The morning sun gently filters through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. Tae lies in bed, his arms protectively wrapped around his small universe, holding the little one close to his chest. Every so often, he leans down to plant a soft kiss on the tiny forehead, his lips lingering as if to shield this precious life from any harm.

The room is quiet except for the occasional sound of his breath mingling with the soft exhale of the baby in his embrace. Suddenly, the little bundle of joy stirs, tiny limbs shifting as she lifts her head, eyes still heavy with sleep. A small, innocent smile spreads across her face, lighting up as they see his loving gaze fixed on her.

"Good morning, my little star,"he whispers, his voice filled with warmth. she giggles softly, nuzzling closer to him who responds with another gentle kiss on her temple. His heart swells with a love so deep it feels as though it could encompass the whole world.

He caresses her hair, brushing it back tenderly. "Appa loves you more than anything," he murmurs, his voice a soothing lullaby. She gazes up at him, eyes twinkling, and then snuggles closer, content to remain in the safety of his embrace.

In that moment, he feels an overwhelming sense of peace, knowing that this small, fragile being is his entire universe, and he would do anything to keep her safe and happy.

"Tia," he whispered softly, his hand tenderly caressing her head as her sleepy hazel eyes met his. The warmth of his gaze made her smile faintly, the connection between them undeniable.

"Did you sleep well?" he asked, his voice gentle and filled with affection. She gave a small nod before nestling back onto his chest, her tiny hands clutching his bare skin as she found comfort in his embrace. he didn't move an inch, savoring the quiet moment, ensuring his little angel could continue sleeping peacefully.

Minutes passed, the world outside stirring to life, but he remained still, content to watch over her as she slumbered. Her breaths were soft and even, her body rising and falling with his.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the shrill ring of his phone. Tia's face scrunched up in irritation, a small whine escaping her as the sound disrupted her sleep. Tae's eyes widened in alarm.

"Sorry, sorry, angel," he whispered hurriedly, quickly cutting the call. His heart pounded with worry, but as he watched her relax once more, settling back into his chest, a sigh of relief escaped him. He gently kissed the top of her head, his hand soothing her back as she drifted back into her peaceful dreams.

After a while, her tiny body began to stir, her small movements causing Tae to smile. He knew his little world was starting to wake up.

"Wake up, sleepyhead," he whispered softly, his voice playful as he tried to rouse her. Her tiny head lifted, hazel eyes blinking sleepily as she looked up at him, meeting his gaze.

"Good morning, my little princess," He said, brushing her hair back from her face with a gentle hand.

She nodded, a sleepy smile spreading across her face. "Good molning, appa," she mumbled, her voice soft and filled with drowsiness, still clinging to the remnants of sleep.

Tae chuckled, his heart melting at the sound. "So, should we go for a bath?" he asked in a tender, sing-song tone, knowing exactly what would get her excited.

"Yesh, bubble baat!" Tia replied, her sleepy eyes lighting up at the thought.

He grinned, holding her carefully as he shifted, sitting up in bed and resting his back against the headrest. "Alright then, my little bubble," he cooed, cradling her in his arms. "Let's get you all fresh and clean, hmm? Appa's gonna make the biggest bubbles just for you."
