Sunday Dinner

"I ate so much I don't think I could ever eat again," Jackson groans as soon as they enter the car to leave his parent's house.

"I was going to make sweet and sour chicken kabobs tonight," Mark intervenes, almost as if he was teasing Jackson and making him purse his lips.

"Okay, maybe I can spare room for dinner."

Mark giggles, linking his hands with Jackson's as they drive back home. Mayleen was passed out in her booster seat, her mouth wide open as she snores cutely. Mark rubs Jackson's arm, looking over at him as he drove with one hand on the wheel, "Kihyun seems nice."

"He is, his husband is cool too. Kinda quiet though," Jackson shrugs, "Kihyun kind of reminds me of Jin."

"How so?"

"Very sassy," Jackson alliterates, "Like, you can tell in his tone of voice but he does it with a smile. It's kind of scary really."

"Jin does that too though?" Mark giggles, "I wonder if he's made an effort to greet them. I know he's not too thrilled with the idea of someone moving in there."

Jackson shakes his head, "What's his deal?"

Mark shrugs, "I don't know, I kind of think he's pregnant with his mood swings and all but he's never said anything and never even hinted around that he is."

"Well he can't always be on his man period," Jackson jokes, "You even mention them to him and he instantly turns hostile. I'm glad you're not that way."

Mark shrugs, "Just don't mess with my husband and my kid and I'll be alright."

Jackson chuckles, "Baby I can guarantee there's no one I'd leave you for." Mark blushes, batting his long eyelashes as Jackson smirks, "Besides, who's going to cut my hair and bleach it for free?"

Mark's mouth drops open and he smacks Jackson's arm a couple times, "You ass!"

"I think you mean, 'your ass' which is mine," Jackson smiles innocently. Mark rolls his eyes before facing his side window. Jackson came to a stop and kissed his husband's cheek, "I love you, don't leave me."

Mark giggles, "Who am I going to find that's better than you?"

"Hopefully no one so promise me even if I piss you off you'll love me forever," Jackson laughs, making Mark laugh too and kiss his husband.

"I will. Kind of too late to run from that since we're married and all," Mark smiles, "And we have a baby."

"She's not a baby, but she's our baby," Jackson clarifies, "Shownu acted like such an excited dad. He was ready to be one and his face always lit up when he talked about Kihyun and the baby."

"You did too," Mark smiles, "You were so thrilled and happy when I was pregnant. And then when Mayleen was born you could hardly keep your hands off of her. I thought for sure you'd quit your job and stay home after she was born but that's not an option," Mark giggles.

"Do you think we should try for another? I know your birth with Mayleen wasn't the most easiest..."

"I tore on a vein and lost quite a bit of blood, and her heart rate was dropping while I was delivering her. I'm just glad we came out alright," Mark said fondly, looking back at his baby girl who looks just like him, but had Jackson's nose. He hums, "Maybe we can try again when she's in kindergarten."

Jackson smiles, "I'd love that."

"He's really not a bad guy," Mark tells Seokjin once they got back from visiting Jackson's family, "Really nice, so is his husband, and he's pregnant."
