"Ah.."

Everyone's head turned towards Hae Ra when she gasped softly. The whole family was in the living room watching an animated movie. They had their eyes widened thinking that her water broke. Mark's hold around her shoulder tightened in a protective manner.

"What happened?" Mrs. Lee asked worriedly.

Hae Ra looked around to see them anticipating for her reply. "I..um.." they all nodded for her to continue and only she knew how much embarrassment she felt at the moment.

"My back is itchy."

She closed her eyes and looked down to hide her flushed face. Everyone laughed it off and turned their heads to look at the television screen.

A smile formed on her lips feeling Mark's hand go down from her shoulder to her lower back gently scratching it. She looked up to see him already looking at her. "Since when did you become this adorable?" He gently tapped her nose making her blush.

"God.." he whispered lowly making her bite her lip, "I really can't wait for your trembling body below me."

Before she could even think of pushing him away, loud thundering noises interrupted them. The twins got scared and hugged their grandparents for comfort. Mr Lee pat their shoulders tell them that it will be okay.

"I think we should leave now. There might be a lot of traffic if it rains." Taeyong stood up and adjusted his pants. The older couple followed him to the gate where their bags were kept.

Mr and Mrs. Lee had to attend a wedding in Incheon. They pat Hae Ra on the back. "We will be back soon. Take care of yourself." The woman smiled.

Mrs. Lee leaned forward to her belly to talk to the baby, "wait for us baby. And don't trouble your mother." She chuckled at the end and gave each of her daughters in law a kiss on the cheek before finally leaving for the car.

"Be safe and enjoy a lot!" Meera waved them a big bye while standing near the gates with her kids by her side.

"Appa!" Taeyong immediately stopped the car hearing Sanam's loud voice calling for him. He rolled down the windows to look at him.

"Bring me a Nutella jar on your way bac- Ow!" He couldn't finish his sentence when Mark lightly hit the back of his head. "Uncle!" The boy whined and then turned to look at his father for help but Taeyong just shook his head and huffed an irritated sigh before driving away.

"Mumma..." the boy then looked at his mother for some support but she also shook her head and went inside.

"Hae Ra? Do you need something?" Meera asked her. "Not much. You can prepare the dinner."

"Okay then."

Taej then got an idea. He casually walked towards Hae Ra and cupped her ears with his small hands to tell her his plan. After telling her his idea he joined his hands to beg. 'Please' he mouthed.

Hae Ra couldn't help but nod. The kids weren't asking for much. Just one Nutella jar.

"Mark.." She called for him while he was passing by the living room. He immediately came to her worried is something happened to her.

"Yes? Are you in pain?!"

She smiled at his concern. "No. I just wanted to eat something sweet."

"We have ice creams. Which one do you want?" He held her hand as his thumbs caressed her knuckles in a loving manner.

"Not ice cream.. I wanted Nutella?" Mark sighed and turned around to see the boys hiding behind the sofa. But Hae Ra held his hand and nudged him a little to get it. It won't hurt anyone. In the end he ended to agreeing.

"Thank you. It might rain soon. Take an umbrella." He leaned in and kissed her cheek. "Take care of yourself."

It was as raining cats and dogs outside. Mark left with a big umbrella and then the kids sat next to the pregnant woman to express their gratitude.

"Thank you so much! Can we get you anything? Water? Biscuits? Cookies?"

"Do you want to see TV? Should we get appa's laptop?"

Hae Ra ruffled their hair. "No need. Just stay next to me." She really liked the kids. She was really scared to be a parent but seeing the boys always gave her a sort of happiness and courage to have her own kids.

They stayed like that for some time watching an animated movie till she felt odd. Her hand immediately went to her stomach feeling a contraction.

"Aunty! You're peeing!"

Her water broke.

"Call your mother! Fast!" Sanam ran to the kitchen and called Meera.

"What happened?!" Meera outside and realised that the woman's water broke. She immediately picked up her phone to call Mark but a worried sigh left their lips when they heard the ringtone. He left his phone.

