Yoongi stared at Minseo as she slept on his chest. His eyes wouldn't stop watering no matter how many times he's tried to tell himself to stop. He just can't believe it's midnight, the day of his daughter's birth. His chin wobbles as he felt more tears pour over the rims of his eyes, the bedroom door to her nursery opens and Jooheon rubs his eyes, "Babe?"

"She's officially a year old," Yoongi answers, his voice wobbly.

"Well, technically she's not until ten o'clock tonight," Jooheon chuckles, coming over to him and sitting beside the rocking chair Yoongi was sitting in, "Babe, it's late. Come to bed."

"I can't," he sobs, "I want to hold her while she's still little-"

"Baby," Jooheon laughs, cooing as he kisses Yoongi's temple, "Bring her with you. She can sleep with us today."

Yoongi sniffles, "You mean it?"

"Well yeah, have I ever said no to you?"

Yoongi laughs, wiping his face of the tears he's shed the past two hours, "Okay."

He stands up slowly to not wake up Minseo, the baby just shorts and nuzzles her face in Yoongi's neck from the sudden movement. Jooheon follows them, his hand caresses Yoongi's lower back as they enter the main bedroom. Yoongi slowly lays down on their bed, holding Minseo close as he buries his face in her long black hair.

Minseo was so beautiful sleeping. Usually people look disgusting when they sleep, but his little angel looked just like that: a little angel. Her plump lips were opened slightly and drool escaped like no other. Her long eyelashes flutter as she dreamt, she would grin every now and then. The sight just warmed his heart. It's hard to believe this tiny human has impacted his life greatly. He's happy to be a mom, he loves his baby with all of his being.

Jooheon shuts the light off and wraps an arm around his two loves, "Get some sleep babe, okay?"

Yoongi nods, kissing Minseo's head as he slowly drifts off to sleep, Jooheon's hand slowly traces figures on his exposed hip, helping Yoongi drift off faster to dream land.

Yoongi heard Jooheon get out of bed but he didn't want to yet. He wanted to make Mini's first birthday breakfast, but he also wants to stay in bed and cuddle her until this day is over. Thinking it would help his mood, he looks through all of the pictures on his phone of her from birth until now. All in all, it was about 500 photos. Who wouldn't take photos of that gorgeous grin? Those wide eyes, those chubby cheeks? Her little hands and feet? Okay Yoongi, you need to stop.

As he scrolled past the seven month photos, Minseo started showing signs of waking up. Mainly she would stretch and whine, then wake up. This morning, she rubs her eyes cutely before pouting, her eyes squint at Yoongi before they shut and she smiles. He giggles, "Good morning princess, happy first birthday baby girl!"

She yawns, babbling unintelligent words, all he can understand is, "Mommy, appa, and yum."

"Are you hungry?" He sits up, picking her up with him and sitting her on his lap. The strong scent of urine hits his nose and he wrinkles it, "Lets get you changed real quick and then mommy and Joo-Joo will make you banana pancakes! Yummy~!"

She lays her head on his chest as he carries her to her nursery. Her diaper is quickly changed and so is her outfit (she had on onsie pajamas) to a onsie that was covered in stains from all kinds of foods. Perfect for the messy breakfast Yoongi is planning on making her.

They make their way to the kitchen where Jooheon is already making coffee and bacon to go with the banana pancakes. He even had a bottle of breast milk ready for her. He smiles when he sees the birthday princess, "Happy birthday pretty girl!!"

Minseo grins, hiding her face in Yoongi's chest and her mom chuckles. Yoongi hooks her up in her high chair, then handing her the pink bottle. Before he starts cooking, he greets Jooheon with a kiss, then takes a handful of blueberries and places them on Minseo's tray. Her eyes lit up and she squeals, babbling something in her baby language before snatching one and gobbling it up.

Before Yoongi could even get a single pancake made, she's yelling for more blueberries. He shakes his head, "You've had enough, we still have pancakes to eat!! These you're going to love Mini, they have chocolate chips in them, blueberries in them, we'll top them off with whipped cream and strawberries!! Sounds yummy!"

Minseo screams, throwing her bottle against the tray. She jumps at the noise, not realizing how loud it was. Yoongi just stares at her, the little girl chewing on her hand now. As he starts making the pancakes, Jooheon sits beside her and she grins cutely, "Appa~"

"What pretty girl?" He asks, kissing her hand even though it was slobbery.

