They leave the office with happy smile. Irene cling on Seulgi arm when they walk to their car
âFinally, we will have baby!â Irene cheerfully said
âYeah, hard work paid offâ Seulgi giggle
âDo you want girl or boy for our first baby?â
Seulgi tapping her chin âI donât mind girl or boy but I hope they will take after my lookâ
Irene pinch Seulgi arm âItâs not fair. I carry them for 9 months but they will look like youâ
âArenât they will be combination of me and you?â
âHmm, you look more like appa than umma so it possible if our baby will more like one of usâ Irene said childishly
âAppa gene is stronger that ummaâ Seulgi cackle
âHoney, when we will announce the good news?â asked Irene
âWhat about tonight? We call everyone to gather at mansion for dinner then we announce itâ
âGood ideaâ Irene agree âLet go to supermarket to shop groceries then we go to our apartment to pack our stuff before go back to mansionâ
âUmma wonât let you do chores if she know youâre pregnantâ
âWell, I am her beloved daughter-in-lawâ Irene wiggle her eyebrows
âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ.
Same as other pregnant women, Irene also suffer morning sickness but hers not really bad. She also craving lot of things and gain weight. Mrs. Kang and Mrs. Son always make sure that Irene get healthy diet for herself and baby. She still go to office as usual but less going out like before. Seulgi always remind her not to do lot of works and make herself tired. She must drink milk and eat her meal on time. Seulgi told Eunji to add schedule for Irene meal and drink milk because she know her wife can be careless sometimes. So far, nothing bad happen to pregnant Irene.
However, things start to turn bad on 6th months. One day, Irene got hospitalized because she suddenly passed out. Luckily both of them are at home that time so Seulgi rushed her wife to hospital in no time. Seulgi keep herself calm to make sure both of them arrive safely
âDoctor, what happen to my wife?â Seulgi asking Dr. Kwon done checking Irene condition
âMrs. Kang, your wife condition suddenly dropping but not at worrying state. The baby also in good conditionâ
âThen what make her suddenly collapse?â
Dr. Kwon telling Seulgi about Irene condition and what make her collapse. Seulgi stare at her wife sadly. Irene face obviously weak and tired
âDoctor, is it because of her previous sickness?â
âIt is one of the aftermath of her sicknessâ
âShe told me the treatment is success. Why it still affecting her health?â Seulgi puzzle
âThe treatment really success but her womb might be still in weak state. If the treatment fail, she wonât get pregnant because that time when I check herâŠher womb is in very bad condition. Mrs. Kang is very lucky because she have chance to recover. Out of 10 patients who also in similar sickness as her, 8 of them meet the failureâ
Seulgi heave heavy sighs âDoctor, are you sure they will make it?â
âYes maâam, Iâm sure she will be fine. She is strong womanâ
âOkay doctorâ
âMake sure she still keep healthy diet. Iâm impress with her monthly health result, she really follow dietary that was required for pregnant motherâ
âMy mom and mother-in-law always make sure she eat healthy food thatâs why she is in good trackâ
âThatâs goodâ Dr. Kwon said âOne more thing to take seriously from now on, donât let her do lot of works especially in office. I know Mrs. Kang is busy person so I encourage her to involve herself less in office work. Bed rest is highly recommended for now until she back to good state. If she collapse again, I canât guarantee the baby safety. To make sure her and baby in a good health as usual, please let her rest at homeâ
âOkay doctor, I will make sure she not doing lot of activities that can make her weakâ
âGood, so I have to go now. Donât worry, she is sleeping now and will wake up anytimeâ
âAlright, thanks doctorâ
âYouâre welcomeâ
Seulgi sit on the chair beside the bed. She hold Irene hand and caressed it softly
âHoney, Iâm sorry. Because of me, you have to endure so much pain and because of me you risk your life just to give me a child. If Iâm not a jerk before, you donât have to go through all this. You will be normal like the other pregnant mom happily waiting for their baby to born. This is my fault honeyâ Seulgi sobbing softly while resting her forehead on their hands. After few minutes crying, she lift up her head and wipe her tears âI canât cry, I have to be strong for my wife and my babyâ
Then she stand up and kiss Ireneâs belly âBaby, mommy is sick now so you donât be naughty, okay? Be good to mommy so she can be healthy as usual. Mama always here for you and mommy. Mama love both of youâ she plant soft kiss on the belly again
âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ..
