Life at home was… Nice. I mean it was just like before. We both had our space. I slept in the living room and she slept in the bedroom. Most days I was in school working on my Thesis. TOri worked as a waitress still and went on auditions. She was still very small and didn't show. She and Andre recorded on her off nights, which meant I was alone a lot.

My scholarships were running out and I was looking at becoming homeless pretty soon if I didn't come up with something. One night as I was editing my movie I realized that I could probably chop it up by five minute increments and upload it to Facetube as a web series. I threw myself into developing the series… and the next as long as I could keep in touch with my College team.

That night, Tori walked into the house. My area was sprawling with my storyboards, notes and empty cans of Peppy Cola. She stopped at the edge of the living room blinked at the mess and sighed. I knew what that meant and I stopped everything I was doing to pay attention to her. "I understand that what you are doing is exciting. But not all of us have the luxury of rich mommies and daddies, and scholarships to pay our way." she said.

I sat up straighter trying not to react to her snarky comment. She knows I am not relying on daddy. Daddy's money is tucked away somewhere where I have not touched it and all of this is from my very own efforts and achievements. "What is your point?"

"Get a job Jade… we can't live with Michelle forever."

"Well I am working… really hard this is going to work." I said finishing up the editing on the first episode. I wanted to have several in the can before I set my channel and started monetizing it. Premiere was only a week and a half away on graduation day.

"FaceTube isn't going to pay a lot." she said.

"We are leaving on vacation the day after graduation Tori. I can't get one right now, and leave to travel with you for most of the month." I said starting the save and walking over to my wife. I wrapped my arms around her and sighed. "What is really your problem?"

"I told him."

I raised my brows. "I thought we would tell him together. Ask him to let me adopt the baby."

"He made me so angry Jade I didn't even think about asking him that." Tori said putting her head on my shoulder.

"What did he say?" I asked.

"He said it was your problem now," She answered. "Since you want to play house with me you should deal with it."

"Okay." I said and kissed her forehead. "What is the problem then?"

"He pointed out that we are both starving artists…"

"I'm not starving." I said and lifted her chin up. "I still haven't touched my trust fund Tori, we will be fine."

"For how long?" She asked.

I sighed and smiled. "When we get back from Europe, do you want to buy a house in the hills?"

"Jade… How much is in that trust fund?" She asked shocked.

"Enough," I said and kissed her lips softly. "Relax, okay?"

She smiled and held me close. "When are you moving into the room with me?"

We hadn't had much time to date. I haven't been courted really we have been so busy. I scrunch up my nose. "It's just… we've had two dates since we got married Tori."

She sighed. "We haven't really seen each other. What are you doing right now?" she asked. I looked at my pearbook, then back at her. I bit my lip and prayed that the video would render faster. Or at least continue to do so while she and I went out.

"Waiting for paint to dry." I said

"Well Rich girl, how much money do you have available right now?" She asked. I smirked. It was an off pay week, but she often carried tips on her. if she was asking it probably wasn't much. My last disbursement check from my scholarships sat on the kitchen table unopened because that was what I planned to use for Europe. But I at least had enough for the next week.

"A hundred," I said.

"That is it?" She asked.

"I live on a shoestring. Saving up for an expensive life Tori." I retorted.

"Well the movies is out." Tori said.

"We can watch Netflix." I said.

"Nosu to go?" she asked.

"Sounds great." answered. She took my hand and we walked to the restaurant as it was not far from our place. Hand in hand, snuggled close we walked to a place filled with our youthful memories. The place where we had our first unofficial date, back when we hated each other. "Karaoke?" I asked when we entered the place.

She smiled and pulled me over to the DJ. Before we ordered our food we sang three songs to the delight of the audience. and two more while we waited for our orders to go. We walked out of there all smiles. "Tor?"

"Hmmm?" she asked.

"I don't think you can eat this." I said pulling out my phone. I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before. This food is raw. I had heard something about raw meats and pregnancy in passing. of course I didn't pay attention but I'd had a scare once and I remember reading something to beck and being angry that I might not be able to drink coffee or eat sushi. I found sushi and pregnancy and sighed. we stopped in front of Inside Out Burger and headed inside.

She ordered a ridiculous amount of food. I laughed at how much but I was sure she could eat it. She has always had a hearty appetite. We went home and ate our food as we watched Frozen. It was the first time I had stopped to watch this movie. Elsa and Ana were a lot like Tori and I and we chuckled at the comparison. I would pause the movie and ask Tori what she would say in that situation, and most of the time she would get it right. I got all of Elsa's lines.

"This is my new Favorite Disney movie." I said.

"We have never deconstructed a movie like that." Tori stated. "It was fun."

"See, you can't do that in a theater." I said.

"Sure you can… You'd just get thrown out after the first thirty minutes." she answered, and we laughed. "I love you." She whispered putting her head in the crook of my neck.

"I love you too." I whispered.

"I'm Horney." She said chuckling.

I laughed, throwing my head back. I had finally gotten to a point where I could control myself with her, and I knew that it will all fall apart the day I let her touch me like that again. "Tor… I need to keep my self control."

"Why? we are newly wed Jade." Tori said. "I understand that you want to get wooed. a lot of people do the third date thing when you get in bed on the third date. This is our third… fourth if you count our First Nozu date."

"But-"

"We Know each other intimately. Torturing ourselves like this its…" She stopped because I know what she was going to say, and before I realized I loved her, I might have been hurt and acted offended that she would call me stupid.

I looked around the living room. I began to pick up my work. All the paper and storyboards. I saw that my Video had rendered and It was ready to upload. So I turned off my Pear book. Tori watched me silently as I cleaned up my mess. when I was done, I picked up my Pillow and walked away. "I'm going to bed."

Tori's eyes widened and she stood. "Our bed?"

"Yes." I said and opened our bedroom door.

"YES!" I heard her shout. I could see her dancing around the living room in my minds eye. I rolled my eyes and began to undress. My wife was right. It was stupid.
