The morning sickness was back.  And it was bad today.  Miyun had been ok yesterday and the day before, and even this morning.  But as soon as breakfast had ended, so had the calmness in her stomach.  Right now, she was bent over the toilet, puking out all her breakfast.  She let out a shuddery breath and leaned back, surprised when Jimin pulled her into his arms.

“You ok?”

“Yeah…just morning sickness,” she mumbled against his chest.

She’d been trying to be as quiet as she could.  She and Jimin wanted to wait to tell everyone until tomorrow.  It would be a great thing to announce on Christmas.  But now that might’ve been ruined.

“Jimin…did anyone else hear?”

Jimin shook his head. “No.  The kids have all been getting themselves into trouble, so everyone has their hands full.”

She nodded and leaned her head on his chest again. “Ok…”

Hobi stood on the back porch as he bounced Hojin on his hip.  The tiny baby was giggling.

“Is that fun, Hojinie?”

Hojin looked up at his appa and grinned.

Namjoon joined them on the deck a few minutes later with Hyungmin in his arms.

“Oh, here you are.  This one was in the living room with Tae, Namji, and Xia.”

Hyungmin squeaked when he saw his brother, and immediately tried to dive towards Hobi.  Namjoon caught him, thankfully.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Hyungmin giggled and kicked his legs.

“I think it might snow again soon,” Hobi commented as he stared at the sky.

“Yeah…we probably should take these two back inside.”

Hobi nodded and turned towards the door before opening it and leading them inside.

Junseo was awake again, and he and Xia were throwing blocks at each other when Namjoon and Hobi entered the living room.  Tae was nowhere to be found, and Namji was watching the 2-year-olds throw blocks at each other while considering whether or not to stop them.

“What are you two doing?” Namjoon asked as he set Hyungmin on the floor.  The tiny baby was quick to scoot across the floor towards the blocks.

“We throwin’ blocks,” Junseo responded.

“It’s block fight!” Xia exclaimed.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea when we’re by the tree,” Hobi commented.

“But throwin’ blocks is fun…” Xia whined.

“Yeah, I know.  But you don’t want to knock something off the tree, do you?  That would be no good.”

The two toddlers pouted up at Hobi.  He sighed.

“You can go have a block fight in the playroom, but not out here.”

“Ok…” they both responded at the same time.  They quickly gathered their ammunition and headed back to the playroom.

“Hopefully that will hold them off until lunch,” Namjoon chuckled.

“Yeah, hopefully.”
