Chapter 167 - Family Addition 10

Wonho nods, hiding his face in between his alpha's neck. He does feel better. Not because Heiran is not in the picture anymore, but because he knows his alpha will not let any harm come to him and their family. That it is okay for him to have his child here for a while because Minwoo will protect them.

'I'm sorry…' Wonho finally allows himself to apologize. He pushed his alpha away thinking he is the only one who cares enough about the child's safety, but it is obvious he is wrong. Minwoo is confident enough to let those things bother him because he knows he can protect them. And his alpha trusts him enough to not ask questions about his plans. Wonho just did a bad job explaining it.

He really made the right decision to come back and claim Minwoo as his alpha because it is obvious now that they want the same thing.

They want each other. And a family.

They are perfect for each other. They just need to work on communicating more. Apparently, not only about their feelings, but also their past plans, and long-term future plans. Because they are no longer running a one-man show. They are in this together.

Enjoying the now calm environment, Minwoo decides to use this moment to apologize for his own panicked rampage and cause his omega enough stress that he had to be hospitalized. Though he knows he is not to be fully blamed, he does think it is necessary.

Wonho only smiles at the apology, his face relaxed. Laughing about how stupid and dramatic he was the last couple of days, he finally takes Minwoo's hand. 

And places it on his stomach, looking at him hopefully. The action confuses Minwoo. 'What?'

'The bump. There's a bump. See?' the smaller male lifts his large shirt and points at his stomach. It is indeed, a bit bigger than usual considering how skinny his mate is. But tha-

Owh.

OWH!

'Our baby! Owh god, Wonie-yah! You're pregnant!' Minwoo squeals, his tension high. They were having such a rough time that he couldn't even be happy for their little alpha in Wonho's tummy. Now that everything is over, his mind clear, Wonho finally officially tells his alpha about the news, sincerely able to feel excited for it.

'He's going to be so cute! Omo, maybe just-' the omega shushes the noisy male by placing a finger on his lips, asking him to shut up. Breathing heavily, trying to control himself, Minwoo watches as Wonho gets up from his seat and takes something from his bag on the kitchen table. 

His mate brings out something rectangular.

Baby picture. Owh god!!!

'Is this? He's so tiny! Owh, oh my. Wonie this-'

'11 weeks. You wanna mark his conception day?' Wonho teases the restless alpha who is smiling from ear to ear. Sitting back down, he only laughes as Minwoo starts to comment on every little thing about the black and white picture and dreaming about how he will teach their child to do 'alpha stuffs'. Happily listening to the raspy voice of his, Wonho's stomach grumbles the moment he notices his untouched food. Not able to resist temptation, he brings up his forgotten chopstick and starts to eat again.

'What are you eating?' His mate excitedly asks, curious. The brief inspection causes the man to gasp. 'Fish? Why are you eating fish?? Aren't you allergic?' To which Wonho only lifts his shoulder as a response. The surprised look however, is quickly changed to that of excitement, yet again. 'Omo, you're having food-craving!'

'Yah, shut up!' Wonho finally decides to stop his mate from talking any longer. He is becoming really, really noisy right now. 

Owh no he didn't. Minwoo just took a bite, 'Yah! This is my food!'

'Blearghh!' Minwoo sprays the extremely sour soup the moment it touches his tongue. Reaching for his drink, he gulpes everything in one shot, coughing the lingering taste from his mouth. 'What the hell is this? You squeezed lemon? Why?'

Wonho lifts his shoulders in response, yet again.

#####

Hearing the door close, Wonho turns his position around to look at the alpha who just entered the bedroom. Minwoo had been talking with his father since after dinner, the two enjoying their time together for whatever reason. He wanted to join them but the medicine the doctor gave him made him sleepy, so he got inside earlier to rest. Reading the clock, he calls out to his mate. 'You're still awake?'

'Urm.' He replies, making space for Minwoo to sit beside him. The man takes the sonogram from the table, stares at it and chuckles, finding the little bean with tiny legs protruding cute. Wonho wants to comment on how weird the bean actually looks with small hands but decides against it. Just enjoying the glistening look on his mate's face.

So handsome.

Okay. The moment passed. 'There's no ears.'

'What?' The alpha looks at Wonho, and Wonho repeats again, 'He has no ears. Just a ball with nose.'

'Oh my god.' Minwoo bursts out laughing, hitting his mate's shoulder lightly which sends the other smiling his largest as well. 'Well thank god for that because we used a lot of bad words today.'

'We really need to stop cursing.' Wonho replies as he lies back down to rest after teasing his alpha. After the whole ordeal he put the man through, he just wants to make sure Minwoo is happy right now. His man deserves it. Listening to his laugh, and the hum he is making right now is enough proof.

'What's that?' Minwoo suddenly points at the book lying on the table causing Wonho to lift his head a bit to see the said thing. Lying back down, he answers, 'Guidebook. I bought it that day.'

'Guidebook?'

'Uh-uh. Cus I have no idea how to take care of that big-head.' He points at the picture in Minwoo's hand, enjoying the soft smile on the alpha at the name-call. He is not lying, he has no clue what he had gotten himself into. Since he thought it would take a while before he would actually carry one, Wonho had never even searched about it let alone read and study it. He knows he has so much to learn which is why he bought a complete guide. But it is clear now that he does not have to do it alone. His mate is a medical practitioner who knows the basics, and his family also have experience with pregnancies. All he has to do is ask.

Minwoo lets go of his omega and sits up, making his way to the edge of the bed so he can grab the thick book. 'Male pregnancy.' He reads as he turns the pages, inspecting the content. 'A lot of pictures too.'

'Really?' Wonho turns towards the alpha, grabbing his shoulder to pull him back to bed. It has been a while since he slept with his alpha, he craves for the warmth of Minwoo's body and his protective scent. Forcing the man's hand away from the book, he places his head on his bicep, putting his head on the crook of his neck to inhale as much scent as he can - that mossy smell that he loves. 

'Lemme guess, you haven't touched this.' Minwoo comments.

'Nope. Let's sleep.'

'No. Let's study. I need to learn too.' He places a kiss on Wonho's forehead and chuckles as he hears the annoyed grunt he missed so much. 'So, male pregnancy…'
