Chapter 11: Welcome Home

Turns out, since Hwoarang was a family man, the military had to release him by law. The discontinued his contract almost two months later. Just in time to make it home before Xiaoyu gave birth to Iseul, he got to the front door of their apartment and his phone rang "Hello?"

"Hey," Xiaoyu said "where are you?"

"I just got home," he stuck his keys in his pocket "why, you aren't home?"

"No," she groaned in pain "I'm contracting, we're on the way to the hospital now."

"Be there in a minute-" he ran outside, cranked his bike and was off.

"My girlfriends having a baby," he told the receptionist "Last name Ling, first name Xiaoyu?"

The woman stared at the computer screen for a moment "Room 416."

"Thanks!" he ran to the elevator. Halfway up, a crowd of people entered "Come on, come on. Can't you people hurry up?!" he yelled at them. The elderly glared at him, whispering about him. He looked at his watch, the elevator seemed to be moving painfully slow "Can't this thing move any fucking faster?!"

"Someone needs to wash that young man's mouth out with soap." One of women snapped.

"Argh," he growled "shut up you old bat."

Everyone in the elevator gasped "Someone should call security." The doors slid open slowly "Finally!" Hwoarang carelessly pushed by the other passengers. One of the older men quickly closed the door "He's foreign and wearing militant clothes, do you think this could be an attack?" the people all stared in shock and confusion. He didn't seem to be armed, but with someone as capable looking as he was, it was possible. "16, 16, 16…" he mumbled to himself "there's 18, 17,-" he ran though the door, the doctors were just leaving "Did I miss it?!" he grabbed one by the shirt.

The man was taken aback. No one had ever treated his with such disrespect "Yes," he glared "the children are healthy. Congratulations."

"Children?" he ran passed them.

"You're late." Xiaoyu flashed him a tired grin.

"I'm so sorry, baby." He held her close, kissing her sweaty forehead "I tried."

She nuzzled against him, smiling and tugging at his low ponytail "Iseul has a new older brother."

"What? Twins?"

"Yeah… the doctors told us that when we had the ultra sound done, Iseul was in front of her brother so it was hard to tell. They said we should've had heart-beat monitor tests done too."

"Where are they?" he looked around.

"They're with grandpa and Mikazuki in the baby room. It's down the hall to the right." She smiled.

"I want to go see them… Will you be alright by yourself for a few minutes?"

"Yep." Xiaoyu flashed the same cute smile he loved, the one that always made his heart race.

"I love you. And I've missed you so much." He hugged her tightly.

"I love you and missed you too, Haneul."

Hwoarang pouted childishly. He hated it when she called him that.

"What's wrong, my sweet, sweet spec ops sergeant?" she poked his nose.

"I got demoted for abandoning my post, remember?"

"Oh yeah…" she ran out of drabble to talk about "Okay, I can't stall anymore. Go ahead and see the kids. Mikazuki really missed you."

Something curled around his leg, he looked down "Hey, buddy!" he picked up the toddler.

"I missed you, daddy!" he wrapped his arms around his neck.

"I missed you, too, Mikazuki. Did you do like I asked you?"

"Yep, I kept mommy super-safe." He said proudly.

Xiaoyu laughed "Tell daddy what mommy said to mean men, honey."

Mikazuki looked at her to make sure it was okay to repeat her, she nodded. "Okay, mean men would ask her if she had a man, and she would tell them 'My boyfriend's in a spec ops unit. Have you ever had a sergeant's boot up your ass before?' then they'd get all scared and run away. I thought it was really funny!"

He burst out into laughter "My only question is, who's been giving you sugar?"

"No one, why?" the child looked puzzled.

"I have never in my life heard anyone talk that fast." He kissed Mikazuki's forehead.

He jumped off his lap "Wanna see my new brother and sister, daddy?"

Hwoarang smiled "Yes let's go."

"Hold up." Xiaoyu raised her hand as if she were in class "Mikazuki, where's grandpa?"

"With the babies." He grabbed onto Hwoarang's leg because he knew he has in trouble.

"How'd you get back here?" she put her hands on her hips.

He pouted "Grandpa asked a nice nurse take me here." He pointed to the floor.

"Hey, Mikazuki?" Hwoarang picked him up "Why don't you stay here and protect mommy?"

"You're not leaving again, are you, daddy?" he balled his fists under his chin as his eyes watered.

"Of course not, buddy. I just want to go see your new siblings, okay? I'll be right back."

He pouted "okay…"

Wang was cooing at the babies when Hwoarang walked in "Hey, Wang."

"Hello, Haneul. Welcome home, my boy." Wang patted him on the shoulder. "Come see your children, adorable! Honestly, I didn't think it anything coming from you could be considering anything positive!" he joked.

"Mikazuki's cute." He shrugged, leaning over the crib.

He cleared his throat "I said that 'came from you'. Do I really look like a blind old fool?"

"Nah, just old." He smiled as one of the babies wrapped it's hand around his pinkie finger.

Wang put his hands on the crib "That was the most selfless act. Mikazuki is a bright and happy boy and I thank you being there when Jin was not."

Hwoarang froze up, he just stared blankly at him.

"I'm not suggesting anything by it." He cleared his throat "I know I have not always seen eye to eye with you, and at first, well hell I didn't like you. But now, I see, you really do love and mean well for them. I don't think even if I picked someone for my granddaughter, he wouldn't be as good as you."

Hwoarang placed his hand on Wang's shoulder, not really sure what to say "-"

"I'll take that as a 'thank you'." He grinned, "So what are you going to name him?"

"Hm?"

"Xiaoyu said she wants you to name your son."

Hwoarang thought for a moment "During the first few months of Xiaoyu's pregnancy, at first I hoped for a boy, and to name him Jie."

"One who rises above the rest. . ." Wang nodded to himself "That is a perfect name for him."

Yay, Wang and Hwoarang get along now! And whew, twins, huh? Don't they sound cute? The name Jie is Chinese, you better remember what it means! But seriously, it is the perfect name for him. Because if I ever ended up writing a sequel story about their kids… Hwoarang and Xiaoyu are only mentioned and the kids are in their teens. It'll be about how the strain of Mikazuki not being biologically Hwoarang's wears on Mikazuki and Jie's relationship as brothers. Isuel, of course, not caring that Mikazuki is only her half-brother tries to break the negativity between them.
