"When is he due? You look like you're going to explode at this rate," Mani plopped down next to the omega with her arms crossed.

"He's due in 3 days."

"Aw! After his daddy!" Liz squealed as he hugged his brother's arm.

At the moment, everyone was holding a massive party for Jungkook's 37th birthday. Jimin had arranged the huge party, even though he feels like he was the size of a walrus. He ordered everyone to keep the birthday man entertained so he wouldn't be focusing on him all night.

Which didn't work as well as he hoped because the alpha came rushing over not even fifteen minutes after he was ushered away. He knelt down and placed his hands on Jimin's swollen stomach.

"You okay? Do you feel fine? Do you want some water? Juice? Alcohol? Oh, right you can't have alcohol. Any food? Are you tired? We can head home, I don't care," Jungkook spewed.

Jimin sighed and took Jungkook's hands in his.

"I'm fine."

"Are you sure? No contractions or feeling like he's about to come out?"

"Jungkook," Jimin eyed his husband.

"Baby, I'm serious. If there's anything you need I'll do it for you right now. Do you need to use the bathroom?"

Jimin rolled his eyes.

"It's your birthday. Stop worrying about me and go have fun."

"But you're due in 3 days. What if your water breaks right now?"

"Then we'd end the party and go to the hospital," Jimin chuckled.

"But for right now I'm completely fine." Jimin leaned forward and kissed his husband's cheek.

Jungkook sighed as he rubbed his hands over Jimin's stomach, smiling softly when he felt movement from his second son somewhere in there.

"Baby, are you sure you—"

"There you are! Get back over here and throw some ass!" Taehyung shouted as he and Namjoon grabbed one of Jungkook's arms and dragged him away.

Jimin cheekily waved as Jungkook disappeared into the crowd.

"I'm gonna go find Jinnie," Jimin announced as he stood up with the help of his brother.

He made his way towards the stairs, away from the loud party. He walked down the hallway and pushed a door open to see an omega holding a chubby baby in his arms.

"Hey, Jinnie," Jimin smiled as he sat in front of Jin.

He had brought a chair up and sat it in front of the omega.

Seokjin looked up and smiled.

"Hey," he whispered.

"How are you? How's the baby?"

"I'm fine. Tired but fine. Now, this little girl here is tiring me out."

The baby murmured as buried her head further against her father.

"Can I hold her?"

"Yeah, of course. Hopefully, she won't wake up crying."

Jin carefully placed his daughter in Jimin's arms who gently smiled at the pup in his arms. Jimin gently rocked her then looked up at her father.

"She's gorgeous, Jinnie."

"Thank you, she takes after her alpha father."

"See, that's how I know you're tired. You'd never let Namjoon take the credit for your baby's beauty, even if you think it's true deep down in your confident heart," Jimin chuckled as he crushed the baby's cheek with his finger.

"Look, I was up all night with her to make sure Namjoon was completely energized for this party. Because I knew you'd want him to help keep that husband of yours busy."

Jimin chortled.

"I appreciate it. Though, I don't think the little man appreciates me holding a baby before him," Jimin exhaled slowly as he pressed a hand to his stomach while holding Mwhai close to his chest.

"Are you okay? Do you need me to call Jungkook?" Jin scooched to the edge of his seat and took his pup from the omega taking deep breaths.

"No no no, I'm fine. It's fine. This happens sometimes."

"Yeah, well, these 'sometimes' are important when you're 3 days away from exploding."

Jimin chuckled as he pushed himself up and out of the chair.

"I'm alright, hyung. A little tired but alright. I'll go drag my husband and son outta here so you can finally get some sort of shut-eye."

"Bless you."

Jimin giggled as he opened the door carefully and then shut it behind him just as carefully.

He made his way down the hallway before he came to an abrupt stop and grabbed the wall, best he could, near him. He placed a hand under his stomach and pressed the ache and tightness there. He took a few deep breaths but the pain got worse. His chest then began to tighten and his hand shot up from his side to his chest. Pressing down hard as he took quicker breaths.

