Sheo's Story

Chapter Sixty-One

Previously in Chapter Sixty

"Will you ever want kids?" and the silence is barely a minute but it feels like an hour.

"Will you?" She asks raising an eyebrow and I can't tell if this is good or bad.

Shai's POV:

Of course I want kids but I can't work out Theo's tone of voice right now. It's almost as if this question will determine if he wants to be with me and I don't know if he wants to hear a yes or no but the more I think about it the more I know I do want kids and I have to be honest. The thought of losing Theo hurts so much but so does the thought of never being a mum. I look up at Theo waiting for an answer and he takes both of my hands.

"Yes, I do Shai, but if you don't, I don't care, I want you more than children."

I let out a long sigh of relief, it's cute he'd be willing to give up so much for me, but it's so much better that he wants what I want. I really think we're meant for each other. I smile and sit closer to him.

"Me too." I say and kiss him. We're going to be an actual family, with little versions of us running about. I know this discussion wasn't too serious but it's got me thinking about it all now. If we wanted to do it reasonably soon we'd have to work around the filming of Insurgent and Allegiant as Tris can't be pregnant. Thinking about Insurgent I remember we have a cast meeting soon to meet the new director and see how things are going to be done, and get our timetables for filming and whatnot. I know we're inviting Neil to the wedding and I keep meaning to ask Theo if we're going to invite the new guy. We don't even know his name yet so I guess we'll wait until we've met him.

We stay on the sofa for hours just flicking through TV and finding different movies that are on. There's never anything good on TV so we end up watching about half an hour of a movie and seeing what other ones are on.

"We should buy some movies on DVD. We always do this." I laugh and get my phone from my pocket to look online for some good films. I see Theo looking over my should to see what types I'm looking at but nothing really looks good on DVD at the moment.

"Just wait until Lewis and Aimee are back here, they always want to watch their DVD's." He says with a chuckle and it's the sweetest thing. I'm excited for Theo's family to spend some time here, I feel it's an opportunity for us to show them around where we live now. There's also a really cool kids play area about an hour away so it will be fun if Theo and I could take Lewis and Aimee there.

Theo's POV:

I don't think I've ever felt better than when I heard Shai want's children too, it's all I've been thinking about since she said she wanted them. I didn't know if it was a good time to bring up the house I saw but I thought I'd leave it as that should be enough to think about for now.

I like how involved she wants to be with my family, she seems really excited to spend some time with my family and especially with my niece and nephew. I get up and find some popcorn in the cupboard and sit back down with Shai. We've had a pretty lazy afternoon and I'm appreciating it as we haven't really had chance just to sit down and do nothing recently.

"So Shai, I spoke to Ansel about your friend."

"Serioulsy? What did he say?"

"That he really likes her and they're going on a date next week." I say nudging her and wiggling my eyebrows. It feels weird gossiping like a teenage girl so I try to lighten it up a little bit.

"No way?! That's awesome." She exclaims and it makes me happy how excited she is. Although I must admit it will be cool if they end up together because of our wedding arrangements, like a movie and true love bringing them together. I really have been watching too much crap on TV to think of that. Anyway, I rely on Ansel to keep my updated so we'll just have to see how that ends up.
