"Boys! Noona has a surprise for you!" Namjoon called up the stairs.

"A surprise?!" we heard them all squeal, followed by the thundering of footsteps. I had to giggle as I watched Kookie run for about the first two steps and then slow down to a walk.

"Thank you for not running, Kookie. That was very good." I smiled as he made it to the bottom of the stairs.

"I membered I not apposed to run down the stairs." he said, giving me a smile.

"What's the surprise, Noona?" Jinnie asked, looking around the living room.

"I don't know, why don't you boys go in the kitchen and see?" I asked, shrugging. They all ran into the kitchen where a large platter of warm cookies waited with four cups of milk on the counter in Kookie's favorite superhero cups.

"We gets cookies!!!" Tae shouted, making us laugh.

"What do you all say to Noona?" Yoongi asked as the boys all grabbed a cookie and a cup.

"Thank you, Noona!" they all said together, save for Kookie's "mommy".

"I made enough for everyone, guys. Help yourselves." I laughed as I noticed all the caregivers standing back away from the island.

"Thanks!" Hoseok smiled, taking a cookie.

"Damn, I forgot how good your baking is!" Namjoon said, humming in contentment as he chewed the warm cookie.

"Daddy! You said a bad word!" Jinnie scolded.

"I'm sorry, baby boy. I did say a bad word. That wasn't nice of me, but Noona knows I wasn't angry or meant it in a bad way, right?" he asked, looking over at me with a smirk of amusement at Jin's concern. I nodded and Jin nodded back as he turned around and grabbed another cookie. By time everyone finished eating, the littles were all almost bouncing off the walls.

"Daddy, can we play outside?" Jiminie asked as Yoongi wiped some of the smeared chocolate off of his face.

"As long as everyone is ok with it, of course you can baby." he said, giving Jimin a little kiss on the lips. Hoseok and Namjoon both gave the ok as Kookie came over me smiling away.

"You can play outside, just don't go outside the fence in the backyard." I said, tickling at his sides for a second, just so I could hear his giggle.

"Thank you, Mommy!" he replied as they all ran out back.

"It's a nice day out if you guys want to go sit on the patio so we can keep an eye on them." I suggested, shrugging.

"Sure, why not!" Hoseok said, following all the boys outside. We sat out there for a while, watching them play different games and eventually just laying in the grass, seeing what shapes they could see in the clouds. I slipped my phone out of my pocket and took a picture of them all laying there together, unable to keep from almost gushing over the sweetness of their innocent shouts and giggles.

"So, how long have you and Tae been together?" I asked Hoseok who looked as happy as I felt.

"Almost two years now." he said, letting out a soft sigh.

"What about you and Jimin, Yoongi?" I asked next.

"A little over two and a half years. Best years of my life." he replied, breaking out a big gummy smile as we heard Jimin giggling over something.

"I can't believe it's been three years for me and Jin. But like Yoongi said, best years of my life. I wouldn't change a thing. Well, maybe one." Namjoon said, letting out a sigh.

"Oh really? What's that?" I asked curiously.

"I've been thinking a lot about marriage lately." he said quietly, so no one could hear.

"Seriously?! That's great!" Hoseok shouted, as Namjoon shot him a glare.

"Keep it down!" he whispered, making Hobi grin and cover his mouth.

"Sorry, it's just really exciting!" He said, his voice much quieter now.

"I couldn't really see you with anyone else." I replied, grinning ear to ear at the thought of Jin's reaction to marriage.

"I really couldn't either. He is my everything." Namjoon said, putting his hand on his chest.

"Got any plans layed out yet?" Yoongi asked.

"Nothing yet. Like, Jin and I have made mention of spending our lives together and maybe one day getting married, but I really feel that time is here. I am ready." he answered. Before anyone could say anything further, Kookie was running up to us, smiling sweetly yet a little shyly.

"Mommy, can I ask you a question?" he asked, standing in front of me playing with his hands.

"Of course!" I smiled, holding his hands in mine.

"Can ummmm...." he trailed off, a shy look coming over his face.

"It's ok baby, what is it?" I asked, giving him a smile and patting the spot beside me on the patio seat. He sat down next to me and scooted close.

"Um, can Jiminie and Taetae and Jinnie sleepover?" he asked quietly. I looked out to see all three littles sitting up now in the grass all staring in our direction.

"That is alright with me, Kookie, but it's up to your uncles." I answered. His eyes got hopeful for a second as he jumped off of the chair.

"Oh can they pretty please??" he asked, lacing his fingers together.

"Kookie, since when have I ever been able to say no to you before? Of course, if Jimin wants, he can spend the night." Yoongi answered, smiling at Kookie's level of escalating excitement.

"Noona, do you think you will be ok with all four of them on your own?" Namjoon asked, raising his eyebrow.

"I think she will. She did it when we were all sick. I mean, we were there but not really. I'm fine with Tae staying if he wants to." Hoseok giggled. Kookie went and stood directly in front of Namjoon, looking like he could burst from excitement. Namjoon chuckled and shook his head.

"Yes, Jinnie can stay." Namjoon said. Kookie squealed and started hugging each of them before running out to the rest of them.

"YOU GETS TO SLEEP OVER!!" Kookie exclaimed as he reached the others. That was met with more shouts and giggles of excitement.

"You sure you got this?" Namjoon asked.

"She does, Joon, stop worrying. They behaved really well for her, I think it will be fine. Plus, it's not like we live far away or are unreachable if something does happen." Hoseok responded, leaning back in his chair. It was not but a few seconds before we were all swamped with our boyfriends, thanking us over and over again.

"Mommy, you really are the bestest." Kookie said, leaning his forehead against my shoulder.

"Only cause I have the best prince I could ever ask for. Now remember for me, since I won't have any daddies here to help me tonight, I may have to give some attention to Jinnie and Jiminie and Tae. But you are still my one and only baby boy." I said, kissing the top of his head. I wanted to make sure I did everything I could to keep him as happy as I possibly could.

"Ok Mommy. I love you." he said, kissing my cheek.

"I love too." I said, kissing him back. All I could hope and pray for is that tonight went smoothly, and that everyone stayed happy.
