Sneak peak -
Taehyung- we shouldn't be doing this ", I protest under my breath. "You didn't answer my question-", he clasped my chin between his fingers. He was dangerously close- inches apart. "Do you want me?".
Summary-
Anastasia Rosalie Cora is...
"Anastasia? I can't-", she kicked the doorframe and groaned. "Mama! Do not attempt this on your own-", I giggle , leading her to the backyard in a blindfold. "I had warned you kids not to do anything extravagant-", she whispered and I go yeah yeah.
"Watch your step", I help her out successfully. My eyes shifting to papa and Rupert who flicked up their thumbs. A few of mama's book club friends were here too. Taehyung and jungkook stood side by side, smiling . "Ready mama?", I whisper into her ear and she nod eagerly. Once I undo the blindfold - everyone cheered happy birthday!
"Oh my -", her eyes pooling with tears whilst admiring the beautiful job they had all pulled off.

"I - it's perfect ", she hid herself in my arms and I laugh at how shy she had gotten. "Mama-", I escort her to the table where Rupert hugged her tightly. My eyes shift to papa who was clapping his hands. Jungkook and taehyung were laughing? About what? I'm sure mama's friends believed they were friends because that's exactly how it looked.
"Kookie-", mama yelled at him. "I'm sorry - I had no choice. It had to be excellent ", he hugged her. Mama was so little . Geez - I had inherited her height. "And you ! -", She reached up, grabbing taehyungs ear. "Ou-", he yelped. "Where were you? Could you not atleast call me? ", she playfully smacked his cheek before hugging him. His eyes find mine and I wave. Jungkook rushed over to where I stood. "Hey pretty lady", he kissed my cheek. "Hi - this looks better than we planned ", I high 5 him. "Had extra help" , he looked at taehyung who was speaking with papa, while mama greeted her friends.
"You two seem to be getting along", I glance up at him and he smirked , "Baby , I was his fake girl for 5 seconds ". "What?", my eyes grow wide as he laughed.

We had all settled after formalities. The food was heaven. I couldn't stop stuffing my cheeks with the garlic bread. "Slow down honey-", jungkook nudged me . "I'm starving ", I cover my mouth and chuckle. Mama and her friends were busy being photographed underneath the massive tree which she contemplated on chopping down many times. "Food is amazing-", Rupert licked his fingers. My gaze bounced to taehyung who was watching mama. "Did you get her the bag she's been wanting?", jungkook whispered and I pry my eyes from taehyung. "Yes I did", I smile proudly and he leaned in , kissing my forehead.
"I hadn't gotten her a gift yet. What do old folks like?", he pout and I laugh. "Kookie- you've done more than enough for her", I gesture to the party. "This isn't enough. She deserves way more", he smiled at mama. Just like I mentioned- mama may have sinned to get to this place of happiness. But - she was happy and thats all that mattered. Holding a grudge against her was something I could never do. I loved her with all my heart and soul. That's my mama. I was proud to be hers.
