"MiMi you're killing me," Jimin whined as he rocked the infant. She was screaming loudly making the boy's head feel like it was throbbing from the lack of sleep combined with her cries. So much for her barely ever crying.
"Here," Yoongi enters the room with a warm bottle in hand. He was shirtless only wearing his pajama bottoms. It was currently three in the morning and the new parents were struggling to get their two week old to sleep. The longer she stayed awake the more she became fussy leading to the boys becoming frustrated.
The boy took the bottle placing the nipple to the baby's lips. He wanted to scream when the baby wouldn't take it. "I don't understand what's wrong," he had his own tears of frustration in his eyes.
"Let me take her you crying is only going to stress her more," the grey-haired male took the baby. He placed her on his shoulder patting her back as he swayed back and forward. That didn't last long before he halted all movements. "Oh god," he groaned feeling a warm liquid of Naomi's throw up running down his back. "Well," he mumbled repositioning the baby. "Feel better now?" He asked raising a brow at his child who seemed a lot more calm. She looked at her father with an unpleased look. Her own almost nonexistent eyebrows pulled together as she had a scowl on her face.
He jumped slightly turning his head to see Jimin cleaning his back with a damp cloth. "Thank you," he mumbled. The boy hummed. The two had been a bit distant since Yoongi had caught the brunette flirting.
"What if she's getting sick?" The brunette frowned throwing the cloth in the dirty laundry basket.
"I hope not," he continued to sway the angry baby. He almost wanted to laugh at the look but instead, he laid on his side of the bed placing the baby in between him and Jimin. He placed his hand on her belly rubbing small circles while Jimin ran his fingers over her hair.
"Hush little baby don't you cry, papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird," Jimin began to sing lightly smacking the boy's arm in a silent way to tell him to join in.
"And if that mockingbird won't sing. Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring," they continued singing back and forth until they realized neither of them knew the full lullaby so they would move onto the next song which made them come to the conclusion they didn't know the any lullaby fully. They ended up singing random parts of several lullabies until they finally realized the infant was fast asleep.
"Finally," Jimin whispered taking a deep breath. "Should I put her in the crib?"
"What if she wakes up?" Yoongi was really not trying to spend another hour trying to put the baby back to sleep. "She'll be up in a two hour to eat again anyway."
The brunette pursed his lips. "Okay, just be careful not to roll over on her," he would have argued more but he was just too tired. So for the next few hours, the family of three slept cuddled up to one another.

"What are we supposed to do when we go back to school?" Jimin asked as the tool laid in bed. Their baby still in between them a pacifier in her mouth. She was wide awake as if she hadn't spent a large portion of the night crying.
"Pray she starts sleeping through the night and if she doesn't drink gallons of coffee," he mumbled shaking a baby rattle immediately catching his daughters attention. Her eyes wide. He mimicked her stare and opened his mouth faking shock. He placed it in her little hand and moving her hand so she would rattle it herself. Her eyes got even wider making the parents stare at her with adoration.
She made them more exhausted than they have ever been but they absolutely adored her. When you compare her to Jimin and Yoongi's baby pictures she looked more like her daddy except for her plump doll-like lips she very obviously got from her papa. Her little nose resembled daddy's. She had one monolid and one double lid and her eye shape was closer to Yoongi's than Jimin's. In conclusion, she was her father's twin. Was Jimin a little salty he carried her for months and endured many painful hours of labor and birth only for her to come out looking almost nothing like him? Yes, just a tiny bit but she is still the cutest baby he has ever laid eyes on.
"So exciting, huh?" Jimin mumbled watching as Yoongi shook her hand again causing the sound to emit from the toy. The rattle fell from her little hand causing her to spit out her pacifier and a loud cry left her lips. Jimin was quick to take the toy shaking it to show her it was still around. She was silenced immediately her eyes moving to the sound.
"So," Yoongi started sitting up a bit. "Are you going to do soccer this year or?"
The brunette looked down at Naomi who was now sticking out her tongue. "I don't think so. I can't leave you taking care of her all on your own."
