Chapter Text
The house is filled with adults and children running around; MiRae was outside ordering the neighborhood kids around in the backyard while Taeho acted her second in command with Bow in tow, of course. Jin and Namjoon had started the party, seeing Taehyung, Jimin, and Jungkook upstairs in dreamland.
The kids didn't notice at all once their friends began to show up, which was a good thing because Taeho could be a bit of a cry baby. Thankfully, Jin and Namjoon were pros at keeping the kiddos nice and distracted.
Yoongi set out another round of cake pops on the treat table in the backyard, taking a look around at all the kids playing on the jungle gym behind him. He smiles when he sees MiRae calling the shots. Jin and Hoseok come out with more chips and sodas, setting them up on the same table.
"Where's the unstoppable trio?," Yoongi inquired, glancing over at the two beside him.
Hoseok chuckled, turning to face his lover after setting the bowel of chips down. "Knowing them, thier probably still screwing."
After dumping the rest of the drinking in the cooler, Jin shook his head, grabbing a beer from the bottom before standing to his feet. He laughs, "no their not. Namjoon went up and checked an hour ago…their most likely sleeping."
Yoongi sighs, "I'm not surprised. Those little rug rats can be a hand full," he smiles softly, looking over at the two children he's grown to love as his own playing in the yard. The other men did the same, memories of the day Taeho and MiRae joined family running through their minds.
The two changed everything for the better, but the most significant change could be seen in the poly couple. When Tae, Jimin, and Jungkook were considering adopting, everyone was a bit concerned. Jungkook had been Taehyung and Jimin's whole universe for a long time. It was hard to imagine they'd be willing to share all that love they've built up between them with anyone else. Nevertheless, this was something the couple wanted and most adamant about.
However, when friends and family saw them with MiRae and Taeho, it was apparent that they would be the perfect parents.
Now they only need to watch their potty mouths around the kids-it's seemed to have gotten worse since the kids were adopted.
Jin and Hoseok chuckled, shaking their heads at how accurate the comment was, but before any of them could utter another word, Jungkook was rushing out the back door, buttoning his shirt with a bad case of bedhead- Taehyung in tow, looking just as disheveled as his husband.
They make their way over to the group of men standing near the snack table, staring at them in amusement. Jungkook took the beer out of Jin's hand, opening it and taking a healthy swig before handing it back to him.
"You two look like hell," Jin jokes, earning him a playful smack on the back of the head from his brother.
"Where's Jimin?" Hoseok laughs at the two now play fighting like they were children.
Jungkook widens his eyes, realizing the man in question didn't come out with them. "I don't-" he was interrupted when a sobbing Taeho came running over, arms stretched for his Appa and Daddy.
Taehyung stopped what was he doing, rushing over to meet the boy halfway in the yard, kneeling to swoop him up in arms and spin him around. "Oh, what's wrong, little one? Did you get hurt?" He inquires, worried that he couldn't keep up with the older kids; the other men came over as well, just as concerned as the young boy's fathers
Taeho clung to Taehyung's neck tightly, burying his face in the crook of his neck. "Where were you, Daddy? I so scared!"
Jungkook and the rest of the group shared a look of relief, chuckling a bit; Taehyung was relieved too. They knew the boy was a bit of a drama queen; he probably didn't even notice they were gone until he looked across the yard.
"Oh, baby. It's alright. We're here now. You don't have to be scared," Tae soothes the boy's back, cuddling him close. Jungkook came over and kissed the tiny body in his husband's arms, nuzzling his nose in Taeho's cheek,
"You're so cute, Taeho. I can't stand it," he praises the boy, stroking the younger's hair allowing him to calm a bit.
Yoongi glanced behind him to see Jimin and Namjoon coming out the back door with the triple layer chocolate mousse cake- MiRae's favorite.
Yoongi smiled, walking around to get into Taeho's line of sight, booping his tiny nose. "Hey, little guy. I know what will make you feel better." That piqued Taeho's interest, perking up his head slightly in curiosity."What is it, uncle, Yoonie?"
The man grinned, "cake."
And as if on cue, Namjoon, Jimin, and the rest of the guests in the house started to sing happy birthday, catching everyone's attention. Taeho lifted his head, eyes sparkling bright when he saw the chocolatey dessert. "Cake!" He cheered, practically leaping out of Taehyung's arms, forgetting all about what made him upset in the first place.
The man let him down, allowing him to join his sister and the other kids. Taehyung and the others laughed, watching the child flock towards Jimin and Namjoon like hungry penguins at feeding time at the zoo.
