Chapter Twenty-Six
Needs | EDITINGIt was finally the day that Minsul waited for a little over two months, the day they can finally bring home Hyun Joon and have their journey being a family begin. Over the past two months Hyun Joon hasn't been getting any complications, he was all healthy and strong. His body weight nearly doubled than the first time he was weighed bringing smiles and joys to Minsul and even to the nurses and doctors that helped him
Everything was set and ready to go. Everything from the stroller, the car seat, Hyun Joon's clothes, everything. Minho and Sulli can't wait, the night prior they hardly slept due to their excitement
"Won't you look at that? My little Hyun Joon is dressed and ready to go home! You're excited as we are, huh baby boy?" Minho says as he tickles kisses Hyun Joon's neck, making the little one giggle in glee
"Aigoo, let's head out of here. I want to go home already. I've had enough of the hospital. So if you don't mind, put Hyun Joon in the car seat" Sulli says with a laugh. Minho obeyed, carefully putting Hyun Joon in the car seat, making sure he's buckled in safely, moments later Minsul and baby Hyun Joon left
Minho drove extra careful knowing that there's a new born on board, he drove with cautious and care. As for Sulli, she sat in the back along with Hyun Joon watching over the little angel. Sulli took an extra look at Hyun Joon and noticed he's a carbon copy of Minho, very handsome and charming
"You know babe, our Hyun Joon is just like you." Sulli spoke up, giggling a bit. Minho took a glance in the rear view mirror, chuckling
"Well he is my son, so I guess it's normal right? Our Hyun Joon got the handsome genes" Minho teases, Sulli rolled her eyes, laughing.
"I hope he doesn't get your cockiness. My Hyun Joon will be a good boy, right Hyun Joonnie?" Sulli said, laughing. The little one smiled a little
"Hyun Joon-ah, take note, your Mom can nag. So don't get into too much trouble or else she'll nag at you all day" Minho said as he laughed, gaining a slap from Sulli
"YA!! I'm not a nagger!" Sulli raised her voice a bit, with the loudness Hyun Joon cried, Minho laughed hysterically. Sulli soothed Hyun Joon, calming him as she would glare at Minho every now and then
"Hyun Joon-ah! Tell your mom that I love her very much! I love you too, Hyun Joon-ah!" Minho said, chuckling. Sulli scoffs, breaking into a small smile
As they arrived safely to their house, Minho and Sulli couldn't wait to finally get inside after a long wait.
"Hyun Joon-ah, welcome home. This will your home from now on. You'll love it here as much as we love it baby" Minho said as he opened the house door, smiling
"Finally. This is what I've been waiting for. Welcome home baby boy. Finally you're where you are suppose to be, in the comfort of our home" Sulli said
It was the first day of the family journey, even if Minsul were so new to being parents, they were beyond excited on what parenthood brings
============================
The first night wasn't easy for Minho and Sulli. Hyun Joon would cry in the middle of the night, Sulli tried everything to make him fall back asleep but nothing worked. She tried feeding, rocking him on the rocking chair, jumping around the room but all else failed
"Hyun Joon-ah, why are you crying baby? You're not hungry, your diaper is not full then what's the matter? Aigoo, tell Mommy what's wrong and I'll do my best to give it to you" Sulli said, patting the back of Hyun Joon as she walked around the room
"Maybe he just needs to be in Daddy's arms. Let me handle him and you go back to sleep, babe" Minho huskily said as he entered the room. Sulli wanted to give Minho's idea a try so she handed Hyun Joon over to Minho's arms and as Minho held him, Hyun Joon stopped crying
"Seriously? He just wants to be in your arms? Aish, why do I even bother" Sulli said, quite annoyed. Minho chuckles, he could get used to this
"Hey, your a parent now so you have to understand your child's needs and this is one of them. I'll take it from here, you can head on back and sleep. I can manage" Minho said chuckling
