forty one
Once the two heard the baby cry, they were able to breathe. They were finally able to breathe. Once Taehyung heard the baby cry, he instantly smiled but also instantly started crying happy tears. He looked over at Jungkook who was smiling with tears streaming down his face. "Baby A, born at 4:35pm." The doctor spoke and that time was forever planted in both minds.
After Jungkook cut the umbilical cord, he watched his daughter closely as the nurse went put the baby on Taehyung's chest. The male almost lost his breath as he looked at his baby girl. The baby girl that was growing within him for eight months. The blessing Jungkook gave him. Before she was taken to be clean, Taehyung kissed her forehead and they were already working on bringing out baby B.
Everything was going fine, Taehyung and Jungkook both holding hands as they heard the soft cry come from the other side of the room. Though, even so, Taehyung was becoming light headed due to so much blood being lost but also, he should not be feeling this way if he was correct.
Taehyung looked at Jungkook who was watching carefully. "Why ain't he crying?" Jungkook asked and Taehyung immediately began to worry. "What?! is he out?" He asked. Jungkook let go of Taehyung's hand for a second to take a step closer. All Taehyung could really hear were whispers and that had him fed up. "Why is my baby boy not crying?!" He began to panic.
Jungkook moved back to Taehyung and held his hand. "Taehyung, shh, it's okay." He tried to reassure the male. Even as he was panicking, his vision was becoming blurry. All he saw next was his baby boy being taken out of the room and Jungkook looking at the door that their baby boy was taken out of and and then a mask was being put on him. With that, he was out like a light.
When Taehyung awoke, he was in a room with Jungkook. The male blinked and looked around the room to see no babies, no one but them were in the room, not even TayJa. "Jungkook? where are they?" Taehyung croaked out. Jungkook looked up from the floor with red puffy eyes. He scratched the tip of his nose and walked over to the side of Taehyung's bed.
"You lost a lot of blood during surgery so they had to put you under but they said you should be fine." Jungkook spoke and Taehyung blinked. "I asked about our babies Jungkook.. not me.. where are our babies." he asked calmly one more time.
Jungkook stayed quiet. He had no idea what to say. He had no idea how to tell the boy who gave him two wonderful babies and now they'll be most likely be going home with only one. How could he say that their baby boy was dying and the doctors had no idea why? how, someone explain to him how.
"Jungkook!" Taehyung raised his voice and Jungkook just looked at him with a broken look. Jungkook grabbed Taehyung's hand. "Cheonsa is fine.. She's really healthy and she weighed six pounds three ounces." He managed to smile. Taehyung let out a dragged relieved sigh as he nodded and smiled. "and what about Hanuel?" He asked.
Jungkook could only look at Taehyung. The male looked down before he pushed the chair beside the bed and sat down, holding Taehyung's hand. "Jungkook.." he shook his head slowly and Jungkook pursed his lips. "Haneul was born 4:55pm but he weighed three pounds and one ounce." He clicked his tongue, looking at his feet before looking at Taehyung. "There is no easy way saying this Taehyung but he wasn't breathing when he came out.. they tried everything and.. and there is this machine that is helping him breathe.. he's on a machine that is helping him breathe but.. he's basically brain d-"
Taehyung shook his head. "No, No, you're lying, you're not seriously telling me our baby boy, our not even twenty four old baby boy is dying." He gave a chuckle while shaking his head. Jungkook sniffled and pursed his lips. "Jungkook, please tell me this is just some horrible joke, that our baby boy is.. no Jungkook please, please tell me, no-" the boy started to tear up as he tried to process what Jungkook was saying. Taehyung moved his hand away from Jungkook's and hid his face, breaking into a heartbreaking cry while mumbling 'no'. Jungkook tried not to cry but it was impossible because it was in fact true that their baby boy was dying and they couldn't do anything about it.
An hour later, Taehyung was sitting up just a bit, the nurse checking the wound before they came in with Haneul Taehyung already had red puffy eyes from crying along with Jungkook. Taehyung broke into a small cry seeing their baby hooked to this huge machine, looking so lifeless, lips tinted a bit blue. Jungkook couldn't even look, all he did was look at the floor.
