Baekhyun had always waited for you, and you for him. Through thick and thin you had respected each other all the way to the moment he had slid the cold, golden ring on your finger while gazing into your eyes with the words I love you reflecting within them. You were so thankful for the way you had been able to live your relationship before marriage, it had made every first time so special that you couldn't imagine having it any other way.

Although it had been some time ago by now, you could freshly remember the shivering feeling you had that night. When the only source of light had been the moonlight peeking through the thin white curtains. When everything had started with short smiling kisses that had with slow seconds become so much deeper.  Recalling the moment, you remembered the warmth of his lips against yours and the faded scent of his cologne clouding your senses, the way his warm fingertips had traced every outline of your body, leaving hot burning spots on your skin, reaching the zip on the back of your dress.

His eyes had immediately opened that moment, hesitantly gazing into yours, silently asking you if that was okay. If you wanted it as much as he did, and for that had only a gentle caress on his face been enough of an answer.

The zip had with a low sound been brought down, Baekhyun's hands had been resting on your shoulders before sliding down the thin arms of the dress while your very own shakily undid the buttons of his shirt. It was like unwrapping the most awaited gift of your life, except that it was worth so much more. The look he had given you still made the hairs on your arms stand up. The way his eyes had taken in every inch of your bare body like you were the most beautiful person he had ever seen.

You could still clearly remember his hands tightening on yours while pinned against the mattress, the sound of his raw and breathless voice whispering I love you, countless times into your ear.

That moment, that one night was one of your most precious treasures. That, and the following minutes, hours, days spent with him, they were everything you could have ever asked for.

So why were there tears running down your face? You had no reason to cry, no reason to feel this wistful and yet, the tears had been welling up at the waterline of your eyes before you had even noticed it. The air in the room was cold and the lights were turned off, you hadn't bothered to switch it on when you had dragged your body towards the bed. The clock ticked nine in the evening, it being the only sound to melt away with your fast breathing. You thought about how  Baekhyun was on his way home by now, you could only tell yourself to hurry and dry the tears from your now sticky cheeks, you were aware of how much it broke him to see you like this for the third evening in a row, with tears staining your pale face once again.

Because he didn't know what was going on, what he could do to make the sorrow in you fade away. He didn't know the reason why you were crying yourself to sleep next to him for so many consecutive nights. It was his first time feeling so powerless and weak in front of such a situation where he was supposed to know what to do, where he was supposed to be the one who comforted you, but he felt so inexplicably distant from you. It hurt him to death when the one he loved so dearly didn't tell him what was bothering her.

His whole days at work didn't even feel like days because the only thing that lingered in his mind was the silent sound of your broken voice sobbing into the pillow. Because at any moment you could be crying and falling apart and he wouldn't be there to keep you together.

Baekhyun was barely surpassing the speeding limit when he drove home from work, with his heart beating shakily against his ribs. An anxiously heavy presence pressuring down on his chest drove him to accelerate further. He needed to be there now, you could be breaking down and this time he didn't want you to dry your own tears. He wanted to be the one to plant his palms on your cheeks and hold them until you could smile at him again.

Until you could tell him that everything was really okay.

The car door closed with a slam as Baekhyun messily ran with his bags dangling on the tips of his fingers, the bunt of home keys hitting against each other in the left hand as he with his fingers tried to pick out the right key, he knew that you always locked the door when you'd be home alone.

Baekhyun didn't even take his shoes off when he entered the house, you were all that mattered. The only thing he wanted to do was run to his wife and make sure that she was the happiest woman on this earth. The work bags had landed on the floor with a loud thud as he dropped them carelessly at the entrance as well as he shook off the suit jacket, letting it lay on the ground next to the other things. 

