they've already named the twins.
They named them the evening since they got to know their genders at the gender reveal party that they held with their closest friends and family.
Jimin still remembers Jooheon hurting himself while jumping around, shouting their decided names.
Jimin recently stuck that photo of his baby laughing and crying in the big book of memories that him and Jungkook have created. He can't wait to fill it up with even more photos of the twins and the three of them together.
Jimin wants all the timelines in there, from their young age to their teenage years and he's told Jungkook this, all excited, and Jungkook ofcourse agreed.
Jimin is smiling dopily at the scene in front of him, thinking of clicking a photo but before he can stretch for his phone, his smile is wiped off from his face for a second as he winces, grabbing Jungkook's wrist as he breathes heavily through the next cramp.
It doesn't help that the twins inside are kicking, excited to hear Jungkook's voice after a long day.
Jungkook has seen this happen before so he doesn't lose his shit, like he did when Jooheon was about to happen, and let's Jimin squeeze his wrist all he wants, all the while he softly massages the bump to make the cramp go away, murmuring sweet words to get their kids to calm down.
When it's gone and Jimin opens his tear stained eyes, Jungkook doesn't spare another second to crawl back up and take Jimin's face in his hands and wipe at his eyes and peck his lips until Jimin's breathing goes back to normal.
"Does it still pain?"
Jimin sniffs and burrows his face in Jungkook's neck, "A little."
Jungkook rubs his back calmly, talking about how they should go see the OB/GYN.
"It was never like this during Jooheon. I hope Mina and Haneul are okay." Jimin whispers against Jungkook's neck, inhaling his calming scent as Jungkook assures him that they are.
He knows how easily Jimin can get scared so he makes sure to assure his husband as many times as he can.
Besides the due date is 2 weeks away and Jungkook doesn't think that can be the reason why Jimin is having strong bouts of cramps.
They are certainly not Braxton Hicks contractions and Jungkook really wishes to go see their doctor.
Which is why when he tells Jimin to lie back down while he brings him some hot water and checks up on Jooheon, he books an appointment with their doctor for the next day and makes sure to call Taehyung, his assistant and also Jimin's best friend, to cancel all his meetings and send in an email about his leave.
After getting some warm water for Jimin, he walks down the hallway to go see their son, tucking him in more snugly and placing his unicorn, that had fallen down on the floor, back on the bed.
"Goodnight champ. Have sweet dreams baby boy." He whispers, dropping another kiss on his nose and leaving.
Jungkook comes back to the room to the sight of Jimin trying to get up.
"I need to pee." He says or more like whines and Jungkook helps him up carefully and supports his back all the way to the en suite.
"Don't lock the door. Do you want to eat something?" Jungkook asks, standing outside the door and waiting for Jimin's reply.
"...tangerines and pizza."
Jungkook isn't even surprised or grossed out at the combination as he mumbles out an okay and still waits for Jimin to be done so that he can get him safely back to bed.
When Jungkook carefully walks Jimin back to their bed, he makes sure to get out a heat pad for Jimin's aching back and gets him all comfortable before telling him to sit back as he warms up pizza for him and gets him tangerines.
Jungkook leaves the room but he doesn't notice Jimin's whimpering as he finally lets out the breath he had been holding and the pained grunt that he lets out when another cramp hits him. He bunches the sheets in his hands and fists them tightly, gritting his teeth from shouting out loud as another cramp hits when the first one hasn't even gone away.
He holds tight, breathes heavily, knowing he shouldn't worry Jungkook for naught as he blinks back the tears in his eyes, biting his lips hard enough to draw blood.
5 minutes pass but the pain increases instead of lessening and when finally Jimin can't hold it in anymore, he lets out a loud sob and painful groan as his whole body wracks up with nerves that are not the good kind.
He can't take it anymore without Jungkook by his side so he calls out to him, but it's apparently not loud enough because Jungkook doesn't come barging in.
