Jennie POV

"....And then I walked to my car and found someone trying to steal it! Can you believe that? But then a beautiful angel stepped out and I knew I'd give her anything. It was your mommy! I knew right then that I loved her, and once I found out about you, I loved her even more. Your mommy is the most beautiful and amazing person on this earth. We're so lucky to have her"

My eyes are heavy as I focus and try to force them open. Immediately I notice a small ache between my legs and a sticky wetness there as well

Finally I'm able to force my eyes open, but quickly close them again, whimpering when the light blinds me

"Hey" Taehyung whispers, his voice closer than before "You're okay. Everything's fine. You're coming off some pretty powerful drugs, just take your time"

I slowly focus on my breathing and finally I'm able to flutter my eyes open. Taehyung's handsome face is right in front of me, but for the first time, he's not the one I want

"Where is she?" I croak

"She's right here"

He grins holding up the pink bundle in his arms and I reach out my hands for her. My limbs feel like they're dead, but nothing could stop me from holding her right now

"She's been patiently waiting for you to wake up" He says placing her gently into my arms

My sweet angel is looking up at me with light brown eyes, and my heart melts. She's wearing a soft pink knitted hat and a white onesie that says "hello world" in silver sparkles. I immediately tug off her hat to find a completely bald head. I laugh and kiss her smooth skin before replacing her beanie. The white and pink blanket she's swaddled in covers her legs and feet so I quickly unwrap her to find skinny chicken legs, and tiny sock-covered feet. Her socks are quickly removed as I count her 10 sweet toes before putting them back. I quickly swaddle her again so she doesn't get cold and cuddle her against my chest

"Is she okay?" I ask Taehyung, taking my eyes off my sweet baby girl for the first time

"She's perfect: 6 pounds, 11 ounces, and 18 inches long. She's tiny because she was a little early, but she's completely developed and normal"

I breathe out a sigh of relief against her soft forehead when the memory of Taehyung yelling and something pouring out of my body hits me

"What happened? How long was I out?"

"You had a postpartum hemorrhage. The medication to control your pain knocked you out. You've been asleep for about an hour. We controlled the bleeding and you're fine. Little Miss here had a few ounces of formula, but you can still breastfeed if you want; she's new so she'll adjust well. Other than that, we've just been waiting for you to wake up"

"Thank you" I tell him, tears burning my throat "You saved both of our lives"

Taehyung leans forward to lay his forehead on mine as his eyes close

"I was so scared" He whispers "I was doing everything right, but when your blood started pooling on the floor, my heart dropped out of my chest. It was the worst moment of my life"

"Hey" I whisper running one hand through his hair "I'm okay. We're okay and we're all finally together"

He nods and kisses me before leaning down and kissing our sweet baby girl

"Thank you so much, Jen. I never knew life could be this amazing"

"Neither did I" I whisper

Those several minutes we spend enjoying each other and our baby are ones I know I'll never forget

"Are all of them are here?" I ask after awhile

"Yes. They're all waiting patiently for us to have some alone time before they officially meet their niece"

"They can come in. I'm ready" I tell him

"Um...love, you might want to put a shirt on first"

I look down to see that I'm topless and my heavy breasts are out in the open

"Here" He says handing me his shirt I was wearing earlier. I reluctantly have to give him back the baby so I can put my arms through the shirt, but once I do, I get her right back

"Ready?" He asks once he's tucked the blankets around me and made sure nothing inappropriate is showing

"Yep" I nod and smile

It's only a few seconds before there's a timid knock at the door

"Come in" Taehyung and I say at the same time. One by one all of them file in led by Rose and Jimin who have already seen their niece

"Hi guys" I say softly "We would like for you to meet your baby niece: Elaine Kim"

Taehyung's eyes twinkle as I say our baby name and the others smile at the name Taehyung and I agreed upon just a few weeks ago
