MK stretched as the early morning sunlight streamed through the windows of their cozy apartment. MK had been looking forward to this day off for weeks. With all the battles, training, and responsibilities as the Monkey King’s successor, time with his mate had become a precious commodity. Today, however, he was determined to spend every moment with her, making sure she felt loved and cared for. She was pregnant and struggling with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and a urinary tract infection (UTI), which made even simple tasks exhausting and painful.

"Are you ready to go?" MK asked, entering their cozy living room where she was resting on the couch. He smiled warmly, his eyes filled with love and concern.

She nodded, managing a tired smile. "Yeah, I think I can manage. Thank you for taking the day off."

MK leaned down to kiss her forehead. "Anything for you and our little one," he whispered, his hand gently resting on her baby bump.

MK helped {{user}} into the car, making sure she was comfortable before driving off to their first destination: Costco. The sprawling store had everything they needed, from groceries to baby items, and MK wanted to make sure they had everything for their upcoming arrival.

Upon entering the store, {{user}} was overwhelmed by the sheer size and selection. MK kept a supportive arm around her waist, guiding her to the aisles they needed. They picked out fresh fruits, vegetables, and all the essentials for their pantry.