Once Taehyung's mom came into the room, Taehyung was carrying Haneul. Taehyung was hugging the baby boy as he cried, Taehyung's mother immediately getting on the bed to hug her baby who was holding his baby and her grandson. Taehyung leaned into the touch and hiccuped.
"O-Once they pull the plug, he's going to stop breathing.. our baby is going to stop breathing and I don't know if i'm ready for that.. just this morning he was kicking like crazy. I could feel him kicking and moving.. where did I go wrong mom? I-I tried everything to protect him. I took the vitamins. I ate healthy, I even did these stupid remedies.. I did everything correctly, where did I go wrong?" He cried into his moms shoulder, the heavy feeling in his chest getting heavier by the moment.
Taehyung's mom couldn't help but cry with her son. As for Jungkook, the male had his thumbs over his eyes, trying to stop himself from crying even more but he couldn't. All those late nights he would be feeling his baby boys kicks. Those days he would talk about taking him to his first football game, first soccer game. How he couldn't wait to brag about his son being top in class. Of course maybe his son would have had different plans but just the imagination of having a son.. having all these father and son things to do but... it just wasn't meant to be.
It hurt like hell. Their son didn't even get a chance to grow. Haneul didn't have a chance to take his first steps, say his first word, learn to ride a bike. Heck he didn't even have a chance to breathe on his own. That shit broke him more than anything in his life because his first son had no chance against the world.
"Jungk-kook.." Taehyung spoke and Jungkook finally looked up, giving a hum in response. "Please hold him.. hold him while they unplug him please.." He pursed his lips. Jungkook felt his heart shatter for the nth time and he swore if he didn't have two other daughters to live for and Taehyung, he would probably be dead or at least half way to dying now. Jungkook looked at Taehyung before nodding and getting into the bed once Taehyung's mom got off. Now the whole family was there. Maybe not everyone but the important ones. Taehyung's mom and dad along with Jungkook's and TayJa. Jungkook picked up his son gently and looked at him.
The male had a small smile before he leaned in and kissed his forehead, losing it right there as he held him close. "I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you, I'm so sorry." He mumbled against his soft skin. Although Jungkook knew there was nothing he could have done, he felt like he should have done something. Now it was his turn to break into a cry, rocking back and forth, his lips never leaving his baby boys forehead. "Daddy is so sorry baby boy." He sniffled.
After so, TayJa was looking at her brother, Jungkook holding Haneul in one arm and TayJa in the other. TayJa held Haneul's hand and smiled a bit. "Don't worry. Me and Cheonsa will take care of mommy and dada, you can be a beautiful butterfly now." She smiled softly although she did have tears brimming her eyes. Both Jungkook and Taehyung looked at each other before smiling a bit. "Is he going to be a butterfly?" Jungkook asked and TayJa nodded.
With that, the three of them looked at Haneul, admiring his last few minutes. The thing they noticed when they would put the twins close to each other was that Cheonsa would give a small smile when next to her brother. Though the time came and Jungkook tried to make Taehyung hold him but Taehyung shook his head. Jungkook took a deep breath and nodded as he sat there next to Taehyung. The two holding his hand while Jungkook had him in his arms. After talking through what would happen, Taehyung and the rest nodded. The family gathered, Taehyung's father holding Cheonsa.
Once the machine was shut off and the tubes and such were removed, Jungkook felt his son breathe a few times and then a small squeeze came from their son "It's okay son, you can go, you can go now baby boy." Jungkook whispered, stroking his head. With that, he went limp and he stopped breathing. Jungkook just looked at the boy and cried as for Taehyung, he cried into Jungkook's shirt.
The little hand wrapped around his finger falling to the side as Hanuel let go. Feeling Hanuel let go made Jungkook cry even more. His heart breaking over and over again as he looked at his lifeless son. Wanting to do nothing but beg the doctors to do something but it was too far late to do anything.
Truly, that was the worst night ever.
