Chapter 34 - Your Coming Back

Lauren

I woke up due to the sounds that were coming from beside me and I opened my eyes to see Jihye putting the food on the plates while Jayden was watching some cartoons on the television. I sit up and Jihye caught my attention.

"Hey, You're awake" she helped me sit up and I smiled "Good Afternoon" she whispered

"Good afternoon, I-I'm sorry I overslept. I-I'm tired" I say while praying to God that my eyes are not that swollen.

"It's okay" she rubs my back "You hungry?" She asked while I nodded

"What do you have?" I asked

"Salad and chicken breast. I made it together with Jayden and I hope you like it" she mumbled while placing the food in front of me

"I think I will, it looks good," I said while she thanked me and blushed when I was about to take a bite Jayden looked up at me and his eyes lit up

"Mommy, you're awake!" He said excitedly and instantly went to my side "Dada, carry me please" We chuckled and Jihye was the best 'father' she is. He carried him and let him sit beside me while she also sit in the chair.

"Mommy, how're you feeling? Are you doing okay?" He asked excitedly I was about to answer but he spoke again "Mommy, do you know that Dada and I made that salad? The kitchen was a disaster because we couldn't figure out how to make it" I looked at Jihye and she was already playfully glaring at our son. I couldn't help but laugh because it feels like he's the most honest kid ever. 

"Is that true?" I asked my wife while she was already biting her lips while trying my best not to laugh. Jihye was supposed to answer when Jayden spoke again

"It is true!" He said happily and that's my cue to laugh already

"Aren't you the most honest cutie pie!" I said while pinching his cheek and he giggled "alright, to answer your bunch of questions. Mommy is doing alright, I'm okay. I have no negative feelings, I'm knowing every one of you and I'm just glad that I'm awake today" I mumbled while he grinned at me he stood up in the bed while I held his waist. He kissed me and hug me by the neck

"I love you, Mommy!" He said while I sigh and smiled

"I love you too, buddy" I mumbled while Hugging him back. I looked at Jihye and she was smiling at us already. I looked at her and she also looked at me. I opened my hands for her to take and she instantly got the message, she held my hand tightly snd mouthing me that she cleaned the kitchen with the help of the maids and I couldn't help but chuckle. I told her that it was okay and for sure they probably enjoy cooking the meal and that's all that matters at the moment.

Jihye

Seeing my wife smiling so brightly with our son is something that I want to cherish forever, even though this thing happened she still really is a Mom figure, I was just thankful that Jayden wasn't mad about the fact that her Mom 'didn't' know us that much. But, seeing my son happy is something that I wanted to see forever. Jayden is my life, he has my blood and he has our aspect.

He's the mixture of Lauren and me, whatever happens, he will be the most important kid in my entire life including our future kids and I can't wait for that to happen soon. I certainly miss my wife but here she is.

Jayden was talking about school, he wants to be in school already and he was asking permission from her. At the age of four, schools are hesitant to let them enroll because of their age but I know some schools wherein he could enroll if his Mom will allow her. I wouldn't want to enroll Jayden without her Mother's permission it just feels so wrong deciding by myself but this is the perfect time for it.

"So, you're like telling me that you wanted to enroll in Kindergarten?" She asked softly while she was playing shapes with Jayden. I was trying to fix some stuff but I'm also listening to them.

"Yes, Mommy! Dada and I went there last week to fetch Junwa. The kids there are so cool and they are so nice. They even ask me what my nationality is because of my eye color" he said excitedly while Lauren chuckled

"Hmm, how old are you again?" I knew she was pretending, I know this face a lot and she wanted to play around

"But mommy," he pouted and whined she laugh

"Well, I will allow you" his eyes lit up "But...before that did your dada allowed you already?" She asked while looking at me. I nodded already and she formed an 'O' to her mouth. I chuckled

'she certainly is Lauren' I mumbled to myself while Jayden was already jumping and kissing her face nonstop. How lucky that guy is, he gets to kiss my wife first but like I said I need to be patient with her. Seeing them happy also makes me happy and there's nothing in the world that would change it.

The day continued and Jayden fell dead asleep on the couch while Lauren was looking at the photo album that I bought a while ago. I was sitting beside her and telling the story behind the picture. When she turned the page our wedding picture was shown.

"Tell me?" She asked softly looking at my eyes and I nodded

"So, this is the date when we got married" I pointed to the date that was on the lower corner of the picture "Your wedding dress was designed by our mothers since it was an Arranged Marriage you wanted everything to be a surprise and I don't know if you like it but when you're walking in the aisle I can tell that you were nervous and you aren't sure if you will continue this or not because you're marrying a stranger and we could tell it in your face that you're weirded out by it" she hummed while looking at me "But to my surprise, you didn't back out. You continued the wedding and you are nervous at that time and you can't look at me straight to the eyes"

"It does feel weird when you're marrying a stranger" she mumbled while I chuckled she smiled "what happened next?"

"Well, the normal wedding. We exchanged vows  and put each other ring to our fingers and the rest is history" she nodded and smiled while I'm looking at her

"So, what happened right after our wedding?" She asked looking at the picture of us in Paris

"Well, your friends and I celebrated in your apartment. You instantly became friends with them because they like you" she furrowed her brows in confusion

"Don't we have like a reception?" She asked while I smiled

"No, we didn't have any reception. The reason behind it was that you don't want it and you don't want our marriage to be out of the media. Another thing is, you're trying to protect me because I'm a famous dancer and you also want to be private at the moment" she smiled

"From the very first day, I care about you already?" She asked while I blush

"Maybe or maybe not because you know when Mommy told me that you were supposed to back out to the wedding because when you knew that you'll be marrying a girl you wanted just to leave and never come back again" Her face fell "but Dad told you about my condition" she widened her eyes

"Are you ill?" She asked in surprised

"N-no, I'm not. Mommy ask you why you want to back out and your reason is you want to have a child, you want to have a baby and we all know that girl and girl can't have a baby together because you know our private parts are the same" she nodded confusedly

"So, we're both girls. How'd we have Jayden?"

