The firsts to arrive were Mr. and Mrs. Min. I stood in the living room with Mia as Samchon greeted the guest. Mia was wearing a jumpsuit the same colors as my maxi dress. I gushed at how adorable she looked. Mrs. Min was the first to step into the living room with us. The others were around the house somewhere, to give us our privacy.

Mr. Min had come in next, and he went straight for me and pulled me into a hug. As we parted he looked at Mia and broke down in tears. She hates seeing people cry, so she hugged his leg. "Hal-abeoji, ulji mala! (Don't cry, Grandpa!)"

My eyes widened in shock. Mrs. Min looked at me, and I just shook my head as if telling her that I never told Mia who they were to her. "Ye, jeoneun hal-abeojiibnida. Deudieo mannaseo bangabseubnida. (Yes, I'm your grandfather. I'm so happy to finally meet you.)" Mr. Min bent down to her level and pulled her into his embrace. He stood up, taking Mia in his arms with him.

She giggled as he kissed her cheek and held his cheeks in her hands. Suddenly she turned her gaze upon Mrs. Min. "Annyeonghaseyo halmeoni! (Hi Grandma!)" I nearly fainted right along with Mrs. Min. Mia reached for her grandmother, and Mrs. Min gladly took her. "Neowa jib-e gago sipda. (I want to go home with you.)"

Both of her grandparents turned to me, and I just chuckled. "Gwaenchanh eumyeon eomma hante mul-eobwa. (Well you have to ask your mom if it's okay.)"

I braced myself for Mia's question. I didn't really want to let her go; I just got her back, but I knew that she would be safe. "Eomma, halmeoniwa hal-abeojiwa hamkke gal su iss-eulkka? Naega neoege dol-aolgeoya, yagsog hae. (Mommy, can I go with grandma and grandpa? I'll come back to you, I promise.)"

"Sure, Mia, but only if you promise to come back." I laughed as her face lit up in joy. Ah, my daughter was wiser than her age. I excused myself to go and pack a bag for my daughter. When I came back downstairs, the doorbell just happened to ring. No one else was in close proximity so I answered it.

"Hey guys. Come in, come in." I greeted Seokjin, Namjoon, Hoseok, Taehyung, Jimin and Jungkook. I smirked knowing they were looking for Mia. "She's in the living room." They literally power walked to get to her and I shook my head in amusement. Yoongi remained outside by the van and I sighed in annoyance.

Walking to him, I snatched the lighter from his hand just as he was about to give life to his cigarette. "I thought you quit?" He glared at me and I smirked in defiance, but he still refused to speak to me. "How long are you planning on giving me the silent treatment? You can't recite your vows without words."

"Maybe I don't want to get married anymore." My face fell at his confession.

"Say it again..." I choked up on my tears. Clearing my throat, I blinked away the tears and smiled. "Mia is here... she came this morning right after you stormed passed me and walked into the radio station."

"I doubt she's my daughter..." He looked at me, trying to get a reaction out of me.

"You know I find that hard to believe, especially since she looks just like you. Your parents seem to agree." This got his attention. "You don't believe me? You can see for yourself; they're in the house with her right now."

"Impossible! They're not here!" To silence him, I pointed out their car and he turned his anger on me. "What have you done?"

I let my laugh out and Yoongi looked at me like I was crazy. "Me? No, it's you who keep lying to me..." He started to speak but I cut him off. "You were at Minho's party. Minho confessed that he never raped me."

"You'd believe him over me, Chey? He's lying!" I could tell I triggered something in him. He knows what happened that night.

"AND SO ARE YOU!" Yoongi remained quiet, even after I gave him an opportunity to confess. "You know what, I'm done Yoongi. The wedding is off."

It took everything in me not to give in to Yoongi. I wouldn't be played by him this time around. I love him, but I'm not afraid of being alone and raising Mia without him. "Cheyenne wait!" I stormed into the house and breathed out my pain. I didn't want Mia to see me so upset.

Yoongi barged in the house and dragged me upstairs to an empty room. "Get your hands off of me, Yoongi!" I growled out. He let me go reluctantly. Turning away from him, I calmed down my nerves.

"Hear me out please." He begged me. I rolled my eyes and faced him, folding my arms impatiently. "I was at the party the night, but when I got there you were nowhere in sight. I had a few drinks and I blacked out. Believe me when I say that I don't know what happened or how I even got home. I've been trying to figure it out."

"Yoongi, why didn't you just tell me?"

"I was scared that you'd leave me, but you left in the end anyway..." Yoongi closed the distance between us and wrapped his arm around my waist. "I love you, Cheyenne. Please believe me when I say that I'm sorry for ignoring you this past week. I've been trying to make sense of the past."

I could feel my resolve slipping. The look in his brown eyes filled me with reassurance that he was in fact telling the truth. Still, I couldn't silence this nagging in my soul. "Will you still do me the honors in becoming my wife?"

"Not until you meet Mia..." I blurted out. Suddenly I was a nervous wreck as I took his hand and led him down to the living room. The laughter ceased once we entered and everyone turned their eyes to Yoongi.

I tried my hardest to remain stone-faced as Mia and Soojung immediately let go of both Seokjin and Namjoon's hair once they laid eyes on me. Were they really just beating them up? Only my daughter and niece... I chuckled in my head. Mia ran to me and smiled innocently. Her eyes went from Yoongi to me and back to him.

Nodding my head at her mental question she lit up. Yoongi bent down, and I could've sworn I had seen a tear slip from his eye. "Annyeong, gongjunim. Naneun ne abeoji ya. (Hi Princess; I'm your father.)"

My breath got caught in my throat at Yoongi's confession. The guys just looked at each other in shock, but kept their thoughts between them. Yoongi picked up Mia and kissed her on the cheek. She wrapped those tiny arms around his neck. "Saranghabnida appa...(I love you, daddy...)"

"Nado neoreul saranghae, gongjunim. (I love you too, princess.)" He acknowledged and came to stand by me. I was surprised when Yoongi took my hand and smiled. "Ulineun ije gajog-ibnida. (We're a family now.)"

The rest of the dinner was fun. Love was evident in all of us and I held back my tears. Mia sat between me and Yoongi. He was a complete natural at taking care of Mia. Michael sat back in approval and satisfaction over Yoongi's acceptance of me and Mia.

The night was getting late and I handed Mia's book bag to her grandparents as everyone packed up to leave. Mia, on the other hand, was spending alone time with her father. When they came back into the house Yoongi told me that he was gonna spend the night at his parents with Mia.

I gave Mia a kiss and a hug and tried not to cry. "Ulji mala, eomma! naega dol-aol geos-eul yagsoghanda. (Don't cry, mommy! I promise I'll come back.)" She held out her little pinky to me and I intertwined my finger with hers.

I smiled to block out the next batch of tears that were ready to spill over. "I trust you, baby girl. Be good for your grandparents and your dad." She nodded and took hold of her grandfather's hand. I waved to them. Yoongi hugged me next and I whispered in his ear. "Nega geunyeoleul anjeonhage jikil geola yagsog hae. (Promise me that you'll keep her safe.)"

"Yagsog halkke. Nae ttal-eul boho halkke. (I promise. I'll protect our daughter with my life.)" He planted a kiss upon my lips and got into the car with his parents and Mia. I waved to them until I couldn't see them anymore.

"Don't worry. She'll be safe." Michael said comforting me.
