Sunny could register Taeyeon's name very quickly, unlike usual, since the hospital wasn't as crowded that day. Hara was running here and there in excitement as soon as Sunny promised for the zoo. Taeyeon shook her head in small laughters seeing this kid. She would have run after Hara and made her stop running if it had only been possible.

"There, there. If you run again and make noises, I'll cancel the zoo" Sunny reminded as soon as she's back from the registration table. 

That made Hara stop. She walked back to the seat next to Taeyeon's and calm herself there. Taeyeon watched her with a big grin on her face.

Then Sunny thought about it. She remembered taking Taeyeon here for the first time few months ago, and she couldn't forget how sad and hopeless she looked back then. She had promised back then that she would turn those frowns into smiles someday. And now she did.

Sunny sat beside her while taking her hands smoothly.

"What's the matter?" Taeyeon turned her attention from little Hara to Sunny.

"Nothing. It's just.. I'm wondering about something"

"What could it be?"

"Are you still sad visiting this place? Are you happy that you have me now?"

Taeyeon hesitated before strengthening their intertwined fingers. "I thought you were the one who told me not to think too much?"

"Well.. Yeah, that's true but.. I just.. need some confirmation"

"I am" Taeyeon reassured right away, Sunny's arms with her other hand. "Please don't worry anymore"

"So I can tag along inside?" Sunny's eyes rolled up.

"I don't mind but I'm not sure we can keep Hara quiet inside" 

The two scanned the waiting room to look for Hara, who was already running across every corner of the room again by then. 

"Jesus, it hasn't even been one minute since she sat nicely" Sunny stood up, about to get ready to catch her again.

"Wait" Taeyeon held her back. "Let me do it this time"

Sunnys stared at her first, but then proceeded to let her try. Taeyeon soon walked quickly to the other side of waiting benches where Hara was standing on.

"Hara-yah, we're about to go inside the doctor's room. Let's wait nicely with us"

"I don't want. I am bored" Hara pouted. 

"If not, later Auntie Sunny will be angry and will cancel the zoo's trip"

"But I am boooreeed" 

"Hara.."

"I don't want to listen to you. You're not mommy"

Taeyeon bite her lips, remembering Hyomin's condition in the hospital. She looked deeply into Hara's eyes before kneeling down in front of her.

"Hara, listen. I may not be your mommy. But I'm gonna be a mommy soon and I understand your mommy's feeling. Your mommy won't be happy either if you're being naughty, right?"

"Then you also have to promise something like Auntie Sunny"

"What is it?"

"You have to read me story books when I want to sleep. Like mommy always does"

Taeyeon smirked and poked the little girl's nose. "Promise"

"Yeaaay!" Hara jumped out of the blue from the chair to Taeyeon's embrace. "I like Auntie Taeyeon too now"

"Hara-yah!" Sunny almost jumped out in shock when she saw Taeyeon was holding Hara on her arms. "You're making Auntie Taeyeon tired"

"Ssshh, it's okay" Taeyeon whispered. "This is also one of the lessons to become a mom"

Still worried, Sunny was about to protest again but at last she just sighed and went back to chair. Taeyeon's name was called not long after that.

When the three of them came inside, the doctor widened her eyes and took off her glasses immediately.

"Good afternoon, Doctor Soo" Taeyeon did the greeting. 

"Am I seeing it correctly? There are so many guests with you today" She said in disbelief.

"But, there are only three of us, Doctor" Sunny responded.

"Yes, but Taeyeon-ssi used to come inside alone" The doctor scanned Taeyeon's face. "And her face looks a lot brighter this time"

Taeyeon's face reddened hearing the doctor's compliment. Sunny couldn't help but being proud of herself secretly.

"Alright then, Taeyeon-ssi let's go inside" 

Taeyeon immediately grabbed Sunny and smiled at her. "Let's come inside too"

"What? I- Is it okay?"

"Of course it's okay" 

With Hara following behind, they stepped inside the USG room. Sunny had never been inside before, but she knew from TV what a woman usually did when they entered this room. Of course one of them was.. opening clothes. 

