Married For Now-Chapter 222: CHILDBIRTH

"TO BE honest, I didn’t expect you’d last in this job this long," Kim Heedo said while having lunch with Yang Jaewon in their office’s pantry. "I thought you’d quit within a week. But it’s been months now, and you’ve never slacked off, whether Yeonwoo Sunbae-nim is around or not."

"Don’t underestimate me, Kim Heedo," Yang Jaewon said smugly. "This is what the power of love could do to a person."

Aigoo.

Heedo was still working at the moving company even after everything that had happened with the owner’s son.

Thankfully, the company owner is smart— he doesn’t let his son show his face here.

Hence, Jang Yeonwoo was going to work without a problem.

But, even if the owner’s son comes here to bother Yeonwoo Sunbae-nim, Yang Jaewon is here to protect Yeonwoo Sunbae-nim.

Yep, Yang Jaewon started working part-time for that moving company, too.

But since Yang Jaewon was also attending university, he could only come to the company three times a week.

That was actually the same for Heedo.

I’m still on a leave of absence from school, but I’m already taking my successor training.

His parents hired the tutors that trained his father as well before.

"You’re really serious about Yeonwoo Sunbae-nim, huh?" Heedo teased his friend. "Where is the guy that said he’d marry for convenience and not for love because he can’t live without the luxury his parents have been providing for him?"

"That guy is long dead, my friend," Yang Jaewon said in a serious tone. "I can still live comfortably without my parents’ support as long as I work hard."

Haaah.

The reason why Yang Jaewon and Jang Yeonwoo couldn’t date officially yet was because of Yang Jaewon’s family.

They can’t accept Jang Yeonwoo who has a humble background for their youngest son.

"Fighting, Jaewon-ah."

"Thanks, Heedo-ya. I need that," Yang Jaewon said, and then he smiled before changing the topic. "Why are you still working here, Heedo-ya? You’re already receiving your successor training. Is that not enough to keep you busy?"

Ahem.

Actually, it wasn’t enough.

Heedo remembered the night he spent with Park Sohee after the gender reveal party.

He almot lost control because it had been a while since he made love with his husband. Hence, to stop himself from accidentally harming Park Sohee and their babies, he shot himself with an Anti-Alpha Pen.

The same thing also happened recently.

Heedo’s rut came after Park Sohee’s baby shower party, after all.

I really need to keep myself busy.

Hence, he decided to continue working at the moving company.

But not for long.

"I’m quitting next week. I’ve already informed the boss," Heedo said. "Sohee Hyung’s due date is in two weeks, so I want to be by his side as much as possible during that time."

"Oh, right," Yang Jaewon said, grinning. "My nephews are going to be born soon."

"Yep, and I can’t wait to meet my babies. Sohee Hyung is the most excited..."

Heedo trailed off when his phone rang.

He excused himself before answering his husband’s call.

"Yes, Hyung?"

"H-Heedo-ya."

Oh.

Heedo got worried when he heard Park Sohee take a deep breath as if he were in pain. "Hyung! What’s wrong? Are you in pain?! I’ll come home right away!"

"Hurry up, Heedo-ya— I think it’s time..."

Heedo gasped and let out a soft gasp. "You’re in labor, Hyung?"

Even Yang Jaewon gasped after hearing what he said.

The babies are coming out two weeks earlier than their due date?

Heedo should have quit work last week!

"I’m coming home, Hyung. Don’t hang up."

"Heedo-ya, it will take you at least half an hour to reach home even if you drive fast," Yang Jaewon said in a stern but calm manner. "Call the household staff ahjummas and Kang Sul-ssi. They’re staying in the unit next to your apartment, aren’t they?"

Oh, right.

Since Park Sohee was heavily pregnant now, the household staff members who would only come twice a week became stay-in helpers.

Heedo owned all the units on the floor where they apartment was.

Hence, he let the staff and the security team use the other units.

"It will be more efficient if they bring Sohee Hyung to the hospital," Yang Jaewon said. "Then I’ll drive you to the hospital, Heedo-ya. You can’t drive when you’re in that state."

Ah, that made sense.

"Jaewon-ah is right, Heedo-ya."

Oh, it seemed like Park Sohee heard everything.

"Ahjumma and Kang Sul-ssi are already here..."

"Wait a moment, Heedo-ya," Yang Jaewon said while he was heading towards the door urgently. "I’ll tell the boss we have an emergency so we’ll be leaving early."

"Jaewon-ah, thank you," Heedo said sincerely. When his friend just nodded, he continued talking to Park Sohee. "Hyung, don’t hang up— let’s talk until we meet in the hospital."

***

IT HURTS...

Sohee was painfully aware that pregnancy and childbirth were twice worse for a male Omega than women had it.

However, he didn’t expect it to be this painful.

He could only shut his eyes tightly and groan while on the stretcher.

I’m not going to die, am I?

"Sohee-ya, hang in there— Heedo is almost here."

It was his mother-in-law.

When he arrived in the hospital with the household staff ahjumma and Kang Sul, President Kang Nari was already there.

I’m really grateful that my mother-in-law is here for me at this crucial moment.

"Sohee Hyung!"

Oh, finally.

Sohee opened his eyes and was relieved to see Kim Heedo.

The people pulling the stretcher also stopped.

Well, more like they were forced to stop because his husband grabbed the stretcher’s handles.

And Hyper-Dominant Alphas are ridiculously strong.

"Hyung, I’m here."

Sohee nodded, smiling weakly at his husband. "Wait for me, Heedo-ya. I’ll return with our babies later."

"Stay strong, Hyung," Kim Heedo said in a cracked voice, tears swelling in his eyes. "Please, please come back to me safely..."

***

"SIR, we would just like to confirm if the contract that you signed last month is still the choice you’d take in case Park Sohee-ssi’s childbirth goes wrong."

Kim Heedo was annoyed that a hospital staff member had to talk to him about that while he was in front of the Labor and Delivery Unit— waiting for Park Sohee, who was currently in the middle of giving birth to their twins.

He was nervous, scared, and out of his wits.

Having said that, he held in his temper.

He had no one who could talk to the staff since he was alone at the moment.

His mother stepped out to make several calls while Yang Jaewon left to buy food for him.

Hence, Heedo had to deal with that on his own.

And this is a part of the process when your husband is a male Omega.

"Sir, our doctors will do everything they can to save both your husband and your children," the staff said carefully. "But, just in case..."

"Yes, I still choose the same option when I signed the contract last month," Heedo said in a tired but firm voice, cutting off the staff from his explanation that he had already heard before. "I’m choosing my husband over my babies, in case you can only save one."
