The 9th month.✨

As Jungkook stepped into his ninth month, that warmth became heavier. Physically, emotionally... and comically.

His belly was a national monument now.

"Kim Jungkook, if you don't stop waddling like a penguin,I swear-" Aiden scolded half-heartedly, gently adjusting Jungkook's cushions on the sofa.

"I can't help it!" Jungkook whined. "There are two actual humans karate-chopping my insides!"

From the side, Yoongi snorted into his coffee, seated beside his mom Mrs. Min, who smiled fondly. "You were just like this as a baby" she said. "Loud, dramatic, and always kicking."

"Gee, thanks, Auntie" Jungkook muttered, then grunted as a twin elbowed him. "I swear this one is plotting something."

Mr. Min, seated near the fireplace with a newspaper, chuckled. "Plotting your downfall from within. Sounds like a Jeon alright."

"I heard that!" Mr. Jeon called from the kitchen(he had too😂), where he and Mrs. Jeon were slicing fruit. "They got their stubborn streak from you."

"I was a delight" Mrs. Jeon huffed proudly. "And Jungkook's exactly like me."

"Exactly" Tae's voice crackled through the Jeon Mansion's speaker, he was on video call from a business trip. "That's why he's so beautiful."

Jungkook rolled his eyes fondly, cheeks puffed. "You better be on your way home, Kim Taehyung."

Taehyung smiled from the screen, eyes softening. "One more night, baby. Just making sure the nursery carpet matches the curtains."

"Again?" Aiden blinked. "That's the third time-!"

"It's for my babies" Tae replied dramatically. "Only the best. You wouldn't understand."

"Lord help us" Jimin muttered, flopping on the floor beside Hobi, who was currently massaging Jungkook's swollen feet. "We've entered peak husband mode."

"I think he hit that in the second trimester" Yoongi said with a smile.

---------
Namjoon and Jin arrived just before Jungkook's weekly checkup.

"Kookie" Jin cooed, sweeping in like a spring breeze. "You look radiant. My daughter-in-law is glowing!" =_=

"I'm sweating" Jungkook deadpanned.

Namjoon chuckled and placed a gentle hand on Jungkook's shoulder. "Lets get through the checkup. Then we'll worry about radiance."

Dr. Aradhya smiled as the ultrasound began. The room fell silent the sound of two strong, rhythmic heartbeats echoing like music. Jungkook's eyes glistened.

"They're healthy" she said warmly. "Both head arevdown. Ready any time now."

"Head-down!" Jin blinked. "So... They're already preparing for entry?"

"Like soldiers" Yoongi muttered, arms crossed.

Taehyung, watching through video call, whispered, "Good, Appa's proud of you both."

Jungkook whispered, "They heard you again. They just kicked."

--------
After the appointment, the house became a hive of loving chaos.

Jin insisted on reorganizing the baby drawers.

Mrs. Jeon folded onesies while gossiping softly with Mrs. Min over tea.

Namjoon helped Mr. Jeon install a baby monitor system "fit for NASA."

Yoongi napped in the nursery rocker........ again.🙂

Aiden practiced swaddling with a teddy bear. "I'm ready to be a godparent."

"You're not even on the list yet" Jungkook mumbled from the couch, belly rising like a mountain.

"But why? I'm stylish and responsible!"

"You fed my Bam Bam chocolate last year"Jungkook deadpaned.

Aiden winced."It was an accident."

---------

That evening, Jungkook curled in bed tired

Taehyung finally arrived dropping(throwing) his bags and running up the stairs to scoop his wife into his arms.

"Missed you" Tae whispered, burying his nose in Jungkook's hair.

"Missed you more" Jungkook mumbled, lip trembling. "Tae, I'm scared."

Taehyung held him tighter. "Of what, baby?"

"I just... I want to do this right. What if I'm not enough?"

"You are enough" Tae whispered. "You're more than enough. You're their entire world. You're my world."

Jungkook's tears slipped free. "They're going to be here soon..."

Tae smiled, brushing the tears away. "And we'll be here. All of us. To welcome them."

It was raining outside, the wind gentle. Inside, the Jeon Mansion was warm and filled with laughter.

Jungkook sat wrapped in a thick soft blanket, a mug of warm milk in hand, belly rising proudly.

The twins were active bumps fluttering beneath his skin.

Around him were his people Yoongi humming lullabies, Hobi joking with Jimin, Aunt Min knitting tiny hats, Mrs. Jeon whispering baby stories, Namjoon polishing baby bottles, Jin fussing over diapers, Mr. Min reciting old Jeon-Min-kim parenting advice...

And Taehyung, kneeling at his feet, one hand on his belly, the other cupping his cheek.

"They're coming soon" Jungkook whispered.

Tae nodded. "Let them come. They're coming into love.'

And in that room, filled with warmth, mismatched slippers, lullabies, and mango slices two little souls kicked gently.

Excited.

Ready.

So very loved.
