“Mom, how was I as a child?” Yonghwa asks. One minute earlier he had just called his mom. She was just in the middle of asking him what he ate when he suddenly interrupted her with his random question.

“You were great son. You were so adorable that everyone wanted to play with you.” His mother answered cheerfully.

“Was it hard taking care of me?” Yonghwa dug a little further. “How was I as a baby? Was I difficult? “

His mother paused for a second to absorb all of his questions before answering. “As a baby you were quiet and you didn’t cry much. Always cheerful and happy and you did fine on your own. Even when I had to put you down in your play pen and make dinner for your brother and father you just quietly sat there and played with your toys.”

“That’s great.” Yonghwa replied excitedly.

His cheerful mood was contagious and his mother couldn’t help but get affected. “Of course it was great.” He can tell by the tone of her voice that she was smiling. “But why are you asking all of this?”

Before Yonghwa could answer she suddenly heard his manager’s voice in the background rushing him because he was about to be late to his schedule. “Sorry mom I will call you later. Love you.”

Before she could get a word in he had already hung up. “Cham! He never waits until I hang up first.” She mentally scolds him.

“YEOBO” She heard her husband calling for her from his study.

‘What is up with father and son today’ Yonghwa’s mother thought as she walked to his husband’s study. “Yes?”

“What is the password to Yonghwa’s bank account again?” Her husband looked up from his computer. “He brought me a watch the other day and I told him not to spend too much money on me but he said it only cost $500. I think he’s lying.”

She rolled her eyes as she walked to him to type in her son’s bank account password. “Why can’t you just accept things from him? He wants to get you something nice.”

“I can buy nice things for myself.” Her husband stubbornly replies. “He should save his money for his future.”

“You and your son are so stubborn.” She signs into the account. “Here you go.”

Her husband takes over and scrolls down to look at the transactions. “$8000????? IS HE CRAZY? I’m calling him and telling him to return this right now!” Her husband gets up and leaves the room to get his cellphone.

She leans over the desk to look at the recent transactions and her eyes linger on a particular transaction in the amount of $210.13 from ‘Babies R Us.’

“What would he buy from a baby store?” She wonders and her eyes widen at the thought.

“That dang boy is not picking up.” Her husband says as he walks into the room. His wife didn’t reply so he looked up at her and saw her shocked expression. “What’s wrong? Why do you look like that?” He asks.

His wife shakes out of her daze and looks him straight in the eyes as she held his hand. “Yeobo…I think Joohyun is pregnant.”

Her husband looks shocked for a second before he erupts into a fit of laughter. She smacks him. “This isn’t a joke Yeobo. I’m serious!”

He patted the arm she smacked. “Yeobo right now is not the time for them to have a child. If you don’t believe in your son, believe in Joohyun. She wouldn’t let something like that happen.”

“I believe in Joohyun but evidence says otherwise”

“And what evidence is that?”

“He called me suddenly today even though he called me just two days before. He asked how was he as a child and how difficult was he to take care of it.”

Her husband chuckled. “Maybe he is just curious. You are overreacting.”

“He brought something from the baby store THIS MORNING. Why would he need something from the baby store? And then a few hours later he calls me asking about how he was a baby. This is not a coincidence yoebo!”

Her husband’s smiling face suddenly turns serious.

-------------------------------------------

Yonghwa was tired. More tired than usual but despite that, he was feeling oddly good. Good in a way that he can’t describe. He had just spent all morning taking care of Rohee and though he was sweating A LOT, he couldn’t help but feel the bliss of taking care of a baby. She was so adorable and sweet.

He understands why parents can love their children so much. And now he can’t shake that feeling. He wanted to be a father badly, so badly that it was plaguing his mind from the moment Rohee had left with her father. So badly that even when he was at another schedule all he could think of was his future daughter.

So badly that right at this moment as he is creep towards his bedroom, he plans to bring up this subject to his significant other.

“Joohyun?” He calls softly when he sees her figure lying in bed, her back facing him. The lights were off but the side table lamp was still on.

“Hmm oppa, you’re home?” She replies softly but makes no moment to get up. He can tell from the tone of her voice that she was almost falling asleep and that’s when he knew he talk to her before she fell asleep.

He slides in bed next to her and wraps his arm around her waist. “Jagiya”

“Hmm?”

