“Wait shortly and we will prepare her.”
Siwon simply nodded at the woman who smiled gleefully at him. She giggled at his eager expression and watched him standing on his toes to look over the woman’s head though he was so tall it felt a bit silly to do so. She raised her hands to block his view and asked him to step back, he was not allowed to come in no matter how much he wanted to.
The tall male did as he was told, pouting as the woman closed the door without another word. It was uncertain how long he had to wait so Siwon turned around and moved through the crowded hallway. He grabbed the doorknob of room 1315 and carefully opened the door, peeking in his head and smiling at two of the three men.
Leeteuk motioned with his head for Siwon to come over and placed his finger against his lips so the other knew to be silent. The tall male crept inside, closed the door softly and embraced a teary-eyed Eunhyuk. The tall male patted his back with a small chuckle, listening to Eunhyuk’s sniffles.
“I-I’m so happy for you guys.”
“Thank you, Hyukkie, you too Teukie-hyung.”
Leeteuk smiled brightly from his seat next to the bed where Donghae was sleeping. The sleeping male was a bit pale and looked exhausted, but he was stable according to the doctor. They had nothing to worry about and needed to be patient. All that Donghae needed was rest and lots of love.
“Aah, do you think he will wake up soon?” Eunhyuk wiped the tears of his face as he pulled away from Siwon’s warm hug feeling a bit embarrassed.
“Don’t know, it was quite a struggle” Siwon whispered back and turned to the leader who had stood and wanted to embrace him as well. They felt comfort in the hug and Leeteuk could see how happy and proud Siwon felt.
“Don’t worry, I’m awake” a groggy voice suddenly said.
The three standing males turned to the bed where a now frowning Donghae with half-lidded eyes was staring at them. Eunhyuk immediately grasped the other’s hand, squeezing it and smiling widely, his eyes twinkling though Donghae’s look darkened slightly.
“Ah, did we.. wake you?” Siwon asked carefully.
The look on Donghae’s face was well known to him and he eyed Eunhyuk warily. The smiling man didn’t seem bothered by Donghae’s look and started a ramble about how happy all of Super Junior was and how Donghae had done such a good job. Everyone was thrilled to visit him at the hospital, but they couldn’t right now because of schedules. Leeteuk and himself had come right after their Sukira radio broadcast though.
Donghae sighed deeply. He wanted to listen, he really did, but his head felt heavy and the words didn’t even register in his head. Turning to look at Siwon, Donghae blinked the sleep out of his eyes. A small smile appeared on his face as the tall male neared him and cupped his cheek.
Eunhyuk fell silent almost instantly, blinking at the look shared between Donghae and Siwon. A hand being placed on his shoulder made him jerk slightly. Leeteuk now stood beside him, smiling softly with his eyes glancing at the door. It was time to leave them alone. The two members left silently, Leeteuk having to drag Eunhyuk who was too interested in watching the public display of affection between his two best friends.
“You are beautiful” Siwon said softly once the door was shut.
“Liar, I look like crap” Donghae replied and laughed wholeheartedly, his hand clutching the sheet covering his body.
Donghae felt tired, completely spent, as if he had just finished a Super Show although he was pretty sure finishing a show didn’t make him feel as sore as he felt at the moment. Closing his eyes, Donghae tried to focus on the small caressing movement of Siwon’s thumb on his cheek instead of the aching pain in his stomach.
“Does it hurt a lot?” Siwon asked softly, noticing the light frown on Donghae’s face.
“Hmm a little..” the other replied and loosened the death grip on the fabric in his hand.
“Where is she..?” Donhae asked opening his eyes again, a sudden panicked feeling washing over him and making his body tense. By focusing on his pain he had totally forgotten the cause of it and now he feared something bad had happened.
“They will bring her shortly” Siwon wiped some strands out of Donghae’s face and kissed his forehead. It was slightly sticky and he was certain Donghae was having a fever, but the nurses would take good care of him. Medicine and other medical aid were only one press of the red button away.
As if on cue the door suddenly opened and a pair of giggling nurses entered the room. The first one happily waved her arms, overjoyed and ready to take pictures once her colleague stepped forward and stood on Donghae’s other side. Ever so gently she lowered her arms and the bundle of cloths she was carrying.
Siwon smiled softly once the little baby rested in Donghae’s arms. She puffed shorts breaths of air and made short noises as if already wanting to say hello. There were clicks and flashes indicating the nurse was taking the first family pictures, but neither of the parents could take their eyes off their daughter no matter how many times the nurse would whine to get their attention.
“She has your nose” Siwon whispered softly and leaned over to take a better look at the little blinking girl.
“Poor babygirl, she has my nose and my ears” Donghae joked as he touched the tiny nose and the tiny ears, biting his lip at how cute she looked. She closed her eyes and seemed to be sleepy, nothing unusual for a newborn.
“Why are you pitying our baby, gosh you are so..” Siwon laughed and stroked Donghae’s head, trying to find the right word to finish his sentence.
Millions of words flashed through his head, words to describe Donghae’s personality, his looks, his habits, his voice, his whole being. It was not difficult to find a word, the difficult part was to find one word that could fully describe his lover.
Siwon looked back down at their daughter who had now completely shut off her surroundings and was cozily sleeping in the warm cloths supported by Donghae’s arms. The longer the tall proud man looked, the more blessed he felt and at that moment the perfect word to not only describe his partner but their lovechild as well popped into his mind.
“Gorgeous”