Sunny literally gulped as her guess slowly became true when the doctor told Taeyeon to open her shirt. Well, she was not totally true. Taeyeon didn't have to take off all of her clothes but, oh well.. The shirt.

Which would basically reveal most of her upper body parts, right?

One button, two buttons. Sunny tried her best to just keep staring at the floor. But when the corner of her eyes spotted the blinding milky white skin of Taeyeon's shoulder, she gave up. She stared at it without hesitation.

Her bare chest. Her round s. Everything that was slowly being shown in front of her eyes she found y. Even Taeyeon's not so flat, growing tummy as well. 

Sunny did realize that her face must have looked like a burning building right now, but her natural desire kept her eyes fixed on that body. She didn't count how many times she had gulped, but it must have been quite often that Hara suddenly popped up in front of her.

"Auntie Sunny, why is your face so red? Why do you keep looking at Auntie Taeyeon?"

Shocked by Hara's honest statement and the fact that the entire room could hear, Sunny's saliva got stuck in and she coughed it out loudly. She felt like her face almost exploded, so she quickly turned her back and went outside the USG room's curtain.

Taeyeon couldn't help but laughing in the middle of her body check-up.

"You and the baby seem to be in a very good shape" The doctor commented after she finished. "You must have been taken care of very well"

"Thank you" Taeyeon sat and buttoned up her shirt. "Doctor Soo, I actually want to ask something"

"Yes?"

Taeyeon brought to the doctor's ear and whispered her question, making sure Sunny was out of reach to hear it.

On their way to the zoo in the taxi, Sunny had to once again be embarassed by her own actions in front of Taeyeon. The other woman was grinning endlessly at her now.

"So.. Someone was checking me out, huh?"

"I regret it though" 

"Wae?"

"I should have come there to look at little one. To help you listening to the doctor's advice and stuffs. But.. Urgh, I'm so sorry"

"Hey" Taeyeon Sunny's smooth face with. "You don't have to be so perfect all the time"

"I know. I just don't want you to think of me as a ert who only looks at your body"

"No, I don't think of you like that at all"

"I promise I will not be like that again next time"

Taeyeon held both of Sunny's cheeks and made her turn so they could lock eyes. "You're totally different from a ert. You're not like him in any way. I love you. Don't feel guilty again, yeah?"

"..Okay" 

"Auntie look!! We have arrived!! We have arrived!!" Hara jumped in excitement when she saw the big zoo sign on the side of the road.

Hara walked while holding Sunny at her left and Taeyeon at her right after they got off the taxi. She would jump in happiness at some point along the way to the gate.

"This feels like a long time ago. I feel like having daddy and mommy again"

Once they were inside, the first thing they visited was the "Sea Creatures Cave". It was quite dark inside, but it didn't stop Hara from leading their way most of the time. 

"Auntie look!! A giant starfish!!"

"Auntie look!! A small sea centipede!!"

"Wow Auntie look there!! Shaarks!!"

It hadn't even been half an hour since they entered, but Sunny was running out of breath already. Hara moved to different places a thousand times in a minute. Taeyeon just tailed slowly since it was impossible for her to catch up with Hara's steps.

After a few minutes of running, they arrived in a smaller, darker place which contained aquariums with sea-angels inside. That finally stopped Hara for a while as the little girl stared into those angels for a good long minutes.

Taeyeon was staring at one of those blue-ish, beautiful boxes when she felt a pair of warm arms lingering her waist all the way to her pudgy stomach. She didn't have to look, she could already know the owner of those warm breaths on her neck.

"I can't believe I can actually be in such a romantic place with you right now" She kissed Taeyeon's neck. "I love you"

Taeyeon turned around and once again admired that angelic face of Sunny with her own fingers. 

"I love you" She traced Sunny's jawline with her fingers.

Overwhelmed, tears started to form in the two women's eyes. It was not by any force that they slowly brought their lips closer to each other and fought their tongues inside.
