Accidental love

33.

A sudden knock on the door catches their attention. Beam opens the door to witness Forth and others' parents standing at the door. He welcomes all of them while Forth is shocked by sudden guest appearances. Marla (Forth's mom) hugs Forth tight in his arms while other parents also wish him the birthday. Forth waies them along with others.

David (Forth's dad) chuckles seeing Forth being all lost and confused with their early arrival, so he tells him that Park arranged it to bring them in the morning instead of the evening because Marla had no plans to delay it further especially when Beam told them about some upcoming surprise. This is when everyone's attention finally turns to a small baby clinging to Forth's neck and hiding his face.

Beam invites them all to sit while Yo and Wai leave to bring Ming out. Forth is still struggling to calm Thorn who is getting restless feeling many people around him. He whimpers and tries to hide in Forth's embrace while Forth is caressing his back. Marla and David are in awe seeing Forth's sweet gesture while the gang is busy serving drinks and food to the parents.

All the parents halt their action when they notice Ming coming downstairs with Yo and Wai and stand in front of them. Marla stands and engulfs Ming tight in her arms while David and others are frozen just like Forth was yesterday. David questions Forth about Ming while Pha asks them all to get seated, so Forth can explain everything.

Thorn has finally noticed Ming and wails out loud for his Mae while Ming hurriedly takes Thorn and hides him in his chest. He knows Thorn is not used to seeing this many people around him. The poor kid must be scared. Forth motions him to take Thorn away. Ming takes Thorn outside with PoshWai, Yo, and Kit. Once they leave, Forth requests Beam to tell them everything as he doesn't dare to talk about all that to which the latter nods and narrates the whole story again.

Marla hugs Forth tight and cries along with his son while others also feel the same. All of them feel raged hearing the real truth. Even David, who rarely shows his emotions, comes forward and comforts Forth. Ben tells them all to forget the past and focus on the future earning a nod from others. Marla hugs Beam and thanks to him for everything while David thanks Ben for the help. Lien and Ben along with Pha feel proud of their son.

They talk for a while and join Ming and others outside on the beachside. Marla hugs Ming tight while Ming cries out loud missing the mom's embrace. She knows how much Ming has suffered alone and how he might be missing his parents. She let him cry his heart out so that all those hidden emotions can break free. David also pats Ming's shoulder and hugs both of them further joined by Forth. Others just witness this beautiful moment silently with misty eyes.

Their overwhelming moment ends when Thorn catches everyone's attention with his cries. He feels possessive seeing his mae being hugged by many people. Ming frees himself and carries Thorn from Kit. He brings him to David and Marla who are in awe seeing Thorn's adorable pout and teary eyes. Marla tries to carry him, but the cub has already hidden in Ming's chest earning a chuckle from others.

They spend their whole afternoon and evening at the beach. Thorn finally accepted Marla's arms when his grandma gave him sweets. The other parents are also busy pampering Thorn while Forth's whole attention is turned towards Ming. The whole gang is busy playing, running, and swimming around the beach. Later in the evening, ForthMing enjoys their time at the beach while others have secretly left the lovebirds to arrange a surprise for Forth.

Ming perks upon getting a notification on his phone while Forth whines when Ming asks him to get up. Ming blindfolds him and takes him to the other side of the beach where the whole gang and family have decorated the area with lights, balloons, candles, etc. Forth feels overwhelmed at the site when Ming takes off the blindfold and everyone sings happy birthday together. He feels grateful to have such a loving family and friend circle.

Ming takes him towards the cake and everyone gathers around. Forth cut the cake with teary eyes and feed all of them. He chuckles and shakes his head on seeing Thorn's grabby hands as he is trying hard to get out of Marla's grip to launch on the cake. Forth carries him and kisses him all over while Ming feels delighted at the sight. Finally, his family is complete. He feels a rush of emotions when Yo and Wai side hugs him and give him an understanding look.

They all get busy eating and drinking while Forth thanks all of them for such a special surprise. He showers Ming with kisses despite others' presence and thanks for making his family complete. They come out of their bubble when Ben teases him for his boldness. Ming is blushing badly as he can feel the teasing stares of his friends while Forth tries to avoid the parent's gaze.

Forth also received a video call from MaxTul and KongArt who were amazed and shocked like others on hearing about Ming and Thorn. Kong promised Ming that he will come to him as soon as possible. They were extremely happy on their return and were fangirling over Thorn's cuteness. Forth received a few other calls from his friends and colleagues.

Later at night, all the parents return while the gang returns to the beach house. David had to pull Marla away as she was busy feeding Ming and looking out for Thorn nonstop complaining that Ming is very weak. She warned Forth to take care of Ming better while Forth could only nod his head. Ming was overwhelmed seeing Marla's love and was pleading with her to stop feeding him as he was going to blast. But, who can stop a mom until or unless the person has a death wish?

Thorn feels more and more comfortable around his uncles as they have put a lot of effort to impress the little monster. ForthMing is busy saving themselves from their friend's remarks about their late-night activities. Thorn finally slept after a tiring day while Forth places the baby securely in the cradle and goes to bed cuddling his wifey in his arms.
