~ Chapter 29 ~

Tris

We stayed for a while, just not saying anything. I so badly wanted to just stay here now forever. For the first time in my life, nothing could have ever been better. My babies, two little girls were finally here, my amazing friends Chris, Uri, and Will were back with me, and most especially, the most incredible man on earth, my fiance was right next to me through it all. I could not imagine anything better. As we talked, I heard the door open. Was Tobias really stupid enough to leave it unlocked? Seriously?

Tobias noticed my alarm, so he handed Drea to me and got up to see who came in. He didn't have time to leave the room before we saw Zeke in the kitchen. He grabbed a water from the fridge and called, "Hey guys, it's Zeke!" I giggled at this. He didn't know wheat he was in for. He looked around, I assume wondering where we were. He opened the door the bathroom, checking to see if Tobias might become in there. Obviously he wasn't. "Hello, anybody-" he stopped mid sentence as he opened the door to our bedroom. "What the hell happened here?" I laughed. "Tris had her babies, you idiot!" Uriah replied with a friendly shove. "You knew about this?" He smiled a cheesy smile and nodded. Christina slapped him. "You are a terrible liar! That'll teach you to tell the truth!" "No, it'll just teach me never to sit next to you again." She rolled her eyes and we all laughed as still stood in the doorway, clearly shocked. "Back up! Those are your babies? You mean like they're here? And real?" I smiled and nodded as Tobias took my hand again and brushed a stray piece of from my face gently. "So you're like a dad now?" He laughed and took Natalie from my arms. "I guess you could say that." "I don't know what to say, really. Umm... congratulations!" "Thank you," we replied in unison, and Tobias asked him if he wanted to hold them. He nodded, his face full of excitement as he placed Natalie, then Drea in his arms. He was flowing. It was really pretty adorable. "They're so cute! And little!" We all laughed at him. He was never like this.

"God you sound like a little kid! Grow up!" Tobias fake-scolded as he playfully punched him. "Someone seems awful mature all of a sudden!" Zeke countered and I knew where this was going. "I had to grow up quickly. I had to become a dad. I am not a little kid anymore. I haven't been for a while, but still. I am an adult, and will be the responsible one with my daughters. I had no choice. I can't be fooling around anymore. I am an adult, and its about time you became one too." No one said anything for me a few minutes after; I think they were all too scared of him. I, on the other hand, knew he was only kidding and would always have a child-like persona about him. It took a while longer fir the rest of them to figure out he was only kidding, ans one by one, we all started laughing until the whole place shook with the sound of us. It eventually upset both babies, who we tucked into bed for the night after one more feeding. That was the cue for everyone to leave. Well, except Chris, that is. She insisted on staying the night to ensure the babies were doing alright. It took some convincing, but I reluctantly agreed when she promised she'd take the sofa. But everyone else left, one by one, wishing us well, hugging both of us, promising to keep on touch, and offer any assistance they could offer in the next few days and weeks.

As I got up, I refamiliarized myself with my normal weight as I walked without any restraint for the first time in months. It was wonderful. I was quite sore and Chris wasn't a fan of the idea of me walking around, but I managed, and it was settled down and had no problem making herself at home as she played with pillows and I washed my face in the smaller bathroom. After bidding her goodnight, I went to join Tobias in Our bed that was oh-so eventful today.

"Tris, I can't believe this. You made me a dad," he whispered to me after I had climbed under the covers. "That's not quite true. While I did give birth to your two lovely daughters, they were the ones who made you a dad, not me." "But I wouldn't be a dad right now if it weren't for you. Thank you." He placed a gentle kiss on my lips as he spoke. I could never understand how he was so human, but so perfect at the same time. Oh how did I love him. "Listen. I am so proud of you Tris, you hear? I cannot even pour into words how proud I am of you today. You are the most incredible and strong girl I have and will ever know, I know that. I just have to make sure you know that too. I love you. I cannot believe this is happening. I'm living a dream with you, Tris. I love you so much and am so proud of you. I could never have found a better and more worthy mom for my daughters than in you. I promise I'll be the best husband you can ever ask for, alright?" "Oh I expect nothing less."

His words echoed in my head. I couldn't ask for a better guy. He was the sweetest , bravest, and sure as hell sexiest man I could have ever dreamed up. He shooed me as he laughed. "No, really, Tobias, I really do know. You are already the best dad I have ever seen and I couldn't imagine a better husband to have. I love you too Tobias. Don't you ever forget that. And thank you, for everything. " He looked confused. "But what did I do?" He asked. "You were there for me. That was enough. It was all I needed. Thank you." He seemed satisfied with this as he said, "Well in that case I was happy to help." He at e for a minute before his face turned serious. "Tris?" He said, his voice like a question. "I am scared." "Why?" I was a little worried. Four only had four fears, after all. "I want to love them, the babies, but..." "But what? You do love them! I know you do, I see it in the way you look at them. I promise you you have nothing to worry about." I kissed his cheek to prove my point. "I just don't want to be like... like him. I just need you, all of you, to know I love you. You do know that, don't you?" So that's what this was about. Again. "Listen, we have been over this Tobias, but I will say it now until the day I die. I love you. Your babies love you. You love us, we have never had any slight doubt about that. You have showed us so many ways how much you truly care for us and support us. Any normal guy would have completely bailed if he knew his 16-year-old girlfriend was pregnant with his twin daughters. But you didn't. You stayed with me through every puke session and every doctor's appointment, and thank you so much for that. I really appreciate it. But please don't be stupid here. We love you, Tobias, and never for a moment until the day we die will we ever change, because we know you feel the exact same way about all of us. We love you. Don't forget that. You will never be like Marcus. Never. Don't let the thought even enter your mind. Abandon it all, right here, right now. Your father couldn't love, and you love perfectly. That right there shows me you are two separate men. You are not your father nor will you ever be, and I say that without a doubt in my mind. And for that, I love you with my whole heart, Tobias Eaton." He was suppressing tears; I could tell.

We stayed there for a while as he told me he loved me over and over again and as we kissed, I recounted in my head for the thousandth time the events of this crazy day, June 16. I recalled the pain I was in for what seemed like centuries to the first cry of Natalie to holding Drea for the first time. I was overwhelmed with immense happiness at the ever-so distant memory that I knew would only grow older with ever every second that ticked by. I smiled and fell asleep rather quickly in my fiance' s arms. I slept rather well until I was awoken the next day, a very important day, mind you, by the high pitched scream of not one, but two adorable babies. "Oh boy," I thought. "Let the festivities begin."
