Facing the mirror of the bathroom vanity, Sarah had her shirt lifted up to her stomach while she was standing to her left. She was looking at her tummy. "W-why do I feel so bloated..." She muttered to herself with a frown. She wanted to eat but then she felt so bloated even though she didn't have any bump yet aside from her actual weight gain around her hips. Just then, she heard a knock. "Sarah? I'm already done packing, I'm leaving in ten minutes." She heard her fiancé’s voice. "Ah ne, wait a minute." She said. She's gonna come along to drop Baekhyun off to the airport for their concert that will be held in Indonesia today until tomorrow. "What are you doing there anyway?" He spoke again while still knocking. Sarah heaved a sigh before finally pulling her shirt down. She walked to the door and opened it meeting eyes with her fiancé's right away. "I'm hungry..." She said. "Then eat. I told you to eat, you didn't touch the food earlier." Baekhyun pulled her out. "But I feel full." Sarah said. "Yah, Eomma said it's normal right? Don't focus your mind too much on what's inside. You're hungry." Baekhyun explained and dragged her to the bed. He sat down before pulling her down to his lap.

"I just want to eat because I need to..."

Baekhyun made a blowfish as he glanced up to his frowning fiancée. She's been like this for the over three weeks now since they found out about her pregnancy. "That can't be. You need to eat. You just feel full but you're not." He explained and her hair before pushing her off gently again so he could stand up. "After the two-day concert, it's Jongin's birthday so we're gonna go straight to a private resort there to celebrate. So I might already arrive at the 21th, Okay?" he said. "How about me?" Sarah asked with a frown. "Do you want to come along? Go book a flight and follow." Baekhyun said. "But I'm tired..." Sarah flopped down the bed with her very depressed look. "Didn't I tell you, Nabi will come along with us... You should have booked a flight too, but you didn't want to so I just let you." Baekhyun said and heaved a sigh. "But I'll get bored... why are you forcing me..." Sarah lied down and covered her face and began crying. Baekhyun stood there dumbfounded as he watches her cry. "Hey, why are you crying—come here..." He tried pulling her up but she held onto the mattress and pulled away. "No... I'm so tired and you need to leave... I'm all alone here." She murmured. "Sarah... what are you saying..." Baekhyun flopped down the bed and massaged his forehead. "I feel so tired and you will still leave me..." Sarah cried out. With that, Baekhyun just kept silent as he held onto the back of his neck like he was in pain. "Honey, come here..." He grabbed her wrists this time and completely pulled her up before putting an arm over her body. "Okay, fine. I'll fly back here right after the concert. I'll just tell Jongin, I'm sure he'll understand." Baekhyun said while rubbing Sarah's arm. "It's two days! Two days is so long and you won't even do something about it... I don't want to anymore, I'm so tired... All I do is to wait and sleep and it's so tiring... I always move and I feel tired... so tired." Sarah burst out crying and stood up and left the room.

Leaving Baekhyun blinking in so much bewilderment.

Standing up, Baekhyun grabbed his backpack and wore it to his shoulders before following out. He saw Sarah walking out from the kitchen while hugging a pint of ice cream - she was still crying. It wasn't suitable for the situation right now but Baekhyun can't help but to smile at her. She walked straight to the couch and sat down. She struggled to open it and in the end she burst out of tears again. Baekhyun jolted up and rushed to her to get the pint. "Let me op—“Why are you taking it from me... you don't want me to eat too. You're already leaving and you don't want me to eat... Why are you so cruel to me?" Sarah cried even more and she already looked like a kid. Baekhyun just bit his lower lip as he effortlessly opened the cap of the pint and gave it back. Sarah calm down a bit while sniffing as she hugged it out again. "Oppa, spoon... I forgot spoon." She looked up to him with her puffy eyes. Baekhyun nodded right away and marched to the kitchen to get what she needs. He arrived back in no time and gave her the spoon. "S-so... you aren't coming along? I'll just leave straight?" He asked. Sarah just ignored his existence and began eating ice cream. "Sarah..." He called and bumped their knees together. "Aw! Why are you hurting me?" Sarah yelped which surprised Baekhyun. "Okay fine, I'll just leave." He said and turned around to walk but that was until Sarah began bawling again.

"You won't even say goodbye... i-it's two days..."