"Well, that was easy," he chuckled, walking with his husband and the others to join in on the fun.
The house was now empty; the only people remaining were family. ChangWook takes a seat at the dining room table after washing the dishes and taking out the trash. Jinsoo slides over a bottle of beer before sitting back in his chair. The house still had quite a few decorations up, but MiRae demanded they stay up for the rest of the week.
Jimin slumped in his chair comfortably, holding a slumbering Taeho in his arms, chocolate frosting still around his mouth. Jungkook took a seat on Taehyung's lap, seeing there weren't enough seats around the table for all of them in comfortable silence, enjoying the late afternoon.
Finally, Namjoon spoke up, noticing MiRae still playing in the backyard with Bow.
"She still has energy?"
The group of men look to see the girl running back and forth with her pet rabbit in her arms; they chuckled fondly, "it's better this way. She'll be out like a light after here bath," everyone smiled, eyes fixed on the girl outside playing pretend all on her own. Suddenly Jinsoo chuckled, bring the group's attention to him. "This is crazy," he mutters, shaking his head, taking a sip of his beer with a faint smile across his lips. His brother's farrow there brows, confused as to what the man was referring to.
Jimin adjusted Taeho's lamp body on his lap before addressing his younger brother, "what is?"
"Our lives," Jinsoo answers, looking around at the puzzled expressions on his friend's faces. He continues, "did any of you imagine you're lives being like this three years ago? You three have two amazing. I'm getting married to the women of my dreams, Jin and Namjoon are finally together after years of denial…look at all of us…we've changed," he paused, looking over at Kyunsoo and Chang sitting beside one another across the table, "well, not all of us."
The table laughs at the joke; Kyunsoo plays along, wrapping his arm around Chang's neck, bringing him in close, placing a kiss on the man's cheek. "I guess we were meant to be." Chang scoffed, pushing the man off of him, "no way, my heart still belongs to JK." He announces with conviction, looking across the table at the man on Taehyung's lap. "What do you say, Jungkookie? Leaves these jokers and come run away with me," he offers, eliciting a hearty laugh from the latter. Jungkook runs his fingers through his cut, raven hair, a bright smile on his face.
"Not a chance, hyung."
Chang sits back in his seat, not before winking at the man and biting his lower lip, "one day, you'll say."
Of course, he wasn't serious, and everyone knew that. Especially his husbands. Taehyung laughed, "when that day comes, you can take the little hooligans with you too." Jimin gasped, playfully hitting his husband in the arm, "no, we can't give away our babies," he cradles Taeho's head, rocking him back and forth. The men around the table continued to laugh at the light-hearted jokes. Jimin continues, getting back to his brother's point. "You're right, Jinsoo. We've all changed. I mean, three years ago, we were doing it every morning like clockwork. Now, I can't tell you the last time we had sex."
Jungkook perked up, "Friday," he injected proudly, referring to the quick jerk-off section they had in the shower before the kids woke up and interrupted them- spoiler, no got to finish because Taeho came in crying for them.
Taehyung chuckling, stroking cheek the younger's gently, "we mean real sex, baby."
The man slouched, jetting his bottom lip out and farrowing his brow in deep thought. "The last time we had real sex, huh?"
Jin chuckled nervously, "you're not serious, right? It can't be that bad, can it?"
Jimin smiled at the men, "I never joke about an orgasm, Jinnie."
Jin and Namjoon shared a look, nervousness in their eyes. Were they really ready to sacrifice their sex life for a baby?
Yoongi laughed at the horror in the couple's eyes, patting Namjoon on the shoulder. "Yeah, that's why Hobi and I started off with a dog."
Taehyung injected, afraid this conversation was taking a turn for the worse. The last thing he wanted to do was talk his brother out of something he's wanted for a long time, Namjoon included. "Look, we dove in headfirst with two kids at a time because we wanted to keep MiRae and Taeho together. You guys don't have to do what we did…you can have one baby and be perfectly fine…sex and all," he offered his older brother a warm smile, letting him know everything was going to be okay.
Jin reciprocated the gesture, relaxing and taking in a deep breath before grabbing Namjoon's hand under the table to get his attention. "We can do it," the man smiled at the younger. Namjoon paused for a moment, finding reassurance in the latter's deep brown eyes. "Yeah, we can," the sweet moment went over well with everyone at the table. Jungkook leaned over and kissed the top of Taehyung's head.
Suddenly the moment was cut short when MiRae came inside, standing between her father's seats; Everyone erupted into cheers, Chang inviting the girl to take a seat on his lap.
