Looking forward

Lipstick

 

Many women who are expecting twins find that they have quite noticeable and very early pregnancy symptoms, including tiredness, emotional ups and downs, nausea, vomiting and constipation. Also, body changes with a twin pregnancy are much more obvious than with a single pregnancy. 

That was what Sungmin was experiencing. Her pregnancy was already noticeable at 7th week and she couldn't fit in most of her working clothes!

"Let's go shopping for maternity clothings" Kyuhyun hugged her from behind when she couldn't button her skirt. He wanted to add "plus bra and underwear" but he stopped himself because Sungmin would definitely scolded him for implying that she had put on weight!

"I don't understand, I'm only 7 weeks pregnant but I already couldn't fit anything! Last time my colleague could still wear her normal clothings until her 5th month!!" Sungmin said sadly.

"Baby, you are carrying twins and maybe both boys, that's why they grow so fast. It's okay, you put on my pullover, and put on jogger pants..."

They finally went out after Sungmin stared at herself at the mirror for 10 minutes after she had put on Kyuhyun's pullover. It was brown in colour and she was grumbling why Kyuhyun don't have any pink pullover. 

Kyuhyun had laughed and peck her lips "You look great in brown too"

They reached Sunset Boulevard and Kyuhyun parked his car at Paradise Centre.  "Let's have a bite at the Kebab cafe, then we can start shopping" Kyuhyun said, and they walked slowly towards Cavill Lane to the kebab cafe.

"Ohhh now I'm hungry!! That's my favourite!!" Sungmin said excitedly when Orchid Kebab came into view. She clapped her hands, or rather, clapped the pullover sleeves, because Kyuhyun's pullover was big for her, covering her hands.

They walked into Orchid Kebab, at Cavill Lane, and Sungmin remembered that it was here that she first tasted kebab. Kyuhyun ordered 3 sets, 2 sets for her and their babies, and 1 set for himself.

They ate happily and then walked back to Paradise Centre. At Poppyseed Maternity, they bought about 10 maternity clothings, maternity inner wear and maternity bra, and Kyuhyun even took a maternity pillow.

"We don't need that, Kyu" Sungmin took out the pillow from their cart and put it back at the pillow section. 

"Why not? I want you to sleep comfortably..." Kyuhyun reached for it again.

"I already have a comfortable pillow. Your arms!" Sungmin chuckled.

Kyuhyun laughed "For your nap, then, when you are not working, you can take a nap in the afternoon. You see, it's very soft and comfortable" Kyuhyun let her feel the softness. 

Sungmin read a note that was attached to the pillow "In general, a pregnancy pillow can ease your adjustment to a new sleeping position. Keep your neck, back, and hips aligned during sleep. Reduce the pressure around womb, your hips and pubic bone by keeping your legs parallel to one another".

"I think any pillow can do the job" she concluded.

"I still think that it's good for you" Kyuhyun took it from her hands and put it back into their cart.

Sungmin gave up. "Okayyy whatever" she said to herself, shaking her head.  She didn't want to waste money because when the twins arrived, they have to spend a bomb on them, knowing Kyuhyun would constantly be doting on them.

"Shall we buy baby clothings?" Kyuhyun looked at the baby clothings with interest. 

"No, not now..." Sungmin pulled him away. She must remind herself not to allow Kyuhyun to go shopping alone, else he would buy the whole store!! 

"Why not, we can buy slowly whenever we come here...." Kyuhyun reasoned with her while unwillingly followed her along. 

"We don't have to buy now. I need to clear some space first to put baby's clothing" Sungmin practically drag Kyuhyun and trolley to the paying counter. 

"Okay then" Kyuhyun smile.

The total cost was A$930!! Sungmin was like "OhmyGod, nearly one thousand dollars!!".  "I better take good care of these clothings so that they could last as long as possible" Sungmin told herself.

Kyuhyun paid using his card and they left the shop.

"Kyu, I'm sorry my clothings cost so much..."

"What are you talking about... it's okay, don't worry about it" Kyuhyun smile at her. "Should we pack back our dinner since we are here?"

"Ermmm.... can we buy kebab again..?" Sungmin asked sheepishly. She herself didn't understand why she suddenly crave for more kebabs and she hoped that her dearest hubby would say yes! 

"Again??" 

"Pleaseeeee? If you want something else, you can buy other food. But I want kebab" 

Kyuhyun gestured her to walk towards the seats in the middle of the shopping centre "You sit here first, I'll walk over to buy. I put the shopping bags here okay" Kyuhyun said, putting down the carrier bags. 

"Okay..." Sungmin smile, while sitting down.  Kyuhyun kissed her and smile and walked off towards the exit. 

