Chapter 36

"Daddy is our Baby brother making mommy tired so she can't plays with us?" Rowena asked Eric one morning. Tris was now half way through her sixth month and her stomach was bigger than he thought it would be on her small frame. He loved every minute of it though and for the most part so did she. But as she got closer to the end of her pregnancy Salazar wore her out a lot faster than she had been expecting. The Doctors said it was fine and expected for a first baby. Paired with the fact that she wasn't even in her twenties they told her to take it easy as much as possible.

"Yes he is. And Mommy might not be up to playing with you right away too after he's born. He's going to need a lot of attention." Eric said as he packed up his lunch for work, Natalie slipping in the kitchen when he was talking.

"She took a lot out of me when I was pregnant with her; Caleb in contrast was the opposite. I had lots of energy and look at them now. She's on the go all the time and he rather stay in one spot." Natalie said kissing the girls foreheads in greetings. The girls were still a little too sleepy to do much but they kept rising early not that Eric really complained.

"As long as they are healthy I don't care" Eric said as he slipped out of the kitchen and made his way upstairs and kissed Tris goodbye before leaving for work. He was missing Tris's visits to the school but with Christmas right around the corner Eric was hoping that he would be able to slip the ring in with the presents on Christmas Eve. Tris and he had talked about it and they were going to hand out new pajamas on Christmas Eve after dinner at the Prior house. Boxing Day was going to have Suzanne, Dragon, and the twins over for dinner and Eric was hoping Tris was feeling up to the company. He had only one more day of work after today and then he was offer for Christmas. Friday they had planned to go and get the Christmas tree and decorate it, Tris had been decorating the house slowly during the last week or so and it looked beautiful. Eric had never really put too much effort into it before when it was just Vivian and him but he could see the change in his daughter and how happy she was.

When Tris woke up a couple hours after Eric left she head down to the main floor to see the girls and her mom. It was nice having girl days together now and she was grateful for the help her mom was providing. Last Friday night Tris had sent Eric out to have a men's night with her father, Dragon and Max. Eric hadn't been happy about it at first but he thanked her when he had gotten home later that night.

"How's Salazar this morning?" Natalie asked as Tris rubbed her stomach.

"Sleeping at the moment, He kept me up most of the night deciding to do gymnastics." Tris said as she grabbed an apple and bit into it.

"Christmas is in a week. Do you have all your presents done and wrapped?" Natalie asked as Tris watched the girls finger paint at the dining room table.

"Yeah, it has been rather easy this year to do it. Not like the last couple years with having to mail them to you." Tris said sharing a smile with her mom as Rowena came over to show her the painting she had finished before placing a kiss on Tris's belly, Vivian following after her sister. This was the girls daily thing. They did it when they first saw Tris and before they went to bed at night. It was a nice ritual that Eric loved to see. They were already so in love with their little brother, and they couldn't wait until he was born to see how the girls reacted then.

"It will be nice to have a proper family dinner again, and the family had grown. Next year it's going to be even bigger." Natalie said as she pressed her cheek to Tris's shoulder.

"Well I'm hoping that after Salazar we wait a little bit. Three children under the age of five is going to be a bit much. Even for me and Eric," Tris said fondly. She loved all three children but she wanted a chance to get her energy back after Salazar at least a little bit before thinking about another baby.

"Well you already have the experience with children so you were ahead of me at least in that area." Natalie said as Tris giggled.

"It's different when it's your own child. As a Nanny, you can go home at the end of the day but not when it's yours. It's a 24 hour a day job, 7 days a week, 365 days a year." Tris said as Natalie chuckled.

"It is never ending. But worth it." Natalie agreed as she brushed Tris's hair to the side.

"Yes it is."

"DADDY!" The girls yelled as Eric walked into the house, stomping his boots off from the snow. Eric kneeled down to catch both of them as Tris leaned against the doorway to the kitchen a smile on her face. She could hear the girls babbling about their day as she watched, Eric releasing them to take off his coat and boots, his hat and mitts joining the rest of his things.

"Hi Angel," Eric said softly as he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her gently.

"Hi, enjoy your greeting?" Tris asked teasingly as Eric chuckled.

"Loved it. All that was missing was a dog yapping at me." Eric said dryly as Tris giggled.

"Caleb wanted to get the girls a pet for Christmas. I told him no, at least not with Salazar on the way, maybe in a few years when the girls are older." Tris said making Eric grin.

