The So Mansion was alive. Nursery rhymes, Disney's princesses' and Barbie's songs and laughter continuously reverberated through the air. The F3 ladies were having so much fun. It was girls' day in today. The boys were not allowed to be at the mansion. They had to go out but were free to do whatever they want as long as it was PG. Alcohol and bars were forbidden of course. The kids were not supposed to be exposed to such yet, were they?

It was Jae Kyung who came up with the idea. She reasoned that she needed her girls' times. The first time she suggested it Woo Bin pouted and pretended to be hurt. "You don't want me near you? How could you? You don't love me anymore. Sniff. Sniff." The F2 and their family as well as Ji Hoo laughed out loud as Jae Kyung panicked and tried to coax her husband. Eun-Kyung rolled her eyes and shook her head at her parents' childishness.

They would usually alternate venues. The last one was at the So Mansion but at the requests of the kids, they had it here too this time. Next would be the Gu's even if Jan Di and Jun Pyo were yet to have a daughter.

"Wheeeee! Wheeeee!" Jae Kyung held little Jae Eun up and twirled a few times. The little girl laughed uncontrollably with her hands flailed up in the air. Ga Eul held Eun-Kyung's hands and they danced to the "Beauty and The Beast" song, while Jan Di made scary faces to Jae Hwa as she emulated the Beast. Jae Hwa shrieked while running around the room, trying to avoid being captured by Aunt Jan Di.

Today's activities started with a light yoga session in the morning sun outside in the So's magnificent garden followed by flowers picking. They then watched some videos from the Internet on how to make beautiful Ikebana arrangement from those flowers. It was one messy and tough session when the youngest lady of the group decided to join in on the fun and pulled out most of the already neatly arranged flowers and leaves from the vases. Ga Eul had to give her a small plastic vase and some flowers for her to make her own with the help from Eun-Kyung Unnie.

The finished Ikebana flowers were then put on the coffee tables of the living hall, the marble kitchen island top and the library's corner. Jae Eun's flowers got the highest honor. They were placed in Ga Eul's and Yi Jeong's huge master bedroom.

Next was the most awaited activity of all: cooking lesson. It was Jan Di's turn to play chef and teacher. She taught how to make her famous Doshirak with rice balls, sushi, egg rolls, boiled eggs, mini grilled franks, spicy grilled chicken and steamed vegetables. Everybody had to create a face on the rice balls. Jan Di obviously made Jun Pyo's, Ga Eul made Yi Jeong's, Jae Kyung made Woo Bin's, Jae Hwa made Uncle Ji Hoo's and Eun-Kyung made Dae-Hwan's. Little Jae Eun just squished her rice balls and made a mess, again, but she had the most fun of them all. Ga Eul made two more for Dae-Jung and Dae-Hyun, and Jan Di too, proceeded to make one each for her two sons Jung-Hee and Jung-Hwa. The Doshiraks were kept for the boys when they come back from their outing. The girls' hearty lunch was laced with stories and laughter.

After the delicious lunch, everybody gathered in the family living room for some rest. Little Jae Eun took her nap, as well as Jae Hwa and Eun-Kyung. The two elder girls sandwiched the smallest one on a thick comforter that Ga Eul laid out on the floor. The elder ladies sat on the couch and leisurely chat away while sipping their hot calming chamomile tea.

"That was a good lunch Jan Di, Ga Eul. I'm stuffed. My baby is stuffed too, are you baby? Are you baby? You are going to get fat at this rate." Jae Kyung rubbed her bulging tummy. She was due in about a month. Jan Di and Ga Eul laughed softly as she continued to baby-talk to her tummy.

"Unnie, are you sure you are going to go with this water birth? I heard that it's quite risky. Wouldn't you just have a normal birth?" Ga Eul asked over her cup of tea.

