It's 2 A.M. and just like an alarm, your newborn is crying in the cradle across from your bed. Groaning, you rub your eyes and start moving out of the comfortable heap of blankets you were under and drag your feet as you're walking over to the teary-eyed infant.
"Come on love, let's get you all taken care of," you coo as you pick him up, hold his head and check the diaper for an accident.
Luckily your little angel is just hungry.
"Babe, hey," you call, waking Jimin up.
"Huh?" he responded back groggily.
"Can you hold him while I go get him a bottle ready?"
Jimin nods as he sits up and holds his arms out waiting for you to pass your son to be comforted by him in the moments you'll be gone.
You trudged into the kitchen, turning on the too bright of a light, and grabbing everything you needed to make your baby boy a fresh bottle. You were exhausted from the ups and downs each night and having no time to focus on anything but the new life you brought into the world. A life you weren't expecting to conceive in the first place. From the moment you found out, all the way to giving birth, you've been scared, but Jimin has been supportive and thoughtful throughout all of it. He never hesitated to help, even if you didn't ask him to.
As you were mixing the formula into warm water, you realized that the crying had stopped. Silence was always nice, but also worrying, so you listened closely. At first, you really didn't hear anything, but you started to hear Jimin softly singing a melody. You smiled as you walked back as quiet as you could to see what was happening in the bedroom. You stood teary-eyed in the doorway, unnoticed, watching Jimin gently rock and sing to your son.
He has been such an unbelievably good father so far. Showing you and your guy's child love an attention that goes above and beyond anything you could've imagined; you honestly didn't expect it. Jimin was always good and kind to children, so you didn't expect him to be a bad father, but you also didn't know if you were both as ready as you hoped.
The unsure thoughts went away almost immediately after taking the baby home, as Jimin took on the bulk of caring for the baby as you recovered from the hard birth. He made sure you and the kid were taken care of first before anything and dropped any plans he would make if he thought you needed help. He's been completely selfless in the whole journey.
"Thank you, " you sniffed before completely entering the bedroom.
You bend down as you go to take the baby to feed, but Jimin stops you.
"Here let me get it this time. Go back to sleep."
"Are you sure? You have work."
He shakes his head and takes the bottle out of your hands before kissing your forehead.
"Sleep, you'll have him all day, so I don't mind darling."
You nod and climb back into bed. You turn and face Jimin, staring in awe as you watch him intently feed the baby.
"Sleep," he says, giving you a playful side eye.
You pull the covers over you, drifting back off to sleep after Jimin starts humming again.
