Petra looked at him with a slight scowl on her face. She didn't say anything and chime in to join the reading contest.
'I don't know how you're gonna feel about this but...am pregnant. Sebastian, I know this sounds awkward but....do me a favor.'
"Anything sweetheart." He grinned and scan to the next line.
'There are onesies inside the box, the number of the onesies, is the number of baby in my womb.'
Petra and her son glare at each other with joyful smiles. Sebastian handed the card to her and started fishing out the onesie.
While he was doing that, Petra was busy counting and squealing. This joy is too much for her to bear and she's very much afraid it might kill her from high excitement.
"One...two...three...four..." Their eyes widen even more when the last one was brought out, "Five!"
"Oh my God, quintuplets?!" The toddlers onesies was of pandas cubs and chicken.
"Sebastian, look here, it states more." Petra took the t-shirts and baseball caps. The t-shirts was five with different colors with tags written on them. 'Loading...soon to be daddy.' Alongside with babies footprints.
Each t-shirts was having genders. A boy, a boy, a girl, a boy and a girl. The baseball caps has a bronze attachment at the upper area which has a 'Loading best dad.' Tag on it.
Petra threw her hands in her mouth. She was confused whether to cry or rejoice. Sebastian whom was still stuck in the excitement, pulled her in a embrace.
"This is like a dream come true, Sebastian. She's pregnant with quintuplets and am gonna be a soon to be grandma of quintuplets."
"Yes I know, am very much excited than you are, mother. I am surprised and amazed."
"We have to call her right now." Petra called her on video call.
"Hi Aunt, you–wait a minute, why are you crying? Seb?" She panicked. "Is everything alright?"
"You outstruck us darling. Seriously you did. Am...am fucking speechless right now. We are having babies my love!" He grinned.
Jin-joo burst into laughter, "How was it? Surprising, right? Anyway I had to do it that way because I felt that's just the only way to let you know about it."
"How I wish you were right here beside me, I would have hugged you tight like we used to." He sighed. He wanted to see her in person. He's not liking the feeling of her over there and him here. Lovers are to be together, right? So why the distance relationship?
"I know how bad you miss me and I do the same too."
"Jin, how is my grandbabies doing in there? Tell them...tell them grandma is here waiting for them."
Stroking her stomach, she chuckled, "Of course I will." Pausing for a while, she sighed in dejection, "But..." She helplessly shook her head.
Sebastian panicked, "What is it my love? Is everything okay?"
"Of course not Sebastian, everything seems better a bit but am scared."
"Scared about what?"
"Am afraid Dong-Hyun said it's a high-risk pregnancy and I should be very careful with precautions." She sighed and added, "Seb, am just twelve weeks pregnant. Last week, Dong-Hyun did the ultrasound and we fished out the gender and the babies health is doing perfectly fine but..."
"Honey, listen to me, nothing is going to happen to you and our babies, okay? Just stay indoor and don't go out." He was very cautious with her and the babies.
"Yes I know. All these happened so quickly, right? And my father? I don't know what he's going to do when he finds out about my pregnancy."
"Have you told him yet?" Petra panickly inquired.
Jin-joo nodded, "The only persons who are aware about this is just you, Sebastian and Dong-Hyun. Mom and the others are just novice on this. I had to force Dong-Hyun to keep it a secret until Seb is aware."
"Honey, do me a favor. Stay indoors. Don't accommodate too many pals this time around. I'll speak with Dong-Hyun later but right now don't go out, except you want a check-up. Whatever you need, just tell me. And I'll post them right to you."
"But Seb–"
Cutting her off, Petra added, "My dear, I know how scared you are but believe me. Am a mother and I can tell that everything is going to be fine with you and my grandbabies."
Jin-joo didn't say a word and took a deep breath. She wished and hoped.
"I'll send some text of what you should have everyday since your mom is not aware yet and even if was, I do have still sent them." She grinned. "Am not the only one becoming a grandma, right?"
