Blood, Sweat and Tears - an OT7 Vampire AU

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty

"Mama. Do you not love me as much?" Aera's bottom lip wobbled as Jungkook held her next to Mia's bed.

"Of course I do, baby, why would you think that?"

"Well, you have more baby..." Aera climbed onto Mia's bed carefully on her hands and knees.

"My love for you is like a cake ok? So when I have more babies I don't give away slices. I just make more cakes" Mia stroked her daughter's dark hair.

"So I always have my cake?"

"Always and forever, and as you get older your cake gets bigger and bigger and bigger" Mia smiled, as Aera sat between her legs, her head laid lightly on Mia's stomach.

"Love you, Mama"

"I love you too. Always and forever"

"Ok" Aera nodded as Mia stroked her hair. Her little girl wasn't usually this unsure of herself or so cuddly. While Mia was enjoying having the cuddles, she didn't want her little girl to feel sad.

"Oh, Appa tot me to make toast" Aera's head shot up.

"He did? Oh was it scrummy?"

"Mmhmm. I had with spweads"

"The chocolate one?"

"Mmhmm and bewwwwies"

"Oh, that sounds delicious. You're very clever"

"Bear pooooied, stinkkkky!"

"Did she make it in the litter box?"

"Yes, and Appa was pooly"

"Haha" Mia laughed holding her stomach.

"It was so bad, so bad" Jungkook shook his head.

"Come on little lady. You're going swimming when we get home"

"Oooh swimming! Make sure Appa sends me a picture of you"

"I will. I miss you"

"I'm coming home, tomorrow sweetheart"

"And the baby?"

"Yes and the babies too"

"And I can helps?"

"Of course, you can"

"Ok. I ask Appa to do...." She circled her hair.

"So I look pretty"

"You always look beautiful. Ok? You go and have fun and Aera" Mia beckoned her daughter so she could whisper in her ear.

"Make sure your Appa's are behaving, and if they're good. Tell them Mama said you can all have a McDonald's for dinner. Anything you want"

"Yay! Ok!" Aera's eyes lit up as she bounced off the bed and back to Jungkook.

"I'll see you tomorrow. Love you" Mia waved as the last of her visitors left.

"It's just us" Namjoon looked up from his book.

"I'm exhausted" Mia laid her head back on the pillows.

"I'm not surprised. You're so good with Aera"

"She's like me. She wants a little bit of control and reassurance. As long as she knows she's loved and has a little bit of responsibility. She's ok"

"She is like you. But I didn't realise how much she would miss you, and how much she looks to you"

"I didn't either. I thought her and Yoongs were tight...Well, hopefully, our little chat helped"
