okay, that took longer than expected, but as I said; i got a job. But I am really trying to find time to Write! Hope you will enjoy the chapter :)
Tris POV.
We got many comments on our engagement, but the most used was: 'What took you so long'. To be honest I don't know why we decided that now was the time. I never really gave marriage much thought, because I knew that Tobias was the one I was going to spend the rest of my life with. And a ring or a few words in a church are not going to make that statement truer. But of course that doesn't mean that I wasn't the happiest woman on the day, Jesus, I cried way too much. Not so much in the church, because I am not religious, but at the party, with all those beautiful and funny speeches. We really had an amazing wedding day.
*Flashback to wedding party*.
I look at the people gathered around in the barn we've rented, we decided that it would be nice to get out of town. Everybody seems to be enjoying themselves, drinking, dancing and talking. Will and Christina is trying to get their 4 year old son down from the table, he is very stubborn, guess he takes that after Christina. Lynn and Al are sitting and looking madly in love, guess we will be going to a wedding again soon.
"Why is it that every time we are all gathered together, I get reminded about how sad my single life is?" Mo says and sits down beside me, I give him a smile and nudge him with my elbow.
"They don't know what they are missing out on, you are too good for them"
"What a nice way to put it" He takes a swing of his beer, and eyes me when I take a long sip of my water. "You are freaking boring when you are pregnant"
I am about to say something when there is a sound of a fork hitting against a glass.
"Wuhu, speech time" Mo says and returns to his seat. A second after he got up, Tobias returned and took his place beside me. I take his hand, and the corners of his mouth turns up in a grin, before he presses his lips against our intertwined hands.
"Are you nervous about what they are going to say?" I ask, nodding towards Uriah who is standing up and ready to speak.
"No, are you?"
"No" I shake my head, and then look him in the eyes. "I am fucking terrified"
Tobias lets out a short laugh, he places on the side of my head and we turn our attention back to Uriah. As expected Uriah's isn't bad, I think they all worked together on that speech. Next up is Christina, and I can already feel my heart beating a little faster. She gets up and clears her throat.
"Dear Tobias and Tris, congratulations on your marriage. When that's said, let's just be honest and say; that it wasn't in the cards from the start. You see; When I first met Tris back in High School, she hated Tobias. That's actually how we became friends, our hate towards him united us. Trust me, we had a reason to hate him, because even though he were just as handsome back then; he was a major douchebag"
People start laughing a bit, sending looks towards us. Tobias and I share a look, praying that this speech will not turn out as bad as we are fearing right now. Christina waits for people to be quite, before she continues.
"I especially remember a certain Nutella incident in the park. To all of you who wasn't there, or haven't heard about it; Tobias decided to turn Tris into a giant human chocolate bar. Which, when you look back, was kind of funny, but back then we just wanted to kill him. So I was actually kind of disappointed, when she decided to become friends with that idiot"
"That was also funny back then" Caleb says, and his deep laughter fills the room.
"Hey! I am speaking now, shut it! But seriously, Tris" She turns and looks at me. "I see now that, that was the best decision you ever made. Because this man made you happy, and I know that he still does, just as must as when we were teenagers. So to Tobias and Tris, a living proof that love at first sight is highly overrated" She raise her glass, and the whole crowd joins the toast. I get up from my seat, and rush to hug her. New tears forming in my eyes.
"Thank you, that was amazing" I whisper against her shoulder.
"I know, stop crying now! You are ruing your make up" She teases and pulls away, trying to wipe away her own tears. I return to my seat.
"Well that wasn't that bad, besides your whole family now know that I was a giant idiot back then" Out of the corner of my eye I see Mo is getting ready, and right then I just want to run out of the room. You know the grooms best friend, the one you fear will reveal dirty secrets about your husband, things you don't really want to hear: Mo is that friend. He has no filter, he just says whatever he wants.
"Tris decided to settle down with this guy early in life, which was very disappointing for me. She could have become an awesome skanky single girl, who I could take with me out every weekend. And God knows that we had some crazy nights out, I don't even think I can talk about this here" Oh my, here it goes.
"But that didn't happen, Tobias won her over, and that was for the best. When we were younger, everybody thought that we were dating, hell I even thought about asking you out, just to do it. But you knew early in life that I wasn't interested in women, and that's actually the keyword here; Women. My mom asked me some weeks ago; 'why can't you just love a woman?' and my answer was 'I do love a woman, and she is getting married'. No I am not interested in women, I am only interested in you, Tris. But not in that way, because it's not in my nature, but I love you with all my heart and you are more than enough woman in my life. So Tobias, you better be a good man to her and give her all that I can't give her. Make her the happiest woman alive, because she, of all people, deserves it"
*End of flashback*
Sitting here looking back at that, with my body full of pregnancy hormones, makes me cry all over again. It's 6 months ago, and I still cry like I was sitting there at the table. Jesus, freaking hormones. I hear the door opens, and Tobias calling for me in the hallway. I quickly wipe the tears away, though I know he can tell I've been crying anyway. He come in and looks at me with wide eyes, then at the table where there is a pile of candy paper.
