"I'm surprised you're even awake, Mr. Jeon, after all the drugs you've ingested. Do some light exercise to get your muscles moving, but don't overexert yourself yet," the doctor gathered his things and headed for the door, accompanied by Namjoon. Jungkook pulled Mei-Lin closer and buried his face in her neck, breathing in her scent and caressing her belly. "I want to know every move of my father and that bitch Yuki" Jungkook looked at Jin and Yoongi who were sitting on the couch across from them.

"Arrange security for Mei-Lin, as well as a new doctor's appointment for tomorrow, I want to make sure my girl and the baby are okay" he turned to Hoseok who nodded. "Change the furniture in the bedroom, let Mei-Lin choose how she wants it to look" this was directed at Jimin. "Namjoon and Taehyung, try to get us video surveillance of my father's mansion as well, and if you can, find someone to tell us what he's planning from the inside, no matter how much it costs" he thought for a moment, unconsciously continuing to stroke Mei-Lin's stomach, who was looking at his hand with a smile, absolutely deaf to the conversation around her.

"Also increase the security of the building, I don't want any surprises while Mei-Lin is pregnant, if she wants, can we also provide an apartment for Lily and Sue?" he looked at her but she didn't react. "Baby?" her gaze lifted absentmindedly and he smirked. "Just do it, now I want to be alone with my girlfriend, if possible?" he looked at everyone individually and they nodded, heading for the door.

"So you wanted to leave me?" Mei-Lin recovered faster than she could blink and blushed. "I'm...sorry" she whispered and looked down at her lap. Jungkook already knew everything, from how they had found him, to how Namjoon and Yoongi had begged Mei-Lin to come back. "I'm not mad at you for doing it my lady, I probably would have done the same if I didn't trust you" he emphasized the last words making her blush even more.

"It's the baby's fault!" suddenly her eyes filled with tears and her chin quivered. "It's not my fault that I'm reacting under the influence of hormones, but the pictures were so real and the invitation..." Jungkook stifled a laugh and pulled her to sit on his lap, facing him. His body still ached, but he needed to feel her as close to him as possible. "It's the baby's fault you say?" she nodded, trying to make a cute face and Jungkook burst out laughing.

"I'll accept that excuse for now, but you're still going to take the punishment" Jungkook brushed some hair from her face and squeezed her neck. "I missed you my lady, I missed you so much" his lips crashed into hers and Mei-Lin wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, pressing into him, the kiss was deep but tender, containing all their love, feelings of desperation and fear that they they might never be together again, which had come together while Jungkook was in a medically induced coma, as the doctor had determined.

"I want to know everything" Jungkook laid his head back. They sat like that for maybe an hour, hugging, kissing, until she brought up the question Jungkook had been dreading, about his past. "Baby, it's not..." she shook her head cutting him off and cupped his face. "I'm the mother of your child, Jungkook, I love you and it doesn't matter what you've done or how you've lived, the baby and I will support you because that's what family does, but I want the truth and no more secrets, no matter how much it hurts me Jungkook sighed and buried his face between her breasts.

"First answer my questions, what month are you in?" she looked at him piercingly, uncertainty was visible in his eyes and she knew he wasn't ready for this conversation, so he was trying to change the subject. "Week eleven," she replied, burying her fingers in his hair. "Boy or girl?" she shrugged and smiled as he cupped her stomach with his palm. "It's not known yet, but I think it's a boy" he smiled. "I can't believe we made a new life" Jungkook mumbled staring at his hand.

"How do you feel?" he asked and she raised an eyebrow. "I mean, I've heard that the beginning of pregnancy is hard, you get sick and throw up and your stomach hurts, things like that..." Mei-Lin smiled and put her hand on his. "I suffer from insomnia, I eat all kinds of strange combinations, I feel nauseous and sometimes dizzy, but generally I don't feel any discomfort" he nodded thoughtfully. "I'm fine Jungkook, despite everything, our baby is strong like his father" he smiled and his face lit up.

"This is crazy, this isn't how I planned for things to turn out, but I can't wait to be a father, especially since you're the mother, my lady," Mei-Lin smiled and leaned in, kissing him softly. "Imagine my surprise, considering I haven't missed my birth control, but apparently we are in that 0.01% that they warn about on the packages" she giggled and this time he kissed her.

"I love you Mei-Lin, and now that you're carrying our child, I'm even more determined than ever that we get married as soon as possible" Jungkook looked deep into her eyes and she melted with the warmth and love in his. "You are to the beat of my heart,my lady,our souls were made to live as one and nothing can ever change that. Only in your arms does the beast in me feel at peace" her eyes filled with tears again and this time they flowed . "You are the only woman for me, my life, you two are everything I live for, my lady" he soaked her tears with his lips and then locked hers, savoring her favorite taste.

"And I promise to tell you everything, just not now, but please trust me, I'll do anything to keep you safe" Mei-Lin nodded. After all, she needed him, his voice, it didn't matter what Jungkook said or promised her, he might as well read her a restaurant menu and she would sink into his voice and drown in the feeling of warmth and comfort she felt while listening to him. "Just promise me I'll never see you in the same state again, Jungkook, because I won't take it a second time" he smiled and pulled her head onto his shoulder, caressing her hair and back.

"I won't let it happen anymore. I was careless and I paid for it, I should have guessed that my father would find a way to bring me back into the family, but I didn't expect him to use my ex to tie me up. And now, even less I will allow it, I will not miss the rest of your pregnancy and I will be by your side every step of the way" this oath came from the bottom of his soul. His chest tightened as he tried not to think about what she had been through, watching him helplessly, with almost no chance of him waking up, and going through the first weeks of her pregnancy alone.

Jungkook was sure the boys hadn't left her uncared for, but that probably wasn't what she needed, and now he was determined to give her everything she was missing. He would regret for the rest of his life that he missed the moment when she discovered she was carrying his child, when her taste began to change, that it wasn't during her sleepless nights, nor the first examinations. But he was already with her and he would love her more than before to make up for her lonely weeks.

Her head rested on his shoulder and he looked sideways, raising his eyebrows. Perhaps her pregnancy was not the cause of her insomnia, but the worry about him, because she slept soundly on his shoulder. Jungkook kissed her forehead and strained all his strength to stand up with her in his arms and carry her into the guest room, gently laying her down, then stretched out next to her. His body still couldn't bear her weight like before and his muscles screamed in protest, but he just smiled and pulled her to him, wrapping her in a secure hug and with a hand on her stomach, he closed his eyes.
