Chapter 49

I open my eyes to take in the situation I am in. Tori is utterly in love cuddling Kang on the couch. I have a blanket on me, my belly is full and Tae is rubbing my feet. He must feel bad for leaving me like this for so long. I can't say that I hate it either. For the past few hours he has done everything to make up for it. I know this bliss needs to halt for a moment, I need answers before I get too comfortable. I also need to share some things with my new found baby committee. 

I clear my throat, and everyone looks at me. In English, I start. "Baby B is not getting enough nutrients so I will be closely monitored and possibly have to deliver early. I am supposed to be on bed rest. I already called my manager and I will just be working one night a week." 

Tae Woo is looking confused, I know he doesn't speak much English. Before I can restate anything for him Kang translates flawlessly. 

Tori speaks first, "Are you sure the babies are fine?" I nod my head. They both are well, just B is smaller than A. 

Tae bites his lip, he is sitting on the floor at my feet. He reaches up for my hand. "Please quit your job, I have been saving up enough money and I have about 6 months off. Let me take care of you." 

The base of my stomach flutters at his assertiveness. I'm tired of being strong. I all too easily want to give up and let him take over. I just don't know if I can trust him. 

Kang cuts in, "How do you have 6 months off?" Tae rubs the back of his neck and I see his bicep muscle flex and I immediately feel my panties dampen. This must be the work of the pregnancy, not my actual feelings. 

"When I came back to Korea, I made a deal with the manager. I would give my all and bring a lot of attention to the band. When everyone goes on military leave I will get a 6 month break and then release a solo album. 

"What is with the girlfriend then?" Thankful for Kangs serious interrogation even though I'm sure he now knows the answer. Kang whispers into Tori's ear. I'm guessing a translation but then she blushes and I look away. 

"She was a part of the deal, they wanted a secret relationship to bolster the number of fans interested in both groups." He turns towards me. "Rina I never would do anything to hurt you. I didn't even think you would know about it let alone be pregnant. I was so stupid. I never did anything with her, it was all just acting." I nod my head taking in all of the new information. 

"What are you going to do about your children?" I need to come up with a present for Kang with all of these amazing questions. 

Tae looks into his lap, "I haven't figured that part out yet but I will. I will take care of you Rina, and our children. Don't worry about that." I start to make preliminary decisions in my head. I might have to follow him to Korea. He hasn't finished his contract. How can he hide us though? People are bound to notice he has two kids. I take a deep breath. I'll leave it to Tae. Even though my heart wavers my brain already knows that he is a good man and I trust him.