"Well, Eun-Kyung's was a normal birth and it hurt so much. So I want to try this water birth. Some mothers that I've talked to said that they felt less stressed when giving birth. Oh, our doctor confirmed that the baby and I are healthy and our conditions are alright for it. Of course there's a risk, but the normal one is not risk free too, right? As long as we have the doctor with us, we hope that it's going to be OK. Woo Bin is excited for it as well. He's been reading and watching a lot of videos on it that I think he can beat the doctors if you ask anything about water birth. Hey, pray for us arasso?"

"Unnie, you are so brave. Hmm. I might try that too." Jan Di was already imagining her next pregnancy and delivery. She hoped that she would get a girl.

"Jan Di? Are you pregnant?" Ga Eul's eyes widened as she turned to look at her best friend. She clasped a hand over her mouth since her voice was louder upon hearing Jan Di's words. They would not want to disturb the girls' nap. Jae Kyung too, held her palms pressed together. The Gus had been waiting for so long for a daughter. Jan Di's youngest son was already 10 years old.

"Shhh! I… I don't know yet but I'm two weeks late now." She blushed red. "Jan Di, did you follow the tips that I forwarded on how to get a girl?" Jae Kyung wiggled her eyebrows and gave Jan Di a teasing grin. "Unnie!" Jan Di blushed redder.

"I'm so excited if you do get a girl. Hey, remember. Woo Bin and I want your daughter to marry our son here. Oh baby, Omma is so happy." Jae Kyung patted her tummy again.

"Unnie." Both Jan Di and Ga Eul laughed at the elder woman. She was definitely something but they loved her nonetheless.

"Jan Di, you'd better take that test soon. Imagine how Jun Pyo Sunbae is going to react if you are pregnant."

"Yes, I'm afraid that he'll come up with so many rules like before. Don't do this, don't do that. Don't eat too much, don't lift anything heavy, don't walk too fast etc etc etc. He was so worried like I was going to fall if I take one step forward." Jan Di rolled her eyes thinking about Jun Pyo being overly protective during her previous pregnancies.

"Jun Pyo Sunbae just loves you very much." Ga Eul patted Jan Di's arms. Jae Kyung nodded in agreement. Jan Di heaved a sigh before smiling at the two ladies who always prayed for her best. She knew that too about Jun Pyo.

"Hmmm. Where do you think the boys go this time?" Jan Di wondered. "Oh. Hopefully they don't forget about Dae-Hwan this time. Oh my poor, poor godson," Jae Kyung placed her palm on her chest.

During the last boys' day out, they lost Dae-Hwan for about thirty long minutes at Shinhwa Mall. There was a luxury sports car exhibition at the Mall's center court. At that time, Dae-Hwan was with Yi Jeong. However, as they got to the cars, Yi Jeong thought that he gave Dae-Hwan to Dae-Hyun so that he could go and inspect the cars. Unfortunately he thought wrong. It seemed that sometimes in between admiring the cars and exchanging views with Woo Bin, Ji Hoo and Jun Pyo on the cars, he let go of Dae-Hwan's hand. It was only ten minutes later that he noticed that Dae-Hwan was not with his hyungs. Everybody panicked. Dae-Jung cried and Dae-Hyun tried to calm him down. Yi Jeong told the boys to stay with Uncle Ji Hoo while he, Woo Bin and Jun Pyo went to search for the missing boy.

Yi Jeong could not describe how he felt that whole time. He would not forgive himself if something bad happened to Dae-Hwan. Ga Eul would kill him for sure. He would kill him for sure too. How could he be so careless and forget his son? Woo Bin called his men for assistance while Jun Pyo went straight to the security room to check the CCTVs' recordings and monitors.

As he ran all over the place, there was an announcement. His heart thumped wildly as he listened attentively to the descriptions of a missing boy. He immediately ran to the place as announced, a famous toy store a few shops away from the center court. A staff found Dae-Hwan sleeping soundly among the many huge teddy bears displayed on the floor of the store. He was hugging one which was as big as him. Yi Jeong instantly hugged and lifted his youngest son up, kissing all over his face. Dae-Hwan woke up and granted Appa his cute grin. "Appa, Hwannie got tired and sleep here. Teddy is soft, Appa. Hwannie love Appa. Appa, can Hwannie have him?" Dae-Hwan pointed to the soft toy that he hugged earlier and then kissed Appa's cheeks. Yi Jeong wiped his tears away and chuckled. He nodded. He would do anything for his son. With Dae-Hwan still in his arms, he then thanked the staff and paid for the teddy bear. Dae-Hwan was all smiles as he hugged the teddy bear. The group was so relieved but feared of what the ladies were going to say once they knew about the incident.

