Forever Together

Chapter 44

Stasia awoke early the next morning. She turned to look at Yoongi, and he was sleeping peacefully, so she took the next few minutes to slowly unwrap them from each other so she could get out of bed. She grabbed some clothes and went to get dressed in the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and threw her hair up; she threw on a high-low t-shirt and some cut-offs.  

She decided to make everyone breakfast. Aimes' current obsession was pancakes. The only issue is Kook and Jin showed her pancake art, and that's what she wants every day. While Stasia is a decent artist, she is not skilled at the medium of pancakes. So she came up with silly pancakes. They are fun shapes and sometimes colors. They never look quite like they are supposed to, but Aimes thinks it's funny. 

She was just throwing the last of the food in the warmer when a very tired Joonie carrying a very chipper Ami walked in. He gave Stasia a sleepy smile. She waved her spatula at him, "See, this is why I said the cake was a bad idea. Maybe next time you'll listen?"

"Haha, it's fine, really. We had a lot of fun. I just need coffee." He sat Aimes in her chair, and he practically fell into his. He rested his head on the table, and she just giggled.

She brought him a cup of coffee, "Here, love. What time did she fall asleep?"

He gratefully took a drink, "last I looked, it was 1 am." 

"Aww, poor baby, you must be exhausted!" Stasia looked at the clock, and it was barely 7 in the morning. "Here," she pulled him up into a sitting position, rubbed his shoulders, and scratched his head. Joon isn't much of a cuddler, but he is affectionate with her and Aimes, so she loves the little pieces they get from him. When he was putty in her hands, she gave him a kiss and asked him to wake up the others and have them come to eat. All of them had things to do that day.

Just as she was pulling the last of the food out of the warmer a sleepyheaded Yoongi shuffled in, "hey why did you leave this morning, I wanted another round.." Stasia shoved a piece of toast in his mouth and shooed him to go sit down. Why do they insist on announcing to each other exactly what goes on? She'll never know. They all know that she was currently sleeping with them, sometimes they even hear her actively enjoying another member. But do they really need to talk about it at breakfast? Boys are weird. 

Stasia made everyone their plates and drinks and then sat down to eat. "Can anyone watch Aimes today? I need to go to the classroom and do TXT's lesson. It's been over a year at this point." She looked up from her plate to all seven of them, staring at her mid-bite or chew. "What? Is it so weird that I want to go back to work?"

Hobi swallowed his bite, "when we told Big Hit that you lost your memories, they canceled all of your classes, we haven't told them that they are back yet."

"Oh, that explains why Soobin was so confused. Well, regardless, I'm better now, and I need to go to work. So if one of you can't watch her, she can come with me. Aimes, do you want to go see Uncle Kai?" 

She looked up with food on her face, "YES, I see Uncle Kai."

"Well, I guess I don't need you to watch her. Aimes, eat, and then we have to get ready, okay?" 

Aimes nodded happily and finished her food. She ran to get dressed, and Jimin followed behind her. If they let her pick out her own clothes, she'd walk around with 50 different things on because she loved it all. 

Stasia went back to get dressed. She showered and fixed her hair, then threw on some light makeup, an off-the-shoulder sweater, some ripped jeans, and heels. Once she had her jewelry on, she was ready to go. She met Aimes in the hallway. She was twirling in her Princess dress.

"Look, Eomma. Appa say I wear is. I a rincess." Her hands were under her chin, a move her Appa Jin had shown her. 

"You sure do. I love your pigtails. Did Appa do those, too?" She looked at Jimin and smiled at him.

"I'm not as good as you are at fixing her hair, but I like pigtails on her." He looked at her with so much love on his face. She couldn't wait to have more kids with them. Stasia walked up to him, looped her arms around his neck, and gave him a searing kiss—the kind that makes your toes curl and leaves you breathless.

They stopped because Ami was making gagging noises, which her Appa Kook and Appa Tae taught her to do. She lived with one actual child and seven grown man-children. "Sorry, Princess. Eomma was just saying goodbye to Appa Jimin really fast."

Stasia loaded her up into her car seat, and they headed to her classroom. When they got there, TXT was already waiting. As soon as she opened the door, Amies took off towards Kai, "Ncle Kai, ncle Kai. You ike rincess ess?"

"I sure do. You really look like a princess now! I haven't seen you in forever. Look how big you've gotten." He carried her to his seat and sat down with her in his lap.

"Kai, if she distracts you too much, just put her on the other desk. She has her tablet." He nodded his head, and then she spoke to all of them, "Guys, I'm sorry I haven't been here for a while, and I'm sorry that I forgot about you. I'm better now, with the exception of the past couple of months, I remember everything. Since I've been gone so long, I want to see where you are standing versus where you were when we left to go on tour. Basically, I want to see if you actually studied or not." She gave them a wink and loaded up their test. 

45 minutes later, they were finishing up, and Tae walked in, "Appa Tae!" Amies yelled and ran for her Appa. 

"Hey, baby, why are you here?" Stasia asked him.

"Oh, I came to bring you two back," he shrugged his shoulder.

"You had someone drive you here and drop you off so you could drive us back? It seems legit."
