~~ What if Jin was actually Night's son from a previous relationship? What if she got pregnant in high school from her abusive ex?~~

She sobbed into her mother's arms, her face and body covered in bruises. The fifteen-year-old went through something no one should, keeping quiet about it so as to not worry her family. The last thing she needed was them to worry. But, such things didn't last long as she soon got sick, her mother having a terrible gut feeling.

She was pregnant.

In high school.

Night sobbed and begged, begged for it to be but a bad dream she'd wake up from. Her older brother, red with anger, grabbed his coat, going for the door.
"Alex, mijo, don't." Their mother warned, holding her distressed daughter against her chest.
"Mamá, I can't just sit back while this pendejo goes free! He hurt her, he got her pregnant, I'm going to kill him!" Alex spoke angrily, throwing his coat on. Alice twitched an eyebrow and stroked blonde hair, taking in a breath.
"We will handle this with the police, mijo. Take your coat off and sit down-"
"Police won't do shit, mamá! I'm taking matters into-
"¡Alejandro Frederick, siéntate ahora mismo! Manejamos esto a través de la policia y ayudamos a tu hermana. ¿Estoy claro?"

Alex flinched when his mother used his name the way she did, sighing and nodding as he sat down next to his sister.
"Sí mamá..." He mumbled, pulling Night over to himself so he could hold her himself. That bastard was going to pay for what he did...

~~~

Night didn't have the heart to terminate her pregnancy.

The teen went through with the whole thing and watched with a smile as her best friend stood with her through it all.
"Ay, he's so active today..." Night groaned as she held her stomach, her Senior best friend next to her with a smile.
"He's just happy! I still can't believe you're having a boy. I can't wait to spoil him!" The lavender-haired teen said happily, staring at her with a loving gaze. Night looked up from her lunch and tilted her head, finishing her bite.
"Hartz, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Because I'm staring at a very beautiful girl at the moment."

Ah yes, Hartz Dread, a massive flirt. The blonde blinked and then snorted, shaking her head with a laugh.
"Oh honey, you're cute. I look like shit right now, how dare you say I'm beautiful."
"Baby, you always look beautiful to me no matter what. Why do you think I asked you out?"
"Pity?"
"You're terrible. No, I asked you out because you're beautiful and deserve love and happiness." Hartz smiled, reaching across the table and holding her hand. The younger teen smiled softly and laughed, squeezing his hand gently.
"Oh, I love you..."
"I love you too, my beautiful girl..."

~~~

Night grit her teeth as tears poured down her cheeks, the contractions on her frail body crippling.
"Duele mucho, mamá..." She whined, curled up on her side as Alice stroked her hair gently.
"Oh, lo sé hermoso. Pero lo estás haciendo muy bien, mija." The older woman smiled softly, kissing her head. Night smiled slightly back, holding her aching stomach as her boyfriend rubbed soothing circles into her back.
"I wish brother was here..." The teen mumbled, sniffling.

Alex was currently in jail, serving a six month sentence after defying his mother and giving his little sister's asshole of an ex a piece of his mind. And his fists. The older teen ended up putting him in the hospital. Despite evidence and a confession, he still assaulted a minor, landing him in handcuffs and behind bars.
"Oh mija, you know he'd be here if he could. He doesn't get out for another two weeks." Alice told her, looking down sadly. She knew Alex meant a lot to her, so it hurt twice as much when she called out for him.
"Knock knock, how are we doing in here?" A nurse asked when she walked in, strolling over to check on the young mother's vitals.
"Hurt..." Night mumbled softly, finally recovering from the difficult contraction.
"Oh, I know sweetie. You're getting closer to the time to deliver, you're just not quite ten centimeters yet."
"How much longer do you think?" Hartz asked curiously.
"Well, that truly depends. She's been progressing pretty quickly for women in labor, so it can be anywhere between an hour or five. It's kind of guesswork at this point."

Night grunted, feeling the small kicks from her unborn son. Another one to five hours before she could push? Pregnancy is a nightmare...

Hours. It took hours for her to reach ten centimeters, for her to start pushing. Everything took a grand total of thirty hours of grueling labor, but her baby boy was finally here. In her arms. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she cuddled the newborn, his little black hair tickling her cheek. His skin was pale, just like hers, and he had her nose.

He was perfect.

Hartz pressed soft kisses to his girlfriend's head, Alice taking a few pictures with a smile.
"Great job, mija. He's so precious..." The older mother smiled, kissing Night's head gently.
"I-I love him so much already..." The blonde mumbled, nuzzling her nose further into thin black hair.
"He's got your nose, baby." The lavender-haired teen smiled, gently and carefully stroking the chubby pale cheek. The young mother sighed softly and nodded, looking up when the door to her hospital room opened. Her grey eyes widened when her brother walked through the door, another round of tears in her eyes.
"A-Alex?"
"Hey baby sis, sorry I missed the birth." Alex smiled softly as he waved, walking over and hugging her. Night hugged him back carefully, showing him his new nephew. Red eyes blinked, eyebrows furrowed at the feeling he had.

The nineteen-year-old didn't know if he would be able to love this kid, not after what the father did to his baby sister. But staring down at his sleeping little face, that innocent little face, he couldn't bring himself to hate him. He just got out of jail, he got all of his hate out behind bars.
"He looks like his mama..." He smiled softly, causing Night to sniffle and smile.

~~~

I bet you're wondering. What's the baby's name? Well...
"Jin! The bus is almost here, come on!" A now twenty-two-year-old Night called from the kitchen, packing a lunch for her six-year-old.
"Coming mama...!" She heard from the stairs, the blonde shaking her head with a laugh. Such a sweet little boy... Adorned in a little shark hoodie and black jeans, her precious baby ran into the kitchen, light-up shoes on and his bag strapped to his back.
"Got your doctor's note?"
"Yes..."
"Homework?"
"Yes..."
"Cute little face?" The mother reached down and pinched his cheek gently, causing him to squeal and push her hand away.
"Mama, quit it...!" Jin squeaked, making his mama laugh softly.
"I can't help it! You're my baby, I always get to tease you."

Grey eyes looked to the window when she heard the bus pulling up.
"Ah! That's the bus, baby boy! Hurry!" She told him, dropping his lunchbox into his bag and zipping it up. "Daddy and I are going to be there after school to get you, so don't get on the bus. I love you!"
"Love you mama...!" Her son called back, waving and running out the door. Night waved back and watched him get on the bus, resting a hand to her pregnant belly. She sighed and walked into the living room, passing a photo hung up on the wall.

She gazed upon it and found herself smiling softly, her stare loving. The past family reunion was a nice one, she tracing her finger over each member in the photo. From her mother, to her brother, to her loving husband, and finally her six-year-old son. Night looked into captured eyes, loving the way his eyes shone in the photo. His bright green eyes...

The mother frowned at past thought, shaking her head. Jin has so many of his features. It hurts to remember what he did to her, but she could never hate her son. No, it wasn't his fault.

He's the best thing to ever happen to her~
