Welcome Home, Baby

16

One thing that can describe the current condition of the Kim family house: MESSY. Children's toys were scattered everywhere, the smell of baby diapers was stinging all over the room and forced the maid to repeatedly spraying the air freshner. And the worst was the sound of a baby crying that heard for several times. It was really defeaning. Yeah she was Lee Kyong, one year old baby was none other than the only one daughter of Lee Jonghyun and Luna who will be etrusted in the Kim family house for three days

Please don't ask how Jennie's response when her best friend asked her permission to leave Kyong temporarily. She squealed with delight, and then shopped all about baby's stuff with Eun Jin who initially attracted to accompany her sister-in-law but ended with regret because they had to go around the mall for five hours nonstop

Jennie was over-excited. Eun Jin even still had to help her to tidy up the baby's room and picked the lucky baby to her parent's house

"What time is it?" Jennie asked the baby sitter who has ordered by Luna to accompany Kyong while there. She just didn't want to bother her friend, if it wasn't her who took care of everything alone, especially if it concerns about parenting. Obviously she felt even better to take care of Kyong by herself without the help of any nurse

"It's 4pm, mam" The nurse who still stood beside her answered politely

"Omg, It was late afternoon. Time to eat, dear" She lifted Kyong to the air and shook her playfully, "Ah nurse, can you please make the porridge for her?" She ordered

"Sure" The nurse was about to walk towards kitchen before Jennie stopped her

"Forget it nurse, I want to cook it by myself" She stood and approached the nurse to give Kyong to her. But the nurse then reminded her on something

"I'm sorry mam, wouldn't it be better if she bath first? Because its already late afternoon, So I guess it will be no good if the baby is washed too late" She talked carefully. Jennie was a bit surprised and held Kyong back to her embrace

"Oh you are right. Let's bath her first. Then after that, I'll cook for her" Jennie smiled and took the baby towards the bathroom. The nurse followed her from behind. She helped Jennie to prepare the water and soap while her master was playing with Kyong on the bed. After finished picking up her clothes

"It's ready, mam. Should I bath the baby or you want to do it by yourself?" The nurse asked

"No need, nurse. Of course I'll bath her by myself. Let's go baby" She picked Kyong then walked inside the bathroom

Silence filled in the air

-

Jennie still stood up in front of the baby bath while carried the baby in her arms

-

"Hmm, nurse, I think I need your help" She wasn't sure she could wash Kyong alone because this was her first experience of bathing the baby. She never bath a baby before, so she didn't know where to start from. The only thing that she could do was stare at the duck shaped baby bathtub intensely

The nurse swallowed her smile when she saw Jennie reaction without any intention of humiliate her. She just amused to see how enthusiastic she was to take care of everything related to her but in fact she had never actually do it at all. She appreciated her master's hard work, but in the end, it still was her who had to intervene to help her

Jennie watched intensely how the nurse undressing Kyong carefully. Then checked water temperature before entering the baby into it. She looks very professional. Kyong cried when she first entered into the bathtub but became relaxed and excited afterwards. Her hands flapped cheerfully on the water, created splashes water everywhere. Jennie laughed happily to see the rare scenery in front of her

She was so stunned to see how expert the nurse thumbed Kyong's body forward and backward without slipping. Maybe if it was her, she had slipped and drowned the baby in the water. Jennie shook her head to dispel the bad thought from her mind

It only took 10 minutes to bathe her. Nurse said that a baby shouldn't be bathed for too long to prevent her catching a cold. Jennie nodded in understanding as she noted every word and tips that was brought up by the nurse in her memory

"You wanna try to put on her dress, mam" She said after dried Kyong. The baby was already crawl here and there while Jennie tried to put the dress on her. She tried harder to put it one by one while Kyong refused impatiently

Oh c'mon dear, could you stay still for a while? ~ She said helplessly in her mind

"You should rubbing the eucalyptus oil on her body first before put the clothes on" The nurse handed a bottle of eucalyptus oil to her. Jennie forced to open the dress again to rub the oil, then paired the back dress on her body. Jennie wiped the sweat which started rolling down her forehead

"Done" She half - shouted when she has finished dressing Kyong successfully. She was satisfied when she saw the baby. Kyong looks very pretty in a pink dress and a ribbon in her curly hair "Let's eat, darling. You already hungry?"

