A/N:  My heart is so heavy right now.  I can't believe this is the official end of the story.  On the other hand I can, because I have been working on it for so long.

As of right now paternity predictions wise Tae and Hobi are tied.  But here are the tallies.

Namjoon - 3

Jin - 1

Yoongi - 3

Hobi - 4

Jimin - 3

Tae - 4

Jk - 2

February 24th and it's unseasonably warm. Which is fine by me since it's the twins' third birthday. We are all at home preparing for the party in a few hours. At the moment though, we are mostly waiting on Joshua to get home from school before we start preparing for our family to arrive. Sang Hee set off to pick him up about an hour ago so it should be any minute now.

I'm immediately at his side when I see him throw his backpack across the room. "Whoa! Let's be more careful with our things." Then I see how angry he seems, so I escort him to one of the couches and nonverbally insist that we sit together by putting a hand to his shoulder and directing him that way. "What's the matter, Joshie?"

He shrugs his shoulders, but I can still see 'the chip' there. Something is definitely still bothering him and making him a mixed amalgamation of angry and upset. Good thing he knows that I will sit here until he actually tells me what is going on. He can't simply shrug things off like they are nothing. "Kids at school. They are constantly making fun of me."

"Making fun of you or noticing your differences?" I ask calmly.

He shrugs his shoulders. Which makes me realize that he didn't think about comparing the two possibilities against each other, which makes me very thankful to have considered asking the question in the first place.

I probe him further when he doesn't offer anything else and simply sits in silence once more. "Are they saying mean things to you?"

"No, not really. They just like to point out my accent, hair color, and eye color a lot." He sits up a bit straighter, and I can see that he is realizing for himself what is going on.

I nod. "That's going to happen, Joshie. It definitely wasn't easy for me when I first got here." Then I start telling him an exceptionally tamed down version of what happened to me just before his arrival three years ago. "Do you know what the difference was between my situation and yours though?"

"My friends at school are just noticing how different we are. They don't dislike me because I am different."

I nod to him. "Exactly." I point at his backpack that is still laying on the floor. "Now, go pick that up and get changed for your sisters' birthday party."

The smile he sends my way immediately casts relief in my heart that I was able to talk that all out with him. Granted I couldn't be certain that one of the reasons that my kidnappers didn't like me was due to my race, but it was one of the explanations I had toyed with over the years.

I then go outside to where I know I can find my soulmates and locate my two youngest taking advantage of the unseasonably warm weather. Tae sits behind C.C. periodically tugging on the ends of her short, wild, red spirals as she once again builds another block tower. Her plump lips puckered in a pout. Her wide eyes halfway shutter close as she fully concentrates on placing each block for her new construction. When it falls down again instead of getting upset she claps her hands in happiness as if that was what she intended to do all along.

Iris skips off from one father to another. Her heart shaped smile is as wide as can be as a result of her actions. It's a game they play, because she just can't seem to sit still for too long. She pouts though when Namjoon skirts out of her way. Her dimples are coaxed out due to the expression, since they like to stay tucked away unless she is pouting or eating.

Yeah, it was quite obvious now who their biological fathers were at this point. Cecelia with her chubby cheeks and full lipped pout was most definitely Jimin's. Iris with her energy, heart-shaped smile, and pouty dimples is Hobi's. However, just like they promised none of them treat the girls differently and love them as if they were each their own.

I clear my throat. "I need to see the girls for a minute."

"Eomma!" "Mommy!" They use both languages interchangeably and when they start uttering Konglish, combining the two together I swear it is one of the cutest things in the world.

I take them upstairs to their room, which is decorated in several shades of purple and teal. They even had to have their own tent beds just like their big brother, because when they were still using cribs during nap time they insisted on sleeping with Joshie in the tent bed anyway.

I sigh as I contemplate doing this today once again. It concerned me for brief moments once more that doing this might overshadow their birthday a bit, but then I remember who my soulmates are and also what great fathers they are to not only the twins but Joshua as well. So, I take a deep breath and temporarily switched out the girls' current tops for the t-shirts I had recently ordered special made. One is written in Hangul and the other in English. Of course they are too young to read, but the message isn't really for them. The message is for their fathers.

