Found You Again
Description
I had one month.
And then one amazing night.
With SHINee's Kim Kibum.
But I left him in Korea with more than just the memory of an unforgettable night.
Since I knew who he was, what he meant to his country and his fans, I broke my contract, quit
my teaching job and went home. Back to America, where I wouldn't have to suffer the stigma of
being pregnant and unmarried. New York meant safety. Home meant tolerance. So I went back
there to have my baby in a place I knew.
She's beautiful, you know? It's been hard raising her all by myself, but I won't complain about it
because everytime I look at her, I know it was worth it. We're far from poor. She doesn't want or
need for anything and is very well cared for. She has some of his personality traits, small in him
but very large in someone so little. She looks like him. A lot. But even so my best friend is
right. Kibum does have a right to know about her, just like she has a right to know about her
father. She should know her culture, her heritage. The other side of her that I can't share, since
Kibum and I are so different. Both minorities, but both equal parts of her. I wonder what he'll
think of her, what he'll say when I tell him what I've kept hidden for 21 long months. She's one
now and he's missed so much. Will he be angry with me for keeping her from him? Or will he
be grateful that I considered him and SHINee and his fans. His dream of being a incredibly famous
idol realized because I did keep her to myself.
We'll see, won't we?
Foreword
"I wish I could go with you..." Raina smiled at me sadly as she shook Keylee's socked foot, pulling
a face at my daughter as she took her from me to hold her as we waited for my flight to leave.
The airport was an interesting place to the baby and she wanted to get down, not to be held
hostage on my best friend's lap. "Do you have enough for her to do? It's a 15 hour flight
and that's a long time to travel with a baby." she bounced the restless girl on her knee as she
tried to distract her from her escape attempt. Not that she could get far. Keylee had only just
turned a year, she wasn't walking all that well yet.
But that would have been one more thing he missed and I didn't want that. He should at least get
her first steps, after all I got her first word (Stop) and her first tooth (Two came in together, does
that count?). I should let him have that, right? "I have toys, snacks, pacis and even her lovey is
in here. She has everything a baby needs, plus we're fortunate enough so that the flight is leaving
at night. Traveling when she should be sleeping anyway is a great idea.." I mumbled, digging
through my carry on to make sure everything that couldn't fit in her diaper bag was in there. That
bag would be a lifesaver. "And I wish you could go with me too. It'd be nice to have a sitter who
knows her already."
"Oh. So the only reason you want me to go is to play slave to this one..." Raina turned Keylee to
kiss her chubby cheek, the baby grabbing her face and smashing to my friend's. "God,
Key... Baby slob.." she screwed her face up, making my daughter giggle as she blew raspberries
on her belly. "Your mommy wants me to be your slave."
"That's not a bad idea. Maybe you can fly out when you're finished with school." I grinned, looking
over at our gate as people started lining up to board. I wasn't in a rush, though. They always
boarded First Class passengers and parents with babies first and I was both, so I didn't have to
worry. "Gimmie that..." I took Keylee from her to balance her, my bags and her car seat since it
was time to go. "I'll miss you.." I said quietly, leaning in for a hug. "And I'm serious. If you want
to come, just call me and I'll send for you. You won't even have to be Key's slave." I teased,
looking away so I would have to see her tears. "Don't cry. Because if you do, I will and we have to
go. I don't have time to cling to you in despair.."
"Call me when you get there. As soon as you land. I mean it Rennie.." Raina kissed Keylee one
more time before I turned to board the plane. "I love you."
I turned back to offer her a reassuring smile. "Everything's going to be OK..." I nodded resolutely.
"I love you too."
A/N;
Yes... I'm doing it again. Starting another fic. This one means a little more since the baby here is based on mine.
So love it alot and support me. I'll need it.
Thanks!
