Chapter 177 - Home Day

"Are you sure you got all the dirt diapers?" I asked Shiwoo as I sat in the wheel chair waiting for him to push me and Ji Ah out to the entrance.

"Yeah I've got them. For such a small human she sure does poop and pee a lot."

"She's healthy, and if she didn't poop then we would still be here. I thought that we would have been out yesterday." I said as he came to gently wheel us out.

"Yeah me too, but we are finally going home so let's celebrate."

"Cheers to more dirty diapers, and waking up late at night to crying." I said and he groaned. This is exactly what he signed up for.

We shortly arrived at the entrance where everyone was waiting with flowers, gifts and balloons.

"Yay she finally gets to go home!" exclaimed Adriel as she ran up to us.

"Hi baby. I've missed you."

I handed the baby to Lia and she buckled her and the twins into their car seat as Minjae helped me to the passenger's side of Shiwoo's car.

They were throwing a small welcome home part at our house, with a few co-workers and family members and friends, and I was so excited to.

Shiwoo then came back from inside the hospital with our remaining bags and we were off to our home.

Shiwoo carried Ji Ah in since I still needed a little help up the steps, and didn't want to risk hurting Ji Ah.

"Are you okay?" he asked as I stood on the steps and I nodded looking up and the journey.

"Yeah. Let's go. I'm hungry"

Minjae then shortly arrived, and Lia ran to my side to help me as Minjae carried the kids.

"This is a really beautiful home Tally." she said and I scoffed playfully rolling my eyes.

"Oh please as if you haven't been here already."

"I know." she said and I shook my head.

Lia was over here very chance that she got, not only yo help me, but to spy on my neighbors to see if they were famous, and if she knew them.

She did ran into one her favorite dramastar one day, and I had to remind her how to breathe at how star struck she was. I too had been fangirling on the inside for he was so handsome, and he was actually right in front of me, and not on T.V, but I had to be the rational one, and play it cool.

She had been coming over even more ever since, but we haven't been very lucky to run into him again.

He was probably shooting a new drama that's why.

"Welcome home!" screamed our guests when we finally opened the door, popping party poppers, and throwing confetti.

"Hello guys. It is good to see you."

They pulled me in to hugs after hugs as they congratulated me, and they gushed over Ji Ah who was still sleeping.

I don't blame her. It's not she was sleeping in my tummy for nine months, and even missed her due date due to sleeping. No she was busy working, so that's why she was tired.

"Atalia come eat." said eomma from the kitchen, and I waddled over excited for I was really hungry, but my excitement faded when I saw what it was.

"Seaweed soup again? Eomma come on."

"No whining. Eat up it's good for you.You need to be healthy and recover for the baby. Shiwoo will make sure that you eat this everyday for at least a month got it?"

"Okay." I said pouting as she handed me a spoon, and I took a seat sighing.

And here I thought I was getting chickens, heck I'd even eat some chocolate right now.

I was already tired of seaweed soup, for it was all I've been eating since Ji Ah was born two days ago.

I know that it was tradition for a postpartum meal, but couldn't I at least have some chicken.

"Hey" said Shiwoo coming into the kitchen taking a seat next to me smiling.

"Oh now you remember me?"

"Aww come on princess. Don't be like that." he said pinching my cheeks and I pouted.

"But you said that when they baby is born, you wont give her all you attention, and forget about me."

"I know I know, but she is still new here. I have to show her the ropes you know." he said and I chuckled.

"Fine, but you have first duty tonight. I have to finish this soup."

"Open up. Eomma told me to make sure that you ate. We cant have your health diminishing." he said sliding the bowl towards him, as he took the spoon from my hand.

A bowl of seaweed soup and a bowl of rice, and a party later, it was now night time, and bath time.

"We'll visit and baby sit as much as we can okay. Don't be afraid to call us. We are always here." said Lia at the door, as we gave them one last hug.

"Drive safe okay. Text me when you get home.

"I will. Love you. Bye!" she said waving and I waved back.

"Love you too. Bye!"

"Well that's that." said Shiwoo sighing as he closed the door.

"Yeah, now we have to clean up."

"I'll do the cleaning. You can go get the bath started for the kids and I'll join you." he said and I nodded walking to the Adriel's room where the twins were.

"Let's go monsters. Its bath time." 

"Mommy can the baby come in the bath with us?" asked Adrian and I chuckled.

