Summary: Early motherhood days are difficult especially if you have a demanding job to handle. But it becomes easier if you have an understanding and loving partner. A child is an equal responsibility of both the parents, and must be taught the same.
If I've done any mistake, left out something, your opinions about the story, please comment in the comment section and if you have some suggestions, you can tell me via ask aways and I'll try to repond each one of it.
You were off to your office, as your maternity leave had completed because you loved and needed your job and your husband was completely supportive of it. He believed that the child was his responsibility as much as yours. Also, Minho had a flexible job which could be done from the office as well as he could opt for work from home. On the other hand, your job required more physical and offline presence than his. So, your husband thought that it was practical for him to opt for work from home and you go to the office.
It was 4:00 am in the morning, Minho was sound asleep. His beautiful eyes, defined small nose, fair cheeks, soft lips and his sharp jaw which were enlightened by the rising sun. You couldn't help but admire his beauty which was interrupted by a strand of his silky brown hair. You slightly ran your fingers along his sharp jaw and were about to plant a kiss on his cheeks when you got interrupted by the loud wails of your daughter. Lee Minho is a light sleeper, he gets disturbed by he faintest of the sounds. He opened his eyes to your disappearing figure, which he knew was headed towards your daughter's room. He carefully followed you to the room, and admired the view of you taking care of the little angel, with the cats roaming around you. After putting your daughter back to sleep, you carefully hugged her, and silent tears of mixed emotions flowed down your cheeks as you remembered that you had to leave your daughter for the whole day. To which Minho quickly back hugged you, moving his arms up and down your waist and placing a few kisses here and there on your shoulder blade. "It will be alright babe. You are doing a great job as a mother. shhh.....", he said to console you. He knew it would be difficult for you to leave your daughter for even the day. "I don't know what to do. I'm excited to rejoin the office but I'm guilty to leave my little girl alone." You sobbed keeping her back in the crib. "Nah she ain't lonely, she has her sweet and lovely father with her. Believe me, she won't even miss you." To which you chuckled, and gave him the I-love-you face, and hugged him. Minho pulled apart just enough to see your face, and wiped off your tears, and kissed your tears. "We'll get over it, together. And most importantly, stop crying your spoiling my shirt." To which you gasped and hit his chest softly. Then it clicked to you, "Shit! I have to cook the breakfast and lunch for you. If I don't start now I'll get late." you exclaimed. "Babe! babe! BABE! Relax, let me do the honor." "But-" "No buts, I'm cooking today & that's final." So, despite your pleas, Minho cooked your lunch and breakfast and made out with you in the shower, and bid you farewell.
Your co-workers welcomed you, and your bestie was pleased to see you back. Your boss was happy to see you back as well. You really missed your daughter, but you resisted the tempt to see your daughter, and worked with all your might to be able to reach home early and meet your daughter and your husband. Minho was already good at babysitting, and now that it's his daughter made it even better. He was in the nursery the whole day, with a laptop on a small table and his daughter in his lap. During vc's he had to resist himself from cooing over the cute babbling sounds your daughter was making while playing with the fabric of his shirt. Soonie, doongie and dori had already grown attached to her, so, whenever she cried either of the cats laid down beside her and let her pet them, or whenever Minho had to keep her busy due to work, he used to give her a children's book of alphabets and animal sounds and lay the cats around her. They could keep her entertained for hours. Lee know was exceptionally good in consoling her, because whenever she heard her father's voice, or when she was in his arms, or when she was on top of his tummy; she would calm down instantly. He loved to bathe his daughter. The way she giggled and splashed and played in water made him happier than ever. "Aigoo! Look at my baby, see, she's such a good girl", he kept cooing at her, whenever she listened to him, and made his work easier. It seemed that his daughter had understood the situation, and whole-heartedly accepted it.
In the evening, after Minho had finished his work, he carried his daughter in his lap and placed her on the high baby chair while cooking your dinner and prepared his daughter's formula. He kept your and his dinner to have it later once you arrive, and fed his daughter the formula, while doing all sorts of aegyo and tricks for her to complete her food. Once completed, he carried his daughter back to the drawing room, and sat down on the carpet and made her sit on his lap as the cats were asleep and he didn't want to disturb his kids. Switching on the Tv playing Nursery rhymes, he didn't remember when he fell asleep waiting for you.
On arriving home, you called for Minho softly while slipping off your heels, just to find the cutest and the most peaceful sight in the world for you. Your husband was lying down while securing his daughter with both his arms on top of his chest, sleeping quietly. You didn't had the heart to wake him up, so you quickly closed the door and when you were about to go to the washroom, you heard your husband's soft voice calling you,"Jagiya! You came back. How was your day?" Despite 4 years of marriage and 2 years of dating, you were awestruck by the caring nature of your husband. You chuckled, taking your daughter from him and said, "You're sleepy and yet you're concerned. It was good, just missed my babies. How was your day?" Minho chuckled and put his head on your shoulder, and lazily said, "It was different, but pleasant. I didn't have dinner yet, did you? I've fed her already so she's going to be asleep till dawn atleast."You chuckled, and said " Thank God! Finally we can get some sleep today. Anyways, I didn't have dinner yet, wanted to have it with you. Should I cook some?" Minho smiled while petting your daughter's back, who was desperately tugging on your neck and caressing your cheeks, looking at you adorably. "You don't have to. I've already cooked us dinner. Go freshen up while I warm the food.", he said while taking your daughter in his arms to put her in the crib. Once you took off your clothes, you called Minho to give you the towel that you had forgot to take in with you. Your husband chuckled while exclaiming, "Pabo!" on your forgetful nature, and brought you the towel and stood outside the door. You grabbed the opportunity and pulled him in the shower with you. "My dear hubbie! You waited for me all day, you took care of the house, you took care of our daughter and also cooked us dinner. You deserve some quality time." It just took a moment for your husband to take off his clothes and join you in the shower. You were having a great time, until your daughter started wailing. "I hate this side of being parents! Wah! I was close." "baby! Behave, let me put her to sleep this time and then we'll have dinner together, hmmm" "Sounds great! We can have some kitchen sex later." You blushed at your husband's shameless suggestion, not that you're complaining.
Thank you sooooooo...... much. I love you💖😍
