Raising His Baby

Uncle Markie

I could hear Mark playing with Jae in his room so I got up to join them. I was beyond happy to see Jae with his uncle. They finally met and I could tell that Mark fell in love with my son. "So Ly, How long do you plan on standing there? Are you gonna join us?" I scoffed at Mark and reached out to grab Jae but he swatted my hand away. "No fair! You've had him all this time to yourself he needs man time with his uncle." Jae crawled to Mark's lap and Mark smirked at me. "He's had plenty of manly bonding with Joey. Joey's been the main man in his life for the past 7 months and they have boy time all the time!" Mark raised his brow to me and shook his head. He was about to speak but we were interrupted by the sound of my front door opening and feet running to us. "Babe sorry about last night! Mark called for me to go home but he wasn't there..." He froze when he saw us sitting in Jae's room with Mark holding Jae. "Thought you could keep them hidden huh?" Joey was speechless and stared at us with wide eyes. "Don't worry I told Mark everything, even about us. He's going to keep our secret for now and is going to help me tell the others." I stood up and gave Joey a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Are you going to tell him about us too babe?" I nodded and he smiled. "I'm going to tell him about that later, not right now. Telling him about Jae is going to be the first step. You understand right?" I could tell Joey was hesitant but he nodded and put his arm around me. "As long as you'll stay by my side I'll be fine. All I need is you two." Mark cleared his throat and looked at us. "Wow, y'all really did fall in love behind my back. I've always known Joey liked you but to be honest I didn't think you feel the same." Joey gave Mark a dirty look but then joined him on the floor and Jae crawled to him. "Jaeyoungie did you miss me? I missed you so much! Were you a good boy for mama?" Jae giggled and Joey gave him a hug and a kiss. Every time I see them interact my heart melts. "Guys lets go eat breakfast I know y'all are hungry and I have to feed Jae too." They followed me to the kitchen and they played with Jae as I cooked. "So you're really over him huh?" Mark left Joey and Jae to talk to me. I nodded and looked up to see his face full of worry. "I do miss him sometimes, but I love what I have here. Joey is a great father figure for Jae and I'm happy." I know Mark could hear some truth in my words. "And how do you know you wouldn't have had that with him? You left before you could find out Ly?" I frowned but pushed any doubt I had aside. "I know you might not like the decision I made, but I did what's best for my son. How would he have raised Jae with his schedule? What about the group and it's reputation? Y'all were just starting to get more recognition. It would have ended y'alls career. The last thing he needed was a scandal." Before we could continue Jae started to whine so Joey brought him to me so I could feed him and Joey continued cooking. I thought about what Mark said while Jae ate but I didn't want to doubt the decision to date Joey. I am happy with him. I do love Joey and I love how he's always been there for me. I came out with Jae after he finished eating and Mark and Joey were laughing at the table. "Since your back can I hold him?" Mark reached out for Jae and I let him hold him while we ate. "So Mark when do y'all leave for your schedule?" They're leaving so soon? I feel like they just got here. "Well Kcon is in 2 days and the scheduled stuff is only for like 3 days. So we'll be gone about a week and then come back. I'm pretty sure we'll leave tomorrow though." I smiled hearing I'd be able to spend a little more time with Mark when he comes back. "You'll come over when you get back right? I want to make up for lost time." Mark smiled and nodded. I was happy to finally see my son with his uncle Mark with Joey by my side. "I'll be here when they leave ok baby?" I smiled and nodded at Joey. "Eww you guys are gross. Don't act so mushy in front of the kid." We laughed and finished eating. Mark took so many pictures of Jae and, Joey was getting a little jealous with all the attention Mark got. "I guess we gotta head back I don't want the others to suspect anything." I frowned but I knew he'd be back soon so I was ok with him leaving. "I'll be back tomorrow baby. I can't wait to spend time with you and our little one." Joey's comment caught me off guard and he picked up on it real quick. "I meant with you and Jae." He gave me a quick hug and kiss and left with Mark. I couldn't get what he said out of my head. He called Jae ours when Jae is mine. I mean if we're in a relationship and things go well then I guess it would be ok to say that. Joey had also been there for Jae since before he was born so I guess I can see why he would call him ours. I guess.