“Let’s have a baby.” He says seriously.

“Okay.” She replies softly. “We can get it tomor-“ she stops mid-sentence and abruptly sits up. “WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?”

Yonghwa smiles and sat up to be on the same eye level. “Let’s have a baby.”

Joohyun stares into his eyes to try to decipher if it was a joke but she can only see a genuine smile from him and that’s when she knew that Jung Yonghwa was totally serious about having a baby.  

“You’re serious.”

“Of course I’m serious. Why would I joke about having a baby?”

“When? In a few years after we get married?” Joohyun asked. She was still in a bit of a shock from Yonghwa’s statement.

“No…like in a few months after we get married. Or we can start now, what difference do a few months make?” He smiles widely at her.

“Are you proposing and asking me to give you a baby at the same time right now?”

“Yah. I proposed before and you said yes already.”

“Yes but you are supposed to propose again when we are ready to get married.”

“Exactly.” He confirms.

Joohyun observes him and smiled when she remembered his schedule for the day. “Is this because of Rohee? You want to have a baby after seeing how adorable she was?”

“That’s not it.” Yonghwa denies. “It’s true I really fell for her and she’s the most adorable baby I have ever met but when I held her it just felt right. It made sense. I want to be a father Joohyun-ah.”

Joohyun couldn’t help but smile sincerely. She also wants to be a mother but in a time like this she has to be the rational one. She knew it wasn’t time yet for them to have a baby. “It’s so sweet that you feel that way.” She reaches out to pat the side of his face. “But you know it’s not the right time now. We are not ready.”

Yonghwa held the hand that was gingerly caressing his face. “Why not Joohyun? You want to have a baby and so do I. Why should we wait? I have been thinking about it all day.”

Joohyun used her other hand and put it to his other cheek and held his face together. “Oppa you still have dreams to achieve and so do I. It’s not fair to do that to the baby. I don’t want you to regret anything later. Let’s not talk about this now, let’s talk later when we clear our heads okay?”

Yonghwa nods his head, and Joohyun pecks him on the lips before lying down on her side of the bed. He slides down behind her and slips his hand underneath her shirt and caresses her stomach and slowly moves it up to her chest.

“Oppa.” Seohyun calls out. “I’m really sorry to let you down again but I’m on my period right now so we can’t…you know.”

Seohyun could feel his hand go limp on her chest and he sighs loudly. “Aish nothing is working out for me today.”

--------------------------------------

Yonghwa stood by the kitchen counter as he watched Joohyun prepare breakfast. It was only 8am and he normally wouldn’t be awake at this time considering how late he got home last night but he woke up to Joohyun groaning about having severe stomach cramps. He got up and went to the convenience store nearby to get some pain relievers for her.

After drinking the pain relievers Joohyun felt a lot better so she decided to make breakfast for the both of them since it’s rare they have a quiet breakfast together.

“Almost done” Joohyun announced.

She looked so beautiful from behind that Yonghwa walked over to her and hugged her from the back. “Thanks for making breakfast” He kisses her on the cheek. Joohyun turns her head to the side to kiss him on the lips but suddenly the doorbell rang, and then there was beeping sounds of the keypad meaning someone was entering the passcode to his apartment.

“Are you expecting anyone?”  Joohyun asks.

“Yonghwa-yah are you awake?” They suddenly hear his mother’s voice from the front door so they hurry over to greet her.

His mother walked in holding a soup container and her husband following behind holding a bag in each hand.

“Omoni- annyeonghasaeyo.” Joohyun greets as she bows politely and reaches out to help his mother hold the soup.

“Annyeong Joohyun-ah. I knew you would be here.” She smiles widely at Joohyun and prevents her from taking the soup. “It’s okay sweetheart let Yonghwa hold the soup. I made it because of him so he should hold it.”

His mother turns to him and gives him a stern look before pushing the soup container into Yonghwa’s arm. “Yah. You hold this.”

Yonghwa is shocked by his mother’s change in attitude but smiles at Joohyun and his mother’s sweet relationship. “Omma, you’re so mean to me now that you have Joohyun.”

She swats him on the arm. “Shush you brat. You hung up on me yesterday.” She turns around and walks towards the smells coming from the kitchen.

“You two even hit me the same way now.” Yonghwa pats his arm.

