Thanks again Divergent Rebel 4664 for your continued support of my story! I have one name each picked out for a boy and a girl so now I have to decide which one I wanna go for. This chapter will be up soon!
Tris POV
I'm starting to slowly feel the effects of my pregnancy on my body. I'm already into my second trimester. As soon as I could, I scheduled a doctor's appointment and was told that everything is going smoothly so far. Tobias has been spoiling me and taking care of me so well, catering to my every need. My hormones are driving me nuts, to say the least. Sometimes I just find myself crying for everything. Sometimes they are happy tears and sometimes they are sad tears. Sometimes I doubt myself and don't think I'm strong enough to handle having a baby, but luckily Tobias is always there to hold me tight, comfort me, and assure me that I'll be the best mother to our child. Things have been so crazy that I haven't had time to stop and breathe. I feel like an idiot that I haven't told Caleb yet so today I've finally had time to do so.
"Hey Tris, how are you and Four doing?" He has started calling me Tris which surprised me a little bit, but definitely makes me happy.
"Hi Caleb. We are doing good. How are you?"
"I'm good!"
"Four and I had been thinking of coming out to visit you soon, but some things have come up recently."
"Really? Like what?"
"Well, remember how we talked about making you an uncle one day?"
"Yeah..." He says and I can already hear the excitement in his voice.
"Well, it's happening. I'm pregnant!"
"Congratulations sis! Please extend my congrats to Four as well!"
"Thanks and I will!"
"How is your pregnancy so far?"
"It's good despite the occasional morning sickness and my raging hormones, but the baby is healthy and growing."
"I'm glad to hear that, sis. Is Four excited?"
"Yeah he is. I actually found out right before his birthday so I surprised him with the news then."
"That's awesome."
"So yeah my pregnancy kinda put a wrench in our plans to go see you but maybe once the baby is born and things settle down we can plan something."
"I might be able to come out to see you when it's born so you don't have to come out here right away, but yeah I would love to have you three out here when you have the chance. I'd be happy to show you around and all that."
"Well you know that I would love for you to be here when the baby is born so I hope you can come."
"I'll do everything I can to make it happen."
"Thanks Caleb. I miss you."
"I miss you too sis. Congratulations again and I'll talk to you soon then."
"Sounds good."
We say our goodbyes and hang up.
PAGE BREAK
Today is Evelyn and John's wedding. Tobias and I offered to have the ceremony in our backyard. We have a decent size backyard which will be good for our kids to play in and maybe we might think of vgetting a dog one day as well.
Tobias escorts Evelyn down the makeshift aisle from our porch to the grassy area. It's surreal that not that long ago Evelyn was escorting him at our wedding and now he's doing the same for her. Sometimes when I watch them together it's as if they've been getting along all this time. I've never seen Tobias this happy when he's around his mother and now stepfather. Although he and I have formed our own family, it's still nice to see that the family that Tobias had that was once lost has been repaired. If anyone deserves to have a real family it's Tobias and I. I've made peace with my parents deaths and have Caleb back so I am happy. I will always miss my parents but they are always with me wherever I go. I talk to them sometimes and tell them about Tobias and I and now about our baby. One day I'll tell my child or children about them and how great they were. I know that they are watching over me and are doing the same for my child.
Later that night we enjoy a delicious family dinner and even have a small dance in our backyard with lights all around us. Tobias and I sway to the music and occasionally steal kisses from each other. I can see it in his eyes just how happy he is for his mother.
"You're happy, aren't you?" I say.
"Yeah, I am." He replies with a smile. He bends down and kisses my stomach where I now have a noticeable bump. "I have my mother back, I have finally the father I've always wanted, I have my beautiful wife, and now I have a child on the way. Life couldn't be better. I'm extremely grateful, most of all for you."
I have tears in my eyes but I'm still smiling big. "I'm grateful for you too." He leans in and presses his lips to mine in a passionate kiss. I don't know how long we stay like that in each other's arms, swaying to the music, but there's nowhere I'd rather be. Whenever I'm in my husband's arms I feel protected and loved and at home. No one has ever loved me like Tobias does and no one ever will.
