And that ladies and gentlemen is the one and only Sol!

"One... Two... Three... Four... Five... Oh!" Yuta exclaimed catching the baby in his arms. "You did it Sol! Five seconds of standing! I am so proud of you!" the baby giggled as the man planted kisses all over her face, tickling her.

"Yuta..." they heard a groggy call, and he turned towards where it came from, chuckling at the state of his newly wedded wife.

"Morning sweetheart." he greeted, followed by Sol's non sensical blabbers. "Guess what? Sol stood for five seconds!"

"Really?" Sooyoung exclaimed as she sat next to them on the ground. "That's great! I'm going to have breakfast. Had anything?"

"Just coffee. I haven't eaten since I had to feed her. Why don't you stay with her while I prepare breakfast instead?"

"Great!" Sooyoung exclaimed as she took Yuta's place on the floor, grabbing Sol right away. "Come here Sol! You're growing well. I feel so accomplished." she sang shaking the baby around who, as usual, only giggled. Yuta stared at the sight smiling, only hoping in his future, they would have a similar situation, but not with Sol.

With their own child.

While preparing food, they heard the bell ring, and both adults stopped what they're doing. It was rare for them to have visitors, only the other guys. But it was too early in the morning for them to come by.

"Someone's here?" Yuta asked as he came out to the living room, Sooyoung shrugged as she changed Sol's diaper. He went to the door and opened it, freezing on the spot. "He... Heechul?"

"Hello, Yuta." the man greeted bowing. Yuta could only half bow, still in shock as to how he found their home.

"Why are you here?" he asked, trying to keep his stand.

"Taeyong and Seulgi," he stated, "they had a child right?"

His question intimidated Yuta very much. He didn't know what to answer, scared of both reactions.

"Why do you ask?" he managed to ask back.

"I'm here to take her."

Yuta wasn't only in shock. His irregular was almost out, his eyes fading between yellow and their usual brown.

"How dare you? You have no right over Sol!" he shouted. Sooyoung heard, and was quick to take Sol into their bedroom, wanting the baby out of these situations.

"I'm her blood relative, I have the right to take her!" Heechul yelled back, but Yuta would never back down.

"You're not her brother anymore, so how can y..." he stopped realising the truth behind the mask. The mask being Heechul's words, and the truth being him. "You know. You know, that she's a new Irregular. You're not here to take her. You're here because you want to test her!"

Heechul wasn't defensive anymore, he suddenly became more persuasive instead. "Yuta, please. I'm her uncle. I just want to keep her with me."

"You're in the AIS..."

"No. The AIS dissolved. We're now part of the IRD. Irregulars' Research Department." he suddenly took out a card holder and flashed the new gold card. Yuta only furrowed his eyebrows at him, and was about to speak, before...

"Stay away from us!" they turned t the yell, "And stay away from the baby!" Sooyoung stood, hair mostly green, eyes full of the colour.

Heechul raised an eyebrow at her. "Who are you?" he asked in a mocking manner.

"I'm a Green. And I was sent to one of you're stupid camps! And no matter what you say, I will not ever let you lay a hand on this child! She is ours to take care of until when we have to! And unless Seulgi says so, I will never let you or anyone else touch her! You treat us like science guinea pigs!"

She got closer and closer with every word, and if not for Yuta, she would have almost punched Heechul. Yuta held her until her colours disappeared, and slowly sent her back inside. Sooyounh took deep breaths before sparing one more glare at Heechul, then went back into their bedroom to Sol.

Yuta turned back to Heechul. "Heechul, leave. The last thing I want is for your party to come and interrupt our lives. We don't care if you changed or not. To us, to Seulgi, and to Sol, you will always be what we saw you as." he shut the door, not bothered by the older's presence. Leaning against it, he thought about how hurt Sooyoung was, remembering her story from the day she came back.

"Sooyoung. Remember Taeyong? Well, he's changed a lot now. And, he's actually married to the Red girl everyone's talking about. This is Lee Sol. Their child. Seulgi... is in coma, and Taeyong won't leave the island until she's awake. Until then, he told me to raise Sol, because he doesn't want the baby to suffer for his mistakes."

"So, we can raise her as our own?"

"Not exactly, but kind of. She should still know who her true parents are."

"Yuta, there's something you should know. At the camp, they... they touched me Yuta. And, it still hurts."

"Sooyoung... I'm so sorry love."

"Yuta, I'm sorry, I don't know how long it will take me, but I don't think I can..."

"I get it. You don't have to worry. I care more about you than any of that. I don't care if you're scared of body contact and stuff like that. To me, you are more important."

"Thank you Yuta... But, when I was there, I could only think of you, and how I wanted to be with you. I wanted to marry you, live with you, and us to become a happy family. But, after what they did to me, I didn't think I could because I hated men. But, whenever I saw a child run around the place, I kept reminding myself that not all men are the same. You were different, and things like that. Yuta, I'm more than happy to raise Sol. I always love children, and I'm scared I can't have any myself."
