As soon as his eyes cracked open the next morning Jungkook had pushed himself from the bed with a choked groan. His stomach lurched and his instincts propelled him out of the bedroom to the bathroom just down the hall. His knees hit the tiled floor just as he emptied his stomach, an awful lurch of his insides as he coughed into the bowl. A heavy hand curled around the back of neck and he sighed, the tension in his shoulders relaxed as Taehyung settled on the floor behind him.

"Easy, darling," he said quietly as he stroked a hand down his spine, "don't hold it in." Jungkook could only whine as he leaned back over the bowl. He'd had bouts of nausea for the last week or so but always during the day, usually when a certain smell or taste didn't agree with him. Of course even though it was expected that didn't mean the idea of morning sickness wasn't a pleasant one. "Do you feel better?" The alpha asked but Jungkook could only groan and sag against the toilet, the porcelain cool against his suddenly clammy skin. The blonde stood up and Jungkook listened as the water turned on and off before he knelt back down, a wet washcloth between his fingers. "Can you sit up for me?"

Gentle fingers wiped off his face and pushed his hair out of his eyes; the alpha always took care of him so well, he thought with a small smile. "Thank you, Tae." He said when his mate gave him a look, and he only got a kiss to the cheek and a soft laugh in response.

"This is nothing, darling." Taehyung said lowly, he reached out to help the omega to his feet and wrapped his arms around his waist as he sluggishly brushed his teeth. "You're carrying our baby, Jungkook," he kissed over the mate mark on his neck, where his own bite was clearly seen above his old mess of scars, "the coddling is only gonna get more extreme." Jungkook laughed around his toothbrush and leaned back into his chest. They fell silent as Taehyung took his place when he was done, already too awake to go back to bed again, and shuffled their way to the kitchen. "Are you hungry?" He asked as he cracked open the fridge but Jungkook shook his head.

"Don't think I could keep it down." He said shrugged and his alpha nodded and moved to grab him some water. Jungkook watched him move around silently as he shoved bread into the toaster, grabbed a couple cups for both of them. One hand drifted down to rub at the barely there swell of his stomach, and then his thoughts were suddenly overcome with what had happened the night before. Even if they set aside the things they still needed to talk about there was the issue of who the fuck had popped into their house last night. His brow furrowed at the memory of the woman, the woman he had thought he knew.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Jungkook startled and his head snapped up to see Taehyung's concerned face as he leaned over the counter. "What?"

"You looked like you were in pain." His hand stretched out to squeeze his free hand on the cold counter top and the alpha's head tilted in thought. "What's wrong?" Jungkook hadn't even noticed that the toaster had already popped, the slightly burnt pieces already in between them just the way his alpha liked.

"I worked with her." He started, and Taehyung's eyes narrowed. It was obvious who he was referring to and his mate circled around to take the stool next to his. "She'd worked there months longer than me, she trained me on how to use everything- I didn't even know ." He cut himself off with a huff and turned to frown at the older man. "Please tell me that was just a coincidence."

Taehyung chewed on his lip for a second as he thought before he shook his head. "I think I can say with some certainty that it wasn't a coincidence." His long fingers idly broke apart the bread and as he slowly chewed he continued. "I didn't say anything last night because we were both already so exhausted, mentally and physically, but she didn't actually make me have a vision." Jungkook blinked in shock but didn't say anything, the hand on his stomach rubbed across his hips almost instinctively. "It was more of a...conversation?" He started to explain but he slowly trailed off as his eyes caught the small movement.
