Mingi growls, running his hand through his hair as he does his homework on the bed while Seonghwa took a quick shower before bed. He didn't understand why he needed to know this if he was going for law enforcement. He didn't understand any of this.

At this point, he's ready to give up and work somewhere full time so he can focus on Seonghwa and the baby. The thing is, he needed to speak to Seonghwa about it. Even though it's his decision, he needed to speak to his fiancé about it considering it will impact their future.

The bathroom door opens softly and Seonghwa stops in the doorway with just a large T-shirt on, "Oh, I thought you were asleep baby I'm sorry."

"No don't be, I need to get some sleep so I can wake up and get to school early to finish this bullshit assignment," he sighs, slamming his books shut and throwing them on the floor and shuts his laptop.

Seonghwa pouts, smiling a little when he remembered he had to show the taller something, "Are you ready?"

Mingi arches his eyebrow, looking over to the older and seeing Seonghwa had gripped the edge of his T-shirt in his hands. He was biting his lip as he sways back and forth, looking absolutely innocent and adorable to Mingi. The taller chuckles, "Show me."

Seonghwa lifts his shirt over his belly, exposing his bright blue panties and the round midsection that was growing bigger, "Buh Bam!"

Mingi laughs, gesturing the older to come closer to him and the older does so, crawling towards him. When he was right in front of Mingi, the older sits on his knees while the younger lifted his shirt again and exposed the small belly his fiancé was supporting.

He leans forward, pressing a gently kiss right by Seonghwa's belly button as he cups it, "Hello little one. You're growing so well already."

Seonghwa smiles, "Pretty soon I'll be huge."

"You won't be huge," Mingi rolls his eyes, helping Seonghwa lay down before he tucks him in under the covers, "I can't wait until we find out what we're having."

"We should be able to when I'm twelve or fifteen weeks, it depends on what position he or she will be in and if they cooperate," Seonghwa giggles, "What do you think it'll be?"

"A boy," Mingi nods, "It's gotta be. If it's a little girl I'll be shocked."

Seonghwa giggles again, kissing Mingi before placing a hand on his belly, "We won't know until it's time to find out."

Mingi hums, laying down beside Seonghwa and places a hand right beside the older's, feeling the hardness. He smiles, "I have a small request if we have a girl."

Seonghwa looks up, his eyes lighting up at the thought of a tiny girl version of Mingi runs around in pigtails, "What's that?"

Mingi clears his throat, "I want to name her after our moms, if it's possible. I didn't really know my mom well but I was still close to her as a child. Her name was Lynn."

Seonghwa's heart melts, "Mae and Lynn. MaeLynn."

Mingi arches his eyebrow before realization hits him, "I love it," he smiles, rubbing his lover's belly softly, "If you're a little girl in there, you're from now on named MaeLynn."

Seonghwa giggles, cuddling up close to Mingi and humming when the younger wraps his strong, tattooed arms around his waist as he pulled him as close as he can minding the belly. The younger hums as he thinks about the question roaming around in his brain, "Seonghwa?"

"Hm?" The older hums, sighing in content when he snuggles even closer to Mingi.

"What would you say or do if I dropped out of college?" Mingi asks hesitantly.

Seonghwa hums, "It's none of my business what you do babe. If you want to drop out, drop out. If you want to stay and finish, then stay and finish."

"I just... I got to thinking about our future and I want to be able to be around you guys more. You, the baby, all of it. With Law Enforcement I won't be able to, and I don't have an interest in the field anymore-"

"Then quit," Seonghwa shrugs, looking up at him, "Baby I cant control what you do. If you want to leave school and work full time, then do it. If you think you'll be happier doing this then I'll support you every step of the way. Once this baby gets here I'm applying to any surgical center I can and hospital I can."

Mingi leans down and connects their lips together in a soft kiss before letting out a relieved sigh, "I love you, how did I get so lucky to find someone like you?"

Seonghwa giggles, "It's what happens when you let someone borrow your pencil in Biology."

Mingi chuckles, wrapping his arms tighter around Seonghwa, "I want to work with Jongho and San and Jongho's dad at the parlor."

Seonghwa shrugs, "Then do it. I just want what's best for you and want what makes you happy."

Mingi smiles into his hair, "You're incredible."

"Don't you dare forget it either."

With school coming closer to an end, Mingi was able to convince his counselor to drop out of the law enforcement program after this year. He was a little disappointed, but happy for Mingi when he heard of his reason why.

"It's not easy, being in this field and having a family," his counselor admitted, sighing as he brushes a hand through his graying hair, "My wife left me with my two sons when I put work before them. It's hard to put your family first before everything else in this field."

"And that is exactly why I'm wanting to leave," Mingi nods, "I didn't think I'd have to worry about this situation when I joined this field, but now with a baby on the way and with me getting married soon... I'd rather be with them."

"I understand son," he shakes the tall boy's hand, "Good luck."

Shortly after leaving, Mingi went straight to the tattoo parlor where his best friends worked, seeing their vehicles were inside. He walks in and is welcomed immediately with Jongho's boisterous voice, "Mingi!! What are you doing here?"

"Well, I came to see if you needed another artist," Mingi smirks, "or desk person till I get my license."

"We actually will once San gets his license in August," Jongho nods, "I still got some time but I can do piercings. I can ask dad?"

"Sure," Mingi laughs, "How's he going to feel with all of us working here?"

"Eh, he's used to me and San," Jongho shrugs, "And we get into all kinds of shenanigans."

He disappeared from the counter to the back, and while he was gone Mingi looked around at many new tattoo ideas. He wanted to get one for his child but he wanted to wait until they were born that way he knew what to get. He had a bare spot on the right side of his chest so maybe something right there?

"Not you!" He heard a voice call from behind him and turns to see Jongho's dad leaning in the doorway, "What do you know hot stuff?"

Mingi chuckles, "I came for a job, got any openings?"

"Perhaps," Jongho's dad points outside and pulls out his vape. Mingi follows him, they step out away from the door to finish speaking as Jongho's dad takes a puff from his vape, "What are you looking to do?"

"Anything here until I can get my license," Mingi admitted, "Please, sir, if you have anything available I'll take it. I'll even clean the fucking toilets-"

"Nah, Mingi you're not cleaning my shit," Jongho's father chuckles, "Tell you what, come by tomorrow around noon if you don't have classes. You'll work with San, and he will decide if you get the job or not."

Mingi swallows, nodding his head, "I understand," he shakes his hand, smiling politely, "See you tomorrow at noon."

"Don't be late, and don't come in with a bad attitude," Jongho's father calls, taking another puff from his vape before heading back inside the tattoo parlor.

Mingi is shaking with joy as he gets in his car and heads back home. He couldn't wait to tell Seonghwa, the older will be very excited much like he is.
