"I'm here!" I say happily as I walk into the door. I'm greeted with silence and not my pretty baby. 

"Tae?" I call out again but he doesn't answer me.

I shrug out of my jacket and take off my shoes as I look around downstairs. Breakfast dishes are still on the table and, by the looks of it, Bells enjoyed making a mess out of the pancakes.

I go upstairs and straight into Kook's room, thinking Tae's probably laid her down for a nap, but again the room's empty.

Where the hell could they have gone? His car is still here.

When I walk back down the hallway I finally hear Bells' soft babbles. I push open her room door with a wide smile excited to see my little darling. I can see her little bean sprout poking up from the top of her crib, I walk over quietly to see what's got her so entertained.

She never just sits in the crib when she's awake, she always pulls herself up and screams for someone to come and get her. I try and stifle my laugh at the scene in front of me. Bells is so content because there's a sleeping Tae taking up most of her crib.

She's playing with the buttons on his shirt while he's passed out. I snap a few photos and send them to the group chat, the others instantly reply with lots of awws and laughs about his open mouth and cramped posture.

She still hasn't noticed me and gets annoyed with his lack of attention, before I can even make a move for him, she's slapped his face and he jolts up startling her. His eyes meet mine and his face flushes.

"How long have you been there?" he asks as he tries to crawl back out of the crib awkwardly.

"Long enough to get some great pictures," I tease and he scowls at me bending down to grab Bells.

"Delete them!"

"Sure, sure," I say and delete them in front of his face.

He hears his phone dinging and opens it only to let out a loud groan. I can no longer hold in my laughter and bend over clutching my stomach as he whines at the things the guys are saying.

"I just wanted her to sleep in her own crib," he pouts and I stand up straight grabbing my pretty girl to take downstairs.

"It's fine, she looked happy and I'm sure happy to have caught you."

Tae follows out of the room and abruptly stops in front of Kook's workroom. "Hey, Kookie said he left the stuff in here for you."

"Perfect, I'll get to it right now. I wanna play with Bells for a little."

"OH! Look what I taught her to do!" he excitedly takes her from my arms and goes down the stairs.

He props her up against the back of the couch and steps a few feet away from her. Then squats down to her level and starts cooing for her to come to him. I watch her chubby left leg slowly rise as she wobbles and forcefully slams down as she moves it forward. My breath hitches and stops altogether as I watch her right foot repeat the action.

"OH MY GOD, SHE'S WALKING!" I cheer clapping my hands in excitement for her.

Fuck, she's walking and Kook's not here!

"Tae!" I draw his attention and the look on my face instantly makes him frown.

"What's wrong?!" he asks still scooting away from her slowly so she continues to walk.

"Stop her! She can't walk, Kook's not here! You're taking the first time from him!" Tae freezes and looks at Bells still taking wobbly steps towards him. The next thing I know he reaches out and pushes her down so she falls on her butt.

"Did you just push her?" I ask in complete shock.

"What was I supposed to do? I panicked!" he looks between me and Bells and I watch as her chin starts to wobble.

"Did I just watch you two idiots push my God-daughter?" Yoongi's voice sounds eerily behind me and a shiver runs down my spine.

Bells starts to full-on cry and Tae scoops her up, clutching her to his chest. He holds her in front of him more like a shield than anything and I back away from Yoongi with my hands up. The look in his eyes says he would kill both of us as soon as Bells is not here.

"I just want to remind you here that I did NOT push her. I'm an innocent bystander," I try and claim my innocence but he looks like he's having none of it.

"Give her here," Yoongi holds out his arms for Bells, but Tae refuses to pass her off. He's afraid for his life and with good reason.

❀⊱┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄⊰❀

For the remainder of the day, Bells refuses to be put down. Every time we tried to get her to stand, she cried, terrified to even attempt to walk around me and Tae. Yoongi threatened bodily harm if we didn't fix it by the time Kook got home, but we have had no luck.

"I'm home and I've got the pizza!" Kook announces as he steps into the house, arms full of pizza and drinks.

I forcefully swallow the thump that's made a home in my throat. "Perfect, I've got to go, but I'll grab the rest of the items for next week."

Tae's eyes meet mine and plead for me to not leave him alone. But no way in hell was I going to hang around and wait for that dumb bunny to find out about what happened. I start making my way to the door and freeze as a hand clamps down on my shoulder.

"No, stay for dinner, I insist," Yoongi raises an eyebrow at me, a smirk tugging at his lips, and I have no choice but to agree.

I'm going to die today.

Dinner is tense, well at least for me. Kook makes conversation about Bells' upcoming birthday, but I barely hear it. Me and Tae continue to make nervous eye contact. When dinner is finished and cleared away, I'm holding Bells on the couch and Kook is arguing with me about putting her down, he wants her to walk.

Yoongi is sitting in the armchair positivity radiating with excitement as he makes eyes at me and Tae. I shakily place her down on the floor and she starts to scream the second Kook tries to make her stand.

Worry and panic cross his face and he quickly scoops her up in his arms trying to calm her. He's softly talking to her, asking what's wrong. Once she calms, he tries to stand her again only for the cycle to repeat.

"Oh gosh, did she get hurt today?" he turns to look at me and Tae, fear clear in his eyes.

"NO!" we both answer at the same time quite loudly and his eyes turn menacing and narrow on us.

"They pushed her," Yoongi breaks the staredown we are having.

Kook calmly places Bells on the ground and takes a step towards us. "Ya'll did what?"

"L-look, K-kook, I didn't push her, it was all T-tae," I stutter out.

"Fucking traitor," Tae hisses at me and holds up his hands as Kook gets closer.

"Look she was walking and Jimin started to yell that she had to stop so you could see and I panicked and I didn't mean to scare her and-," Tae's rambling, trying to save himself.

"Look, Jungkook," Yoongi speaks again and we all whip to look at what he's pointing at.

Bells is standing on her own and she slowly starts to take steps. Kook drops to his knees not caring about the bruise he's probably going to have from how hard he went down.

"Come here, baby!" He cheers with his outstretched hands.

She continues to take unsure steps calling out 'Dada' repeatedly as she gets closer. Once her small hands clutch his large ones, he pulls her close standing up and spinning her around, congratulating her on doing an amazing job.

"Did you guys see that?" Kook turns to us with stars in his eyes.

He looks back at Arabella who's holding his face and smothers her in kisses as she laughs.

We all cheer for her and have her practice a few more times before Kook says he's gonna get her ready for bed.

"You two aren't off the hook," he says as he makes his way upstairs not even bothering to look back at us.

"I'll leave it to you, Yoongs," he shoots down and the two of us look at Yoongi who stands from the armchair with a wicked smile.