"You ate all that, and you asked me to bring cake home"
"It's for the baby, you have no idea how much I am looking forward to get it out of me! I've turned into a giant manatee" I pause and look up at him. "did you bring the cake?" He lets out a laugh, and pull out a box with a large piece of chocolate cake. I snatch it from him, and start digging in.
"The due was like 2 days ago right?" Tobias says and sits down next to me.
"Yeah, I read a little online about how you can help the water to break"
"Let's hear it"
"Well, spicy food"
"That's easy enough, go out and finish that bottle of hot sauce" He grins at me, and I nudge him in the side.
"Then there is sex" Now Tobias' eyes light up, and his grin turns into a seductive smirk.
"Well I don't mind helping you with that" He says in a husky voice, and it almost makes forget that I look like a giant whale.
"No, I don't think Amnesty International will be pleased if you have intercourse with this rare whale kind" I joke, it makes him laughs and leans over to kiss me.
"You know I think you are beautiful. What should we do then?"
"Drive me to the amusement park, rollercoasters can help the water brake too"
"You're joking now right?"
"No, google said it, then it's true" I say and try to get up from the couch, but Tobias stops me.
"Tris, there's no way in hell, that I am letting you try a dead trap of a rollercoaster"
"Get over yourself! I want to get this baby out! Like NOW!" I exclaim and get up, walking out in the kitchen. These freaking hormones makes my mood change like a flick of a switch, as I stand there I suddenly feel the familiar feeling of release. I freeze and look down.
"TOBIAS" I can hear him getting up from the couch.
"No, Tris, we are not going to an amusement park" His voice gets closer, and then he stand in the door way and look at me with worried eyes.
"Tris, what's wrong? Are You in pain?" His voice full of concern.
"My water just broke, I guess anger is a tricker too" I whisper while letting out a shaky breath.
"Okay, this time I am calm, very calm, no panicking"
"GET THE GOD DAMN CAR!" I exclaim, which makes Tobias jump in surprise.
"WERE THE HELL ARE THE KEYS?!" He yells and disappears.
Who said that this would be easier second time?
Because who ever came up with such a lie, needs to be punished. It was just as much pain, and it took even longer time.
"Can't you just leave it in there? I am so tired" I whine, throwing my head against the pillow.
"I don't think that's a possibility" Tobias chuckles and takes my hand. I pull it back.
"Yeah? Why don't take my place then? Push this baby out!" I snap, making the whole medical crew to laugh.
"Don't worry Miss. Eaton, it shouldn't be long. I just need you to push a few more times" I look over at Tobias.
"Sorry" He smiles down at me.
"No worry, Love. Just concentrate on getting the baby out now" he says and places a kis's on my sweaty forehead. I give him a tired smile and give him a little nod.
"i'm gonna need you to push now" the doctor says and bends down slightly, I take a deep breath and push with all of my force. The next minutes is a blur, me screaming in pain and the doctor yelling that she can see the head. Suddenly I hear the most beautiful Sound in the world; a baby crying for the first time.
"It's here" Tobias says with Christmas lights in his eyes.
"She is here" the doctor corrects him, and hand over the little thing.
"A girl... It's a girl" I manage to say. "and you look just like your handsome dad" I add, looking up at him.
"If she is turning out as beautiful as you, I need to buy a shutgun" Tobias says and touch our baby girl's tiny hand.
"Do you have a name for her yet?" The doctor saks with a friendly smile. Tobias and I share a look, and he gives me a little nod.
"Thea Eaton" I say proudly.
"Then welcome Thea Eaton" She says, touching the baby's forehead carefully. "I will leave you two alone now" the nurse and the doctor leave, and for a moment we just sit there watching our child in silence.
"We did good" Tobias says and leans in to kiss me on the lips. "JesuS it was worse this time, I think you almost broke my hand" he says moving his fingers. I let out a tired laugh and grab his hand, placing a few kisses over his knuckles.
"Sorry, but it's only fair that you feel a lityls pain too"
for a moment he just sits and smiles widely at me.
"Why are you so smily? Besides the fact that we just had our second child?"
"I just realised how happy it made me, when the doctor called you Mrs. Eaton"
I smile back at him, trying to show all my love in that smile. I look down at our baby daughter, knowing that it's only a matter of time before the room will be filled with people, who wants to see the little angel.
But right now I just want to just want to enjoy the moment with my loved husband.
So that was it... there is at least going to be one more chapter... Maybe two :)