Before Jimin can shift or get out of bed, he feels sudden wetness spread on the mattress beneath and it's then that the contractions hit him with full force.
"JUNGKOOK!" Jimin shouts as loud as he can, his voice scratching as he holds his bump protectively and sniffles with how much it pains.
It feels as if his insides are caving in and folding and unfolding again and again.
Jimin nearly slides down to the floor as tears blur his vision and cries out loudly for his husband.
He doesn't hear the door to the room slamming against the wall as Jungkookrushes in hurriedly, eyes wide and wild when he looks at Jimin state
"Fuck fuck baby are you okay?" He asks and immediately regrets it as Jimin glares at him through his tears.
"I'm fucking having contractions Jeon!" He shouts right in his face, throwing his head back to cry, "My water broke, how the fuck do you think I'm okay?"
And Jungkook doesn't want a repeat of what happened with Jooheon but he panics.
Again.
He can't help it. It's hard as it is to see Jimin crying and in pain.
He chants a mantra of okays and it'll be fines, pacing the floor in front of Jimin as he fumbles with his phone and drops it, sweat beading on his forehead when everything gets muddled in his brain and he hates being confused as to what to do first
He's a terrible husband during times like these.
He knows.
"God, fuck Jungkook do something!" Jimin whines loudly, breathing in and out to maintain his own head, watching as Jungkook kneels in front of him with tears in his own eyes.
He looks lost and even in his worst state Jimin feels bad for him. But he is in fucking pain with two babies ready to come out before their scheduled time and he needs his husband to understand that.
So he does what comes to his mind.
He slaps Jungkook hard, gripping the edge of the bed tightly before cupping Jungkook's face and making him look in his eyes.
"Kookie, our babies," he whispers softly and he sees something change in Jungkook's eyes as he nods continuously and grabs his phone, dialling Seokjin's number.
Jimin is still cupping his face, crying through the contractions and trying not to yell as Jungkook holds Jimin's wrist in between his fingers and tells Seokjin about their current situation.
Once he's done, he doesn't waste another second in getting Jimin out of their room where they find their son crying right outside their room door with his unicorn in his hand.
"Heon baby, eomma and papa have to go to the doctor urgently, my love. You're going to stay with Hyeri until then." Jungkook doesn't expect Jooheon to throw a fit at hearing Hyeri's name, but he does as he runs in Jimin's direction and wraps himself around his leg, refusing to stop crying or let go.
Jimin is already feeling weak and Jungkook can tell but he still shrugs off Jungkook's hold and makes Jooheon look at him
"Sweetie, eomma's in pain. Eomma needs to go please. Papa and I will come back so soon my love. Please." He whispers the last plea before he clutches his belly and almost doubles over and maybe Jooheon understands his mother's situation, nods and backs away, letting Jungkook help a crying Jimin till the door where they find Seokjin waiting with a sleepy Hyeri who feels more awake when Jooheon rushes to hug her. She pats his back sympathetically and tells him that it will be fine.
Seokjin wipes Jimin's tears and tells him to be strong.
"Namjoon will drive you guys, I had a baby bag prepared and he has it in the car. Jungkook-"
"Yes hyung okay we've done this before thank you." Jungkook tells him as politely as he can without sounding rude in a hurry as they hear Namjoon honking and he doesn't think too much when he picks Jimin up with his hands behind his knees and back and carries him to the car. Namjoon opens the door for them and hurries back to the front to drive them away as soon as Jimin is seated inside.
Jungkook has never seen Namjoon drive as fast as he does now and Jungkook is thankful because Jimin seems to get more and more tired by the second.
And this, what Jungkook sees, had not happened during Jooheon.
"Baby, keep your eyes open. Look at me. Breathe with me." Jungkook urges gently, ignoring Jimin's sharp replies of 'can't you see I'm trying?'
He knows how Jimin can get during labor and it's okay. He can't even imagine what his mate is going through.
