Pregnancy, Childbirth and Fatherhood: Gitae Kim
Author's Note: To the opposite of Gitae Kim, we are keeping this short and sweet.
Trigger/Content Warnings: This fic contains discussion of abortion and mentions of pregnant sex
You never planned on having kids with Gitae Kim, and despite your consistent efforts, the universe thought it’d be funny to get you pregnant anyway.
You didn’t tell him immediately. You love Gitae, but you know what kind of man he is, the kind of world you two live in. Do you really want to bring a baby into the equation?
Alone and afraid, you considered abortion for the longest time until you broke down in front of your husband.
“Why are you crying?” He asks, cupping your face between his giant palms. “This is wonderful news!”
To be honest, Gitae never cared for children. He took extra steps to prevent pregnancies in the many, many, many women he’s been with before you, but now—with you—he has relaxed considerably. He didn’t demand birth control shots and sponges[1] in addition to condoms. A part of him wished you would let him do it raw, but you never relented, even during your safe days you wanted to be cautious. He had discussed having kids once or twice, but you bristled at the mere mention of them so he assumed you didn’t want any.
He could live with that, he told himself. He was happy to hoard all your love and attention.
But things have changed. His first child is here, carried by the only woman who has ever had his heart.
He doesn’t leave you alone anymore. He’s become more paranoid and can’t even trust his own men (let’s face it, he does not trust anybody but you). Gitae Kim has always been lazy, but now he has become a real homebody, much to the relief of everybody else.
Hospital? Why does his wife have to make appointments when he can just have the doctors and their equipment come to the mansion?
During every checkup, Gitae stays in the room, staring holes into the back of your physician’s skull. As much as you’re grateful for his attentiveness, you can tell that he makes it hard for your doctor to do her job, so you have to shoo him away every time. He looks like “a kicked puppy” every time. That’s how you describe him but any third party or normal person sees “an angry gangster.”
To your (and everyone else’s) relief, your pregnancy goes smoothly. Maybe a little too smoothly. With your hormones all over the place, Gitae finds himself getting jumped way too often—not that he’s complaining. He is not one to turn away sex, but he draws the line on rough sex with his pregnant wife. There will be no spanking, slapping, choking and restraining while you’re carrying the baby. Also, there is a period of absolutely zero penetrative sex and that is during the first months after the birth.
Thankfully, your easy pregnancy also ends with an easy labor. It is still painful, but not as traumatic as say, what Samuel Seo’s wife goes through.
Gitae Kim knows fully well that you’re in no way ready for sex after that, so he restrains himself. It’s hard, he has to admit, especially since you are lactating. But your health comes first. Oh, and the baby too, he begrudgingly adds.
Speaking of the baby, he’s doing his part on keeping his dad in check by hoarding your attention and refusing to be held by anyone else but his mother. Your son has a humongous appetite and is extremely clingy, so you find yourself falling asleep while breastfeeding and Gitae has to make sure you and the baby are comfortable.