"I'm Intersex," I said straightly, I don't know why but I'm confident saying this to her. Is it because she's my wife and I'm used to saying some dirty words to her.

"Intersex? What does that mean?" She asked in a confused tone while she also closed the photo album wanting to listen to what intersex is.

"Well, Intersex is used to describing a range of situations in which a person's reproductive or sexual anatomy does not fall neatly into the 'female' and 'male' category," I say while just looking at her not nervous that I'm saying this right in front of her. It feels like she didn't go into a coma and forgot me but seeing her so confused makes me smile

"So, you have a male reproductive system. Correct me if I'm wrong" She is Lauren. Smart.

"I do have a male reproductive system"

"I see, that's why we have Jayden" I nodded while she smiled

"Why'd you smile?" I asked in a curious tone

"I was just wondering how happy we are back then but I'm curious are we like planning how many kids that we want to have in the future?" She asked, I smiled at the thought and stood up in my chair to sit beside her which she gladly so I can have a space beside her. She cling into my arms and I couldn't help but smile.

"So, since you have a lot of business going you want your kids to handle it. We were planning to have four kids and I was so excited about it. Before you have an accident, you confessed to me that there's a chance that we might have twins because your Aunt from your mother side has a twin and there's a chance that you inherit it"

"So, we're having twins if we'd make one?" The question made me blush but I managed to answer

"Yes, we can have twins hopefully,"

"I hope we can," she rested her head on my shoulder while I smiled.

When she says the word 'hope' I feel like everything was going into the right place already. Everything is going back to normal and I couldn't be happier. My wife is back, she's coming back.

To be honest, the day when I knew that she was awake. I'm scared that she might push me away, I'm scared that she will deny that she has a wife and the horrible thing is she might don't want to see me ever again use I'm saying nonsense but to my surprise, it didn't happen in that way. She was just silent when I saw her again and even ask me how'd our marriage go.

Her attitude didn't change and I could tell that she accept me..us. Me and Jayden, I don't know what I will do if she didn't. It will break me but I'm thanking God again, she accepted me, and someday soon we will come back to a happy and complete family again.

Lauren decided to watch some movies with me, but she instantly fell asleep on my chest while I'm reading some reports and papers. I denied all the business trip that got me offered, the partnerships, and the good thing is my Dad and Kai was here to help me. Two years ago, my top priority is my wife and I can't just leave her alone. I can't and I have a child that needed to be checked out and taken care of. But now, I'm taking baby steps on everything. Now, that she's awake I can work in peace and I'm excited that I will be the one tutoring her when she decided to go back to work and get curious.

I was typing some notes on my laptop, Leslie and Dowon just came and they were surprised that  Lauren was asleep in my chest. They were happy about it, I had a small talk with them while Jayden was explaining to them how excited he is starting his school. They couldn't be happier.

They decided to leave after thirty minutes, they will be the ones attending the meeting for Lauren and planning to debut the girl group already. Suzy knows what to do, it seems like Lauren trained her pretty well. The Walton's was just thankful for her.

Jayden wanted to be with us so I quietly helped carry him. He kissed his Mom's cheek and lay down in between us while watching some cartoons on my phone. Everything just feels so right. I will never trade anything when it comes to both of them. They are my life, my everything, and my always. I kissed their heads and decided to have a little nap.

Lauren woke up a few hours ago, she was watching some cartoons with Jayden. The little boy was in her arms sharing the blanket with her. I ordered some take out making sure it will be healthy for my wife since Doctor Adams told me that Lauren should eat some healthy foods but she could also eat meat like chicken and beef as long as it goes well with some vegetables. Lauren doesn't mind at all, she looks so excited and happy eating some food.

"Sir, should I add some chicken breast to your salad?" The employee asked through the call

"Yeah, sure" I answered while also preparing the medicines for Lauren to drink later on.

"Okay, Thank you. We'll just deliver it in fifteen minutes"

"Alright, thank you" I hung up and looked at my two life giggling. I smiled and put the tray down on the table. I sat beside them and the door opened revealing doc Adams and his teams.

"Good Evening lovely family" He smiled genuinely

"Good Evening, Is there something you need?" I asked while Lauren and Jayden turn off the phone to listen

"Uh yes, so finally Miss. Lauren can finally have her very first therapy in two days. Her body is going back and it feels like it's time for her to see a physical therapist" He said, "Do your feet still hurt?" He asked my wife

"A bit, I wanted to try to stand up and walk again," she said, she was so sad whenever she wants to do something for herself but she can't.

"Well, that will probably change in two days. You'll see a Physical Therapist" She looks at me with her pouty lips

"Will you be there?" I could tell that she was scared while I smiled and rubbed her back

"Of course," I whispered and hug her from the side

"I guess that's settled if she succeeds in this stage she can go home and just continue to drink her medicine"

"Home?" She mumbled to me softly

I looked at her "Yes, sweetheart. Home. Our home" I said while she smiled and grip my shirt. She looks so cute.

'my cute baby'