"Jimin-ah, hold on for your kids. Mina and Haneul are going to see this world soon. Think of the good things. You still have to sit through the dilation process."
At this, Jimin screams out in pain, hand infinitely more tighter over Jungkook's as he remembers how he'll have to sit through the pain for an hour or two.
"Hyung!" Jungkook exclaims incredulously, "not helping."
Namjoon, looking at them through the rear view mirror, shuts his mouth after that and drives even faster.
When they finally reach the hospital, Jungkook doesn't waste time in getting a wheelchair for Jimin, instead carries him inside quickly, shouting for nurses to tend to him.
They in turn make Jimin sit on a wheelchair and take him to a room to conduct some tests.
Jungkook waits outside, grateful when Namjoon runs inside to support him.
"He's gonna be fine Jungkook-ah." Namjoon assures him and Jungkook knows and wants to believe it but-
"He looked way more tired than when we had Jooheon, hyung. I don't know how he'll sit through the labor pains."
"He will. Its fine. Jin sat through 5 hours before Hyeri decided it was finally time to come out." Namjoon chuckles, making Jungkook smile a little too.
As soon as Jungkook is finally relaxing, the nurse comes out but his tension is relieved when she smiles at him.
"Your husband is fine. Your babies are fine too. We've given him a mild epidural that's helping him cope with the pain. You can visit him inside and help him sit through the labor."
"Uh, how long does he have to wait?"
"As far as we have checked Mr Jeon, 3 hours tops for maximum dilation before we shift to another room for the delivery. It can be less too."
"Okay. Yeah. Is Dr. Yuna here?" He asks, not able to keep the worry out if his tone.
"No, but she will be arriving in 30 minutes. Any questions that you have, she'll be happy to answer."
That calms Jungkook alot as he sighs loudly when the nurse is gone and immediately barges inside the room, startling Jimin a little who is now reading a magazine.
"Hey love, how do you feel?" Jungkook asks, sitting down beside Jimin in the little space on the bed and laying his head down on his chest, waiting for Jimin's fingers to tangle in his hair.
This is already stressing him out way more than Jimin himself and Jungkook is so sure that this is not a responsible- looking out for the family- alpha behaviour.
"I'm okay now. The question is, are you okay?" Jimin laughs, obviously feeling fine with the anesthetic in his blood.
"What?! I'm fine. What happened to me? pft nothing."
"Yeah you almost had a panic attack when my water broke just the way you had when Jooheon was about to be born. Speaking of which," Jimin urges Jungkook to look up at him, "how's Jooheon?"
When Jungkook doesn't answer, Jimin looks at him with wide eyes and hits him over his head with the magazine.
"You- Jungkook! You didn't call him? Our baby boy was scared shitless and you didn't call him?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry jeez I'll call him now."
"You better." Jimin tells him with an obvious expression, not believing that his mate forgot to do something so important.
God, hospitals and deliveries freaked Jungkook out way too much.
He doesn't get a nice signal inside the room so he kisses Jimin's forehead and leaves, asking Namjoon to look after his husband.
When he comes back after assuring his baby that no, eomma is not hurt and that yes, he'll meet his brother and sister when they come back, he finds Jimin and Namjoon walking a small distance inside the room, talking through the little uneasiness Jungkook knows Jimin still feels.
When they notice Jungkook, Namjoon hands Jimin back to his husband and squeezes his shoulder, telling him that he's outside if they need him.
It's been almost an hour and a half and Jungkook doesn't know what to do about how Jimin keeps whining about the fact that it hurts and he's getting bored.
In the end Jungkook makes him sit down on the edge of the bed, takes out his phone and puts on a slow song, spreading his hand in front of Jimin in an invitation for a slow dance.
"5 years to our marriage and you still dance better than me, even when you're pregnant." Jungkook whispers against Jimin's temples, even though he guides the majority of their steps from the centre to the corner and back to the centre.
