Jaejoong's pov
"Omma, about appa..."
Taking a deep breath, "I haven't seen appa for a few weeks." I muttered to her as I lowered my head to look at the white
blankets covering her growing belly. I felt her touch my hand, lifting my head, I see the questions in her eyes. "Why have you
not seen him? Has he left for Europe again?"
I looked up as Yunho moved to the other side of the bed, our eyes meeting. What should I tell her? How can I say that the man
she loved gave up her son? Yunho must have been reading my mind, from the nodd of his head, he seemed to be telling me to
tell her everything." Saehe noticed her sons silence and looked over to Yunho, then back to her son, "Whats going on here?"
Keeping my voice low, "Appa signed papers giving me up for adoption to the Jungs." I slowly raised my head, to see her
startled face, which slowly turned to disbeilef. "WHAT! What did you just say!" Mrs Kim, raised herself up to her elbows,
only to fall back on the bed,and then glancing over at Yunho, to confirm what I said.
Saehe's pov
I felt my body start shaking at my sons words. I couldn't wrap my mind around what he said. Why would my husband just give up
our son. I see Jae's sad face and wondered how he was able to cope with the news of my death and then being given up. The
more it sunk in the angier I got. I tried lifting myself up, only to flop back on the bed. My body was drained and I had no
strenght. And that made me even more mad. "That bastard! When I see him, he's going to wish I had died in that crash!" I
fummed as I glared at the ceiling.
"Jaejoong, is he still in Korea?" Jae was looking at Yunho as I asked the question, and I noticed for the first time the
unspoken support that Yunho was giving him. Now, I knew how he got through it all. For a moment, I allowed myself to be happy
for my sons sake. But for me, just knowing that he gave him up was enough for me to not to see him right now. I heard his
whispered "Yes."
Jae cleared his throat and I glanced at him, "It's only temporary, mom. He just needed time to get over your death. I guess
to grive over you properly." I sighned deeply, "That is still no reason to just give up the one thing that linked us
together. You are a manifestation of our love. A real live evidence of how much we loved each other. I'm not going to be able
to forgive him for this. This is just to much. I would never give you up if the situation was reversed. I would hold you even
closer to me, knowing that part of him is in you. That you are his son, that I would see him in you everyday." As I said this
tears slowly fell down my face. Even as I felt hurt and betrayed by him for what he did, I still loved my husband. But, I knew I
couldn't just pick back up where I left off with him. I would be reminded everyday of what he did, even if it is only
temporary. I layed there just thinking when I felt movement in my belly. Gasping, I jerked the covers down and flatten my
palms over my stomach. I quickly looked at Jaejoong, seeing him smile. I see a little ray of light in this dark day. I rub my
hands in gentle soothing circles. My baby was alive! I haven't lost it. Then I stopped my hands. Chunghee. I will have to
tell him of the baby. Before leaving Europe I had a feeling that I had been pregnant, but, I wasn't all that sure, my monthly
cycles where never that regular, the reason why Jaejoong was an only child, until now. The kicking under my hands stopped and
I removed them from my belly to grasp my sons hands." Jaejoong, I know I sound unreasonable, but could you please not tell
your father about me. I need time to let my anger subside, to calm down." Right now if I see him, I would want a divorce, and
I'm not all that sure if I really want to go in that direction yet. I'm mad yes, but I still love that jerk. Jae said he
would not tell until I was ready, and I sighned as I thought of my husband.
I turn my head to see Yunho, he's smiling at Jae and I turn to see Jae blushing and smiling shyly back at him. Whats going
on here? I let a small grin come as I see my sons face fill with love for the other boy. No, I had no problems with this. If
anything, I'm happy about thier liking each other. My fingers flex around his and I feel something hard on his hand. Lifting
his hand, I see a ring circling his finger. I tilted my head to the side and gazed at my son. He's happy, his beautiful face
glowing as he watched Yunho across the bed. I clear my throat to get his attention. Seeing him looking at me, "Jae," turning
my head to include Yunho in my question,"Yunho, Is there something you guys need to tell me? Something to do with why my son
is wearing an engagement ring, and you two grinning like crazy at each other." I see my son's face turn redder and Yunho
laughs as he sees this. Yunho turns to me, "Yes, thats an engagment ring. We're getting married. Would have been married
already, but we decided to wait so you could be there. The weddings in three days." Yunho says all this fast, like he's
afraid I'm going to object to him marrying my son.
