Resurgent~ Back again

Chapter 29

Tobias POV
After breakfast tris decided to go hang with Christina since she's been with will a lot, so I'm here with luca. He's taking a bath while I finish the dishes. He comes out a while later in some black shorts and a dark green shirt. He has socks on but no shoes. "Hey! You all done?" I ask and he nods. I give him and small smile and go drain the water for him since he doesn't know how. "What should we do now?" I ask him. He shrugs. "You want to go see the training room with me?" I ask and his face lights up. He nods like I'm asking if he'd like a million bucks. "Okay!" I say chuckling. I go grab my jacket and shoes and he puts on his Velcro tennis shoes. We head out and I hold his hand in mine, except his is so small it only hold on to three fingers. We walk all the way down and luckily no ones in there.

"What should we do first?" I ask and he points to the punching bags. I walk him over, well actually he ran over and I walked. I get over and he looks so excited. "Alright! Show me what you got!" I say smiling. I back up to watch him. He makes his hands into little fists and punches the bag with all the power he has. It's not bad for a five year old to be honest, he hits again. "Good job." I tell him and he looks up and smiles at me. A genuine smile. He points at me, "You want me to throw a punch?" I ask and he nods. I like how quiet he is but sometimes I wish he'd use his words. I go over to the punching bag to the left of him and hit it. He stares wide eyed. "Hey wanna go see the knife throwing area?" I ask and he takes my fingers. We go over and he sits in the metal table to watch me.

I grab a knife and throw it, hits dead center. Luca claps and I laugh, "I'd let you try but you could get hurt and tris could get mad at me." I whisper the last part because I never know when she's listening. "No she won't." He says and I never realized how adorable his five year old voice was. "Alright! You convinced me." I say and he smiles. I hand him a knife and I show him how to hold it and throw it. He lets go and we watch it soar through the air till it hits the board, not center but not bad. I high five him. "You look tired. Let's take a break and go down to the dinning hall. I'll introduce you to some people." I say and he agrees. I pick up the knives and we exit the room.

We walk down the hallway and I choose to go the long way so we don't have to go through the chasm. "Hey guys!" I hear a voice call. I turn and see tris. Luca runs over to her and hugs her, she has that effect on people. "Hey." She says kissing my cheek. We get closer to the dinning hall and I see luca slowing down. We have been walking for a while. I go over and pick him up, he giggles again. I smile and kiss his forehead. Tris wraps an arm around my back and we walk in as a family.

We spot our friends and go over, "Hey!" Tris says sitting. "Hey! Is that luca??" Shauna asks excitedly. I nod. "Luca this is Shauna, Zeke, uriah, Marlene, Christina and will." I say pointing to all of them. He hides his face into my shoulder, he's shy. "We won't bite!" Chris says. All the girls are in awe of his cuteness. I take a seat next to tris and Luca on my Lap. "Cake!" Luca finally says. I laugh as he points to the cake in the table. "Wow he really is like you!" Zeke says as tris gets him a price. She puts it in a napkin and slides it over. I watch Luca dip a finger into it and lick his finger, he smiles.

"Hey four! Can I talk to you when your done?" Shauna asks and I nod. Tris takes him off my lap and into hers, he's still into his cake. I go over to the door with Shauna, which is far from our table. "What?" I ask. "So did you ask her yet??" She asks. I have to think about what she means and it hits me. "Oh proposing!" I say. "Duh!" Shauna says. "No. We've been busy." I say and she nods. "Our anniversary is coming up though. I can do it then." I say. "Could you watch Luca that day?" I ask.
"Sure! What day?" "Next Tuesday." I say. "Of course! He's adorable!" She says. I know she'd like a kid, but with Zeke that'll be so far out into the future. "K thanks." I say and we walk back to our table.
