How scary can it be not to know whether you're living in reality or in your dreamland?
And what if it goes on for months?

We are not fallen angles.
Neither are we pure evil.
The thing is that we are a confusing mix of both.
The "good guys"...

"Are you sure you want me to leave now, Mrs. Kim?" Snow's nanny asked unsurely, glancing at the little girl who was moving all around the room, trying to take a couple of steps on her own but would always end up falling.
"Yes, Kate. It's okay. I've got this." I faked a smile to her, not forgetting the fact that she was a part of this too. "Just make sure Sky is nowhere close to be falling off the bed before you leave, please."
"Alright. Have a nice evening."
I nodded my head in response, not saying much. I could barely stand these maids in the house, knowing that they didn't find any problem with involving kids in the game, so I'd ask them to leave whenever possible.
After she walked out of the room, I turned to the little baby that just reached me, holding on my legs to stand up. "Mamma!" She extended her hand up to me, asking me to hold her.
Being a mother would always be the most unexpectedly beautiful I've ever gone through during this fucked up year.
Before she would fall back, I bent down and carried her up in my arms, not helping but to chuckle at the angelic laugh that she let out only because I held her.
"You've been awake for 20 hours. Don't you feel a little sleepy?" I asked in disbelief while she just squeezed my cheeks in her small hands and laughed again, answering my question; she wasn't gonna sleep.
"Snow, look at me." I said seriously, which made her stare at me with those adorable big eyes of hers, causing me to find it really hard to act all serious. "Baby, you need to sleep now. It's getting so late, and-"
"Apapaflonada!" She argued with an angry frown on her face.
"No. No." I shook my head firmly "You are gonna sleep so that you'd wake up at the right time."
Her lips pouted and she looked down which instantly made me feel all the blame that I didn't just let her stay awake however she'd like. But.. That was too spoiling for me.
"Snow." I called her softly, and I could swear I saw her smiling while looking down because this little brat was acting like she was gonna cry. Yet, she didn't look up.
"Oh.. My baby is mad at me?" I said sadly, pouting my lips too, mocking her, and she whined a little, pretending to be crying.
She isn't gonna be an easy one when she grows up. Perfect.
"Alright then." I shrugged and then placed her in her bed carefully before I started to tickle her sides and belly lightly with the tip of my nose which thankfully caused loud laughters from her.
I stopped so that she would take her breath and looked at her face while smiling, loving the way she just sighed in a cute little voice. What was even more amazing was that she Yawned!
"C'mon now. We laughed a lot." I laid down beside her and carried her so she'd be sleeping on my arm then began to pat her arm and caress her hair. I started humming a song that I knew from movies -not my mother of course because I never met mine- which would make babies go to sleep fast because of how quiet it was.
Once I felt her asleep, not moving or making any cute sounds anymore, I kissed the side of her forehead and carefully placed her head on the pillow instead before getting up, tucking her well, turning the lights off and walking out of the room.
I reminded myself that I would have to check on her every now and then since I, unfortunately, had to replace her cradle with another bed because she learnt how to 'get out' of it. Yes, by falling. So, without thinking much, I decided to throw it out.
Turning around, I saw my other baby sitting down by her room door. When she noticed me, she looked up for a second before looking away from me again, having an evident frown on her face.. And tears in her eyes.
Was she jealous?
That would literally kill me of over-cuteness.
"Sky?" I kneeled beside her, pushing her hair away from her face and tugging it behind her ear so that it wouldn't annoy her. "Why are you awake, darling? I thought you were asleep."
"I heard you play with Snow." With a pout, she looked up at me, furrowing her eyebrows in annoyance.
"Aww.. Are you sad that I didn't call you?" She nodded her head and looked down. "Baby, I knew you were asleep already. I didn't want to disturb you. I'm sorry."
"Okay." A smile slowly started to appear on her beautiful face, which instantly caused another on mine.
"Won't you give mommy a hug? Or are you still mad at me?"
Her smile was now bright on her face before she stood up and wrapped her small arms around my neck, kissing my cheek before she rested her head on my shoulder, obviously still sleepy.
I chuckled softly then got up with her in my arms. I placed her on the bed and kissed the side of her head, the same way I did with Snow. I stayed beside her for a few minutes, just holding her and patting her hair before I saw her eyes getting heavy.
"Good night, darling." I said quietly and kissed her cheek, since I made her feel like an outsider so I had to make it up.
"Night, mommy." She mumbled with a small smile.
Instead of Aww-ing so loudly at her lovely, innocent actions, I just made sure she was tucked well in bed before walking out of the room.
Those two little girls made me realize one thing about myself that I would've never realized without them. I can be a good mother.
Not having one has always made me believe that I would be the worst mother on earth. Moreover, I could never deal with kids or even be kind with them, I would actually avoid them. But now, they seemed to be the best that I can deal with.
There's bad in everything in this world, except for one thing. It is completely pure, angelic, truthful, and absolutely faithful. Babies. And what a blessing if they are yours. It's just something else.
My, for once, positive thoughts were interrupted when I heard the front door open, followed by rumbling noises that caused me to immediately head downstairs.
Oh, did I forget to mention that Taehyung wouldn't be home until 1 am minimum?
Well, he would.. He has entirely changed.
Enough with the kids; time for some action, yeah?
End of ch.28
First of all, I'm so sorry for the late update. I'm just so caught up with my college with all its endless quizzes, assignments and projects. And I don't wanna haste anything in this story. As I said before, I want it to be perfect.
Nevertheless, I promise I'm gonna make it up to you with the upcoming updates. 💘
From the lack of appearance of our lovely voice, you can already tell that Raina was in a kinda good state of mind. However, that's not gonna last for so long.
So yeah, it's more like the calm before the storm.
I know it was a short chapter, but I hope you enjoyed the heartwarming moment with the babies. 💖