"I am afraid not baby. Not until she is old enough to sit."

"Well when is that?" he asked and I thought about.

"Mmm maybe nine months from now she will be able to play shark with you guys, but you guys will have to be gentle."

"Okay." he said excitedly and I smiled remembering something.

"Who is turning three in two weeks?"

Adrian looked at Adriel shrugging, and she shrugged as well, "I don't know. Appa?"

"He is not turning three Adrian. He is old." said Adriel, and I began to cackle, but quickly covered it up with a cough.

"*Coughs*  I mean no baby. Daddy is not turning three. It is also his birthday, but you guys are turning three. Aren't you guys excited!"

"Yay!" they exclaimed in the tub splashing around and I smiled.

"What do you guys want for your birthday?"

"I want a pony." said Adriel.

"I want a race car." said Adrian.

"Umm dial it back a second Adri. A pony?" I asked a little shocked and she nodded franticly.

"A pony a pony a pony! I want a my little pony!"

"Oh you mean like the toy? Yeah we can get that."

"No mommy I want a real pony!"

"A real pony?" asked Shiwoo as he stepped into the bathroom, and I exhaled in relief, "anything for my princess."

My mouth widened at how easily he gave in even though we promised not t spoil our kids, but he just shrugged as Adriel screamed in excitement, "yay I'm getting a pony! I'm getting a pony."

I shook my head at Shiwoo as I glared at him disappointed, and he knew that I was so he avoided my gaze.

"Okay you're all wrinkly. It's time for bed."

"Aww." they said pouting as I took them out, and dried them off.

I then went to the nursey as Shiwoo got them dressed and I fed Ji Ah, before wiping her clean, and put her to bed.

Shiwoo met me at the door on my way out, and I scoffed trying to step past him, by he held my waist, and puled me into a back hug, "come on babe don't be mad."

"How could I not be mad? We promised not to spoil the kids, and to let them understand the importance of a dollar, and here you are promising to buy ponies."

"I didn't say that I was going to buy one. We can just have a petting zoo at the party, and introduce her to it. She is young and might even be startled and will never ask for a pony again. See. Simple."

"Hmm" I said, "fine, but what are you going to do about your son? He wants a race car."

"Then we rent race cars his size and have it at the party. They are kids. Their interest are always changing. Now can we go to our room? I finally have you all to my self." he said placing a kiss on my neck and I sighed.

"The doctor said no sex for a six weeks. We can't. Plus we have to stay alert for Ji Ah, and I'm wearing a diaper."

"Who said anything about sex?" he said placing another kiss and I rose my brow confused.

"If not sex then what?"

"Quality time to plan our wedding. You still want to marry me right?" he asked and I laughed.

"Of course I do silly. I just forgot, but I have been looking at a color scheme, and I have been planning our honey moon."

"Nice." he said as we walked to our room.

"Any venue ideas?"

"It doesn't really matter. Just as long as you're there." he said being all sappy.

"Aww, but the venue does matter babe. It is our wedding, and it is expected to be magnificent. I hope you have your coffee for we are about to brain storm."

"You are my coffee." he said and I playfully rolled my eyes trying not to blush.

"Again with the cheesy lines? Who even are you?"

"Nothing without you." he said teasing this time.

"Ughh that's it!" 

I threw a pillow at his face and he laughed quickly dodging it, and I threw more as he made his way over to me, until he held my hand pinning me against the head board, smirking deviously as he licked his lips looking down at me, "hi."

"Hi."

I have to admit.

Even though he has done this countless times before, I still blush and get flustered.

I darted my tongue out as I swiped it across my bottom lip and his lips slightly parted as he watched my every move, and as he dipped his head about to claim my lips, Ji Ah began to cry and he sighed.

I smirked as he unpinned my arms, and ran to her room, and I yelled, "welcome to the early days of parenthood. Get used to it!"

I chuckled as I went under the covers preparing myself for a nap for it was my shirt next.

That thankfully didn't happen until three hours later, and I walked like a zombie to her room as I fed her and put her back to sleep.

We went back and forth like that through out the entire night, that we looked dead the next morning.

"How did you do it with two?" he asked as he made breakfast and I shrugged.

"I'm a mom. I'm automatically super."

"Amen to that." he said as he sipped his coffee and I chuckled eating my soup.

Amen to that indeed.
