Baekhyun's pov

Climbing out of bed slowly as not to wake Chanyeol, I grab some clothes and head into the bathroom to get changed real quick. Once I'm ready I head out grabbing my phone and car keys while scribbling a note and leaving it on the bed side table so chanyeol can see it as he wakes.

Sneaky out as not to wake sehun and luhan also, I grab my shoes and close the door gently behind me as I hurry down the stairs to the lobby slipping on my shoes and walking to my car.

The sun hasn't come up yet, there is still a chill in the air so I pull up my hoodie and walk quickly to my car. Pressing the button to open it I climb inside feeling my stomach start to turn. "Oh no little one not now please" I rub my stomach and take a few breaths. Feeling it settle I start the engine and turn on the heater warming up the car before I head off.

Driving along I decide to head to a early morning coffee shop that the early morning workers go to. Parking my car I go inside to the smell of freshly made coffee and fresh made cakes. I join the que behind tired all night nurses and wide awake business people. Finally my turn arrives I order a decaf tea and a slice of cake not caring what people think of me eating cake this hour of the morning.

I sit down the back by the window and tuck into my cake sipping my tea as I look out the window as the sun starts to rise. Taking out my phone I dial Chanyeol's office number and wait to see if anyone answers.

As a lady answers I ask her to pass me over to Justin and I'm happy to know he has just arrived to work

"Hey Justin it's baek"

Omg baek how have you been"

"I'm fine, look Justin I need a favour"

Once I get the information I need I hang up the phone and put the directions into my map app on my phone. Finishing my food and tea I decide to head back to the car

"Ok little one please don't judge me for what I am going to do today" starting the car I take a deep breath and pull out into traffic and follow the directions on my phone.

Reaching the place I park my car and walk towards the giant black iron gates as the caretaker opens them as an older lady stands beside me wearing her best clothes carrying a bunch of flowers. She smiles and hands me a single flower from the bunch as I bow with thanks.

Stepping inside I look around at all the stones carrying sadness with them of what lays beneath.

Following the directions I got earlier I reach my destination, taking a deep breath I step closer and face the stone. I glance over the stone but read the name.

Timothy James (Tj)

"Well here I am Tj, looks like you lost this round, just to let you know you will never come between me and my man ever again, we are gonna live a happy life and have a beautiful baby of our own, Chanyeol loves me more then you ever have and guess what he is still alive, so here I am to say goodbye to you once last time" dropping the flower on the over turned mud where grass use to lay I turn to walk away.

"Oh one more thing, I hope you rot in hell" reaching for the flower I just dropped on his grave I pick it back up and place it on the grave beside his and leave.

Climbing into my car I feel a weight has been lifted off my chest, I finally feel free all of a sudden.

Starting the car I head to the park I love so much and sit on my favourite bench

"Hey little one" I rub my little bump "mommy loves you so much you have been very good this morning, mommy said goodbye to someone and will now have to explain it all to daddy and the others, I'm going to call a meeting I think and sort this out once and for all" smiling I take a deep breath and release it looking as some parents come to the park with their children making me smile at their little faces

Taking my phone from my pocket I see 2 missed calls and a text message from Chanyeol

I got your message I hope your ok please come back soon
C

I decide to write a message and send it to them all asking to meet me back at mine at lunch time. Once it's sent I put my phone away and just stay where I am feeling the warm breeze with a slight chill in it as I rub my tummy. "Little one I can't wait for you to arrive so I can bring you here" I smile closing my eyes listening to the world around me, the laughter of children in the park and the horns of cars on the road and the beautiful song of the birds in the trees.

Chanyeol pov
(A few moments earlier)

Waking up I slowly open my eyes as I look over my shoulder and see Baek isn't there, maybe he is up already, I hope he isn't getting sick. I slowly pull myself up and reach for my sling for my arm putting it on as I see a note on the bedside table.

Chanyeol there is something I need to do, I won't be long I promise, please don't worry, I love you

Reading the note I reach for my laptop and power it up as I wait for it to load. Opening the app I track baeks tracker in his watch and see where he is as I then slam my laptop closed, closing my eyes I take a deep breath as a knock comes to my bedroom door

"Come in" I shout out as Sehun enters the room with his phone in hand

"Have you seen this, and where is baek?" Sehun looks towards baeks side of the bed looking confused

"He isn't here and what is it? Chanyeol reaches his good arm out as Sehun moves closer to him sitting on the bed beside him he hands him his phone

"Baek sent this?" Chanyeol looks a Sehun with a puzzled look while reading it

"Yeah luhan got it aswell, baek wants us all to meet here at lunch,any idea why?"

