Surprises and Struggles

Finally Home

Since Mina was premature, the hospital naturally would've kept her longer. However, Jimin got to stay with his baby longer due to an infection starting from his stitches. As much as it hurt to do it, Jimin still wanted to breastfeed Mina, so despite the less than ideal situation, it worked out for the better. Jimin was so happy he and Mina got to return home after being in the hospital over a week. While having the nurses help was nice, Jimin wanted to sleep in his own bed next to his husband. After watching Yoongi sleep in an uncomfortable reclining chair for a couple days, Jimin made him go home and sleep in a proper bed. Today is the day mom and baby get permitted to leave the hospital. Yoongi was able to take his own car to pick up his beautiful boyfriend and baby. Another good thing is that Mina has begun to fall into a schedule for feeding, sleeping, and changing, albeit most of it was sleeping though. Everyone was so excited to see Mina, she had already even grown a tiny bit since birth.

"We're home!" Yoongi announced as he held the door open for Jimin.

"Ah, you're waaayyyyy too early!" Taehyung smiled. "Just Kook and I are here. The hyungs went to get stuff for dinner."

"Oh well." Yoongi let out a laugh and hauled Jimin and Mina's bags to their shared room.

"Is she awake, hyung?" Taehyung looked so excited as he quietly approached Jimin who was setting the carseat down, wanting to see the baby.

"She'll be screaming in a second." Soon she began to fuss and her volume crescendos fast as her mother unbuckles her from the carseat. "She hates this thing. She threw a fit when we put her in it, cried so hard she tired herself out." He supported her head as he gently lifted her out of "baby jail" and then cradled her in his arms, gently patting her back. "You're okay, Mina, mommy took you out of that mean ol' carseat!" He cooed. "Ya know, throwing a fit isn't a very grand entrance for a young lady." He teased and put a pacifier in her mouth. She quieted quickly, her dark blue eyes taking in her new surroundings.

"Awww!!" Jungkook came out of the room to see the baby. "It's nice to see you awake for once, Mina." He smiled so big his eyes formed into little crescents.

"Would you like to hold her, Kookie? I gotta use the bathroom real quick." The maknae nodded immediately. Jimin helped Jungkook gently cradle the baby. "There you go. Be careful, you can show her around if you like." Jimin gently pet her hair and wandered off to the bathroom.

"Lucky!" Taehyung pouted at his boyfriend. "Welcome home, Mina!" He gently grabbed the newborn's hand, her tiny fingers wrapping around a single digit. "Aish, so cute. You got your daddy's fingers, huh? Your mommy has cute small hands." The infant just continued to suck on her pacifier and try to look at either Taehyung or Jungkook, but her eyes didn't focus that well yet.

"She's so tiny, Tae. And she's soft and warm!" He hugged her to his frame gently.

"Easy there, Jeon, don't crush my daughter." Yoongi teased watching the younger two coo over the baby. "Don't be making any of those any time soon, got it?"

"Hyung!" Jungkook gasped, his face turning red.

"Sex makes babies, kiddos!" He gave a small smile, but kept his eyes on Mina who is now trying to look at Jungkook's face. "I think she likes you." The young brunet looked back down at the baby. She can't smile yet, but she let's out an adorable coo and starts to make little hums. "Tell him more, Mina!" She cooes again and squeezes Taehyung's finger.

"Yoongi?" Jimin returns and puts his hands on the blond's shoulders. "Could you start me and Mina's laundry, please?" He asks cutely kisses the corner of Yoongi's mouth.

"Yeah, I guess." The blond wanders back to the room. Jimin watches Taehyung and Jungkook talk to the baby.

"Such a pretty girl, Mina!" The maknae smiles. The infant shows her happiness by kicking her little feet and wiggling. Of course, its all fun and games until the baby starts getting hungry and turns her face into Jungkook's chest before starting to fuss.

"That's my job. Uncle Kookie is a dry well, sweetie." He gently took the baby and walked to his and Yoongi's room to feed her. He shuts the door behind him and sits down on the bed. "She's hungry." He says to Yoongi who's folding Jimin's clean clothes and putting them away. He pulls up his shirt and helps her latch, he let's out a painful hiss at first before breathing through the pain. "Babe, can you lock the door? I don't want anyone barging in..."

"Of course." Yoongi locks the door and proceeds to fold Mina's clothes, watching the two loves of his life. Jimin watches Mina's face as she suckles, he gently runs and finger down the side of her cheek gaining a little happy hum.

"She's so tiny!" Jimin laughs, the blond arches an eyebrow. "It so strange to think that this little thing came out of my humongous belly!" When it comes to babies; the package always seems much bigger than what's actually inside.

"Babe, your belly wasn't that big." Yoongi smiles and rolls his eyes.

"Lies! I looked like a whale!"

"Maybe to you! But to me you were just as sexy as before!" He shoots his boyfriend a wink.

"You horny bastard!" Jimin kept Mina craddled in one arm as he grabbed the closest pillow and threw it at him. "I'm going to make you wait even longer for sex now!"

"Pbfft, I doubt you could hold out longer than me!"

"Bet?"

"Bet."

*******

"Awww, hello little angel!" Hobi smiled at the sleeping Mina craddled in his arms. "It would be cool if Uncle Hobi could see you with you eyes open for once." He pouted.

"Keep them closed, baby girl. Trust me, you don't wanna see that." Yoongi teased and gently pet her silky black hair while gaining laughs from the others. Hoseok gently pushed the blond's shoulder. Mina made a squeak and both men looked down. They watched as her little face scrunched as she started to let out small whines. "You broke it, Hobi." Yoongi pointed at the crying baby. The younger rolled his eyes and handed the baby back to her father.

"She needs to be changed!" Jimin yelled from the kitchen.

"Thanks, babe!" He threw back. If it wasn't for Nayoung, Yoongi would probably put the diaper on her backwards or too loose. Luckily, he had that practice. Changing Mina was much easier as she just laid still and cried, her tiny hands balled into little fists. "Daddy is so mean, huh?" He swiftly got a fresh diaper on her.

"Un YOON-GI!" Nayoung squealed, her chubby little feet thumping against the hard wood floor as she ran into the living room. She haulted and gasped. "Baby Mina?" She pointed at the infant in Yoongi's arms.

"Yeah, this is baby Mina! Can you come and say 'hello' to her?" Yoongi encouraged but the girl was still tentative. She walked closer to Yoongi but didn't say anything. She looked at the newborn baby who was trying to open her eyes one at a time. "Come here, Nayie." Yoongi helped her up onto the couch and held her in his free arm. "Can you say hello?" All of a sudden the one-year old smiled.

"Hello, baby Mina!" She said very clearly, shocking everyone within earshot.

"Good girl, Nayie! I'm so proud of you. Very good job!!" He hugged her close and kissed her chubby little cheek, a grin stretched across his face.

"Hello, baby Mina!" She repeated again, enjoying the reaction she got from everyone. She looked at Yoongi and gave him a big dimpled smile. Her eyes then fell back onto the infant. "Hello, baby Mina!" The newborn cooed as kicked her feet and shook her tiny fists in excitement. Jimin, who was watching from afar, couldn't help but laugh at his own daughter's expression. Her mouth agape as she let out quiet cooes.

Jimin lets his hand fall to his swollen stomach. The surface was now quite squishy but he can't help but reminisce how she probably did the same thing while she was still in the womb. The thought is precious and he can't wait for the day she learns to smile and laugh. But at the same time he wants her to stay small. Regaedless of how much she'll grow over time, she will forever be his baby.