His eyes watered as his knees buckled and he slid down to his knees. His breathing quickened and his eyes watered. His hand clawed at the wood floor underneath him as his heartbeat was loud in his ears.

"Honey!" Jimin looked up, breathing hard, and saw his husband run toward him.

He grabbed his hands and cradled him against his body. Jimin's hands stayed on his chest while Jungkook rubbed his stomach.

"Is it time? What hurts? Are you okay? Should we go to the hospital?" Jungkook's eyes were frantic as he held Jimin's cheek.

Soon his heartbeat regulated and the pain in his side subsided.

"I'm fine, we can go back down—"

"No. We're going home."

"Jungkook, I'm fine."

"Be quiet. We're going home."

Jungkook picked up the omega bridal style, walked back downstairs, then announced their departure.

Prince fell asleep in the backseat while Jungkook drove back to their home silently.

"Babe—"

"Why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling well?"

"Because I felt fine until then."

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"

"Baby, I'm fine, honestly."

Jungkook peeked at his husband but looked back at the road.

"Fine."

~

"Hello?" Halo mumbled through his sleep.

"Breathe, baby, breathe." Jimin ushered.

Halo could hear a hyperventilating Jungkook wheezing out words.

"Jimin? Baby? What's going on?"

"Hey, papa. My water broke. Jungkook, Prince, and I are headed to the hospital right now. After I call you I'll inform everyone else."

"Wait, why are you telling him to breathe if you're the one going into labor?"

"Pa, he's like dad. Besides, it isn't bad right now. Other than wet pants, I'm fine. Jungkook, my poor poor husband, thinks the baby is coming out right this moment."

"ISN'T THAT WHAT LABOR MEANS!?"

"No, honey. And focus on the road!"

Halo sighed.

"You three be safe and don't hurry too fast, understand?"

"Yes, papa."

"Bye-bye, baby."

"Bye-bye."

~

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Here, let me just—"

"No! Go sit down somewhere! You're hovering worse than my father. Prince, come get your dad," Jimin huffed as he waved his husband away.

"Come on, dad." Prince dragged his father to sit beside him on the couch.

The door to their hospital room soon opened revealing everyone.

Liz, Taehyung, and Rein. Namjoon, Seokjin, and Mwhai. Rosé, Chung-ha, Mani, and Hye-jin. Yoongi, Hoseok, and Byung-joon. Ryan and Jennie. And of course, Halo and Leo.

Jimin's aunts and uncles were informed about him going into labor but they wouldn't be there until after the baby was born.

Prince also made sure Yuta held up his promise and called him to inform him about the soon arrival of his baby brother.

"Hello, my baby." Halo cooed as he caressed Jimin's cheek.

"How much longer?" Liz asks with a sleeping Rein on his hip.

"The nurse came in not long ago and said I'm dilated 3 centimeters. But my contractions aren't coming fast enough."

Liz hummed as he grabbed Jimin's hand and squeezed. His eyes drifted toward the patch on his chest.

He knows it's normal. To track one's contractions, heartbeats, and pulse. But it felt threatening to see him hooked up to a machine. Liz mentally counted each bump on the machine that tracked his brother's heartbeat.

They were regular. He was healthy. They didn't stop for a second and they didn't skip beats.

He was only drawn out of his thoughts when Rein pulled on his lip and giggled when he scowled at her.

"When's the nurse coming back?" Leo asked as he rubbed Prince's hair.

The pup immediately rested his head in his grandfather's lap after he arrived. He took the chance to take a nap as it was one in the morning.

"She comes every 15 minutes," Jungkook answered as he rested his head gently on top of Jimin's stomach.

Everyone sat around and talked as they waited.

Eventually, everyone was ushered out of the room as nurses and a doctor filed in. Jimin's contractions grew more frequent and more intense as he was completely dilated. Though he wasn't crowning yet. Jungkook stood beside Jimin holding his hand and dabbing his face with a cold cloth.