You almost jumped off the bed when the door suddenly opened, a breathy and worried-looking Baekhyun stood there with his crescent eyes trying to find yours. As a reflex, your hands flew to your cheeks, helplessly rubbing them against the spot where tears had been slipping. But the movements were so obvious that it was useless to try to hide it. Your husband didn't waste a second to approach you, you felt how the mattress sunk under his weight as he sat down next to you. His scent was a faded mix between his cologne and sweat which showed you that he had stressed his way over here. Baekhyun didn't hesitate to place his oh so gentle - beautiful- hands on your stained cheeks. They were warm, so warm that they almost burned on your skin, but it was a warmth that you had forgotten how much it comforted you, the way it so invitingly spread into the rest of your body. How you had missed it.

Baekhyun's thumbs caressed your face carefully, his touch, feather-like and apprehensive, fearing that you'd fall apart at any moment if he'd applied any pressure and before you knew it, his hands had disappeared from your face only to appear on your back, your face suddenly getting pushed against his broad chest. His face hid in the crook of your neck while his hand threaded through your hair, brushing through it soothingly, a sigh of relief escaped your lips as you let yourself relax in his hold.

"I am so sorry," Baekhyun's words dripped with regret and sadness, though you had no idea what he was apologizing for, you frowned against his shirt. "I am so sorry for never being there when you need me," and then it suddenly downed to you that perhaps you hadn't been so great at hiding these emotions, those endless tears that you had been letting fall for a reason that was unknown for yourself as well. You realized that it must have broken his very heart to know that you use to cry all alone, several times, without having been able to do anything about it. 

Now he was blaming himself.

"Have I done something?" Baekhyun questioned, easing his hold around you just so that he could look at you in the eyes. Within his dark orbs swam concern, he looked lost and truly, dejected. "Did I hurt your feelings?" His voice was by now a mere broken whisper that caressed your ears ever so gently. You found yourself shaking your head frantically at him, your tears seemingly coming to a stop while your eyes searched for his.

"No- Baekhyun, of course not," You breathed out, there was guilt pooling in the pit of your stomach, he hadn't done anything but being the most loving husband ever, and here he was doubting himself because of something that he hadn't done. As soon as your words sank in, relief made its way on his features- though, it was soon replaced by worry all over again, his palm reaching to cup your cheek.

"Then why...?" Confused, he was confused, no matter how hard he tried he couldn't just find his way into your mind, he couldn't figure out the reason for your sadness, but really, he was to be disappointed because you could barely explain it to yourself. All you did was shake your head, teeth drilling into your lower lip, "I...Don't know," you murmured under your breath, moving your gaze away from his. The answer made him frown with confusion as he let his left hand reach up to cup your other cheek. Baekhyun's eyes searched yours for a short second before a sigh left his lips.

"Alright," his warm lips came to kiss your cheek, "We'll figure it out, but certainly not now when you're in this state."  Somehow, these few words threw away all of the weight that had been pressing down on your chest, a weight that you hadn't even noticed was making it harder for you to breathe. Baekhyun wasn't angry, he wasn't feeling anything of the sort, he just loved you and you noted to yourself to trust him more next time, for keeping it bottled up inside of yourself was indeed only breaking you. 

"I'm so sorry for always worrying you, for not opening up before," Lips trembling, you felt the strong urge to utter these apologies while breaking the embrace to look at him. But Baekhyun only hushed you, taking your hand in his cold one and brought it to his face, placing his soft, silk-like lips on your fingertips, sending warm radiations down your body, something bloomed in your chest- but not only, there were butterflies tickling the walls of your belly, or maybe was it plants- flowers growing and blooming in the life-giving love that you had for this man. 

"Let's not think about that," He whispered, voice mellow and honey dripping from each letter. A squeal emerged from your throat as he gently pushed you into a lying position on the bed, not wasting a single second to climb on it himself, placing himself between your legs that you with a face splitting smile wrapped around his waist. You didn't get the chance to save some air as he eagerly placed his lips on yours, wanting you to forget about any pain, about any sorrow that had been clouding your thoughts, so you could only focus on him, on his warmth and his feelings for you. And gladly so, you complied. Wrapping your arms around his neck, his sighs of satisfaction pushing into your mouth, you swallowed them as he shifted and moved against you with lips dancing in sync to his movements. His hair was soft between your fingers and the skin on his neck burned greatly as you caressed his body, but you were sure that so did yours when he allowed himself to pop the buttons of your shirt open, kissing you on places that brought you back to the very first time you'd done it.

