Lab Baby

Strangers Like Me

Seonghwa had grown comfortable talking to Wooyoung and San, Yunho of course when he wasn't busy burying his nose in the book he's reading. They called him the librarian, he's read many books and is very knowledgeable about the things he has read about, and often home schools the children.

But today it was Hongjoong's turn, which explained why Seonghwa hasn't seen him yet.

"Mingi should be back any minute from patrol right?" San asked, looking to Yunho.

"Yeah he should be," Yunho looks at the watch he supported on his wrist, "He said-" A distant howl caused him to silence his words and Yunho chuckles, "Right on time."

It was quiet for a moment before the back door opens and Seonghwa immediately felt his wolf stir at the scent of head Alpha nearby. When Mingi made an appearance in the living room, he immediately looks down to his son and Mingi stops short in the doorway, "Oh. Seonghwa, you came out of your room."

"Don't make it so awkward Mingi," Wooyoung rolls his eyes, "He's just exploring the house for the first time."

Mingi smiles slightly, Seonghwa avoids his gaze and misses the look of hurt on the Alpha's face. Mingi clears his throat, "What's for lunch?"

"Yeosang is making kimchi fried rice," Yunho hums, "basically left overs from last night."

"Perfect, sounds delicious. Running patrol sure does make a wolf hungry," Mingi chuckles and walks over to sit beside Yunho. Seonghwa immediately felt uncomfortable, even though his wolf was practically begging him to move closer to the Alpha.

For some reason, even though he felt uncomfortable with the male his wolf was not.

Another door opens in the house, and little pads of feet run down the hall and into the living room. Seonghwa immediately recognizes the little girl from the photo in his room, she smiles a dimple filled smile before running over to San, "Daddy guess what!?"

"What my love," San smiles, pulling his daughter in his arms with his other child sitting in his lap.

"I passed my spelling test! Uncle Joong said I got an A plus!"

"That's great Sooji!" Wooyoung smiles, "My baby girl is so smart."

"Hanji passed too! Joongie said that if we keep up the good work he'll bake us some cupcakes in celebration!" The little girl smiles proudly, looking to Seonghwa and Minjun with curiosity, "Mommy who's that?"

"Sooji, remember when we brought another wolf and his baby home with us a few days ago?" Wooyoung gently spoke, trying not to distress Seonghwa with the sudden introduction, "This is them. Can you say hi?"

"Hi," Sooji smiles again, when she does so she looks a lot like San, "Are you okay? You were bleeding when uncle Mingi carried you inside."

"Sooji," San scolds her, the small girl shyly hides into her mother's arms, and San once more turns to Seonghwa, "I'm sorry Hwa, she's very observant for a six year old-"

"It's okay," Seonghwa nods, turning to face the precious girl and smiling softly, "I'm fine sweetheart, I'm all better now."

"You are?" Sooji asks, her eyes wide as she looks to Minjun who is curiously looking around the room for the strange voices, "Is your baby okay?"

Seonghwa chuckles, "My baby is fine," he gently turns Minjun around to face the little girl. Minjun caught sight of her and immediately breaks into a small grin with a tiny coo, "See? He's very happy, especially to see you."

She giggles, and looks to Wooyoung, "Mommy what if the baby and Binnie got married?"

Yunho snorts, covering his mouth to try and keep himself from laughing and Mingi did as well, Seonghwa looked to them before looking back at Sooji. But before he can say anything to her, San beats him to it, "They're just babies for now sweetie, they don't even know about mating yet."
