[ 6:12AM ]

It's Saturday, Jake have gone to work early while Jiwoo remains asleep in the bed. But then she flinch as she heard the bedroom door being push open, she turn around and open her eyes to see Jihyun walking to her making her smile. "my princess woke up early today" Jiwoo utter as she help the toddler get on the bed before hugging the smaller making her giggles. "daddy woke me up, he asked me to sleep here, with mommy" Jihyun reply making Jiwoo smiles and nods.

"daddy's arm wasn't covered with the bandage anymore, is he getting better?" Jihyun asked makes Jiwoo confused, "he didn't wear them? daddy's arm is still hurting though, don't worry I'll scold him when he get home" Jiwoo answers making the toddler chuckles and nods before snuggles closer into the mother embrace while Jiwoo caress her back. The mother is surprise when the small caress her belly softly, "daddy said mommy's pregnant.." Jihyun utter as she trace Jiwoo's belly making the older chuckles due to the ticklish touch.

"I was planning to tell you that today, but I guess your daddy can't wait to tell you" Jiwoo caress her daughter hair making the smaller smile widen, "am I really going to be an older sister?" she asked excitedly and see the mother nods making her gasp in excitement, "I'll be a good sister, I promise" Jihyun continue which makes Jiwoo chuckles and kiss the toddler forehead, "I know you will, sweetheart" Jiwoo reply.

"should we make some breakfast now?" the mother asked making the daughter nods excitedly. Jiwoo slowly sit up and help the smaller get off the bed then walk downstairs to go to the kitchen. "what do you want to have?" Jiwoo asked as she open the kitchen cabinet to see what's available for breakfast. "can we have waffles, mommy? with chocolate spread and some fruits on top too" Jihyun asked as she stand beside the mother and open the refrigerator by herself.

"of course sweetheart, you wanna help?" Jiwoo asked while caressing the smaller hair making her nods before taking out a small box of fresh strawberries and chocolate spread from the refrigerator. Jiwoo smile as she take out a bowl, the waffles mix and eggs. Jiwoo pour half of the waffles mix into the bowl and add some oil along with one egg before mixing the mixture and add some water, "can I try?" Jihyun asked making Jiwoo smile and nods.

"come here" Jiwoo pick up the toddler and put her on the kitchen counter, handing her the half mixed batter and the hand mixer to the smaller, slowly guiding her yo mix the batter. the toddler giggles can be heard through the kitchen as the mother playfully touch the girl face with some flour on her hand, drawing a heart on the girl cheeks.

"is this done?" Jihyun giggles as she asked, "yeah, we can put it on the waffles maker now" Jiwoo reply as she plug in the waffles maker and spray some oil, guide the toddler small hand to pour a few spoonful of the batter on the machine. "there, now we wait" the mother said making the toddler smile and nods.

The mother and daughter enjoy their breakfast after decorating their waffles together and send some pictures to busy Jake to show him that they're having a great morning. Jiwoo then pick up the dirty plates and bring them to the sink to wash them while Jihyun watch her favourite cartoons in the living rooms.

Jiwoo turn on the sink and start doing the dishes, clean all the utensils that they use to make and decorate the waffles. An odd sound makes Jiwoo froze in place, she hears the sound like people carving something on the wall making her look around but of course, found nothing suspicious, not even shadows out of the windows.

Jiwoo flinch when Jihyun wrapped her short arms around the mother legs, "what is it, sweetheart?" The mother asked as she turn to the toddler making her shaking her head, "I want to give you a company" the toddler utter making Jiwoo chuckles and nod before she continue doing the dishes but she can't help by feeling like she's being watched which make her anxious but try to calm herself down for the child.

As soon as she finish with the dishes, she then help the toddler to shower as she plan on taking her out. Before doing so, she text Jake to let him know what she is planning to do for the day and don't forget to send a picture of them in case anything came in the way.

"mommy, you'll look pretty in this!" Jihyun said as she point to a long red dress making Jiwoo smile, "you think so?" the mother asked making the toddler nod vigorously, "daddy said you always look good in red" Jihyun reply making Jiwoo cheeks redden up as she remembers how Jake actually said that to her everytime she wore something red in the household.

"Jihyun?Jiwoo?" the familiar voice makes the two turn around and see Sunghoon who have a few dresses in arms. "Uncle Hoon" Jihyun face lit up as she runs and hug the older legs making both of the adults laugh. Jiwoo smirks at the man and glance at the dresses, "what is this? whose dresses are those?" Jiwoo aske teasingly which make Sunghoon face become red. "someone.." He mutter as he smile sheepishly making Jiwoo chuckles, "good to know that" She reply.

"come on, Jihyun, you says you want some ice creams" Jiwoo continue as she pick the toddler up from the ground and carry her in her arms making the smaller surprise, "can you do this? won't it hurt the baby?" Jihyun asked. "no, the baby will be just fine" Jiwoo answered which makes Sunghoon surprise and look at how Jiwoo clamp her lips together.

"really? a second one?" Sunghoon asked with a wide smile and gasp when the woman nods. "I didn't plan on telling this but yeah" Jiwoo reply. Sunghoon playfully pinch the toddler cheeck making her giggles, "you're becoming a big sister huh?" Sunghoon utter making the toddler nod excitedly. "I gotta go now, I'll see you guys later, bye, sweetie" Sunghoon continue and give the smaller a quick peck on the forehead before walking away.
