Chapter 35
The call to Eric's parents went as well as they had been expecting, lots of name calling and degrading statements about them both before Eric hung up on them and blocked their number from calling the house again. With Tris living with him and the girls, Eric was now starting to look at Wedding rings to propose to Tris with. Both of their girls were excited for their new sibling and when they walked on the streets, they got some strange looks. Tris was so tiny compared to him she was sometimes considered a minor still and with their two girls, one blonde and the other a red head earned them some remarks as well. They ignored it all though and went on like usual. Tris and Eric used the pool more often now that Tris had told people about her pregnancy, and they started doing Yoga to make up for the lack of other exercise they were not getting otherwise.
Tris started showing in time for the new school year to hit and she and the girls kept up their weekly Friday visits to the school to see Eric. Max and Veronica were both happy to see Tris, and when Tris ventured over to the erudite buildings Jeanine was pleased to both see her and find out about the expected baby. Even her doctor appointments went well and Tris and Eric decided that they were going to do a gender reveal at the baby shower. It was fun trying to plan the shower with neutral colors so no one guessed. Most of the colors were yellow and green like the nursery.
"I don't want to know if we are having a girl or a boy." Eric said as he drove Tris to the store following their latest check-up, the girls spending the night with Natalie and Andrew.
"Me either, but this way we will find out the same time as everyone else." Tris said resting her hand on Eric's as he stopped at the red light the two of them smiling at each other.
"I'm looking forward to knowing at the same time. Then maybe we can get some gender specific colors and names picked out." Eric said as Tris smiled at their linked fingers.
"Well I always like the name Salazar for a boy, and Eve for a girl" Tris said as Eric started driving again.
"Octavius and Lottie are mine but Salazar sounds better than Octavius." Eric admitted as Tris tilted her head to the side.
"I like Lottie too. So if we have a girl we can name her Lottie and if we have a boy his name can be Salazar." Tris offered as Eric smiled and parked.
"I like it." Eric stated as they got out of the truck and walked into the store together, Eric grabbing the large box from the back of the truck.
"Hi we were hoping to buy some balloons for this weekend?" Tris asked softly rubbing her baby bump slowly as Eric wrapped his arm around her.
"Sure is there anything in particular that you were looking for?" The girl asked as she smiled at the couple.
"Well it's our baby shower then and we were hoping that after we left and paid that you would open this and fill it with the correct color of balloons." Tris trailed off as the girls face lit up.
"We can do that for sure. Is this the box that you want used?" as she walked behind the register and Tris leaned against Eric's chest as he rubbed his hand over her back.
"Please, can we also have them on a weight? We are surprising not only ourselves but our family." Eric said calmly as the girl smiled and started typing things into her register and pulled up the cost for the balloon bouquet.
"When would you like to pick it up?" Tris and Eric looked at each other silently communicating before Eric looked back at the girl again.
"Saturday at noon, the Baby shower is at one so that would be best." Eric said as he paid and Tris handed over the envelope with the results.
"See you then and congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Coulter." The girl said as they left the store. Tris blushing slightly as Eric helped her back into the truck.
"Everyone assumes we are married already," Tris said as she got comfortable and Eric shrugged his shoulders.
"Is that a bad thing?"
"No.. I just guess I rather have the facts straight." Tris said rubbing her bump again, something Eric was noticing as a nervous trait of hers ever since she started to show.
"Well we can always look at rings "Eric offered not letting it slip that he already had a ring picked out thanks to the girls help.
"Maybe after Lottie or Salazar is born. I don't really want to walk down the aisle pregnant." Tris said softly glancing over at Eric.
"Are you eager to get married? I mean after Suzanne I thought you would be a little more hesitant about it."
"I was, until I started dating you. I think you're amazing, we are raising two little girls together, and we have one on the way. I want to be able to give you the stability and knowledge that I'm not going anywhere." Eric said as he took Tris's hand in his. Tris smiled at Eric before leaning over and kissing his cheek.
