"Sweet prince, it's time to wake up." I said, running my hand back through his thick hair. He grumbled and smacked his lips a few times, wrinkling his forehead, before relaxing again into his pillow. I couldn't help but grin at his cuteness before bending over and kissing his lips softly.

"Baby boy, nap time is over, you need to wake up now." I said in a soothing voice. His eyes cracked open and a big grin spread across his face.

"Mmm Mommy!" He grunted in a sleepy voice, lifting his arms above his head. I chuckled and slid into bed next to him as he wrapped his arms around me and nuzzled into my neck.

"Did you have a good nap, sweetie?" I asked, kissing his forehead. He nodded and looked up at me, eyes still unfocused from sleep.

"I had dreams that Mommy and me went to the carnival and we winned a BIG stuffie." he giggled, smiling at me.

"Well, if you are a good boy, we can go to the amusement park this weekend." I said, placing a hand on his side. His shirt had ridden up in his sleep, exposing his tan and soft skin. I traced my fingers up and down his side, making him giggle and squirm slightly. He gasped suddenly and looked up at me with excited eyes.

"Mommy, is we supposed to go out tonight?" he asked, biting on his lip.

"Yes, baby. We are supposed to have a group date with all your Uncles. If you don't want to be big though, I won't make you." I said, nuzzling closer to him.

"I be big later. Right now I want you." he said, nuzzling into my chest. I couldn't help but smile as he snuggled closer to me. It seemed as though ever since the "hate" incident, and ensuing punishment, Kookie had been extra snuggly and cuddly to me. I think deep down, he still felt bad for saying what he did.

"Since we are going out later and our schedule is going to be different tonight, does my handsome prince want his bath now?" I asked, fluffing his hair.

"Only if Mommy takes a bath with me." he replied, letting out a soft sigh, a smile plastered on his face.

"Of course." I replied, kissing his forehead. He giggled and squeezed me tighter as I ran my fingers along his sides again, this time applying a little more pressure.

"Not too hard, Mommy. I gots to pee pee." he giggled, crossing his legs.

"I'm sorry baby. Why don't we get up and you go pee and then we will take a bath." I suggested. He nodded and leaned up, placing a semi-wet kiss against my cheek. He ran to his bathroom while I started the bath water in mine. I added extra bubbles and a bath bomb, filling the air with a sweet and fruity aroma.

"Mmmm smells good!" he said, coming in the room with his bottoms already off. We both finished undressing and got into the warm water, snuggling against one another.

"Mommy, where we goin tonight?" he asked, clapping his hands and making the bubbles fly all over.

"We are all going to a nice italian restaurant that your Uncle Joon picked out. He said it's special." I replied, running the washrag over Kookie's stomach.

"Can we gets pasta?" he asked, picking up my free hand with his. He played with my fingers, running his inbetween mine.

"Yes, we can get pasta." I replied, kissing behind his ear.

"If I really really good tonight, can I has big boy time when we gets home?" he asked, his voice very quiet.

"Of course. If you are good, we can have lots of big boy time when we come home. I will treat you very special." I said, kissing right next to his ear.

"I be extra good cause I want big boy time a lot." he replied, biting his lip. I wrapped my arms around him and started showering him with pecks, making him giggle and wiggle around.

"I love you, Kookie. Do you know how special and important you are to me?" I asked as I stared to wash his hair.

"I love you too, Mommy. I love you the mostest out of anyone ever!" he smiled, as he relaxed his face. I massaged his scalp and had him letting out little whines of appreciation as I finshed up and rinsed out his hair.

"I wants to wash Mommy's hair." he said, as he sat up and spun around to face me, water sloshing over the side of the tub.

"Alright, let's try not to cause a flood, baby. You can wash my hair, just be gentle." I replied, handing him the cup. He got up on his knees and had me tilt my head back. He poked his tongue out of his mouth in concentration as he carefully wet my hair, trying not to wet my face. As he started to lather my hair, his fingers were so incredibly light and gentle as he rubbed my head in circles. As he started to rinse my hair out, his hand slipped a little and sent soapy water down across my forehead and into my eyes.