Irene wake up from her sleep and wondering where she is right now. After few minutes, she realize she is in hospital room
âKang Seulgi!â she exclaimed suddenly
Seulgi who is talking with her mother on the phone quickly hang up and run to her wife âHoney, youâre awake? Do you hurt?â
Irene hold on Seulgi hand tightly âIâm okayâŠwhat happen to me? Is our baby okay?â
âYes honey, our baby is healthyâ Irene feel relieve after that âYou suddenly passed out at home then I drive you here. Doctor said your condition suddenly dropping but not very bad. This is aftermath of your previous sickness. You canât do lot of things that can make you tired or stress because it will make you collapse again. For now, both you and baby are safeâ Seulgi decide not to talk more about what Dr. Kwon told her because she donât want Irene to think a lot about it. She will just inform their parents so they keep their eyes on Irene
âThanks Godâ Irene shut her eyes for few second while caressing her tummy. She can feel slight movement of her baby when she caressing it
âHoney, do you want to drink water?â
âYes, Iâm a bit thirstyâ
âOkayâ Seulgi get a glass of water for Irene, then she help her wife to sit carefully
âThanks babyâ Irene give back the glass to Seulgi
âUmma will come later with your food then you can eatâ
âOkayâ Irene stare at her wife âBaby, I want hugâ
Seulgi sit on the bed edge then engulf Irene to her embrace âWhatever happen, I will always be there for you and our child. I will be strong for both of youâ she kiss Irene scalp
âThank you my love, youâre the best wife for meâ Irene tighten her hug on Seulgi
After discharge from hospital, both of them stay at Kang mansion so that Mrs. Kang can take care of Irene closely when Seulgi is working. Mrs. Kang insist them to stay at the mansion until Irene deliver their baby because if something happen to Irene when Seulgi is not around, Mrs. Kang can take her to hospital quickly. Mr. Kang also assign a driver from RV to standby at their house in case emergency happen.
Seulgi not allow Irene to go to office for a while. Irene works will handle by Chorong since she is her assistant. For now, Irene only focus on her recovery and resting at home
[End of flashback]
After 2 hours of waiting, finally Dr. Kwon come out of labor room. Everyone quickly approach her
âDoctor, how is my wife and baby?â Seulgi asked
âYour baby delivered safely. Congratulations Mrs. Kang, you got baby girlâ
âAigoooo, thanks doctorâ all of them smiling happily
âHoweverâŠâ Dr. Kwon paused make everyone looking at her and practically froze âHer mother still unconscious. We will brought her to ICU to monitor her until she is stable then will transfer her to private roomâ
Smile fade from Seulgi lips soon as she hear about her wife. She completely lost word and knee shaking
âDoctor, when she will wake up?â Seungwan ask
âMaybe a week or two. It depend on her body. If her body not rejecting medicine then she will wake up faster. We will try our best to treat her so that she can wake up quickly. She is strong, believe me. She fight to deliver normal until she really canât push her baby outâ
âAside from her previous pain, is there any other pain that occur?â said Naeun
âNo, only her previous pain that make her like that so in the meantime she canât move a lot, carrying heavy loads and doing lot of works. She may look healthy but her inner side take too long to recover. It can bleeding without us knowing. If we careless then it is the most dangerous especially to herself. Please take this matter seriouslyâ
âOkay doctor, thanks for adviceâ said Seulgi
âYouâre welcomeâ Dr. Kwon smile âNurse will bring your baby to nursery then you all can visit her. As for the mother in ICU, only one person can enterâ
âAlright doctorâ
âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ
âNurse, when my daughter will discharge?â Seulgi asking one of the nurse in nursery
âDr. Hwang said your baby is healthy so she will discharge by tomorrow in the afternoonâ
âThanks nurseâ Seulgi bow her head politely
After that she walk inside to visit her baby daughter
Meanwhile, the girls adoring the baby girl since Seulgi told them to go inside before her
âOmo, she is very adorable!â Yeri squeal while poking the baby chubby cheeks
âIs she take after Seulgi or Irene?â Chorong asking
âExcept her eyes, the other features are Seulgiâsâ said Naeun while adoring her niece
Seungwan giggle while watching the baby moving in her pink cocoon âOh this tiny little human is so cuteâ she coo âHi little Wendyâ
The other girls startled. They looking at Seungwan confusedly âSeungwan, who is Wendy?â Eunji squint her eyes
âHer name, she havenât have name yet so she is Wendyâ Seungwan explain with confident smile
âI disagreeâ said Naeun
Seungwan pout âWhy?â
âMarcella suit her. That name is cute for a baby girlâ Naeun reasoning
âNo wayâ Seungwan rolled her eyes
âI not agree with both namesâ said Yeri âWe should name her Katyâ
âWhy we should name her Katy?â asked Sooyoung
âKaty Kang sound better and that name is gorgeousâ Yeri flip her hair
âIsnât it too old?â
âHeyyyyâŠâ Yeri glare at Sooyoung
The taller girl smirk âIf you want to choose name, find a refreshing nameâ
