Sky held Hobi's hand as they walked down the street to the realtor's office. He was so thankful that she was no longer mad at him and allowed this affection, even if it was slight.

"Did Tae give you his desmond yet?"

She looked at Jungkook, "No, he's the only one that hasn't."

"I'm surprised he didn't after seeing the room," Hobi commented. They both made a face, "what, what am I missing?"

"You promise you won't be mad at him?"

He frowned at her, "No, I don't promise. If he deserves my wrath, then he'll get it."

"Then I'm not telling you," she quipped as she continued on her way.

His eyes went to Jungkook's grey ones, "should I know what's going on?"

"I mean, yeah, but not if you will be mad at him. He was already sufficiently punished, so you going all crazy on him won't do anyone any good."

Hobi sighed. They were right; she didn't need any drama. "I promise not to get upset with whatever you tell me since you assured me he's been punished."

She snorted, "Oh, trust me, he got it good." She was giggling, which made them both so happy. 

"Okay, so what happened?"

Jungkook sighed before squeezing Hobi's shoulder, "he was so excited about the room that he ran into my room and pounced onto my bed; if I hadn't moved us fast enough, he probably would have landed on us. Potentially putting the baby and her at risk."

Hobi stopped walking; he was seething. He loved Tae with all of his heart, but he put Sky and their baby at risk. "Are you okay?" Hobi wasn't saying anything; he needed time to process this. 

"I. I'm not sure. I won't do anything to him, but I. I need to process this."

They understood Jungkook more than Sky. But at least he's not going to murder Tae. "Come on, let's go look at houses. That should distract you for a bit, at least."

So that's what they did. They met the realtor and looked at so many houses that Sky passed out on Jungkook's back while they looked through yet another one. "So, have any of them jumped out at you?"

Hobi looked at the lovely lady. She'd been really patient and didn't bat an eye that another guy was there and that they were carrying Sky around like a backpack. "We've seen a lot we like. We'll head back and talk about it. We can let you know which one tomorrow if that works for you."

"That's perfect," she smiled brightly and held her hand towards them. Hobi had observed humans enough to know that she wanted to shake hands with them, so he did: He pretended to be an average human.

When they made their way back to the ship, they were excited. They had looked at so many properties that it was hard to remember them all. "Was there one that you liked the most?"

Jungkook turned a bit to look at Hobi. It was a tad difficult since Sky was currently sleeping like a baby on him. "I honestly don't care, but she seemed to really love that yellow three-story house that was out of the city a bit. It had everything we could ever need and plenty of room and land to grow and do whatever we needed. I think it would be the best choice since she seems to love it so much."

"That works for me too. You know Joon will love the garden. Oh, and can you imagine Jimin and Tae if we get animals? There's the barn for you to do all of your mechanical work in if you want."

Jungkook chuckled a bit, "What am I going to work on? It's not like we can take our ship down there."

"We'll find something," he whispered against Jungkook's lips before he gave him a sweet and soft kiss.

They walked onto the ship, and Tae was there bouncing up and down, ready for Sky. "Can I take her, please? I still haven't given her my Desmond, and I want to."

Hobi sighed and walked towards Tae, his arms going around his waist. "You can, but baby, I need you to listen to me, okay?" Tae nodded his head eagerly, his hazel eyes shining a bit. "You have to be careful. She's carrying a baby, and she's fragile, okay? So treat her gently. You have about 7 inches and 50 pounds on her. You could crush her. I know you are our baby, but she's your baby."

Tae pouted, "But I like being her baby, too."

"I know you do," Hobi cooed as he held him gently. "But if we aren't there to protect her, then it's up to you to do that, for you to treat her like a baby, as she deserves. You have five mates that will baby the crap out of you, and I know she still will as well. But for the most part, you must be a big boy, okay?"

He whined, but he finally agreed. "Does that mean I can have her? Please, I want to give her my crest."

"I'll take her to your room, baby, but you have to let her rest. Once she wakes up, you can give her your Desmond, but then you have to get some food in her. Understand?"

"I promise JK, I will." So Jungkook carried her to Tae's room as the elder ran ahead and turned off the colorful lights so it would be dark in there for her to rest. "Her things are in here."

"So sweet baby, see you can do this. You are already being so good to her."

His hazel eyes looked so hopeful, all opened wide. "You think I can do this? That I can be as good as you guys are?"

"Baby, if you put your mind to it. You would be better than all of us put together. You are so sweet and caring. Yes, you are a pillow prince, but I don't think that bothers Sky. So if you can baby her outside the bedroom, you'd be great at it."
