I slowly stood back up, "You know we're all in your corner." I nodded, "Don't tell anyone else yet.." He nodded, "I won't, I'll let Euna tell them when she's ready." I nodded and noticed the folder on the bed, the one I had asked her for earlier. "Try to get some sleep Hyung...it'll do you both good." I nodded once more and sat the folder on the dresser as he walked to the door, "Just yell if you need me." He left the room, I stood there and stared at Euna for a long time, What else could I do? I definitely couldn't sleep right now.
I walked towards the bed after a while and turned off the lamp, I got in the bed and laid there staring at the ceiling. In her sleep Euna rolled over and threw her arm over me, I played with her hair softly as I laid there thinking. Euna would make an amazing mom, yeah I wanted to eventually start a family with her but now? Does she even want this? Does she even want a family with me? She shuffled under me and I pulled her close to me as I closed my eyes trying to force myself to sleep.

~Euna's POV~I woke up in a cold sweat, the worst dream ever replaying over and over behind my eyes. The sun hadn't even rose yet, memories flashed through my mind from before I passed out. Hongjoong was laying next to me, I took my phone and looked at the time. It's was 4:51 am, Hongjoong groaned and moved to get off the bed. He hadn't noticed my phone since I had already turned it back off, I watched him in the dark as he walked to the bathroom.
I rolled over and hugged his pillow, I expected to hear the door close and the light turn on but instead I heard him sigh as he leaned against the counter. "Fuck.." It was a small whisper, I almost missed it, there was a small sniff and I watched him slide down to the floor where I had been previously. His head laid in his arms as he stared at the shower, I quietly got out of bed and walked towards him. He still hadn't noticed me, "Joong?"
His head popped up, "Euna?" My eyes felt puffy and it was hard to make things out in the dark, he stood up, "Watch your eyes." I closed my eyes as he turned the bathroom light on, I blinked a few times my vision still blurry. "Why are you awake?" He rested his hand on my side as he looked at me, once my vision cleared I could see see how red his eyes were. "A nightmare..I woke up right before you."
He caressed my cheek as he pulled me to his chest, "I'm so sorry.." I wrapped my arms around him tightly, "It's not your fault Joong..." I could feel how tense he was, "Euna..what do you want to do? You know I'll support you no matter what." I fisted his shirt, "I can't abort it..." He nodded against my head, "I guessed that, do you want to put it up for adoption? Or do you want to keep it?" I tried to think about it, I tried to envision how that would go, "The system is no place for a baby...but I'm so scared to have one Joong. So many things could go wrong, this thing...how do I take care of it? I didn't have a good mother.."
His arms tightened around me, "Euna you'd make an amazing mom. You don't have to be like the people that raised you. You can be someone else." I sniffled, "I don't know what I want just yet..I need to go to a doctor." He nodded, "What do you want?" He looked at me, "What do you mean?" I bit my lip, "Do you want to keep it?" He blinked a few times, "I want whatever you want. Yeah it might be harder but I believe we could do it." I took a deep breath, "You haven't slept at all have you?"
He shook his head, "No...I'm too worried about you." I turned the light off and pulled him by his hand to the bed, "We'll figure it all out tomorrow. Let's just get some rest okay?" He nodded and pulled my body against chest, his hand went over my stomach protectively making me relax. "If we keep it...what do you want it to be?" He caressed my stomach, "A girl...I want her to be like you. Strong-willed, beautiful, sweet, caring." I smiled and leaned back kissing him softly, "Joong.." He smiled and pulled me closer as our eyes closed.

I woke up and groaned, a wave of nausea washing over me as I pulled out of Hongjoong's arms and ran to the bathroom. I closed the door as everything I ate yesterday came up, "Euna?" Hongjoong pushed the door open and was next to me in seconds as he held my hair back. I groaned once I felt like I had thrown up my organs and flushed the toilet as I stood up rinsing my mouth out and grabbing my toothbrush to brush my teeth. "Are you okay?"
I nodded as I brushed my teeth, my head was pounding. He rubbed my back while I finished, "My head hurts.." He nodded and led me back to the bed, "There was a knock at the door, "Come in." I sat on the bed as San walked in, "Hey Euna..how do you feel?" I groaned, "I just threw up so not to good." He gave me a sad smile, "Mom was the same way with you." I looked up at him, "She was?" He nodded as he sat next to me, "She was terrified to have you because of our father. She didn't want you near him."
I looked down as he rubbed my shoulders, "I'm happy she kept you though, now you're by my side." I smiled at him, "Yeah. I guess there is a few pros to that." He laughed, "So..do you want me to make you a doctors appointment?" I nodded, "I don't know if I'm keeping it yet or not.." He nodded this time, "You know we're right here for you. No matter what you decide." The bathroom door closed and I looked to find Hongjoong missing, probably getting dressed.
"Want to try to eat?" I shook my head, "I don't want to throw up again." He smiled, "You still have to eat Euna. The morning sickness should be gone soon." I sighed, "I'll eat a little..not much." He nodded, "Good enough for me." He stood up and pulled me out and down the stairs, "Have you.." He shook his head, "No." I nodded as we walked downstairs, "Euna!" I smiled at Seonghwa, "Hi Hwa." He hugged me and kissed my head, "Breakfast is ready I have a mission." I nodded, "Good luck!" He smiled and headed out the front doors.
"Here's your plate." San handed me an already made plate, "Thank you." He smiled, "Just eat what you can." I nodded and sat down at the table, I slowly picked at the food, eating the eggs and two strips of bacon. San sat in front of me as Hongjoong came down the stairs, "Euna I called the nearest doctor, they can take you later today if that's okay with you?" He was still holding the phone to his ear, I slowly nodded and he walked to the fridge, "Yes that time works for us. Great see you then." He hung the phone up and walked over to me.
He kissed his head, "How are you feeling." I smiled at him, "Tired. Can I get headache medicine." He nodded and walked to the cabinet grabbing a bottle before filling a cup up with water. "Here you go baby." He gave me the medicine and water, "The appointment is at 2:00 so when you're done eating get ready." I nodded as he sat down with a plate, "Do you want me to go with you?" I smiled at San and shook my head. "It's okay, I'll be fine." He nodded and finished his plate, I picked at my food as Hongjoong rubbed my thigh to try and calm my nerves.
