My Baby Love (A Bang Chan Daddy AU)

Chapter 13: My Space

I didn't meant to slip into Little Space today. I really didn't. But I got a call from my editor telling me that he didn't like the article I wrote and that I needed to write a brand new one by the end of the week. It triggered my panic response and I just slipped. Instead of working on the article that was due in 3 days, I am sitting on my floor playing with my stuffies. I have them all set up as if we're all having tea together.

In the middle of me having tea with my stuffies, my phone goes off. I look at it to see that I have an alarm titled "Call Channie." My mind is a little hazy from being in my Little Space so I just follow the instructions from the alarm. I manage to get into my phone with some difficulty and find the name Channie. I immediately hit call and just wait. Then the calls goes through and I hear a familiar voice. I set up my phone to be on speaker phone as I lie on my stomach and play with my stuffies.

"Hi Ami!" The voice calls out to me.

"Hi," I murmur softly. In my Little Space, I've forgotten who 'Channie' is and I feel shy.

"Oh, is everything okay?"

"Every ting is otay, but who are you?"

"It's me, Chan. Ami, are you feeling little right?"

"I'm real little right now."

There's silence on the other side of the phone for a moment. I ignore it as I make two of my stuffies go on a date. I pick my koala and cat stuffies to go on a date.

"How old are you, Ami?" The voice, Chan, asks me.

"Um..." I say softly. I hold up 4 fingers. "I'm this many."

"Ami, I can't see you right now. Can you tell me how many fingers you're holding up?"

"I'm holding up four fingers."

"Okay. That's good to know. What are you doing right?"

"I'm making Kim the koala and Cha the cat go on a date."

"Oh yeah? What kind of date are they going on?"

"They're having a tea party! Kim brought tea sandwiches and Cha made the tea."

"That's nice. Are you supervising them?"

"Uh-huh. I'm making sure their date goes rweally well."

"You're a very nice friend. Did you anything before you started playing with your stuffies?"

"Um... I got a mean call from my manager and now I'm playing with my stuffies."

"Oh yeah? What kind of mean call did you get?"

"My meanie manager said he didn't wike my article and to werite it before the end of the week. He was rweally mean about it."

"Aw... I'm sorry he was being mean to you."

"It's otay. My stuffies are making me feel better."

"Good."

Suddenly my stomach gurgles and that makes me start crying. I can't cook when I'm in my Little Space due to a scrambled egg incident so I have deemed it irresponsible to cook while in my little space. But I hadn't gone grocery shopping yet so I don't have any ready-to-eat foods. I was supposed to go grocery shopping today.

"Oh no. What's wrong, Ami?" Chan asks in worried tone.

"I don't have any nummies to eat!" I practically wail as I clutch Kim to my chest. "I hungy, but no nummies to eat!"

"Aw... Do you need help getting nummies?"

"Yes! I can't cook and I don't have any snackies yet."

"Are you okay with me coming over and helping you make some nummies?"

I'm silent for a moment. My brain still doesn't register who Chan is, but it doesn't sound like he means any harm. And I can't call Younghoon right now due to him doing schedules today. I make the decision to let Chan help me out.

"You can come over," I murmur softly.

"Okay, Ami," Chan replied back. "I'm going to grab some things and I'll come over and help you, okay?"

"Otay."

"I'll see you in an hour. Can you hang on for another hour?"

"Uh-huh."

"Okay. I'll see you in an hour. And when I come to your apartment, I'll do three knocks on the door. If it's not three knocks, don't open the door. Okay?"

"Otay."

"Good. I'll see you in an hour."

"Otay. Bye bye."

"Bye, Ami. I'll see you soon."

Chan hangs up the call and I'm left in the silence. I return back to Kim and Cha's date as I try to distract myself from the hunger in my stomach. It's already late afternoon and I hadn't eaten since early in the morning. I manage to find my special binky to suck on after thirty minutes. I prod over to the living room. I lie down on the couch as I wait for Chan to come over. I lose myself in my head space as I can't do anything but wait.

Suddenly I hear three knocks on the door. I just up from the couch and waddle over to the door. I open it slowly and peek through the crack. I instantly recognize Chan standing in front me. I suddenly get shy realizing I'm Little and Chan is seeing me this way for the first time

"Hi," I squeak out, but it's muffled by my binky. I hold the door a little bit wider so he can see me.

Chan gives me a soft smile. He waves at me. "Hi Ami, can I come in?" He asks me softly.

"Um... Yes."

I open the door fully for him to walk though. I close it immediately. I notice Chan holding a grocery bag filled to the brim. Chan walks over to the kitchen and sets the bag on my table. He turns to me as I'm still standing at the door. I play with my shirt, sucking on my binky.

"Why don't you come over here and look at the food I brought?" Chan coaxes me. "I want to make sure I brought things you can eat."

I take little steps towards the kitchen. I walk up the bag and I peer into it. It's filled with different vegetables, fruit, and meat as well as some snack foods.

"I didn't know what to bring you so I just grabbed the whole grocery for you," Chan jokes as he starts taking the food out of the bag.

I giggle at his joke wondering if he actually did buy the whole store. I notice a bright red box and I squeal. Chan looks over at me as I hold up a box of Pocky happily.

"I wuve Pocky!" I try to say with my pinky still in my mouth. I give Chan a smile, but that causes my binky to fall out. I watch it tumble to the ground and the water works start. I start wailing with no end in sight.

Chan immediately springs into action. He grabs my binky off the floor. He walks over to the kitchen sink to clean it. He dries it on the  kitchen towel hanging by the sink. He walks back over to me and grabs my hand. I stop crying to look at him, tears still in my eyes. He lifts the binky up to my mouth and holds it up to my lips. I open my mouth and allow him to slip it between my lips. I immediately start sucking on it as I look into Chan's eyes with adoration.

"There you do," Chan murmurs softly. He lets go of my hand and pats my head. "Good girl."
