Heena told me her period had stopped. She wasn't too concerned since her cycles were usually light, and she'd been busy lately, so it slipped her mind.

As soon as I heard this, I rushed out to buy a pregnancy test.

And the result?

"You're pregnant."

"What should we do? We haven't even chosen a name for our baby yet..."

Rather than unbridled excitement, Heena seemed more concerned that we hadn't chosen a name yet. She gently caressed her stomach, which showed no visible signs of pregnancy.

I sat beside her, joining her in stroking her belly. Usually, I wasn't allowed to touch her stomach, but being pregnant seemed to have changed that rule.

"When do you think our second child came to us? If your period stopped this month, it probably wasn't during our trip."

"I wonder... Baby, when did you come to Mommy?"

"Last month. When Mommy tied Daddy up with handcuffs."

"Hey now~ But I think you might be right. You were so cute that day."

We both smiled, gazing at our second child. Though not visible yet, we knew they were there, nestled in Heena's belly.

Come to think of it, this is worrying. If we'd known about the baby, I wouldn't have been so rough earlier.

Of course, if there had been any issues, Heena would have noticed something was off. Still, you never know. We'll have to be more careful from now on.

"Heena. It's too late today, and nothing's open tomorrow, so let's go to the obstetrician on Monday. You'll need to use a lot of your vacation days later, so if you're feeling okay, we'll go right after you finish work. I'll take a half-day and meet you at your office. And you know you need to start being careful about what you eat, right?

Don't overdo it with yoga either. Also..."

"Hehe, I got it. Calm down, honey. I'll be careful."

"If there's anything you need to do, just tell me. Oh, and should I push back my work hours? I could drive you to work..."

"It's fine, really. And you know how bad traffic gets around there during rush hour. I'll be extra careful so you won't have to worry. Okay?"

For every concern I voiced, ten more sprang to mind. Heena tried to soothe my sudden anxiety.

Of course, we'd been through this before, but the circumstances were completely different now. When Heena was pregnant with Sarang, she was a student. Now, she was a working professional with a daily commute.

Back then, I could be by her side most of the time. I was retaking my college entrance exams, so I was always at home. But now, that wasn't possible.

Part of me wanted to quit my job and take care of Heena full-time, but we were about to become parents of two children. Realistically, neither of us could afford to stop working.

We couldn't rely on our parents' help forever.

So all I could do was trust Heena. I'd help with everything I could at home, of course.

"Alright. But if anything happens, call me immediately. You're the most important thing."

"I will. I promise."

After getting her reassurance once more, I dropped the subject. I'd still worry, of course, but if I kept showing it, it would only stress Heena out more.

Anyway. Yeah.

Welcome, little one.

The house became bustling with activity again. After the news of Heena's pregnancy spread through our family group chat, we were flooded with congratulatory messages.

Starting with my brother-in-law Heeseong, who called within 0.5 seconds of seeing the message, followed by our parents, my brothers, my sister-in-law, and even Rin noona. Every single one of them.

And our Sarang?

"So, my little brother or sister is in Mommy's tummy right now?"

"That's right. Sarang, would you prefer a baby brother or a sister?"

"I like both!"

"Just like Mommy~"

"Daddy too, Daddy too."

Ever since hearing about the new baby, Sarang had been pressing her ear against Heena's belly several times, trying to listen. She probably couldn't hear or feel anything yet, but it was adorable to see her so excited about her new sibling.

Unlike eight years ago, Heena was now embracing all of this with a radiant smile.

"Honey! Somang seems so healthy! Don't you think we can hear the heartbeat better than with Sarang?"

"Yeah. Judging by how active it is, I think it might be a boy!"

"Maybe you're right!"

If we didn't have an audience, she probably would have jumped for joy right there. Honestly, I felt the same way. Seeing our baby and hearing the heartbeat filled me with emotion. I felt like I might cry.

The nurse, watching us fondly, went over some precautions. Of course, this being our second pregnancy, we were familiar with most of it. We also received a new maternity handbook.

After getting confirmation and sharing the results in our family chat, we stopped by my parents' house before heading home.

"Alright. Take good care of yourself, and Yeonho, make sure you pay extra attention."

"My in-laws will have their work cut out for them again. You don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet?"

"Of course not, Dad. Mom, look at the ultrasound picture. It's only 4 weeks, so we can't tell yet. We'll have to wait another 7 weeks or so to find out."

"But somehow, I have a feeling it's a boy~ The heartbeat was so strong!"

"Is that so?"

Now that this was their third grandchild after Sarang and Jihu, my parents seemed quite composed, smiling as they listened to us.

My brothers and sister-in-law were still at work, so we couldn't see them, and Jihu had fallen asleep after dinner. We sat in the living room, chatting for a while. When Heena and Mom started getting deep into baby talk, I called Dad to the master bedroom.

"Yeonho, what is it? Do you have something to tell me?"

"Yeah. Um... you know."

I did have something to say. It was about my plans for the future, though they were still a bit down the road.

I may be a young father at 28, but I'm about to become a father of two and the head of a household. I couldn't keep living aimlessly.

As I grew older, raising my child, I found myself respecting my father more and more. I shared my vision for the future with him and sought his advice.

---Raei Translations---

After a long talk with Mom and Dad at their house, we returned home. We excitedly discussed the ultrasound pictures and the maternity handbook before going to bed.

Sarang was fast asleep, clinging to Heena's belly just like she usually clings to me. Heena held Sarang tightly, breathing softly in her sleep.

Heena must have been exhausted from all the excitement and joy today. She fell asleep almost at the same time as Sarang.

I lay on my side, watching them for a long time. It suddenly felt surreal. That I was Heena's husband, Sarang's father, and now Somang's father too.

With these mixed emotions, I got up and left the room, thinking I'd have a drink before bed.

But as I stepped out, I saw we already had company at the living room table. My father-in-law was sitting there, nursing a glass of alcohol with just one small light on.

Hearing the door open, he looked my way and raised his glass.

"Son-in-law. Care to join me for a drink?"

Author's Note

Ah, well. What does it matter if it's a side story or Part 2? We'll just keep going for now!

And I'm still thinking about the second child's name. If you have any good suggestions, please let me know! I always read the comments you leave!
