JUNGKOOK POV

His nightmares seemed to swamp him, dragging him down deep every time he tried to surface.

Jih's face swam into view, his grandfather's voice echoed in his ears and somewhere there was the distant cry of a baby.

That cry got louder and louder until Jungkook couldn't ignore it.

"Don't cry, little one." he tried to say, his voice catching in his throat.

"Baby?" a voice murmured in his ear.

"Kook can you open your eyes for me?"

"C'mon sweetheart, that's it."

He blinked his eyes open at the coaxing, cajoling tone.

He knew that voice.

"Alpha?"

"Right here, Omega."

"We're right here."

"I'm so tired." It was a real struggle to keep his eyes open.

"I know you are."

"You've been unconscious for a while, Everyone's been so worried about you."

"Jih."

Jungkook suddenly remembered his uncle.

He'd been there, at the hospital, right after the baby was born.

He'd taken Jungkook to those alphas then he'd made him drink something, told him his baby was dea— He tried to move,to get up.

"Hey, hey. it's okay."

"He's not here, you're safe."

"But our baby."

"She's right here, sweetheart."

"She's in your arms, Just look down."

Confused, Jungkook glanced down to see a small bundle lying on his chest and stomach.

The bundle shifted, a hand poking free as the baby moved her head, her eyes seeking his.

"Hi," he gushed out,overwhelmed by emotion as he caught her scent. "There you are."

"She's missed you."

He glanced over his shoulder at Jimin, the alpha pressed close to him, his arms wrapped around Jungkook and the baby.

"Why? Where have I been?"

"It's a long story."

"Jih took you from the hospital and hid you from us."

"We contacted your grandfather and he helped get you away from Jih but then he took you away from us."

He could vaguely remember his grandfather trying to talk to him, but the memory was fuzzy.

"We came to bring you home but when we got here, we learned you were really sick." Jimin continued.

"because of what Jih gave you."

"We've been here about three hours now and you just woke up."

He tried to make sense of all of it but tiredness swamped him.

"Okay," he murmured. "I'm glad you're here."

"Me, too." Jimin kissed his cheek.

"Go back to sleep, We'll be right here when you wake up."

His second awakening was a lot clearer than his first.

Jimin was sitting on the bed next to him,their daughter in his arms feeding her from a bottle of milk.