"I'll call Taeyong!"

'The number you're calling is currently unavailable please try again later'

She tried calling the emergency number but because of the heavy rains it couldn't be connected. Meera held her hair in panic. The kids were worried while Hae Ra was in pain. She had to do something.

"Meera.." She took a deep breath, "you have to drive."

Hearing the word drive brought chills down her spine. It was before college when she started to learn to drive but then she almost ran over two people. Since then she hasn't tried. There was always a fear in her heart.

"Hae Ra .. I.."

"Meera! Get yourself together! You can do this!"

"Wait. Sanam! Go to Mrs. Choi! Call her!" The boy nodded and ran outside to go their neighbor but no one was at home. He then went to another neighbor but only a old man was present in the house.

Hae Ra was looking through some apps to see if a car was available. They would either take a lot of time to reach or were not available.

"Mumma! There is no one!" Sanam shouted while running inside the house, all drenched in rain.

"Meera! Just get the keys! It hurts.. please..."

Meera took deep breaths before her trembling hands held the car keys. She held Hae Ra and helped her sit in the backseat. She then ran inside to the kids.

"Keeping calling your father and tell him about what happened! And. Do not go outside!" She hurriedly informed them and ran back to the car. She shakily held the steering wheel remembering the things she learned.

She stepped on the accelerator and the car jerked forward abruptly. "Sorry!" She said to Hae Ra. Taking another deep breath she started the car and slowly drove to the main road.

It was dark and raining heavily. Hae Ra kept groaning in pain while Meera was close to crying. She was fumbling with a few buttons seeing which one were indicators or wipers. Her mind was a mess as she tried to look at the road ahead.

"Do you want to die?!" She heard a man yell when she almost collided with his car. His black coloured car was not at all visible to her.

"I'm s-scared..." she whispered to herself.

"Meera..f-faster..." Hae Ra pleaded in a breathy manner. She could feel herself losing consciousness. Her hand gripped the small plushie kept in the car as her cries were muffled.

"H-hang on." Meera saw the hospital sign and increased the speed. She collided with the side wall of the hospital and turned off the engine. She hastily got out of the car.

"Please help! There is a pregnant woman in the car!!"

The guards called some people and they soon came with a stretcher. Hae Ra had fainted. She was taken to the required room. Meera held her throbbing head and slowly fell on the ground. People nearby rushed her to the inside.

The twins told Mark when he came back with Nutella. He immediately rushed outside and used the old man's car. He ran to the hallways of the hospital and asked a random nurse at the reception.

"She is in room 223 and the woman who was with her is in room 227."

What happened to Meera?

He shook his head and first went towards room 223. He saw a nurse coming out that room. "Is Hae Ra inside?! How is she?!"

"Are you the father?" She asked calmly. He frantically nodded. "Yes!" She then gave him the hospital gown to wear and led him inside. His heart twisted seeing the love of his life crying and screaming because of the pain.

A nurse slapped her to keep her awake.

"Hey.. Hae Ra.. it's me. I'm here.." he stood at one side and looked into her sleepy eyes. She was tired and hurting. Her hair was a mess and she was sweating hard.

"M-Mark?"

"Yes. Baby please push." He searched for her hand and intertwined their fingers. He wanted to give her as much support as he can. His other hand gently stroked her hair hoping it could comfort her.

"It h-hurts." Tears slipped down her cheeks as she shook her head. Her hand squeezing his to let him know the pain she was going through.

"Miss. You have to push for your baby! It's almost there. Push more! Encourage her." The doctor told Mark.

"Baby. The doctor said that you're close. Keep pushing."

The doctor did a small countdown as another scream left her lips. "One more! One.. two .. three!"

Another heart wrenching scream. By this time Mark was crying as well. That time he remembered how Taeyong was crying when he came out of the room. Now he understood the pain Taeyong went through that day.

It was difficult for Hae Ra but it was equally difficult for Mark.

