Chapter Text
Jeonghan lifted his head sleepily as Seungcheol's alarm went off, subconsciously rubbing Yumi's back just in case the toddler woke up with it like she had before. "One more day until the weekend." Seungcheol mumbled as he turned the alarm off. Jeonghan hummed in response, smiling as Seungcheol leaned over to softly press his lips to the omega's. "Good morning."
"Morning." Jeonghan mumbled the greeting back, kissing Seungcheol one more time before the alpha climbed out of bed to go shower.
After making sure Yumi was still soundly sleeping, Jeonghan carefully climbed out of bed without disturbing her. He checked on Jiwoo in her bassinet to make sure she was still happily asleep before heading downstairs to make Seungcheol's lunch for the day. He was just finishing pan frying some chicken to put with the soba noodles he'd made when Seungcheol came into the kitchen with a wide awake and smiley Jiwoo in his arms. "Someone is awake and ready for the day." The alpha said before proceeding to smother the six-month old's face in kisses, pulling a bright laugh out of her.
Jeonghan giggled at the sight as he quickly added the food he'd prepared to Seungcheol's lunchbox. "You're such an appa's girl, aren't you?" He asked. Seungcheol continued to kiss Jiwoo all over her face until Jeonghan finished up his lunch. Then he traded the lunchbox for the infant. "Let's get some milk in your tummy and let Appa go to work." He cooed, pressing a kiss of his own to her cheek. Jiwoo, however, wiggled and squirmed in Jeonghan's hold, reaching out for Seungcheol as the alpha made his way to the front door to put his shoes on and grab his work bag. "Hey, why are you being like this?" Jeonghan asked softly as he followed his mate out of the kitchen. "We go through this every morning." He pressed another kiss to Jiwoo's cheek as she started to whine.
Seungcheol was quick to take her into his arms again. "I'll be home this afternoon." He promised. "Right around the time you guys get back from your walk." He peppered her face in soft kisses once more.
"Okay, you're making the goodbye harder." Jeonghan said with a gentle tone, reaching out for Jiwoo. With one more kiss to her forehead, Seungcheol reluctantly passed her back over to Jeonghan, causing the six-month-old omega to start crying. Jeonghan quickly shared a kiss with Seungcheol before carrying Jiwoo over to the couch and settling in to nurse her. Seungcheol looked absolutely heartbroken as he gazed at them longingly before finally leaving.
Just as Jiwoo finished nursing and Jeonghan was laying her down on the couch to change her diaper, he heard the familiar creaking of the second step from the top of the staircase. He glanced up and found Yumi peering at them through the railing. "Good morning, puppy!" Jeonghan greeted her and a bright smile appeared on the toddler alpha's face as she began making her way down the stairs. "Be careful." Yumi made it downstairs and ran over to them, resting her head on Jeonghan's lap as he changed Jiwoo's diaper. "Did you sleep well?" He asked her.
Yumi nodded without lifting her head. "Go mujim?"
Jeonghan hummed in confirmation. "We go to the museum today." Yumi cheered but continued to lean against Jeonghan. It was only when he needed to get up to throw away Jiwoo's old diaper that Yumi finally moved, running to pull out some of her Lego Duplos to play with.
The three of them went about their day as normal. Breakfast, the museum, lunch, nap, then playing outside and going on their daily walk around the townhouse complex they lived in. That day Yumi was one her little ride on scooter, pushing off the sidewalk with her feet to move forward while Jeonghan walked beside her, Jiwoo strapped to his chest in her carrier. As they were approaching their own townhouse on their return, Jeonghan spotted Seungcheol's car in the driveway. "Look, Appa's home!" He informed the girls, pointing towards their house just as the alpha in question stepped through the front door wearing comfy clothes as opposed to his work clothes.
"Appa!" Yumi cheered, pushing her legs faster to try to reach him sooner. She soon abandoned the scooter altogether, knocking it to the side as she climbed off and began running down the sidewalk to where Seungcheol was waiting, crouched down with his arms open. Jeonghan chuckled at the sight and picked the scooter up with one hand to carry it back to their house.
Seungcheol caught Yumi in his arms and hugged her tight, rising to his full height. "Appa missed you so much!" He pressed a couple of kisses to her forehead. He set her back down on her feet as Jeonghan reached them. "And my little princess!" He carefully removed Jiwoo from her carrier so he could hold her close, much to the six-month old's delight.
Jeonghan put his hands on his hips. "And what about me?"
"You know I always miss you." Seungcheol smiled, wrapping one arm around Jeonghan's waist and pulling him into a kiss.
Yumi started squirming in place and tugging on Jeonghan's jeans. "Go potty!"
"Okay, let's go inside and go potty!" Jeonghan hurried her inside to get her to the toilet before she had an accident.
Seungcheol followed them at a leisurely place, lightly tickling Jiwoo's stomach. "Have you had a good day?" Jiwoo babbled in response, grabbing at his nose while smiling.
As soon as they were inside, Jeonghan called to Seungcheol from the bathroom. "We didn't quite make it! Can you get Yumi some new underwear?"
"On it!" Seungcheol set Jiwoo on the blanket spread out on the living room floor and walked over to the basket of clean laundry still sitting on the table, rummaging through it until he found a pair of Yumi's underwear. He took them to the bathroom where Jeonghan was cleaning Yumi's legs off with some wet wipes and handed him the underwear. "Accidents happen, Yumi." He said once he saw the upset expression on the two-year old's face, leaning down to kiss her forehead. He left the bathroom to go back to the living room only to pause at the sight of Jiwoo slowly crawling towards the edge of the blanket. "Jeonghan!" He called out while also pulling out his phone to film the moment just in case the omega missed it.
"What?" Jeonghan called back without leaving the bathroom.
"You really wanna see this." Seungcheol said without any elaboration.
Jeonghan came out of the bathroom with Yumi now in just her shirt and clean underwear, the two-year-old propped on his hip. "What is-" He cut off with a small gasp as he saw Jiwoo steadily crawling towards them. "Yay, Jiwoo!" He cheered, setting Yumi down and crouching next to her, holding his arms out to Jiwoo to encourage her further. Jiwoo smiled brightly and began moving the tiniest bit faster until she finally made it all the way to her mother. "You're getting so big!" Jeonghan gushed as he picked her up, pressing a kiss to her cheek.
"Too big, if you ask me." Seungcheol pouted as he stopped recording and slipped his phone back into his pocket.
"Stop pouting and order us some pizza." Jeonghan shot him a look as he straightened back up. Then he smiled and pressed a comforting kiss to Seungcheol's lips.
