"She's gorgeous, hyung."

"Isn't she?"

Taehyung smiles as he watches Seokjin put Yebin's hat on her tiny head. The baby squirms, stretching her little arms out in front of her.

"I'm glad everyone's finally coming over. I've been looking forward to you guys meeting her." Seokjin says swaddling her in her blanket.

"I was looking forward to it too. I was starting to get jealous hearing about her from Saebin." Taehyung says making Seokjin chuckle. "It's okay that you took your time, hyung."

"I feel better today than I have in the past two weeks." Seokjin sighs. "I just hope
I'm starting to come out the woods. I hate not being as present as I want right now."

"I think you're bouncing back well, Seokjin." Taehyung says reassuringly. "A lots changing for you right now so it's okay to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and sad. You're allowed to take all the time you need."

"I just don't really have time." Seokjin says picking Yebin up from the changing table and sitting down next to Taehyung on the bed. "Namjoon's taking over finances at his Dad's restaurant so he's going to be working more. We're looking for a house and Saebin's starting baseball again right after soccer. On top of that I feel like I'm neglecting Saebin and Namjoon sometimes because all I ever do is take care of the baby. And I'm not pumping more than half of bottle every thirty minutes so I'm barely managing to do that. I almost switched to formula the other day but then I started feeling guilty because I breast fed Saebin."

"You're taking on too much responsibility at once, hyung~"

"If it's not my responsibility who's is it?

"It's Namjoon's responsibility too. He may be working more but he's still going to do all he can to make sure you guys are splitting the load when it comes to the kids." Taehyung says looking at Seokjin with a compassionate smile. "I know it feels like there's a million things coming at you. And I know nothing I say is going to make you feel better immediately. But you aren't alone. You have Namjoon and you have us. We're your friends you can rely on us. I would've never gotten through my first pregnancy without relying on you and I'm more than happy to repay the favor."

Seokjin smiles softly, looking down at Yebin's sweet face. "You're right, Taehyung. And I do feel better hearing you say that."

"Don't cry, you'll make me cry." Taehyung chuckles when he sees the tears in Seokjin's eyes. "You're a good dad, and you're a good boyfriend. Your milk supply will increase the more you feed her, that's how I was with the boys. Don't feel like you're doing too little when you're doing all you can right now."

"Thank you, Taehyung." Seokjin smiles. "You're the best."

Taehyung laughs at that. "You're the best too."

"Daddy, Jeongguk came!" Saebin's voice calls from the living room.

"Okay, I'm coming." Seokjin says standing with Taehyung. "You go first, Taehyung. I'll be right there."

"Okey dokey." Taehyung sighs as he stands, he was nearing his due date and his body wasn't letting him forget it. He was aching all over but he was used to ignoring it by now. It wasn't necessarily painful it was just uncomfortable.

When he gets to the living room Saebin has already set the twins up with some toys on the ground. "Hey," he smiles when he sees Jeongguk talking to Namjoon in the kitchen.

    "Hey," Jeongguk smiles. "How are you feeling?"

    "Like I'm eight months pregnant, you?" The brunette sighs jokingly.

    "I'm alright." Jeongguk chuckles.

    "How was he just now when you spoke to him?" Namjoon asks in a lower voice.

    "He's doing better." Taehyung nods. "I'm proud of him for staying strong, he's tough."

Namjoon nods, a thoughtful look crossing over his face for a moment. "Maybe now was a bad time to take on such an important position at the restaurant."

    "You've been waiting for a better position for years, Namjoon." Taehyung says. "You guys are going to make it. I believe in you."

    "Yeah, and Saebin's really understanding about a lot of things." Jeongguk adds. "He knows it's a busy time in everyone's life."

    "I really appreciate you guys being here." Namjoon nods with a thankful smile. "It means a lot to both of us."

There's a knock on the door and Saebin immediately jumps up to get it. "I think it's Hobi and Yoongi, Joon. Can I open it?"

    "Let me check first." Namjoon says going to get the door. He opens it to find Hoseok and Yoongi standing there with the food they promised.

    "You guys would never believe the shit we went through trying to find Samgyeopsal." Hoseok says walking inside. "I swear, there must be a shortage somewhere."

    "We only went to three places, he's just being dramatic." Yoongi says rolling his eyes as he follows him in.

    "He's acting cool and collected now but he was ready to bite my head off on the way to the last place." Hoseok says taking the food to the kitchen. "I think it's absolutely unacceptable to have to go to three places for Samgyeopsal. What's the point of living in Korea?"

    "You okay, Yoongi-hyung?" Taehyung asks when he sees Yoongi's expression. He always looks like he'd rather be anywhere else but today he looks...sad almost.

    "I'm just tired." The older shrugs. "Are you okay? Is everything okay?"

    "Yeah, I'm fine." Taehyung smiles, he doesn't buy Yoongi's excuse.

Hoseok makes a fuss getting everyone's attention as Seokjin comes out with the baby. "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. Look at her, she's adorable."

Seokjin laughs as Hoseok meets him in the living room to look at her. "Her name's Yebin."

    "She's the cutest." Hoseok pouts as brushes her chubby cheek with his finger. Yoongi joins them, looking at the baby girl for the first time. "Isn't she adorable, Yoongi?"

    "She is, you did a good job, hyung." Yoongi says smiling at Seokjin.

      "You can hold her if you want." Seokjin offers, to which Hoseok excitedly takes him up.

Hoseok and Yoongi sit on the couch with little Yebin as everyone gets their food. The apartment is always a tad chaotic when they all got together but today there was a nice calmness amongst the friend group.

    "Can I feed the twins?" Saebin asks looking up at Jeongguk. "I'll break it up really tiny so they don't choke, I swear."

    "Ask Taehyung." Jeongguk says nodding to the brunette.

    "Taehyung, can I~"

    "That's fine, Saebin. I'll break up their food for you." Taehyung says already preparing the boys' food.

    "Okay!" The eight year old says excitedly as he goes to the living. Plopping down on the floor with the boys. "Do you guys wanna eat?"

    "Yes," Jaehyung says throwing his arms up excitedly.

    "What about you? Are you hungry?" Saebin asks looking at Hanjae.

    "I eat," The baby says holding Saebin's action figure out to him.

    "I'm gonna feed you." Saebin says standing and going to the kitchen to get the food. "They said they're hungry."

    "Okay, okay." Taehyung says handing him the plate. "Use the spoon. And don't let Jaehyung eat alone, I don't want him making a mess on the floor."

    "I won't." Saebin says carrying the plate to the living room and setting up with the boys.

    "You aren't eating now, baby?" Hoseok asks Saebin. "Your food's getting cold."

    "I rather do this, hyung." Saebin says. "It's more fun."

    "Do you want me to grab yours?" Yoongi asks Hoseok as he moves to stand up.

    "No, you stay here. I'll get it. Take the baby." Hoseok says passing Yebin off before going to get their food.

Seokjin sighs as he takes a seat in the living room. "Be careful, Saebin. Not too fast." He says watching the boy feed Hanjae and Jaehyung.

    "Yes, sir." Saebin says, waiting for Hanjae to stop chewing before giving him more.

Namjoon joins Seokjin in the living room with both their food. "You okay?"

    "I'm fine." The older smiles. "I'm happy."

    "I'm happy you're happy." Namjoon smile back, gently kissing Seokjin on the cheek. "I love you."

    "I love you too." Seokjin says before scanning the room again. Everyone was in the living room eating now. Jeongguk taking a seat on the floor with Saebin and the twins.

The past two weeks have been hard, but things were getting better every single day.

Even if he wasn't completely out of the woods, Seokjin was happy right now.
