"And it's been happening every day for about twenty minutes for a whole week," I complain to April at my next appointment.

"That's irritating, but don't worry. Hiccups are completely normal during pregnancy. Your diaphragm is being compressed to make room for the baby and you're taking in more air than normal," she reassures me. "Has the baby been hiccuping at all?"

"A little," I respond.

She smiles. "At least you're going through it together."

Two weeks before our tour, I get a phone call from my sister.

"Tori, haven't spoken to you in a while!"

"Hi, Taehyung. How are you?"

"Okay, how are you?"

"No like... how's the pregnancy going? Give me details." She sounds stressed.

"Um... I still feel sick every now and then and my back hurts a lot but it's pretty good."

"I know all that already. Tell me something only you would know." Now she just sounds frustrated.

"I don't know..." I think for a while. "I get hiccups a lot."

"Taehyung I'm pregnant."

I almost drop my phone. "What? Are you serious? Congratulations! How long have you known?"

"Three months."

"A whole three months and you didn't tell me?"

"Whoops."

"I'm assuming it's Hoseok's."

"Yeah. I told him like five minutes ago."

"I can't believe you kept it to yourself for that long."

"Me neither."

"Well, maybe they'll finally let you guys see each other now."

The second I get off the phone, Hoseok bursts into my room.

"Did Tori tell you?" he asks.

I nod. "I'll give you the friend reaction first." I get up off the bed to hug him. "Congratulations! Now for the brother reaction." I pull away and slap him on the arm. "What the hell, dude, you sleep with my sister one time in years and you manage to get her pregnant? Did you even use protection?"

"Did you?" he raises his eyebrows.

I roll my eyes. "Different. I take that to mean you didn't."

Hoseok shifts from foot to foot. "Well, neither of us really had any, and we weren't going to waste our time together, so, like..."

"You just risked it?"

Hoseok's whole face flushes red. "Yeah."

I laugh. "I can't believe you're going to be my niece or nephew's dad."
