Chapter 15

Can I Be The Replacement?

Day by day, both Kyungsoo and Jongin got closer. They went on several dates together, however, they haven't passed the line where it is comfortable to be holding hands in public. Kyungsoo is still shy about these kind of stuff. As compared to both Chanyeol and Baekhyun, they even already had . Well, it wasn't Kyungsoo's fault that he had to pry into the couple's life but Baekhyun came in for work limping and he had a hard time to sit down on the chair. Baekhyun blushed hard when he realised that Kyungsoo found out that they already had . Kyungsoo even warned the other that he has to be careful not to get himself pregnant because he doesn't want the same thing to be happening again.

 

It was one of those weekday where Sehun had his dance classes. Kai offered to walk Sehun back to the cafe when the lessons are done for the day to which Kyungsoo gladly agreed. Sehun came skipping through the cafe doors dancing to one of the tunes that Kyungsoo thought sound familiar. What is it called again? History or was it MAMA by a group called EXO? Kyungsoo shook his head slightly as he watched his son plopping on one of the table with yet another paper and a pencil in hand. Over time, Kyungsoo learned that Sehun is actually fond of scribbling and drawing.

 

Kyungsoo walked from behind the counter and over to where his son was sitting and sat opposite him,”Sehunnie? Did you come here alone?” Kyungsoo asked worry laced in his voice.

 

“No,” Sehun replied as he continued scribbling.

 

“Then where is Kai?” Kyungsoo asked as he was worried.

 

“Kai appa and flowers,” Sehun replied simply and turned his attention to the paper.

 

“Kai went to buy flowers?” Kyungsoo asked and he noticed how he did not reprimand Sehun anymore for calling Kai appa.

 

“Mmhmm,” Sehun replied as he pushed the paper towards Kyungsoo.

 

“What is this honey?” Kyungsoo asked.

 

“Umma,” Sehun said as he pointed to a male figure with huge eyes. “Kai appa,” Sehun pointed to the figure next to Kyungsoo who he shaded lightly (to differentiate the skin tone). “Sehunnie,” Sehun pointed to a small boy squished in between the two tall figures.

 

Kyungsoo ruffled Sehun's hair. He knew that the drawing only meant something; he wants Kai to be a part of their life. After all the dates and surprise gifts, Kyungsoo didn't mean that he isn't ready to be living together with Kai but he still need some personal space and he does not want to move too fast. This is all mainly because he doesn't want to make decisions that he might regret later on.

 

“Who is this?” Kyungsoo asked as he pointed to the figure in the sky with a halo on top of its head.

 

“Jongin appa,” Sehun replied, smiling.

 

“Why?” Kyungsoo asked trying his best to hide his emotions.

 

“Umma say appa in heaven. Appa watch us so appa is angel,” Sehun replied with a smile.

 

Kyungsoo could not help but place his hand over his mouth that was hanging open as he watched his son running over to Joonmyeon hyung begging for more bubble tea; his new found love.

 

Jongin-ah, Sehun drew a family photo of us. But there wasn't you there. It was Kai instead but he still drew a picture of you because he is convinced that you are watching us from heaven. Aren't you glad, baby? Our son is growing up way too fast and I am scared he might forget that you are his real father because he is becoming more accepting of Kai. Is dating Kai a wrong step?

That night, Baekhyun decided that he should invite all of his friends over at his place because he claims that he has something to tell them about. It was surprising though that Chanyeol and Kyungsoo have no idea what is this sudden talk about. But Kyungsoo did realise that Baekhyun has not been his cheerful self lately and it did affect Luhan's mood. Kyungsoo tried getting it out of the other but it didn't work both ways. He tried asking Luhan but who is he kidding? Its not like Luhan could reply to his concerns because he is too young to even know what is going on with his mother.

 

Everyone arrived on time that night and Baekhyun had already prepared dinner. He really did cook up a lot of food for dinner which consists of six adults and two kids. Baekhyun was unusually happy that night. He wasn't a single bit unhappy unlike the other days at work. Once everyone had their dinners, they all sat down in the living room. Kris and Joonmyeon were all cuddled up in each other's warmth and both Kyungsoo and Kai sat awkwardly next to one another because Kyungsoo is still not ready for a physical contact despite dating for a month now. Both Luhan and Sehun sat on the floor next to them with Sehun trying to put some clips into Luhan's hair to which Luhan gladly allowed.

 

Baekhyun fiddled with the hem of his shirt as he took a deep breath and break the news to his friends,”I'm pregnant, guys.” Baekhyun simply stated which caused Chanyeol to sputter on his drink.

