Chapter 24- Happy Birthday

Chapter 24

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Taerin happy Birthday to you"

I smile as me and Taehyung sing to our girl, her sleepy eyes watch us as a goofy smile spreads across her face. Taehyung's eyes sparkle as he sits on the edge of the bed with the small cake

"Blow out the candles baby bear"

Taerin giggles as she sits up in bed and closes her eyes, my insides get warm as I watch the loving face Taehyung is giving her as she blows out her candles. It was hard to believe that he was now officially in her life for a year, it felt so much longer but time is a funny thing I guess.

"Yay! Happy Birthday baby bear"

Tae cheers making sleepy Taerin giggle and cling to his side, Taehyung hugs her back and kisses the top of her head as her smiling eyes find mine.

"Happy birthday my love, you ready for the best birthday ever?"

She giggles and nods her head as Taehyung places the cake on her nightstand and picks her up to hold her close to his chest. I can see the tears forming in his eyes as she hugs him back and I smile. "You're getting so big baby bear, and becoming such a beautiful young lady. I love you so much you know that?"

Taerin giggles again and pulls back to look at her Appa "Dont cry Appa!" She giggles squishing his cheeks and giving him Eskimo kisses "I love you too and I'll always be your baby bear Appa but that has to be a secret okay?"

Taehyung laughs and kisses her face up "Okay it's our secret, now you better get ready so I can set up for your big party" she dances in her appa's arms and I chuckle "Okay bub go get in the shower so we can get going" she jumps up and runs to the bathroom as I eye Taehyung "Remember nothing too big, our girl is simple she'll be happy to just have everyone there. This is technically her first birthday party so keep it simple" Taehyung nods but I don't fully trust him.

"Of course Mrs Kim"

He then gets up and towers over me as his large beautiful hands find my waist, I hate how he makes my insides flutter. "I love you so much y/n, thank you for bringing this little girl into my life and thank you for coming back to me" I smile feeling my tears swelling up as I caress his bread like cheek, he closes his eyes and smiles at my touch.

"I love you too taehyung more than you'll ever know"

The day goes by fast, I took taerin to her favorite cafe to get some breakfast we then went shopping to get her new clothes and plushies. Before I took her to get her hair done as per request, we then went to get her a special birthday outfit before returning back to the house for her party. I knew it was probably going to be a bit over the top but I was hoping Taehyung listened a little bit.

"I'm kind of nervous Eomma"

Taerin giggles gripping on to my hand. I felt like crying looking down at the sweet girl, she looked so much older today with her new hair and clothes. Flashes of her baby self flood my head and I have to stop and hold her just for a moment. "Eomma what's wrong?"

I chuckle and kiss her cheeks before tucking her hair behind her ear. "I just love you, I can't believe how big you're getting" she smiles and hugs me back. "Eomma don't cry, like I told Appa I'll still be your baby just not in front of my friends that's embarrassing" I chuckle and wipe my eyes before standing up again "okay fine we won't embarrass you, let's go see how crazy your Appa went"
