Previously:

Tobias.

"Hey Four, How are you" Tori says shaking his hand as he comes to the bar.

"Hey everyone. Good to see all of you again." He replies with a slight smile. "Hey Tori, I have those boxes of shirts out in my truck if you want me to bring them in."

"Sure, Take one of the guys to help you. that way you only have to make one trip." she replies.

"Here, I'll help you man." Zeke jumps up and says.

As they walk out the door Tori turns back to us and says, "He is the new business partner and bartender. Tris, I will you run through the drink menu with Four before your shift begins at 7 tonight? He will work with you the next couple of days just so he can get used to the way we make our drinks around here. Christina will help out at the bar just until he gets the hang of it all. Which I dont think will take that long. Maybe a day or so."

"Sure Tori. I'll get started on it as soon as we are done here."

"Thanks little mama... oh and Tris?" Tori calls.

"Yeah?"

"You need to tell him." she says with a smirk pointing at the twins playing with some toys at a corner booth close to the bar.

After she finishes saying this everyone starts up different conversations about the stage schedule and work schedules. As it turns out I have to get up on stage and sing tonight as well as run the bar and front house.

I think to myself 'gotta love this job' but as I am thinking this Tobias and Zeke walk up to the bar carrying four big boxes. They place the boxes on the counter and we all gather around so we can see the new tshirts we will be wearing for work.

"Here they are. Tori gave me a list of all the employees here and had be have your names put on all the shirts." Tobias tells us.

"Thanks." we all say at once.

"Alright guys. That's it for this meeting. See you all later. Be here on time please and make sure you know you stage and work schedules for the week." Tori says as she is walking to her office but before she gets there she turns and says, "Four, Tris will be helping you get comfortable around here the next few days. She pretty much runs things when I am not around."

After she says this I go to walk behind the bar to grab the drink and food menus we have and then walk over to the twins and tell them it is time to go back home until I have to be at work. They get up and follow me as I tell Tobias " Let's go, We have ALOT to cover before your first shift tonight."

As we walk into the house I go straight to the kitchen and sit at the breakfast bar and Tobias takes the sit next to me, I turn and ask him "so what brought you back to Ross county?"

"Just felt like coming back home Bea." He replies with a smirk. "Hey can I ask you something before we start this training session?"

"Sure, why not." I say even though I know he is wondering about Aaron and Annie. He hasn't been able to take his eyes off of them since first laid eyes on them back in the bar.

He gives a light chuckle and asks " Whose kids are they? They are adorable."

I knew it, so I simply reply "They are mine."

He looks at me for a second and then at the kids and then back at me and says "how old are they? Who is their father? Why isn't he around?"

Tori was right I will have to tell him. So I let out a sign and then tell him. "They are 4 years old. I found out I was pregnant with them about 3 weeks after you left. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to try and come back here and have to deal with Marcus. I'm sorry I hope you understand. I didn't want to tie you down here when you needed to get away from him."

He sits there looking shocked and like he is thinking hard about all of this trying to process this information. Finally he says "I understand. I wish you had told me though. I feel likeI have missed their whole life. What are their names?" He gives a small smile as he asks this question and I get up and walk into the playroom where they are playing wit their toys and watching mickey mouse on the TV.

He follows me as I say "Their names are Aaron Tobias Prior and Annie Rayne Prior. I hope you forgive me for not telling you about them before this. I just didn't want to ruin you life with being a teenage parent."

"I forgive you Bea. They are beautiful. Marcus doesn't know about them does he?" He says with concern in his voice.

I smile and tell him "no I have never let Marcus around any of us. I knew if he got close enough to them that he could tell just by looking at them who their father is. You can go talk to them if you want."

He gives a relieved smile as he walks into the room and kneels down to see them on their level. I walk over to them and tell them "Come on, I want you to meet someone." They follow me over to Tobias and he falls back till he is sitting on the floor in front of them with his elbows on his knees. "Tobias, I want you to meet Aaron and Annie."

Annie walks over to him and puts her small hands on his cheeks and giggles saying "Hello. It is nice to meet you. You are very handsome."

I laugh and take Aarons hand and walk with him over to Tobias and say "Sweethearts, This man is Tobias. He is you daddy."

Tobias sits and plays with the kids for a while until I finally look up at the clock and see it is already 4:30 in the afternoon and we still haven't gone over any of the drinks for tonight. I reluctently tell Tobias "We should get to work on these drinks so you will be prepared for tonight. We will most likely be busy." He agrees and leaves the kids to play while we work.
