What was that?’ he thought. As he about to stand up to get something to drink a pang of pain hit his belly. He clutched his stomach while groaning in pain. The pain he felt earlier came back, and it was only 3 hours that he’s been sleeping.
He tried to suppress his voice so he won’t woke Chanyeol up, but as if disagree to him, a strong pain hit him. He ended groaned loudly, loud enough to make Chanyeol stirred in his sleep.
“Tao?” Chanyeol reached out his hand to find Tao already sitting in the edge of the bed. He sat up while rubbing his eyes. “Tao? What’s wrong?”
Tao felt the pain subsided. After gathered his energy he looked at Chanyeol’s direction and force a smile, “nothing hyung, go back to sleep. I’ll just get something to- uughhhg.” He ended bending his body while clutching to his shirt tightly. Chanyeol who realized something wasn’t right hurriedly came to Tao and kneeled in front of the panting boy.
“Hey, babe what’s wrong? You’re in pain? Is the baby behaving again?” Chanyeol asked worriedly. Tao didn’t answer in order to catch his breath, he then felt the pain gone slowly. He exhaled deeply.
“Yeah, I guess the baby just want me to walk around like usual.” Tao sighed while trying to get up. Chanyeol helped him and they made their way to the living room. On the way there Tao feel no pain, but still felt many movements from his baby. Chanyeol sat him on the couch and gone to kitchen to get some water.
“You sure you okay? Should we go to the hospital?” Chanyol gave him the glass as the boy gulped it slowly. He putted down the glass and shook his head.
“No, I’m fine. The pain had gone.” Tao rubbed his stomach gently. He lay his back on the backrest, trying to be relax. Chanyeol sat beside him as he patted the boy hands encouraging. Few minutes later then Tao felt the same pain hit him.
“Tao, I think we need to go to the hospital. This is unusual, you usually didn’t feel this kind of pain, right?” he asked, but once again Tao shook his head.
“I’ll be fine hyung.” He answered shortly. Sweats on his forehead racing to his chin.
“Do you thing the baby is coming?” Chanyeol asked full of worried, he swept the sweat from Tao’s forehead.
“No, her due is next week. She still has 2 weeks to go.” Tao squeezed his eyes. Somehow the pain has a kind of period. After sometimes the pain will be gone, and then come back moments later.
“Who knows Tao, Dr.Jung said that baby might came weeks earlier or later from their due.” Chanyeol squezed Tao’s hands. “Please? At least just to make sure the baby is alright.”
The thought of his baby in danger made Tao nod his head.
On the way to hospital Tao winced in pain couples of time. it was so hard for Chanyeol to ignore his beloved one’s cries, but he had to focus on riding the car. Sometimes when he had the chance, he held Tao’s hand to calm him down.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital the nurses help Tao to get into his room, waiting for Dr.Jung to arrive. Tao refused to lay down, he decided to sit even walking around.
“The pain decreased when I move.” He said to Chanyeol who asked him why the latter didn’t want to lay down. Not long after Dr.Jung arrived and took some examination at Tao, to their surprise she only smiled at the couple.
“Well, I guess you’re going this little guy out tonight.”
“b-but shouldn’t she come next week?” Tao asked, terrified that something was happening to his baby. Dr.Jung patted his leg calming him a little.
“It’s normal Tao for the baby to come earlier from when predicted. And guess what? You almost ready to push now. What to do?” She smirked playfully at the boys. To rolled his eyes.
“Do what you should do then,” Chanyeol eyed her with hands on hips. Dr.Jung only chuckled.
“Easy tigers, I’ll get the nurses prepare the tub then.” She cheerfully walked out from the room. The others could only sighed.
“You okay?” Chanyeol appeared beside Tao, once again Tao rolled his eyes.
“How many time you have asked that question today?” he asked with joking smile. Chanyeol just shrugged.
“A hundred?”
“Yeah, right.” They fell in silence with smiles on their face. Tao still feeling the pain, of course, but he controlled his groan. A hands suddenly placed on his stomach.
“My baby will be here tonight~” he kissed the almost explode stomach. Tao smiled.
“hyung, what if.... what if it is not a girl we will be having?” Tao asked woriedly.
“And why do you think like that?” the poodle was too busy playing with Tao’s stretched stomach skin to look into the younger’s eyes.
“I just got the feeling somehow... a boy instead of a girl.” He sighed. He was afraid of disappointing Chanyeol who really excited to get a girl as his first child.
“Are you kidding me? Of course I’ll be happy!” he stated.
“b-but, didn’t you want to have a girl
