"He won't talk to me, hyung. I don't understand what I did wrong — or if I've even done something wrong!" Changbin proclaimed to the leader during a 3racha meeting.

Chan listened to his dongsaeng's words, giving the rapper a minute or so to calm down. He'd noticed that something had been off about Changbin recently, but he didn't know exactly what was going on... until now, that is.

According to Changbin, Felix — Changbin's boyfriend — had been ignoring him for the past few weeks. If the older walked into the room, Felix left the room. Instead of sitting at the table with his boyfriend and the others during dinner, Felix would opt to eat alone in his and Changbin's shared bedroom.

And to make matters worse... Felix would only talk to the older rapper if it was work-related. He wouldn't even address his boyfriend by any cute nicknames — he'd resorted to calling his lover Changbin hyung. He didn't normally use honorifics when talking to his boyfriend, so the older immediately knew that something wasn't right.

For weeks, Changbin had been mercilessly wracking his brain, trying to figure out what exactly he'd done wrong to deserve the cold shoulder and silent treatment from the young Aussie.

There was nothing he could think of, so, he decided to voice his concern to the leader.

Taking a minute to himself to think, Chan looked over at the shorter male. "Don't stress, Binnie. I'm sure that Felix has a very good reason for his behavior. But you need to have a conversation with him — sit him down and tell him your thoughts and feelings. He's too stubborn to come to you, so you have to go to him. Does that make sense?"

The second oldest member of 3racha nodded, allowing his hyung's words to fully sink in. "I understand. Thank you, Chan hyung."

The leader gave Changbin a dimpled smile. "You're welcome, Changbin-ah. Just doing my job."

Changbin returned to the dorm a few hours after his talk with Chan. He immediately retreated to his and Felix's room, closing the door behind himself. He'd just passed Hyunjin in the living room, who informed his hyung that Felix was currently showering.

So, naturally, Changbin decided to wait.

Fortunately for the older, he didn't have to wait too long.

About 20 minutes later, Felix entered the bedroom, clad in one of Changbin's hoodies and a pair of gym shorts. He didn't recognize his lover's presence until Changbin cleared his throat, resulting in Felix nearly jumping out of his skin.

"Jesus Christ, hyung! You should say something next time — I almost had a heart attack."

Changbin sat up on their shared bed, crossing his legs while he kept eye contact with Felix. "Lixie... I think we need to have a talk. Will you please come and sit?"

The young Aussie let out a sigh, wordlessly sitting down next to his boyfriend on the bed. He'd been dreading this moment for weeks, but he knew that it could no longer be avoided.

Seeing that Felix was remaining silent, Changbin exhaled before he began to speak.

"Felix... I've noticed that things have been different between us lately, and it's been bothering me like crazy. I feel like you're drifting away from me — you won't talk to me or stay in the same room as me. And whenever you do talk to me, it's always about work, and you address me as Changbin hyung instead of the cute nicknames you usually call me. I miss my sunshine, Lixie. Hell, we don't even cuddle together anymore; we just sleep in the same bed."

Taking a few seconds to gather himself, Changbin's hands grabbed ahold of Felix's. He expected the younger to pull away, but instead, he just held them and continued to listen.

"Did I do something to hurt you, Lix? Is that why you're so distant? Did I do something wrong?" The older's voice cracked. "Baby please... tell me what's wrong so I can try and fix it."

By the end, both males were teary-eyed.

Changbin was at the point of tears because he felt he'd somehow wronged his precious sunshine.

And Felix? He felt like crying because his actions caused his boyfriend so much hurt and sadness.

Felix couldn't hold it in anymore, and released a choked back sob he'd been holding in.

"I-I'm sorry, Binnie!" Wailed the younger. "I'm so sorry!"

Changbin quickly brought the Aussie into his arms, allowing Felix to cry on his shoulder. His heart aches when the boy's small frame wracked with sobs, but he had to be strong for Felix right now.

"Shh, Lixie. It's okay, baby. Just calm down for me, sunshine; you'll make yourself sick if you keep crying," the older coaxed sweetly. His hands gently ran up and down his lover's back, easing Felix's anxious mind and nervous heart.

The cries were reduced to sniffles now, and Felix pulled himself off of Changbin's shoulder. His glossy eyes looked deep into his partner's own eyes, feeling calm enough to finally speak.

"Binnie... I'm so so so sorry for hurting you. Believe me when I say that it was never my intention. You deserve to know what's going on, so, I'll tell you the truth. Just... promise me you won't hate me or break up with me after I tell you."

