Minho cried at 3 am in the morning in his crib near their bed, hungry. Yunho sluggishly stood up from the bed and went to Minho's crib, picking up the baby carefully in his sleepy hazy state and went back to the bed, sitting comfortably on it with his back against the headboard. Minho cried even louder and Yunho stared at his still sleeping mate with amusement. He can still sleep when his son is crying this loud? Yunho shook his head while giggling a little and paid attention to his son again.

"Yes, yes. Do you want milk or blood, little Minmin? Let's try milk first." Yunho cooed as he took the warm bottle of milk on the small side table that Wooyoung had made sure to keep it warm all the time before he went to sleep 3 hours ago so Yunho didn't have to go downstairs to heat it up. Yunho taste the milk first with the back of his hand, making sure that the milk is still good and not too warm before he start to feed Minho but once Minho swallowed it, his face scrunched up making Yunho widened his eyes as the baby cried louder than before, flailing his arms and legs in Yunho's arms.

Yunho pulled the bottle away from Minho while trying to calm his son down, bouncing him gently in his arms as he put the bottle back on the side table. "Okay okay, no milk." Yunho shushed, taking another bottle that was filled with his blood and fed Minho with it. Minho finally calmed down and happily sucked the blood as Yunho watched him fondly. "You love blood more huh."

That morning, Mingi stirred when he felt something touch his nose. He was about to swat it away but stopped when he registered the smell. The smell of a baby. Mingi opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the face of his little son. Minho is currently staring at him with his little hand flailing over Mingi's face and it tickles making the father chuckle, stopping the little hand gently.

"How did you get here little Minmin? Did your mama put you here?" Mingi whispered to his son, booping his little nose and caressing his hair with a small smile. "Yes, his mama put him here because he cried so loud and refused to sleep in his crib. How did his dada sleep through it all?" Yunho huffed softly beside Minho, making Mingi widened his eyes at the sudden voice and looked over to his mate.

Mingi sheepishly grinned as Yunho looked at him with a pout on his face. "Morning, baby." Yunho pouted even more and squinted his eyes at Mingi. "You didn't answer my question." Yunho huffed, making Mingi scratch his neck, tilting his head cutely while he looked over to his son and then to his mate. "Uh... I don't know..? I didn't hear a thing..." Mingi muttered as he sat up on the bed, leaning over to Yunho while minding his son in between them both and kissed Yunho on the forehead, nose and finally the pouty lips.

"I'm sorry baby. You can rest and I'll look after him today.Go back to sleep."Mingi said, caressing Yunho's locks but the hybrid shook his head with a smile albeit sleepily. "I'm hungry. Let's just look after him together today, you already let me rest yesterday and 2 days ago. It wasn't a surprise that you were knocked out last night." Mingi's heart swelled with love and it swelled even more when he felt the same love from Yunho as well.

"If you say so baby but you need to rest more so don't push yourself too hard, okay? If you need to rest then rest and I'll take care of Minho." Mingi said, his voice laced with a bit of authority making Yunho's wolf submit to it so the hybrid nodded his head with a small kitty smile. "I promise I'll rest if it gets too much."

"LITTLE MINMIN! COME PLAY WITH UNCLE SANIEEEE!"

"Sanie, my son is not deaf but he will be if you keep on screaming like that." Mingi hissed lightly and as on cue, Minho screeched in Yunho's arms making San panicked while Mingi was glaring at the vampire. "I'm sorry Minmin. Uncle Sanie is sorry. Please stop crying." Sani whispered, caressing the baby's cheek with his thumb and luckily Minho stopped crying after that while Yunho bounced him lightly.

"Sanie hyung? Please keep it a little bit softer after this because his hearing is as sensitive as mine.."

"I will but on one condition."

Yunho tilted his head at San, "What is it hyung?"

"Stop calling me hyung. Actually, stop calling me, Yeosang, Wooyoung and Jongho 'hyung'."

Yunho pouted at that and looked over to Mingi for some help but his mate refused to look at him, staring at the wall instead, with a smirk visible on his lips.

Help me here Mingi! Stop staring at the wall!

I don't think I can help you with this one, bub.

Why??

It's 4 against 2. Wait, it's 6 against 2.

.....B-but...

Just try, okay baby? It's been like a year already since you came here and they really want you to call them without the 'hyung'.

It's awkwarddddddd.