Its slow and gentle and soft and its them.
Jungkook can't help but remember their marriage night when they'd danced like this, holding each other close and just being happy.
Well right now he feels even happier because he has a family with the man he loves and that family is about to expand.
When Jungkook feels Jimin's steps slowing he makes him comfortably sit down on the bed again before he kneels on the floor between Jimin's legs, ear attached to the bump, talking in such hushed whispers that even Jimin doesn't understand what he's saying to their babies.
So he busies himself playing with Jungkook's hair that have gotten longer and that Jungkook refuses to get cut.
Jimin gathers them up in a pony and then leaves them lose because he can't find a hair tie.
He pouts for a second but then there is a hair tie in front of his eyes, between Jungkook's fingers.
"I know you like tying my hair so I always carry it."
He murmurs and Jimin feels tears spring to his eyes as he takes the hair tie and puts Jungkook's hair in a little pony on the top of his head that just slides to the back.
Then he opens his hair again and ties them in a bun, cradles Jungkook's face and pulls him up to kiss him.
The effects of the epidural seem to be weakening because Jimin starts crying again in the middle of the kiss, whimpering for his mate to call the doctors.
"K-ookie," he breathes so heavily, making grabby hands at Jungkook who is standing by the door, waiting for the nurse.
"Hey hey minnie baby, it'll be okay."Jungkook tells Jimin, nervousness blooming in his stomach because Jimin, this time, is not yelling at him and that felt kind of… not normal.
Jimin's eyelashes are fluttering almost as if he is on the verge of falling asleep as he sways side to side before Jungkook makes him lie back down.
It's when Dr. Yuna enters the room, the first shout is heard escaping Jimin's mouth and it almost makes Jungkook tremble.
He hates to see his Jimin in pain, eyes flush with tears as he thrashes on the bed while the nurse gives him an extra dose of epidural and the doctor checks for the dilation.
"It's time." She says and calls for other nurses, getting ready with a coat, mask and gloves.
Jungkook holds Jimin through the time all the nurses surround him, wipes the sweat off his brow and tries to calm him down.
"Who do you think will come out first huh? Mina or Haneul?" Jungkook asks, trying to keep his voice from shaking but then Jimin arches his neck, which is all red and looks into his eyes with his own teary ones and Jungkook almost breaks, almost tells the doctor to perform surgery.
But Jimin didn't want a caesarean so Jungkook keeps quiet, kisses his forehead instead and tells him how their world is going to become infinitely more beautiful when their kids come into it.
And then the doctor tells Jimin to push.
Jungkook swears this wasn't as painful during Jooheon's time as it looks now. Jungkook swears he almost gives up with how loud Jimin screams in agony, head tilted to the side and continuous tears escaping his eyes.
He curses Jungkook, calls him names but Jungkook doesn't care because Jimin, at the same time, squeezes his hand tries to bury his face in his neck.
The doctor gives Jungkook a thumbs up and he urges Jimin to push hard once more and then they hear the loud cries of their first baby and Jungkook almost sobs with how beautiful they look even when covered in blood and amniotic fluids.
"Congratulations, here's your boy," a nurse says passing the bundle of joy into Jungkook's arms after wrapping him in a blanket.
He brings their baby closer and shows him to Jimin who smiles once before flopping down on the bed, tired.
But there is something wrong and Jungkook can sense it as the nurse takes their boy to get him cleaned up and Jungkook immediately grasps Jimin's hand again only to not feel his mate squeezing back.
"Jimin, baby, hey!" Jungkook tries, cupping Jimin's face and watching his eyes as they try to open but keep on falling shut.
His breaths come out in small puffs and his whole face is a little pale, flushed nonetheless.
"J-Jimin, love, come on. For our baby girl." Jungkook urges and Jimin tries, he really does, but he just can't put in anymore effort as he almost loses consciousness, his head lolling to the side.
