I'm late I'm sorry! I can't seem to get the upload schedule right lmao...

Anyway, today I got our lovely minchan for you! I can't leave them out only because they graduated. They probably won't get as many one shots as the others, but I'll try to give them the attention they deserve! 

I hope you guys will like it!

Ever since the birth of Park Chanhee, Chan had been eager to spend lots of time with his goddaughter - he preferred to call her his niece, though, since it was easier and he and Jinwoo were practically brothers anyway.

His Quidditch team had a two-week long break, so he had a lot of time on his hands.

Jinwoo and Mina were grateful for the help, especially since they still had to adjust to parenthood and Jinwoo had a job to balance. Minho tended to joke around that his boyfriend was spending more time with Chanhee than with him.

It came as no surprise that Chan was more than delighted when Jinwoo and Mina asked him to babysit.

“You know I wouldn’t ask if it weren’t incredibly important...” Jinwoo told him.

He had to go out of town because of something that had come up at the Portkey Office. According to him, they insisted on sending the rookies to do the “dirty work” and there was no getting out of it if he wanted to keep his job.

Unfortunately, it fell on the same weekend the spa appointment Sana had rained on Mina to celebrate her recent engagement.

Chan waved off at his friend’s worry. “Important or not, I would never turn down an opportunity to hang out with my favorite girl in the world,” he answered gleefully while making cute faces at the little baby in the buggy.

“But it’s the first time she’ll be without either of us,” Jinwoo spoke up, concern laced in his voice.

Mina nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry, guys. I’m a born babysitter. I know Chanhee well and in case of an emergency I know how to contact you,” Chan assured them.

“Alright... I trust you,” Jinwoo told him. “I have to go now. I’m already running late,” he added before looking at Mina. “Will you be okay?” he asked her, earning himself a nod from his fiancée.

“I’ll be fine,” she assured him, sending him off with a kiss.

“Alright... Sana will be here any minute. I made you a list of instructions on what to do when she screams and when she usually naps and just everything you need to know,” Mina told him, pulling a folded piece of paper out of the pocket of her hoodie. “Are you sure you’re up for this? Because I can cancel–”

“Nope! You’re not cancelling anything! You deserve to relax for a bit, and I think Sana gave you the most suitable engagement present ever,” Chan interrupted her.

Mina slumped her shoulders. “I just think it’s way too soon to leave her alone...” she said in a worried tone of voice.

“You’re not that far away. You can come back for her anytime if you really can’t take it. But I promise you, you have nothing to worry about,” the younger assured her. “Trust me, once you’re there you’ll be glad to have time to yourself,” he added with a small chuckle.

Mina gave her child a longing look. “I guess you’re right... but I’m just going to miss her a lot...” she said.

Before Chan could answer, the doorbell rang.

“That must be Sana,” he stated, leaving Mina to open the front door.

He was right; on his doorstep stood his former Hufflepuff classmate a wide grin on her face. “Hi, Channie. Is Mina ready?” she questioned.

Mina joined Chan at the door. “I’m ready,” she said, not without throwing a look over her shoulder to where the buggy stood.

“Have fun, okay? Chanhee’s in good hands,” Chan told her reassuringly.

Mina sighed and nodded. “See you in 36 hours,” she said, making the younger laugh.

“Bye Channie!” Sana shouted over her shoulder as the two girls took off. Chan waved at them before closing the front door and shifting his attention to the baby who had just started crying. It was almost like she’d sensed that her parents were both gone. Chan gently took her out of the buggy and tried to calm her down.

Minho came home more energized than usual. Sure, the day had been exhausting as hell, not that he had expected anything else when he’d decided to become an auror. But he had come across something that had brightened up his day significantly – he would just have to hide it underneath his cloak for now and hope that Chan would react well.

When he stepped into the kitchen, he was met with the single most adorable sight ever. Chan was washing the dishes, which wasn’t an unusual sight, but what made Minho almost coo out loud was the sleeping baby that was practically plastered to his chest in a baby carrier. He had forgotten that today was the day Jinwoo and Mina would leave Chanhee in his care for the weekend.

Minho couldn’t help but just stand there and admire the sight for a few seconds. He knew how much Chan adored the little girl and how badly he wanted to start his own family as soon as possible. Minho couldn’t deny that the sight before him made him imagine what it would be like to have children with Chan one day.

“Jesus, how long have you been standing there?” Chan’s startled voice ripped Minho out of his daydream. He refocused on his boyfriend who was now facing him, as he pulled off his rubber gloves.

“Not long,” Minho replied, fully stepping into the kitchen to greet Chan with a kiss. “I have to say, the stay-at-home-dad look suits you,” he joked.

Chan grinned and looked down at Chanhee. “She wouldn’t stop crying every time I put her down and Mina wrote in her list that she actually loves the baby carrier, so...” he trailed off sheepishly.