Ga Eul's face reddened as Yi Jeong told them when they got back at home. She kept quiet the whole time. She then handed little Jae Eun to Jan Di and took Dae-Hwan from Yi Jeong's arms, and went straight to the boy's bedroom. Everybody was surprised at her reaction. She lied on the bed with Dae-Hwan and hugged him tight. The men got a full load of lectures and scolding from Jan Di and Jae Kyung. Jae Hwa hugged Eun Kyung while Dae-Jung held Dae-Hyun's hand tightly. Jung-Hee and Jung-Hwa kept quiet. They had never seen Aunt Ga Eul like that.

Ga Eul gave Yi Jeong a cold treatment for two days. She still did her routine but never talked to him. She just kept quiet and spent more time with Dae-Hwan and Jae Eun. She never left Dae-Hwan alone for more than ten minutes. Yi Jeong was dying of guilt and he missed his wife terribly. He missed her smiles and sweet voice. He missed her calling his name. He apologized for he did not know how many times, but she remained silent. He was getting crazy. She was killing him.

It was the two elder children who came to his rescue. They could not stand it any longer. They felt sad that Appa was sad. They too became worried that Omma refused to talk to Appa. Hence, they decided to step in and made Omma talked to Appa in their presence. Yi Jeong apologized again and promised never to repeat the mistake. Once was too many a times. He had learned his lesson well. He too would not forgive himself on what had happened. Jae Hwa defended Appa and said that Appa regretted that it happened and they should be grateful that Hwannie was not lost. Hwannie was safe with them now. Dae-Hyun added that Appa was the most worried that day. Appa did Appa's best to find Hwannie. Thus Omma should not be angry at Appa for so long.

Yi Jeong looked at Ga Eul with hopeful sad eyes. He prayed that she would listen to their children. Ga Eul then surprised him when she suddenly hugged him and cried. She repeatedly apologized for hurting him and making him sad with her reactions when he had obviously found her son back. She said that she was too shocked at what happened and was terrified at the thought of losing her son. She apologized that she wrongly channeled her fear by being angry at Yi Jeong and treated him as so. They cried on each other's shoulders. The children then hugged their parents. Everything was at last fine again.

Ga Eul sighed at the remembrance of the incident. She glanced at the sleeping girls. Every night she prayed that her sons and daughters, as well as the others were well and safe.

"Oh, excuse me ladies. Nature calls and I need to freshen up before the girls wake up. Dance time after this." With Ga Eul's help, Jae Kyung stood up with some difficulties. She was really heavy. Jan Di and Ga Eul followed suit.

"Unnie, Jae Eun is quite big and heavy now. You need to be careful." Ga Eul glanced over to Jae Kyung who was still twirling the little girl. "I'm alright Ga Eul. This is fun, right Eunnie? Wheeee!" "Wheeeee. Wheeee. Wheeee." Jae Eun mimicked Aunt Jae Kyung and continued to giggle and laugh.

"Well, well, well. Having fun without us I see." Jun Pyo walked through the door with his hands on his hips. The rest of the group was behind him. The boys just came back from their own excursions.

"Appa. Oppa. Oppa. Oppa. Appa." Jae Eun stretched her chubby little hands towards Yi Jeong while the other ladies all had wide smiles.

The F3 went and kissed their respective wife while Ji Hoo went straight to Jae Hwa and Eun-Kyung. The two girls gave him a hug. The boys followed Uncle Ji Hoo. Yi Jeong then took Jae Eun from Jae Kyung and kissed his daughter's round cheeks. The little girl kissed Appa's cheeks too and poked Appa's deep dimples.

