everyone meets jinmae

"Holy shit..." Jungkook said as walked slowly into the living room. His hands were covering his mouth and he couldn't stop the gasp when his eyes landed on the baby's face.

"Right?" Jimin squealed and continued to rock Jinmae in his arms. His cheeks were dusted with bright, happy blush and his lips were stuck in a smile.

Taehyung bounced up and down in his place while Namjoon and Hoseok stood next to him with huge grins. Seokjin and Yoongi sat on the couch with Jimin, both staring over his shoulders to see Jinmae's face.

"She's so... perfect..." Hoseok grabbed onto Namjoon's waist and rocked them side to side.

Jinmae wrapped her fingers around Jimin's and babbled happily. Immediately, Jimin's eyes glossed over and his mouth opened. His toes wiggled against the carpet, his posture changed, but his supportive grip on Jinmae stayed.

"Mae Mae." Jimin bit his lower lip. He lifted the hand she was holding so she would have an easier time playing with his fingers. "Daddy, look!"

Yoongi leaned over to kiss Jimin's cheek. "I see, baby."

Taehyung hummed uncomfortably when he noticed Jimin was in his headspace and shifted on his feet. He felt jealousy in his gut. He pouted and looked over at Jungkook with a scrunched brow. Jungkook nodded his head.

"You're fine, Tae. Go ahead and go in."

Taehyung grinned all boxy and went to sit on the floor by Jimin's feet. He stared up at the baby, eyes wide and just content to watch the baby from afar.

"What about you?" Seokjin said with a bright smile, catching Hoseok's eye.

Hoseok scrunched his nose momentarily. "I'm not as weak as them."

Namjoon raised his eyebrows. "You're not?" His eyes squinted in Hoseok's direction. "Baby."

Hoseok pressed his lips together and made his hands into fists. He made a distressed noise in the back of his throat. Seokjin smiled and threw his arm over Hoseok's shoulders, encouraging the younger to rest on him.

"No, you're not weak," Namjoon teased.

Hoseok gave Namjoon a big, fake pout and reached out for him, then pulled him closer to the two already cuddling.

"Hey, baby?" Yoongi asked, resting his hand on Jimin's thigh. "Let me take her, okay?"

Jimin nodded and helped put Jinmae into Yoongi's arms. Once she was settled again and staring up at Yoongi, Jimin leaned his cheek against Yoongi's shoulder. Jinmae's mouth opened and she reached up to play with a piece of Yoongi's hair. The action made Jimin squeal and cover his mouth, then pull his knees up to his chest on the couch.

"Daddy! Daddy, can I feed her? Daddy, it's bottle time! Please!" Jimin held onto Jinmae's tiny feet and enthusiastically smiled down at her.

Yoongi nodded. "Sure, baby. Have Jin hyung help with the bottle, okay?"

Seokjin held out his hand for Jimin to take, who did. They went into the kitchen and Yoongi was left with the others, still holding Jinmae.

"She really is suuuuuper cute!" Hoseok hopped onto the couch and waved at the baby. "Hiiii~!"

Taehyung nodded from his place on the floor. "So, so cute!"

Yoongi cracked a wide smile and nuzzled his nose against Jinmae's forehead. "She's so pretty."

Namjoon grinned and shook his head, giving Hoseok a look. Hoseok giggled and tilted his head to rest it on Yoongi's shoulder. He reached out to play with the blanket around her.

"Yoonie hyung, you're such a good dad."

Yoongi chuckled softly, keeping his eyes on Jinmae's face. "I've been a dad for a few days."

"Jiminie counts!"

Yoongi laughed. "Okay, sunshine. Thank you." Hoseok responded with an adamant nod of his head.

"Daddy! I have the bottle!" Jimin came skipping back into the room and jumped up onto the cushions. He leaned over. "Can I?"

"Of course, pumpkin."

Yoongi used his free hand to position Jimin's fingers over the bottle properly. Gingerly, he drew Jimin's hand closer and they both let Jinmae catch the bottle with her mouth and start to drink. When her eyes closed and she cooed, Jimin's smile softened and he gazed down at her with doe eyes.

"I love her," Jimin whispered. He stuck his tongue out, much like a blepping cat, and focused on feeding her.

Yoongi kissed the side of Jimin's head. "I love you."

Jimin giggled behind his free hand as everyone else groaned at the statement. Jinmae laughed behind her bottle at her daddy's happy faces. She reached up and twirled a piece of Yoongi's hair.

"She a-always does that!" Taehyung sang from the floor. "She likes U-Uncle Yoongi's h-hair!"

Jimin tousled Yoongi's new blue locks and laughed. "I do too, Daddy."

Jinmae babbled quietly. She tugged on his hair and squealed happily. Jimin giggled and took her hand to save Yoongi's scalp, then kissed all over her little fingers. She continued drinking with a huge smile and closed her eyes. Jimin leaned down to peck her forehead while Yoongi watched fondly.

Seokjin picked Hoseok up from the couch and took his seat, then pulled the little back onto his lap. Jungkook settled down on the floor with Taehyung. Just as Jinmae finished her bottle, she began nodding off in Yoongi's arms. Yoongi quietly stood up, giving a look to Seokjin, and the oldest nodded, beginning to gather up everyone's things.

Yoongi held his hand out for Jimin to take. They walked to the bedroom to put Jinmae down for a nap. The bedroom door closed as the front door did, and the apartment was nice and quiet again.

Jimin tiptoed across the carpet with his arms out. He smiled and giggled softly as Yoongi gazed over at him. Jimin lost his footing and he held onto the couch.

"Hey there, baby," Yoongi muttered. He held out his hands.

Jimin put his fingers in Yoongi's hands and giggled. "Shhh, Daddy! Baby sleepin'."

"Mhm," Yoongi agreed. He pulled Jimin into his lap and clutched his arms around the younger's waist. "Gotta be quiet, my fairy."

Jimin blushed and covered his cheeks with his palms. He moved his hands to Yoongi's face and squished his cheeks, making his lips puff out. Jimin gave him a kiss before shushing him again. "Quiet, Daddy."

"I am being quiet!" Yoongi whisper-yelled with a huge smile. "You be quiet~!"

Jimin giggled and put his hands on Yoongi's chest. He leaned forward and snuggled into Yoongi's neck. "Okay," he sang.

Yoongi squeezed Jimin tightly and repeatedly kissed the side of his head. Jimin sighed happily as he settled into Yoongi's arms. Yoongi rocked him back and forth, humming quietly and contently, relaxing until they'd inevitably have to take care of Jinmae again.
