Blossoming {Changlix}

Chapter Fourteen

Days grew short, passing quickly. Months pilled up, going by. Felix laid in bed, holding a small child in his arms. The baby cried loudly as a tired Felix did his best to calm the upset baby. He rocked her back and forth, gently shushing her, rubbing her back as she kept crying. It had only been a few days since he had given birth, still being exhausted and in pain. Changbin was off somewhere, getting something for Felix. Felix kissed her forehead, rocking her back and forth slowly.

Changbin appeared in the doorway, smiling at Felix. Felix did a weak smile, looking up at him tired. Changbin gently took the baby, beginning to rock her. She began to cry louder, Changbin looking down concerned. He took the blanket he brought in, wrapping her up. He gently handed her back to Felix, watching her calm down. Changbin sighed, sitting next to them.

"She's very beautiful…" Changbin whispered.

Felix nodded. "She has your eyes." He looked up at him, kissing his cheek.

Changbin blushed, looking away. "I think she has your eyes."

"Maybe she has both of our eyes. Either way, she's beautiful."

Changbin chuckled softly, leaning in and kissing his cheek. Felix looked up, their eyes contacting in a gaze. They smiled at each other, Felix leaning in and placing a kiss on his lips. He pulled away slightly.

“Aren’t you supposed to be training?” He asked.

Changbin looked away. “Well… I’m taking a small break to take care of you. You’re not really in a position to do anything alone.”

Felix smiled brighter, taking one arm away from the baby, wrapping it around Changbin and pulling him closer. Changbin cuddled into his side, resting his head on his shoulder. Felix shifted slightly, bringing their child closer to both of them. Changbin leaned down slightly, placing a single kiss on her forehead. 

“I… I need to be honest with you, Felix.”

Felix looked at him with big eyes, tilting his head softly. “What is it?

“I don’t know if I want to be a knight anymore. Like- I don’t know how to word it exactly. I want to still be something like it, but I don’t want to travel. I want… I want to stay with you and Umji.”

Felix’s eyes softened, pulling Changbin closer. He placed a kiss onto his head, then letting him rest his head again. “You don't want to be like your dad?”

Changbin looked up at him, staring for a second before looking away, his eyes softening as he nodded slowly. “Yes… I don’t want to be like him… I love him, no doubt, but… I don’t want to leave my family. I-I just remember growing up alone and I don’t want that to happen to you and Umji. I love you two.”

Felix nodded. “I love you too… I’m certain you can get a job as a guard! Instead of traveling, you can stay here and guard the prince!”

“Do you really think I can do that?”

“I’m certain.” Umji yawned, both staring down at her. “Go put her to bed, then come back so we can cuddle.” He offered Changbin the child to take.

Changbin smiled, taking her. He stood up, leaving the room. Felix smiled, shifting himself slightly, wincing in pain ever so slightly. Changbin soon returned, laying next to him. Felix wrapped an arm around him, pulling him closer, pulling his face into his neck. Changbin nuzzled into his neck, leaving a peck. Felix smiled, running his hand through his hair.

“Respectifully, we’re never having another child again,” Felix whispered.

Changbin looked up. “Okay-”

Felix said nothing more, just cuddling him again.