Once we get back downstairs I set them back down outside and wait for the anticipated reactions. Many faces arch an eyebrow at the shirts then look up at me in confusion for a second before Tae gasps. "You're pregnant again?!?!?"

I mean It shouldn't be too much of a shock. I stopped taking my birth control about four months ago. So, unlike the twins this baby was planned, but I still find his reaction amusing. I giggle before nodding. The shirts both say 'Big Sister' on them. "I thought it would be a cute way to share the news." Then I am suddenly passed from one soulmate to the other as they kiss me and share their immediate excitement. "Jin, can you help me change them into their actual birthday outfits? I'm not ready yet to announce to our families the news." I frown as Joshie passes me on the way down. I do regret not getting him a shirt also, but since he can now read both languages I thought it would probably be a bad idea to basically announce the news to him first that way.

"Sure, Queen." Yeah Jin did indeed end up changing my nickname after the twins were born, because they are indeed his princesses. There is no denying that to anyone.

The girls squirm and complain, but I can actually manage them pretty well on my own. That's not why I called him up here with me. I look up at him. "I know it doesn't matter. I've seen that for myself with these two sweet girls. But, I wanted you to know... I was able to chart back to around the time of conception for the new baby. With twins, a seven year old, and your Idol schedule it's progressively getting more difficult for us to have alone time to ourselves. So, I know who the biological father to this baby is." I look up at him. "It's you, Sweet Jin."

He looks down at Iris who is squirming in his arms. He kisses the crown of her dark hair, and she settles a bit before looking up at him. "Appa! Don't cry!"

I didn't notice the tears myself, but I'm not really surprised by them. "No worries, Princess. They are happy tears."

Finally we wrangle the twins in their long sleeve peter pan collar dresses. Iris' darker colors. The top portion of her is a deep plum purple and the skirt plaid blue and purple. C.C.'s top is bright pink and the skirt is gray with oval pictures of flowers in various colors. I'm sure the two dresses will end up stained, but that's why I haven't bought them anything designer since their birth. That and the fact that they will simply grow out of them too fast. I'm thankful that most of my soulmates easily saw my own point of view in that regard. Hobi took quite a while to convince and basically fought me tooth and nail about it. However in the end they all showed how down to earth they can be when each of them heavily considered my reasoning.

Not long after my family begins to trickle in. Candace is one of the first ones to show up, and even before Korain and Skai pass the threshold she is pulling me away. "I have to tell you something." She finally says when we are in my room.

"What is it?"

"I'm pregnant!"

I squeal happily and hug her close for only a few minutes before I share my own identical news. A gentle rap at the door has us both looking up as it swings open. "Here you two are." Jiwoo says as she walks slowly into the room.

She's six months along in her own pregnancy, and I swear the outfits she has made for herself are the most adorable maternity outfits I have ever seen. Which has me immediately saying. "Jiwoo, Candace and I are going to need your services."

"Oh?" We fill her in, and I have to remind her not to jump up and down so much when her excitement becomes evident due to her physical representation.

Candace interrupts our excitement by sharing the fact that Korain doesn't know yet. "I'm also not about to share with him during the twins' party. This is their day. I do however plan on saying something when we get home."

"Does Skai know?" I ask curiously.

Candace arches an eyebrow in disbelief. "I don't think Skai would know how to keep a secret."

Jiwoo nods. "Yeah, I've known him for years now. He definitely doesn't have the ability to keep his mouth shut."

We giggle as we go back to the festivities. Which is mostly just grandparents, aunts, uncles, a brother, and of course fathers simply being absorbed by the two sweet toddlers. My soulmates prove they can switch gears from our news and focus fully on our girls, so I am not as apprehensive about the announcement I made earlier on at all.

Canace turns to me. "So, I have to know. In all of your daydreams growing up about your soulmate was there anything like this?"

I smile fondly at the myriad of people I consider family in front of me. "No. This is better than I could have ever imagined."

The End
