Chapter 4: Cuddles and the Lawyer
As soon as they stepped foot in the house Namjoon watched as Seokjin kicked off his shoes and all but ran to the bedroom. There was a rounding chorus of “PUPPY” followed by the patter of little feet as the twins chased after the omega and Namjoon chuckled. He took off his coat and hung it up then toed off his shoes and entered the living room. Yoongi and Hoseok were cuddled on the couch, two sippy cups abandoned in their laps and Toy Story 3 playing on the T.V.
“Thought you were having lunch with your mother Hoseok,” said Namjoon as he sat in a chair.
Hoseok turned sleepy eyes to the alpha as he snuggled closer to his mate. “Hm, we are but Eomma called and said that she was going to be late so we aren’t meeting up until 1:30,” the omega replied.
Namjoon nodded then turned his eyes to Yoongi. “I take it you aren’t going into the studio?”
Yoongi shrugged. “If you’re taking the day off I thought I’d do the same,” he said. “How was the doctor’s?”
“It went alright,” replied the younger alpha as he leaned back in the chair. “Doc said that Jungkook is five days old and he has a slight upper respiratory problem but that can be fixed with medication. Other than that, he is perfectly healthy which doesn’t explain why he was abandoned. We got all the medical stuff situated and I just have to take care of the legal portion, so I am waiting for Jackson to call me back. Once that is done we can register Jungkook.”
Yoongi nodded again. “All that legal shit could take a while,” he replied.
Namjoon hummed and pulled his laptop out from under the coffee table. “Yeah, I know,” he sighed. Getting up from his chair he walked to the kitchen table and set the laptop down, turning it on. He pulled up a couple of his music programs and grabbed a cup of coffee before sitting down. Might as well get some work done while he waited for the phone call.
A contented silence fell over the house, minus the T.V going in the background and music softly playing from his laptop speakers. Namjoon didn’t even notice Hoseok or Yoongi moving around until the omega tapped on his shoulder. Turning his head, he looked at the brunet and raised an eyebrow.
“What?” he said.
“Come quick and be quiet,” said Hoseok as he tugged on Namjoon’s sleeve.
The alpha got up and followed him to his and Seokjin’s room where Yoongi was standing in the doorway with a camera. He was about to ask what was going on until Hoseok held a finger to his lips and pointed inside the room. Curious he looked inside the room and he could feel his heart melting at the sight that met his eyes. Seokjin was in wolf form sound asleep with all three pups snuggled up to his stomach. The twins with their brown patches of fur were circled around Jungkook, whose head rested on Jimin’s paws and the rest of him was tucked into Taehyung’s side. Taehyung wagged his tail at his parents, hitting Jimin in the face in the process. The older pup didn’t seem to mind as he was gently licking the small black pup.
Hoseok cooed at the tender moment and snapped some pictures with his cellphone as well. “I hate to break them up,” he whined softly.
Yoongi looked at his mate and smiled a little. “I know but we have to go,” he said.
The omega pouted and moved into the room quietly. “Jiminie, Taehyungie, we have to go sweethearts,” he whispered. The pups whimpered and scooted closer causing their mother to roll his eyes. “Don’t start babies, we’re going to see Nana. We’ll be back and you can play with Jungkookie later.” The pups didn’t move. The omega looked at their head alpha with a pout. “Help?” He knew better then to get near an omega with a new pup and the only one who would be able to get close enough without getting growled at would be Namjoon.
Namjoon chuckled and walked into the room. He reached out a hand and ran it down Seokjin’s side; the omega opened his sleep filled eyes to look at his mate and wagged his tail. The alpha smiled and carefully untangled the twins from Jungkook, the older pups whining in protest. While holding the twins in one hand Namjoon gently tucked Jungkook between his mate’s front legs. Walking over to his other pack mates, Namjoon handed the twins to their mother.
“Thank you,” said Hoseok as he left the room to get the twins changed.
“Do you uh… want me to stay here with you for when Jackson calls?” asked Yoongi as he scratched the back of his neck.