She points to the blueberries and grins, her head tilts slightly as she hums. He shakes his head, grabbing a little bit and placing it on her tray. He places a finger on his lips, but stops when he hears Yoongi say, "I seen that."

"I can't say no to that pretty face!" Jooheon pouts, pinching Mini's cheek.

Yoongi snorts, "She's going to be spoiled rotten thanks to you."

"She already is!"

Yoongi rolls his eyes, "And who's fault it that?"

Jooheon laughs, turning to look at Minseo, "Mommy silly!"

"Mama eeeh?" She repeats, tilting her head again and she grins.

"Yep! Mama's silly!"

There's a knock on the door and Jooheon is quick to go answer it, opening it to see Jimin there with Daehyun in the car seat and the two dads trailing behind him. He smiles, "Hello I have welcomed you with my presence!"

Jooheon chuckles, letting them slip in. Jimin sets the car seat down and takes Daehyun out of it, instantly handing him over to Jooheon who had his arms open and ready to hold the one month old. Seeing him holding that baby, ignited something in Yoongi. Jimin then turns his attention to Minseo who shoved the last blueberry in her mouth, "Happy birthday to you~!"

She perks up, looking behind her and smiling when she seen Jimin. He removes her from the high chair, placing her on his hip, "Happy birthday to you~!" She giggles when he kisses her cheek, blowing raspberries on her neck.

"Happy birthday dear Mini! Happy birthday to you," he smiles, holding her close and then pouting, "I remember when your mommy was in labor with you. I remember how tiny you were when you were born, now your big and chubby."

Yoongi snorts, "Leave my chubby kid alone."

"I love your chubby kid, don't you dare try to make her lose that chubbiness!!" Jimin retorts back, kissing Minseo's face all over, "Mini, my little Mini, you grew up way too fast."

"Stop Jimin for f-"

"Watch it!" Jooheon calls, "We're trying to break her of that word!"

Yoongi catches himself and clicks his tongue, "Jimin, this is very hard for me."

Jimin nods, "I know hyung. I called you bawling my eyes out when Daehyun turned a month old!"

Yoongi shakes his head, "I'm praying for you when he turns a year."

Jimin glares, cuddling Minseo closer to him as Yoongi sets one pancake on the high chair tray, tops it with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and strawberries like he promised. Minseo sees it and bounces excitedly, reaching for the treat. She's quickly placed in her high chair, and the baby immediately attacks the pancake. Everyone laughs as she grunts and growls at the food, devouring it like she hasn't ate in days.

Yoongi sighs, "I'm going to have to give her a bath before her party."

Everyone has arrived on time and the party was fun. Minseo attacked her cake much like the pancakes, and was immediately stripped down to her diaper as Yoongi helped her open her birthday presents. He holds up a tiny gift bag, "Mini, this is from Uncle Hobi, can you go tell him thank you?"

She squeaks, bouncing happily before wobbling over to Hoseok who had his arms open and ready for her. Once she falls in his arms she kisses his cheek, he returns the favor then sends her back. Yoongi helps her open it, she pulls out a tiny purse with a toy cellphone, a stuffed mirror, a fake credit card, and toy keys in it. She pushes a button, pleased with the ringing noise it made and her eyes widen. She picks it up, "Mama hewo?"

Yoongi smiles, picking up his own, "Mini? Hello?"

"Hi mommy," she grins, then tosses the phone away to grab the purse and fling it away too. Yoongi rolls his eyes, taking the next gift from his mom and bringing Minseo to him. He sets her in his lap and pulls out a few DVDs of her favorite Disney movies, and the crocheted farm play set Yoongi had when he was a baby.

"Aww mom!" Yoongi pouts, "I can't believe you found this!"

"Well of course! I washed it already so the toys are good to play with," she smiles, "I hope she loves it as much as you did. Your grandma would be happy to see her playing with it like you did when you were Mini's age."

Yoongi smiles, Minseo was already enjoying the stuffed crochet animals and when he sets up the barn she squeaks. He pushes it away, making her whine and reach for it, "We have other gifts to open baby," he kisses her cheek, "Come on, let's open this one from Jiminie, Tae Tae, Kookie, and Dae."

Minseo whines, "No, pway!"

He sighs, pulling the bag over and taking out the tissue paper. Minseo was now focused on the bright green tissue paper flying around and Yoongi holds up a small toy piano, "Aww look Mini! They got you a mini keyboard!" He looks in the bag, pulling out a toy microphone, "And you can sing along!" Minseo was now taking the keyboard and pressing the keys, they make a pretty noise and she claps her hands. As she bangs around them a bit, Yoongi says thank you for her then pulls over Jooheon's gift, "Look Mini, Joo-Joo got you a gift."

