Tori's POV
Declan was asleep in my arms, and Saint was asleep on the couch beside us. Bronx was putting together a puzzle in the floor in front of me. He had a frown on his face, and he was struggling to figure out where a certain piece went.
The TV was blaring, but I wasn't watching it. I was watching Bronx. He looked a lot like Pete in that moment.
Suddenly he got upset, throwing the piece down in frustration.
"Bronx," I said. "Why don't you set that piece down and try another one?"
"Because I want to put this one in." He said shortly.
"You will later." I said.
He slammed his fist into the carpet. "I want to do this one!" He shouted.
Saint began to cry, and as soon as he did so did Declan. Bronx looked at me with the saddest look Id ever seen, then jumped to his feet and ran upstairs. Just then Jamie came inside.
"Hey-what did I just walk in on?" She asked.
"A tantrum." I said, attempting to get up.
She hurried over and took Declan from me, so I could use both hands to get my fat ass to my feet. Once I was up I lifted Saint and kissed his forehead.
"Shhhh. It's okay." I soothed him.
"Let me take these too. I think Bronx needs some love. I saw him run upstairs." Jamie said.
"Okay." I said. I carefully laid Saint down in the play pen and went upstairs.
I found Bronx sitting in the guest room, sobbing into an oversized t shirt.
Petes t shirt.
"Bronx." I said.
"Go away." He whimpered.
"Honey, come here." I said, going and sitting down in the floor.
"No. I don't want you." He said.
I reached over and dragged the little boy into my arms.
"I know." I said. "I know you want your daddy."
"Where did he go?" He asked.
"I don't know baby. I'm sorry." I said.
"Why don't you know?" He asked.
"I wish I could explain it to you, Bronx. But I don't even know myself." I said.
"Why not?"
"Because sometimes even grown ups don't know things." I said.
He sobbed some more into my chest and I rocked him back and forth.
"Shhhh. We're going to find your dad. I promise. But until then me and Uncle Patrick are gonna take good care of you and Saint. It's all gonna be okay." I said.
"Okay." He said.
"Okay." I told him.
We sat there in silence for a little while. Then I touched my belly. "Did you know that I'm having this baby soon?" I asked him.
"Yes." He said.
"Well we're going to have a baby shower. Do you want to help me and Jamie plan it today?" I asked.
"How can I help?" He asked.
"Well, I think you would be very good at helping me pick what kind of cake to get." I said.
For the first time in months, Bronx smiled at me.
Patrick's POV
I got back home to find Jamie and Tori both planning the baby shower. Saint and Declan were playing in the playpen, and Bronx was sitting in Jamie's lap.
"Hey guys." I said, shutting the door behind me.
"Hey babe." Tori said. "Come here."
I walked over and looked at the plans they had thrown across the whole table.
"Wow." I said.
"Jamie is trying to make me have a big baby shower." Tori said.
"She's Tori Eaton! She's dating Patrick Stump!" Jamie cried.
"Engaged to Patrick Stump." I corrected.
"Whatever. All the more reason the girl should act like she's famous." Jamie said.
"She is." I realized with a bit of a shock.
The media had of course caught word of mine and Elisa's divorce, and it didn't take long for them to find out about Tori. But with everything that had happened-between Evan and Will, to Joey, then all three of them, then Sally and Pete going missing-we had paid absolutely no attention to the media. And with the police always on our heels, there weren't usually fans on our backs.
"Exactly! So throw a party like a famous person for gods sake!" Jamie cried.
"She's right Char. You can have a huge party. Do it." I said.
Tori looked up at me with a thoughtful look. "Are you sure?" She asked.
"Of course." I said.
"Yes!" Jamie cried. "Bronx, do you know what this means?!"
"We can get the big cake?" Bronx asked.
"Yes!" Jamie said.
"Yay!" He cried.
It was the happiest any of us had been in a long time.