If you can call me 'Mingi', then you can call the other without the 'hyung' too.

"Stop talking with the link! I'm getting jealous here!" San huffed after having enough of watching them talking with their links for 3 minutes. Yunho blushed as he was caught red handed while Mingi casually laughed at the jealous vampire.

"So, Yunho?" San asked and Yunho sighed as he bounced his son a little in his arms. "I guess I'll try S-sanie.." Yunho mumbled with a pout making San cheer and dance in a circle.

"What's going on? Why is Sanie dancing in a circle..?" Yeosang looked at San weirdly, entering the living room with Jongho in tow. The latter just stared at San with a judging look, walking towards Yunho and cooing at Minho, making faces to make the baby laugh.

"It's nothing hy- S-sangie.. We compromised, that's all." Yunho forced a small smile after awkwardly calling Yeosang without the 'hyung'. Both Yeosang and Jongho gaped at him, their eyes big as they stared at the hybrid who started to blush. Jongho, who is the nearest to Yunho, looks at him with anticipation. "Yunho? Can I hold little Minmin? You can go eat while at it." Yunho blushed even redder, biting at his lips before sighing softly, handing the baby carefully to Jongho, "Sure J-Jongie. T-thank you." Yunho mumbled, refusing to look at Jongho and rushed to hide in Mingi's neck.

Jongho had his mouth opened so wide in excitement while making sure to hold Minho carefully in his arms before he looked over to Yeosang and San, grinning at them. "Me?! What about me?!? Yunho?!?!" Wooyoung screeched, appearing next to Yunho and Mingi with his speed walking. Yunho whined in Mingi's neck while Mingi laughed at his mate, his arms wrapped around Yunho's waist.

"Yunhhhoooooo????" Wooyoung whined, tugging at Yunho's shirt as the hybrid is still hiding in Mingi's neck. Yunho huffed as he turned around to stop Wooyoung's hand from tugging on his shirt. "Stop it, W-wooyoungie.." Yunho mumbled, refusing to look at everyone as he cast his gaze to the floor and flinched a little when Wooyoung screeched before hugging him. Yunho let Wooyoung hugged him as San stood in the middle of them all, his hand on his hips with his chin raised for a bit, looking very smugly at the moment.

Mingi shook his head at his fellow vampires, amused by their reaction just by Yunho calling them by their name without the 'hyung' at the end.

"Okay, since he's already said all the names without the 'hyung' at the end, can my pup eat in peace now? The food is going to get cold." Seonghwa said while leaning at the wall between the kitchen and the living room, Hongjoong standing next to him. "Hyung!!! Did you hear that??! He called me Wooyoungieee!!!" Wooyoung bounced from Yunho to Seonghwa in a matter of seconds.

"Yes, I heard him. I heard all of them." Seonghwa chuckles, patting Wooyoung's head. "Now let my pup eat in peace. You guys can go play with little Minmin for a while in the living room."

--

Yunho was just about to go to the living room after finishing his food when he heard Minho cry. At least he let me eat in peace. Yunho giggled at his thought, going into the living room and watched how Minho's uncles were panicking while Mingi was trying to take his son into his arms but the others wouldn't let him.

"Give me my son."

"No! He's going to cry more! I just know it!"

"The fu-heck Sanie? Give me my son!" Mingi hissed and he finally got to hold Minho after struggling for a few seconds with San. Minho stopped crying once he was settled comfortably in Mingi's arms and Mingi couldn't help but coo and kissed the baby's nose. Yunho watched his son bonding with his mate fondly.

"This is impossible! Why did Minho stop crying??" San gasped dramatically in front of Mingi making Yunho giggle, shaking his head. "Uh, because he is MY SON??" Mingi looked at San, perplexed while he bounced the little baby gently. "I refused to believe this! It's not like in the dramas!" San huffed.

Yunho quietly went to Mingi but he didn't take Minho into his arms as he cooed at his son, putting one of his fingers in Minho's mouth to check if the baby was hungry. "He's not hungry yet." Yunho said when Minho wasn't nibbling on his finger. "Then why did he cry??" Wooyoung asked from the couch. "I told you that you guys overwhelmed my son but you guys won't listen to me." Mingi huffed, narrowing his eyes at Wooyoung, San, Yeosang and Jongho.

"We were just making faces at him to make him giggle. That's all."