By the time, the baby shower rolled around Tris was excited. She and the girls had made cookies and cupcakes and Eric had planned to BBQ for their family and friends coming. Caleb was getting their balloons for them and Natalie and Andrew had showed up and started decorating as Tris worked around in the kitchen. Her friends showed up and started helping with the decorating or bbqing outside in the back as the two girls played with the small playground Eric had put in for them. She was nervous to finding out if they were going to have a little Lottie or a Little Salazar.
"How are you feeling? Pestering Eric with any weird cravings yet?" Andrew asked as he joined Tris in the kitchen.
"Not yet. The strangest was peanut butter and pickles, and you know I hate pickles with a passion." Tris said as Andrew chuckled and took the plates Tris had prepared.
"I can't say I enjoyed that stage. I don't like pickles any more than she does." Eric said coming to the door.
"Caleb is here now and Max just arrived with his wife. Suzanne and Dragon are on their way. They said they were running behind. Everyone else is here." Eric said placing a gentle kiss on Tris's cheek, his one hand rubbing her stomach gently. He was almost as excited as Tris was to find out the gender of their baby.
"I think we can wait until they arrive before revealing the gender." Tris said as they walked out onto the patio with the snacks. Tris moved to start her rounds as a good hostess should as Eric took over at the BBQ again, Suzanne and Dragon walking into the backyard with a present and a casually dressed Jeanine Mathews.
"Suzanne, Dragon!" Tris said warmly greeting them before she smiled and gave Jeanine a hug.
"It's so nice to see you Miss Mathews." Tris said as she pulled back.
"Please, you're not a student anymore. Call me Jeanine." The older blonde said, as she looked her former student over. Tris looked healthy and more importantly happy. She was wearing a t-shirt that said mommy-to-be, and Eric was in a daddy-to-be one across the backyard.
"Were you assaulted by Dragon and Suzanne?" Tris asked as she led the way over to the table.
"Goodness no, I asked them to stop by to pick up the gift I had for you but they insisted I come and give it to you myself and that you wouldn't mind." Jeanine said as she set the gift down on the table with the others.
"Eric and I don't mind at all." Tris said as she spotted her parents making their way over. Leaving them to talk Tris was passing by the box when Eric appeared at her side.
"Do you want to do it now or wait a little while longer?" Eric asked softly his hand on her back as they both looked at the box. The girls were now cuddled up with Tris's parents but eying the box, wondering when it was going to be opened.
"Now, before the girls start getting grumpy." Tris said gently as Eric handed Tris the small pair of scissors he had placed in his pocket for the occasion.
"Everyone, Tris and I would like to thank you for coming out today, and I know you are all anxious maybe not as much as Tris and I, to find out the gender of our baby, if we are going to have a little girl whom we will name Lottie, or a little boy whom we will name Salazar." Eric said as Tris cut the tape holding the Box closed carefully her hand resting on the top of the box to keep it from opening.
"1, 2, 3" Tris said she let it go the box opening and the balloons rising out of the box and stopping their assent from the weight holding it down.
"To little Salazar, may he be as smart and talented as both of his parents." Jeanine said lifting her glass in a toast, watching as Eric's arms wrapped around Tris and held her tight, both of them smiling softly.
"I love all three women in my life, but my son and I will have to stick together." Eric said causing laughter as Tris smacked his arm lightly, but the smile on her face dispelled any real anger.
The rest of the party was a great success, and everyone got along wonderfully. They had all they needed for Salazar when he was born, everything in neutral colors. The twins had bought a gift together that proved they loved her when it was revealed as a hand carved wooden rocker for the house. Will had taken several photos and made a series of sets for them with extra frames for more. Jeanine's had surprised and touched them both with the knitted blanket she had made. Suzanne had bought music tapes to play to relax both Tris and the baby when they were restless. Lynn and Uriah had gotten together and made a customizable family tree, and Andrew, Natalie and Caleb had gotten several outfits and a stroller/ carrier combo for them since Eric had admitted that Vivian's was in poor shape.
