Surprises and Struggles

First Steps

"I want play with Kyungie!!" Jihyun demands, stomping his little feet.

"I know, Jiji, but Kyungie isn't home. Jungkook took him shopping for new shoes but I'll ask him when he gets back-" Jimin says as he goes to wipe away his son's tears, but Jihyun pushes his hand away.

"No! Kyungie!" He demands and Jimin frowns.

"I'm sorry, baby, you just have to be patient-" He cuts himself off when Jihyun just walks away crying.

"Mommy, why does Jiji get so upset?" Mina asks him.

"He's a toddler, toddlers tend to throw fits or tantrums because they don't know how to deal with frustration, they learn over time, but it'll take awhile. He just really wants to play with Kyungsan and he doesn't know how to deal with the fact he can't. Does that make sense?" He explains and Mina nods.

"So he doesn't know how to deal with his emotions?"

"More or less." He laughs as he gets out the peanut butter and jelly and bread for lunch. Mina seems satisfied with the answer and wonders off into the living room to watch television, but the moment lasted sort before Mina suddenly yelled.

"Mommy! Look! Minnie is walking!" Mina shouts over her shoulder. Jimin stops making the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches immediately and looks into the living room. Sure enough Minyoung was taking wobbly little steps to her older brother who was sitting in the corner crying.

"O-ppa." Minyoung coos as she falls on top of her big brother, hugging him.

"Awww..." Jimin sobs, a few tears escaping his eyes as he watches Jihyun hug his sister back instead of pushing her away.

"O-ppa!" She squeals softly and pulls away watching as Jihyun wipes his tears and sniffles. But the baby girl doesn't seem satisfied. She quickly crawls away and grabs Jihyun's favorite whale plushy. She once again stands and walks over to him and drops it in his lap before plopping down in front of him. "Oppa!" She squeaks.

"Mommy," Mina whispers to Jimin who's filming the whole thing. "Minnie is being nice to Jiji."

"She is, huh?" He laughs softly.

"Oppa!" Minyoung squeals and hugs her big brother again. Jimin walks up to his youngest two then, still filming on his phone.

"Jiji, what do you say?"

"Tank you, Minnie." He says hugging her back, the baby humming happily. Jimin stops filming then, needing a moment to calm himself because, god, are his children so precious. He pulls Mina into his arms and kisses her cheek.

"Oh!" Minyoung grunts and crawls over to the large legos in the corner and waits patiently. Soon enough Jihyun gets up and joins her.

"Hey, mommy?" Mina starts and continues when Jimin hums in acknowledgment. "Why do Minnie and Jiji fight so much? I wish they would get along. They fight over me too."

"They're both still learning a lot, and Jiji is coming out of being a baby while Minnie is a baby. Plus..." He sighs, allowing his oldest daughter to sit down in his lap. "Jihyun acts like you're daddy when your daddy cranky, and Minnie...well Minnie acts like that too but she's more calm, your brother is more emotional." He explains.

"So they are a lot a like so that's why they fight?"

"Kinda." Jimin laughs watching Minyoung dropping lego after lego in her brother's lap, effectively getting him to smile.

*******

"You know, it's fair, I guess. Her first word was 'daddy' and she crawled in front of me first." Yoongi pouts watching the video a third time since they put the kids to bed, listening to Jimin sniffling in the background. "Jiminie...why did you cry?"

"Cuz she's our last one and she's growing up so fast and she was being so sweet to Jihyun." Jimin's lower lip quivers, and his eyes tear up again.

"Jimin, I already got fixed once, I'm not undoing it to have to get it redone. Just because you're ovulating and you're hormones tell you that you want another baby doesn't mean you need another baby. We agreed no more babies." He says as he scolds him husband. "You can always go play with Areum or Sunhee and hold them if you get baby fever, they're both still small babies. Or like what we tell Mina to do, ask Taehyung and Jungkook to make another baby."

"But you and I make such precious babies~!" Jimin sighs, over-dramatically flopping down on the mattress.

"Jimin, baby, I love you, but you're cut off. I can't knock you up and you can't knock me up. We can have all the unprotected sex we want and still won't make a baby. Plus, I'm not getting pregnant ever again, once was enough. I will never do it again not even in my next life." He laughs as he holds the younger in his arms, running his hand through the brunet's hair.

"Jihyun threw a fit cuz he wanted to play with Kyungsan but they weren't home. Can we go over there tomorrow? I wanna hold Areum."

"Yes, we can." Yoongi laughs and places a kiss to the top of Jimin's head before turning off the lamp, making their bed room go dark. "Goodnight, Jiminie, I love you." He says once they've gotten comfortable with Yoongi spooning the younger.

"Goodnight, I love you too."
