"Oh, so could I assume that this is the reason you're opting for caffeine free beverages?" He chuckled handing her back the newest edition of fit pregnancy.

"Yeah, I suppose that would be a fair assessment. Thanks." She told him placing the magazine back on top of her stack.

"Well congratulations. Babies are blessings."

"Oh? Do you have experience with babies?"

"No… Not really. But people say they're blessings… so…"

This made her giggle out and the man smiled at having made her laugh.

"Here let me get the door for you. You have your hands full."

"Oh thank you, that's so kind of you. Have a good evening."

"You too." he said, closing the door behind her while watching her through the windows as she walked down the street.

He went back to wipe down her table and saw that she left her wallet. Quickly he snatched the wallet up and ran out the coffee shop to see if he could catch her and return it, but she was gone. It was like she disappeared through thin air.

He walked back into the doors of crème de la crème, the coffee shop. Walking behind the back of the bar he slipped the mysterious woman's wallet in the lost and found box.

Chapter 24 The Unexpected III

3rd POV

Tris was sitting in the coffee shop, crème de la crème while the seamstress down the block was putting the finishing touches on the bridesmaids dresses. She had offered to pick them up since the girls had went to London for the week on 'business' with Edward and Emmett. She was seated in a corner booth which had a great view of the front entrance and the coffee bar. Perfect for people watching, something Tris indulged in when she ate alone.

A beautiful woman with curly red hair walked into the coffee shop.

"Hi, I was in here the other night and I accidently left my wallet. Do you still happen to have it by any chance?"

"Umm… I believe so… could you tell me the full name on the license please."

"It's Maggie. Maggie Allanah Fitzpatrick."

"Yep. Here you go." The barista handed Maggie the black leather coach wallet.

"Thank you so much." Maggie clutched the wallet to her chest, thankful that she wouldn't have to go through the trouble of cancelling all her cards.

Upon overhearing Maggie's name Tris's eyes got round as saucers. Tris hid behind her cellphone hoping to go unnoticed by the redhead until Maggie turned her body and saw a clearly noticeable baby bump.

Before Tris could register everything fully she was up and walking toward Maggie.

"Maggie? Maggie Fitzpatrick?" Tris asked her. Double checking that this was, in fact, the love of Liam's life. Standing in front of her, pregnant.

PREGNANT. *If this baby is Liam's this could solve all my problems, then I'm free to be with Tobias.* Those were the thoughts running through her head.

"Yes…" Maggie answered her hesitantly.

"My name is Tris Prior." Tris said with her hand extended towards Maggie.

Maggie looked at Tris' outstretched hand and crossed her arms.

"Yes. I know who you are. It's best for everyone that you forget you ever saw me here."

"The baby is… er…Liam's?" Tris said dumbly gesturing to Maggie's stomach and then bringing her fingers to her lips so she could bite her nails in anticipation.

"Why would you think I'm pregnant? I'm a little offended. I think you just called me fat. Now if you will excuse me I would like to be on my way."

Maggie pushed past Tris and headed toward the door. Tris grabbed her purse took out the first bill she could find which happened to be a 50 and slammed it on the table before running after Maggie.

"Maggie, please. Please wait." Tris hollered while speed walking down the street after Maggie.

Thankfully for Tris, Maggie did stop walking.

"No you wait. I don't know why you are so interested in me. I won't be a problem for you ever. Just forget you met me. Go off with Liam and live your life free of worrying about me."

"You misunderstand. Liam loves you. And I love someone else too. Let me explain the situation to you. Please if that baby is Liam's you must come with me and tell him. He will be so happy."

"You don't get it. Since I met Liam I have felt more pain than you can possibly imagine. I was shot which the doctor said would leave me barren and now I am pregnant with not one, but two little miracles. Being with Liam is a hazard and I wish you the best of luck but I don't want to be with someone who can't even stand up to his own father. I did. I really thought I loved Liam until I sat down and processed our relationship. I still wasn't convinced, it wasn't until my first ultrasound that I found out what being in love truly feels like. I would die for them which is why I'm about to board a plane and leave. Go through my pregnancy joyfully, peacefully."

"Please, don't. If you leave I can't marry the guy I've been dating for the past six years. The man I am head over heels in love with. The man I was set to marry, wedding half planned until my father bartered with Marcus for my hand in marriage to Liam. All Marcus wants is a child for Liam. If he finds out you are providing Liam's children, he may let me out of the arrangement."

Tris had tears running down her face and Maggie felt so guilty. She didn't want to be the cause of Tris ending up unhappy but in the end it was either Tris's happiness or Maggie's.

"I'm sorry Tris but I can't. I've been through so much to go back."

"I understand I guess. And I suppose you want me to keep this a secret from Liam?"

