Chapter 29

"Hey there little ones!" He coos.

I close my eyes and tune into the movement and feels of the present.

Live in the moment.

"Tris…. Tris." I wake to Tobias' whispers.

I flutter my eyes open.

"Hey." I groan.

I stretch my arms out and yawn.

"Whats up?" I ask.

"Breakfast."

I nod and throw the sheets over me.

"Nah its okay. I'll get it." He leans down and kisses me.

"How about with get brunch in the cafeteria?" I yawn out.

"Sure sweetie." Tobias smiles.

"Snuggle first?"

"You don't even have to ask."

Tobias comes over and lays next to me.

I turn to face him and he caresses my cheek.

I shuffle in and rest my head on his shoulder.

I smell his manly scent and he wraps his arms around me.

He kisses my forehead and picks me up.

"Lets go eat mama." He says as I squeal and fling around.

He cranes his head and kisses my stomach.

He heads towards the door, locks it and we walk to the cafeteria

We immediately spot the gang and walk over.

"Hey guys." I hum.

The gang greet us back.

I see that Shaunna is missing.

I look over at Christina who has her cheeks full of blueberry muffin.

"Sweetie, you might wanna slow down." Will says as he tries lowering the muffin.

Christina slaps his hand away and growls.

The whole group snicker.

"Chris? You okay?" I ask.

"Yeah I'm fine." She scoffs.

"Are you sure?" I question.

She sneers and her nostrils flare.

"UGH! Just leave me alone!" She storms out of the cafeteria.

Will begins to get up.

"No, i'll go." I say as I stand up.

"Are you sure?" Will asks.

"Yeah she needs somebody that will understand her." I say as I clutch my stomach.

He chuckles and nods.

I jog to catch up with her.

I walk out to the chasm and I see her leaning against the rail.

"Chris!" I shout.

She turns around to look at me.

I see tears streaming down her face.

"Hey, whats wrong?"

She sniffles and I give her a hug.

"Hey, It's okay." I try to calm her.

"Will… Just does…." She sniffles.

She takes a deep breath and sighs.

"Will just doesn't understand." She clearly speaks.

"What do you mean?" I ask while i push stray hairs from her face.

"He doesn't understand how hard it is. You know, the cravings, hormones, morning sickness. He thinks its just one big joke."

I give her a pitiful smile and a hug.

She begins to sob again.

"Shhhh…. Its okay." I soothe.

"You have Tobias. He's so caring and protective of you. Will… Will just isn't." She explains.

I'm so lucky and grateful to have him.

"Hey," I pull her face so i can look her in the eye. "I'll talk to him for you. Okay?"

"Okay." She nods and wipes her eyes clear.

We wait a minute before going back in.

"UGH! I just don't know what to do!" Shaunna shouts.

We sit back down with the rest of the group.

Tobias grips my thigh and my body freaks.

Damn, I'm horny.

Tobias must of read my mind because when i smile back at him he winks.

I have to find an excuse to get home asap.

"Whats wrong?" Chris asks Shaunna.

She must of came in while we were out.

And she's brought a surprise.

A baby.

"Well my aunty has just dumped my little niece on me tonight while Zeke and I were going to go to a party tonight." Shaunna explains.

"Hey. Its okay, there will be other parties." Zeke calms.

Then i get an idea.

I snap my head at Tobias and i have a huge grin on my face.

He raises his eyebrows at me in confusion.

"We'll take her!" I chirp.

"Wait Tris, what?" Tobias asks.

"Yeah, it will be good practice!" I say.

"Are you sure Tris?" Shaunna asks excitement in her eyes.

"Yup." I confirm with a nod.

"Okay, her name is Lily, she's 3 months old and everything that you need is in the bottom of the pram. Wait, you guys have a cot right? Okay and if she cries she's either shat her pants, sleepy or hungry. When she's hungry add water to the milk powder and test it on your wrist and theres nappies and call us if theres anything wrong. We'll come pick her up in the morning. Holla!" Shaunna quickly spurges out.

"Yeah, everything should be fine." i answer.

"Tris, you are a life saviour! I love you! Mwah!" She kisses my cheek and her and Zeke and gone.

"Urrr… Well then." Uriah states.

I feel Tobias stroke my thigh.

I look at Tobias saying Lets get out of here!

He nods and i quickly stand up.

"Ummm, well we better get this little one settled in." I spurt.

"Yeah she's right." Tobias adds.

"Bye guys!" I say as i wheel Lily out with Tobias following me.

We get back to the apartment and i wheel Lily into the house.

She's fast asleep.

I spin on my heels to face Tobias.

"Fuck I'm horny." I state.

"Oh my god me too." He agrees.

He runs at me and kisses me.

My hands roam across his body.

We back up against the wall.

I jump up and wrap my legs around his waist.

I run short of breath and pull my head back.

He moves onto my neck and finds a nerve.

"Mmmm. Yeah Tobias right there!" I moan.

"You like that?" Tobias growls.

"Mmhmm." I sigh.

He runs us into the bedroom and lays me down on the bed.

He stands and i have my legs wrap around his waist.

We both rip our tops off.

I reach behind and fiddle around with my bra until it comes off.

Tobias leans down, kisses my forehead, nose, chin, neck, chest and stomach.

He works his way but up and stops at my neck.

I moan again.

"Oh yeah…"

And then something i didn't want to hear.

Lily.

Crying.

"Ugh get used to this."
