Ah, Do You Have to Go?

In truth, when it came to the pregnancy, I felt nothing beyond thinking it was bound to happen.

…Actually, considering Seojin and I had been doing it almost every night lately, I even thought it had happened a little late.

Seojin and I had held back so much even after giving birth, telling ourselves, “Just in case.” We figured it was probably safe by now—and we’d gone right back to what we’d been doing early last year, before condoms or anything like that.

Of course, we couldn’t just do it recklessly like we had back then. Unlike then, Winter was here.

Winter hadn’t suddenly grown up enough to be independent after a dozen years or so; she was still a baby who hadn’t even turned one and needed constant care. So we did it while keeping ourselves in check, but….

Seojin’s sex drive was intense, but I’d also started to enjoy having sex, unlike before….

We definitely spent less time at it each time, but we did it more often, so I didn’t think the total was all that different from back then.

…Without birth control.

So when I started feeling morning sickness again and found out about my second pregnancy, I wasn’t as shocked as I had been the first time.

…At least, I was sure it was nothing compared to the shock of seeing the paper in front of me now...
