Baby's First Christmas
"I've gotten the best gift for the girls!" Jin boasts around the big boxes he's holding.
"Not a chance in hell! I've gotten the best gift since I'm their favorite uncle," Taehyung argues back as he pulls out his gifts from under the tree.
Joon is upstairs trying to wrap his presents with Jimin's help. Hobi and Dani are snuggled up on the couch with little Jelly and Yoongi is in the kitchen grabbing drinks with the girl he surprised everyone with.
Well, everyone except me. I'd met Jamie a few days after he told me he had a girlfriend and I thought she was wonderful. She was a quiet thing but had no problem talking back and to Yoongi. He seemed utterly smitten, I've never seen him be so soft for someone, not even Jillian.
Yoongi comes back into the room and stands beside me holding a tray of drinks chuckling softly at Tae and Jin arguing.
"Why are you laughing at them?" Jamie whispers shouts.
"Because those two are arguing over nothing," he says and both men stop their argument whipping their heads in his direction.
"This is a serious matter," Tae protests.
"It is," Yoongi nods with a smug look on his face. "But I'm clearly the favorite uncle."
The other two gasp and start into a loud tirade that startles little Jelly and then makes Dani get upset and argue with the three of them, while Jamie scolds Yoongi for riling up the other two and poor Hobi is left alone trying to soothe his daughter on his own.
"Guys, she doesn't have a favorite uncle, just a favorite person which is me," I point out trying to stop their silly squabbling.
"Shut up, you dumb bunny. She does have a favorite," Jimin says walking down the stairs with a half-asleep Bells latched onto the front of his shirt, her chubby cheek pressed to his shoulder.
"Me!" Yoongi, Tae, and Jin all shout at the same time.
"Why not let her decide?" Jimin proposes and the others quickly agree.
The next thing I know, Joon is being called down to stand in line with the other guys. Dani and Jamie are sitting on the couch whispering about how dumb the guys are and I'm holding Bells on the other side of the room.
I place her onto the ground and the guys instantly start to call for her attention. Tae and Jimin are crouched down low clapping and calling her over, while Jin and Hobi snap trying to gain her attention. Yoongi and Joon stare at the other two in embarrassment, but I catch Yoongi waving his hand that's down by his side trying to call her over stealthily.
She starts to crawl over to Yoongi and the guys get louder with their call-outs, flustering her and she sits back up with her little lips pouting and chin wobbling.
"Stop it, you doofuses, you're scaring her," Dani scolds and the guys all grow quiet.
"Come here, baby," I coo crouching down, holding my arms open for her.
She smiles wide and crawls right into my open arms, I scoop her up and smother her with kisses, listening to her little giggles as her tiny hands try and grab my face.
"It's not fair, he's her dad he doesn't count," Tae whines.
"We still have the gifts! Let's see which she likes the most," Jin suggests and the others agree while me and the girls all sigh. This will be a long day it seems.
Bells is sat between my legs on the floor as she's handed gift after gift. Jimin snaps pictures of everyone as we open them. Joon got Bells an activity cube that he swears will boost her fine motor skills, Jin got her fake food that is held together with velcro so she can pretend to cut it. Hobi and Dani got her some outfits with matching shoes, Yoongi had got her some baby instruments and Tae got her a toddler trampoline. She had a great time opening the presents but didn't want anything to do with them, she was thoroughly enjoying scrunching and tearing all the wrapping paper instead, much to the guy's dismay.
"I've still got my gift. You'll love it, Kookie. I picked it out with you in mind," he pulls out a red bag with silver snowflakes all over it from under the tree and kneels down in front of Bells handing her the bag.
She squishes it and then throws it excitedly, causing Jimin to pout as the others laugh. Part of his gift now hangs out of the bag and all I can peep is something yellow and fluffy. It also catches Bells eye and she crawls over to tug at it, trying to remove it from the bag.
I go to help her and pull out a long-eared yellow floppy bunny...I glare at Jimin who is trying to suppress his laughter.
"You think you're funny, huh? Laugh it up chuckles, just wai-," before I can finish my threat, the bunny is tugged from my grip and Bells pulls it to her chest.
"Da,da,da,da," Bells babbles and Jimin loses it, no longer containing his laughter.
"Even she thinks it looks like you," he says clutching his stomach.
I'm annoyed and try to take the bunny from Bells, but she has a death grip on it and refuses to let it go. With a sigh I give up, it's hers and if she likes it, I can deal with the teasing. Jimin takes her into his arms and boasts about how he is the favorite uncle.
"That's not true, right, Honey?" Tae coos brushing his nose with hers and she instantly holds her arms out for him to take her.
"My pretty baby, let's go eat," he presses kisses onto her cheek, making her squeal. Jin and Jimin follow them out of the room to make food. She's all smiles with the dumb bunny ear clutched tightly in her hold.
"Jungkook," Yoongi taps my shoulder and motions for me to follow him upstairs into his old room.
"I have your Christmas gift here," he turns on his computer and pulls up a video. "Play it when you're ready, I'll be outside, okay?"
I nod and he quietly walks out. I sit down in his desk chair and play the video, This Is What Falling In Love Feels Like by JVKE starts to play, and then the screen is filled with clips of me and Jelly. Our first camping trip with the guys, me carrying her around the house at my height, us sleeping snuggled up on the couch, countless photos of the life we were making together. Our first days at home with Bells. Videos she clearly took of me, knocked out with Bells on my chest as she giggles on the other side about how cute we both are. The music stops and suddenly it's just a video of Jillian sitting inside Yoongi's studio.
Could you imagine if things had turned out differently?
I can hear Yoongi's voice off-camera.
Nope! I can't even imagine being with someone else besides Kookie.
What about the guy who plays Iron Man?
RDJ is fine, but nope I'd never give up Kookie, after all we went through, he's my one. There's no one I'd ever love more than him, no one I'd rather wake up next to, no one with whom I'd rather spend my life, he's amazing and he's given me so much. Look at Arabella, she's perfect and looks so much like him.
We did that, Yoongs, me and him. He's the greatest dad, you should see them together, he dotes on her so much and she only has eyes for him, she's already such a daddy's girl I'm a little jealous.
She cutely pouts and Yoongi sits on the couch beside her laughing as he passes the baby back to her.
Jealous of your daughter or him?
Both. She has the best daddy in the whole world, there isn't a single mountain in this world that he wouldn't move for her. But I did all the hard work, I want her to love me just as much as him.
Ha, she loves you too, Jelly Bean.
I love them so much, I never knew I could be this happy. I can't imagine it having turned out differently because then I wouldn't have this. He's my forever and always and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
The video cuts off and there's a knock at the door, Yoongi walks in with Arabella. I take her into my arms and snuggle her close. My chest is filled with bittersweet emotions.
"She loved you so very much and there was nothing more in this world that she wanted more than you and Arabella," I stand from the chair and engulf him into a hug, Bells crushed between the two of us.
"Thank you, Yoongi," I mumble.
"Merry Christmas, Jungkook."