"Yes Sanie, but not by having all of you inches away from his face!" Mingi hissed and Yunho finally understood what happened when he was eating in the kitchen. "Oh, Mingi is right guys. Minho might be overwhelmed by having 4 people so close to his face at once. I can sense him and he is somewhat uncomfortable just now, before Mingi picked him up." Yunho softly explained.

The 4 vampires pouted, making Yunho giggled and Mingi shook his head. "So we can't do that again..?" Jongho mumbled sadly at Yunho. "You can, just don't be so close to his face and maybe 1 person at a time?" Yunho said and the others sighed before nodding their heads.

"Hello boys."

All of them looked over to the voice and bowed. "Hello, Lord Hwan. Did something happen?" Yeosang asked as usually Lord Hwan would ask for someone to relay his messages rather than coming to the house himself. "Hyunil had been pestering me to come here with him to see the little one." Lord Hwan chuckled as Hyunil went straight to Mingi who was still holding Minho.

"Hello little one. He's so adorable! Can I hold him? Please?" Hyunil pleaded, looking up at Mingi with big eyes. Mingi looked over to Yunho, looking for approval and Yunho shrugged, nodding his head so Mingi handed Minho over to Hyunil carefully. "I've waited for a week to let you rest before coming to see this little one. How are you, Yunho?" Hyunil said, bouncing Minho in his arms gently.

"I'm fine."

"He healed himself after half an hour Minho was out of his womb." Mingi said right after Yunho answered Hyunil. Hyunil chuckled when Yunho punched Mingi's arms while blushing. "It hurts okay?!"Yunho pouted, making Mingi shake his head though he was smiling. "His name is Minho?" Hyunil asked.

"Yes, Jeong Minho."

"Oh? He took Yunho's surname?"

"Yes, I told Yunho that I wanted our son to have his surname."

"May I ask why?"

Mingi smiled, holding Yunho by the waist and pulling him closer as he planted a kiss on Yunho's temple before answering, "Because thanks to his father that I get to have a hybrid as my mate and bear me a child of my own."

"And also for bringing a little bundle of joy in this household. Since our mates are males we couldn't have children of our own so we have always hoped for Mingi's mate to be someone that can bear children and our wish came true when Yunho entered our life." Hongjoong said.

Yunho tilted his head. "So before Mingi met me, he actually preferred women?" Mingi tightened his hold on Yunho when he sensed the uncomfortable feeling from him. "I prefer someone that feels warm when I touch them and that is you."

"What if I'm not a hybrid and can't have children? Or I'm a hybrid but an Alpha?"

"Then I will still love you, bub. I've been wanting mates for so long and I don't even care if they are males or females. I just want my mate. That's all. I've found you after so long and I won't let you go. Ever." Mingi softly kissed Yunho's forehead and it melted the hybrid.

"I'm sorry pup, what I was trying to say was it would be great if Mingi's mate can bear children but we won't hate them if they couldn't either. You already had Minho and we love both you and him so much." Hongjoong said as he pat Yunho's arm with a small loving smile and Yunho gave him an understanding smile.

"We will also protect him." Lord Hwan smiled before he looked over to his mate, giving him a knowing stare. Hyunil catched on it and sighed. "I have a little bad news for all of you though.. I have another premonition.. It seems like we will have another war.. I want to warn all of you to never trust anyone outside of this Sanctuary and the one that just came and resides here in Sanctuary."

"Are there enemies within us?" Seonghwa asked as the other listened to Hyunil quietly.

"I don't know.. I can't see their faces.. What I do know is that the enemies are either from the outside, or the newcomers. Trust only each other, Lord Hwan, myself, Eden, Ray and Shin."

"Why do I feel like this will be about us again? Or specifically, about Yunho." Yeosang frowned at Hyunil and Lord Hwan. Hyunil was about to speak when Minho cried in his arms, making Yunho rush to his son, taking him from Hyunil's arms and bouncing the little bundle gently. "Because it is.. Those whose hearts are tainted with greed for power will never stop to try conquering this world and since every vampire and werewolf knows how powerful a hybrid is, they will try to do anything to have Yunho by their side.. and the little Minho too.."

"I won't let them. I will protect both my mate and my son with all my might." Mingi said, pulling Yunho close to him as he wrapped his arms around Yunho's arms that were holding Minho.

"We will protect them."