The whole group then continued to dance. The pairings were Ji Hoo with Eun-Kyung, Woo Bin with Jae Hwa, Yi Jeong with Jae Eun, Jun Pyo with Jan Di, Jae Kyung with Jung-Hwa, Ga Eul with Jung-Hee and Dae-Hwan, and Jae Kyung with Dae-Hyun and Dae-Jung. After a song, they switched partners.

Three songs later Dae-Hyun was about to take Eun-Kyung's hands when someone shoved him. He nearly fell. It was Jae Hwa. She then pushed him towards Aunt Jan Di, much to his annoyance, not that he did not like to dance with Aunt Jan Di. He had not had the chance to get close to Eun-Kyung since the dance started. Jung-Hwa then danced with Eun-Kyung Noona and Jae Hwa with Jung-Hee. Dae-Hyun threw daggers glare at his sister but she pretended not to see it.

It was fun but everybody was exhausted. The women then ordered everybody to take a shower and changed for dinner. Dinner was a feast. The men and boys got their Doshirak as well. The food was delicious. They exchanged stories about their activities for the day. The boys went to a few places; a miniature golf park, horse riding, archery range, go-kart track and Shinhwa Mall. They had a lot of fun too.

Dae-Hwan, being the most innocent and honest, mentioned that they attracted a lot of attention from girls and women everywhere they went, especially at the Mall. What women and girls would not be dazzled, mesmerized and awed at the sight of the group of handsome rich F4 of South Korea with their equally handsome and adorable boys, and without their ladies at that? The women and girls had to grab this rare chance.

Dae-Hwan told them that some Aunties said hi and hello to Appa and his three Uncles. They gave him chocolates and candies. There were also some Noonas who gave him, Dae-Jung and Jung-Hwa hyungs pieces of papers containing their telephone numbers to pass to Dae-Hyun and Jung-Hee hyungs.

Woo Bin and Yi Jeong pretended to scold the little guy for spilling out their 'secrets'. "We men don't break our brothers' code, Hwannie. That's lesson number one," as Woo Bin stated. Dae-Hwan was near to tears for being 'scolded' making Woo Bin and Yi Jeong to quickly apologize. Ga Eul gave her husband a frown while Jae Kyung pinched Woo Bin's thigh for teasing the child.

Jae Hwa then stood up, hands on her hips and 'warned' the elder men, except for Uncle Ji Hoo, not to go around and flirt with other women if they do not want to receive her smack-downs. Everybody laughed. She was surely protective of her Omma and Aunts. As for her Oppas, she said that the Unnies need to pass through her first before they can go to Dae-Hyun and Jung-Hee. Jung-Hwa elbowed his Jung-Hee hyung as they listened to Jae Hwa's warning. Jung-Hee shrugged his shoulders and grinned widely. His eyes never left Jae Hwa.

Eun-Kyung on the other hand was quiet. She eyed Dae-Hyun who was laughing with the rest. There were some worries in her expression. He caught her looking at him and gave her a smile that was becoming more like Appa's. Her cheeks instantly warmed up, embarrassed to be caught in the act. She looked everywhere but him.

After dinner everybody gathered in the family living room again. The boys and girls played some card games, noisily, while the elders sat on the sofa. They talked about anything but business. It was a mutual agreement that family day meant family day. No business talks were allowed. Ji Hoo had Jae Eun on his laps. He was her godfather. Jae Eun began to suck her thumb as Mr. Sleep came to greet her. Ga Eul wanted to take her from him but he insisted to hum her to dreamland.

"Ommaaa… Hwannie fell asleep." Jae Hwa called Omma. The elders all turned to look at the children. There he was, lying on his stomach. His head rested on his folded arms and faced his right side. "I think that's our cue. It's time to go back everybody." Woo Bin chuckled at the sight of his chubby godson.