"Okay okay, I'll say bye... Hm, bye bye." Baekhyun turned to her once again and leaned down to kiss her on the forehead. "You don't like to kiss me on the lips anymore? Am I ugly already?" Sarah asked and cried even more. "Haaa... What do I do to make you feel alright, huh?" Baekhyun flopped down the couch at the other side and looked at Sarah with his very disturbed expression already. "I want to go home to Eomma..." Sarah stopped from eating and began crying hard... much harder than before. Baekhyun never thought she would have this kind of mood swings, it was so depressing. He knew she's just being troubled ever since she's been feeling a lot of new things and there's a lot of times that she would suddenly miss her Mom but Baekhyun didn't know how to deal with it. "Sarah, do you want me to call her for you? Maybe she can go home here for a while until you get over your mood swings?" He asked. "Me? Mood swings? Oppa, so you're having a hard time already? You're giving up on me already..." Sarah murmured and she was rapidly breathing as she cried. "Okay fine. I don't know. Whatever. I will leave." Baekhyun stood up with a big frown and began walking away and Sarah stood up and rushed to him. She hugged him around the waist and buried her face on his chest. "D-don't be mad... I-I'm so sad and I don't know why... I feel so tired and I don't know why... I feel confused of everything..." Sarah cried out. Baekhyun made a blowfish before hugging back.

"You're just adjusting... there's a life inside of you now, Sarah... you need to relax. It's not good for you to depress yourself like this. Please? At least for our baby?"

Sarah just whimpered there while tugging on Baekhyun's body tightly. "Do you want me not to attend the day two of the concert?" He asked and looked down to her and placed a light kiss on the crown of her hair. "I-is it... bad if you don't?" Sarah looked up while sniffing. Baekhyun grabbed her by the face and wiped her tears with his thumb. "You think it's inconsiderable if I choose my pregnant partner over them? It's a major thing for your information... Fans will understand if I explain to them, right?" Baekhyun explained back. Sarah then nodded before hugging him tightly again having her face on his chest. "I love you Oppa..." She cried out and Baekhyun could only chuckle while her hair. "And I so love you too..." He responded and again, kissed her on the hair. "Stop crying already.. if you cry, baby will feel it and will get sad. Do you want our baby to get sad because Eomma is sad?" He asked. Sarah shook her head and looked up to him again. "Smile now." Baekhyun reached his thumbs on the side of Sarah's lips and pushed it up. Sarah finally smiled and wiped her tears with her forearm. "Oppa, can you buy me something from Indonesia?" She then looked up still tackling him on the waist. “Of course. Do you want me to buy you some snacks from there? I’ve been there for a few times and I know some." Baekhyun answered with a smile. "Ani... Buy me curry powder for cook." Sarah said. "Babe, there's a lot of curry powder available here. It's nearly the same with what might be in there, you know..." Baekhyun said and chuckled. "Ani, it's different. It's from there... not here." Sarah said. "Yes, babe but... I mean there's oriental stores here too that sells the same brands if you're looking for the actual exported brand. Do you wan—"It's not the same! It's different!" Sarah pulled away with a big frown.

"No, you remember last time? When we went to an all-asian store, didn't you also search for some curry powder and other spices and we found some Indones—“But it's sold here not there! I want Curry powder from there!" Sarah whined while glaring at him. Baekhyun rubbed the back of his neck and sighed before speaking, "I-it would taste the same... I was just thinking of buying you food like snacks or other deli—“It doesn't taste the same! Oppa, why you not understand..." Sarah had her expression that was about to cry again that made Baekhyun weak for the nth time. "Okay, okay I'll buy. I promise. What brand do you want? Have you checked some brands that I might see there in Indonesia?" He asked and her hair.

"The usual brand I get. The brand I always buy here. I want that."

"Huh? Uhm... O-okay... Do you... want something else?"

"White pepper. The usual brand."

"Do you want me to... buy Kimchi there?"

"Are you being sarcastic?"

"N-no... No, I was just trying to joke around..."

"It's not funny."

"Hey there, you seem bothered?"

Looking up from his phone, Baekhyun looked at Kyungsoo who flopped down beside him on the edge of the stage. They took a short break during the midst of rehearsal. "Sarah's still depressed and moody?" Kyungsoo added. "Well... I can't do anything but to respect her. I wouldn't understand what she might be feeling inside right now." Baekhyun said and sighed. Lifting his legs up, he held on his knees together while looking at his wallpaper which was Sarah's photo. "But you know, I kinda miss the times when we are hanging out like before... I've dream of having a baby with her but I didn't expect things to change a bit and it's just the start." He spoke solemnly. "If things are changing means the relationship's working." Kyungsoo answered and chuckled. "I'm not saying things change in a bad way but... Dude, you can't avoid change. Look at us." The man added and looked at a far direction towards the audience's seats where his wife was chatting with some stylists. "Next month we're gonna celebrate our second anniversary as a married couple. We reached that stage but we can never say it was all perfect." He explained. "I know. I know that very well. I'm just... anxious. I don't know if I'll be a good dad. I can't even cheer my pregnant girl up right now." Baekhyun murmured and heaved a sigh. "This is a bit private..." Kyungsoo then moved closer to Baekhyun. "You know... sometimes... pregnant girls feel ugly because of weight gain... and do you know what makes them feel much uglier?" He asked. Baekhyun raised an eyebrow and turned to him with a curious face. "What is it?" He asked. Kyungsoo glanced at Nabi's direction before speaking.