 

Kris patted Chanyeol's back nicely like the big brother he is and waited for the other to calm down. Everyone had their eyes on Baekhyun not believing what they just heard. It was Chanyeol who spoke up first,”How?” he asked.

 

Joonmyeon snorted at the corner when he heard the question. Like who would ask that? One gets pregnant through damnnit. “You did not just ask me that, Yeollie!” Baekhyun exclaimed. “Of course through all the ual that we had that got me pregnant!” Baekhyun continued as he threw his hands in the air in exasperation.

 

“So, its mine then?” Chanyeol continued asking as his eyes widened and a wave of emotions passed through them.

 

“Yeah. I only slept with you recently and no one else,” Baekhyun stated.

 

It took Chanyeol exactly a minute to digest the news that Baekhyun just broke to them before he starts jumping like a maniac,“OH MY GOD! KAI! IM GONNA BE A FATHER. OH MY GOD! I AM GOING TO TO BE A ING FATHER!” Chanyeol exclaimed as he lifted a shocked Baekhyun off the ground and spinning him round.

 

Chanyeol finally placed Baekhyun back on the floor once again and kissed Baekhyun fully on the lips, ignoring all the gasps coming from their friends around them. After Baekhyun pulled apart from Chanyeol to catch his breath, Chanyeol placed his hands on either sides of Baekhyun's face,”Thank you, Baek.” He mumbled softly.

 

The couple looked to their friends who smiled looking at the scene that was in front of them. They were kind of sure that Chanyeol would not be like the other also known as Luhan's father and walk out of the apartment. But they were taken aback by how Chanyeol actually stayed there with them. Luhan looked up towards all the adults who were congratulating the couple on the pregnancy. There were mentions of the kid's name here and there about how Luhan is finally going to be a big brother.

 

Luhan walked over to his mother and placed his small palms against Baekhyun's still flat tummy,”Baby?” he asked.

 

“Yes, honey. There's a baby inside. He or she is going to be your brother or sister,” Baekhyun said as he carried Luhan in his arms. “Are you excited?” he asked.

 

Luhan nodded his head happily about the idea of him being a big brother to the being inside his mother's tummy. Luhan is happy because he won't be alone anymore and he has someone to play with.

Kris and Joonmyeon were the first ones to head back home because Joonmyeon was complaining about how it was very exhausting and they need more employees. The whole ride back to their shared apartment with Kyungsoo was quiet. Joonmyeon would let out a sigh every once in awhile. This action did not go unnoticed by Kris. Once they arrived at the apartment, Joonmyeon made a bee line for their shared room. This isn't something that the younger would do because the Joonmyeon that Kris knows would prefer to laze on the living room couch before retiring to their bedroom.

 

Kris opened the door to their shared bedroom and found Joonmyeon curled into a ball in underneath the blankets. “Hey, what's wrong?” Kris asked as he placed his hand on Joonmyeon's back.

 

“Nothing,” Joonmyeon replied quietly.

 

“This doesn't look like nothing,” Kris said. “Is this about Baek getting pregnant or the whole pregnancy idea?” Kris asked as Joonmyeon visibly tensed.

 

“Yeah,” Joonmyeon said in a half-whisper.

 

“Why?” Kris asked.

 

“I-i want my own kid,” Joonmyeon said.

 

“Sure! We can try!” Kris said happily with a grin on his face.

 

“You don't understand,” Joonmyeon said.

 

“What do you mean I don't?” Kris asked.

 

“I can't do it. I mean I can't get pregnant. I am not like Kyungsoo and Baekhyun who are born with strong wombs. The womb in me is not strong enough to even bear a child. I am special, Kris. I can impregnate someone and I also can get pregnant. But because of this special ability, I can't get pregnant and its very risky too. But I really want one. I really want my own kid. I want to hold him or her in my arms and tell everybody that hey this is my child. I bore him.” Joonmyeon said as his shoulders started shaking from all the heartache.

 

“Shhh,” Kris said as he gathered Joonmyeon in his arms to calm the other down. “Now. Its okay, Joonie. Its not like I am hoping to have a kid with you because having you here with me is more than enough. If we are blessed with a child, I will gladly accept it. But if we aren't blessed with it, my love for you will never change,” Kris said.

 

Joonmyeon could only nod his head against Kris' chest because he was too upset about his disability to give Kris a child. Kris rocked their body back and forth and Joonmyeon soon fell asleep in his arms. Kris knew that he should do something about it because it really means a lot to Joonmeyon and himself too even though he said that its okay.