"Appa, Omma, can Jung-Hwa and I sleep over?" Jung-Hwa nodded vigorously in agreement with Jung-Hee's request. "I want to sleep here too Omma, Appa. Can I?" Eun-Kyung battered her eyes at her parents. It was a trick that she learned years ago. She knew that Woo Bin would never say no when she did that. She learned it from the best; her Omma.

The elders looked at each other. Jun Pyo wiggled his eyebrows at Jan Di while grinning widely, causing her to roll her eyes and lightly slapped his forearms. Jae Kyung and Woo Bin nodded to each other while Ji Hoo, Yi Jeong and Ga Eul waited for the two couples' answers.

"But boys, you don't have extra clothes. Omma brought just enough until tonight."

"Awww Omma? Why? It's been a while since we slept over." Jung-Hwa was a little upset and pouted. He looked exactly like Jun Pyo except with straight hair like Jan Di.

"You too Sweetheart. And don't you have your chess class tomorrow? Maybe next time," said Jae Kyung to her daughter. Eun-Kyung pouted. "The class is postponed to next week. Mr. Oh is out of town." She disappointingly lowered her head. Jae Hwa held her Unnie's hands to comfort her.

"Aunt Jan Di, Uncle Jun Pyo, Jung-Hee can wear my shirts and pants. We're about the same size and Jung-Hwa can wear Dae-Jung's or mine. I think Jae-Hwa's clothes may fit Eun-Kyung, Aunt Jae Kyung, Uncle Woo Bin. Please?" Dae-Hyun pressed his palms together as he offered a suggestion. All the kids followed and gave their cutest pleading faces though Ga Eul did not miss the crimson hues that crept on Eun-Kyung's cheeks.

Ji Hoo laughed softly. "Look at those adorable faces. All of you are so doomed. Hahahaha." Ga Eul and Yi Jeong joined in with the laughs.

"What about your toothbrush? And underwear? You are not going to share too, are you?" Jae Kyung nonchalantly asked. The girls blushed while the boys stiffened. They never thought of that. The elders cocked their eyebrows and stifled their laughter at the children's reactions.

"…"

Feeling that the children had 'suffered' long enough from the question, Ga Eul came to their rescue. "Don't worry kids. We have a lot of spares and disposables." Relief was instantly evident on the kids' faces. They pleaded again.

"Oh, OK." "Alright. Alright. Alright." The four elders agreed at last.

"Yes!" "Yaayyyyy!" "We love you Omma, Appa." "Thank you Appa, Omma." The children cheered, a bit too loudly that they startled little Jae Eun who had just fallen asleep. "Omma. Omma. Eunnie. Omma." She cried and searched for her Omma. Yi Jeong quickly took her from Ji Hoo, kissed her forehead and passed her to Ga Eul. Ga Eul patted her youngest child back to sleep, but she continued to cry. "Please excuse me for a while. I'll be back soon. Don't leave before saying goodbyes, arasso?" said Ga Eul. Yi Jeong kissed her cheek and she then left. She went to the guest room next to their mini library to feed the little one. Yi Jeong then approached Dae-Hwan. His little guy was not going to sleep there, was he?

"So, do we come and get you tomorrow? What time?" Jun Pyo asked his sons.

"Jun Pyo, we can send them home. Say around 3? Then we'll send Eun-Kyung." Yi Jeong suggested while patting Dae-Hwan's back. The boy mumbled something in his sleep but nobody could make out what it was. He must be having a dream.

"OK." "No problem bro." "Thanks Yi Jeong Sunbae." "Take care of my daughter OK?"

"Right. OK kids. Go get your bags. We'll take them home tonight." Jan Di clapped her hands as she ordered the children. They scrambled and ran upstairs to get their bags of dirty clothes.

"They really love to sleep here." Ji Hoo commented as they waited for the children to come down. He could imagine that his children, if and when he had any, would be like the rest. He heaved a silent sigh as he wondered when that time would be.

"Ga Eul and I love having them here too. They are so much fun. Oh, you should see the staffs whenever everybody is here. The kids love having a telematch with them. Ahjussi Kim is the referee." Yi Jeong laughed as he recalled some funny moments among the children and his house staffs.