The head alpha laughed and shook his head. “Oh no, you’re not using me as an excuse to skip out on lunch with your mother-in-law,” he said. “I do that then it would be my ass that’ll be chewed out by Sunmin-Eomma.”
The older alpha narrowed his eyes at Namjoon. “I hate you,” he said before he turned on his heel and walked away.
Namjoon laughed and walked back to the bed and laid down beside Seokjin. The omega whined softly and pawed at his mate’s chest. The alpha smiled and leaned in closer to plant a kiss on his mate’s muzzle. “Go back to sleep love, I’m right here,” he said softly. He watched as Seokjin huffed a little but closed his eyes and slowly falling back to sleep. Propping himself up on some pillows, Namjoon tucked an arm under his head and closed his eyes.
He was content to just lay here with his family. Family. A small smirk played on Namjoon’s lips as he opened his eyes to look at his mate. He always knew one day that they would start a family though they had always said that they wanted to be stable on their feet before they had any pups, not to say they weren’t stable now cause they were. They owned their own house, Namjoon had his recording studio with Yoongi, Seokjin had his bakery, and Hoseok had his dance studio. To say the least their small little pack was extremely well off. Namjoon always assumed they’d start one after his mate finished school but apparently Seokjin’s wolf had other ideas. Sure, Jungkook may not be theirs by blood but the pup was in need of a family and he was not the type of alpha to turn away a helpless pup. Plus he could never deny the love of his life anything, if he wanted the pup, Namjoon would do everything he can to allow him to keep Jungkook.
Reaching over the alpha ran his hand along the pup’s body, his paws twitching at the sudden touch but settled with a small contented whine. Namjoon smiled and scratched Jungkook’s belly softly as the pup snoozed on. Just as he closed his eyes again, his hand lazily playing with the pups paws and tail, his cell phone rang in his pocket. Jerking up from the bed as carefully as he could he pulled his phone out of his pocket and answered it after seeing Jackson’s number flash across the screen.
“Jackson, hey,” said Namjoon as he exited the bedroom.
“Hey bud, got your messages and I was able to round up the paperwork we’re going to need,” Jackson replied. “So what’s the full story? You guys just found him?”
With a sigh Namjoon explained the whole thing and even what happened at the doctors. When he was done he heard Jackson whistle on the other end of the phone.
“Damn Joon, looks like I got my work cut out for me,” said Jackson. “Okay so there is no way we are not going to be able to avoid an investigation. This is a serious case so it’s going to take a while for sure. We probably won’t be able to make the pup officially yours until the investigation is over but what we can do, so that he won’t be taken away from Jin-hyung, is set you guys up as a foster family with the intent of adoption. That’s the safest route we can take. Hey want to do me a favor and open your front door? My hands are full.”
Namjoon blinks and looks from his phone to the front door before walking over and opened the door. There was Jackson with his cheek pressed to his shoulder, cellphone between them, and arms loaded with files and a briefcase. The alpha’s brown hair was tousled as if he’d left the office in a hurry. Namjoon chuckled and hung up his phone. “Why didn’t you say in the first place you were coming over?” Reaching over he took Jackson’s cell from his shoulder and grabbed the briefcase so his fellow alpha could have a free hand.
“What and ruin the surprise? No way,” laughed Jackson as he stepped into the house and set his stuff down on the table in the hall. “Good to see you.” The two alpha’s shared a hug before both moving into the kitchen and setting down the papers down on the table. “Where is Jin-hyung?”
Namjoon poured them both a cup of coffee and sat down at the table with Jackson. “He and Jungkook are taking a nap. How’s Mark doing? Due soon?”
The brunet wolf took a long sip of coffee and let out a sigh. “Well,” he said and burped lightly, “let’s not wake them. Meanwhile you and I can get to work. As for Mark, he’s doing well. Cursing me for his swollen feet every chance he gets but other than that he’s good. Pup’s due next month.” Jackson started pulling files out and organizing them.
“You guys picked out a name yet?” asked Namjoon.
“Well I really like the name Soomin but Mark insists that we need to name him Yugyeom,” Jackson sighed. “Knowing my mate, he always gets his way.” Namjoon laughed at his friend’s pain.
