Chapter 12 – Tobias' Explanation

Tris' POV

I wake up from my little nap and notice a little note on the nightstand, and a small card on the other pillow. Of course it would be from Tobias and the kids, I know that quick, scribbled hand writing, and the combined messy handwriting from the kids, anywhere. I read Tobias' note first.

Tris,

I already picked up the little monsters from Will and Christina's. Will started to get worried about you, but I told him you were fine and the appointment went ok. I also took care of Bear, getting the kids cleaned up for dinner, which I already made. It's your favorite, hamburgers with everything, and for dessert, chocolate cake.

The kids also made you a little card which I'm willing to bet that you've already noticed on the other pillow. I'm also sure that you will have noticed that everything, for once, is quiet just the way you like it.

P.s., I almost forgot to tell you. The other night, I talked to Jake about him probably having a little brother or another little sister. Don't get mad, but I had to ask him to see if he was ok with the idea, seeing as how he was acting the way he was. Turns out, he's really excited to be a big brother again. Now that you've finished reading, check out with the monsters made for you.

I laughed at just about everything he wrote and the fact that keeps referring the kids to 'little monsters' whenever he sees fit. As told, I turn over and reach for the kids' card. It has a bunch of little drawings on all over the front. Inside it reads;

Hi Mom! Dad already made dinner. He says it's your favorite, hamburgers with tomatoes, unions, and a bunch of other stuff on it. Jakes' writing.

Daddy also got CHOCOLATE CAKE! Wake up soon so we can have dessert! Jennas writing.

Love Jenna and Jake

I laugh at both little notes that they made. I get up and put a hand on my stomach and a thought comes to mind. I wonder if they're boys, girls, or both. I smile at the thought and open the door a crack. It's just wide enough for me to see Tobias with Jake at the dining room table talking in whisper. I listen in as best I can without leaving the bedroom.

Tobias' POV

"Jake, remember from the other night, when I asked if you would be ok with having a baby brother or another baby sister?" I ask him and he nods, still with a smile on his face. "Well, it looks like that you be the big brother of two more babies." Since I'm facing my bedroom door, I see it open a little and Tris is leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed over her chest, smiling at me and Jake. I smile back then look at Jake.

I don't if it's possible that his smile can get any bigger than it is now, and this makes me smile. Then he starts getting excited and whispering a mile a minute. "NO WAY! I'M GETTING TWO BABY BROTHERS? OR SISTERS? THIS IS SO COOL! I get to teach them everything I know. We can play with my cars, play ball with Bear, play Jenna outside. I can even teach them to drive my racecar!" He doesn't stop jumping in his seat and I'm afraid he'll fall over to the floor.

"Jake, take it easy. Sit down before you fall off and get hurt." I say grabbing his arm and gently pulled him back down to have a seat. I look over again to see Tris with her hand over her mouth trying to stifle her laughter so she can remain hidden from Jakes view. "Ok, now that you've let out all that excitement, you have to calm down now. I need to tell you something very important." At this he starts to calm down and give me his full attention.
