"Sorry about earlier." Hoseok said, chewing on his lip.

"It's ok." I responded simply, watching the boys all play with one another, all except Jimin. He woke up in big space this morning and hadn't gone back into little space yet.

"So....what was uh....yeah what was that? Did you guys finally have your first close moments?" he asked, laughing. I shook my head and couldn't hide the grin.

" We did, but not how I was initially imagining it. When he woke up, he was not in headspace. He asked me out and you saw what was happening when you opened the door. But I guess the embarrassment sent him into headspace. Then he started crying about how it hurt and I kinda helped him out after he wouldn't stop whining." I replied, not wanting to look at him.

"Something similar happened with Taetae and I. I'm glad you guys are gonna go out on a date though! That is awesome!" Hoseok smiled, elbowing me.

"Yeah, me too. I'm nervous, and I don't know why." I said, biting my thumb nail.

"Cause it's a big thing. If you are like me, I was afraid of the dynamic of our little and caregiver relationship changing if we didn't work out in a romantic relationship." Hoseok replied, as he looked out at the playing boys with a huge smile on his face.

"I guess that could be it." I responded.

"Jimin, it's nice to meet big you, by the way." I said, smiling at him. He was cuddled with Yoongi on the couch, his head rested on Yoongi's shoulder.

"You too, Noona. I have to say, it thrills me to see Kookie like this. I don't know if I've ever seen him happier." Jimin replied, smiling big at me, his eyes almost disappearing.

"I am glad I can make him so happy. He really is a sweetheart." I said, putting my hand on my chest.

"He is. He is usually the most well behaved out of all of us. I am sure it has something to do with since he is the youngest."Jimin responded, smiling at Kookie. The boys played for a while until they all started wearing themselves out and it was getting close to nap time.

"I think that means it's time to go home now." Namjoon said, kissing Jinnie on the forehead.

"Nooooo!" all three littles said in unison.

"We will let you all play again soon babies. We were talking about going to the park if you all behave yourselves, later on this week." Yoongi said, looking around at all the pouting littles.

"Ok." they said in a sullen tone. Kookie came running over and wrapping his arms around me. It was amazing to me how he still felt so comforted when we were both standing, since he was a little taller than I was.

"Hey baby boy. Do you think you would be ok if we stopped by the store on the way home? We need a few things." I said, ruffling his hair.

"Mhm." he smiled. We all said goodbye and I loaded our overnight bags into the car.

"Baby, do you need to potty before we leave?" I asked, before we walked out the front door.

"No, I good." he smiled, holding his bunny in one arm.

"Now are you sure? We have to go to the store before we go home and if you have to potty there, Mommy can't go in with you." I said, looking at him with a serious eye. He looked serious for a moment before nodding.

"I better go." he mumbled. I walked with him to the bathroom and helped him with his shorts and briefs, letting him use the toilet again. When he finished he turned around and faced me, smiling.

"All done!" he grinned.

"That's my good boy." I smiled, squatting down. As I shimmied his briefs up, I couldn't help but notice his dick start to harden. I looked up at him to see him staring down at him, his lips parted slightly. I ignored it and pulled his briefs up, followed by his shorts, buttoning and zipping them. As I pulled the zipper up, I could feel the hardening shaft underneath the surface of his pants.

"Mommy." he whined as I stood up, looking up at me with big eyes.

"What is it, baby boy?" I asked softly, turning on the water for him to wash his hands.

"I not comfy." he said, shifting slightly.

"I am sorry sweetie. I tell you what, if you are a good boy for me and help me with all the shopping, I will get you a reward." I smiled, trying to get his mind off of whatever had him getting excited. He gasped and turned to face me as I shut the water off.

"I gets a reward?" he asked, his eyes wide.

"Yes, but only if you are a good boy the WHOLE time we shop, ok?" I asked, wiping his hands off on the towel.

"I be the bestest boy ever!" he grinned, picking his bunny back up. I offered him my hand and he held it tightly in his as we walked out of the bathroom.

"Bye Uncle Yoongi, by Jiminie hyung!!" he waved as we walked out the open front door.

"Bye bye! We will see you later!" Jimin waved back. We loaded into the car and drove to the market down the street from our house. Thankfully it didn't seem busy, making this trip a little easier. I hadn't been out shopping with Jungkook when he was little yet, and I just hoped he behaved himself. I parked and grabbed a shopping cart, having him hold on to it as we walked through the store. He was mainly quiet, looking around at everything with big eyes.

"What would you like to have as a reward, baby? You have been so good." I said, putting my hand over his.

"Ummmmm can I has a new stuffie?" he asked, his eyes looking hopeful.

"Yes, prince, you can have a new stuffie." I smiled. He gasped and squealed, wrapping his arms around me, hugging me tightly.

"My mommy is the bestest!" he squealed, giggling as he let go of me. I got an odd look from an older man nearby, but I ignored it. He was my sweet Kookie, and I wasn't going to let any odd looks from strangers bother me. I held his hand and put it on the cart as we made our way to the toy section. I let him go down the isle ahead of me until he reached the section that made his eyes look like saucers. He grabbed two and looked back and forth, deciding between a Pusheen and a Molang stuffie.

"Having trouble deciding, Kookie?" I asked, as he scrunched his forehead.

"Mhm." he nodded, not taking his eyes off of the toys in his hands. He looked like he was seriously weighing the options, making my heart melt at his innocence.

"How about we get both?" I smiled, waiting to see his reaction. He gasped and looked at me, his eyes wide and glimmering with hope.

"I can has both?" he asked, curling them both in his arms, close to his chest.

"Yes, baby boy, you can have both." I smiled. He ran over to me and almost tackled me to the floor as he gave me a big kiss on the cheek.

"Mommy the bestest EVER!!" he squealed loudly, giggling and hugging his stuffies close. We went to the register after that, and I had to coax him to let the cashier have his stuffies long enough to ring them up. I handed them to him after she finished as he hugged them close.

"What's wrong with him? Is he retarded or something?" I heard a voice say behind us. I handed the cashier the money and looked over at the man who had given us weird looks earlier, staring daggers at him.

"Nothing is wrong with him. He is perfectly normal." I said, hoping Jungkook wasn't paying attention.

"Then what's his problem?" The man asked, setting his stuff on the belt. I loaded the last of the bags into the cart, giving him a dirty look.

"The only one with a problem here is me. I have a problem with your attitude and I suggest you keep your mouth shut next time you want to make uneducated comments to a total stranger." I said in a low voice.

"It's not my fault your boyfriend is a fuckin' weirdo. You should keep freaks like that at home." he muttered as we started to walk away.

"Kookie, baby, cover your ears." I said, softly. He put his stuffies inside the cart and put both hands over his ears, looking down at the floor.

"Listen here you fucking piece of shit. There is not a goddamn thing wrong with him. Next time, think twice about leaving your house if you are going to be such a close-minded, inbred cunt!" I growled, clenching my fists. He stood there with his eyes wide, his mouth hanging open.

"Y-you're just gonna let her talk to me like that?" the man stuttered, looking at the cashier.

"Don't bring her into this. What, you afraid to fight your own battles and are looking for help from a young girl? You are lucky I didn't come over there and shove my foot up your twat." I snarled. I took Jungkook's hand off of his ear and held it until we made it to the parking lot. I sat him in the front seat with a sigh, buckling him and going to hand him his new stuffies. He shook his head and played with his hands as he looked at his lap. Fuck, he must have heard that man. I loaded the groceries in the car and drove home, hoping he would be in a better mood by time we got there.
