*Tiny Miracles Part 8*

"Are you the father of the lil bitty sweetheart from this room honey?" A rotund nurse walked up asking Taehyung in a jovial voice as he paced back & forth in front of the door where Irisis still lay sleeping.

It took him a minute to register what the nurse had asked.

"Y...yes, I...I'm the father." Taehyung stuttered wiping the wetness from his cheeks with the back of his hand. "Is th...there some...somthing wr...wrong." He choked up barely able to get the words out properly.

"Well....the only thing wrong is daddy needs to be close to his little girl right now. You wanna see your tiny beauty?" The nurse smiled wide patting his back comfortingly as Taehyung's face lit up instantly.

"Wh...what? She....sh...she's ok!? Taehyung covered his mouth a whimpering cry of joy & relief bursting up from his throat as he turned to his brother embracing him tightly. Both of them laughing and crying at the same time.

"My little girl is ok Jungkook! Sh...she's ok!" He yelled out a big wide smile on his lips, wet streaks still rushing down his face. He quickly turned to the nurse that now had tears of her own flowing down her puffy cheeks.

Ye...yes I...id love to see her. Wh...what about Irisis? Is...is sh..she gonna be ok?" He looked at the older nurse, a worried expression taking over his features.

"Oh...your wife is fine. She just became upset and we had to help her out. She'll be sleeping peacefully for at least a couple more hours. You may go and see her as well, but don't expect her to wake up and chat with you just yet. She's physically & emotionally drained....and rightly so, she just pushed a tiny human out of her body. And dear man it looks like this has hit you hard too darlin. Bless your heart...must be your first. This baby buisness is just as rough on daddy's as it is for the mommy's. How about you go see that tiny miracle and it'll ease the heaviness in your heart. But first, let me fill you in on alittle bit about your baby girl. She weighs right at about 4 pounds which is good.... usually at 30 weeks the weight is around 3 pounds. She's in an incubator to keep her warm, since she come out the oven a little too soon. And let me tell you, she's a fighter, I guarantee she'll be a little fireball. You can't hold her just yet, she's got some tubes -n- wires attached to her so don't let that scare you daddy. She just needs a bit of our help for now." The nurse reached up squeazing his shoulder gently as more tears fell, yet he could not remove the huge smile that remained.

"Yea I...I'd like to see m...my little girl now, an...and....th...then I'll go see Irisis. " He was barely able to form a coherent sentence without his words scattering.

"Ok...let's get you all cleaned up to meet your daughter." The nurse smiled cheekily, wiping the stray tear off her face.

Jungkook nudged Taehyung's arm and gave him a sad hurt look, his eyes glossy & red. He wanted to see this little miracle that had made an early debut himself.

"She's my niece an...and I was hoping I could see her...ju...just for a minute...please." Jkook whispered, looking pitifully at his brother. Which touched Taehyung's already softened heart.

"C..can my brother come in with m...me? Please ma'am." Taehyung asked, a pleading look on his face. If it hadn't been for Jungkooks support during this he didn't know what he would have done. He was indeed grateful that his little brother had stood beside him through this entire ordeal. Even though there had been moments he had treated him like total dog shit. Jungkook had remained loving & supportive even with him at his worse. His heart filled with love for his brother that had certainly earned the right to see the little addition to their family.

"Hmm, usually I'd have to say no....buuut since he's family I'll allow it. You can only look though and you'll have to clean & suit up as well." She looked at Jungkook giving him a sweet smile and a small nod. Jkook nodded his head in acknowledgment, an excited look on his face.

"Im an uncle bro." Jungkooks eyes were sparkling with fresh tears which made Taehyung smile and pull him into a side hug.

The two scrubbed their hands thoroughly and slipped on the papery gowns, masks, and hair covering as they stood waiting for the kind nurse to escort them to their brand new little family member.

"Alrighty....looks like you two are ready to introduce yourselves. Follow me, and remember what I said. She's hooked up to all sorts of gadgets so don't let it alarm you. Your little miracle is actually doing very well." She waved her hand for the two brothers to follow, both of them looking like big kids.