"He was trying to sneak it past me was he? We talked about this when I was out with him and your dad." Eric said shaking his head slightly. Tris hugged Eric again, his hands nice and warm on her back. Tris cuddled closer to him making him chuckle as they stood there together.

"I like this cuddly side of you." Eric teased as he rubbed the side of her belly before he blinked down at her stomach.

"Settle down son" Eric said gently leaning down to kiss her bump before Tris giggled as Salazar kicked again this time close to where Eric had kissed.

"He knows his Daddy." Tris said as Eric smiled softly.

"I'm just hoping he will learn to let his mommy sleep at night." Eric said as he got back to his feet and wrapped his arm securely around her waist.

"It's good for when he's waking up during the night for feedings and changings." Tris said as Eric chuckled.

"And here I thought those were behind me." He teased. The rest of the week passed quickly and the tree went up by noon on Friday, and was fully decorated by the end of the night. Rowena got to put the star on the top of the tree and Vivian was content to work on the lower branches with Tris. It was beautiful tree when it was done and Tris hadn't had a real tree for Christmas since she left for France. The Twins did their best to make Christmas special but there was always something missing despite their best intentions.

Soon it was Christmas Eve and Tris, Eric and the girls were dressed and on their way to their Christmas dinner with her parents. Tris had chosen another black dress to keep things simple, but she had allowed the girls to choose what they wanted to wear. Rowena had chosen a dark blue long sleeve dress to match Tris's, but Vivian had chosen to go with an all-black dress to keep the same color. All three of them wore matching black flats, had their hair done the same, which brought a smile to Eric's lips when he saw it. He had kept it simple with a black jacket and pants, and kept his shirt white.

"You made it!" Natalie said happily, as she opened the door her hair back in her classic bun but she was wearing a grey dress that brought out her eyes. Natalie ushered them into the house as Caleb came down from his room and smiled at the rest of the family before greeting them, Rowena settled on his hip as they moved into the dining room. Dinner was lively and Tris was happy to be home again, Eric's arm warm around the back of her chair as they ate, the girls telling Natalie and Andrew about the tree they had done, and the cookies they had helped bake for Santa.

Caleb was grinning as he listened to the girls and Andrew looked happy to have his family all together under one roof again. Eric couldn't remember a time when he was in a house that was filled with laughter and joy like the Prior house was. It was one of the many blessings that he counted for himself and Vivian for the year. It was just even better now that not only was he with Tris and going to have a Baby with her, but now where was another Daughter in his life and both of them were blossoming with a stable and loving family. The girls were content to sit and listen to Andrew tell Christmas stories by the tree after dinner, Tris, curled into Eric's side as they listened, soft smiles on their faces. This was one Christmas Tradition that they could get used to.

Eric carried the barely awake girls to the truck as Tris said goodbye and goodnight to her parents, before making her way sleepily to the truck.

"When we get home we can open one present each." Eric said as he drove back towards the house, the girls perking up slightly at the idea of getting a present. Tris shared a soft smile with Eric interested in the girl's responses to seeing their presents. Once they were back at the house the girls were still a little more awake but were excited to open their present. Tris smiled fondly as she leaned against Eric, the girls opening their new pajama onesie's. Tris and Eric having ones too to wear around the house the next morning, it would just be too warm to wear them in bed since Eric was a furnace to sleep with.

"Time for bed girls, otherwise Santa won't come to give you presents." Eric said gently.

"Cookies and Milk?" Rowena asked as she looked up at Eric who was helping her change into her onesie.

"For Santa?" Eric asked his nose tapping Rowena's gently. Even still, there was still moments that she was quiet and unsure when she asked for things. Rowena nodded making Eric smile.

"We can't forget that can we?" Eric asked as he picked her up and settled her on his hip. Vivian took Tris's free hand and made her way into the kitchen before helping select the glass of milk and cookies they wanted to give to Santa before both girls went upstairs to brush their teeth.

"How are you feeling Angel? Is Salazar behaving?" Eric asked as he placed a hand on her stomach and was rewarded with a strong kick.

"Like I could sleep for a week. He's been a little more active today but I can put it down to all the excitement." Tris said leaning into Eric who chuckled.

"I don't mind putting everything out after the girls are asleep if you want to try to get some sleep." Eric suggested as Tris smiled sleepily at him.

"Well that can take some time. But as long as you cuddle with me before hand." Tris said, Eric chuckling as he kissed her nose.

"Of Course."