"Appa?" She says cutely, looking at Jooheon who sat right beside them with his phone recording the whole thing.

"Yeah baby, Joo-Joo got you something," Yoongi tears into the bag and pulls out a few outfits. One was a Sully costume from Monsters INC., which will be her Halloween costume this year. The other two were for the next upcoming holidays: Thanksgiving and Christmas. He also got her some new shoes to wear with them. Yoongi gets Minseo's attention, deciding to just play along with it and call Jooheon Papa instead of Joo-Joo, "Mini, tell Appa thank you."

"Tank oo!" She grins, standing to fall in his open arms and gives him a kiss. Jooheon kisses her cheeks and sets her in his lap, Yoongi pulls over the last gift.

"Alright Minseo, this gift is from Daddy and Jinnie," Yoongi finds them standing in the corner away from everyone, ushering them to come closer and sit with Minseo.

Namjoon is her father, yet here's Jooheon sitting and holding her instead of her own father. Typical. Namjoon immediately understands and scoops her out of Jooheon's arms, cuddling her close as Yoongi tears into the large cardboard box they didn't wrap. Thank god they didn't, it's more work for Yoongi and more cleaning to do so later. Yoongi opens the box and gasps, "Minseo! Look," he pulls out the pink unicorn rocking horse, pressing the button on it's ear to make it neigh and release galloping sounds.

Minseo screams, wiggling to get out of Namjoon's arms. The dad laughs, setting her on the fake leather saddle and making her hold on to the "reigns" as she rocks back and forth excitedly. Yoongi had to get a picture, this was too cute not to get one. Seokjin smiles, "I'm glad she likes that, it was either that one or the cow we seen."

"I think she loves this one," Yoongi laughs, "Thank you guys, I haven't seen her this excited and happy."

While the birthday girl plays with her toys, Yoongi cleans up with the help from Jimin, his mom, and Jooheon. Jimin has Daehyun strapped to his chest, the newborn was eating as Jimin helped pick up trash with one hand. He was about to come help in the kitchen but Yoongi forces him to go feed his baby, he was fine cleaning up. Jooheon washes the dishes while Yoongi puts the food and cake away, he was silent until he turned to Yoongi, "I cant wait to have a baby of my own."

Yoongi frowns, closing the fridge door, "What do you mean?"

"I can't wait to have my own child with you," Jooheon mumbles, "To be able to feel that love and glory. I feel it with Mini, until Namjoon rubs it in my face I'm not her father. I-" he bites his lip, not wanting to continue but Yoongi places a hand on his back. They've been working on being more open with their feelings, like right now. Jooheon sighs, "I feel like I'm more of a father to her than Namjoon. I don't want to take his role because that's his but when he's not stepping up to the plate, I will."

Yoongi smiles, "I'm thankful you do, she needs a caring father figure in her life."

Jooheon hums, connecting their lips before pulling away, to wipe soap foam on Yoongi's chin. The older glares, "Thanks."

After everyone has went home, Namjoon and Seokjin help gather some of Minseo's new toys to take back to their house. It was their turn for her to stay the night, and Yoongi wasn't ready to give her up. He watches Namjoon load her bags, he turns to speak to Yoongi, "I'm trying to be the best father I can be for her." Yoongi stares as he continues, "I'm not the perfect father, and I may not always be around for everything, but I still care about Minseo. Therefore, I will try even harder to be the dad she needs."

Not much is said after that, they leave shortly after with Minseo passed out in her car seat. For it being late October is was starting to get chilly so he dressed her in long sleeved onesie pajamas. Once they're gone, Yoongi sighs, looking around the quiet house and hating how quiet it is. He walks to their bedroom, laying down under the covers. Jooheon enters shortly after and cuddles up to him.

Yoongi rolls over, facing him, "When Minseo is two, can we start trying for a baby?"

Jooheon kisses him, "Baby, we can do whatever you want. I'll do anything to make you happy."

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY MIN MINSEO!!!! 😭💖

I cried, I didn't want to write this because it doesn't seem right that she's already a year old damn it!! But what did you all think about Yoongi's words? I hate to tell you all, but after this chapter there's going to be larger time skips. The next chapter will probably be when Minseo goes to see Seokjin in the hospital after having the twins.

As always, thank you for the love and support 💖