The nurse wasn't exaggerating when she said the baby was hooked up to all sorts of gadgets. However the tiny infant was moving like a little worm in hot ashes. Jungkook covered his mouth with both hands. Taehyung couldn't hold back the flood of new tears that dripped from his eyes. A joyful choked cry slipping up from his throat, his chin trembling with the overflow of emotion at seeing the teeny arms & legs moving about.

"Oh shit man....look how itty bitty she is bruhh!" Jkooks eyes resembled 50 cent pieces as wetness gathered & slid down his face staring at the newborn. Her little tongue darting out through her perfectly shaped tiny lips that matched the young fathers exactly.

"Well daddy, go sit by your little girl and get to know her." The nurse crossed her arms over her fluffy chest smiling wide. "You know what?....if I was a gambling woman I'd bet the bank on that baby becoming a daddys girl. And looks to me like she's got her fathers good looks too." She stood watching the two astounded men, a genuine smile spreading across her round face. Taehyung chuckled as tears dripped from his trembling chin.

He sat down carefullly in the chair next to the incubator staring lovingly at the tiny baby girl.

"C...can I....can I touch her?" He twisted his head around darting his puffy eyes up to the nurse for permission.

"Yes most definitely. We encourage the parents to touch and bond with their child. Let that little girl know her daddy's here." She looked on, a bright smile stuck on her face witnessing the most sincere, pure love in the young fathers eyes. This was the part of her job that always pulled at her heart strings and so far this one had been the most emotional she'd come across in her 12 years of nursing in labor & delivery.

Taehyung slipped his large hand inside the holes of the incubator touching the smooth delicate skin of the baby's tummy. He ran his long fingers over her tiny legs, arms and head that was covered with dark downy hair that felt like the finest silk. He felt her wee little fingers that wrapped softly around the tip of his pinky causing his breath to catch inside his throat, a deep sob rising up from his very soul. My God...he had never loved anyone or anything at first sight, until this very moment in time.

"Heyyyy m...my baby girl...I...I'm your daddy, my pretty lil sweet pea. You...you need to get strong so we can bring you home." Taehyung leaned forward talking just above a whisper as the baby's little legs & arms wriggled & twitched about. Her teeny fingers opening & closing as he sat inspecting her meticulously. He counted all her perfect little fingers & toes one by one. He was astonished at how small & flawless his daughter was....."My daughter," he whispered.

One day she'd call him daddy and get mad when she doesn't get her own way. He smiled imagining her calling out for him and running to him. Little curly pig tails bouncing with every step.

Jungkook stepped closer after giving his brother a couple minutes with the baby. His eyes still brimming with tears.

"Can...can I look at her? Please." Jkook looked down in utter amazement "Damn bro she looks just like you." He snickered staring at the tiny package adoringly. " I cant wait till we can hold her. She's sooo cuuute." Jungkook chuckled lightly, wiping over his cheeks, both of them gushing at the beauty of this tiny human.

~🌸~

They finally left the room and stripped off the gowns tossing them in the trash, Taehyung breathing in a sigh of relief, his tears finally drying up a bit. He was totally in love with his pretty little sweet pea.

"Excuse me sugar... I need to put your full name on this paper for the fathers information." She lifted her big brown eyes holding the tablet waiting for Taehyung to give her his name. He knew he should probably wait, but why should he? The baby was his and she would have his last name. It was his right as her father, and now that he had seen her he knew for sure this baby was indeed his.

"Taehyung Kim...but I'm unsure about what Irisis wants to name her." He answered.

"We'll wait till mom wakes up for that. You can go see your wife now." The nurse replied with a smile.

Jungkook stared at Tae, his eyes wide and a smirk playing on his lips.

"Your wife." Jkook mumbled, snickering. Taehyung elbowing him to shut his mouth.

"Ye...yea I'll go see her now. I...I really appreciate all your help." Taehyung thanked the thoughtful nurse that he was so grateful for. If not for her kindness he would have most definitely freaked out even worse seeing the baby with all those wires and tubes attached to her tiny little body.