The children came down the stairs, practically running, at the same time as Ga Eul came out of the guest room. Little Jae Eun was sound asleep in her arms. Ga Eul placed her index finger at her lips. The children then did the same and tip-toed towards the awaiting elders. Ga Eul giggled softly at their reactions. The children were really cute.

There was a short drama between Jan Di and Jun Pyo. Jun Pyo patted his sons' shoulders for requesting to sleep over. He told them that they should do it more often so that he could be alone with their Omma. Jan Di overheard him and that started a bickering session between them. She accused him of 'separating' her sons from her. The others laughed at their fight. It was a common sight. The littlest thing and issue could trigger a bicker between them.

The children waved goodbye to the leaving parents after giving them hugs and kisses and promising to behave. Yi Jeong and Ga Eul again promised to take care of the children, not that the others did not believe them. All of them then went back into the house.

Dae-Hwan did not want to wake up. Dae-Hyun offered to carry his brother upstairs but Yi Jeong and Ga Eul then decided that they did not want to further disturb his sleep. He must have been too tired after a long day full of activities. So they suggested that everybody slept in the living room, much to the children's delight. It was going to be like camping, without the bonfire of course. The boys helped to bring down some thick comforters and blankets, and the girls, the pillows. They pushed a few chairs to the walls to make some room. Yi Jeong, Ga Eul and Jae Eun would take the guest room. The elder So did not want to leave the children downstairs on their own even if the staff rooms were near, at one wing of the mansion. Yi Jeong gave one baby monitor to Dae-Hyun and reminded his eldest son to alert them whenever the children feel scared or if anything happened. They then kissed each child on the forehead and cheek and said goodnight.

Yi Jeong and Ga Eul sandwiched their little princess on the king sized bed, facing each other. Yi Jeong caressed his wife's soft smooth cheek gently. He then leaned forward and planted a kiss on her lips, careful not to squish the little girl in between them.

"I love you Jagiya. Did you have fun today? Did you miss me?" He softly asked as he played with her hair.

Ga Eul nodded and smile at her husband. "I love you Honey. Did you have fun too? I missed you very much. What about you? Did you miss me too?" She touched his dimpled cheek and he closed his eyes to savor her gentle touch.

"Yes, I had fun with the boys, but I missed you more." He took her hand and kissed the tip of each finger. Ga Eul's breath hitched. "I miss these fingers holding my hands and touching me." His eyes locked on hers. There were love and desire in his eyes.

"Yi Jeong, Honey…" She felt the temperature in the room arisen.

He then sat up and went out of bed. She creased her eyebrows. She too, sat up and watched him. Where was he going? He went to lock the door and walked to the closet. He then took some pillows and placed them near the edge on his side of the bed, making some sort of wall. Next, he lifted little Jae Eun and shifted her next to the pillows wall. He then put three more pillows on her other side to secure her. Ga Eul raised her eyebrows. Her heart thumped faster and wilder.

Yi Jeong gave her his hard-to-resist heart-melting smile. He crawled onto the bed and lied next to her. He gently pulled her down and put a hand on her waist. "I miss you Jagiya,'' and claimed her soft lips. Ga Eul responded with equal fervor.

She reluctantly parted her lips from his as she needed some air in her burning lungs. "Honey, wait..." His forehead wrinkled in worry as he looked at her. "What's wrong Jagiya? Did I hurt you?" She shook her head. "I… I have to tell you something. It's important." She was panting hard, short of breath from his attacks.

"What is it? Is it about the children?"

"No." She looked into his puzzled and worried eyes. She then surprised him with a long kiss, to which he was more than happy to return. He instinctively hovered over her, not releasing his lips from hers. Her initial plan was to kiss him to ease his worry but instead, when he kissed her back, all her senses fled her away.

"Honey… wait. I need to tell you the news first." She said against his lips when he stopped for air. "That news can wait Chu Ga Eul. The news right now is I want to love you. Now." He continued with his showers of kisses, gentleness and more.