Jungkook is frantic when he worries for his mate and his baby, hearing the heart monitor give out a sound that is a little different from the previous one.
"His blood pressure is falling, he's too tired. He can't push. We need to perform a surgery." The doctor says hurriedly, the nurse pushing Jungkook away from the bed to prepare for the surgery.
"B-but-" Jungkook starts only to be cut off by the doctor.
"Mr Jeon, it is advised that you wait outside. We need to perform the c-section as soon as possible for the safety of the baby and your mate. He's tired he can't push. Please understand."
Jungkook's lips tremble and his voice gets stucks and he shakes his head while being escorted out by a nurse.
"Will he be okay?" He asks quickly and the doctor smiles slightly at him and nods and the door closes in his face.
Namjoon is there outside, standing beside Seokjin who has their son sleeping in his arms.
Jungkook needs every ounce of comfort he can get, so he wastes no time in gently taking Jooheon from Seokjin and rocking him so that keeps on sleeping.
Jungkook cries but hides his tears in Jooheon's shoulder.
He feels Hyeri hug his leg when she senses the discomfort in the air and he looks at her and then her parents who have expressions on their face that clearly say that everything will turn out fine.
And then Seokjin opens his arms and Jungkook collapses in them, not aware of Namjoon taking Jooheon from him as Seokjin rubs his back and lets him cry out.
He's so scared and so worried about his baby and his mate.
Jungkook does not know what happened, where he went wrong in the care of his mate and baby. Maybe he should've come back home early. Maybe he should've taken a leave from the office and focused more on his family.
And now because he didn't, Jimin is in there, getting a c-section that he never wanted and is extremely tired with his blood pressure falling which isn't all that good.
"Yah Jungkook-ah, stop blaming yourself. It's not your fault or Jimin's. Sometimes it happens with twins. Delivering one kid is painful enough, how do you think Jimin will deliver two without not getting tired halfway through?" Seokjin tries to make him understand but the ball of anxiety in his stomach still does not dissipate.
His heart is still beating so fast because of how scared he is.
"Yeah, believe it or not, its normal." Namjoon tells him quietly from where he sits on the chair with a sleeping Jooheon in his arms and an active hyeri trying to climb up his lap.
Jungkook is about to say something, try to explain it to them that it's not that easy when the door to Jimin's room opens and all the nurses filter out first before the doctor.
She walks up to him with another baby in her arms and hands her to Jungkook, "Congratulations, your girl is as healthy as she can be." She says and Jungkook has already fallen in love with how she scrunches her whole face as she yawns, eyes falling shut cutely.
But there is still the issue about Jimin's health and the doctor understands it which is why she lingers back until Jungkook hands their baby to the nurse standing by the doctor, to clean her up and place her in the nursery.
"Jimin is absolutely fine." Dr Yuna says firsthand as soon as Jungkook turns around to talk to her.
The breath he had been holding wooshes out of him in a second and he almost cries again.
Out of relief.
The doctor pats him on his shoulder and tells him that he can see Jimin but that he is resting right now because of excess exhaustion.
"Its normal to experience fatigue while delivering. It happens with single deliveries too, there is nothing to worry about Mr Jeon. I'm assuming he didn't eat anything before he went into labor?" The doctor asks and Jungkook immediately hates himself for the fact that he doesn't know if his husband had anything before the pizza and tangerines he desired.
"Uh.. I was actually heating something for him when he went into labor. Before that, um, I was at work so…" Jungkook trails off pathetically, ignoring the doctor's reaction of a small 'oh'.
Seokjin comes to his rescue by telling the doctor that Jimin had not had much except for some snacks that he munched on.
The doctor listens carefully but that doesn't help Jungkook's now sullen mood.
When Dr Yuna addresses him again, he listens as carefully as he can so as to not miss anything.
"So his last proper meal before he went into labor was lunch. And he even exerted himself a little by walking around the house and playing a little with the kids. Which explains his exhaustion." The doctor tells Jungkook and he nods in response, keeping everything in mind.