"Here hand me your cell phone. I have an idea."

Two weeks later….

3rd POV

Tris and Liam's Wedding Day!

"Bella." Tris called.

"Yeah?"

"Can you do me a favor and go get Liam? I need to see him."

"You can't see him before the wedding. Besides your already in your dress it's bad luck."

"Do you think I give a shit about luck? Just go get him. It's imperative that I speak to him before the ceremony. Please, just go get him."

"Okay, I'm going. Is everything okay?" Bella asked worriedly.

"Bbbeeelllllaaaa… seriously… everything is fine. Can you please just…" Tris huffed out while pointing toward the door.

Bella nodded and walked out the door. She approached the room where the men were getting ready and knocked on the door.

"Is everyone decent?"

Bella heard a chorus of yeah's and slowly opened the door. She saw Edward straightening out his bow tie and went to help him. Once she deemed it prefect she quickly kissed him on he lips and walked over to help Liam who was struggling with tying his tie. Bella quickly took over as if on auto pilot and tied his bow tie.

"The rest of the girls are having mimosas downstairs but Tris asked me if I could come get you. She said and I quote 'it's imperative that I speak to him before the ceremony.' She did seem a little off to me though. Just a heads up." Liam nodded at Bella and kissed her cheek.

Walking out of the room Liam could hear James call to Bella.

"Bells, get your ass over here and do a shot with us."

Chuckling Liam walked down the long hall and knocked on the door where Tris was getting ready.

Tris opened the door and Liam gave her a half smile.

"You look very beautiful Tris."

"Yeah, listen. About two weeks ago I ran into Maggie at a coffee shop. We talked and she recorded a message for you on my cell phone for you to watch before the ceremony. You have no idea how hard it has been to keep this quiet but I abided by her wishes so here you go all you have to do is press play. And no I haven't watched it."

Liam cautiously took the cell phone and could see Maggie's face hidden behind the play button.

Liam stared at the phone and back to Tris who was wearing a 'what are you waiting for' facial expression.

Liam rested his arms on his thighs and pressed play.

Maggie appeared on the screen smiling.

"Liam if you are watching this then today is your wedding day. I have some news I am about to disclose to you. I don't know how to say it. If I should rip it off like a band aid or ease into it. I've always preferred the band aid method. I hope you're sitting down. So here it goes. I'm pregnant… with twins…" she moved the camera to capture her small baby bump.

"pretty big belly for only being 14 weeks pregnant. I also have my sonogram here if you need extra proof. Although I don't know why I would lie to you." She panned the camera to her sonogram pictures that showed her name and date and the two little alien like creatures in the picture. Liam put his hand over his mouth as a gasp escaped his lips.

"it's amazing. I look at the pictures every night before bed. My little miracles. I wake up in the middle of the night sometimes thinking this is all just a dream. I was told, we were told I would never have any children, and I'm fixing to have two of them. It's surreal. Anyway, Tris told me what happened and why you are getting married. This isn't right Liam. And I'm not saying this because I think we should be together. In fact after I make this video I'm packing my things so Tris can't tell you how to find me. I know these are your kids too but I'm honestly afraid. I get hurt every time I'm near you. I know it's unfair to blame the shooting on you, but part of me does, as irrational as that is. I blame you for my treatment afterwards. I blame you for letting your father rule over our relationship. I blame you for making me miss my best friends weddings because I couldn't bear to see you. I blame you for making Tris marry you because you couldn't stand up to your daddy and tell him no. I want to spend the rest of my pregnancy feeling safe and peaceful. After I deliver I will come back and we can discuss visitation. You can thank your soon to be wife. If I'm being honest I had no plans to tell you of my pregnancy before I bumped into her. Even if you were to tell your father to shove it and let Tris out of this ridiculously arrangement, it would still be a while before I let you back into my life romantically. Tris said you love me but I just can't see it. I thought I did during that night we spent together but after going over every minute of our relationship I just can't see that you were anything more than in lust with me. Well I have to go. I have a ride to catch. I guess I will see you in roughly 20 to 25 weeks. Take care."

The video stopped and Liam wanted more.

"You knew Maggie was pregnant?" Liam shouted angrily.

"Yeah I've been walking around with that secret for almost two weeks now. But Liam I think you should let her go through her pregnancy in peace like she asked for."

Liam looked at Tris in disgust and shot up out of his chair with Tris's cellphone still in his hand.

"Where are you going?"

"You can take your dress off. You won't be needing it today. The wedding is off. Consider your fathers debt paid in full." Liam said as he slammed the door to Tris's room.

Tris felt bad knowing Liam was upset but did a little happy dance knowing that Maggie's plan was working. Tris gathered her belongings and headed outside to catch a taxi. Tobias was already waiting for her at City Hall ready to elope.