Then, it began.

"You're going to start pushing soon, okay? I'll tell you when to push and when to stop and breathe, okay?" The doctor looked up to make sure Jimin understood him.

Jimin nodded quickly as he gripped Jungkook's hand. Jungkook's eyes subconsciously drifted to the machine monitoring Jimin's heartbeats and noticed how the bumps got higher and closer together. He knew childbirth was an intense thing and Jimin's heartbeat obviously wouldn't stay regular but it still felt off to him.

Jimin's screams and tight grip on his hand pained him. But he knew he'd get to see his baby boy once it was over, but this time with the omega that birthed him. He was beyond excited honestly. He pecked Jimin's temple when it was time to relax.

"Good job, good job, we've got a head! Now at the count of three push!"

Jimin nodded as the doctor counted down. He pushed again.

His chest hurt. His chest burned. He felt like he couldn't breathe. Like he was being choked and his heart was being held tightly. It felt just like when he had Prince.

But back then it didn't mean anything good.

Back then....

Bump bump.

Jimin gasped as he felt like he was just shot through the heart.

"This isn't good," the doctor mumbled as he looked at his hands and the situation in front of him.

"Doctor!" A nurse shouted as the machine beeped wildly and then skipped a few times.

The doctor looked up at Jimin, then at the machine, then down at the baby.

"Ah—"

The doctor turned to the nurse.

"He's losing a lot of blood."

"We apologize sir but we need to ask you to leave." A nurse ushered Jungkook away from Jimin who was shaking and wheezing in bed.

"No! Can't I stay? What's happening? Please, Ms, can't I just—"

The doors were slammed shut and Jungkook just had to stand in front of the door. His hands shook by his sides.

"What's wrong with you?" Liz said in a joking manner.

"Did you see something you wish you hadn't?" He giggled.

"He...was shaking. The doctor said... he was losing too much blood. He was in pain." Jungkook tilted to the side and was caught by Liz.

"What? He was what..." Liz's voice was shaky.

"The doctors said he was losing a lot of blood and he was turning pale and shaking and... Liz."

Jungkook turned to look at Liz.

"Are my husband and child going to be okay?"

Liz's lip quivered as he wrapped his arms around Jungkook's waist. Jungkook stared into nothingness as he felt completely numb.

~

"It's been 15 minutes, dad," Prince whispered. "When are they going to tell us something?"

Jungkook hummed as he rubbed Prince's hair and then pecked his forehead.

"I don't know, pup. Just... soon I hope."

Prince sighed as he buried his nose into Jungkook's chest.

"Puppy, I'm sure your father will be just fine. He's a strong one." Halo smiled at Prince as he rubbed his grandson's cheek.

"Right, dear?" Halo turned to Leo whose head had fallen back and his arms were crossed.

"Dear." Halo elbowed Leo's side who sat up.

"He's made it through a lot of shit. So..." Leo's eyes drifted to the doctor walking towards their group.

"Son heads up." Leo nodded at Jungkook who turned to where Leo was looking.

He tapped Prince's leg as he stood up, signaling for the pup to move.

"Mr. Jeon, I have good news and bad news." The doctor placed his hands in the pockets of his white coat.

Everyone freezes at the mention of "bad" news.

"Good news first then."

"The good news is your baby is a healthy baby boy. Eight pounds and eight inches. He can be with you soon after we finish all of our needed tests."

Leo appeared beside Jungkook who released a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"And the bad news?"

But as soon as Leo said that his heartbeat picked up once again.

"The bad news is due to the intensity of this birth, the baby being eight pounds and such, Mr. Jeon went into cardiac arrest. I'm sure you both know about his heart condition? His breathing became irregular and his heart completely stopped."

Jungkook's legs weakened and he almost fell if it weren't for Leo standing right beside him.

"We did manage to get his heart pumping again but he is in a comatose-like state. We don't know when or if he'll wake up."

Then for Jungkook, the world went black.
