Lyric's Wings

Ending 2: Family (Happy E.)

     It has been 5 years since the operation. I woke up that day to mom and Steph crying tears of happiness as the doctor gave me the good news. Lyric came home a few days later. Joon and the boys arrived a week after. 

     That night, I was talking to Lyric while she was getting ready for bed.

     "Mommy, can I ask u something?'

     " Sure baby. What is it?"

     " Can I have a daddy?" Stunned at her question I look at her surprisingly.

     " Well, honey, I don't know. Why are you asking?"

     " I see movies and hear stories all the time about families with a daddy. They seem happy. "

     " Well I am happy with us right now. We don't need one to be happy but one could show up later on, You never know."

     " Maybe Joon can be my daddy. He really likes you. Would he be okay with being my dad?"  I take a minute to think and kneel down to her level. 

     " You wanna know a secret? You can't tell anybody." She quickly nods yes, smiling. 

     " Joon wants to date mommy." Her eyes get huge and she covers her mouth before squealing.

     "Really mommy? Are you going to? Please, mommy, say yes." 

     " Do you want me to date him because you want a daddy?"

     " Kinda. I know he would make a great daddy. I also want you to be happy too. Do you like him too? "

     " Yes, I do. " I answer with a smile on my face.

     " What are you waiting for mommy? Go get my new daddy." I laugh at her impatience.

     "Not so fast, baby. We need to make a plan first." We proceed to make plans while I tuck her in. I then made Tae promise to keep quiet about our plans before leaving him to sing his lullaby.

     The next day me and Lyric got stuff for a picnic. We then bring Namjoon with me to our spot. 

     " Wow, this is great. You did this for me?" He grins at me, looking touched.

   

     I waited for us to finish our chicken salad sandwiches and chips that Lyric helped prepare.  Then I signaled Lyric to do her part.

     " Joon, can I ask you a question?' 

     " Sure sweetie. What is it?"

     " Can I call you daddy?" she asks, puppy eyes in effect.

     He looks really surprised, then turns to look at me. I give him a smile and nod my head to let him know that I am okay with it before answering.

     " I would be blessed to have you call me that."  He smiles back.

     " Yay! " She jumps in excitement. " Okay daddy. I'ma go now. Have fun." She runs off excitedly and we laugh at her cuteness.

     " Wow. I have a daughter now. " he chuckles happily. 

     " Oh, that's not all. " he looks at me questioningly.

     " What do you mean?"

     " What are your feelings for me?" He takes a minute to answer me.

     " I have deep romantic feelings for you. To be honest, I think I am falling in love with you." He answers me honestly, looking nervous.

    " I feel the same." He looks surprised and hopeful at me. " How do you feel about us dating?"

     " I would be so happy to date you." 

     We walked out shortly after holding hands. We told everyone at dinner about us being an official couple.

     We got married 2 years later. He left for his military service shortly after. We kept in touch the entire time. When he came back, we celebrated which resulted in us getting pregnant. Eight months later, I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

     It is Thanksgiving and I am back at my moms. We invited all the boys and Joon's family down for the holiday. We leave for Seoul in a few days. Mom, Joon's mom, and I are in the kitchen  prepping the food, with Army eyeballing the food, while Joon's dad and most of the guys, and Steph watch football in the living room. Tae and Lyric are playing with Minji, the girl twin while Joon is changing Eunyeon. 

     "Mom, baby brother peed in dad's face again."  Twelve year old Lyric says while her and Tae are laughing. As if she understands, little Minji starts to giggle along. I get up to check on him. 

     "Joon, do you need help?"

     " No, Jagi. I got this. "

     "Are you sure? That is the third time. " I walk into the guest bathroom to see him cleaning his face. He already had the diaper on him. 

     " You know for them to only be 6 months, he has a great aim. " he replies while laughing. " Can you hold him long enough for me to clean up n change. I will get him back when done. " 

     " Okay, baby. Leave it to you to get piss faced without touching alcohol." I laugh while picking up our son, who is laughing at his own antics. 

     " Ha Ha! Funny!" He replies back sarcastically even though he starts to laugh himself. " I will be down to get him soon. " 

     I leave as he heads upstairs to change.  

     Hours later we are all gathered outside at the picnic tables enjoying the food.  I am looking around and thinking how blessed I am with this family.  I now have 6 brothers, 2 sisters ( Steph and Joon's sister, Kyung Min), 2 caring mothers, 1 caring dad, 3 beautiful kids, and a loving, amazingly wonderful, beautiful in every way, husband. 

     

Aaand that is it! I hope you enjoyed Lucinda and Lyric's story. I am getting ideas for my next book which will be a Taehyung ff. Still piecing together how I am gonna start it though. Thank you all so much for your support! Words are not enough.