Sungmin noticed that to her left, there was an entrance to Paradise Centre Service Apartments. "Ohh wow, they have apartments here too. The view should be lovely, since the Surfers Paradise beach is just behind. Maybe I recommend Kyu's buddies to stay here?" Sungmin was thinking to herself.

Of course they can stay with them at their home, but without car, they have to take tram to come here. She put a mental note to discuss this with her husband. 

Kyuhyun came back smiling and they went back to their car and drove home. He had bought an extra pack in case his cute wife started craving for kebab at midnight, and how on earth would he find a kebab place that would still be opened! He smile because he was so smart! 

True enough, Sungmin woke him up at 2am craving for kebab! So Kyuhyun heat up the extra kebab that he kept in the fridge, and brought it to his bedroom, with a glass of milk. He felt so happy that his wife ate happily and thanked him for being a good husband. 

On Sunday after they came back from weekend market, Sungmin brought up the subject of Kyuhyun's buddies accommodation since they would be here end of next month. 

She told him about the service apartment at Paradise Centre and that it would be ideal since the guys could go anywhere from there. 

"I was thinking to let them stay here" Kyuhyun said. 

"They can, but there's nothing much here and they have to take tram or busses to go anywhere..." 

"True, but...." Kyuhyun was thinking more about being with them, like relaxing and talking, play games together or just chilling and catching up with each others' news. If they are at Surfers Paradise, then he has to go over to be with them, and he didn't want to leave Sungmin alone at home. 

"You discuss it with them. They are most welcome to stay here of course, but if they are at Surfers Paradise, they won't be bored. There are so many interesting places to visit and foodwise, no problem" Sungmin gave her thoughts. 

"Yeah, and the coach terminal is nearby, they can go to Movie World from there. Okay love, good idea, I will discuss it with them later" 

"And can I borrow Minho for 1 day? I want him to help me with my play. I plan to do Sleeping Beauty around that week when they are here, and I was thinking Minho to be the Prince and Mary will be the princess. I want to introduce the two of them!" Sungmin giggled. 

"Mary and Minho? Hmmmm... yeah they are matching. Mary is petite and cute and Minho is boyishly handsome. Wow, you can be a matchmaker!!" Kyuhyun pinched her nose. 

"Mary told me that she started watching Kdrama eversince she knows me, and started following Kpop too. She loves Super Junior and SHiNee! So during our break, she will ask me a lot of things about Kdrama, and Lynnette also becomes interested, and now Lynnette also got hook with Kdrama!!" Sungmin laughed. 

Kyuhyun laughed because his wife was so cute when she laughed. He was happy that her colleagues like her a lot and care for her. He didn't know how to tell her that he prefers her to quit her job and stay at home after she gives birth, and to look after their twins full time. She would surely became sad because she enjoyed working and doing the weekly plays. 

A week later, Sungmin's morning sickness became bad. She has been experiencing nausea since she knew she was pregnant, but this week she started to vomit frequently.  Morning sickness, or nausea of pregnancy, is a queasy feeling that pregnant women get during their first trimester. 

Kyuhyun became more worried because his wife suddenly has no appetite to eat. He cooked porridge every morning before he went to work and has to coax her to eat, but she thew up again and prefered to just rest on their bed. On the days that she needed to go to work, she would bring apples and got herself hot milo from the beverage machine. 

Strangely, apples were the only food that Sungmin would not throw up, and hot milo.  So that was all she ate for the time being, and it lessen her vomiting tremendously. The worried husband bought more apples and instant packet milo so that his wife would not be hungry. 

His buddies were scheduled to arrive 2 days after Christmas and they would be in Gold Coast until 1st week of January. Kyuhyun was very happy that they could celebrate new year together as well as celebrate Sungmin's birthday. The buddies have decided to stay at Paradise Centre service apartment and Kyuhyun would be making the reservations for them.

Unknown to the rest, Minho has secretly took up English language course to brush up his English. He was looking forward to their trip to Gold Coast, especially to get to know Sungmin's colleague, Mary. 

Sungmin had texted him to ask him to help her in a play where Mary would be acting too. 

Minho was so happy and told her "no problem" and he was looking forward to it! 

He wondered if Sungmin has told Mary about him too? Is Mary looking forward to meet him as much as he did? Should he ask Sungmin for Mary's number..? 

Sungmin had shown Mary how Minho looked like, from their wedding group photo. 

"Oh myyyy, he is so handsome!!!" Mary said excitedly, while closing .

Sungmin giggled "Yes he is, but my husband is more handsome!" she laughed, making Mary laughed too. 

So both of Minho and Mary were actually, and definitely, looking forward to meet each other!
