TOMMY: CHAPTER 8: We need to talk
Tommy left Captain Pineda with his squad, and he went back to his house. It seemed to be getting dark. Tommy arrived at his house. "Ellie we need to talk." Tommy said.
Ellie had turned 15 already. The day of her birthday she felt really sad that Joel couldn't be there.
"Comin'" Ellie replied.
Tommy sat down on the dining table and waited for Ellie to come down the stairs. Ellie came down the stairs with jeans, and a black shirt with a skull on it. "What's up Tommy?" Ellie asked.
"Today, you probably heard about the clicker attack." Tommy said.
"Yeah" Ellie said.
"Texan soldiers came today… They aided us, and showed us what they can do. If it wasn't for them, we could still be fighting them at this moment."
"Texan soldiers, like from Texas" Ellie interrupted.
"Yeah, they made an offer that really is hard to say no to."
"What's the offer?" Ellie asked.
"Protection, guns, training, supplies, and food. All for you." Tommy said.
Ellie hesitated and said, "No. I'm not leaving, what happens if Joel comes back."
"I thought you wanted this, before Joel went missing, he told me himself that you wanted to get to the Fireflies. Don't want to hurt your feelings, Ellie, but I don't think Joel is coming back. He's been gone for about a year. Please, Ellie I need to do this for us." Tommy looked back at Ellie, then he notice that tears were building up in Ellie's eyes. Ellie nodded,
"I'll do it" she said. Ellie hugged Tommy for some time, Tommy liked the feeling.
Afterwards Tommy thanked Ellie what she had done. Tommy realized after what just happened, he knew what he wanted, a kid. He went up the stairs into his room, where Maria was. "Maria" he began, "I want to have a baby"
Maria began to cry with tears of joy, she had been trying to convince him to have a baby. And now she got what she wanted.
