My eyes slowly opened, the sun's now shining real bright, feeling something heavy that is resting above my chest, and it's my baby sleeping so soundly. Her lips are puckered a little bit, making me want to kiss it. I lay her down on the bed and continue to stare at her peaceful face. Her chest goes up and down as she breathes rhythmically. I keep on staring at her face down to her neck, very tempting to mark her as mine so that other men will leave her alone. I sniff her neck, letting my lips brushed her skin. She moved a little bit and let out a moan, and let herself face me and move closer to me. 

I kissed her forehead, down to her nose, to her cheeks, the side of her lips. I kept fighting the urge to kiss her on her lips, but I can't hold it any longer. I lean down and pecked her lips. When I saw that she's still sleeping, I captured her lips once again into a slow kiss, lovingly holding her cheeks. I was about to break the kiss when she let out a soft moan and respond to my kisses. We kept kissing passionately, I shove my tongue inside and she didn't bother to fight dominance, my hands are on the back of my head while hers are wrapped around my neck, pulling me closer to her. We kept kissing until we have to break once we are both out of breath. I leaned down to her neck and kiss it, while she gladly permitted me as she tilted her head on one side to give me more access. I kiss her soft spot which is close behind her ears, I gently it as she let out a moan. 

I kept it that I already left a red mark. My kisses went down to her exposed cleavage which I gladly give a sloppy kiss. My hand went inside her shirt, massaging her bosom. 

"Ohh Ji" she let out a long moan while brushing her fingers in my head. I kept harassing her cleavage that I already left a mark, can't help. "May I, baby?" I asked her if I can remove her shirt and she nodded. As I held the hem of her shirt, I suddenly felt a slap on my face.....

And then my eyes opened and realize everything was a dream, this time I really woke up as I felt someone above me fidgeting with her hands are on my face. I looked down and saw nabi sleeping above me, who is now fidgeting since the sun's shining brightly. I reach out for the remote on my bedside table and closed the curtains. I pull the blanket up to warm the baby above me, who is now sleeping so soundly as nothing bothers her sleep anymore. 

I rub her back as I rub my eyes, clearly disappointed that my steamy dream didn't get to finish. I kept rubbing my baby's back to let her fall asleep more soundly, and I look over the clock and saw it was quarter to 9 am already. I kiss her head as I lay her on the bed, put some pillow she can wrap her arms around, and pull the blanket up to her shoulder so she won't feel cold. 

"Good morning, my baby. Sleep some more while I cook breakfast for you, okay?" I kissed her cheeks and forehead. As I make my way out of the room and head towards the kitchen. 

I opened a pack of pancake mix, and proceed to cook it. I also washed some fresh fruits as the baby likes to eat fruits. After a good 20 mins, I was done and I checked if the baby is awake but she still sleeping. I went back to the kitchen and put the food and her iced americano I got from her fave coffee shop on a tray, and walk towards my room. I smiled when I saw that nabi is still sleeping, maybe she's tired from all the crying that she made the previous night. 

I placed the tray on one of my bedside tables and went close to my nabi. I leaned down and buried my face in her neck, "Nabi-yah, wake up. I made you some pancakes with fruits and I got your favorite coffee." She just hummed and went back to sleep. I plant some light kisses on her neck, hearing a moan from her. I keep kissing her neck when "Are you done ravaging my neck, Ji?" Tae said, who is rubbing her eyes to brush sleepiness away. I smiled sheepishly and placed a last kiss and bit her neck lightly, and said, "No, but you need to eat." I kissed her cheeks and grabbed her hand to help her sit up. 

Once she's sitting already, I put the tray on my lap and began to cut the pancake into mini bits. I stuck one into the fork and feed it to her. She just munches the pancake silently, once she's done I feed her again. "Did you have your breakfast?" she asked while munching, I shook my head in disagreement. "Then eat."  I smiled and feed myself some pancakes. I alternately feed ourselves using only one utensil.

