You And Me Against The World | ✅

Chapter 100

It's been five months since my sweet angel was born. Andy is such a wonderful baby. It was rough the first couple of months until he was on a feeding schedule but by now he sleeps through the night and rarely cries. Tobias is wonderful with him. He often wakes up when I'm too exhausted and feeds him with a bottle or changes his diaper. His favorite time with his son is bath time. I often watch them as Andy plays in his little plastic tub and Tobias talks to him telling him all kinds of fairy tales and little stories. Andy watches his daddy with big eyes and laughs and smiles and giggles. He is a happy child and Tobias is a big part of making that happen.

Tori gave birth a week ago. A beautiful baby girl named Ava. Between Zeke, Dwayne and Tobias I don't know which one is the proudest daddy in Dauntless. If someone would have told me two years ago, that these three would compete who's kid is the cutest I would have smacked that person. All three men are such Dauntless dudes that that scenario seemed impossible.

Hunter celebrated his first year in April and on that same day Zeke proposed to Shauna who immediately said yes. Both of them however were so anxious to tie the knot that they just eloped two weeks later. They actually called all of us and asked us what we're doing and never mind that, just get dressed and get to the Navy Pier where Connor waited for us to officiate the ceremony.

Christina and Will got married on May 20th and went to Amity for their honeymoon. They promised to be back in time for initiation, because this year Christina would take my place as an instructor. I could have taken Andy to daycare or mom or Evelyn could have watched the baby, but I just couldn't leave him. I don't know how I'll ever do that.

Marlene started her training as a doctor and a little birdie told me that Uriah will propose soon, that is, as soon as he finds the balls to do that.

Lynn and Vicky are happily living together and even researched how to get married and what that would mean. I'm happy for both of them, but especially for Lynn. I know she had a secret crush on Marlene ever since initiation, but Marlene fell in love with Uriah. Lynn suffered, I could tell; she and I sometimes talked about it. She knew I wouldn't judge or make stupid comments. No one would've, but she felt safe with me and I appreciate her trust. I knew she fell in love with Vicky long before she realized it. It was actually a few months ago, when someone attacked Vicky and she almost fell into the chasm that Lynn realized it herself. She knew then that she couldn't live without Vicky and they became inseparable. I'm glad for them.

Caleb proposed to Cara about two weeks ago. It was a nice family gathering: my parents, Cara's parents, Tobias, Andy and I and, obviously, Christina and Will. Chris and I suspected something when Will and Caleb told us that the parents where invited but we kept our mouths shut. I am very happy for them and wish them to be as happy as I am with my family.

I'm still working from home but every once in a while, I go to the office with baby and all. Whenever I'm at work Andy just sleeps or plays with the stuffed bear Uncle Zeke gave him.

I'm reading some files when I hear Andy babbling. He started about two weeks ago, no real words just sounds, but I love watching him. It's still mind-blowing how fast he grows. It seems like only yesterday Tobias put him in my arms for the first time and we took our first picture together.

"Da-da-da-da-da," Andy keeps babbling.

"What is it, baby?" I ask him smiling and get up from my seat at my desk and walk to the couch where he sits between many pillows.

"Dada, dada," he repeats and my eyes widen.

"Dada?" I ask and he smiles his toothless smile.

"Dada, dada, dada," he keeps repeating. Is he trying to say daddy? I smile at that. I pull out my phone and look for a picture of Tobias. I show it to my son and he starts laughing and repeating even more excited "dada".