Felix's plea sounded so desperate and broken. Changbin thought the poor boy was going to faint due to how violently his body was shaking.

The older rapper placed a finger underneath his boyfriend's chin when Felix hung his head down. Tilting the younger's freckled face upwards, Changbin gave him a warm and gentle look in his eyes.

"Baby, there's no way I could ever think about hating you or breaking up with you, okay? I'd never judge you, sweetheart; I love you too much. Now... why don't you tell Binnie what's going on, hmm?"

The blonde Aussie let out a deep sigh, trying to internally brace himself for Changbin's reaction to the news he was about to share.

"I-I'm 16 weeks pregnant... with our baby."

Felix's confession sent waves of shock through Changbin's body. He gave his boyfriend's hand a gentle squeeze, encouraging the younger to continue.

"I found out when I was 8 weeks along. Aside from shock, the first thing I felt was fear. I was so scared that the news of my pregnancy would get out into the public, and that we'd get a lot of hate because of it. I was afraid that the others and Stay wouldn't accept our child. I was also scared of us getting kicked out of Stray Kids. I've already been eliminated once, and Woojin hyung left — I didn't want to be responsible for Stray Kids losing 2 more members because of our baby. But the one thing I was most afraid of... was disappointing you."

Taking a shaky breath, Felix continued after seeing his boyfriend's confused face.

"You're my everything, Bin. I was scared that I'd let you down because I accidentally got pregnant, and that you would hate me and want nothing to do with our child. I thought that I was protecting you by distancing myself from you... but I only made things so much worse. I'm so sorry, Binnie. Can you ever forgive me?"

Changbin watched as Felix chewed his bottom lip between his teeth — he was obviously anxious as to what the older was going to say.

Felix let out a little squeak when he felt Changbin's lips pressed against his in a beautiful kiss. His worries seemed to melt away as he returned the kiss, wrapping his small arms around Changbin's neck.

Pulling away from Felix to catch his breath, Changbin pressed his forehead against the younger's. A warm, excited smile was plastered on his face, making his eyes shine brightly and his heart leap with joy.

"Oh, Lixie... you didn't have to be afraid to tell me, my love. I understand you were scared — you had every right to be — but you didn't have to be scared of talking about this with me. I could never hate you, sweetheart; please know that I will always love you no matter what. And you can always tell the others anything, sunshine, even if it's embarrassing. We're a family; we're going to love and support each other through thick and thin. And if Stay truly loves us as much as they claim to, then they will show their support and love for us and the little one that's on the way."

As Changbin talked, Felix felt himself relaxing more and more. He couldn't help but smile with his boyfriend, happiness taking over his once anxious mind.

"I love you, Binnie. I love you so much," Felix said softly to his lover.

Changbin kissed the younger's nose, watching with glee as Felix's face scrunched up alongside his nose. His boyfriend was absolutely adorable.

"I love you too, Lixie." Changbin replied sweetly.

Felix let out a giggle before taking his lover's hands in his own tiny ones, guiding them to his midsection. There, just underneath the fabric of the hoodie and shorts, was a small baby bump that rested atop the dancer's hips.

The Aussie didn't miss the way Changbin's eyes lit up at the contact, giving him another smile.

"Do you want to say hello to our baby, m'love?"

Changbin nodded in excitement, admiring the blonde's clothed abdomen.

"Hi, little one. This is your daddy. I just want you to know that I love you and your mama so much, and that I'm going to do everything in my power to keep you both safe and loved. Your mama and I can't wait to meet you soon. Daddy loves you, little angel."

Whether it was the heartwarming tone that Changbin was talking in or the pregnancy hormones, Felix couldn't help but tear up at the older rapper's words.

"We love you too, Binnie," Felix replied softly.

Changbin smiled more as he laid down, opening his arms for Felix to fill them. Without hesitation the blonde settled next to Changbin, humming in content as his lover wrapped his arms around his tiny frame once he'd thrown a fuzzy blanket over the two of them.

Changbin's hands rested on Felix's abdomen while his face pressed itself into the crook of his boyfriend's neck, inhaling the cherry scented body lotion the younger had used after his shower.

"Thank you, darling, for making me a father. Now get some rest; I'll wake you up before dinner time. I love you, Lixie."

Felix closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth that Changbin gave him, allowing himself to succumb to the feeling of tiredness that suddenly overtook his body.

"Love you more, Binnie."

The couple fell asleep rather quickly, both males dreaming about their unborn child that was currently growing inside of Felix.

They couldn't wait to be parents.