At the thought, a flame, it burst within you together with the rushing memory of his hand pushing the golden ring that tied your red strings of life together, up to your fourth finger. You placed your lips to his ear as he dived his body into yours and whispered the only words you would never doubt.

"I love you."

🌹🌹🌹

All you knew was that you were very grossed out by the sounds you were making when more substance left your throat as you hunched over the toilet seat, dizziness clouded your thoughts and a strong wish to speed forward this moment fired up in your chest. The urge to throw yourself at the sink and rinse the disgusting taste of reflux in your mouth was so overpowering but yet another frustration when your throat lumped with more. In the distance of your thoughts, you could make out the faint noise of approaching footsteps.

"Baby?" Baekhyun called from the other side of the door, worry and hesitation dripped from his voice as he knocked falteringly before letting himself in. You couldn't witness the distress twisting his features upon seeing you in such a state again; your body slightly shaking while you did your best to strengthen the weak hold on the toilet seat. Beads of cold sweat layered on the surface of your now pale and lifeless skin and coughs kept leaving your lips from time to time. Baekhyun wasted no time and crouched next to you, one hand made its way to your nape and gathered your slightly damp hair in a light hold, keeping it from falling on your face, while the other rubbed soothing, slow, circles on your back with the pad of his thumb. As if magic, it calmed the rate of your erratic heartbeat and after a few seconds you felt as if you could breathe again.

For the tenth time in a row, you rinsed your mouth, hoping that the bitter aftertaste would leave your tastebuds once and for all. Your husband was eyeing you intently from where he was leaning against the wall. His forehead shiny with sweat and his foot tapping absentmindedly on the floor, showing how distressed he was about the situation- without actually realizing it himself. Arms tightly crossed on his chest, the tips of his fingers were fading into a white shade of pressure while his teeth sunk down into his lip, drilling it. 

"This is the third time this week, baby, can we please go see a doctor?" He urged while making his way to you, gently grabbing your hand and running his fingertips lovingly down your palm, the tickling feeling left butterflies dancing and fluttering their wings against the wall of your belly and you loved it despite having had the worst morning sickness of all times. Slowly but surely, Baekhyun threaded his soft, velvet-like fingers through your shaky ones who instantly relaxed when bathing in the warmth of his hold, taking you to your shared bedroom where he ushered you under the covers.

"I'm fine, really-"

"You are seeing a doctor and that's a final, princess, tomorrow, we'll go together." Baekhyun left no space for protests as he ended the argument. Although the stern and hard expression on his features- you knew how to see through that, how to swim your way into his ocean eyes and find the pure worry he had for your well being. 

"But you have work tomorrow," You remembered in a soft murmur after a while of silence. Lifting a hand from under the covers, you brought it to his cheek where your vulnerable fingertips danced shakily down the traces of his features, feeling the warm and slightly damp texture of his skin, once you caressed his lips- he couldn't help but capture your fingertips in the hold of his soft, soft satin-like lips, kissing them gently yet with so much sentiment that it set your heart on fire.

"I'll call in sick," He whispered against your palm as he affectionately snuggled into it, pressing yet another peck to your hand but you were quick to shake your head.

"You don't have to do that. I'll be fine on my own, I promise." You insisted, knowing that a worried Baekhyun was the hardest shell to crack. But the softening in his eyes made it apparent for you that he was considering his options.

"Are you sure you'll be okay? Can I at least drive you there?" This time there was a little pout sporting on his lips as he leaned further close to your face from where he was sitting; on the floor under your side of the bed. His warm breath was fanning your face and the scent of strawberries and lemon that emanated from him brought a wave of calmness and comfort into your once stiff body. You nodded reassuringly, curving your lips into a smile that could put his heart to ease, and you knew, that you had succeeded when a mixture between a sigh and a chuckle left his now slightly smiling lips.

