Jungkook was taking all the emptied boxes downstairs when the doorbell rang. He had a toothbrush in his mouth as he sat the boxes down and opened the door. He was shirtless, wearing only some blue jeans, the band of his boxers visible. He opened the door and his eyes widened seeing who was there.
Jimin came down stairs a little later wearing white short shorts and white thigh garters. The left thigh garter connecting to a knee high white sock. The right sock around his calf. He wore an oversized white sweater that had clean cut holes around the neck and a spaghetti strap top underneath. He also had on a white choker and silver dangle earrings.
"Who is it-?" Jimin holds the railing as he walks down before looking up and seeing Leo.
"Shut the door!" Jimin screamed.
Jungkook reflexively slammed the door before realizing what he did.
"Wa did a do dat?" He said with the toothbrush in his mouth.
Jimin rushed down the stairs.
"Why is he here?!"
Jungkook shrugged as he brushed his teeth before going upstairs and rinsing his mouth. He came back down to see Jimin pacing in front of the door.
"He's not going to leave."
"Maybe if we wait long enough he will." Jimin nods biting his nail.
Jungkook walked past Jimin and went to open the door. Jimin grabbing his waist trying to prevent him from opening the door. Jungkook, being physically bigger than Jimin, easily opened the door.
"Are you going to slam the door in my face again?" Leo raised an eyebrow.
Jungkook awkwardly laughed.
"No, sorry. Please, come in." He smiled as he allowed Leo inside.
Jimin biting his thumb nail as he stood behind Jungkook.
"Would you like to have a seat in our living room?" Jungkook smiles with his lips together.
Leo nods as Jungkook walks to the living room, Leo behind him, and Jimin behind Leo. Jungkook opened the door and let Leo walk in, looking around the room before sitting down. Jungkook sat down on the couch across from Leo and Jimin reluctantly shut the door. Walking quickly over to Jungkook and plopping down. His knees were facing Jungkook as they were together.
"Jimin, how have you been?"
"Fine." He mumbles.
"Are you going to be dressed, well, half dressed, like that this whole time?" Leo directed to Jungkook who's eyes widened slightly.
"Oh well, I'm just comfortable in my house." Jungkook nods.
Leo hummed.
"Well, I came here to relay a message from your father." Leo says to Jimin.
"Okay?"
"He would like you to come home or go live with your brother."
Jimin blinked quickly before shaking his head.
"He did?"
Leo nods.
"Well you'll have to tell him no. I'm an adult. As is Liz. I'm perfectly fine here."
"Well, we just think you shouldn't be living with an alpha." Leo sighs.
"Why? You think I can't handle myself?"
"What about when your heat comes? Or his rut? We don't want you getting hurt."
Jimin was feeling spiteful so he said.
"Well, maybe we'll help each other."
Jungkook choked on his spit and started coughing excessively. Smacking his chest to clear his lungs as Leo stared at his son wide eyed.
"We'll what?!" Jungkook wheezed.
"We're both adults. I don't see the issue."
"You can't be serious?" Leo inquires as he looks at his son who shrugs.
Suddenly there was a loud thump followed by crying. Jimin hurriedly stood up and rushed out of the room. Jungkook was left with Leo staring at him as if he could murder him at any moment.
"Are you going to try something on my son, huh?" Leo glares at Jungkook who throws his left leg over his right leg, holding his knee with both hands before awkwardly smiling.
Jimin came back a little later holding a sniffling Prince whose face was bright red and his eyes were wet. He was quietly whining as Jimin shut the door and sat down. Jungkook turned to Jimin, uncrossing his legs and rubbing Prince's face.
"What happened?"
"He was reaching for something and fell." Jimin explained rubbing Prince's head.
"How high?"
"No more than a foot, he used two step stools."
Jungkook sighed.
"Buddy, I told you if you need anything to come ask one of us."
"I know but I-I just wanted it." Prince sniffled before rubbing his eye with his tiny fist.
Leo watched the exchange with a slightly broken heart. He sees how great a father his son could be. How badly his son wanted a baby was showing through how he takes care of this child. He slightly frowns as he remembers that terrible day where he had taken his son to the doctor.
—
"Dad, what if they tell me I'm dying?" Jimin's hands were sweating as he held them together tightly, his breathing quickening.
Leo sighed before touching his son's shoulder, kissing his temple before smiling down at him.
"I'm sure it's okay."
"C-can you come with me? Please?" Jimin's broken voice was all that filled Leo's ears before nodding.
"Of course."
The nurse came out and called Jimin's name as he stood up. His knees close to buckling. Hand immediately going out for Leo to take which he does. Walking with his oldest child into the room. Following behind the nurse. She opened the door and allowed Jimin and Leo into the room.
"Please change into this gown. You can keep your underwear on." She nods before leaving, Leo following behind her to allow Jimin to change.
Jimin knocked on the door telling Leo he could enter. Jimin sat on the bed, the parchment paper underneath him rustling as he gripped the side of the bed. Leo rubbed the back of his neck.
"Everything's going to be okay." Leo smiles at his eighteen-year-old son.
"What if my heart got worse? What if I get worse heart pain than last time?" Jimin's eyes shook as he gripped Leo's hand.
"Sweetheart, it's okay. Breathe."
The doctor came in a little later with a small smile before sitting down in her swivel chair. She crossed her legs as she looked over the papers on her clipboard.
"Hi, Mr. Park. How are you today?"
"I'm okay." Jimin nods as he grips his hospital gown.
"Can you lay down for me?" She smiles.
Jimin slowly lays down on the bed and the doctor washed her hands before sliding some gloves on.