"Jungkook-ssi, this was Jimin's second pregnancy and I'd suggest that you give full attention to your family right now. With how tired Jimin will be in the coming days, you'll have to take some major responsibility of not only looking after the kids but also your mate.
"Also, sometimes with patients who aren't mentally ready for the surgery but still have to get it done, we see some postpartum depression. So, you'll not only have to take care of Jimin physically but also psychologically."
"Yes, yes absolutely I will. I'm sorry I-"
The doctor chuckles and squeezes his shoulder encouragingly, "no need to apologise. You're a good mate and a good father. Take care." With that she leaves Jungkook who looks back at his hyung's uncertainly, to only get a smack on the forehead.
"Go inside Jungkook. Be there with Jimin."
They give him time alone to sit and talk to his husband who is sleeping peacefully. It doesn't stop Jungkook from stroking his face lovingly and telling him how much he scared him
After a while, he lets his hyungs enter the room and Jooheon has woken up by now and is demanding why his eomma is not up too.
"Heon baby, eomma will wake up. Eomma is tired. Do you want to go meet your brother and sister?"
And of course the now older brother wants to see his new sibling because he nods over enthusiastically as Jungkook tells him to stay put inside the room and play with Hyeri until he gets them from the nursery.
It doesn't take him too much time as he carries both his babies in his arms and walks behind a nurse who will take out the bassinets for the newborns.
What Jungkook doesn't expect when he reaches the room is for his son to be all over his mate, talking to him and kissing his cheeks while Jimin smiles and tells their son that he is okay.
"Jimin," Jungkook breathes out in relief, smile lighting up his face when his mate looks at him and then at their kids, smiling dopily.
The nurse is quick to roll out the two bassinets before leaving the family alone and Jungkook has no shame in admitting that he carefully places Mina and Haneul in the bassinets and doesn't waste a second to hug his husband.
"You..you scared me." He starts, finally breaking down and sobbing into Jimin's neck, "You scared me so much baby. Don't ever do that again. Are you okay? tell me. Does it hurt anywhere? I'm sorry I'm so sorry-" Jungkook rambles on and on until Jimin is shushing him with a small kiss to his lips, "My big softie alpha, I'm alright. Fatigue is normal. I love you."Jimin whispers, looking into Jungkook's teary eyes and wiping his cheeks.
"Now, get off me. Let me hold my kids, I want time cooing over their cheeks too."
💞
When they come back home with their kids, Jimin gets comfortable on the couch until Jungkook tells him that he has set the rooms and that Jimin can bring the twins up.
Jooheon wanders around, not sure what to do but Jimin makes sure that the eldest brother does not feel left out because of which he asks his baby to help his eomma up the stairs.
Jooheon is more than happy to help even though his help involves standing behind Jimin as he takes one step at a time, like a soldier ready to protect him.
When they both reach the room on the first floor, the one beside Jooheon's, Jimin tells him that he did a great job helping his mother.
In the next second he gets swooshed up in the air as Jungkook gathers him in his arms and blows raspberries on his stomach and his drops big wet kisses on his face, loving the way his baby squeals out in laughter.
"Our big soldier." Jungkook murmurs, carrying Jooheon inside behind Jimin in the twins' room.
When Jimin has placed the twins gently in their respective cribs, he stays watching over them for sometime until Jungkook puts Jooheon to sleep and then joins him too.
They spend the night in that room, on the carpeted floor, taking turns to get up and shush their crying kids or just even gaze at them.
And when Jungkook is the one who puts Haneul to sleep after rocking him carefully, he looks at both his kids and then Jimin who is now cuddled up to Jooheon, who had sneaked into the room after he'd heard whispers coming from it and then told his papa and eomma that he wants to sleep with them.
And just like that, Jungkook smiles lovingly at his family, knowing he finally has the whole world in front of him.
