It had been a while. A year and a few months since you and Jimin had gotten together, almost two years. Everything was perfect. The relationship was perfect.

"I don't understand why you keep making me tie your shoelaces again," you said while sitting your now five year old daughter on the kitchen counter. "Don't you know how to already?"

"Ma! It's too hard!" She complained with her arms crossed as you finished tying her shoe laces.

"Is someone being a bad girl again?" Jimin asked as he walked to the kitchen. He pecked your cheek and then carried Mina in his arms. "Aren't you excited to go to the park with daddy Jimin?"

She nodded, "Daddy why is your last name park? Does it mean that you're a park? I don't get it."

You chuckled hearing that.

"Just wait and see," he said. "Soon enough your mommy is going to have that last name as hers and you too. Just watch. Now go play with your dolly before we leave. I have to talk to mommy."

He let her down and she ran to the living room. You washed the dishes as Jimin laid against the counter watching you.

"What are you going to do while Mina and I are gone?" He asked as you finished washing the dishes. You dried your hands and turned to face him.

"Just stay here with my mom. There's nothing much to do since I don't have to work. Plus I don't want to interrupt daddy-daughter time."

"I promise we won't take long," he smiled. "I'll be back soon, love."

The next day, it was a special day for you and Jimin. It was your anniversary. Your mom stayed with Mina so you and Jimin could have time off. Jimin picked you up at night and took you to his house for dinner. A nice and simple dinner to celebrate your two year anniversary with him. After eating, you both cuddled together in his bed for a while. Not to say that you both shared a couple of kisses here and there just to fall in love with each other even more.

"Baby, I love you so much," he said, getting your attention. "I really do."

"I love you too, Jimin," you smiled, pecking his lips. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You make me happy in so many ways."

"You know, I've been thinking about this and I want to know what you think about it. Let's get married. A small wedding for the both of us," he said, leaving you shocked. "Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"A wedding? Now?"

"Baby even if I have to get down on one knee and propose to you properly I will do it. I want to make you happy. I want to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you."

"But what would my mom say?"

He smiled and snuggled his head onto your neck, "I adore you. And she knows it. My mom, if she was alive, would be happy for me that I found my soulmate and your mom would be over the moon that you accepted and moved on with your life. Baby I want to live with you, I want to wake up next to you, showering you with kisses. I want to take care of you even in the worst moments."

"Is that really our next step?" You asked, getting emotional. You never imagined getting this far in a relationship after having Mina. "I've been too happy lately that it's scary. Do I really deserve to be this happy?"

"Baby you deserve the world and even more," he said, making you face him. He held your hand and cupped your cheek. "If you are happy then I am happy."

"Then do me a favor."

"Anything," he said, certain of his answer.

"Get on one knee and propose to me right here right now."

Without hesitation he got up from the bed as you sat up on the edge of it. He got on one knee and held your hand as he said, "You know, I came prepared tonight knowing that I really wanted this. I hope you do too."

He reached inside his pocket from his suit and took out a mini box. He opened it and showed you the pretty ring inside, "Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me, my love?"

"I'd love to marry you," you smiled. He stood up and took the ring out of the box, placing it on your finger.

"It looks amazing on you," Jimin smiled, not able to contain his happiness. "Let's plan our wedding as soon as we can."

"I want it. I want this. Just with you."

His heart softened when he saw your teary eyes. He saw his perfect future in them and all he knew was that he loved it so much just because it was with you.

That night you spent it in Jimin's house making love with him once again. Feeling his body against yours again as his warm and gentle kisses were placed on your body.

When you woke up in the morning, he was playing with your fingers and his. He smiled once he saw you awake and pecked your lips. Your head was laying on his chest as his arm was basically around you.

"Tomorrow get ready to officially announce our marriage to your mom and Mina. I'll cook for the happy family if you'd like."

"Our happy family, cause you're part of it too."

He smiled and pulled you closer to him with his arm that was around your waist, "I'm glad I'm part of it."

The next day, Jimin told your mom and Mina about the dinner at his house. Mina was really excited since she wanted to go out and dress nicely. While you were getting something from your purse your mom noticed the ring on your ring finger. She suddenly came up with something, maybe Jimin proposed and that was the reason why he wanted to invite everyone to the dinner?

All she felt was her emotions all over the place. She was happy, excited, all of the above.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door at Jimin's house. He was cooking while he heard it and went to it. He opened the door to see three beautiful women outside. Well, two women and one little girl.

"Hey you're all here!" He smiled, letting you inside. He closed the door after everyone walked in and took you to the living room. "I was making dinner so once I finish I'll get everything ready for you to eat alright?"

He kissed your cheek and walked back to the kitchen. Once he finished, he served everything on the table as you walked to it.

"Looks delicious, babe," you smiled as he walked to you. He wrapped his arms around your waist and pecked your lips.

"I hope you enjoy it," he said. He let go when he saw Mina running to him and hugging his leg. He picked her up and pecked her cheek. "How's my little baby?"

"I'm not a baby!" She whined with her arms crossed.

"To me you'll always be my little baby," he smiled, sitting her down on a chair. "Let's eat up."

By this time Mina would be calmer sitting down by herself as she could also eat by herself. She was a big girl.

By the time most of you finished eating Jimin was going to announce the little surprise, "So, today's dinner is special and I want to remember it for the rest of my life."

He held your hand as he continued to talk, "We have amazing news and I hope you both like it. We are getting married."

"See Mina I told you," your mom chuckled as Mina widened her eyes.

"Ma you told her!"

She nodded and said, "I saw the ring on your finger and assumed things. Cause you know how I am. But seriously I'm so proud of you both!"

"Mommy but I thought you and daddy were married already?" Mina asked, confused.

You gulped but Jimin spoke for you, "Actually Mina, mommy and daddy were just boyfriend and girlfriend. But this is our next step in our relationship. When we get married we can live together."

"Mommy no!" Mina whined. "Don't leave me!"

You chuckled as Jimin did too.

"Baby you'll live with us. You're our child."

"But what about gramma?" She asked, confused once again.

"Oh don't worry about me," she chuckled. "Mommy will be living happily with you and daddy and I know it. That's all I want. Plus I have a little someone I've been talking to you know."

"Mom really?"

She chuckled. She indeed had been talking to a certain man for a bit and now she was going to be more free to invite him over to her house when she felt like it.

"Plus you little princess will get visits all the time from me," she said.

"Ohhh," Mina said. "I like it."

"Me too," you smiled as Jimin fumbled his fingers with the ring on your finger, looking at it as if it meant everything to him, and it did.

"I love you," you smiled and kissed him softly. He kissed back immediately, wrapping his arms around your waist. He pulled you closer to his body but you stopped him. "Babe, Mina could get out of her room any second. And what if my mom sees? Oh my god."

"Then let's go to your room," he said as he left soft kisses on your neck. It definitely was getting you weak for him.
