The Wrong Party

A favor

"Put it down" Reina said sternly

"No!" Mae yelled with a huge gummy smile

Reina had to bite back a smile of her own

"Mae, don't you do it. Put it down"

"No!" She giggled as she brought the pen up to her lips 

"One, two" Reina began counting, Mae screamed and threw the pen before running in the opposite direction as she laughed her little ass off and clapped making me laugh, Reina chuckled as she walked over and grabbed the pen off the floor "your kids are something else" she shook her head 

"My kids?" I chuckled 

"Yes" she smiled and nodded her head 

"It takes two to tango baby" 

"Fuck you" she snorted 

"Isn't that how we got in this situation?"

"I hate you" she rolled her eyes 

"I love you too" I smiled 

"You're impossible" she shook her head and smiled 

"I try" I shrugged 

"Daddy! Look!" Jay squealed as he held up his alligator plushie 

"I see" I smiled "is that Chompers?"

"Chomp! Chomp! Raaaawr" he pushed the plushie against my chest and I pretended to be hurt 

"Noooo chompers got me! Jay, help!" 

"Daddy!" He laughed and threw the stuffed animal on the floor "is alwight daddy!"

"Phew" I sat up and wiped my forehead "Thanks for saving me" I pulled him in for a hug and he laughed as I kissed his face all over "I love you"

"Lub oo" he smiled as I put him back on his feet 

"God they're too damn adorable" she sighed as she sat on the couch beside me 

"Ever just watch them and think about how the hell we made such perfect little humans?" 

"I do" she chuckled 

"Like what the fuck did we do to deserve them?" 

"We were probably super heroes in our past lives" she laughed making me smile wide 

"Probably" I mumbled as I watched our babies play with their toys 

Things had been going great the last four months. 

I started my new job, working from home so whenever she was off, or even after she was done with a shift the four of us would spend time together as a family and have family dinners. We even started hanging out on the weekends with them together instead of just dropping off the kids to each other. 

I had also taken her on more dates since the cemetery one went so well. 

We hadn't talked about the incident since our 'first' date, we decided to only focus on what happened before, and what is happening now. I still get random pangs of guilt here and there, and sometimes I can see glimpses of sadness in her eyes, but we have come so far together since then. 

We were growing as people, and as a unit. 

I couldn't ask for more. 

Doesn't mean I don't want to though, I haven't kissed her in six months, but who's counting? 

I'm still in love with her, probably more so now after everything that's happened. And of course watching her be such an amazing mom to our kids helps. I think she looks her best when she's laughing with them or playing pretend. Even on the days when she's completely exhausted but pushes herself to be a mom, it makes my heart do somersaults. She's so fucking amazing. 

But I knew that already. 

She had Jay in her arms as she made a cup of juice for Mae, she was singing to them and in their baby babbles they were singing with her and I couldn't stop myself from smiling. I went to the kitchen and picked up Mae so she was eye level with her brother and I began singing with them, the babies laughed as Reina smiled and kept going. When we finally put them on their feet they made their way back into the living room and I focused on Reina 

"Have I ever told you how amazing you are?"

"Always" she blushed "you are too" 

"I have a favor to ask though" 

"What is it?" She asked as she looked up at me and made eye contact, her hazel eyes looked more green in the lights of my kitchen and I smiled 

"I don't want to cross any lines.. I just" I shook my head "nevermind" 

"What is it Yoongs? Just spit it out before I panic" 

"Can I kiss you?" 

"What?" She furrowed her brows as her eyes looked back and forth between mine 

"It's been-"

"Six months" she finished my sentence and sighed as she looked down at the ground "I know" 

"I love you. And I understand you not wanting to jump into a relationship with me..but I miss you. I know you're here, but I miss you. I miss us. I miss-"

"Everything"  she nodded "I do too" she admitted 

I brought my hand up and cupped her cheek making her look at me "Please"

"Yoongi" she sighed and closed her eyes as she melted into my touch "okay" she whispered, suddenly my heart was pounding out of control, I smiled as she closed her eyes and tilted her head upwards, I licked my lips and leaned down, I closed my eyes as my lips met hers and my whole body felt like jello. 

It was everything. 

She wrapped her arms around my waist and I pulled her in closer, one hand on the back of her neck and the other on her cheek as I tilted my head and deepened the kiss, I slid my tongue past her lips and she moaned as our tongues lightly molded together. It wasn't rushed, it wasn't hungry, it was soft, sweet, and filled with love. 

I didn't want to stop, but I knew I had to. I pulled away slightly and retracted my tongue before pecking her lips three more times, I pulled away completely and opened my eyes only to find her already staring up at me

"I love you" I whispered and kissed her lips again

"I love you too" she pecked my lips 

"Momma!" Jay yelled as he ran into the kitchen, effectively cutting my moment with his mother short. Or maybe just on time. 

"Hey baby" she cooed as she picked him up 

"Look!" He pointed towards his sister, the both of us turned our heads and laughed our asses off

"Hat!" Mae yelled as she pulled on the diaper that was covering her entire head and eyes "hat!"

"I see baby, beautiful hat" she giggled as she put Jay on his feet 

"Thank you" I smiled at her 

"Don't make it weird Yoongs" she snorted making me laugh, she made sure to punch my arm as she walked past me and all I could do was laugh harder before landing a smack on her ass and watched as it jiggled 

"I would never" I feigned innocence, making her click her tongue as she flipped me off and sat down on the floor with our babies. 

Definitely one step at a time.
