Both males felt nervous once they pulled into the driveway. Taehyung's eyes remained on Ara, watching her tiny fingers stretch while she blubbered. He softly chuckled when she let out a little sneeze, giving herself a little fright. Jungkook cooed at the little interaction.

He stepped out of the car after turning it off, walking towards the other side of the vehicle to help Taehyung open the door. To say the brunette was scared shitless of what Hana, Jungkook's mother's reaction could be would be an understatement.

Every step he took closer to the door, he felt as if he was going to pass out.

"Is she home?" Taehyung whispered to Jungkook, who nodded.

"Dad would be in his office now, but Mum is probably watching TV. You know her and the circle," The raven muttered, rolling his eyes at the TV show name that his mother is obsessed with.

After they let out a few laughs, they pushed open the door and stepped inside.

Taehyung bit his lower lip, feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Jungkook noticed and ruffled his hair.

"You will be fine. She adores you."

Taehyung let out a few deep breaths, eyes closing before he opened them when he heard Hana call out Jungkook's name.

"Dear, is that you?"

Jungkook nodded at Taehyung, who gave a small smile before they both walked towards the lounge—watching when Hana turned around with a significant smile only for her eyes to drift to the baby in Taehyung's arms.

She gasped as she quickly stood up, hands placed over her mouth, eyes wide. Taehyung thought she looked frozen. He gulped when she walked closer to him. "Who's baby?" She stuttered.

"M-mine", Taehyung let out, eyes now locked with here, who looked shocked.

"Eun was pregnant, and she did not tell me."

"She was going to abort the baby but did not, and she wants nothing to do with it."

"Her lawyer said I owe them 10,000 dollars if I don't pay up in a few months. They plan to take me to court. I c-couldn't put her up for adoption. I just c-couldn't," He stuttered, trying to hold back tears that were ready to fall.

"Of course, sweetheart, that is a huge choice you had to make."

"Just know you have my full support, no matter what," She said softly, wiping the tears that rolled down the brunette's soft cheeks.

"She is so little. What is her name? have you picked it?"

"Her name is Ara" Taehyung smiled, letting a few more tears escape when Jungkook's mother clicked on. "I wanted to do something special, and since she is my first born and you have been a mother to me, I wanted to have part of your name in hers", Taehyung whispered.

"I have n-no words. That just makes m-me, so h-happy", she stated, hand placed on her heart as she looked at Ara, who was sound asleep in Taehyung's arms.

"Would you like to hold her?"

"I would love to", She replied, moving back to the lounge- sitting down on the couch as she felt her heart race with pure love and excitement when Ara was placed in her arms.

Taehyung walked over to the other couch along with Jungkook, who followed him.

Taehyung nearly teared up at the sight of Hana holding Ara. He had a strong feeling that he won't get to see this interaction with his biological mother.

It did affect him, knowing that his daughter only has him.

He hopes Jungkook and Hana will stay by his side as they have from day one. His main worry is that he has never raised a kid or babysat for anyone's children. He knows he is going to need a lot of help. The one thing on his mind is he wants to be the perfect father for Ara.

He is scared of letting her, Jungkook, and Hana down.

"How old is she now?" Hana asked, glancing at Taehyung, who looked at Jungkook.

"I would say 24 hours" The brunette chuckled, his eyes glancing back at Ara.

"I am just gonna say what is on my mind and not beat around the bush-" Jungkook's mother started, turning to look at Taehyung, who gulped— immediately feeling his hands get sweaty, heartbeat picking up in speed when she opened her mouth.

"What are you planning to do with where you are staying? I don't feel comfortable living back at your parent's house. I would prefer you stay here until you find something like an apartment or something."

"By staying here, you have so much more help, I have raised a kid, and I want you to feel like you have support around you. It would also be a good environment for Ara" Taehyung felt like he could breathe again. He was over the moon that she wanted them to stay here. That is what he was hoping for.

"That sounds amazing", The brunette replied with a soft smile. Their heads shifted when they heard something bang against the ground, only to see Jungkook's father pop behind the wall.

"Were you ears-dropping Dal" Hana rolled her eyes as she looked at her husband, who had just been caught. "I thought you were talking shit about me, so I had to listen", Dal explained, hands in the air in surrender as he walked towards his wife.

"She is gorgeous, Tae", Was the first thing Dal said when seeing Ara.

"Thank you", Taehyung whispered.

"I am also happy to hear you will be staying with us. If there is anything we can do— remember to always talk to us and let us know," Dal replied, hand on his wife's shoulder, who nodded in agreement.

"We got given some stuff from the hospital to help out. It is all in my car," Jungkook explained, who had been sitting there watching the entire interaction. He loved the relationship Taehyung had with his parents.

He always appreciated how much his parents adored the male. It made him feel good.

"I will help you, come on, Kook," Dal said, waving his hand towards him as he walked towards the door. Once Jungkook left to go outside, Hana started talking.

"What are you planning to do about school?" She questioned, a smile on her face as she slowly swayed from side to side.

"Not sure just yet. I might take a day off school, go in after classes and talk to one of my teachers. I know there is a daycare next to the college, so I might see what their payments and hours are"

"That is a great idea. I can also take a few days off from working during the week to look after her, and so can Dal, who often works from home. Just so the pay is not a lot on your bank" She let out a few chuckles.

"I would appreciate that"

"We have a spare room, as you know, that has a lot of clothes in it. We still have a crib from when we had Jungkook, so I will get Dal to bring it out."

"Thank you so much for all of your support and help. I know this was not exactly how you wanted my life to go," Taehyung muttered, looking down a little bit which Hana picked up on.

"Love. Shit happens. Life does not always go to plan. You don't always have a say on how your life goes, but you make things work. Ara is a blessing. We will do everything to make sure she has a good life." The women smiled, eyes bright with goals.

The brunette felt calmer now. He wanted Ara to have the best life possible. Feeling worried he would fail at giving her the life she deserved.
