“Take care of yourself okay?” You kissed your husband and he bent down to look at your son.
“Jaewon, take good care
of umma for me okay?” Siwon ruffled his hair and stood up. “You, take
care. Make sure our baby’s healthy so I can be there when she’s born
okay?”
You smiled. “You have
two weeks to get back then.” He kissed you again and walked out,
carrying his two suitcases with him. You watched him go with a slight
sadness. Siwon was always leaving to places and you knew it wasn’t his
fault. He was always busy and you were proud that he was so popular. In
this case, he was filming in Taiwan for a drama.
It bothered you
slightly that even though you two had started a family he was still a
bit reluctant to end his activities for a hiatus. You hugged your son to
you and you both waved good bye to Siwon as he got into the waiting
van.
You waddled back into
the house and rubbed your stomach. You were expecting your second child
and you both secretly hoped it was a daughter. You had a name planned
and wanted to call her Eunwon because she would be the baby jewel of
your hearts.
A few days passed and
you and Siwon had contacted back and forth. He was having fun shooting
his drama and you were proud that he always found time to call. But one
night, you woke up with severe cramping. You knew from experience that
the baby was going to be slightly earlier than expected and that your
contractions have started.
You decided to call
Siwon. His phone rang and rang and you waited, trying to fight off the
growing pains that were forming. For the first time in days, it went
straight to voicemail and you wanted to scream with frustration. You
called again and again, each time hearing, Anyeonghaseyo. You have
reached Super Junior’s Choi Siwon. I’m not here at the moment but leave a
message and I will get back to you.
You tossed the phone
aside and walked up slowly to get your overnight bag. A piece of paper
caught your eye and you knew who to call. His sister, Jinwon, had told
you to contact her in case of an emergency. And this was definitely an
emergency.
“Yoboseyeo?”Her soft voice came over thephone.
“Jinwon? It’s me. Siwon’s not picking up and I need to go to the hospital.”
“Stay right there. Is
Jaewon asleep? I’ll bring him to my parents later after I drop you off.”
She worked quickly and efficiently and was soon ushering you into the
maternity ward.
You were told to wait
on the bed and a doctor came by to check how far along you were. “Well,
Mrs. Choi, I want to tell you that your water hasn’t broken yet. How
about we take a walk around and see if you can get that baby
moving?”
You walked out to the
waiting room where Jinwon was humming Jaewon to sleep. Your son wanted
to stay and had refused to go to his grandparents’ house. “Give me the phone, unni. I want to try him again.”
You held the phone
close to your ear and waited. The long ringing was ominous and each one
seemed long and drawn out, much longer than the last. You groaned into
the phone when the voice message appeared and you felt something trickle
down your legs.
“Great, now my water breaks. He’s really not picking up.”
Jinwon’s eyebrows
furrowed and she took you back inside. The nurses began to swarm around
you and you clutched the sheets. “How much longer?”
The nurse peeked
between your legs and said, “You’re four centimeters dear. You still
have a bit to go. Just take your time and relax okay? You’ll get there. I
need to fill out your profile. Do you have any other children?”
“Yeah, a son. He’s turning two in a month.”
The nurse continued to ask questions until you heaved and she dropped her papers. “I’ll get the doctor.”
As the doctor ordered
you to push, you still wondered just where Siwon was. The pain was
overwhelming and you had to be content with just holding a pillow to
squeeze away the pain. Sometime in the middle of your haze, you heard a
flurry of movement and suddenly a presence was next to you.
You grabbed the strong,
warm hand being offered to you and didn’t bother to think. You pushed
and sighed when you heard the strong cry of a healthy newborn. Your eyes
shut and you collapsed against the pillow.
When you opened your
eyes again, you saw Siwon staring at you. “Baby, I’m so sorry. I came
the moment I heard. We were stuck in a typhoon and my phone was back on
set. But you did so well. I’m proud of you.”
“Is it a girl?”
He beamed. “Yes! We have a baby Eunwon. She’s waiting to meet her mommy. I’ll bring her in.”
Before he walked out, you grabbed his sleeve and smiled. “Did I hurt your hand?”
He chuckled and showed
you the red grip marks you had made but leaned down and kissed you.
“Doesn’t matter. It was all worth it.”
because I always imagine myself have two kids with Siwon.hjkshdgbdfhtdwkdu hahahahahaha!slapped my face.
