Missing in the Storm

Chapter 21

Athena's POV

I wake up feeling a little groggy and hungry from my medication-induced nap. Making my way from Jimin's room towards the front part of the house and the kitchen. Passing the front room, I see an older woman sitting with the guys and holding Hera. I smile seeing them interact with the girls. I know these girls will never know a day without love. I Am not sure who the woman is but I trust Jimin. He would never let anyone around the girls that would hurt them.

Turning into the kitchen to eat before I can get spotted. I want to have just a few minutes to eat before I feed the girls and meet new people. I notice a plate in the microwave and warm it up. The guys are all very considerate of my needs. Jin puts as much into making sure I eat as Jimin does. I am sure this plate is more Jin than Jimin because of the amount of green on the plate. Smiling I dive in and quickly and quietly eat.

"Hey Princess, how did you sleep." Jimin walked up behind me and kissed the top of my head before taking a seat. Smiling I answered, "I feel good, just a little hungry. How were the girls? They weren't a problem were they?" Smiling he said, "they are never a problem. They have just been hanging out with us and my mom." Looking up from my plate I nod my head. I knew I would have to meet his family sooner or later, I just thought I might have more time. I also thought I would not be in baggy house clothes. This is going to be a great first impression.

"She can't wait to meet you. At this point, you're her favorite and I am in the doghouse." He laughed and I know he wanted to make me feel better, but it wasn't helping me much. Most of the Asian mothers I know of prefer their kids to be with other Asians. I am not sure how this is going to go but I guess I need to get it over with. Taking a deep breath I finish my food and get up to wash my dish. "She is going to love you. Just breathe, you couldn't possibly do anything to upset her at this point but leave the country. Come on princess." Holding his hand we walk into the front room with everyone else.

The small woman that shares many of the same features as my girls and their father comes up to me. I put my hand out to shake her hand, "nice to meet you, Mrs. Park." She takes my hand and pulls me into a hug. "You have given me two beautiful granddaughters. Thank you." I hug her back and smile maybe this will be easier than I thought. We pull apart and take a seat.

"I have been fussing at this child of mine for not bothering to mention you to me." She cut her eyes at Jimin and I can tell by the way we squirmed he was uncomfortable. "There is nothing he can say to convince me that in nine months he couldn't find five minutes to call me. I would have found you so much faster. I am so sorry you had to go through all of that alone." She took my hand and held it gently as she continued to shoot daggers at Jimin.

"It's OK I only did it alone for a little bit. I had my grandparents for the first trimester. And Jimin was there for the delivery. It really helped to have him there." She patted my hand and smiled. "That's good. I swear he was raised better than that." Jimin stood up and grabbed one of the girls while Suga grabbed the other. "We are going to go and let you ladies have some space." Kissing his mother and me on the forehead they all head out.

His mother and I took the time to get to know each other. She told me about Jimin when he was younger and how he and his brother got along. I told her about the Johnson's and what happened to my actual family. About how we simply didn't speak anymore. We had a falling out over money and I never looked back. I told her about the social media accounts I set up on Weverse, Twitter, and Instagram so that Jimin or one of the guys could see. "I can't believe that even with a private investigator it took so long to find you."

Shaking her head she adjusted her position on the couch. "So what are you going to do with the accounts now?" I hadn't thought about it. I kind of want to keep them since I did communicate a lot with people on them. They were my support system and family for a bit. "I'm not sure. I need to talk to Jimin first but I kind of want to keep them. I was close to some of the people on those sites and I feel like we were in it together, you know?" She smiled, "I understand I am invested in a few internet celebrity babies too." She thought it was a good idea to keep the accounts active too, but knows that Jimin may have other ideas.

"Can I ask you a question?" She looked at me and I could tell it was important to her. "Sure" She took a deep breath it looked like she was trying to word it correctly, I appreciate it. "Do you love my son?" Well, I knew it would be coming sooner or later. Taking a breath to also word my answer carefully. I am going to answer her honestly and I hope for the best.

"I want to. He and I had a week together before I came here." Taking a deep breath before I continue, "I am taking the time now to get to know him outside of what I know from television." She smiles and nods then hugs me.

"I am so glad you have a good head on your shoulders and didn't lie to me. Being in a relationship is hard. Being in a relationship with an idol like Jimin is going to be even harder. I don't want you to feel obligated to be with him just because you have kids together. I know in America it's normal for young people to have kids and not stay together. I appreciate that you are willing to try with my Jimin. I would love for you guys to get married and go the distance. I want you to know he appreciates it too. Most women would not have left their home city let alone their country for kids' father. Jimin knows he needs to put in a lot of effort to make this work with you. Don't let him off easy because it's easier for him. Love takes work from both of you, and he needs to do his part. You have already shown that you are willing to do what it takes. Just know that I will always be here for you and the girls. No matter what, those girls mean the world to me."

Hugging her I told her, "I will never take the babies from you or your family. Even if Jimin and I don't work out, you are their family and they deserve to have you in their lives. Also, I know Jimin loves the girls and would do anything for them." 

Jimin's POV

I could hear my mom talking to Athena. I wasn't paying attention to the guys. "Hey, nosey Rosey. If you wanted to know what they were talking about you should have stayed in there." Jin smiled as he patted me on the back. "No, they need this time alone. I'm just nervous, my mom was pissed with me." Hera began to scream at Jungkook and refuse her bottle. Sometimes the girls only wanted breast milk from the source. It looks like now is one of those times for Hera. Taking Hera from Jungkook, I turn to check on Rhea peacefully taking her bottle from Hobi. Now I have to man up and take my daughter to her mother so she can nurse. Normally its Rhea fussing about how she gets her milk.
