"hansollie?" seungkwan mumbled, reaching for his boyfriend.

"mm?" hansol's arms wrapped around him and he pressed their cheeks together. "you okay, boo?"

"i had a bad dream," seungkwan whimpered, clinging to hansol.

"baby," hansol said, pulling away a little to look at seungkwan in the semi-darkness. "don't cry, kwannie..."

seungkwan sniffled and hansol carefully wiped his tears.

"what happened?" he asked softly.

"i h-had the baby..." seungkwan choked out, "but suddenly she was g-gone and i couldn't f-find her anywhere- hansol-"

"oh my god," hansol murmured, pulling seungkwan into his chest. he stroked his hair until he had calmed down somewhat. "our little chwe is still here, right here," he whispered, rubbing the side of seungkwan's tummy gently. "and we're gonna see her again today, aren't we?"

"y-yeah," seungkwan sniffed.

"it was just a dream," said hansol, kissing his boyfriend's forehead. "everything's okay."

"wait," seungkwan said, frowning. "you called the baby 'her'!"

"uh..."

seungkwan leapt up onto his knees, punching the air. "told you it was a girl!"

"seungkwan-" hansol began, placing two hands on seungkwan's bump, which was showing quite a bit by now.

"i told you," he said smugly.

"oh, come on," hansol grumbled.

seungkwan giggled and poked hansol  repetitively until the brunette wrestled him down onto the mattress.

"sollie!" seungkwan whined, shrieking when hansol began to tickle his sides. "oh my god, hansol- stop!"

hansol laughed loudly, collapsing on the bed beside his boyfriend and cuddling him gently.

"i swear to god, that laugh is deadass the dumbest thing i have ever heard."

"too bad you have to hear it everyday," hansol said with a wink.

"hansol, she's so cute, i love her," seungkwan squealed as he clutched the photograph, his other hand clinging to hansol's as they left the surgery.

"they didn't check the gender, though," hansol mused. he grinned and squeezed seungkwan's hand.

seungkwan frowned at him. "it's nice if it's a surprise, sollie," he grumbled.

"but you know it's a girl," hansol teased. he checked his watch. "i have to go soon, baby."

"that's okay, sollie," he told him, standing on his tiptoes to kiss his boyfriend as they stopped on the sidewalk. "i'm meeting jeonghan and wonwoo soon for a mom's meet up."

"cute," hansol chuckled, opening the passenger door for seungkwan when they reached the car. "want me to drop you off at the cafe?"

"yes, please," he replied cutely.

"okay, boo," hansol said, pressing a kiss to the top of his head before carefully closing the door and going round to the driver's seat.

seungkwan sang along to the radio, complaining half-heartedly when hansol joined in out-of-tune.

"here we are, princess," hansol said formally, laughing when seungkwan went bright red.

"i don't like that. hansol, i don't like that," seungkwan said in a serious tone, shaking his head. "never ever call me that again, please."

hansol but his lip to stop laughing. "i'm sorry, boo," he said, reaching for his hand. "are you okay to get out-?"

"yes, i'm only five months along, gosh," seungkwan huffed, flapping a hand. he opened the car door and climbed out, hands supporting his bump. "bye-bye!"

"don't i get a kiss before you go?" hansol questioned.

seungkwan rolled his eyes and slammed the car door shut. he appeared around the other side and knocked on the window, prompting hansol to roll it down.

"you're such a dummy," seungkwan tutted, leaning in to kiss him.

"you love me, though," hansol said with a pout.

"of course i love your stupid ass," seungkwan told him, parting his cheek. "see you later, sollie."

"see you later, boo," hansol replied, watching with a smile as seungkwan walked towards the cafe. it was so cute how his boyfriend was even more cuddly the bigger his baby bump got, and how seungkwan was already starting to waddle as he walked. adorable.

"wonwoo!" seungkwan exclaimed, grabbing the tall man in a hug.

"you're looking well, kwan," wonwoo conplimented, cracking a smile as he pulled away from the hug. "she's getting big now."

seungkwan nodded proudly. "you're almost showing, wonwoo," he said, placing a hand on wonwoo's tummy.

"yeah," wonwoo mumbled. "jeonghan's over there."

seungkwan looked over to see a beaming jeonghan, little jeonghwa in his arms.

"she's growing so much, every time i see her," seungkwan cooed as he and wonwoo sat down at the table. "how are you holding up, mommy?"

"jeonghwa's not as bad as seungwon, that's for sure," jeonghan said with a grin. "she sleeps through most of the night now, thankfully."

"i hope my baby doesn't wake every hour," wonwoo mumbled.

seungkwan nearly awed out loud.

"you'll be just fine," jeonghan told him, reaching over to pat his arm.

"want to order?" seungkwan asked brightly.

"i'll pay," wonwoo offered, "i worked overtime this week."

"stop working overtime," jeonghan said, pretending to be stern. "you're pregnant, you don't need to do overtime. just read books and drink tea all day."

"is that what you did?" seungkwan asked amused.

"i mostly ate and watched gossip girl," jeonghan replied with a shrug. "i still have to catch up on pretty little liars, though."

"god, that show is garbage," wonwoo chuckled.

"gossip girl is good, though," seungkwan said.

"...yeah," wonwoo said.

"you watch gossip girl!?"

"i have to go order," wonwoo said quickly. "chai latte? chai latte?" he said to jeonghan and seungkwan in turn.

"keeping up with our trend," jeonghan commented, alluding to their almost-weekly meetups at the usual cafe when they all ordered chai lattes. they'd been keeping it up for five weeks, and wonwoo was hoping he wouldn't get bored of chai lattes soon.

"three chai lattes, please," wonwoo said to the cashier who he had come to know as chan.

"coming right up," chan said with a smile. "ah, congratulations," he added with a glance towards wonwoo's tummy that was hidden by his sweater.

wonwoo found himself smiling; he started to well up a little. "thank you, chan."