"One.. two.. three!"

"Good Hae Ra! I can see the baby's head! Come on! One more push!

"One more push!"

A scream and a cry were heard simultaneously. Hae Ra lied on the bed as she ended up crying. Mark gently squeezed her hand and smiled at her.

They were hearing their first baby's first cry. It was a magical moment for them.

The doctor happily passed the baby to Mark.

"A girl."

He brought the baby close to Hae Ra's face so that she could see her as well.

"Hae Ra look.. our baby girl. She is beautiful."

Hae Ra smiled tiredly seeing the pink flesh in Mark's arms. Her two favourite people together.

"I love you.." She whispered before losing her consciousness. Mark worriedly looked at the doctor.

"She is just tired. We will monitor her health and let you know when you can see her. And as for the baby.." the doctor took the baby from his arms, "we will check the baby thoroughly for her medical examination."

Mark then walked out the room and sat on the bench outside after changing his clothes. His snapped up remembering about Meera. He tried to recall her room number and went to look for her.

He knocked on the door and looked at her lifelessly sitting on the bed.

"Noona?" She slowly turned to her side. "Mark! How's Hae Ra?!"

Meera still looked pale. Mark went to sit on the stool next to her bed.

"It's a girl. And they both are healthy. Hae Ra is resting now."

Meera sighed in relief. "I was so worried. Thank god. Everything worked out well."

"Why are you here?"

She seemed to be thinking for a moment. "I drove her and because of all the panic I fainted. It is nothing much."

Mark knew about the incident. He went to her and hugged her. It was a warm hug.

"Thank you so much noona. If not for you then.." his voice cracked as some more tears rolled down his cheeks. He sobbed loudly and tightened his hug around her.

Meera gently rubbed his back. "Aye. It's nothing like that. I'm so happy for both of you! You guys are parents now. And let me tell you. It's not easy." She tried to lighten up the mood.

"Thankyou." He said one more time before giving her some privacy to rest. He went out to fulfill formalities; and called his parents and then her parents.

Taeyong rushed inside the hospital. The kids managed to contact him and informed him about the whole situation. He bumped into a few people and finally reached the reception.

"Excuse me! One pregnant lady was brought here three hours back. Do you know where she is?"

"Let me check, Sir." The nurse checked and confirmed the details.

"Miss Hae Ra?"

"Yes!"

"She is in room 223." Taeyong nodded and looked for the room. His phone rang halting his steps. Mark.

"Hyung.. wait up. I can see you." He turned around to look for his brother. He then saw Mark coming towards him.

"How is she?"

"Hae Ra is resting now. I'm a father now." Mark became emotional and Taeyong hugged him. He took a deep breath knowing that his friend was okay.

"The baby.. she is so beautiful.."

"I know how it feels.." Taeyong pat his back. Mark then pulled away and wiped his tears.

"Hyung.. Noona.."

It was then he realised that his wife was no where to be seen. "Where is she?"

"In room 227."

"What happened to her?" Taeyong grew restless at the mention of a room.

"She fainted. But she is okay now. You can meet her." He nodded and went to the room. He knocked and slowly opened the door to see his wife crying. He immediately went to her.

"It's okay.. you did great. I'm proud of you." Meera wiped her tears. They hugged each other for some time.

"Are the twins alone?" Meera asked worriedly.

"I sent Jisung over there. They will be okay. Just worry about yourself." He smiled at her and cheered her up.

"Taeyong.. I want to tell you something.." She said softly. Her voice was laced with concern. Taeyong cupped her cheeks. "Yes. What is it?"

"I.." tears slipped down her cheeks as her eyes turned red at the burning sensation. She ended to bawling her eyes out and it scared Taeyong. He wanted to know what happened.

"Meera.. tell me.. did something happen?" His hands went to her shoulders to steady her. She nodded and bit her lips to stop herself from crying more.

"Babe please. Tell me.."

"I had a miscarriage."
