Next time I woke up it was from a nightmare. Peter had found out about Rose and kidnapped her. I never saw her again. My dream showed me getting older and older and me never finding her. I woke up with tears streaming down my face.
When I looked at the clock it read 3:00am. I looked down to see Rose still asleep, she has this crease in her eyebrows when she's having a dream I've noticed. After about a half hour of just watching her, not able to fall back to sleep. I got up and went downstairs to get a drink of water.
After I put pillows all around Rose like a blockade so she could roll of the bed or something, I started down the hallway of the house. The floors creaked as I walked, I felt like I was in a horror movie just waiting for the serial killer to jump out and kill me. Once I got to the stairs, every step creaked as I stepped down on them.
The floors creaked all the way to the kitchen and then stopped. I turned on the light and reached up to get a glass from the cupboard, unfortunately I was too short and I'd have to claim on the counter to get them. As I started to claim the counter I reached for the glass, when another person from behind me reached and got the glass for me.
I nearly shrieked and almost fell if it wasn't for him. I turned around and discovered that 'him' was Four.
"What are you doing up this early?!" I said trying to keep my voice low, but I was still mad at him for scaring me so it was kind of hard.
"Same as you, getting something to drink." He said.
"We'll couldn't you have done that without making me scream and nearly falling of the counter?"
"No." He said with a smirk.
I grabbed my glass and went to the sink and got some water, I turned around and leaned against the counter.
"So, what are you doing up this early?" He asked.
"I had a nightmare and couldn't go back to sleep."
"Oh, is that why your crying?"
"Yeah." I said tears starting to run down my face. I crouched down on the floor and started crying again.
"Hey hey hey, no need to cry. Shh it's going to be okay." He said sitting on the floor with me.
He awkwardly patted my back, but it didn't help. Soon he realized this and collected me in his arms, and just rocked me, whispering calming words as I cried.
After about 5 minutes of crying I got it together and stopped crying and looked up at Four who was looking at me too, but I didn't see pity in his eyes, I saw something different. Admiration? Love? I don't know. But something was their in his eyes.
Then all the sudden I was laughing "I'm sorry. I don't know why I'm laughing." Immediately I stopped laughing and looked up at the ceiling, the floors creaked as someone was awake an walking on them.
I stood up and wiped my tears with the balls of my hands and turned to face him.
"Do I look like I've been crying?" I asked kind of pitifully.
"No Tris, you look tuff as nails." He said with a smile.
"I'm going to go back to bed and try to get some more sleep before Rose wakes up."
"Okay we'll I'll see you in the morning." I look at him oddly, "Not what I met I'll see you later in the morning." His looked down with cheeks flushed. I just smiled and said a quiet goodbye and ran up the stairs.
Still in the bed where I left her, surrounded by pillows is Rose, still asleep. I gently move the pillows around her and lift her up in my arms and lay back on the bed with her in my arms where nothing can harm her.

When I awake, it's not how I planned to wake up. It's 5:30 and I can hear Uriah yelling at something downstairs. I look down at Rose and see her big green eyes looking all around the room. I can tell by the way she's not half asleep she's been up for awhile.
"We'll hello baby girl." She stopped looking around the room and looked at me and smiled the smile only I can make her do. "Wanna go downstairs?" She smiled even wider. "I'll take that as a yes."
I stand up and put my hair in a bun and pick up Rose. As I walk downstairs I can hear a cartoon going on and several people talking.
When I get to the living room I see Uriah still in footy pajamas, Zeke eating peanut butter and Four dressed and eating a apple.
"Hey Trissy! I got peanut butter." Zeke said with a mouth full of peanut butter.
"Hey Zeke, still rocking those footy pajamas I see Uriah. Hey Four."
Four gives me a small wave and Uriah just stars at the tv. I sit on the floor next to Uriah and lay Rose on her back. She looks around and takes up the hole room. She found the tv and won't stop looking at it. I stand up and go to the kitchen and get a bottle from fridge and warm it up with hot water. Once it's ready go back to the living room and feed Rose who happily takes it.
Four comes up and sits next to me and says, "She's really cute Tris, you did good."
"Thank you. I couldn't live without her."
"Umm can I um hold her?" He asks nervously.
"Sure." I pick up Rose an hand her to Four.
He takes her and just looks at her like she's the best thing in the world.
He holds her for a while, he makes her smile and laugh. Once he's done holding her and puts her back in my arms she still stares at him contently, her green eyes meeting his blue eyes. He smiled and kissed her head. A flash went off and we both looked up from Rose. Hanna, Uriah and Zeke are all looking at us. Zeke took a picture of Four and Rose. Four looked down with a deep red on his cheeks.
"I want a picture of that Zeke." I said smiling.
"Okay but only if I get a copy." He said almost laughing.
"Time to go to school boys." Hanna said.
Uriah jumped up and grabbed his backpack and ran out the door with his footy pajamas still on. Zeke is right behind him but he's dressed. Four's the last to go, he throws the rest of his apple away and says bye and walks out the door.
"We'll why don't you go get dressed and we'll go to the store and get everything you need so we can get that out of the way." Hanna suggests.
"Okay." I say I stand up and walk up stairs.

"What about this one?" Hanna asked about clothes for Rose. She kept picking out the pinkest clothing for her.
"No. I will not having my daughter wearing that much pink." I said.
"Fine." She mumbled.
I had almost everything I needed besides a crib. We walk to the crib aisle and pick out a green and orange one, it turns into a play area for when she get older.
"I'll be right back I'm going to go et things to make for breakfast." I say.
"Okay Hun."
When I get to the milk aisle I hurry and get my items, with Rose in my arms it's kind of hard. Once I get all my items I walk down the aisle to Hanna when I hear a voice, a voice I know to well. "Hey, stiff."