“You hung up on omoni again? I told you to wait until she hangs up first! Nappuen!” Joohyun swats him on the arm on the same spot his mom did earlier.

“Hey you brat get out of your old man’s way.” Yonghwa hears his father voice behind him. “I’m holding all of your side dishes your mother made for you.”

Yonghwa moves aside so his father can pass him and his eyebrow lifted as he wondered why his parents were being so weird to him today. Usually when they visit they are loving to him but today something felt somewhat cold.

“Yonghwa-yah don’t just stand there son. Bring the soup here so I can pour uri Joohyunnie some.” His mother calls out from the kitchen.

Yonghwa hurries over and watch as his mother and Joohyun put all of the food Joohyun prepared earlier into serving bowls.

“Go set up the table so she can bring the food out Yonghwa.” His mother instructs.

Yonghwa’s shoulders sagged as he went to set up the table. “Aish. She ignores ever since she got here and only calls my name to make me do something.”

------------------------------------------

“Omma where’s my soup?” Yonghwa ask because there was only one bowl of soup and his mother had already pushed the bowl in front of Joohyun telling her to eat it.

“The soup is for Joohyun not for you. So don’t you dare eat it!” His mother scolds him.

“Earlier you said you made it for me.” Yonghwa counters.

“I said I made it because of you! Not for you. I made it for Joohyun because of you, you brat.”

Joohyun gets up from her seat and walks towards the kitchen. “I’ll get some for him omoni. I have been feeling a little bloated lately so I can’t eat much anyways.”

Yonghwa’s mother smiles in her direction and turns to look at Yonghwa with a glare. “Yah go help her, don’t just sit here.”

“Okay okay geezs. Wait for me Joohyun. Don’t pour it yet, we should do it together since getting soup is such a dangerous job.” Yonghwa says sarcastically.

Once Yonghwa was out of earshot his mother turned to her husband. “See? Now do you believe me? She said she has been feeling bloated.”  Both husband and wife looked over at the kitchen and watch the two lovebirds.

--

Joohyun places a hand over her tummy. “Ouch my tummy is starting to ache again.”

Yonghwa reaches over and rubs her tummy  a few times. “ Do you want me to go get more medicine?”

--

“DID YOU SEE THAT?” Yonghwa’s mother whispers to her husband. “He’s rubbing her belly!!!”

“Sush yeobo they might hear us. They will tell us when they are ready.”

“Well they will do it quickly because Yonghwa needs to marry her right away.”

--

“So do you have schedules today sweetheart?” Yonghwa’s father ask Joohyun as they ate breakfast.

“Yes Abeoji. I have a dance practice in a few hours and then a musical practice.”

“A DANCE PRATICE?” Yonghwa’s mother shouts and that effectively made everyone turn and look at her. “You’re in no condition to do such strenuous activity.”

Yonghwa looked at his mother confused. She has been acting weird since she got to his house this morning. “And what condition is that?”

His mother clicked her tongue at him. “I saw you patting her belly earlier son.” She tried making him understand without having to say it.

“Ohhhh.” Yonghwa  thought he understood. “I thought exercising in that err…condition actually makes her feel better.”

“What nonsense are you talking about son?” His father interrupted. “When a woman is pregnant you should treat her like a princess and wait on her hand and foot! What if she falls down during dance practice? What will you do then?”

Joohyun spat her soup and coughed loudly. Yonghwa’s mother jumps up and pats her back. “Be careful sweetheart.”

“Appa, do you by chance think Joohyun is pregnant?” Yonghwa questions.

“Well isn’t she?”

“No appa.” Yonghwa cracks up in laughter. “I pat her stomach because she is having her monthly visitor and was having stomach pains.”

Joohyun finally caught her breath. “Omoni, Abeoji, I can assure you I am not pregnant.” Joohyun confirms.

Yonghwa’s mother turn to him. “Then what’s with the weird phone call about you when you were a child about then? And the transaction at the baby store!?”

Yonghwa laughs and explains to her what happened. He was filming a show and stopped at the baby store to get the baby a gift, and he called her to ask her about his childhood because he was curious after watching rohee for the day. Of course he left out the part that just hours earlier he was asking Joohyun to give him a baby.

Written in a hurry before work so beware of errors. I have been waiting to ready more fics about Yonghwa and babies since TROS came out but I didn't see much so I decided to write my own. Sorry if it's written poorly.