âAny suggestion and explanation to support your opinion?â
âJoy, that name is simple and refreshing. Look at her feature, she will be cheerful girl in futureâ Sooyoung explained
Chorong tapping her chin âHmm, since her mother is Bae Joohyun and she will be strict, Joy is not suitable. She will live with a strict mother. Iâm sure baby and Seulgi will whip for Ireneâ
âI agree with you unnieâ Seungwan put her arm on Chorong shoulder
âSince we can imagine a bit of her future life, very simple and modern name is the bestâ Chorong continue since no one argue âI thinkâŠLea is the bestâ
The younger girls rolled their eyes in unison âEwwwâ
âHey, isnât it good for her?â Chorong giggle seeing the girlâs reaction
âOld schoolâ Naeun commented
Eunji shake her head âGirls, why would we argue about someoneâs baby name? We donât know if her mother will agree with our suggestion. Maybe they already have their choiceâ
âYouâre rightâ they murmured
âWhat do you guys think they will name their kid?â Yeri looking at her unnies
âIâm sure they will choose Korean name for herâ said Chorong
âI also think the same unnieâ said Sooyoung
Eunji smirk âIf they choose Korean name, Eunji is a good nameâ
âIt is your nameâ Wendy retort
âWhy would she take after you?â Chorong added
âWellâŠshe will look gorgeous and smart like meâ Eunji shrugs her shoulder
âNo such thingâ
Little did they know, Seulgi listen to their childish banters. She silently chuckle hearing the arguments for her daughter name. After make sure the argument end, she approach them âEhemmâ she clear to get their attention
âSeulgi?â
âI heard commotion here, whatâs wrong?â
âWe talked about name that we should give your babyâ said Sooyoung
âOhâ Seulgi giggle. She lean down and kiss her daughter forehead âHello baby tiger. This is mama Kang Seulgiâ the baby girl moving again after Seulgi kissing her then Seulgi carefully lift her up to her arms
Her friends shock seeing Seulgi carrying her daughter without difficulty. Usually, Seulgi is very slow and nervous when doing something that she never do. Right now she looked like she used to carry a baby
âUnnie, you donât feel nervous or something? I mean this is your first time holding a babyâ Yeri said
âNo, I learn how to hold a baby so I get used to it nowâ
âWhen do you learn?â
âRemember my best friend, Jung Soojung?â
âYesâ everyone answer together
âHer sister Jessica just gave birth few months ago so Joohyun and I visit them. I told her about my worry and nervous because I know nothing about baby so she teach me a lot. She asked me to carry her baby. First time I do it, I really nervous to death. Joohyun laughing a lot when she saw me sweating bucket but after few times we visit them and I try my best so this is the result. I can hold my baby without shakingâ Seulgi said proudly
âThatâs good for you. At least you can hold her for Irene. You know she canât hold baby a lot after the surgeryâ said Eunji
âYeah, I get ready for that kind of situation too. Luckily Jessica unnie willing to teach me about how to handle kids in this age. Umma and mom also teach us a lot but learn through action is far betterâ
âTrueâ
âSeul, do you have name for her already?â Wendy questioned out of a sudden
âBaby tigerâ Seulgi grin
âWhat?!â the girls unconsciously yell
âGirls, you will scare my babyâ Seulgi tapping her daughter softly when the baby whimper
âSorryâ they apology quickly
Yeri speak in low voice âUnnie, why baby tiger? She is girl, I meanâ
âI am bear so she is tiger. Isnât it great combination?â Seulgi wiggle her eyebrows
âThen what is Irene unnie?â asked Naeun
âLionessâ Seulgi cackle. She put the baby back on the small bed
The girls laughing âIf Irene know you call her lioness she will throw tantrumâ Chorong said
âThen keep it secretâ Seulgi grinning âWe already have name for herâ suddenly Seulgi open her arms widely âIntroduceâŠKang Seulhyun. Daughter of Kang Seulgi and Kang Joohyun. The successor of RV Internationalâ her friend act like they cheering but still make sure not making any sound to disturb the baby
âOh, cute nameâ Eunji the first one to comment
âHer mommy choose it for her. If boy we will name him Kang Seunggi. Since she is girl so Kang Seulhyunâ
âBoth are nice nameâ Sooyoung remarks
âWhen she can go home?â Naeun questioned
âTomorrow so you and Seungwan please stay at our mansion, helping umma to look after her until her mommy can go home. I informed umma alreadyâ Seulgi looking at the twin
âSure thing, we will bring our stuff tomorrowâ
âMom also will visit her every day to assist umma when both of you workingâ
âOkayâ the twin nods their head, understand
Seulgi looking at their secretaries and assistant âFor office work, both secretaries will replace us and report to Chorong. From now, Chorong will lead RV while weâre awayâ
âOkay bossâ all of them salute
âGoodâ
âUnnie, what about me? No vacancy for me?â Yeri whine bring laughter to older girls
âOf course I have task for you. You come every day and bring foods for me. Replace me to accompany Joohyun for a while when I am away because I need to go home to check Seulhyun. You also restock Seulhyun needs if they run out of
