In the morning I woke nestled against Eric's chest. "Morning Princess." I smiled, and said "So what's the plan for today?" I asked. Eric said "Well I was thinking that my beautiful, Sexy wife deserves the day off, so I thought she could go to the shops here at Dauntless, and get some supplies, the heavier supplies, I can pick up with the boys later. Just tell them I'll be by to pick it up." "You're the best. I know I don't say it enough, but Dauntless is damn well lucky to have you... and so am I."
"It is I, who am the lucky one. The lucky one to have such a well-oiled faction to run, with the greatest team of leaders, and the most beautiful and sexiest women in the world as my wife, and my baby mama." he said, kissing my head, before we changed. We went to the café, I saw Chris sitting alone, looking sad. I nudged Eric and whispered. "I'm going to sit with Chris, she looks upset..." I whispered, Eric glanced over and said "Go on." I kissed his cheek, and went over, sitting next to her. "Hey. Are you Okay?" "GO AWAY TRAITOR!" "Excuse me Chris?" Her eyes looked up as she said "GO." I took a deep breath. "Chris, I'm not going anywhere. Talk to me." "JUST GO!" She went to get up, as Caleb came over, catching her before she dropped to the ground. "Crap... I'm going to take her to the infirmary. I'll text you what's going on." I nodded, sighing. Chris and I never kept secrets, so this was odd behavior. After breakfast I went to the shops.
"Hey Tris." I heard a males voice, causing me to turn and look. "Four, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be working." "Eric sent me to help you." I smiled, we got everything we'd need, even most of the heavy stuff. I instructed Eric, would be by later, or Four will be back before we returned to mine and Eric's dropping off everything. "Hey Tris? Are you alright in there?" Four's voice broke through the door to the bathroom. "Yeah... Be right out." I eased back against the tub. "Ugh... What's the matter little one? Not a fan of cake?" I whispered. Four and I got a slice, on our way through the shops. I quickly brushed my teeth before going out. "Hey. Sorry." Four looked to me. "No problem. Eric texted me. He's worried cause he's not seeing us anywhere." I groaned, leaning on the wall.
Tris: Hey Babe, we're still at the apartment. I'm so sorry... I'm not feeling well...
Caleb: Hey, sorry about earlier... Chris's pregnant with Will's baby, but Will doesn't want anything to do with the child, so I'm raising him or her as my own. She's okay and so is the baby.
Eric: I'm on my way. Sit down on the couch.
Tris: Oh gosh. That's why she was so upset with me... Just tell her next time to be more careful. If it wasn't for the fact, she was my best friend and your girlfriend, I would've punished her for the disrespectful way she treated me.
Tris: Okay, thanks honey... Can you bring some chicken soup and ginger ale?
Eric: On it.
Caleb: I already spoke to her about it. It's all good. I did tell her I expected her to make an apology to you as well.
I smiled at that. "Tris?" Four's voice asked. "Can you help me to the couch?" He secured an arm around my waist before he helped me to the couch, easing me onto it. "Thanks..." Four sat next to me, before saying "I guess the baby isn't a fan of cake?" Four asked, as I shrugged. "Probably not." I sighed, as the door opened. "Hey, Thanks Four for staying with her." Eric said, as he entered, setting the stuff on the coffee table. "Of course, man. I'll go pick up the rest of the heavy things after work. I'll bring Uriah and Zeke, maybe Caleb with me. Take the rest of the afternoon off. I have a feeling Tris would appreciate you being here than I." Eric said "and this is why I gave you the co- head leader position." Four gave me a hug, before leaving. Eric got me a bowl of soup and opened the ginger ale. "Here, Eat up." I started eating quietly, as Eric sat beside me. "How much stuff was left?" he asked as we ate. "3 beds, 2 cribs, 2 toddler beds, and 6 dressers... Sorry I might have gone a little crazy..." Eric smiled fondly and said "and here I thought I had nothing to worry about."
Max: Hey Eric, I got the dolly for you.
Eric: Perfect, can you go to the shop, and pick up 3 beds, 2 cribs, 2 toddler beds, 6 dressers, and 6 armories for me? Or just pick up what you can and bring it over? Tris isn't feeling well...
Max: Sounds good son, I'll help you paint and assemble anything you need.