"I know that you are a strong woman- and that you can do so many things, I just so worried, I care for you." Baekhyun's orbs searched for yours, slightly shaky as they took in your every feature before dropping a kiss on your forehead, your eyes fluttered delightfully close as he trailed further. Tracing his nose down your features to press another one to the tip of your nose- and then- after stealing an inamored glance to your slightly parted mouth, he closed the distance to give you what every cell of your body was anticipating,  a kiss on the lips. A kiss that felt like rose petals caressing your skin. One that was enveloped in the fragrance of blooming spring. One that brought the scent of love with itself. His lips that tasted like sugar, like honey, like strawberries- like anything that would make sweet on your tongue, his lips were.

🌹🌹🌹

It had been only a few hours ago that your husband had so persistently driven you to the hospital for a health check-up, three-day consecutive morning sickness had caused him great worry- and it would've have been a lie if you said that you didn't have the slightest idea of what it might have been. There were so many things that could've been going on with your body- and for that reason you'd been in denial, not wanting to jump to wild assumptions. But this time, the slight lateness of your menstrual circle hadn't been a wild assumption, the morning sicknesses hadn't been mere refluxes of something bad that you'd possibly eaten. It had been barely noticeable, but the two stripes on the test that was given to you at the hospital had been a confirmation. 

The moment that your gaze had fallen on the object, the object that with such a simple thing as a stripe or two, would be able to determine your near future, seeing its results had sent your heart immediately all the way to your throat within one single jump. A lump dried your throat as a wave of fear crashed onto you, with slight trembling you wondered whether you were truly ready to become a mother- would you be a good mother? What if you would be no good? What if- what if Baekhyun didn't want this although you were married? The air suddenly knocked out of your lungs and the whole world was spinning crazily, the scent of disinfectant burning the walls of your nose as you inhaled sharply. You could recall the bass-like heartbeat of yours echoing ever so loudly in your own ears and the slightly delayed realization started to make its way through your rashing thoughts, the pregnancy test- the words of the doctor- slowly but surely they into your skin and the fear was overweighted by a sudden happiness, a feeling that overwhelmed you. With your heart swelling in your chest you wondered if this was just a wild dream, perhaps, a thrilling, beautiful reality.

The realization that there was something wonderful within you. A little flower- no, not yet, it was still a little, fragile bud residing in your womb that needed to be protected, ready to grow, to bloom dazzlingly into the most wholesome creature to ever breathe on this planet, a little baby. Would it resemble Baekhyun more? Or perhaps inherit your features? Maybe both, but either way, you could only be sure that it would be as beautiful as it could possibly be because it was the fruit of your love for one another.

A sigh escaped your lips as you took in your own reflection in the body-length mirror on your closet. As you recall the past events, you couldn't help but get caught in the same incredibly strong emotions that would steal your breath and speed up the heartbeat, it was still hard to wrap your head around it. A soft hand ran down your yet flat belly, wondering how it would look when grown, imagines of y

Chapter 1: Oh my this was so beautiful, so poetical. I love the way you describe emotions, it really sounded like poetry to me, lyrical and just a delight to my mind.

As you know I’m a er for marriage au just like you are so this sent me into ❤️🥰💕 it was realistic with the fight, but gosh was this sweet! Their relationship, the problems, and how he was there for her ... it was so beautifully portrayed and yet it made me a bit heart broken because there are such few men who would do this 😭 I prefer living in this universe thank you very much.

You’re so talented! I loved this so much, it has to be one of my fave pieces! You’re such a fluff writer I love it. Never stop creating! 💕

Chapter 1: Excuse me, sis. Did you really HIDE THIS GEM from me all this time?! WHY?
This is now officially my favorite oneshot from you and it's one of the best I've read too. 🤧
Very beautifully written from start to finish! I loved the little drama you added in the middle; a bit of angst always makes the fluffy parts shine brighter, no? 🤭 I've rarely read fanfics that actually describe the pregnancy too, and so perfect! Husbando Baekkie is best Baekkie. hihi
And did he say sugar and kitten AND princess? ;D We share the same braincells after all, omg. LMAO MAGIC

Thank you for writing and sharing this, bubu ❤️❤️
