Chapter 14: Bae’s Surgery

Changmin P.O.V.

It’s November 30, Bae’s 1rst birthday, Now you’d think that this would be a day of celebration, how does that work when I’m worried sick about him, why, well its plain and simple. Bae’s heart surgery is 2 weeks after today. Doctor Kim said the sooner they get it done the less risks there are. I sighed and dragged myself out of bed trying not to disturb Yunho who was still snoozing away and headed to the Bae’s room, he was up standing chubby hands gripping the crib railing

“hey Bae-Bae” I said softly

“Chami Umma, up” Bae said, I laughed and scooped him up, he called me Chami Umma because he has 2 Umma’s Jaejoong got him to call him umma, personally I don’t care

“Bae, do you know what today is” I asked, for a one year old him was pretty smart, he could understand me in English and Korean

“no Bae no, no what today is” Bae answered, despite his advanced understanding of language his language skills weren’t very good, he talked mostly in third person

“its your birthday Bae” I answered, he squealed bouncing in my arms

“my birfday, my birfday “ Bae chanted, oh god this is too cute, I wonder what my mom would think of this, she’s probably think of me

“come Umma is going to make breakfast, since he doesn’t trust Appa in the kitchen” I said

“Bae can watch right??” Bae asked, I laughed

“of course Bae can watch, up on Umma‘s shoulders you go” I said lifting him over my head and onto my shoulders, there was a reason I got Yunho to put the shelves up higher, Bae has liked watching me cook since he was 4 months old and since he could hold himself up I just put him on my shoulders and me being over 6ft tall, well lets just say its not the smartest, but I’d rather have him on me then on the counter or his high chair and I’m not going to hold him in my arms for an hour while I cook

“there now hold on, and don’t pull umma’s hair” I said

“otay, Bae will be vewy vewy careful” was Bae’s answer and I set to cooking occasionally asking Bae to grab something for me, we were just finished up breakfast when Yunho walked it

“you and the birthday boy making breakfast as per usual” Yunho asked

“Yep! Appa is Bae Birfday boy” Bae asked from my shoulders

“yes Bae you’re the birthday boy” Yunho answered Hugging me and kissing my cheek, since Bae started talking we stopped kissing each other on the lips when he was around as to not induce the ‘EWWW’ factor . After breakfast we went to the SM building where Kyuhyun, Heechul, Jaejoong and Junsu set up a birthday party for Bae, everyone from SM were there and a couple of our friends from other labels, we even got Koda Kumi up for his birthday, he got a lot of presents mostly clothes, a couple pairs of shoes and a dozen toys, which is surprising since most 1 year olds love toys. That day in the end turned out very well. A week passes and the day’s to Bae’s surgery grow closer and closer, it got to the point where I hardly slept any to worried about what could happen to Bae and every time I got to sleep I’d end up having horrible nightmares about and I’d hardly ate anything since Bae’s birthday, by the end of that week I’d lost 5 pounds and was suffering from fatigue, scared the living out of Yunho twice when I passed out for 2 hours straight and had a fever. The day we went to the hospital JaeChun and Junsu met us there and I got scolded by Jae for not taking care of myself, my emotions were so raw and broke down crying just from his scolding. Yunho had Bae I really didn’t have the strength mentally much less physically to handle him doctor Kim and the surgeon met with us going over the procedure, I basically buried my face in Jaejoong’s neck suppressing the urge to burst into tears, Jaejoong finger combed gently through my hair which I’d cut that September. I pulled myself together long enough to kiss Bae and explain everything would be okay, biting my tongue when I felt the sting of tears, I can’t get emotional over this in front of him, it’ll scare him. Once he was out of sight I ran out of the building to the car not wanting to break in front of people I don’t know, Yunho appeared 2 minutes later and pulled open the door crouching in front of me and pulling me into his arms

“Min, he’ll be fine” Yunho said softly

“I-I want to think that, b-but I’m sti-ill terrified of los-sing him” I answered choking on my tears several times

“okay Bambi, its okay” Yunho said that was the second time he’s called me that, the only reason why he called me that was cause I reminded him of his Bambi doll when we dressed as animals for the video and photo shoot for Balloons and also because of my awkward lanky legs and big doe eyes

“come lets go to the cafeteria JaeChun and Junsu waiting and Jaejoong threatened to one touch you out of the universe if you didn’t eat something” Yunho exclaimed. I nodded wiping my eyes and getting up almost falling when I got dizzy “Jesus Minnie, this isn’t healthy you know” Yunho sighed and hitches him arm over my shoulders guiding me toward the cafeteria. In the end I wound up forcing myself to eat a hamburger, then realized how hungry I was and eat 2 more plus fries and a salad. 4 hours later the doctor came out, well I didn’t actually see him come out I was asleep and Yunho poked me awake

“eh, how’s Bae” I asked groggily

“he alright, he in recovery right now” he answered

“he’s alright” I mumbled brain still hazy from sleeping it took me a minute to realize “HE’S ALRIGHT” I exclaimed happily hugging the living crap out of my hyungs tears streaming down my cheek, they were tears of joy and relief

“you can go see him he’s in the children’s recovery ward room 18” the doctor stated, they all nodded and headed up. I was the first in the room, he was just waking up

“Umma”Bae groaned

“nae Umma’s right here” I mumbled

“Bae is sleepy” Bae mumbled back

“then sleep my little one” I answered kissing his forehead, his chubby hand was in mine my thumb caressing circles over his wrist, I sensed Yunho some up behind me a drape him arms over my shoulders kissing my cheek “see told you he’d be fine” Yunho mumbles nipping my ear, I moaned lowly

“Yun don’t” I said

“wae, I can’t turn my wifey on in a public place” Yunho asked

“ani, cause one this IS a hospital and two Bae could wake up” I answered groaning in the back of my throat when Yunho’s hand slipped under my shirt and tweaked one of my s and on my neck leaving a massive hicky and my jeans started to feel that tad bit tighter in the front.