“I see,” Minho replied with a fond chuckle. Before either of them could say anything else, though a quiet but still audible “meow” reminded Minho of what he wanted to talk to Chan about.

The older gave him a quizzical look, seemingly noticing the way Minho’s hands were still hidden underneath his cloak.

“Right... um...” Minho trailed off, pulling a small, grey kitten with dark stripes from under his cloak and presenting it to Chan. “You know how Eunseo has a cat? Well, that cat had babies and Eunseo asked me if I wanted to adopt one and you know I can’t say no to kittens...” he quickly explained, hoping that his boyfriend wouldn’t scold him for making that kind of decision without him.

Chan laughed quietly, reaching out to pet the kitten which was barely any bigger than Minho’s palm. Its blue eyes curiously looked at Chan, making him coo before looking at his boyfriend again.

“Well, we were going to get a cat anyway...” he said, recalling a promise he made to Minho a while ago.

The younger’s face lit up at Chan’s words. “So, we can keep her?” he asked.

“Sure,” Chan replied.

Minho let out a cheer, mindful not to wake Chanhee before he gently set the kitten down to let her explore her new home.

“Did you also remember to bring supplies? Like food and a litter box?” Chan pointed out.

Minho’s eyes widened. “Whoopsie, I completely forgot about that... will you be okay here while I go to the store?” he questioned.

Chanhee chose that exact moment to wake up, blinking a few times before promptly starting to cry. “I’ll be fine, she probably just needs a change of diaper,” Chan waved off.

Minho leaned in to quickly peck him on the cheek before turning on his heel and leaving the kitchen with a “I’ll be quick, promise. Love you.”

Chan chuckled at his chaotic boyfriend before proceeding to take Chanhee to a more suitable place to change her diaper. The cat was still exploring her new surroundings and Chan couldn’t help but smile widely at how domestic his life with Minho had become.

Chanhee’s cries made Chan snap out of his thoughts and focus back on the little girl.

“It's okay, sweetie. We're going to change that diaper and then you’re going to feel better right away!” Chan cooed at her, proceeding to do just that. “There you go. Now you look like a real lady again,” he said, chuckling fondly at Chanhee, who looked up at him with wide brown eyes.

Her resemblance to her mother was striking. Chan still found it hard to wrap his head around the fact that his two best friends had a child together and were about to get married. If someone had told him about all of this one year ago, he probably would have laughed.

“Alright, baby Chanhee. What do you want to do while we wait for uncle Minho to get back?” he asked the little girl, of course without getting an answer. He lifted Chanhee into his arms again and headed to the living room where he sat down on the couch for a while.

Minho got back around 20 minutes later, finding his boyfriend on the couch playing with the baby, making funny faces at her and booping her nose. She reached out with her tiny hand to grab Chan’s thumb.

“You know, I could really get used to coming home to this kind of sight,” Minho said, taking a seat next to him.

Chan looked at him with a smile. “Well, maybe someday in the future you will,” he answered, shifting his attention back to Chanhee who just made some kind of incomprehensible baby noise that Chan immediately copied.

“Are you sure you’d like to have kids with me someday?” Minho questioned. Chan looked back at him.

“I mean, I have been thinking about it... why, is that not what you want? Because that’s okay, too! I mean we’re still pretty young and we just moved in together, so –”

Minho smiled and leaned in to kiss his boyfriend, effectively cutting him off. “You’re rambling, Channie,” he pointed out. “I was just asking because... well, do you think I’d be any good as a... a real dad? Considering my rather irresponsible history and my screwed-up family,” he voiced his concerns, earning himself a wide-eyed look from Chan.

“You’ve matured so much since last year, Lee Minho. You’re not irresponsible at all. And there’s no way you’re going to be anything like your parents simply because you’re everything they’re not. You’re kind-hearted, caring, understanding, compassionate... I think your future children are going to be lucky to have you as their dad,” Chan assured him.

Minho smiled at his words. It meant a lot to him that Chan thought so highly of him because if he was being honest with himself, there was nothing he wanted more than to grow old with Chan and start a family with him. But Chan had made a pretty good point. They were still young, and they had just moved in together, so maybe they should get settled first and then maybe in a year, he could propose to Chan...

“What’s on your mind?” Chan asked him after a few seconds of silence.

Minho grinned secretively. “Nothing~” he sing-songed, not wanting to spill his plans just yet.

“Fine then, don’t tell me,” Chan huffed in mock-annoyance. Minho chuckled and side hugged him, resting his chin on Chan’s shoulder.

“I was just thinking about what a great boyfriend I have,” he told him before looking at Chanhee. “And I was thinking about how pretty this little girl right here is,” he cooed at her.

