A/N Yo yo yoie vote for Zoey! Anyway I haven't updated in like 40 years and I'm so sorry. I haven't had alot ideas or inspiration for this story lately so yeah. Plus I've had alot of dance classes because I am in seven dances for my recital and I'm so tired. I feel bad so please forgive me. I love you all! Thank you and enjoy!
I wake up feeling extremely rested and I'm curious as to why, when I feel something behind me and wrapped around my waist. Slowly I turn around and find Tobias's sleeping face. Guess that answers my question. The worse thing is though, I can decide if I'm glad our angry. A soft cry comes from Lillian's room so I carefully detach myself from Tobias's arms and go into Lillian's room. Strangely enough, I don't remember ever waking up to feed her or anything. How could she have possible slept through the entire night at only a few months old.
"Hey Lilly," I say while picking Lillian and her stuffed duck out of her crib. I then nurse her before changing her out of her dry pajamas. She didn't even wet her diaper? I hear the coffee machine turn on in the kitchen and find Tobias making us coffee. I gasp. "I can't believe you. I let you stay here for free and you try and steal my coffee." Tobias rolls his eyes and continues what he's doing.
"After last night, I deserve to steal coffee." he chuckles.
"What happened last night?" I ask him, while sitting on the counter with Lillian happily playing with the end of my hair.
"Well Lillian woke me up crying a couple times and you didn't even flinch." he tells me. "Sometimes she would just cry and as soon as I picked her up she'd fall back asleep."
"Thank you for doing, Tobias. She usually wakes me up. Hell, sometimes I think she's crying and I wake up but it's just the air conditioner or something." Tobias laughs and hands me my cup of coffee.
"She is my daughter too, so I feel biologically inclined to help her every whim." he puts forth. Lillian reaches her arms out and Tobias smoothly takes her from me. "It'd be easier if she wasn't such an attention hog." Tobias grins.
"At least she's not like William. He's the loudest wailer you'll ever hear." can't fight the truth.
"William?"
"Christina's son," Tobias nods and starts sipping his coffee. When I say I'm going to go get ready, he volunteers to keep Lillian with him. Before I go back to my room, I admire the sight of a shirtless Tobias cradling Lillian. While I'm putting on my makeup, I hear a girlish scream and someone call my name. I run out and find a terrified looking Tobias, and a furious Christina. Not to mention William staring at Lillian. The sight is actually kind of amusing.
"What the hell is he doing here?!" Christina exclaims as if Tobias isn't three feet away from her.
"This is why you need to knock, Christina." is the first thing I say. She marched forward and grabs my arm and drags me back to my room. After she locks the door, she turns sharply to me.
"My questions remains. What the hell is he doing here?" she shouts.
"Well last night I ran into Josh and he helped me. So then I asked him to stay and he did." I state. Christina keeps her glare on me. "He really helped last night, Christina. With Josh and Lillian."
"Do you not remember you running out of your apartment crying because of what he said? And do you not remember him saying that he wished you had killed yourself when you marched off to Erudite. Do you not remember any of that?!" I can see exactly where she's coming from. She doesn't want him to hurt me any more than he already has.
"I remember all of that but he's changed. He really, really has." I plead, truthfully. "And he's an amazing father. Lillian loves him,"
"Okay he's now a God sent from heaven." she uses her free hand to make a sarcastic gesture. "But when he breaks your heart again, don't come crying to me." she whips the lock off the door and storms out of the apartment with William. I shakily sit down on the edge of my bed and drop my head into my hands. I don't hear Tobias come in, but when he wraps his arm around me I don't resist. Something tells me by the way he tries to get me as close as possible, he heard everything Christina said. Lillian babbles bringing my attention to her. I give her tiny almost nonexistent smile.
"Thanks for being here Tobias." I whisper, looking up at him.
"Of course," he responds. I gently shift myself up and connect my lips to his. He pulls away after a minutes and says he needs to get dressed. I nod wordlessly and leave into the living room.
After an immensely boring day at work, I thank God when Tobias and I finally get home. I immediately put Lillian into her crib as she is beginning to nod off. Tobias doesn't question my silence, not wanting to piss me off further. I collapse onto the couch after taking off my shoes, grateful to relive the pressure on my legs. Tobias sits down near my waist and gently fits his hand to my hip.
"Feeling better?" he questions. I shake my head.
"No. I mean Christina will usually just say I'm being stupid about something and move on. She's never totally left like that."
"She's just trying to look out for you, that's all. After what happened at the Bureau we're all a little overprotective of you." Tobias smirks. I let myself laugh a little.
"What can I say? I'm just a dangerous person," I smile.
"You're telling me," I smack his arm and he holds his hands up in defense. I shift on the couch to make room for him and he delightedly lays down next to me. "You know, I can't describe how grateful I am that you forgave me after everything." he says after a minute of drawing invisible patterns against my back.
"Me too," I sigh. "Lillian's life would be shit if we were constantly fighting. Not to mention Kabrina and Josh," at there names I cringe a little.
"Oh God that would suck," Tobias replies. We lat like this on the couch for the next hour or so. Lillian surprisingly doesn't wake up and I'm a little worried that the cycle is going to break when a loud sharp knock rings from the door. It's so loud that it makes Tobias and I both jump.
"I'll get it," I say, making my way to the door. The moment I open it two men shove their way inside and shut the door. Tobias stands from the couch and furrows his eyebrows. "Who the hell are you guys?" I bite.
"We're with the CPS here under allegations made by Josh Smith and Kabrina Ramone." (Did I make last names for them already? I honestly don't remember) The man with the black hair says.
"They had called us with their concerns and due to the severity of the case, we had to come to do a house search and interview." the brunette man says.
"What's the CPS?" Tobias asks.
"Child Protections Services." the black haired one says. "You two have been reported for child abuse."
A/N Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn. The CPS idea was suggested by an awesome person named TrisandFourever. So thank her! QOTC TIME! If y'all had to pick one food to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be? For me it has to be Charlies Cheddar Bacon cheese fries. They are awesome. Thanks for reading. Ily and DFTBA!
