Yujun’s POV

Jaehyun’s angry grunt as he rolls out of the bed wakes me up.

Maybe having a second pup too soon was a bad idea...no, it’s not, seeing Haeri blabber to everyone about her little Binnie means the world to me.

I just know she would be the best big sister to him.

"The Lord is asleep, get lost" my husband’s rough voice says, "oh, I’m sorry for the intrusion sir, the clan just wanted to send their love" the person he’s talking to replies and I chuckle quietly.

"Tell them he’ll be out to receive it soon, for now, he needs to get lots of rest and recovery time" my alpha says, I can imagine the exhausted and unimpressed look on his face as he responds.

"Yes, thank you sir" the visitor says and I hear the sound of footsteps leaving.

"Who was that?" I ask from the bed, awake but exhausted and still sleepy, Haeri kept us up through the night, the little girl has started teething.

"Nothing too important" Jaehyun says as he returns to bed and sits on the edge, one of his hands brushes hair out of my face and he leans in to kiss my forehead, "you’re okay?" he asks.

"Hmm...how’s Soobin?" I ask while burrowing into the sheets and he yawns before responding, "he’s okay, he’s with mom and Haeri is with dad" he says and lays next to me.

The alpha climbs into the bed and releases his scent for me to get wrapped up in as he hold me in a cozy hug, "you know you can sleep a bit more" he says and I sigh, I can’t just go back to sleep.

My mind is thinking about work and my body is on watch for that little boy.

Our son is weaker than his sister, after the scare of not crying in the labour room that first day, he has been the most quiet baby I have ever seen.

My pups are completely different from each other, while Haeri lives for shaking up the entire clan, Soobin barely makes noise, he’s already a week old and he still doesn’t bother us or anyone by crying.

"Soobin is just so quiet, it bothers me" I confess and press into his sturdy chest, "it’s because we’re used to Haeri silly loudness" he says and rubs his hand up and down my back.

It’s true, we are used to Haeri’s loudness and are new to Soobin’s silence.

"Let’s go see him, I miss him already" I say and tap Jaehyun’s shoulder once before getting out of the bed, my alpha drags himself out too and follows me to the nursery.

As we approach the nursery, we find Yeon mom leaving, and he smiles at us warmly.

"Well well well, I was just about to get his bottle" he says and I say a small o, "I can try to feed him" I say and Yeon mom smiles at me.

Soobin hasn’t been able to feed from me yet, and it breaks my heart every time I try to do it and it fails, I stopped trying after two days but now I’m ready to try again.

"Are you nervous?" Yeon mom asks and I nod truthfully, he takes my hand from Jaehyun’s and takes me into the nursery, "go in and meet your pup, I’ll be back" he says and leaves me.

Unlike Haeri, Soobin has a softer scent, he is barely noticeable in the room, but my omega whines softly with contained excitement, ready to see our youngest pup again.

I look over the cot and find him awake, the baby’s eyes are wide open as he looks up at me and my heart stops in my chest for a beat at his small face.

My boy is the most precious baby in the world.

"Hi my love" I greet as I brush my finger against his soft cheek and he follows the touch, turning his head slightly to the side and I giggle, he’s so cute.

"Jaehyun-ah" I call my alpha to help me take the baby out of the cot, holding a newborn still scares me, especially when it’s one that’s not as defiant as Haeri was.

"Hey son" Jaehyun says as he stands next to me and he reaches down to take our pup out of his cot, "mama came to feed you, you’ll be good and eat, right?" he says to the baby.

I take my seat in the rocking chair and my alpha places the baby in my arms, Soobin scrunches his face as I hold him, and my heart squeezes with his expression.

"Soobinie" I coo at him, preparing to breastfeed him and Yeon mom returns to the room with little Haeri pushing past her father and stopping at my knees.

"Mama?" she calls and I smile at her, "yes baby?" I respond.

"Binnie bite mama? Binnie?" she asks and tries to touch the baby but Jaehyun snatches her up in time, "yeah no, no touching, Binnie need eat" he says to her and Yeon shakes his head, "like father like daughter" he says under his breath and Jaehyun rolls his eyes.

"Here, hold him this way" Yeon mom says to me and assists me into holding Soobin the right way, the baby opens his mouth and lets out a small cry of discomfort that makes me nervous.

"It’s okay, here...see?" the older and experienced omega says as he helps us, and Soobin latches on to my nipple for the first time in days.

"Mom" I say in a small voice as I wince, the contact hurts, "is it supposed to hurt?" I ask him and Yeon keeps rubbing my back.

"It feels like that for the first time, but see...he’s feeding now" she says and I look down at my baby, he’s eating like he has been starved for days and I whimper out of sadness.

Did I fail my second child too?

Before I can think further, Jaehyun smiles brightly at me, "You’re doing amazing, I swear I owe you the world" he says and the inside of my chest warms up.

"I’ll check in later" Yeon mom says and ruffles his granddaughter’s hair before leaving us.

"How do you feel?" Jaehyun asks and I smile through the tears blurring my eyes, "proud" I say.

"I feel so proud, Jaehyun-ah, thank you for saving me" I say and he leans down to kiss me on the lips.

"Me too!" Haeri demands, making us laugh.

My family, my home.