Once we're done, I placed our used kitchenware on the sink and get her medicine and water. I walked into the room and saw the baby laying on the bed and watching TV. "Nabi, sit up, please. You need to drink your medicine." I said and she shook her head. "No, I don't need to drink my medicine. I'm fine now since my temperature is not high anymore." I sighed, "Baby you need to drink since you just drank your medicine once yesterday. You also have to drink so that your fever won't come back and that you'll recover fully." she pouted and get the medicine out of my grasp and drank it at once. She winced at the taste of the medicine and buried her face on one of the pillows on the bed. I chuckled and gathered her in my arms and said, "Since my baby did a great job and drank her medicine, I'll grant one of your commands." She looked up at me and said, "Hmmm, I'll think about that hard, can't waste my one wish be grant by you." smirking. 

We cuddled while watching shows on the TV. Her back is resting on my chest while my arms are wrapped around her tummy, our legs tangled with each other. I  wrapped ourselves in the duvet so that we wouldn't be cold. A good one hour came by when her phone started to ring. She frees herself from my grasp and reaches for her phone that was placed on the bedside table. Once she saw who was calling she stood up and answered the phone call. She walked towards the balcony and started to talk. I didn't mean to pry on her conversation but she left the balcony door slightly opened and I can hear some of what she's saying.  

"How are you, my baby? Have you eaten already?" 

"I miss you also, don't worry I'll come home soon, okay?" 

"I love you too, honey. See you soon."

Feeling devastated from what I heard, I sat up and stare at nothingness. Feeling sad that after what happened last night and moments ago, we were acting like a couple but now she's calling someone else baby and honey. I can't help but feel a little bit mad, disappointed at her, and mad at the one that she's talking to on the phone. I heard that she was about to end her call, so I scouted over on the other side of the bed and ignore her.

Once I entered the room again, the air seems thicker as Jiyong suddenly decided to move on the other side of the bed, which he doesn't do. He would really choose to tangle himself up to me and continuously invade my personal space and I'll let him since why not? I sat on the opposite side where Jiyong was sitting, who is now very silent. I sat uncomfortably, don't know whether I should ask if he is fine or something is bothering him. 

"Are you okay, Ji?" I asked while playing with my own fingers. He just hummed without bothering to spare me even a glance. I just pouted and wrap myself in the duvet since I was feeling cold and Ji wouldn't bother to cuddle with me. Once the show that we're watching was done. He stood up and change his shirt and handed me a pair of sweatshirts and sweatpants. "Here, change into this and I will drop you off in your apartment." I just got the clothes from his grasp and proceed to go to the bathroom so that I can change. 

I was a bit sad since I thought he would insist that I should stay another night in here since I admit I really enjoyed spending time with him just like we did in the past. But I guess he didn't want someone to bother him, that thought makes me pout and sulk for a little bit. I continue to get change and headed outside once I'm done. 

Ji was already on the sofa clearly waiting for me to finish since he is already holding his car keys in his hands. Once he saw me he headed straight to the door and go to the parking lot. His actions make me feel sadder. 

I sat on the passenger side while not daring to look in his direction. In no time, we've arrived in my apartment complex, I unbuckled my seatbelt and proceed to go out since he's not saying anything to me. I frown more when he didn't say anything even after I got out of his car without saying goodbye to him, thinking he would follow after me.

I continue to walk while frowning even more since everything that happened makes my mood turn upside down and I just want to see my baby girls. I bumped into Tiffany who went out of the elevator holding her car keys. 

"Hey, Tae. Why are you frowning like you're carrying the whole world's burdens? It's like when I talked to you a while ago seems like your the happiest woman in the world." Tiff asked. "Nothing important. So where are you going? Are you going home already?" Steph shook her head and said, "I'm going to buy some snacks for everyone to share since the girls will probably go to your place later to spend time with their precious nieces." I just nodded and smile weakly since I don't have any mood to talk more."Take care, Steph. I'll go ahead since I miss my daughters already."

