To say that getting used to having a baby around was troubling would be an understatement.
It was absolutely terrifying.
Yeosang and San often visited the two parents, only to be greeted with an exhausted Seonghwa, a slightly upset Hongjoong, a confused Mingi, and Yunho who seemed to be the one that become the most protective of the little pup apart from her parents.
All San and Yeosang could do was chuckle at the chaos in the sea dragon household. Both knowing that it'll only get worse as the pup grows.
But today was an unusual day.
_______
Jeonghan was on his way with a delivery of newly knitted baby clothes.
Courtesy of Minghao of course.
But sadly the young spirit had yet to figure out how to carry things without them literally slipping through his hands.
It made him upset but Junhui was always there to reassure him that he'd get it one day.
However, as Jeonghan was walking towards the cabin, a speedy outline of a sea dragon zoomed past him, followed by a much slower one who seemed sleepy but panicked.
" Seonghwa? Hongjoong? " The eldest hummed out, earning a tired groan from the mother.
" Seonmi has learned to shift into a Sea Dragon. She's randomly ran off like the excited little puppy she is and now we can't find her. " Hongjoong groaned, looking like he was about to plop onto the ground from exhaustion.
" Oh...that's not good. Why don't you go back and lay down and look at these new clothes while I help Seonghwa look for them. " The fox offered, earning a sleepy nod from the dragon.
The whole process didn't take long, Jeonghan knew that Hongjoong would eventually fall asleep which would spare them enough time without him panicking.

San's tail fluffed up as he watched Seonghwa zoom past and quickly ran to catch up with him.
" What's got your tail in a knot? " The winged dragon chuckled, earning a hiss from the older.
" Pup's learned to shift in the past few months and now she's ran off somewhere and I can't find her and Hongjoong's sick or something and Yunho and Mingi are out swimming in the lake and- "
" Park Seonghwa! Calm down, stressing isn't gonna do anything but make you lose your mind. " San cut him off, moving to stand in front of him as the father seemed to panic a lot more when not moving around.
" My pup has ran off San! She's barely 7 months old! She can't even trill properly yet! " Seonghwa barked, his tail lashing as his pupils narrowed into slits.
" And I understand that, Hwa! But you have to calm down! Look, reasonably she couldn't get far. This place is surrounded by a spell Jeonghan himself casted since the birth of your daughter. Nothing can get in. She wasn't kidnapped. " San stated, lifting his front paws to hold the other dragon's face.
" But things can get out... " Seonghwa whimpered.
" But nothing can get in. You baby is just now starting to smell like Hongjoong. But he's tired and sick right now so we can't rely on him to track her down. " San continued, tail tapping quietly.
" What does that have to do with anything...? " The older mumbled out.
" Well, for one, it's a safety method. It makes it so sea pups aren't as easy to find since their scents blend in with their mother's. If anything, they'd find Hongjoong before Seonmi. " The flyer said, standing up again and stretching his wings.
