Chapter 171 - Late Night Snack

"Shiwoo. Shiwoo. Baby please." I whined and he groaned.

"Atalia please it's late. Go back to bed.'

"But I can't. The baby is hungry. Can you please make us a sandwich?" I begged as I cutely as I could and he sighed.

"Fine. Let's go."

"Yay!" I said clapping as he helped me to get off the bed and we quietly made our way to the kitchen.

I sat at the island as he opened the fridge squinting at the harsh lights as he rubbed his sleepy eyes and brushed his messy hair back.

He looked so cute and fluffy so I just sat and watch him as he moved around the kitchen making me a sandwich.

"Here. One bologna sandwich with cheese and lettuce." he said handing me the sandwich and as I brought it to my mouth and caught a whiff of it I gaged.

"Did you put mayonnaise in this?"

"Yes why?" he asked confused as I placed the sandwich back onto the plate pushing as far as I could away from me.

"I cant eat that."

"Why not?" he asked picking up the sandwich taking a bite, "it's delicious. Just try it."

"It has mayonnaise in it. I can't eat it. The baby doesn't like it."

"What? What do you mean by the baby doesn't like it? The last time I made it without mayonnaise you threw a fit and said that the baby needed mayo, but now you're telling me that she doesn't like it!?"

"Don't raise your voice at me!" I yelled pouting and he sighed running his hand over his face.

"Okay look. I'm sorry okay. What does the baby feel like eating hmm? I'll make it."

"Hmm" I said pondering with my pointer finger tapping my chin, "fried chicken."

"Fried chicken? Atalia it's two in the morning. You cant eat something like that right now. I thought we agreed on eating healthy."

"Oh so now you're calling me fat?" I asked folding my arms and his eyes widened in fear.

"What!? No! No no no baby I was just-"

"It's okay. I've lost my appetite. I'll just go to bed." I said cutting him off as I got off the island stool and he sighed.

"Okay fine look I'm going to get chicken see." he said grabbing his jacket and keys, "see I have my keys, and I'm going."

"Okay." I said smiling as ran over to kiss him on the cheeks, "be careful, and extra barbeque sauce please. Thank you baby."

He sighed as he mumbled something under his breath, but went o get me the chicken none the less.

Seoul was a city that didn't sleep so most places were open, so late night snack run was really convenient.

About fifteen minutes had passed, and my stomach had been grumbling so I decided to make myself a fruit bowl until he came back.

I got the fruits that I wanted from the fridge, and placed them on the counter and began to chop them up on the cutting board.

Somewhere along the way while I was cutting the strawberries, I was gazing and I missed the berry chopping my middle finger instead.

"Ah!" I hissed out in pain as warm blood began to ooze from my finger and I turned the tap on running it under it until the bleeding had stopped then I checked the damage.

The cut was pretty bad for it went through my finger nail but it was not extremely deep.

The ones on the flesh though was pretty deep, and the skin began to turn purple as it throbbed.

I was running the finger under the tap again for a few minutes when I heard the front door opened and closed, and I quickly hid my finger behind my back as I grimaced in pain, "hey baby! Back so soon?"

"Yeah. It was not really as crowded as I thought it would be. Oh and uhh I got you a Kimbap to keep things healthy."

"Mhmm" I said smiling and nodding through the pain and he rose a brow as he studied my pained smile and I whinced in pian.

"Atalia what's wrong?"

"Nothing!" I answered too soon and he hummed looking at the knife and the fruits.

"What were you making?"

"A fruit bowl. Want some?" I asked and he nodded,

"Sure."

"Cool." I said nodding with my hand still behind me.

"Aren't you going to make it?" he asked after a minute of me nodding still with my hand behind me.

"Sure."

I slowly removed my hand from behind me and I whimpered in pain as I grabbed the knife and held the fruit.

"Ah ha! I knew it!"

"Shiwoo baby I can explain. I-"

"Oh no baby no need to explain. It's simple as this, but what the hell were you doing to make you cut yourself Atalia? Even the twins know about knife safety. I was coming back with food Atalia. What made you have to go and hurt yourself trying to make something else!?" he yelled cutting me off.

"Stop talking to me as if I'm a child Seo Jin. The kids are sleeping."

He exhaled and lowered his voice, "let me see your finger."

"I don't need you hel-" I began to say, but stopped when he took my finger in his mouth as he gently sucked on it.

"Let's go get your finger cleaned up and dressed." 

"Okay." I said softly as I followed behind him like a little puppy.

He dressed my finger in silence as he clenched and unclenched his jaw, and I pouted in guilt when he sighed, "Atalia I want you to know that whenever I scold you it's not because I don't love you, for I love you dearly. Atalia you were using a knife and you gazed for a second and cut yourself. What if it was something much more worse huh? I don't think I will be able to live with losing you, the both of you. So baby please promise me that you will be more careful and listen. If not for you, then for the baby please."

"Okay. I'm sorry." I said lowering my head, and he lifted my jaw to look up at him.

"I know baby. I know. Now let's go eat and go to bed. I have work in the morning."

He fed me pieces of chicken and kimbap and we went to bed cuddling as usual.

The next morning though my hormones were off the charts, as I found myself crying as I helped him to button his cuffs.

"Baby what's wrong?" he asked concerned and I sobbed.

"Please don't go."

"Oh I'm sorry baby, but I have to. I have a big meeting today." he answered, and I began to sob even more, "oh no baby please don't cry. Do you want to go shopping? Should I call Lia?"

"Mhmm. Okay." I said between sobs and he called Lia.

I luckily soon after calmed down and was feeling much better as I suck on a popsicle when I felt the baby gave me a hard kick as Shiwoo held my stomach and I began to cry again.

"Oh no baby what did I do this time? How do I fix it? Please stop crying."

"You did this to me!" I screamed crying, "you put a baby in me, and now she takes me as a soccer field always fuckin kicking around."

He sighed running his hands through his hair obviously frustrated and had no idea of what to do or say.

Luckily for him Lia arrived shortly after saving him from another breakdown and let out a sigh of relief, "Lia! Thank God you're here."

"Hey. What's up? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"It's Atalia she's. She's crying again, and I have to go. Thank you so much for coming." I heard him say and I sniffled, "Adriel and Adrian let's go."

I went outside to where they were and Lia gave me a sad smile, and I kissed the twins and Shiwoo goodbye as they left.

Lia and I spent the day shopping and pampering which I was grateful for, for theses random crying sessions has been making me so depressed and sad.

It was fun getting out of the house, for it has been two weeks since I was forced to take a leave from work since I was now seven months.

My tummy was very large and round, so it was a bit hard to get around, but with Lia holding my hand by side, and several rest breaks a minute, we made it through the mall and back home.

It was really a fun day that we had.

I can't wait for baby girl to come out so that I can drink again.

I really need it.