I went into the elevator and punched in my floor number. Once I arrived outside of my door, I quickly entered my password and open the door immediately as I hear Jiah crying. 

I saw that Jiah is held by my mother who wouldn't stop crying. I accidentally left a small aww and she heard me. She immediately turns her head in my direction as she recognizes my voice and cried, even more, when she saw me, stretching her arms like she's trying to reach for me. 

"Mama, mama, mama, mama."  she keeps babbling mama, and  I tried to play with her and pretend that I will not go to her but she kept crying loudly when I reach where she and eomma are standing, I opened my arms and got her from eomma she instantly buried her face into my bosom and calm down immediately. I rub her back as she clings to my shirt as if her life depended on it. I lulled her and make her fall asleep as she keeps on rubbing her face on my bosom indicating that she's sleepy and wants to get comfort by rubbing her face in my bosoms and inhaling my scent, as it is one of the characteristics that all of my daughters have. Yep, my daughters are kinda ie girls maybe that's one thing they got from their father, which makes me wanna shake my head in disbelief at that thought, that out of anything they could inherit from their father it's being a ie person. I kept rubbing her back, singing some lullaby to her, and tapping her bottom lightly making her fall asleep and went to dreamland. 

I put her into their electric swing cradles that are placed in my living room so that we wouldn't have to leave them alone in their room during their nap time. I kissed my daughters' forehead as they all sleep 

I asked eomma, "Where are Hayeon and Jessica, eomma?" she was peeling some fruits on the kitchen counter. "They went outside to get some groceries since the other girls want to go here as they wanted to see their nieces." I nodded and sat on one of the high chairs facing eomma.

"How's your night, Tae? I heard that you stayed with your daughters' father?" My eyes widen, "You knew, eomma?" she nodded, "Of course, I knew since Jiyong informed me also that he brought you to the hospital because you fainted. I kept waiting here for you to come back but only Miyoung and Jessica went back here and they told me that you stayed at Jiyong's place for the night as he wants to take care of you." I pout, "Are you mad, eomma, that I chose to spend the night with him?" she shook her head, "No, In fact, I'm very happy at the thought that you and he were getting along once again." 

"Am I gonna have another granddaughter or perhaps a grandson this time? I know you have a lot of fun there" she wriggled her eyebrows at me playfully and my cheeks redden to what eomma exclaimed. "Eomma, our daughters are barely not even a year old and I was sick I can't even move by myself." I fan my already hot face using my hands, trying to calm down. "Why you can even just lay down, Tae. You wouldn't even do anything just let him do everything." I gasped at what I just heard what eomma say. "Eommaaaaaa, stop. I already have four daughters I think it's enough, more than enough actually." I pouted. "Well to your daughters' father nothing is enough since that man doesn't know the word 'enough'. I know for sure when you two get back together, you'll get pregnant again soon, that's one thing that I'm very sure would happen," she smirked. I pout and just get some fruits that she's cutting right now when I heard the main door open, and it was Sica and Hayeon holding many grocery bags in their hands.

"Yah, why did you bought many foods? I thought it's just for tonight?"  I asked while helping them to carry some bags. "Well, the girls decided to stay here for two days since eomma needs to go home tonight as well as Hayeon. We know that you can't handle the girls by yourself even though that you're the only one they want. Maybe we can make it three days so that eomma can have enough rest since I think you'll be busy next week." Sica explained. 

"About that, Tae, I forgot to tell you. Your father wants me to go home tonight since it's been weeks since he last saw me. I talked about it with Sica and Fany a while ago and it's the right timing since the other girls don't have schedules also and they will accompany you here while I'll go home with Hayeon." Eomma said. 

I nodded and hug eomma tight and thanked her for looking after my daughters. After a while, Fany arrives at the doorstep. I opened the door and saw Fany together with Sunny, Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Sooyoung which explains the noisy atmosphere. I shut them up and tell them to lower down their voice since the babies are still sleeping. Fany went straight to the kitchen where eomma, Sica, and Hayeon are at while
