"Joon? Joonie!" Hae held her belly in her hands, her eyes not looking up. "Yes? What do you need Hae?" Namjoon exhaled. Hae faltered; was she being an interruption? "Is this a bad time? I can come back later." "That would be for the best Hae." Namjoon nodded in agreement. "Oh, okay. Uh..sorry for interrupting you. Take your time." Hae fumbled.

Hae was blinded by her tears, that as she was exiting the room she can into someone "Oh, precious cargo there Hae." Jimin cooed, giving her bump a pat. The emotions she was trying to hide from Namjoon overtook Hae "I need a hug." She sniffled, looking to meet Jimins eyes. "Oh, of course. Come here." Jimin wraps his arms around her frame, resting his chin on top her head. He will not talk until Hae is reddy, for now, he will rock her and hold her close.

"Jimin! What are you doing! It has been fifteen minutes." "Sorry Hyung. Hae needed a hug." Jimin answered. Hosoek walked to Hae, putting a hand to her back "How are you feeling?" Hae shakes her head, tries to say something but it comes out mumbled as her face was in Jimins stomach.
"Okay, let's get you downstairs Hae. You do not have to let Jimin go. Want to come downstairs with us?" Hae lifted her face away from Jimin "Will Namjoon be down there?" "Most likely not. Why? Do you need him?" "Not necessarily. Come on, can I sit next to you Jiminnie?" Jimin nods as he tugs her hand.

Hae slumped herself against Jimin who would quietly ask if you are doing okay. Her reply was always the same. Hae rubs her belly, stopping, and smiling with affection as she looked down.
"Hae? Why are you being all smiles over there?"
Hae picks up Jimins hand, placing it over the spot she felt her daughter kicking "She is kicking." Hae announces. Jimin laughed out "Oh my god, I can feel it! She is really kicking." Hae looked at the men who are all gaping at her "Wanna come feel?" She asks. The six members crowd around her, all of them reaching their hands out to feel for a kick.

Collective shouts ricochet around the room as the small one gave a couple of kicks.
"Is this the first time you have felt her kicking?"
"No." Hae shook her head "I felt it earlier. That is what I was going to tell Joonie. But-"
"I found you instead." Jimin interfered. Hae nodded "Yeah." Her voice cracking. "What happened with Namjoon?" Kookie asked. "He casted me aside, I understand he is busy. But I thought feeling his daughter kick would take his priority."
"You did not tell him?" "No, I couldn't. He made me cry and then I felt stupid." "We are not making excuses for him." Tae states. "He is writing lyrics. He can come off being cross. You need to go tell him. This is his daughter whose kicking." Tae finishes. "Come on. I'll come with you." Jimin said, taking your hand into his.
"Wait! Wait before you go." Tae halts. "What Tae?" Hae wondered. Tae lingers his hand across Hae's bump before speaking "Give your Appa lots of love and a lot of kicks." As if she was responding, she kicks. Tae sends Hae his rectangular smile.

Jimin patted her hand "We are downstairs. He will be happy." "You really think so?" Hae chews her lip. "Yes, I really do. Now go, you are giving me anxiety. But take it easy, my niece can also feel your stress."

Has knocked on the door, she felt silly for doing so; Namjoon had the door open policy, especially for her. The door opened with Namjoon on the other side "Hae? You know-" Hae grabs Namjoons hands situating them under her bellybutton "She is kicking." Namjoons mouth opened, with no words coming out. "I wanted to tell you before." Hae whispers. Namjoon found his voice "And I snapped, oh my god. Hae, I am so sorry. I had a speech prepared for when I felt her kick. But now I cannot remember what I wrote." Namjoon mumbled. "You don't need a speech Joonie. You are her Appa. She will like hearing whatever you say to her." "How about we sit down?" Hae allows Namjoon to guide her to the couch. She sits down. He sits down on the floor between her legs, lips attached to her belly "I felt you kick. How strong you are getting inside of your Eomma's tummy. Sorry if this is awkward, I cannot recall ever speaking to a tummy, especially not one holding my kicking daughter." Hae smiled while watching her husband. "You are making all these milestones, meaning you are getting closer to meeting us. I want to see your cute little chubby baby face. You will be my perfection. The good that I see in the world, the beauty that needs to be protected, that's you. The innocent, you are going to change the world. You are changing our worlds just by being in our lives." Namjoon gives one final kiss to her belly. "Can we go tell everyone she is kicking?" Namjoon questioned. "Of course we can." Hae nods.

Hopefully the boys will play along.

"My daughter is kicking! Come feel! Come feel her kick."
Hae arched her eyebrows, silencing the boys, willing them to not mention they had felt her kick already.

"She's kicking! Hyung wants to feel!" Jin jumped off the couch, rushing to Hae. His hands are lowered "Right there." Hae commented. Jin acted surprised "That is our niece Joon?"
Namjoon kisses Hae's cheek "Your niece, and our is daughter."