Two hours later, cuddled in each other's arms, Yi Jeong had a sated smile on his face. He gave her a light kiss on the cheek.

"I love you Jagiya," he whispered to her ears.

"Ditto, Honey."

"So what is this news that you need to tell me?" He blew into her ears. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She then opened her eyes.

"Honey," Ga Eul took his hand and placed it on her stomach. "You are going to be Appa again."

"What?" Yi Jeong abruptly sat up, startling her. His eyes widened as he looked at his wife. He then looked at their pretty sleeping little girl next to them, and back at her. He blinked his eyes repeatedly.

Ga Eul sat up too. "Honey, please say something. Are… are you upset with the news? With me?" Why was he quiet? Was he not happy with the news? Tears started to gather in her eyes.

He still did not say anything but looked into her eyes.

Ga Eul's tears fell with his silence. "Honey, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect it to happen since Eunnie is still small but… and my ova… Do you want me to …"

"No! Jagiya. No! Don't you ever say or even think about it. No! I will never allow you to do so." He embraced her tight. She cried even more.

"Jagiya, I'm sorry to make you think that I don't want it. I was just surprised. I didn't expect it to be this soon but it's a miracle Jagiya. The baby's a miracle. I'm already in love with our baby here." He put one hand on her tummy and caressed it softly. "I love you Jagiya. Thank you for loving me so much and giving me beautiful wonderful children."

He leaned back and held her shoulders. She looked at him, her eyes were red. Tears still trailed down from her beautiful eyes. He felt guilty for making her cry. He then lowered his head and pressed his lips on hers, softly and gently.

"Babies…." Ga Eul corrected the man who stole and forever held captive of her heart.

"What? What did you just say?" His eyes widened. Did he hear her wrong?

"Babies. Twins. Honey, we're having twins."

Yi Jeong's jaw dropped. Twins? Never in his life that he expected to have twins. None of his relatives that he knew of had the history of twins in the family. How could it be possible?

"Twins. How did this happen? No. I'm sorry. How… how far along are you, Jagiya?" He wiped her tears away with his thumbs.

"Two months. I had the test yesterday at the hospital when I took the kids for their check-ups. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you last night. You were so tired from work that I didn't want to disturb you."

"You are not going to disturb me with this wonderful news Jagiya." He kissed her forehead. "Is that why you have this beautiful glow these past months? You look sexier too. I have to control myself every time I'm near you." Ga Eul's felt her cheeks warmed up and lightly hit his arm. Her husband just laughed at her respond.

"But I don't see you having any morning sickness like when you were with the others?"

"Yes, I don't have it. The doctor said that each pregnancy is different but I'm not complaining." Ga Eul smiled and continued, "The babies are miracles, Honey and I love them with all my heart."

He nodded a few times. "Yes they are."

Yi Jeong recalled the ill-fated incident years ago before they got married. She had lost her right ovary from the attack ordered by jealous insane women that he once bedded. That wild life of his past was one of his deepest regrets. He wished that he could erase it from his life.

It is true what people say. God may take away one important thing from your life but the loss that you think is so hurtful and unfair will be replaced by something far more valuable than you can imagine. It is just a matter of what, when and how. In the case of Ga Eul, she may have lost one ovary that theoretically reduced her chance of having children. She too, was so closed to losing Yi Jeong because of it. But God had the best plan. She was blessed with the many children who filled her life with joy, laughter and love.

"So the babies and I are going to have the same birth month then." He smiled wider at the wonderful thought.

"The same date as you Honey, if the doctor's calculation is correct."

"Really? That is so wonderful. My birthday presents. The best birthday presents. Thank you Jagiya." He kissed her forehead.

"Did the children and others know?"

She shook her head. "I want you to be the first."

He embraced her again. "This calls for a celebration." He smiled and winked at her. Ga Eul gulped as she saw that familiar glint in his eyes and felt his palms caressed her shoulders and down to her waist, sending shivers and goose bumps all over her body.

"Honey…"

He gently pushed her down on the bed, kissed her passionately and drowned her with love.