"Thats what I'm here for darlin, I'm happy to see a young man so dedicated to his family. Your wife is one lucky lady and as gorgeous as that baby is you two most definitely need to make a couple more little ones." She tittered, causing her belly to jiggle a bit. "If either one of you needs me for anything else honey I'll be up at the nurses station, just ask for Miss Lucintha." She patted both guys backs before walking away with a big smile on her glowing face.

He and jkook walked silently into the room Irisis had been moved to. Azalea walked over taking Jungkook into a tight embrace.

Taehyung's eyes immediately landed on the guy he'd seen with Irisis that day at the grocery store. What the fuck was he doing here? Anger pulsed through his veins, as he stared at the guy with pure hatred. He held himself back from wanting to cave that pricks face in. He had some fuckin nerve to be here. His fists balled up tightly at his sides.

Azalea quickly took notice of the angered stare plastered on Taehyung's face with the strangers presence as she pulled away from her boyfriend.

"I believe I need to introduce everyone here." Azalea spoke up loud enough for them all to hear and look her way. "Taehyung this is Irisis mother Miss---" The older lady broke her off stepping forward.

"Hello, just call me Natalie. Its nice to finally meet you Taehyung. And this young man beside me is Jimin...Irisis brother." She stood reaching her hand out with a sweet smile on her face.

"We're so glad to finally meet the father of the baby. And I'm even happier that you showed up.....that certainly tells me alot about the type of man you are. Im so glad that I was able to get in touch with Azalea. I knew she could let you know what was going on or else none of you would have been here today and I couldn't let that happen...you deserved to know about your own child. My daughter has a stubborn streak a mile long, she knew how wrong I thought it was to keep this from you." The woman spoke candidly.

'Irisis brother'....Taehyung was so relieved to hear that and felt a bit ashamed of himself for wanting to punch the guy as soon as he walked inside the room. But how could he have known this guy wasn't someone Irisis was dating? The guy was Asian and Irisis was American...so they did not look like siblings. Maybe Jimin was adopted. In any case he was damn happy that was cleared up causing him to lower his guard and relax.

"Its nice to meet the mother....and brother of the woman I love. I want you both to know that I would have definitely been with her throughout this entire pregnancy. Had I known of course. I wish she hadn't hid herself from me. And she also believes the age gap between she & I is a huge issue. Which I don't think it is at all when you truly care about someone. " I spoke bluntly, although her mom seem to know everything already. I wasn't tryna make Irisis look any worse than she already did, but what she had done was wrong and it wasn't only me that realized this and I was thankful for that.

"We definitely know your not the blame. And I don't understand why she feels the age difference is a big deal since her father was years younger than myself" She shook her head sighing.

"Now I must go see my precious grand daughter, I can't wait any longer. Have you seen her yet?" Irisis mom asked Tae.

"Yes indeed I have....she's beautiful. She weighs 4 pounds. The nurse said usually at 30 weeks they only weigh 3 pounds so thats really good. She has some tubes and wires hooked up to her an is inside an incubator, but the nurse said she's doing great. She's a little fighter." Taehyung explained the entire condition of the baby, his chest puffed out with pride & joy.

Irisis mother smiled wide looking up at the young man speak with such love and care.

"Your gonna be an absolutely wonderful father Taehyung. Thank you for telling me how she's doing. I've been so worried." She suddenly hugged him. He reciprocated, even though he was a tad shocked at the woman's actions. Yet he understood. Today had been one hell of an emotional Rollercoaster....for everyone involved.

After Natalie left the room to go see the baby, Irisis brother stepped up to shake Taehyung's hand telling him he was grateful that his sister had finally met a decent guy, making it clear that he was undoubtedly more pleased with him than Cameron.

A smile spread across Tae's mouth. It seemed as though noone liked the asshole Irisis had been married to. He was extremely glad they had divorced. Nomatter what happened now they would always be connected through the child they created. Taehyung was truly hurt that she had tried to keep the baby from him and hoped he would be capable of getting over the resentment he felt toward Irisis.
