Heartbeat (BTS Reverse Harem/Poly)

Untitled Part 25

*Time Skip one month*

Aria woke to the most amazing smell of food cooking downstairs. The month had gone quickly and the visit from the Halmeoni was coming to an end. Aria hurriedly showered and dressed, then headed town to the kitchen to find Hyun-Joo and Eun-Ji cooking away, each woman also holding their grandchild in their arms.

Walking over to the women, Aria gave each one a polite bow then kissed her children on the cheek. "Good morning, everyone. You don't have to cook every day! Please, let me help you."

"Oh, good morning, Aria. You are absolutely glowing this morning. Did you sleep well?" Eun-Ji handed Da-Som over, continuing her work. "Min-Jun and Da-Som have been fed, bathed and changed. And... we love to do it."

Taking Da-Som in her arms, Aria playfully tickled her daughter who grinned and grabbed a handful of her mother's hair. "Oh, I had the most beautiful dream last night. There was a beautiful bird flying around me carrying an Aster flower in its beak. I was holding Min-Jun and Da-Som in my arms and the bird would fly around then land on me and then take off flying again. It was so nice and peaceful that I didn't want to wake up from it."

Both women looked at each other, smiles appearing on their faces and then turned towards Aria. "Elders believe that if you dream of a bird or a flower you are pregnant with a girl!"

Aria brushed off the comment, chuckling. "But I'm not pregnant. It was just a beautiful dream. Besides, I know right now is not the best time for another baby. The guys are so busy right now and we haven't talked about having more children right away. And I have been on birth control since I had the twins."

Eun-Ji sat next to Aria and placed too her hand. "I, myself, have believed that babies don't always come when they are planned, but when they are needed. You my dear are absolutely glowing and I just know that you are pregnant, and the elders are never wrong. You will see. Now let's sit and eat, we have some news for you."

Hyun–Joo sat down on the other side of Aria, taking a bite of food then delicately wiping her face with a napkin. "Unfortunately, Eun-Ji and I have to go home a couple days early. Jungkook's father is ill, and I need to go take care of him."

"He's ill? Will he be okay? Is it anything serious? Do I need to call Jungkook to come home?"

"Oh no dear, his father is fine, he has the flu. He just gets very needy when he is sick. You will experience that eventually if you haven't already. We will be leaving first thing in the morning, so we want to spend as much time with our grandchildren and you today as possible."

Aria looked at Hyun-Joo and Eun-Ji, both women obviously not wanting to leave even a moment early. "Oh, I wish you didn't have to, but I understand. And I know there will be many more visits in the future."

"Of course, there will be, dear. And who knows what special occasion we will be celebrating the next time we are here." Hyun-Joo said with a grin.

Eun-Ji shot her a glare and a playful swat on the hand. "Hajima Hyun-Joo!"

"What? I didn't say anything" Hyun-Joo whispered

"You might as well have. What am I going to do with you. You could spoil any surprise, just like Park Jimin. That is why they don't tell you anything."

Aria could hear the two women bickering quietly between each other. "Is everything okay? Is there something wrong?"

Eun-Ji smiled before shooting another warned look at Hyun-Joo. "Everything is fine Aria. We were just discussing our travel plans for the morning. Now, let's enjoy our last day here."

After breakfast, the two elder women cleaned the kitchen while Aria changed Min-Jun and Da-Som. The three women laid out a large blanket in the garden underneath the blooming cherry blossom tree and they all sat together and talked for hours, until the sun was low in the sky. The twins were trying their hardest to scoot along on their stomachs and the elder women couldn't stop taking pictures and videos of the milestone.

"Aria, dear" Eun-Ji said as she stood from her spot on the blanket and embraced her in a warm hug, "I want to say thank you for allowing us to visit and meet these two beautiful children. You are welcomed into our family and I wish you nothing but blessings."

Hyun-Joo then stood and took her turn hugging Aria. "You are the best thing that has happened to our sons. They couldn't have asked for a more perfect woman. Thank you for the visit, Aria. We will be going to bed now since our flight is early in the morning."

Both women picked up their grandchildren and gave them one more hug and kiss before handing them to Aria and retreating into the house. Aria sat for a few more minutes, watching the sun set and reveling at how happy she was with the men that she loved before standing and heading into the house to put the children and herself to bed.