Thats when I decided to tease them. "What makes you think I'd let you marry my one and only son? He can't marry a boy, he's
got to carry on the family name." I see shock on Jaes face as a akward silence fills the room. Jaes eyes fills with tears and
Yunho's around the bed in a second to comfort him. Jae's face turns to me, "I will marry him. I'm not going to ask for your
permission. You can be there or not." My mouth dropped open. My son just stood up to me, so I knew he was serious about
marrying Yunho. Of course, I already knew this, but this set my heart at ease. My son is in love. Deeply in love. I smiled
gently as I reached out and patted his face lovingly. "My son, of course you will marry Yunho. I would never stand in your
way. All I want is your happiness. If marrying Yunho will make yo happy, then you will be a married man in three days time."
I laughed out as I see confusion on his and Yunho's faces. "You thought I was serious? When have I ever denied you anything
Jae? I've never been able to tell you no. I just love you to much." I face Yunho, "And that means, if my son is ever unhappy,
you'll have me to deal with. Your family may be the most powerful in South Korea, but do not test a mothers love." I shut my
eyes as I feel fatigue take over my body. I smiled as I thought of my son walking down the aisle. Letting myself drift off to
sleep with wedding bells ringing in my head.
Jaejoong's pov
I watched as my mom drifted off to sleep. She looked so plae and weak, to weak to deal with my stubborn appa right now, so,
I'll honor her request and not tell him about her. I felt Yunhos hand on my waist as I straightend up her covers and patted
her belly. My smile coming back to my face at the thought of the little life inside of her. This only made my omma more
special to me.
Frowning, I thought of her teasing a minute ago. I would have defied her and married Yunho anyways. I know this like I know I
need air. Never had I talked back to my mom like that, but this once, I wasn't going to give up Yunho for my mother, not
going to let her tear me away from him like that. Oh, the great relief I felt when she said she was for the wedding.
I should have known she would be ok with it. I felt tears again sting my eyes as I gaze up at Yunho, Yunho reaching over to
wipe my cheeks as they spilled down, then drawing me into his warm embrace. We stood like this until the doctor came in to
check on my omma.
The doctor shook our hands and asked how she was doing. At our telling him she was doing ok, I had to ask him about Saturday,
"Will she be able to come to my wedding?" The doctor glanced at the chart in his hands and smiled. "Well, accourding to this
she is doing remarkably well. So well, in fact that when she was check for dilation, she had went back down to one
centimeter. What I'm trying to say, is that she will not have to be on permanent bedrest. She'll be able toget up for about
one hour at a time, and move around. But no heavy lifting, no straining. No sex. No driving. Nothing strenuous. We want to
keep her at one centimeter if we can. I fshe does this she should deliver at full term. In saying all this, I see no reason
why she couldn't go to your wedding, as long as she sits for the most part and not get up often. I guess I don't have to tell
you not to let her drink or take any illegal drugs. Also make sure she maintains a healthy diet, and drinks plenty of water.
Other than that she should be able to go home, We'll say Friday afternoon, ok." After saying all this the doctor smiles at
our silence. Then he chuckles as I start to laugh and hug Yunho harder. He shakes our hands again and leaves the room.
I look down at my mothers sleeping form. She'll be coming home in time for the wedding. I smiled all the way home that night.
Yunho and I already talked and we we're going to have my omma live with us until after the baby was born. Thinking that I
could be there for her in case of emergencies. That night I slept better than I had for weeks.
A/N I know that a large part of this chapter was from Mrs. Kims pov, but I wanted to show how she felt. I guess I don't have to tell you whats coming next, lol. dum dum da dum, dum dum da dum....