"No, it's fine. I want to stay here and go back to bed with you. I don't feel comfortable with you next to me." Sulli shyly said, blushing a bit. Minho chuckles, nodding his head. A good 20 minutes after, Hyun Joon was fast asleep once again and so was Sulli
As Minho was placing Hyun Joon on his little crib, Minho gave a small peck on his forehead, saying good night. After doing so, Minho gently carried Sulli without waking her back to the bedroom as he gently closes Hyun Joon's room
"You've worked hard today, my darling. Now it's time to rest, you need a lot energy to conquer tomorrow's tasks. I love you and sweet dreams my love." Minho whispers as he watches over Sulli who is sleeping soundly. Scooping her into his arms, Minho hugged her tight as he placed the comforter over, dozing off to his dream world
============================
It's almost a week since Hyun Joon came home, although the first few nights were pretty rough, the following days after were much smoother as Minsul have a schedule down
9am: Hyun Joon wakes up
9:30am: Sulli feeds Hyun Joon for breakfast also giving him an extra bottle of formula
10-12am: Playtime with Mommy & Daddy
12:30-1:30pm: Hyun Joon's nap time/Minsul's alone time together
2pm: Sulli once again feeds Hyun Joon for lunch
2:30-6:30pm: Keep Hyun Joon awake until dinner time
7pm: Dinner for Hyun Joon
7:30-9pm: Keep Hyun Joon active until bed time
9:30pm: Bedtime for Hyun Joon
"After today, I think you need an energy boost. So care to have coffee with me?" Minho asked with a smile, Sulli nods her head. Heading over to the kitchen, Minho brewed up two cups of coffee, bringing it back to the living room
"Thanks babe, I'll enjoy it" Sulli said with a smile as Minho handed over her cup of coffee. Minho took his seat beside Sulli, drinking the coffee
"So I guess this is parenthood. It's a hustle but what can I say? I love doing this, I love spending the day with Hyun Joon, playing with him, watching him interact. I never have thought parenthood is quite fun, just a little stressful" Minho said, chuckling
"I can get used to this. But you know babe, Hyun Joon is growing everyday. Before we know it, he's a grown up man with his own family. My baby boy won't be a baby anymore." Sulli said, thinking of the future. Minho held out his hand and gripped onto Sulli's hand tight
"He's not even a year old but you're already thinking of that already. Aiyoo. Can we just enjoy the time that he's still a baby?" Minho teases her, which brought a laugh to Sulli
"Hyun Joon will forever be a momma's boy. He'll always be, no matter how old he is. Hyun Joon will be our baby boy." Sulli said as she put the coffee down on the table and leaned over on Minho's chest to which he hugged her from the waist, pulling Sulli closer to him
"Of course he will. Just like if we were granted a baby girl next. She'll forever be Daddy's Little Princess" Minho said, Sulli got up from Minho's chest and looked at Minho quite shocked
"You're already thinking of giving Hyun Joon a sibling? Are you kidding me? Seriously babe?" Sulli said, Minho chuckles as he shrugs nonchalantly
"Why not? By the next four years, we could have a house full of kids. We may never know" Minho teased, Sulli agapes open
"I've had a hard time with this pregnancy and you want to pile on that? Seriously? Aish, what a husband you are" Sulli says, scoffing
"We could always start early. There's a saying babe, the more the merrier." Minho says, smirking. Sulli hits him on the chest, making Minho only laugh
"I bet when Hyun Joon gets older, he'll ask for a sibling! Why don't we give it to him before he even asks? You know, when I was little I also asked my parents to give a me a sibling and guess what, two years later Krystal came" Minho continued to tease Sulli
"Oh don't bring that into this. The next pregnancy will be in the next four years. Not now or anytime soon" Sulli said, hinting annoyance
"Well that's if you can resist me" Minho said as he gently pushed Sulli on the couch making her lay down as he went on top of her
"Try me" Sulli challenged Minho, making Minho smirk as he leans his face closer to Sulli's. As their faces were inches apart, Sulli's face became Crimson red, don't fall for it Sulli, you can do this