"Oh!!! Oh no! Mommy, I sorry!" he worried, dropping the cup and wiping away as much of the water off of my forehead as he could.

"I'm alright, baby. Just hand me the corner of the hand towel up above you." I said, rubbing the corner of my eyes. He whimpered as he reached for it and gently placed it over my eyes. After cleaning my eyes off, I looked to see him sitting in the water with his knees drawn up to his chest, a pout plastered on his face.

"What's wrong, Kookie?" I asked, scooting closer.

"I hurted your eyes. Mommy you cried!" he said, looking at me, his own eyes becoming watery.

"No, baby I didn't cry. My eyes might look like it because the soap made them red but I'm ok. It's fine, sweetie, you did a good job." I said, leaning over and placing a soft kiss on his lips.

"You promise?" he asked, chewing on his lip.

"I promise. Now let me just rinse up a little more and we can get out and start getting dressed." I said, placing another soft kiss on his lips. After I rinsed off completely, I got out of the tub and wrapped my hair in a towel, followed by my body. I then opened Kookie's big fluffy yellow towel as he climbed out and leapt into my arms.

"Mommy, when do I gots to be big?" he asked as I wrapped him up like a burrito.

"If you want to be big when we are out, that is in a couple of hours. If you want to be big to pick out what to wear, then you can be big whenever you want." I said, as I started to dry off his hair with another towel.

"Ok, Mommy. I be big soon, promise." he smiled. I finished drying him off and wrapped his towel around his waist. He followed me into our walk in closet while I picked out what I was going to wear.

"Mommy...." he said really quietly. I turned to face him as I zipped up the back of the red cocktail dress I had slipped on.

"Yes, baby?" I asked, turning to face him. He played with the edge of his towel, his face bright pink as he looked down at his feet.

"You look really really pretty." he said, biting his lip. Oh my poor heart couldn't handle his cuteness.

"Thank you sweetie. Aww are you embarrassed saying that?" I asked, walking up to him and holding his cheeks in my hands. He nodded and turned even pinker as I kissed the tip of his nose.

"But you really pretty, Mommy. You maked me feel funny in my tummy and in my heart." he said, giving me the sweetest smile. I felt tears prick the corner of my eyes as I wrapped him up in a hug, his warm skin intoxicating me.

"I love you so much. You make me feel the same way, Kookie. " I replied, squeezing him tightly to me.

"Your heart and your tummy feel funny too?" he asked against my neck.

"They do baby. Always." I replied, leaning back and kissing his forehead.

"That maked me happy." He grinned letting out a soft sigh.

"Me too." I replied, giving him one more peck on the cheek. He followed me through back to my bathroom as I started to fix my hair and do my make up. I eventually got distracted by my routine that I didn't notice him go missing. It wasn't until I heard him grumbling from the bedroom that I noticed he wasn't there.

"Baby?" I called as I started walking into the room. As I walked in, I had to swallow my saliva at the sight in front of me.

"Wow..."I smiled, biting my lip. His head snapped up as he looked at me, a blush spreading across his cheeks.

"What, wow? I look ridiculous." he said, tucking in his shirt. I walked over slowly and gripped his tie, pulling him toward me slowly.

"Trust me, the last thing anyone would say, is that you look ridiuclous. You look so incredibly sexy." I responded, smiling at him.

"Do not." he said, trying to keep this smirk off of his face. I leaned in and placed a soft, slow kiss across his full lips. He kept his eyes closed as I pulled away, smiling at him.

"Do so." I replied, fixing his now crooked tie.

"I...I wanted to match you." he said, his face turning pinker again.

"I love it. Really, I do." I said, fixing the collar of his jacket as I smiled at him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his forehead against mine.

"I love you, baby." he said softly, a sweet smile across his face.

"I love you too, babe Now we better get going before I wind up making a mess of us." I giggled, placing a quick peck on his lips. He laughed and smacked my ass as he let go of me, making me yelp. I looked back at him and couldn't help but feel an overwhelming feeling of love and admiration for the man who had come to mean everything in my life.
