Morning came and Taeyeon managed to go through the rest of the night peacefully wrapped around her wife's arm. The sight of her sleeping wife was the first to welcome her vision after she opened her sleepy eyes. She also looked so secure and peaceful. It was definitely a sight that made Taeyeon felt more at ease. Her hand moved carefully to tuck strands of Tiffany's hair that rested on her face. The dim sunlight that crept from the curtain showered her flawless skin. And Taeyeon felt herself falling in love deeper for her wife. Taeyeon scooted closer slowly and pressed a feather-light kiss on her forehead. She pulled back and smiled when she saw Tiffany stayed still, didn't move to her touch
'She sleeps well'
Just as she decided to go back to sleep as she waited for Tiffany to wake up, the bedroom door was opened. Taeyeon could feel tears burning in her eyes when she saw her daughter on the doorway over Tiffany's shoulder. Irene's eyes widen in shock seeing the other person beside her mom's body
"Daddy ? Is that you ?" Her voice was full of disbelief, accompanied with tears that streamed down her small face
Tiffany's eyelids shot open at the voice and turned her body to face her daughter while Taeyeon quickly jumped off from the bed and walked to the little girl
"Daddy's home, Irene-ah" Without any words, Irene ran towards Taeyeon's kneeling figure, burying herself in the strong body she had missed so much. Crying sounds filled the small room as soon as the girl wrapped her arms around Taeyeon's neck. Taeyeon let out a sigh and a tear drop while caressing her small back. Taeyeon quickly wiped her tear and shone a smile when the girl on her hold pulled back to meet their eyes. Irene's face was flushed and wet from tears. She kept on sniffing and sobbing while letting Taeyeon wiped her tears with her thumbs. Tiffany who was witnessing the heartfelt scene could only wiped her own happy tears. She was happy for the both of them to finally met after a long time. She knew how hard it is to miss someone
"I miss you so much.. Why.. Why didn't you wake me up ?" The cry worsen as she lurched her body to Taeyeon's again. Taeyeon carried her easily as she stood up and walked to the bed, sitting beside Tiffany who sat in the edge of the bed
"Shh shh.. Daddy's sorry.. I really miss you, too. But you were sleeping so soundly last night. Daddy don't want to wake you up" Taeyeon apologetically said while caressing her back. However, the child kept on crying, arms strangling around her dad's neck, and hiding her face there
"Stop crying, baby girl.. You're gonna be an unnie soon. You wouldn't want baby sister laughing at her unnie who cry so much right ?" Taeyeon said jokingly followed by a giggle as she snuggled her face to her daughter's, showering her with kisses. A child giggle was heard in between the sniffs this time.
"As an apology, let's go on a date together with mommy, shall we ?"

"Daddy, aaaaa" The little girl pointed a fork with a huge piece of waffle to her father's mouth
"That's too big, Irene-ah !" Taeyeon complained with a chuckle, but still accepted it in her mouth. Tiffany and the little girl that was sitting on top of Taeyeon's lap could only laugh when they saw Taeyeon having a hard time chewing a mouthful of waffle
"Daddy looks like a pelican !"
More laughter filled the spacey old cafe while Taeyeon covered her mouth with her hand as she almost spill out the food inside her mouth because of her daughter's remark. She calmed herself down and moved her hands to grab the fork and knife
