BEST PART

8 pm

Solar walked past the family room with a basket of laundry and stopped to glance at her wife and kids. Moonbyul was sitting next to Sunyoung on the couch, helping her study for a spelling test, while Sky sat in her lap, straddling her and staring at her sister, while she held Moonbyul tightly, clearly fighting her sleep. Both girls were super attached to Moonbyul, happy to have her home, so Solar cooked dinner and cleaned up the kitchen alone, wanting to grant them that time together. Since they secured the new house and got the keys before they headed back to Seoul Solar wanted to start packing and get the process moving quickly to get them all back under one roof permanently, so she was washing clothes so she could separate them into piles to take and piles to donate.

"Momma," Sky sighed, leaning back to look up at Moonbyul.

"Yes, baby," Moonbyul said softly, kissing the top of her head. "It's almost bedtime for you," She added, leaning back on the couch a little more, so Sky was more reclined. She locked eyes with Solar, who smiled at her and grabbed a thin blanket out of the basket at her feet, she walked over and covered Sky, who looked up at her and exhaled against Moonbyul's chest, fearing that Solar was taking her up to bed. Solar kissed her on the top of the head and noticed her clutch tighter to Moonbyul, Moonbyul hugging her tighter.

"You can stay with your Momma," Solar laughed, kissing Sunyoung on the temple. "Ready for your test?"

"I think so," Sunyoung nodded. "It's a lot of words but I think I'll be ready."

Solar sat down on the floor in front of the fire and nodded to Moonbyul, indicating she was ready to talk. Moonbyul stood up and carried Sky over, sitting next to her, and patted the floor for Sunyoung to join them, which she did quickly.

"So, Sun, aside from me missing you like crazy and wanting to see you and hug you and everything, the reason that I'm in town is that we got the house all settled in Daegu." Moonbyul smiled.

"Whoa!" Sunyoung smiled happily. "So, we are moving this week?"

"Not quite," Solar smiled. "You have a week of school to finish first, but your momma is going back on Sunday night..."

"Are you going back too?" Sunyoung asked.

Solar shook her head. "No, baby, I'm going to stay up here with you and help your mom pick out furniture and stuff through FaceTime," She told her, wrapping her arm around Sunyoung when she moved closer to her. "I really wanted to be down there with your mom to pick out the house and do a few other things with her, I will be going down there on Thursday and staying until Saturday afternoon, so we can get some more things situated. "Then I'm going to come back up here on Saturday and we'll finish packing everything up and then the two of us will fly back to Daegu for good on Tuesday morning."

"Where's Sky going to be?" Sunyoung asked.

Moonbyul rubbed the tiny girl's back and locked eyes with Solar. "Sky Sky will be with me when your mom comes back next Saturday to finalize things and get you."

"Don't you have to work?" Sunyoung asked. "Where will Sky be?"

"I only have to work on Monday, but I'm going to work from home, and if I have a meeting, then we will work through that, there are daycare facilities in my office building right on my floor."

Sunyoung frowned but nodded. "So, I don't have to stay with Imo Hwasa anymore?" Sunyoung asked.

"Just for the two nights, I'm going later this week," Solar nodded.

Sunyoung looked between her moms and nodded. "So, this time next week we'll be in Daegu?"

"Yep," Moonbyul smiled, adjusting Sky, who was fast asleep now.
