"It was Kookie's idea, but I don't want to do it if it will bring great hardship on you, Yoongi." I said quietly so the boys couldn't hear me.

"No, I have thought about it myself. Jimin loves cats a lot so I know he would love a kitten. I can't believe Kookie's not asking for one for himself." Yoongi replied, sipping his coffee.

"I am too, actually. I planned on getting him one as a surprise too, but I think I am actually leaning more toward a puppy. He seems to go to mush at the sight of them, even out of headspace." I chuckled.

"Wow, Jiminie is gonna flip." Hobi laughed, smiling at the boys' squeals of laughter.

"How did you want to do this?" Yoongi asked, keeping an eye on Jimin.

"Maybe when we come for his party on Friday, we can get him distracted and I can sneak the kitten upstairs. Then we can bring it down when it is time for presents." I suggested, shrugging.

"That sounds like a good idea." Namjoon agreed, ruffling Jin's hair.

"You know he is going to cry, right?" Jin said, giggling at the thought.

"Hurry! He's in the kitchen with the boys!" Yoongi whispered as I rushed through the front door. I ran upstairs with the carrier and the box I would later put it in to give Jimin.

"Noona!" Jiminie squealed as I came down the stairs to be swarmed in a hug.

"Hey buddy! Happy birthday!" I said, squeezing him before giving him a kiss on the forehead.

"Thank you! I glad you coming to my party! Did you see the big cake?" he asked, ushering me to the kitchen where the rest of the guys were all standing in awe around the pretty cake.

"That is so nice, Jiminie! Your daddy did such a good job!" I replied, giving Yoongi a grin.

"Mommy! When we gonna give Jiminie his presents?" Kookie asked, running up to me. I swear I had to remind him twenty times that Jimin didn't know about the kitten so he had to keep it a secret. I was so afraid he would blow it in a moment of excitement.

"Can I has presents now?" Jiminie asked, looking at Yoongi with big eyes.

"Sure, baby boy. " Yoongi replied, giving him a peck on the cheek. We all congregated in the living room as everyone gave out their presents, making Jimin squeal and thank everyone over and over.

"Ok, Kookie and I have to run upstairs to get your present, but we will be right back." I said, grabbing Kookie's hand. He giggled as we rushed up the stairs and entered the guest room.

"Mommy, she still sleeping." he said softly as we snuck up on the curled up kitten.

"We have to put her in the box and walk really slowly down the stairs so we don't wake her up. Now I will carry her down the stairs and when we get to the bottom, I will hand the box to you and you go give her to Jiminie, ok?" I said, picking up the little gray ball of fluff.

"Ok, I be really careful." he said as he pet her head. I placed her in the box and put the lid on before standing up. We had been very careful to pick the design of the wrapping paper too, that way we could poke holes in the box without him noticing. I slowly made my way down the stairs, followed by a giggling Kookie. When we reached the bottom, I handed him the box very slowly. He made me choke back a giggle of my own as he stuck his tongue out in concentration, walking so slow he was almost tiptoeing.

"Happy birthday, Jimine!" Kookie said, putting the box in front of Jimin. He grinned and as he lifted the lid, he immediately started crying, covering his face.

"Uh oh! Why you crying Jiminie?" Taetae asked, his eyes wide.

"Awwww, I not meant to make Jiminie cry!" Kookie said, his face twisted in concern.

"It's ok. Jiminie is just happy, right? You like Kookie's present to you, baby?" Yoongi asked, rubbing Jimin's back. He nodded, still sniffling as he lifted the tiny kitten out of the box and cradling it in his arms.

"It's a baby kitty!" Jinnie grinned, pointing at the sleepy kitten curled up in Jimin's arms.

"You like her?" Kookie asked, still concerned at Jimin's tears.

"I love her!" Jimin responded, burying his tear stained face in the kitten's fur. Everyone awed at the sight, making Yoongi chuckle.

"Daddy, she so pretty!" Tae said, smiling.

"She is!" Hoseok agreed, squeezing Tae to him.

"Thank you! I love her forever." Jimin said, looking up at Kookie.

"I glad you happy, Jiminie." Kookie grinned ear to ear. I couldn't help but grin myself, knowing what was waiting for Kookie tomorrow.

"Mommy, why I gots to close my eyes?" Kookie asked, huffing slightly as he sat on the floor in the living room with his legs crossed.

"Because, it's a surprise. Now, promise me you will keep them closed until I say." I called from the kitchen where I held the fluffy puppy I knew would bring him to happy tears.

"I promise." he groaned, making me chuckle. I peeked out to see him sitting there with both hands over his eyes, chewing on his lip nervously. I tiptoed over and sat the puppy on the carpet in front of him and stepping back quickly.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now baby." I replied. When he opened his eyes he looked down as his face scrunched up in the happiest and saddest smile at the same time.

"Mommy, you gotted me a puppy?" he asked, running his fingers softly over the puppy's head.

"Yes, baby, he is yours." I smiled, as tears streamed down his face. He picked up the puppy and cradled him in one arm as he stood and rushed over to me.

"You too nice to me." he sobbed, a smile still plastered on his face. The puppy climbed up his chest a little and licked the tears falling down his cheeks, making him giggle and sniffle.

"You deserve it, baby boy. You are my sweet prince and I want you to have everything to make you happy." I replied, running my hand through his hair.

"Thank you, Mommy. He so cute and fluffy and tiny!" he said, petting the dog softly as it continued to lick his cheek.

"I knew you would love him. I'm glad I can make you happy, baby boy." I said, kissing his forehead.

"You maked me the happiest ever." he replied, leaning over and kissing my cheek several times. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing with the puppy on the floor until they both passed out curled up together next to the couch. I snapped a picture and sent it to everyone, unable to keep from spreading the joy that he had brought to my life.
