Wanting Pancakes:

'Dad!' Trinity said happily going into the kitchen at eight o'clock the next morning.

'Hey. You feeling better?'

'Yea, and thanks for coming over and for the animal.'

'Oh don't mention it. I like spoiling you!' Tristan said patting her back and turning away from the tea pot.

'is mom awake yet?'

'I don't know. You wanna go check?'

'Sure.' Trinity walked over to her moms room and opened the door screaming in surprise when Rory was standing there. Tristan ran to see what happened. He saw both of them holding their chests, laughing and catching their breath.

'What happened?' he asked.

'I didn't think she would be coming out of the bedroom. She just scared me.'

'Okay, oh and good morning Rory.' Tristan said.

'Yea thanks! Trinity, how are you?'

'I'm doing well. God, I really puked my guts out last night. You know Tammy's mom is pregnant and she said that her mom pukes everyday!' Rory lifted her eyebrows and turned to Tristan for help.

'Yea, it's something the body does.'

'But why?'

'Umm, Tristan a little help?'

'I have no idea.' Tristan said smirking.

'Did you throw up everyday, mom?'

'Me? Yea, you wouldn't let me stop!'

'I think it would be neat to be pregnant. Carrying a baby.'

'Trinity, you are too young to be thinking of that!' Rory said cringing. Trinity shrugged and sat down at the kitchen table. Rory and Tristan followed throwing each other glances. They sat down at the table too.

'Hey, why do people find it so odd that you're only 26 and most are already 40?'

'Umm, because people normally don't have kids as young as me and your mom.'

'But mom, grandma had you really early too.'

'Grandma didn't mean for it to happen, neither did I, but we are both very happy that we decided to keep our child.'

'You didn't mean for it to happen? How is that possible?'

'Okay Trinity I'm gonna explain something to you, but I wont go into too much detail of the child thing until you're older, but ummm—'

'Rory are you gonna tell her about "growing up"?'

'Partly I guess.'

'Do I wanna be here for that?' he asked lowering his eyebrows.

'How about if you just sit there and watch me struggle?'

'Okay....' He said not really wanting to be there for the facts of going into "womanhood".

'Now Trinity as a girl gets older, their bodies start to mature. They obviously get taller, they get more feminine bodies and curves, and things start to happen to their bodies to get them ready for adulthood. Any questions so far?'

'Yea, why does dad look tortured?' she asked looking her dad who was sitting looking at the table through the space between his hands.

'Because different things happen to boys and he doesn't enjoy hearing about this girly stuff.'

'Oh, so should he go?'

'Well, I would make him go, but I was not very prepared to talk to you about this and with your dad her, I feel more comfortable.'

'Oh.' Was all Trinity could say. Tristan laughed, he was being tortured, that was true, but Rory enjoyed it.

'Yes, so girls go through a time in their lives called puberty and well this is when girls turn into young women and boys well, they'll stay boys until you reach about seventh grade and then you'll call them guys probably, but that can get confusing because girls are also called guys...'

'Your rambling, Rory.' Tristan said.

'Right, so girls go through this time before guys, it's just the facts, and when girls go through this time, they get what is called a menstrual cycle. It comes about every 21 or so days and you have it for a week.'

'What happens?'

'You get very moody and annoyed at people.' She said not wanting to go into farther detail.

'Oh, okay, I still don't understand, but that's okay.'

'you'll understand as you get older, of course if you're a boy than they'll just blame it PMS which isn't very nice but what can we do?'

'That's it?' Tristan asked lifting his head up after no one talked for a few minutes.

'Well, she'll learn all this next year! Why spoil her fun?'

'You're not spoiling it mom.'

'Well I'm not good at explaining it so...'

'I forgive you.'

'Good.' Rory and Tristan were debated with their minds when to bring up the topic of dating each other and Chilton. Rory took leap.

'Hey Trinity, me and your dad actually wanted to talk to you about something.'

'Okay, I'm listening.'

'Okay, You remember Nick?'

'Yea, I didn't like him.'

'I know, but you remember how we used to do stuff together and Jess or Dave or someone would watch you?'

'Yea, why?'

'Well, me and your dad we talking and we thought it would be nice to do that again after all these years.'

'Yea mean date?'

'Yes, date, and we just wanted to know what you thought of that, and if there were any reason that we couldn't keep doing that, that you would be able to understand.'

'Why are you asking me?'

'We wanna make sure it's okay with you Trinity.' Tristan said gently.

'Yea, but if he's like Zack, you have to promise not to let it go farther.'

'I promise. So you're okay with this?'

'I am. I want to you to be together and for dad to spend the night everyday.'

'Oh, but that's probably not gonna change much, it just means you'll be seeing maybe a lot more of your dad.'

'Does this mean you're gonna kiss too?'

'Yea, probably.' Rory said smiling, and squeezing Tristan's hand.

'Okay.' She said smiling. She got up and hugged her parents.

'Camp starts on Monday also, okay?'

'Yup. Will you be taking me?'

'Probably not, I'm gonna try and get into the office sooner and out sooner, so I can spend more time with you.'

'Okay, dad when do you work?'

'I'm gonna work starting in the fall, so don't worry about me.' He said smiling. Tristan trained and done schooling to be a physical therapist and help people with injuries mainly from sports.

'Oh okay.'

'I'll probably be taking you to camp, instead or your mom. Is that okay?'

'Yea, I should spend more time with you anyway because we still don't really know each other that well.'

'Sounds good, now, how's your stomach feeling?'

'It's fine, I actually feel really good.'

'That's good, come here.' he said summoning her. He felt her forehead.

'Looks like, or feels like my doctor powers have once again proved good.' He said taking his hand off her.

'I'm hungry.' Trinity said.

'Okay, you want some toast, or Jello?' he asked.

'Can you make pancakes?'

'Yes, when you're better. Right now you should eat light foods. Others might irritate your stomach. She looked at her mom for support.

'Sorry, but I cant make pancakes. '

'I know I would've stopped you but dad can!!'

'Hey I don't want you to puke again! You eat what he says you should eat and maybe later he'll make you pancakes, plus he probably didn't bring any mix.'

'Thank you Rory.' Tristan said.

'Fine, I'll have toast.' She giving up.

'That's my girl.' He said turning and getting some bread.

Trinity started camp that Monday and was having a lot of fun. Rory was working a lot of hours and taking a few Fridays of to sleep. About three weeks had passed and Trinity and Tristan saw each other a lot more. They would play a game or something while he waited for Rory to finish before he took her out. The babysitter would just sit there useless until the two had left.

I'll update soon. :0)