Kyong nodded then held out her hands towards Jennie. She immediately held the baby and kissed her so deep. She likes her smell, typical baby scent

"Nurse, please teach me to cook baby porridge" Jennie asked her when they walked to the kitchen together

"Kyong - ah actually doesn't like porridge, mam. She would spewing out every time we fed porridge" She said

"Is that so? So what should we cook for her?" She frowned, "What do you want to eat, Kyong - ah?" Then she asked Kyong directly even she couldn't answer her

"Let's cook soft rice with scrambled eggs and spinach" The nurse suggested her while Jennie nodded excitedly

It was definitely easy for her to cook scrambled eggs and spinach only. She used to cook it every time her husband lost his appetite, but the difference was she shouldn't put any salt or sugar into it. Again, the nurse said that sugar and salt should only be consumed by infants in very small amounts. It was intended that the baby doesn't know the flavor more quickly to prevent of becoming a picky eater

~•☆♡☆•~

A few minutes later

"I'm done, Kyong - ah. Hmm it smell yummy" Jennie inhaled a small plate contains of soft rice, scrambled eggs and spinach deliciously. She walked up to Kyong who was busy playing with her doll at the living room with Eun Jin. She blew softly a small spoonful of rice which was ready to be bribed into her small mouth to assuage the heat

"Open your mouth, darling. Aaaa" Jennie opened her mouth wide as an example of her to do the same. But she failed. Kyong refused the spoon and kept playing with her doll. Jennie won't ever give up. She tried again, even with little tricks to attracted her attention so that she could open her mouth but unconciously. The first attempt failed

"Omg! Look at that kitten, aww so cute!!" She tried again for the second time. Still failed

"Ohh look aunty Eun Jin wants to steal your food, Kyong - ah" She pretended to feed Eun Jin while she glared at her to follow her movement to open her mouth while Eun Jin could only gape to not understand. Jennie put down the spoon lethargically when Kyong was again covering her tiny mouth tightly with her hands. Another attempt failed

-

"Kyong - ah pleasseee open your mouth, darling" She started to beg her to open her mouth, but instead she cried. Jennie bit her lower lip to keep her patience. She looked at Eun Jin with pleaded eyes

"No, please not me. I can't do it unnie" She waved her hands to defend herself from her sister - in - law's pitiful face while Taehyung came at the same time at the right time to be exact

"Hello" He walked towards the girls then kissed Jenni's cheek slightly

"Thank God you came, Tae" She let out a heavy sigh when she saw her husband's presence, and was also Eun Jin

"Why?" He stared their pitiful faces. Yeah two of them were sigh in unison, seems they had a big problem that couldn't be handle by them

"Kyong doesn't want to eat, Tae" Jennie gave up and put the plate down while the baby was still busy with her legos

Taehyung smiled, "Oh? Alright, let me feed her. I'll show you the power of fatherhood" He said arrogantly as he unbuttoned his white and blue shirt and rolled it up to the elbow

He lifted Kyong into his embrace and started to sing along with her. Of course Kyong enjoyed it so much. She was shaking her hands like wanted to show her skill of dancing to everybody. Taehyung blinked his eye towards Jennie playfully as he wanted to show off his ability to handle the baby. Jennie and Eun Jin hissed in unison but felt relief at the same time

Taehyung took the spoon and ready to feed her, "Kyong - ah aaaa" He was also open his mouth wide "Come on!!"

Kyong pushed the spoon so it fell down and the rice were scattered on the floor. Jennie and Eun Jin tried so hard to hold back their laugh. Taehyung hissed in annoyance but tried to keep himself calm

"Here" Then he sent back her to Jennie who was still giggled along with Eun Jin

"Yay! Don't you want to show off your skill, daddy?" She teased him then continued to laugh in satisfied

"Don't do that!!" He half - shouted and succeed to make Jennie to hit his arm so hard

"Aww it's hurt, darling" And unexpectedly it made Kyong laughed happily and made the three of them gaped in awe

"You like it, huh? Taste this" Taehyung started to tickle the baby and succeed to make her laughed loudly. Jennie ran away with her to avoid her silly husband, she was also giggled and felt happy every time she heard her cheerful laugh

"Kyong - ah let's open your mouth or else uncle will catch and tickle you again" Jennie took the spoon and tried to feed her once again. And Hooray!! She opened her mouth and ate the food slowly. Jennie, Eun Jin and Taehyung cheered in happiness

"Yeayy, good girl" Taehyung ruffled her hair and kissed her cheek, "Enjoy your meal, darling" But suddenly, Kyong held out her hands towards him. As she was asking uncle Taehyung to hold her

"You want me to hold you?" Taehyung asked her and she nodded her with a bright smile "Alright then, come to daddy" He snatched her from Jennie and let his wife focus to feed her. Eun Jin inhaled and exhaled in relief when she saw rare but beautiful scenery in front of her

Her brother with his wife were enjoying their time to taking care of baby, someone else's baby. She didn't care as long as they enjoy it so much. She prayed to the God to immediately send a baby to them secretly. She couldn't help herself every time she saw her unnie cried desperately to have a baby

"I better leave" She turned around and ready to leave before Jennie and Taehyung called her in unison

"Eunjin!" "Why??"

"It's your turn to take care of her, oppa, unnie. Both of you that will be a parent soon, not me!" She hissed then turned and walked towards her bedroom, leaving the Kim couple who were gape in awe. They shook their heads in unison then continue to fed Kyong