A little meow from under the couch made him perk up. “Ah, of course,” Minho said and slid off the couch. He crouched down to look under the couch and tried to lure the cat. She made a few careful steps towards him, sniffing his hand before nestling into his palm.

“Did you already think of a name for her?” Chan asked him. Minho shook his head and gently lifted the cat up in his palm, giving her a closer look.

“She kind of looks like her name could be Elizabeth III,” he deadpanned, making Chan laugh.

“Seriously?” he asked, but Minho was dead serious. He looked at the cat.

“Do you like that name? Elizabeth III?”

The cat let out a little meow, which Minho took as a clear yes. Chan only laughed again, too used to his boyfriend being weird.

The weekend passed by quickly and Elizabeth III seemed to have gotten used to her new home. Chan was still doing an outstanding job with Chanhee, but today was the day her parents were picking her up.

Granted, babysitting Chanhee for an entire weekend had been harder than he had expected, especially when she had cried during the night, but Chan just decided to view it as practice for the future.

“Your parents are going to be here soon, Chanhee. I’m gonna miss having you around, you know,” Chan told the little girl, as he fed her a bottle.

Minho, who was sitting on the living room floor, playing with Elizabeth III, only chuckled. “You’ll still get to see her, Channie,” he pointed out.

“Yeah, I know but I’m still going to miss her,” Chan replied just as the doorbell rang.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get it,” Minho said and got up from the floor to open the door. Chan heard him greet Jinwoo and Mina and just a few moments later they all entered the living room.

“There’s my baby!” Jinwoo exclaimed cheerfully and walked over to the couch.

Chan grinned at him. “Wow, I didn’t know you missed me that much,” he joked.

Jinwoo stuck his tongue out at him, as Chan handed over his daughter.

“Were there any problems?” Mina questioned, crouching down next to Jinwoo to admire Chanhee.

“None at all. I’m surprised you didn’t call,” Chan said to her.

Mina pouted. “Sana wouldn’t let me anywhere near a phone,” she explained. “But, as much as I hate to admit it, it was nice to relax for a few days and have eight whole hours of sleep again for a change,” she admitted.

“That’s definitely one thing I’m looking forward to,” Minho commented from his seat on the floor. Elizabeth III had curled into his lap by now. “I don’t know how Chan’s not exhausted,” he added.

Chan grinned. “I’m completely exhausted, make no mistake. But I love taking care of this little angel, so I didn’t mind.”

“Try doing this for seven weeks straight and then we’ll talk,” Mina joked.

“No problem,” Chan replied confidently. Jinwoo chuckled at the exchange but kept most of his focus on Chanhee.

“Anyway, we should get home,” Mina said eventually rising to her feet again. Jinwoo got up from the couch, the baby still in his arms. Chan pouted, but nodded in agreement nonetheless.

“I packed all of her stuff already,” he said and led them to where the buggy was parked in the hallway. Jinwoo gently put Chanhee inside, before he and Mina turned to Chan and Minho.

“Thank you guys so much for taking care of her,” Jinwoo said.

“Anytime,” Chan replied, waving off.

“He means that,” Minho threw in with a light chuckle. “But really, it was no problem. It’s good practice,” he added, sounding more serious.

Jinwoo and Mina shared a look at his words. “Interesting,” Mina grinned.

Jinwoo, Mina and Chanhee bid their goodbyes to Chan and Minho and headed home.

“What now?” Chan asked, when he and Minho headed back to the living room where Chan sat down.

Minho straddled him wrapping his arms around his boyfriend’s neck. “I know you’re bummed out about not having Chanhee around but at least now I got you all to myself again,” he said.

Chan seemed light up at the statement, placing his hands on Minho’s hips.

“That is a very good point,” he agreed, as Minho leaned closer to kiss him, almost eagerly and Chan smiled into the kiss. Minho’s hands started to roam over his shoulders, his chest, swiftly undoing the top button of Chan’s shirt when–

“Meow.”

They pulled apart and looked to the side to see Elizabeth III sitting on the armrest of the couch, staring at them like she knew what they were up to.

“I feel like we should probably take this somewhere more private,” Chan suggested, but Minho was already scrambling off his lap to pet the kitten and play with her.

“Seriously?” Chan asked with a disbelieving laugh.

Minho shot him a sheepish grin. “Sorry Channie, she’s just too cute,” he told his boyfriend, shrugging his shoulders.

Chan would be offended that he lost to the cat, but Minho just looked so happy, playing with her that he couldn’t bring himself to mind. And he was right, after all, Elizabeth III really was adorable.

“You’re lucky I love you both,” Chan mumbled as he moved over to where Minho was the cat under the chin which she seemed to appreciate. He pecked Minho on the cheek and reached out to ruffle Elizabeth’s fur, thinking that this was a pretty great family he had there.

Sorry if this seems a little rushed I tried my best
