here. "Gosh, what kind of father sleeps when their new baby enters the world."
"Don't be mean, Minho, he was up for three days waiting, I'll wake him up," Taemin plops down next to the drooling face that is Jonghyun and whispers something in his ears.
Jonghyun's eyes open wide and scary. "Triplets!?"
Taemin chuckles, "No, you just have a healthy baby boy."
"Damn you, Taemin," Jonghyun glares at the youngest boy before getting off the seat, "wait, what!? The baby's out already?" Before Minho could offer a sarcastic answer, Jonghyun bolts furiously into the hospital room where his heart settles as he stares at the image of Key holding their bundle of joy in a blanket. Jonghyun saves the image in his mind before opening his mouth.
"Let's hope your dad doesn't sleep through anything else important," Key jokes before Jonghyun manages to articulate anything.
"It's okay, we recorded the whole thing for you to watch later," Key's dad says facing the camera to a still frozen Jonghyun, "and that is the baby's oaf of a father, Kim Jonghyun."
"I took pictures!" Key's mom chimes in snapping a pic of a still unresponsive Jonghyun.

The happy couple are discharged from the hospital with their newborn baby. Well, for the most part.
"Dad, Mom! I can't believe you guys took pictures, let alone recorded, the C-section!" Key whines as they get into his parents' car.
"Oh, Key, dear," his mom began, "trust me, once that boy hits puberty and starts making you wonder if he actually is your child, these videos and pictures will remind you that you definitely gave birth to that little monster." Key's mom lets out an almost evil, but knowing, laugh.
"I still can't believe you weren't there," Key decides he can't win and turns his attention to Jonghyun.
"I'm sorry! But what was I supposed to do anyway? Hold your hand while you were knocked out cold watching as they cut your belly open?" This earns Jonghyun a hard slap courtesy of Key.
"You're lucky our baby has half of my genes, or else God knows what!"
Jonghyun cuddles next to Key and Key decides all this negative energy isn't good for the baby and returns the cuddle with a kiss.
"Sorry, baby," Jonghyun apologizes, "oh, and you too, Key." This earns Jonghyun another slap.

"BABY!" Taemin shrills as Jonghyun and Key walk through the doors of the apartment, baby in hand. Minho and Onew gather around as well giggling as the baby latches on to their outstretched fingers.
"Group picture!" Key's mom snaps a photo of the five boys with the baby as Key's dad focuses the video camera on the excited boys. Key is convinced his parents must have bought the largest memory cards they could get their hands on.
"What's his name?" Onew asks still playing with the baby's hands.
"Hyunki!" Jonghyun announces proudly and Onew doesn't have to guess who named him.
"It means a combination of wisdom and foundation," Key explains, "and Mr. Genius here wanted our son to have a combination of our names."
"Why must you tease your baby's daddy," Jonghyun pouts.
"'Cause you say stuff like 'baby's daddy,'" Key rolls his eyes setting the baby down into the crib.
"I know you love it, I believe I was talking like that when our son was conceived-"
Key's cheeks flush as he slaps his hand onto Jonghyun's big mouth and gives a warning stare, flicking his eyes in the direction of his parents who were still in the room listening to every word and back to Jonghyun who just nods in surrender.
"Heh, sorry," Jonghyun apologizes rubbing the back of his head.

"Key! Key! The baby is doing something!"
"What now? It's your turn and I'm still doing everything!" Key sighs heavily as he picks himself off of the comfort of the couch and stomps in the direction of the nursery.
"Oh God, Jonghyun, Hyunki is just bobbing his head," Key is on the verge of crying from all the stress, "it just looks weird 'cause his body is still getting used to not being in a fluid filled sac."
"Oh, hey Key wait! Before you leave look!" Jonghyun points to a hamster feeder he placed into the crib, "the doctor said we should encourage his activity, so I put a feeder that way he learns to crawl if he wants to drink."
Key flings his arms up in defeat and stomps out of the room madder than when he came in.

"Come on Hyunki, catch up," Jonghyun yells looking down at his son running and giggling behind him. Jonghyun can only smile. He's been smiling since the day his son was born a little over a year ago and he still can't manage to do anything but smile even now whenever he sees the little boy.
Running turns into tumbling on the grass and more giggling. Feeling a bit guilty, Jonghyun lifts his son onto his shoulders before he continues running, much to Hyunki's excitement.
"Hey, come on, the food's ready," Key yells from atop the hill.
"You ready?" Jonghyun asks and Hyunki can only start jumping on his father's shoulders with his hands flapping wildly in the air. "Okay then, here we go!"
Key meets the two halfway down the hill to pick Hyunki off Jonghyun's shoulders as he plants a kiss on Jonghyun's lips. Jonghyun gives a goofy smile as if he hadn't been kissed before and Key laughs under his breath. The three of them hold hands as they make their way to the picnic set up under the shade of a tree to start their dinner after a long day.

"He's asleep," Jonghyun says with Hyunki in his arms and Key resting his head on his shoulders, "he'll miss the sunset."
"It's okay, we can still enjoy it," Key offers. Jonghyun plants a kiss on Key's forehead.
"Hey, Jonghyun."
"Yeah?"
"This past year was crazy," Key says as he interlocks his fingers with Jonghyun's, "which was mostly your fault. But, I'm glad you're Hyunki's father."
"Me too," Jonghyun tightens his grip on Key's hand before giving him another kiss, "I know I don't know a whole lot about caring for a baby, but you know I'll do anything for you two."
Key began to drift off to sleep but not without a satisfied smile on his lips. Jonghyun lay his head on Key's and stared at the glowing sun before them. He watched as it slowly descended, giving the sky to the peaceful night.
Jonghyun watched breathlessly at the sight and looked at his two slumbering boys before whispering the words, "I love you," to them both.
