Sungchan is always the absolute sweetest with children
If you have siblings/cousins etc with children he’s so kind and so doting, they have him wrapped around their little fingers
So finally when you’re married and ready you mutually decide that you want to start having the children you both wanted
Not long after you start trying you fall pregnant and he’s so excited
comes home the next day after finding out from work with a baby grow and like blankets and stuff and you’re like woah I’m only like two weeks gone
Sorts literally everything for you
Books like three months worth of appointments as soon as possible
He just claims its because he’s so excited but bless him he is slightly excessive in a cute way
Scan picture is everywhere
It’s Sungchan’s lock screen, it’s in Sungchan’s wallet, he frames it, he probably has a little keyring of it for some reason
Everyone on planet earth has seen your scan photo
You’re not actually too sick, but he still treats you as if you’ll break in half if he were to touch you
One day he like properly scolds you because he sees you carrying a heavy amazon package and when he opens it its full of books about pregnancy and parenting which he studies religiously as if he has an exam coming up
Highlights things he thinks are important
He buys you a rather expensive pregnancy pillow which you kind of accidentally replace him with
He doesn’t mind because you look so cute and comfortable and that’s all he wants
You get a lot of hot flushes at night so you sleep with the covers down at your hips so if Sungchan is watching you while you’re asleep he can see the baby kicking and moving and its so incredible to him
You decide not to find out whether it’s a boy or a girl just for funsies tbh
Sungchan secretly hopes its a girl… he can picture himself as a girl dad
Think jeju island or like just somewhere along the coast
It’s like September and he’s covering you in suncream lmao
Tells you how much he loves and admires you every ten seconds
Big on loving on your bump and you of course
Cuddles, kissing, sappy pet names, never leaves your side, very handsy, attentive but its sweet
Waits on you hand and foot, which at times you slightly take advantage of but he does not mind
Foot rubs and shoulder massages all day whenever you ask
He books you a prenatal massage and its just absolute heaven, the first time you lay on your front in so long
Sends you off on a little spa day trip with your best friend(s) while him and a few of the members paint the nursery, so you can avoid the paint fumes and stress
as you decided not to find out the gender, the nursery is painted lilac (your choice)
You glow throughout your pregnancy, Sungchan loves it you look so healthy
Talks about random shit to your bump all day
Songs he’s recording, comebacks he’s working on, random memories from inkigayo days
Speaking of Jihoon and Yujin send cards and flowers and stuff bless
Will do a gentle rap occasionally (mainly to make you laugh when you feel a bit crap)
I feel like Sungchan is like the ‘you can’t name the baby until you’ve seen them’ so names aren’t hugely discussed
Every time you bring it up he’s like ‘relaaaax, we have ages’
You’re not even sure of any names that he likes
Your baby is overall really healthy over the pregnancy
Always doing cute things during scans like rolling over and sucking their thumb
You go into labour during the night
You have cramps and stuff in the evening but you kind of brush them off, and eventually go to sleep
But then you wake up in the middle of the night by an intense stabbing cramp and ur like no. not braxtons definitely not
Honestly ur already sleep deprived from all the kicking and general discomfort so in a questionable moment of judgement ur just like. This is fine. Ill go back to sleep now
So for like five minutes you lay there just like dropping off and then you feel like you’re being stabbed yet again and ur just like yeah no that’s not ok
You wake up Sungchan who basically has like you know the panic the male sims have when a sim goes into labour that is him
You literally have to coach him through driving to the hospital
Eventually you make it and you’re admitted straight away
Sungchan is super supportive the whole time, holds you and lets you squeeze the life out of his hands and just takes it when you swear and shout and cry
Holds your hands through an epidural
Which calms you down quite a lot
After something like eleven hours you’re allowed to push
About an hour later your baby is born
‘It’s a girl!’ The midwife announces, and your heart basically melts to liquid
You just love her so much
Sungchan is like sobbing in your ear when they lay her on your chest
He is obsessed straight away
He loves the feeling of bonding with her
She loves it too, when she’s a bit distressed he just holds her and she calms straight down
‘I think she looks like a Mira,’ Sungchan murmurs later that evening
‘I like it,’ you stroke her cheek with the back of your index finger
She was also born on a leap year??
So you can only imagine the jokes she’ll have to endure
Things are pretty hard when you get home
Mira cries a lot and incessantly
You and Sungchan try your best to support each other through all the sleepless nights and confusing new experiences
Sungchan is incredibly patient I think
If she’s up late at night and he’s tired I don’t think he would be annoyed, he would just accept it and stay awake with her
He loves being close to her, feeding her with her bottle and cuddling her
Her first bath is actually so wholesome, Sungchan holds her and you clean her with the warm soapy water
It’s a nice memory that you’ll never forget
Anyway Shotaro is her godfather you cannot change my mind
The members love her she’s so cute and friendly and just likes to be cuddled by anyone
Which makes Sungchan worry about her sense of stranger danger but we move
She grows up far too quickly for Sungchan’s liking
She was just his little baby but she can suddenly sit up by herself and roll over and everything
When she teethes Sungchan is your hero
Neither of you can stand seeing her in so much pain and discomfort but Sungchan is just an absolute trooper, buys the best teething toys around and lets her chew at his hand if there’s nothing else
Will try and keep a straight face if she nibbles his shoulder or neck
Her first birthday is very confusing
Should you celebrate on the 28th February? 1st March?