"Do you still want me here?" Leo asks.
Jimin reaches his hand to Leo before nodding. Leo holds Jimin's hand as the doctor begins to press on his stomach. His grip on Leo's hand getting tighter. Her fingertips would poke and press under his stomach and still there before moving somewhere else. She grabbed her stethoscope. Pressing it under Jimin's stomach on his bare skin. It was cold and he flinched, gripping Leo's hand.
"Your uterus seems healthy. We can take some x-rays as well." She says as she rolls towards the desk sitting in the room. Typing something into the system before rolling back to him.
She checked his heart and exhaled through her nose.
"It's still irregular. Have you been taking your medications?"
He nods.
"I take the amount it says on the days it says."
"Your heart is still weak, Mr. Park. I know you've been asking for a while about whether you can have kids and sure you can but it's extremely risky." She explains.
Jimin pouts as his eyes gloss over.
"So, if you ever do end up pregnant, I truly suggest you think about it thoroughly unless of course your heart gets stronger."
Jimin nods as he shuts his eyes. The doctor frowned before standing up.
"Would you like an x-ray?"
Jimin shakes his head.
"I just wanna go home." His broken voice cracks.
The ride back home was quiet. Jimin didn't talk the whole time or look over to his father. He looked out of the window the whole ride home, sniffling every now and then. Leo didn't try to speak with him, knowing Jimin's mind was swirling.
Once they got home, as soon as Leo opened the door, Jimin rushed upstairs to his room, slamming the door. Liz looked up as he was sewing with Halo.
"Did Minnie go upstairs?" The fourteen-year-old asked.
Leo nodded before Liz put his things down and ran upstairs. Leo heard Liz knock on the door, whispering something, then the door slowly opened before clicking shut.
Leo sat on the arm of the chair where his husband was sitting.
"So?"
"The doctor said his heart is still very weak."
Halo stopped sewing and slowly sat the fabric down in his lap.
"Is his pain going to get worse? I can't take another moment where my baby falls to the ground screaming and crying in pain." Halo whispered as a small tear left his eye.
Leo wiped the single tear then kissed his husband.
"We just have to get it stronger. I'm sure he's going to be okay." Leo smiles.
Halo sighs and nods as he relaxes against his husband.
Meanwhile upstairs Jimin was quiet as he hugged his brother as they laid on his bed.
"What'd the doctor say?" Liz asked, voice muffled against Jimin's chest.
"I'm healthy but not." The hazel-eyed brother responded.
"What'd you mean?" Liz looked up to his brother, eye's big.
Jimin squished his cheek against the other omega's.
"At least they didn't say I'd die."
"Minnie, are you still having those pains?" The blonde asked.
Jimin sighed.
"Yeah, seems like it."
"Why? Those scare me. I always think you're going to leave me behind." Liz's voice quivered as he held his brother tighter.
"I don't know why. I don't like them either."
The heart pains are random tight, sharp, stabbing pains, Jimin would get in his heart. His heart would stop for a quick second but cause immense pain. The worst one so far was when he was in the shower. Which is why he can't lock the door when he showers anymore. He got the pain in his heart and fell out of the shower, screaming and writhing on the floor. Leo had to kick down the door and pick Jimin up, ignoring his nakedness and holding him tightly as he screamed for Halo to get his medication as he rubbed his son's chest over his heart.
It terrified Liz beyond belief.
Hearing his brother scream at the top of his lungs and cry. Watching as his parents panicked and yelled, rushing around and cradling their son. Halo had to help Jimin finish his shower, but instead it was a bath. Sure as an eighteen-year-old it was embarrassing but he was thankful. He's broken a few things due to this pain. As he was putting dishes away he dropped a cup as he felt a quick sharp pain. He fell to the ground heaving before the pain subsided. It was terrible and affected him terribly.
Especially in his school career, he would accidentally interrupt the class as he fell out of his chair, on the ground screaming as he clawed at his chest. Everyone in the class would watch in horror as the teacher called the office. If Taehyung was in the class when it happened, he would rush and help him.
Everyone felt bad for him because of this.

"Son." Leo called.
Jimin looked up from Prince and eyed him.
"Can I talk to you for a second, please?"
Jimin's jaw tightened before handing Prince to Jungkook then leaving the room. Leo followed behind him.
"Jimin-"
"Say what you want and leave." Jimin cut him off, turning around to him.
"How has your heart been?"
"It's been beating. Small pains but nothing like before." Jimin said plainly.
"I guess you have gotten a lot better, huh? You don't need me anymore?" Leo spoke as Jimin looked down with his arms crossed.
"You said you'd always need me but I guess I messed that up. You probably won't ever forgive me or let me back in. But I want you to know I'm sorry. I just didn't want to lose you." Leo sighs.
"Yeah, when I was younger I did say I would always need you. And you're right, you did fuck that up. It was hard to not need you. To not call. Why couldn't you just be happy for me?"
Leo looked up as he blinked a few tears away.
"I didn't want to see my son disappear. I didn't want to have to stand over your grave before you stood over mine."
"So you hurt me like that?"
"I admit, it was selfish and stupid of me. I can't defend myself for what I did. All I can ask is you let me back in."
"That won't be anytime soon. Get out."
"Jimin-"
"Dad, please." Jimin pointed to the door to which Leo slowly walked towards.
Jimin opened the door and Leo walked out.
Jimin shut the door behind him and pressed his forehead against it.
Leo walked to and got into his car. Sitting there as he exhaled quietly.
"I didn't tell him the most important part." He whispered before starting the car and driving home.