Eric: You're a lifesaver!
"How's my girl feeling now?" "Better, not 100%." "Well go to our room and nap? That usually always make you feel better." I smiled and said "You understand me better than anyone. I'll take you up on it." I felt his lips on my head as I went to our room, taking the medicine for anti-nausea.
~Eric's Prov~
I went to one of the guest rooms, and cleaned it up, before I heard the front door open so I went out before Max could make too much noise. "Hey, Wow. You got most of it! Here, Sit it down here..." I helped him move everything. "I still have the mattress's to pick up and the 6 armories. But I can pick those up now, and come back to help you." I said "perfect. Just try to be quiet when you come in, Tris's trying to take a nap..." He nodded, before leaving.
Eric: Hey guys, Max already got all the stuff from the store, but I will need your help setting everything up, and painting... Would you guys be able to help me out with that? I have 4 guest rooms I need done asap...
Four, Uriah, Zeke and Caleb: You got it man. We'll come over after work. I think we should be able to get the rooms painted today.
Four: I know your siblings are coming this weekend so if you wanted to take the next couple days off, I can handle running Dauntless.
Eric: Thanks Guys! I owe you!
Eric: That is much too generous, are you sure?
Four: Yes.
Uriah: We'll bring some pizza, and stuff for dinner. Chicken soup for the girls? Any other things?
Eric: Ginger ale for Tris.
Caleb: Same for Chris.
Four: Beer.
Uriah: Got it. See ya soon.
I finished cleaning the one room and started on the other 5. It took up most of the afternoon, even with Max's and Tris's help. "Alright, so these four, go to the guest rooms the other two, go to the rooms, near ours." I instructed. Once everything was set up the guys came with Chris. "Hey. Umm... Tris... Can I speak to you... Privately?" Chris asked.
~Tris's Prov~
I nodded, as we stepped into another room. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you that way this morning. You were just trying to help." I said "I appreciate the apology and I accept it. But I do not want this to happen again. I'm a leader, and if it happens again, I will have to discipline you." She said "I understand. Friends?" I nodded hugging her. "I know Eric would have disciplined you, if he knew." She nodded. We spent the night chatting.
~Eric's Prov~
I started working in one of the guest rooms, this one I was working with Four. "Hey, be honest. How is Tris doing really?" I looked to him, before saying "She's fine... Maybe just a little tired... I think she might be more worried about the babies. She's pretty scared she'll miscarriage..." I was painting the wall, while Four was helping me paint one of the other walls.
"Damn Eric… What can I do to help?" I smiled gently. "Its okay… I think until she starts feeling the babies moving she'll be paranoid…" Four said "You sure? That's another few months…" Eric said "I know, believe me… man I need a drink…" Four said "Where do you keep the alcohol?" "Just ask Tris." I watched Four go out as I finished painting. When Four came in he held a bottle to me. "thanks." I took a long swig. "I don't usually drink if she can't… but damn it all. I'm scared man…" I confessed, as we drank. "I can tell. She'll be okay. I promise. You will too. You got all of Dauntless in your corner. And me." I looked up to him. "I know our relationship has been rocky from day one, but I always kind of considered you my brother and Tris my sister." "lately I've felt that. I appreciate everything you do for us… but it can't prevent everything…" I watched Four kneel down beside me. "Hey. We are stronger together. All of us. You, Me, Tris, and Caleb. You can lean on us as much as you need." I smiled a bit. "and what if something goes wrong?" Four said "Then you both can lean on us. We're your family. If Tris needs to go on Bedrest, then me and Caleb can make adjustments and everything so you both can have a peace of mind." "Thank you…" "and I want you to take as much time after the babies are born. Give Tris all the help you can. At least till they sleep through the night." "Sounds good to me man. Thank you." Four nodded as we got back to work.
~Tris's Prov~
"Hey. Tris." I felt Eric's hand shake my shoulder gently. "Huh...? What?" Eric said "Hey. Come here. Come to bed. Everyone else is gone." I sat up, stretching a little before we went to our room. "All the guest rooms are painted, and the nurseries are too, so I would prefer it if you stayed out of those rooms for a few days..." I nodded, as we changed. "Hey, come here." Eric said as we snuggled into each other drifting to sleep.