Just like that, for obvious reasons, the focus was all on MiRae. Seeing the light in her eyes as she talks about her day warmed everyone's hearts, captivating them with every word.
Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook would gladly give up sex for the rest of their lives if it meant they could keep seeing that light in their children's eyes.
Later That Night.
Jungkook, Jimin, Taehyung, and Taeho, surround MiRae's bed after getting her all tucked in. Jungkook sat on the left side of the bed with Taeho in his lap, while Taehyung and Jimin sat on the other side.
"Alright, little duck, we've read two books and listened to Taeho's amazing story about the dragon and the unicorn. Now, it's time to go to bed." Jungkook said.
MiRae yawned, rubbing his eyes with her fists. "But… I'm not even tired," she said as she fought to keep her eyes open.
Taehyung hummed, smiling fondly at the girl, leaning over to place a kiss on her forehead. "Goodnight, birthday girl. Sweet dreams," he stood up to allow Jimin to say his goodnights.
Jungkook picked up her tiny hand and kissed it, seeing MiRae had already fallen asleep. They all filed out the room, turning out the main light, leaving the castle-shaped nightlight on that was plugged in near the girl's bed.
Taeho was exhausted even though he'd gotten a considerable amount of sleep while he was in Jimin's lap earlier that afternoon. He was out cold by the time they reached his room and laid him down.
His daddies tucked him in and gave him good night kisses just as they did his sister.
Finally, the poly couple were alone, that is until Taeho or MiRae wakes up in the middle of the night looking for them.
They walk to their room, too tired to do anything else, flopping onto their shared bed simultaneously, closing their eyes as soon as their bodies the mattress.
Jimin grunted, "we can't fall asleep in our clothes again." He said into a quiet room; Taehyung's heavy breaths were already sounding.
Jimin groans one last time, stretching out his arms and hitting the men on either side of him, waking them up.
Jungkook sits up and rubs his eyes, taking in a deep breath before looking at the exhausted men beside him. He smiles softly at their slumbering bodies. Then, he hums, thinking about the day they met in the coffee shop all those years ago. He can't believe it's been so long- so much has happened since then; their parents, for god's sake.
He's grown up with the older man; they made him who he is today, and he's grateful. Who knows where he would be if he'd never met Taehyung and Jimin.
Jungkook slips off the bed and begins removing his clothes, not too concerned about putting on anything to cover up.
Jimin begins to stir in the bed, stretching and yawning before sitting up. He smirks when he sees Jungkook with his back turned, taking off his pants. "Well, hello there," he says, getting the man's attention.
Jungkook turned around and smiled, "you're awake,"
he giggles when the elder stands and smacks him on the ass.
Jimin begins removing his clothes, taking a look at Taehyung still knocked out on the bed- he shakes his head, "we might have to undress him. It doesn't look like he's gonna wake up anytime soon."
Jungkook chuckled, "I'm sure he'd love that," before Jimin could respond, Taehyung speaking up. "Yeah, I would," he laughs tiredly, sitting up just enough to support himself on his elbows.
Jimin rolled his eyes, "hurry up and get undressed."
Tae wiggled his eyebrow,
"yes, sir," he says suggestively.
Jungkook stood, watching his lovers ready themselves for bed like they did every night. Jimin and Tae were talking about their plans for the next day.
He looks at the men he loves fondly, more in love with them now, as they are half-dressed, unkempt, and on the verge of collapse than he's ever been in the course of their relationship. The love they shared was forever.
He was snatched from his thoughts when Taehyung called his name.
"What?"
"I asked if you could take the kids in the morning before you open up the studio…I have an important meeting with the investors, and Jimin has been asked to consult on a project, and they need him at 7."
Jungkook shrugged, not finding anything wrong with going into work later than usual; after all, he's the boss.
"I'll call Hanjae in the morning and have him open up," he said casually.
Jimin raises his brow, staring at the younger, noticed the spaced-out glint in his eyes. Jungkook crawls in the bed, pulling the covers over his lap, joining his husbands. "What were you thinking about, love?" Jimin finally inquired, grabbing Tae's attention too.
Jungkook just shakes his head. He kisses Jimin on the cheek first and then Taehyung, "let's get some rest. we have a busy day ahead tomorrow." he hums before laying down and turns on his side, a faint smile on his lips. Taehyung and Jimin both look down at the man between them and then back at each other, smiling. They wasted no time attacking the boy with kisses and praises, eliciting the cutest giggles and gasps from the other.
They already knew what Jungkook was thinking and felt the same way.
Their life is very different from what it used to be, but their love for one another has stayed constant throughout the years.
THE END
