Tobias POV
Everyone is in bed. I tucked Tesah in and Riley just said goodnight to me and Tanner. I walk into mine and Tris' bedroom to see her hugging Danny. He looks up and see's me, he wipes his face. I stand there confused. He gives me a fist pump and walks out. I look at Tris, but she is already walking into the bathroom and getting ready for bed. I take my shirt off and slip my shorts on. I climb into bed and wait for Tris. She comes out in short shorts and a tank top. I smile at her. She climbs in and I wrap my arms around her and kiss her forehead.
"What is up with Danny?" I ask.
"Taylor has a boyfriend. Now he can't ask her out like he was planning to do tomorrow." She explains. I nod, understanding why he was crying.
"Why didn't he talk to me about this too." I ask Tris, looking at her.
"He thinks you would be mad, because he actually has feelings. You put this pressure of always having to be tough on him." She says resting her hands on my chest. I turn away. Hurt from what I just heard.
"Oh." I say. The silence is deafening.
"Tobias, he is wrong. You are just being you and he needs to understand it is ok to feel. He needs to understand that from you."
"Ok." I say still not looking at her.
"Ok, well I know you don't have work tomorrow but I do. So I have to get some rest. Goodnight Tobias." She rolls over. I kiss her temple.
"Goodnight Beautiful. I love you." I watch her close her eyes and smile. I close my eyes and fall asleep with her.
I feel something hit my face. I awake with wide eyes. I look in front of me and I see Tesah. My back facing Tris.
"Baby, what's wrong." I ask whispering. Hoping to not wake Tris.
"I had a bad dream." She says sniffling. I wipe the tears from her face and scoot over. She crawls in bed. I wrap my arms around her.
"What was it about?" I ask her quietly. She sniffles.
"You got hurt. Then in the hospital you died." She said frowning. I frowned. I can't believe my baby girl is having bad dreams about me dying.
"Look, I'm right here." I say kissing her forehead. She snuggles closer into my chest. I look at the clock 3:49. "Baby, go back to sleep. I'll fight of the bad dreams."
"How?" She asks looking at me with her big blue eyes.
"With my bare hands of course." I reply. She smiles and nods. She closes her eyes and I listen to her breathing become steady. I lay on my back and try to fall asleep. I hear Tris' breathing sped up. I brush my hand across her arm. She rolls and snuggles her self into me. Her and Tesah are in the same position on opposite sides of me. I smile to myself. My girls. I close my eyes and eventually drift off.
Tris POV
I wake up and look at the clock 6:40. The kids and Tobias are off today, but I'm not. Teacher work day. I roll out of bed and see Tesah on the other side of Tobias. I smile. I quickly go get ready. When I come out Tobias' eyes flutter open.
"Good Morning Beautiful." He says smiling.
"Good morning. What happened?" I ask pointing at Tesah.
"Bad dream." He says looking at her.
"Awe really? What was it?" I ask.
"Me... dying." He says pausing. I frown. She shouldn't be worrying about that.
"Awe, ok well I have to head out. I love you. Have a good day." I say smiling. He motions for me to come to him and I do. I takes my hand and pulls me down. He connects our lips and smiles into the kiss. I pull back slowly.
"I love you too." He says when I walk out. I love my family.