"But I know you've been trying hard to get a scholarship," The grey-haired shrugged his shoulders. "I don't mind taking care of her. I know it's important for you."
Jimin had forgotten he had told the teen about that. He had a few scouts who were potentially interested. Hell, one of them was the college he had checked out the day Naomi was born. If he could manage to get that scholarship he wouldn't have to take out huge loans like he was planning to. It would save him from a pile of debt. "That's too much to ask. She's not just your responsibility."
"Jimin, I'm offering. I'm willing to do it as long as you try hard to get that scholarship," the boy said.
Jimin stared down at the baby. He had been so sure he wouldn't be able to play this year. He had come to terms with it but the opportunity was right in front of him who was he to say no. "Thank you," Jimin went to place his hand over Yoongi's only for the boy pulled away.
The boy frowned. "Why are you so mad at me?"
"I'm not mad," the teen mumbled as he placed the pacifier against Naomi's lips as she began to become fussy without it.
"But you are. You said you didn't care-"
"No I said you didn't owe me an explanation," he corrected the boy. "Which you don't. We aren't dating."
"But you want to date?" The brunette asked trying to look the other in the eye. The grey-haired boy avoided eye contact staring at the wall in front of them.
He puffed out his cheeks before blowing out the air shrugging. "Honestly yeah, I did."
Jimin licked his lips capturing his bottom lip in between his teeth. "Did? As in past tense."
Yoongi simply nodded a blank look on his face. "So you wouldn't want to be my boyfriend anymore?" He questioned. The teen didn't respond. Not ever a shake of his head or a shrug.
"All because I flirted? It was flirting. I didn't fuck her. How could a little flirting change your mind?" He tried to keep his voice calm as to not frighten his daughter but he was becoming irritated that what he deemed as a small act could possibly ruin his chances with the father of his child.
"First off watch the way you talk. I don't need Naomi's first word being a curse word," the boy still didn't bother looking at the brunette. "Second off no it wasn't the flirting to be exact. The flirting just made me reminded me of something."
Jimin raised a brow. "And what would that be?"
"That this," he gestured between the three. "Is all a big secret to you," he said. With the excitement of having a baby, he let his mind forget just how important it was to Jimin to hide this part of his life. "It reminded me just how much I don't want to be someone's secret."
"I thought you understood," Jimin whispered. He felt a lump in his throat.
The father turned his head looking at the boy. "I do and I'll respect your decision but it doesn't mean I like it nor that I want to add to that secret. I will not be another addition to it so for now I don't think we could date."
"Are you kidding? This is so extra. You knew I didn't want people in this town finding out. You didn't seem to mind. You've been all close to me. Leading me on to believe we would eventually become official but now all of a sudden it's become a problem. We have-" he paused looking down at his baby who was now sleeping seeming unbothered by her parents. "We have done so many things yet you didn't care we kept it hidden."
"That was different. We were just messing around. Dating is different. Dating means we are committed to one another. I did think we could become something more but now that I truly think about it if we were to date I don't to be in a relationship with someone who I know will be flirting with others and do who knows what more just to keep his secrets," he snapped finally turning to look at the boy but only for a second before looking right back at the wall with his blank expression.
Jimin clenched his jaw standing up and walking to sit in front of the other. "Yes, we would be a secret but if we were together I would respect you," he grabbed the boy's face so that they were looking directly into each other's eyes. He wanted the boy to understand everything he says is true. "I won't be doing stupid shit. I would be all yours and only yours," his face was closer to the gray-haired male's. "Maybe they won't know exactly who I am with but I would make it clear I'm not available," his nose rubbed against the others in an Eskimo kiss. "But you have to give me a chance to prove that to you," he says before licking his lips and leaning down planting a kiss against the boy's lips.
The kiss was soft, gentle but ultimately it was short-lived when Yoongi pulled away. He sighed pulling the brunette's hands away from his face. "I don't want to be a secret." With that, he stood leaving the boy sitting there in the bed with their sleeping daughter. Jimin's eyes watered. He felt embarrassed.
