Chanyeol had just bought ice cream cones for his two joys and now they were at the park, with plans to stop at a children store before going home. Taehyung was sitting in the grass beside Chanyeol and Baekhyun, his ice cream cone dripping onto his hand and shirt as it quickly melted beneath the sun; luckily Baekhyun had had the foresight to grab a handful of wet wipes.

As Taehyung ate his ice cream, his eyes watched a family walking a dog along the path and he glanced at his parents before asking, "Mommy, Daddy, can we get a puppy?"

"That's sudden," Baekhyun mumbled before saying much louder, "Tae, we can't get a dog."

Taehyung pouted. "Why? Puppy's are cute."

Baekhyun smiled. "I know, baby. But we can't have a dog when we have your baby sister on the way."

"Oh," Taehyung mumbled before going back to his ice cream cone.

Baekhyun sighed. "Now I feel like the bad guy," he muttered to Chanyeol.

Chanyeol chuckled and kissed Baekhyun's cheek. "You're allowed to say 'No', Baekkie. And you're absolutely right, we can't have a baby and a puppy."

Baekhyun nodded with another small sigh before leaning his head against Chanyeol's shoulder.

After spending an hour at the park the family of three —- soon-to-be four —- piled into the car and drove to the nearest baby store. Chanyeol pushed the shopping cart as Taehyung walked along between Chanyeol and the cart; his small hands gripping the bar too. Baekhyun walked ahead as he looked through the newborn clothing, finding cute thing after cute thing he couldn't help but toss into the cart. Chanyeol allowed it, but kept an eye on the amount of clothes to make sure Baekhyun didn't go overboard since their baby would quickly outgrow most things.

They had progressed into the toy section of the store, Taehyung would kept slipping out from between the cart and Chanyeol to ask for different toys he didn't need. Chanyeol would tell him no and to put it back, and pouting, he would do so. When he saw his most recent favorite movie character though, Nemo, his eyes lit up and he seized the plushie fish.

He ran to Baekhyun as he asked, "Mommy, can I get Nemo? Please!"

"Ask Daddy," Baekhyun responded.

"But Daddy will say, 'No'," Taehyung said with another pout.

Baekhyun's eyes widened at the new trick Taehyung had learned —- asking the other parent when one said no. Baekhyun tried not to smile or laugh at his son's sneakiness, and merely replied, "If Daddy said 'No', baby, it means no."

Taehyung's face puffed up in anger and suddenly he yelled, "But I want it!"

"Taehyung, behave yourself! I told you, 'No'," Baekhyun sternly replied.

Taehyung pursed his lips and grumbled something Baekhyun couldn't hear. Baekhyun's eyes widened at his sudden new behavior, and he leaned forward to grasp Taehyung's shoulders as he said, "Taehyung, I don't know where this sudden new attitude came from but it better stop right now. Behave yourself."

Taehyung's bottom lip began to quiver then and he dropped the plushie before running up the aisle, he stayed within eyesight so Baekhyun didn't immediately feel the need to drag him back as he turned to Chanyeol in disbelief.

"Did you see that?" Baekhyun asked.

Chanyeol nodded and picked up the toy as he muttered, "Should we just buy it for him?"

Baekhyun sighed. "Yes, but he's not getting it until he learns how to behave, again. That was so unlike him . . ." Baekhyun trailed off.

Chanyeol pursed his lips and said, "Okay, don't yell at me, but I think he learned that from watching you, Baekkie." Baekhyun's jaw dropped and he was preparing to agure when Chanyeol said, "Let me finish. I'm just saying he's in that stage where he watches us closely, some times micking our behavior so that's probably where he picked it up from. We'll just have to be more careful and inforce that behavior like that is unacceptable. But then again, I'd sound like a hypocrite if I said Taehyung can't behave that way when you do so . . ." Chanyeol trailed off.

Baekhyun sighed. "Yeah, I understand. We definitely can't have him picking up on those behaviors . . ."

Chanyeol nodded. "Definitely, I wouldn't be able to handle both a crying baby and a defiant son...." he muttered.

Baekhyun nodded with a sigh, and squeezed Chanyeol's hand before going to talk to Taehyung. He walked up behind Taehyung carefully, in case he was still upset, and gently said, "Taehyung, what's wrong, baby? Why did you yell at me like that?"

Taehyung turned around with tear streaked cheeks and shinny eyes as he cried, "I'm sorry, Mommy!" He started softly crying again as he crashed into Baekhyun and tightly locked his arms around his waist, burying his face in Baekhyun's belly.

Baekhyun sighed and rubbed his back before reaching to lift him up with a soft grunt; Chanyeol glanced up concernedly and Baekhyun waved him off, indirectly saying he would be fine for a while to hold his son. Baekhyun gently rubbed his back and soothingly patted him as he spoke.

"It's okay, sweetie. Just remember even if I sometimes act like that, you have to know it's not good behavior, and you shouldn't act that way. Okay, baby?"

Taehyung nodded and mumbled, "Okay, mommy."

Baekhyun smiled and kissed his cheek. "Good boy."