"When their men stop having with them just because they got pregnant."

Baekhyun looked away quickly and cleared his throat. Indeed, ever since they found out about the baby, he tried his best to hold himself up - for the usual fears of men towards pregnancy. "I'm not kidding... I know men sometimes get anxious to do it with pregnant women and... it makes them feel unloved. And anyway, Sarah doesn't even have a bump yet, alright. You're so paranoid." Kyungsoo explained. "I-it's not that. I'm just concerned you know. And also, s-she might not like it... you know how moody she has become." Baekhyun defended while stuttering. "I know. And it's a case to case basis... This is very private but..." Kyungsoo leaned close again. "Nabi has gone hotter now during ." He murmured earning a hit from Baekhyun. "The , you see her baby bump. What the hell are we talki—"Yah, let me explain. She likes it so much, even more than before alright, I never forced her I promise. It's like her pleasures heightened and don't even get me started at how MUCH she-she-she... relea—the—you know... I won't say it anymore but damn, I'm not kidding... I was so anxious too at first but I asked our OB-Gyne since Nabi also wants to... continue with our—you know... healthy relationship." Kyungsoo muffled while glancing at Nabi. "Geez, what are we talking about..." Baekhyun covered his already red face. "I was just saying... pregnant women sometimes like it more... You can try with Sarah, if not then it's alright too. You can always find other more ways to be physi—“Okay, that's enough. This is going nowhere good. Nabi's there and this is so bad to do." Baekhyun chuckled and stood up. "I was just assuring you that it's really alright. Nabi wouldn't mind it, I'm sure you can even ask her." Kyungsoo stifled a laugh while watching Baekhyun walk away with a flustered face.

"Tch. It's so obvious he's so ually frustrated."

Just like what Baekhyun has decided, he only attended the first day of the concert. On that night of Day one, he especially explained to the fans why he couldn't go on 'til the second day and they seem to understand it really well. They can't win over a pregnant woman, of course. He took the flight first thing in the morning, just so he could arrive early. He also succeeded on buying a few spices and condiments for Sarah although most of them are indeed available in their country as well - for the sake of satisfying her.

Arriving home, Baekhyun had his backpack and a huge paper bag with all of the things he bought. Aside from the stuffs Sarah wanted, he also bought snacks that she might like. Frankly, he just bought them at the airport but of course he doesn't need to tell her that. He walked to their kitchen and placed the paper bag onto the dining table before walking towards their bedroom. "Sarah? I'm back." He spoke and turned the knob. Pushing the door slightly opened, Baekhyun peeked in and saw Sarah at the bed lying down on his tummy and was facing the headboard. She had earphones on which was connected to her laptop. Baekhyun gulped when he saw what she was watching - , like literally. Hesitantly entering, Baekhyun closed the door and leaned his back on it. "..." He heard her muffle while watching. Since she wasn't facing his direction, she remained unaware of his presence. She suddenly shot up in a sitting position this time and Baekhyun gulped when she lifted her shirt up, she didn't have any bra on. "A-ahh~ It's so sensitive right now..." She moaned while gently caressing her very sensitive while still looking down to the screen of the laptop. Baekhyun gulped as she began touching herself except her private part down. "F-... Oppa..." She murmured suddenly and Baekhyun gulped even harder, he was rapidly taking every breath now. Just then, she finally turned her head to the side which allowed her to see Baekhyun from her peripheral view. She jolted up in surprised and covered herself with her shirt quickly. "H-have you been there?" She asked, her cheeks have turned crimson red. Taking in his last big gulp, Baekhyun began walking towards the bed. He gently sat down the bed while looking intently into her eyes. "Tell me honestly... will it be uncomfortable for you to make love or not. If not, do you want to do it? I'm not forcing you into anything. Tell me." He said with a calm expression. Sarah bit her lower lip and looked down. "W-would you want to do it... My hips got wider and... my face isn't pretty right now... I ju—“Of course not. Just tell me because if you want to do it, we can always do it. Not... this?" Baekhyun asked and pointed at the paused video. "I-I've been feeling... hot for a few days already but... I t-thought... you won't want me anymore ever since I started eating a lot..." Sarah muffled and looked down. "Of course not. I'm just trying to look out for you. I want you comfortable. Now, do you want to have or not?" He asked and moved closer to her and held her hand. "I... w-want to..." Sarah said. Baekhyun lovingly smiled and kissed her hand.

"Okay then. Just tell me if it hurts or it's uncomfortable, we will stop alright?"
