A small bundle of warmth.

That's what Taehyung felt when he held his daughter.

A very tiny, delicate human being, bundled up in a warm and fuzzy blanket.

His daughter. Taehyung looked at her in awe. His child. His own flesh and blood.

Carefully, gently, the vampire adjusted her in his arms, eyes focused on her glassy, crimson irises.

It's not possible for a newborn pup to show its alpha status, is it? Taehyung tilted his head, the realization buzzing at the back of his mind.

Taehyung cooed and slowly rocked her in his arms, trying to shush her little cries and whines.

"You know who I am, right...?", he whispered to the baby, still fixing his gaze on her eyes, chuckling as she moved in his hold just a little.

"Yes you do."

"Abeonim. I'm your Abeonim, my sweetheart.", Taehyung murmured, touching his daughter's forehead with his own and kissing it afterwards.

"And you are my little princess... my sweet lady."

"Are you bonding with her?"

Taehyung's breath hitched at the weak, curious voice.

"My Prince..."

There lied Seokjin, on the large bed, surrounded by silk and cushions, smiling at him, looking like a tired, ruined, fallen angel.

"Can I hold her please?", the Southerner  asked with a subtle pout.

"You can not sit up right now, Seokjinah. You need more time.", Seokjin's pout got more prominent at the younger's words.

"But wait.", Taehyung shook his head, chuckling at the omega's sad face. "She can definitely be with you."

With that, the vampire got rid of the blanket that was wrapped around the baby and cautiously made her lie on his mate's bare chest, let their daughter touch Seokjin's skin, feel his warmth and recognize his smell.

He sensed the omega shiver and take a sharp breath. "Oh my baby...", Seokjin let out a watery laugh as their baby clung to the Southerner King.

"She is beautiful.", Taehyung said and gently caressed the older's hair. Seokjin nodded, face glowing with pure bliss while he tried to crane his neck and get a good look at his daughter.

"She is!", he confirmed, tufts of soft laugh emitting from his lips. "So beautiful."

"You're here, baby.", he cooed, tears of ecstasy streaming down his temples as he closed his eyes and smiled. "You're finally here."

"Are you happy?", Taehyung laughed at the question. Taking his omega's hand, the vampire gave it a firm kiss.

"The last time I've been this happy was the day when I had seen you after ten long years, my Prince.", he smiled.

"Do you know how worried everyone was? How much scared I was? You have come back to me, Seokjinah, what else do I need? What else can make me happier?"

Fresh tears brimmed inside Seokjin's eyes, his hand cupped the younger's cheek, caressing it softly.

"I was scared too... When the pain started, I was- I got so scared. I thought I will never be able to see you again. But Taehyungah.. you had asked me to stay. You said everything is still not over. How could I leave..?"

The Northerner King leaned in and kissed Seokjin's cheek. "Thank you."

"Thank you so much, my Prince. Thank you for everything. Everything."

"You've given me so much, Seokjinah...", he kissed the corner of the omega's eye. "You have no idea."

The little one between them whimpered, making both of them laugh quietly.

"How come her eyes are red already?", Seokjin wondered aloud, his hands protectively bringing the baby flush against his chest on instinct.

"She is... a vampire.", Taehyung stared at him, putting the fact out cautiously for some unknown reason.

"Taehyungah..?", Seokjin frowned at the younger. "You didn't have to say it like that. So what if she is a vampire? Why do you- Why do you look so concerned?"

"It's the reason why you were getting paler each and every day. I had never thought about this consequence before. Younger Prince was right... she has been- She has been feeding off of you. And it could've gone really wrong. God, I should've thought about this before!", The vampire looked away, his eyes unfocused, frightened at the thought itself.

"But it didn't, Taehyungah. It didn't go wrong. Look at me. I'm absolutely fine.", Seokjin tried to coax him.

"You went through a lot of pain. The labor made you extremely weak! I know. Jennie told me. If only I had thought about this before, I wouldn't have let you-", Taehyung was cut off by his mate.

"Don't finish that! Please don't ever try to say that infront of me again. I'm glad that we chose to keep her and I won't trade her with anything else. I don't care what could've happened. I don't care how weak she made me. She is my child and I won't let anyone treat her or talk about her in a way as if she is a monster."

"Don't you ever try to do that, Taehyungah! She is our baby. Please don't think about her like this.", Seokjin sobbed, holding onto his daughter with all the care and protectiveness he had in him.

"I won't. I don't hate her, Seokjin. I swear I can't do that. I just-", he sighed in defeat. "I just... the thought that I could've lost you. Seokjinah, I can go through anything but that."

"But that doesn't mean I hate her. That doesn't mean I think of her as a monster, no! She is our love, Seokjinah. She is ours! How can I hate her?"

"She is my precious baby. I've waited for her as much as you have. I've prayed for her as much as you have. I love her as much as you do, Seokjin."

The omega nodded, interlacing his fingers with the Northerner, the softest, purest of smiles gracing on his lips.

"Will you love her... more than me?", he asked quietly.

"What?", Taehyung chuckled, "What kind of question is that, My Prince?"

Seokjin gulped. "Tell me no!", he pleaded; Though still smiling, Taehyung didn't miss the tinge of seriousness and insecurity lying inside his mate's eyes.

"I know asking it makes me a bad father, but I just-"

"My Prince.",Taehyung shushed the older. "I've never loved anyone in my life the way I've loved you. You've imprinted on me, Your Highness. The only name that has itself carved on my soul is Seokjin. Only Kim Seokjin.", he kissed the back of Seokjin's hand again, littering it with multiple gentle kisses.

"I will love our daughter, a lot. She is going to be the pearl of my world... but that's because she is ours, My Prince; Because she is yours. My love for her will never lessen the worth you have in my life. Never. I promise you that."

Seokjin sighed happily, like a pleased kid. "Okay...", he mumbled, reaching out and messing with the younger's hair.

"But for your information... I will love her more than I love you. I hope you won't mind that.", he giggled at the look his mate gave him in return.

"Kim Taehyung...", he held the younger's chin, Slightly squeezing his cheeks as he giggled again. "She is mine."

"But I am yours."
