*Tris Pov*

I stumble into the house exhausted. Today is Saturday so guess what? I had to take two shifts today at both of my jobs. I worked 2-5 at Swaders and 6-9 at Dick's sporting goods.

I am so tired. I had two quizzes yesterday, Brooke was playful and guess what both of my parents were gone at work. Tobias had football practice and my brothers were at friend's house. They are useless anyways.

I walk up the steps and I see Tobias laying on the bed sleep with Brooke on top of him asleep. I smile and take a quick picture and I grab some clothes and towels and I go into the bathroom and take a shower.

I lean against the smooth cold stone wall and just let the hot water pound on my skin. I step under it getting my hair wet I wash my body when I am finished I wrap my towel around me and I dry off.

I start to lotion down and then I put on some underwear and a loose sweatshirt that comes to my mid-thigh but it gets tighter towards the end. I just towel dry my hair so it stays in the wavy curly form.

I put everything up and brush my teeth. I climb in bed with both of them and immediately start to fall asleep.

+++

I wake to something crawling on me. I groan softly but slowly open my eyes and its
Brooke dead in my face. Tobias is still asleep.

She giggles when I keep one eye closed.

"MAMA!" She squeals and I gasp and sit up.

"What did you just say?" I ask

"Mama!" She giggles in a duh voice.

"Tobias." I say and he groans.

"Tobias." I start kicking him under the covers.

"Go away Evelyn!" He mumbles.

"I am not Evelyn wake up!" I say louder and mistakenly kick him in his private area. I thought it was his shin.

He groans and falls off the bed. Brooke giggles.

"DA!" She shouts.

She smiles at him showing him some of his teeth.

"What was that for- Wait what you just said." He says

"Brooke. Who am I?" I ask

"MAMA!!" She says putting her hands on my cheeks moving my head side to side.

"Who am I?" Tobias asks

"DADA!"

"Where did she learn this from?" I ask Tobias

"Well last night she was a bit fussy so I read her a book about all the animals and their parents. She tried to pronounce some of the words but couldn't quite get it so we finally fell asleep and I guess it kind of marinated in her mind over night." Tobias says still in shock.

"Oh my baby is growing up!" I say putting Brooke in my arms and she giggles.

"We need to celebrate." I say

"After we tell your parents." He says

"Tobias." I mumble while Brooke gets occupied with the bed spread.

"Hmm?"

"I forgot to ask you do your parent even know about Brooke." I say

"Yeah." He says quietly. "When my parent's found out Marcus tried to kill me. Literally he started to beat me and Evelyn just stood there. So I spend most of the nights here and at Zeke's." He says and I nod.

"Well, let's go!" I shout putting Brooke in my arms who is repeating no over and over and over again for some reason.

I knock on my parent's door and I open it and see both of my parents asleep.

"MOM! DAD! WAKE UP I HAVE GREAT NEWS!!" I shout and Tobias enters the room with Caleb and Josh.

Caleb is glaring at Four who is smirking.

"He punched me awake." Caleb says in shock.

"Thanks." I say and Caleb glares at me. Sometimes I forget that Caleb and Tobias were friends, well are friends.

"What's the news?" Mom asks

"Brooke." I say and she turns her head to me as I hold her up on her feet on the bed and I make her face my parents while I hold her tiny hips so she is standing.

"Who am I?" I ask

She just giggles and reaches out to Mom.

"Who am I?" I ask

"MAMA!" She squeals and everyone gasps.

We cheer and she bounces around the room. My baby girl is growing up.

"Doesn't she look adorable?" Tobias holds up Brooke who is kicking her legs. She has on a pair of denim leggings with a coral sweater and some baby pink timberlands. Her cute brown hair is pulled into a tiny loose bun. I did the bun : )

I am wearing a pair of burgundy joggers that has silver zippers and a black part with a burgundy sweatshirt. I also pull my hair into a messy bun. I put on a bit of mascara, eyeliner, and burgundy lipstick with a black bandana.

I throw on some air Jordan's and I pick up my daughter while Tobias gets ready.

"Can you stand for mama?" I ask holding her up while I sit on the floor. I hold her hands and let go she falls down on her butt and starts crawling towards her toys.

"Don't worry Tris." Tobias says sitting beside me and places his arm on my shoulder.

"She'll come around with walking trust me." He says and I nod.

"Well, Tris. You do know that this is our last year of high school. So, I was thinking that we start looking for a house."

"Wow, that's a big step." I am speechless.

"Let's talk to your parent's later on okay?" He says

"Alright." I say