"I have an idea" Chanyeol stands up slowly wincing at the pain in his side where the tube was

"You know I have been shot 3 times and the pain where the tube was is the worst of them all" I laugh trying to distract myself from thinking of baek been where he is

"I'll get your pain medicine and we can change your dressings" Sehun stands up to leave

"Lets leave the dressing for now just the pain medicine now, we can change the dressing later" I tell him as I slowly follow him out

Baekhyun's pov

After a few hours have past and I went for a walk around the park I decide now is the time to head back and talk to them all. Getting into the car I head for home.

Pulling up in the drive way I see the others cars all parked up waiting for me as I feel my legs turn to jelly and my stomach start to flutter "Ok little one let's go find the others shall we" I climb out of the car and head inside.

Once outside the door I take a deep breath and head inside to them all sitting in the sitting room talking

"Baek your back" Luhan rushed over to me and hugs me tight

"Yeah sorry, I needed to do something" I look at chanyeol as I now remove my watch not taking my eyes off him and placing it on the table.

"I called you all here because I want to tell you all something, specially you Chanyeol" I look towards him as he just stares at me, I know he knows where I was but I hope he will understand. Standing in front of them all, I take another deep breath and start.

I know I have been a hand full lately, ok not only lately but like forever and you guys have always been there for me trying to make me see better. I did something this morning that I know none of you will be happy with me, but I needed to do it" I lower my head

"What did you do baek it's ok you can tell us?" Luhan says while sitting on the floor

Looking straight at Chanyeol I tell them" I went to Tj's grave" Chanyeol looks down at his arm resting on his lap

"You fucking what?" D.O stands up shouting as Kai pulls him back down to sit and to hush up

"Ok I know your all upset but I don't care" Chanyeol looks up at me as soon as I say that

"I needed to say goodbye and do it in my own way" I walk towards Chanyeol and kneel in front of him looking up into his eyes as I see them full of tears waiting to fall

"And did you say goodbye?" Lay question me as I see him move to the edge of his chair beside suho

Not taking my eyes off Chanyeol "Yes I did I told him he would never come between me and my man ever again and I also told him to rot in hell, and Chanyeol I really mean it" taking Chanyeol's good hand in mine I feel my tears fall

"I'm so sorry I have been so off lately, I was shocked at what happened and also that I killed someone I am still coming to terms with that so I will need your guys help with that bit, I'm sorry I upset you over and over and how much I hurt you lastnight by saying what I did about your scars" his tears finally fall

"Sehun help chanyeol take his top off" I look at chanyeol as I see the shocked look on his face as he looks towards Sehun

"Baek why?" He asks me while wiping his tears

"I want to prove to you that I can look at you with your scars"

"Baek you don't need to prove it" Suho smiles towards me as he links Lays hand in his

"It's ok" Chanyeol unclips his sling and takes his top off with the help of Sehun

My eyes finally see the dressings on the man I love as I reach my hands out I place my hand over the wound near his heart as he closes his eyes to my touch as a tear runs down his cheeks

"From now on I will take care of your dressings and help you get dressed my little plaster buddie" making him laugh at the last comment as he opens his eyes to look at me

"Plaster buddie?" Chen questions us

"Yeah once we both cut ourselves and ended up with plasters nearly all over us so we called ourselves plaster buddies" chanyeol tells them as they laugh

"That's so cute~" luhan claps like a seal all excited

"I'm sorry I sneaked out and never told you where I was going I just didn't want to be stopped as I needed to do this for me" I hold his hand in mine

"And how do you feel now?" Chanyeol runs his fingers through my hair moving the hair from my eyes

"I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can finally breath" I smile into his eyes as my tears start to fall

"Don't cry baby" he kisses my cheek

"Stand up chanyeol please" I stand up and hold out my arm as Sehun helps me pull him up

Standing in front of him I move closer, slowly I place a kiss on his chest just above his wound as I watch him close his eyes as the tears fall.

"I love you chanyeol so much" I begin to cry

"I love you too my world" he wraps his arm around me as I gently lay my head on his naked chest

"Anyone got tissues" I hear Lay sniff making me laugh

I pull away as chanyeol looks into my eyes "There is a few options to remove the scars you know" he whispers leaning his forehead on mine as our friends look on

"No it's ok I will always remember these as not only a bad time but more a new start in my life our life together, they made us and me stronger as one and they are also to prove that nobody can ever come between us again" I finally start to sobb as I hug him again kissing his chest

"Then I will be proud to wear them for you my world" Chanyeol leans down and kisses my lips softly

"Ok I can't take this much more" Luhan starts to crawl across the floor to sit beside sehun and snuggle into him crying

"You made them all cry" Chanyeol sniffs as I look at the others

"Come here you lot let's have a big family hug" I smile towards them as they all stand up as we reach arms around making sure not to hurt chanyeol

"We are one and we always will be" Chen shouts out making us all say it together

"We are one"
