"Dadadadada," Aurora cries, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she sobs and walks towards her mother at the day care.

"I know you miss daddy baby girl," Seonghwa pouts, sighing, "I miss him too."

"He should be back any day now," Wooyoung comments, picking up the little girl and holding her, she immediately lays her head on his shoulder and sniffles, "Yeosang is getting antsy too."

"It usually doesn't take this long," Seonghwa sighs, "He better not be gone for almost a month again."

"I don't think he will hyung," Wooyoung says softly, swaying side to side and rubbing Aurora's back. The little girl was fighting her nap as usual, she's very stubborn and persistent like her mommy, but finally she was starting to wind down and accept sleep. Wooyoung chuckles, "Just think, we have Yeosang's baby, your baby, a toddler-"

"We're going to have our hands full," Seonghwa giggles, brushing some blonde curls out of Aurora's face. She was sleeping peacefully now, her little hands clench and unclench in her sleep and little smiles form on her tiny lips as she slept.

"Surely not," Wooyoung giggles, "who do you think Aurora's brother will take after?"

Seonghwa snorts, "We don't know if the baby is he or she."

"I'm saying boy," Wooyoung giggles, "and Yeosang's I'm going to say a baby boy as well."

Seonghwa chuckles, frowning when he just now noticed the dark circles under Wooyoung's eyes and gently brushes his thumb under one, "Oh Youngie.... are they bad still?"

Wooyoung sighs, nodding, "I don't know what to do anymore. We burn the herbs Yunho's mother tells us to, and I drink that sleeping liquid she made for me, and it's still not keeping the nightmares away. They're just not as intense..."

Seonghwa frowns, "I hope here soon they will go away."

Wooyoung nods, and was about to say something when he freezes. They hear the horn blaring in the distance. Both of their eyes widen and Seonghwa rushes out of the tent when he hears the second blow. Wooyoung smiles, shaking his head and tending to the children with the other mothers while Seonghwa rushes to the dock to greet his lover.

He doesn't stop running until he sees Hongjoong and the captain looks for him as soon as he jumps on to the dock. Seonghwa jumps in his arms, Hongjoong catches him and spins them around, burying his face in Seonghwa's neck. Seonghwa pulls away to liter his face and chin with kisses before connecting their lips.

"Hongjoong! I need your help!" Irys shouts from the ship, and Hongjoong pulls away.

Seonghwa frowns and Hongjoong pulls Seonghwa with him, "It's San."

Seonghwa's eyes widen and he rushes on the ship with Hongjoong, Irys was carrying San with his arm around her shoulders. Seonghwa took one look at him and knew something wasn't right. He was sweating, shaking, and he looked impossibly pale for San. Seonghwa helps carry him off the ship with Irys, and she shushes San when he groans at the sudden movements, "Easy San, we're back on the island that should chase this away."

"What happened?!" Seonghwa asks, the feel of San's feverish body against his made him worry for the younger.

"We stopped at the ocean city to restock supplies and he started running fever and passing out," Irys rushed, "I've done everything Seonghwa and this isn't helping the illness at all. I thought bringing him back to Utopia would help..."

"You did well Irys," Seonghwa comforts her, "Let's get him into the medical tent, I'll see what I can do."

She nods, her and a few other crew members hoist the boy on a small piece of ply wood and wrapped him in a blanket to sweat out his fever. Seonghwa catches sight of the pink hair belonging to Yeosang and his heart races, seeing Yeosang watching with fear in his eyes as they carried San to the shore.

"Sannie!!" Yeosang sobs, rushing over to them, Seonghwa is quick to catch him in case he falls.

"He is really sick right now Sangie, and we can't risk getting you sick either," Seonghwa whispers, holding his friend as Yeosang reaches for him.

"What happened to him?!" He cries out, "Please save him!!"

"I'm going to," Seonghwa promises his friend, kissing his forehead, "You need to calm down though, for the baby's sake."

Yeosang nods, feeling an arm around his waist and turning to see Yunho. The taller nods at Seonghwa, "I'll go grab my mother, me and Wooyoung will be there shortly as well to help."

"I need to see him please," Yeosang pleads to Seonghwa, sobbing, "Please Hwa I need to!"

"Let's confirm if he is contagious or not, and then you can see him alright?" Seonghwa promises Yeosang, kissing his cheek and looking at Yunho, "He can sit outside the tent, but until we can confirm San isn't contagious he needs to stay out."

Yunho nods, leading Yeosang to the trees and on the path to the medical tent. Seonghwa lets out a deep breath, rubbing a hand on his tired face before someone knocks into him. He makes a noise of surprise, turning to the person, "I'm terribly sorry-" he stops when he realizes who he is talking to and he gasps, stepping back.

The man before him smirks, tilting his chin up, "I knew it was yer the moment I laid eyes on yer blonde locks," he chuckles, reaching forward to brush his thumb against Seonghwa's scar running from his eyebrow to his cheekbone, "And yer still have me mark. Now I'm know it's really yer."

Seonghwa swallows, stepping back shakily before turning and running back to the day care tent. The man smirks as he watches Seonghwa disappear in the trees, knowing he will see the blonde again soon. Seonghwa races to the day care, rushing in and seeing Wooyoung holding Aurora still, "Youngie, I need you to watch her and take charge."

"Okay? Are you-"

"No, San is sick and I'm-" Seonghwa tries not to panic but it's really hard when everything is hitting him at once right now. He bites his lip, holding up his shaking hands, "Just please, watch her." He turns and runs back to the medical tent, once in there he sees everyone crowding around San and the poor boy groans in pain as everyone touches him with hands like ice.

"I'm gonna puke," San mumbly warns, leaning over the bed and puking right into the bucket Yunho prepared for him.

Yunho's mother shakes her head as she studied San's condition, "I've never seen anything like this."

Seonghwa's heart was still racing and he tried not to think about the old pirate who took him from his slavery master, and hurt him. His thoughts immediately go to Aurora and he can't even think straight as he knocks over a bowl of water. He bends to clean it up and Yunho beats him to it, smiling at the older, "Why don't you go home and rest hyung? You can't be here either and risk getting ill."

Seonghwa hesitated but nodded, turning to leave the medical tent and becoming antsy as he walks home. He was on high alert, always looking around and being careful where he walked until he got home. He hurries inside and locks the door behind him, sitting on the floor in front of it and everything crashes down on him.

He sobs, burying his head in his knees as he fears for not only himself, but his unborn child and Aurora as well.