You have such a fun day, she eats her cake well and you have the doljabi
Has her fair share of random and pointless tantrums and destructive moments, but she’s playful and curious and has the cutest shrieking laugh
Sungchan’s favourite concert attendee
Loves performing in front of her, looking for her and pointing at her in the crowd which makes her shy
Such a sweet girl, charms every adult she meets, makes friends easily
Adapts to learning and new things well, and generally without a fight
The day she leaves for nursery Sungchan is a WRECK
His little baby doesn’t need him anymore
Hes so dramatic takes a photo of her like everywhere he goes as if he’ll like never see her again
Although it does make him feel better that she goes with Shotaro’s middle child, Sakura who is only a month younger than her (and her bestie)
Nursery is actually kind of fun for him in the end, Mira brings home like kind of weirdly abstract artwork, telling Sungchan about the toys that she played with that day and the friends she made or played with and Sungchan is like o.0 this baby I made is now like a little human with experiences and will have a life of her own some day
He doesn’t really know what to do with his day when she’s at nursery
He helps you with housework and you get to spend some quality time together but something is missing from his day
‘Y/N, what do you think about having another little one?’ He asks one night when you’re laying in bed, head on his chest while he strokes your hair.
‘Is if because you miss Mira?’
‘I mean, we always agreed on two kids. I’ve just started to have the same feeling as I did before we had Mira.’
‘I must admit, I also do feel ready. Maybe we should give it a little more thought? Go through the next few days imagining as though we had a baby with us and then regroup?’
Sungchan spends the next few days daydreaming about having another baby, re-experiencing the baby smell, having another tiny human in his likeness as well as seeing Mira interact with a baby sibling
Eventually you warm up completely to the idea and you begin trying for another baby
About six months after you start trying you fall pregnant
Your second pregnancy is really very similar to the first, you experience a lot of sickness and are pretty bed bound for a couple of weeks at first
Your second pregnancy is really very similar to the first, you experience a lot of sickness and are pretty bed bound for a couple of weeks at first
Sungchan is absolutely ecstatic that you’re going to have another baby
Mira is unsurprisingly worried about you, so you try your best to keep a brave face for her
Once you safely move past the twelve week mark you feel comfortable telling Mira
You’re like ‘how would you feel about having a little brother or sister? Just like Sakura?’
And at first she really questions what you mean but you manage to get through to her
She seems kind of apprehensive but the second Sungchan mentions the word ‘play’ she got super excited and decided she thought it was the greatest idea in the world
Of course she’s only four, so she doesn’t really understand fully
When you get your little bump you do show her
She is quite concerned I mean ‘mummy/mommy what do you mean there’s a baby in your tummy?’
Pregnancy is not always smooth sailing, again you struggle a lot with sickness and headaches again
At five months you decide to find out the gender this time just because Mira was constantly asking whether she was getting a brother or sister so you just kind of gave up and bent to her will
Sungchan couldn’t believe you were having another daughter
Honestly he is such a girl dad by nature, he just wants to take care of all of his girls
Mira feels slightly threatened by the idea of a sister, the same as her
But she does start to get excited, especially when she sees the baby move around and you encourage her to talk to her
For the most part, your pregnancy is healthy and there are no signs of anything wrong
Until your final scan, at about 34 weeks
The nurse doing your scan looks a bit concerned, as she does feel around at the bottom of your bump
‘I’m not sure how to say this, but your baby is in a breech position, so instead of being head down, she’s laying bottom first’
‘What?’ Sungchan looks terrified, ‘what does that mean for the baby?’
’To clarify, there isn’t always a reason why this happens. It could be the position of the placenta, the amount of amniotic fluid, anything. In terms of what we’ll need to do now, I would recommend having to schedule a C-section for a certain date.’
Sungchan immediately glances at you, ‘how does that make you feel?’
’She’s ok, right?’ You check with the nurse.
‘There really rarely is much to worry about in these cases. It just means giving birth naturally would not be an option. She’ll be ok.’
‘I’m fine with the section,’ you assure Sungchan, squeezing his hand lightly, which he reciprocates, ‘it’s the best thing for the baby.’
Sungchan brings your hand up to his lips and kisses it, ‘I just want you to feel confident going into it.’
‘I’ll be in good hands,’ you smile, ‘I’m sure you’ll be there the whole time.’
‘If anything, you’ll be able to choose her birthday,’ the nurse quips, holding up a desk calendar from the space next to her computer.
You decide on December 18th, exactly a week before Christmas, because you will be pretty much full-term then
You wanted to keep her in for as long as possible
‘Do you not think having a birthday before Christmas is a bit of an issue?’ Sungchan randomly asks when you’re laying in bed one night
‘Well I mean it’s a bit of a logistical nightmare, with you know, Christmas and-‘
’Sungchan, our other daughter’s birthday is on a leap year. I think this will be much easier than that.’
Eventually the day comes and Sungchan finds himself in scrubs in the operating room, hand threaded through your hair to help you feel calm
‘Will you hold my hand?’ You murmur, a mixture of tiredness and medication taking over.
‘The whole time,’ he nods, ‘Y/N, I love you. And Mira, and whoever this one turns out to be. Everything will be fine. Just relax, I’m right here next to you.’
The surgery doesn’t take very long
Neither of you can see anything due to the sheet blocking your views, but a surgeon does narrate the process for you
You don’t feel much, just a slight tugging and Sungchan’s hand in your own
After a short while, you hear a shrill cry fill the room, followed by a ‘here’s your daughter’
She’s on your chest a few moments later, Sungchan letting go of your hand to cut the cord
Sungchan is so relieved that you’re all ok and safe
once you are wheeled back to your room and you’ve spent some time alone with the baby, you begin bouncing names off each other
‘What about Nayoung?’ you suggest, ‘I like it. it’s so pretty.’
Sungchan nods, ‘I like it. Hi Nayoung. You have a family and a big sister who all love you so much.’
