Jiyong carefully helped her into the water below as she settled into the surprisingly warm water, sighing in relief to the stress that had just seemed to flow off of her.

“If you need to get out, just let me know.” Jiyong mentioned standing next to her as she lifted a hand full of water to place on her bare face.

“How are you feeling lately? Any changes?” Jiyong asked dipping into the water to float on his back.

“Not really, a lot of movement, that’s about it.’ She answered not wanting to tell him about the random pain spasms she would receive at times.

“If you ever are in pain, please let me know.” He urged as she smiled down to him before nodding.

“So what have you been doing since I was gone?” She asked suddenly interested as he almost went under water in shock.

“Um, not much just recording.” He answered staring at her as she looked off into the distance.

“You have a new album coming out soon?” She asked as he nodded smiling.

“It’ll be done in a few months.” He explained as she nodded, gently splashing at her side.

“I’ll be doing my music video next month.” He offered as her eyes shot open and over to him in surprise.

“Really?” She asked excitedly as he chuckled and nodded.

“We’re also going to film our Music Video for Monster in a few weeks.” He added as she smiled.

“Wow, I missed a lot haven’t I?” she whispered to herself sighing.

“It’s alright, as long as you don’t miss anything else.” Jiyong teased as she blushed quickly looking away from his statement. It stayed quiet for a while before Hoku began kneeling in the water, trying to bring it up and over her sore s. She winced a bit when the water finally flowed over her chest, sighing in relief, she looked over to see Jiyong looking at her confused.

“What?” She asked not fully turning to him as he blinked before narrowing his eyes.

“Are you alright?” He asked leaning in as she nodded confused.

“Yah, why wouldn’t I be?” She asked as he shrugged.

“You looked like you were in pain for a second there.” He added as she chuckled in embarrassment.

“Ah, that.” She pointed out looking away to the pension on the other side of the lake.

“Being pregnant, I have acquired many things growing, throbbing, swelling, it’s ridiculous.” She mentioned as he nodded in understanding.

“Like my s feel like they are about to burst, it so painful.” She mentioned reaching for them under the water to massage.

“Are you planning on feeding?” He asked embarrassed which caused her to chuckle at his now flustered expression.

“That’s the plan, plus it’s supposed to help with weight loss.” She added as he snorted, kneeling down to her leave.

“What are you talking about baby? It doesn’t look like you’ve gained anything.” He mentioned staring directly at her as she sighed and turned to meet his eyes.

“I’ve gained, don’t worry about it.” She retorted causing him to smile.

“If you’re talking about your chest, then forget about it, I like it.” He added as she blushed, looking away rolling her eyes.

“Of course you would.” She muttered before feeling his extremely warm hands on her stomach under water. She quickly turned to see him standing right in front of her.

“What does it feel like?” He asked looking at her now caringly.

“What does what feel like?” She asked dunking her hair back into the water.

“The baby, what does it feel like, with the baby inside?” He whispered as she smiled at his curiosity.

“It’s weird, constantly moving. It though, as it gets bigger and bigger, it feels like I’m peeing every 5 minutes.” She jokingly added as he chuckled.

“Hoku-ah.” He mentioned as she looked over only to have her lips connect with his. Her eyes shot open in surprise as his hands left her stomach to rest on her neck, bringing her closer. Pulling apart for much needed air, she panted, looking at him as he kept his grasp on her neck.

“Thank you for making me a father.” He whispered smiling, reading her face before she smiled.

“Thank you for accepting me back into your life.” He added kissing her cheek.

“Thank you for giving me a second chance.” He added kissing her forehead.

“Thank you for coming back for the wedding. If you hadn’t, I would have never seen you again.” He whispered kissing her nose as she let the tears fall. Damn hormones. He smiled at her tears, reaching over with his thumbs to catch her tears before they hit the water.

“Hoku-ah, I’ll never leave your side even if you beg me. No matter what, I’ll be there for you and the baby, till forever.” He added as Hoku smiled through tears, pulling him into a much needed hug.

“I love you Jiyongie.” She whispered smiling into his shoulder as he followed suit.

The couple soon retreated from the lake and on their way to the pension. Hoku had herself wrapped in a towel while she held onto Jiyong with Gaho in the basket behind her.

“Oh, they aren’t back yet?” Hoku pointed out as they pulled up to the pension to see that only Jiyong’s Bentley was parked in front.

“Well they said they would be a while.” He answered as he drove as close as he could to the front door. Parking it without turning it off, he climbed off before holding a hand out for her. She looked up at him confused before letting him help her off.

“I rather drop you off in front so you don’t have to walk all the way back here.” He explained as she smiled and nodded.

“Go shower, I’ll be right back.” He added kissing her forehead before climbing onto the four wheeler. She stood there smiling at his disappearing figure before looking down to Gaho patiently waiting at her feet.

“Your daddy is growing more and more gorgeous as the days go on.” She spoke down to Gaho who just simply barked at her comment. She chuckled, turning and holding the door open for him to walk in. As Jiyong had suggested, she climbed into the warm shower and sighed in relief.

Jiyong locked up the shed before walking back towards the house. He stopped outside the pension and looked up to the balcony above where Hoku’s room had been, he smiled out of the blue before continuing on his walk into the pension. He took his shower, dressing in a pair of grey sweats before walking across the hall to knock on his door.

“Hoku-ah?” he called knocking again, not getting an answer her pushed open the door to see that the room was empty then over to the bathroom door that had been opening at the same time. His eyes shot open while the visible tent in his pants grew at the sight. Damn.
