CHAPTER 1
I don't know how I expect him to react, or if he would react at all. We didn't plan on having a baby soon. Like really soon, after barely 2 months from our wedding I'm already pregnant! I can't think what would happen if we'd live on. Every 2 months and a new baby? That is absurd! And it won't happen, just some crazy thought.
"Tris! That's great!" Tobias said as he comes over and hugged me. "Uh, no. We're not ready! And I'm not entirely sure if it's true. I need confirmation," I said and responded to his hug. "We'll make ourselves ready! And we can go buy pregnancy tests or go to the clinic," Tobias said.
It sounds like he thought of everything. I don't even know he'd react like this, but then again I didn't expect anything. Maybe he's just saying this to not upset me. I raised my eyebrows. He raised his eyebrows too, mimicking me.
"Come on, let's go to the pharmacy," he said and pulled me to the door. I got my coat and his as we walked outside towards the car. It was a little chilly out. The closest pharmacy was a 10-minute drive from our house.
I watched from the side-mirror as our villa (designed like an S2) slowly shrinks. It was a good location, it was all quiet and I feel kind of safe. And also I wouldn't hear the noise of traffic. I couldn't help but think about what would happen. What if it's a negative? Would Tobias be disappointed? Or maybe relieved? What if it's a positive then?
I twirled my hair, a sign I got nervous. I no longer bite my nails, it was a bad habit to begin with and I don't like how it gets all chipped. Tobias saw the anxious look on my face and gave my hand a squeeze. "It'll be okay. Whatever the result is, we can get through it," Tobias gave an encouraging smile. I smiled back and gave a slight nod.

Tobias is outside, in the bedroom. I checked my second pregnancy test, just to make sure; two red vertical lines. I closed my eyes and tried to keep calm. But I panicked as I opened the door and ran to Tobias who is reading a book, lying on his back.
"It's true. I am!" I said, burying my face in his shirt. "No need to feel this way. I'm here," Tobias said, running his hands through my hair. It helped me calm down just a teensy bit.
"I've never regretted a day for marrying you. I'm assuming you know that?" I said, looking into his dreamy blue eyes. "No I didn't know," he rolled his eyes. "You'll still love me, even though I'm going to gain weight for carrying the baby?" I asked, curious although I already knew the answer. "You're gonna gain weight? I'm leaving," he jumped off the bed. I faked a gasp and gave a pathetic sound of a whimper.
I peeked through my fingers and saw him walking slowly towards the other side of the bed. Not this time. I jumped out on him and we landed on the floor with a thud, him cushioning me. "How was that?" I asked, eager to know how I did on my hundredth try learning defense from Master Tobias. "You could've done better," he said, ruffling my hair.
I scrunched my nose and got up as he tackled me on the bed. He started to tickle, knowing that my ticklish part is at my tummy. "No!" I screamed and laughed and eventually, he stopped. I gasped for air. I turned on my side and faced him. "You need to be careful," I said, looking at his smiling figure. "Yeah, I probably should. And you, as an accident magnet, need to watch out," he touched the tip of my nose.
I stifled a yawn and turned on my back. "G'night dear," I said. I gave him a good night kiss. "Night Tris," he said and turned off the table lamp. I feel his body giving out warmth as he wrapped me in his arms. We are having a baby. Those were the last thoughts I had before my breathing steadies.
***Pagebreak***
Two months later, we had done an ultrasound check up with my favourite doctor, Dr Tori of course! She's not an expert at that but she knows how to. "Tris, congratulations. I suppose you don't want others to know yet?" she asks. This doctor sure does know me. I nodded. Tobias insisted on coming, to give me support or something. I can't say I'm not happy, I am, truly. I'm just, nervous.
Dr Tori gave a wide smile. "You're having triplets! You must be happy!" she said excitedly. The smile on my face was wiped away. Triplets?! Having a baby now is already too much, but three?! I widened my eyes, I don't dare look at Tobias, though the feel of his calloused hand on mine is still there. I took a deep breath, calming myself.
"Aren't you just happy?" Dr Tori apparently didn't get the memo. Being a doctor and she doesn't know how her patients feel like. I managed a weak smile. "Don't worry, you can handle it," she squeezed my free hand. "Also, you need to see me back in, 2 months?" Dr Tori asks. I gave a slight nod.
Tobias had to steady me as we exited the room. I am shaking. I most definitely can't handle three! I run my fingers through my hair. My dearest husband enveloped me in a warming hug. "We'll be bringing three cute babies into the world. Don't get upset," he whispered. "I'm not," I replied. I'm just a little scared.
I walked to the front desk to pay the bills. "You're as pale as if you've seen a ghost, what happened?" the nurse asked. She's a little too friendly and I'm not in the mood. "She's just a little shocked, that's all," Tobias answered for me. I still can't think clearly.
I was quiet the whole time we were in the car, going back home. Time seems to pass slowly; it's like they're trying to piss me off. I barely noticed when we arrived, the car is parked in the garage. "Tris, it's going to be fine," Tobias said, cupping my cheek. I put my hand on his and pressed my cheek into his hand. "I know, it's just… how can I handle things if you're not around often? Your flights now are always three days at a time while I'm home alone. And the bab-ies" I forgot we were gonna have three.
He chuckled. "Relax, I'll be here most of the time, and I'll help you get through the 9 months," Tobias said as we walked inside. We turned on the tv. I leaned onto his shoulder, already feeling tired.
