Until the World Stops Turning (A Baby Quintis FanFic)

Chapter 12: Surprise?

Happy:22 weeks.

Toby's POV

What did I just hear? Happy bought us a house too? My head starts to pound and I look her in the eyes and she furrows her brows.
"You what?" I ask, still trying to comprehend the fact that we now own two houses. She looks down, giving off a sense of guilt and humiliation.
"I bought us a house too. It isn't that big, but it was all that I could afford." She looks up and her eyes are glossy as tears fill them up. I know that she didn't mean for this to happen because Happy never cries, and when she does, she's expressing her true emotions. She probably thinks that I'm mad, but I'm just glad that she was ready for our family to grow and move further in life. I smile, lift her chin, and kiss her. Tears begin to fall from her eyes and I pull away. I wipe away her tears and hold her.
"I'm not mad, Happy." I finally spoke.
"You're not?" She asks surprised.
"No, Happy. I could never be mad at you. You could put me through Hell and back, but I will always love you." I tell her truthfully. She doesn't respond, but instead, she holds me tight. We stand there in silence for a while before Happy starts dozing off. I decide to carry her to our room instead of telling her to walk. Pretty soon, she's sleeping and I'm no where near tired. I look around the apartment and realize that nothing is packed. I grab my keys and walk out the door, heading for the garage.

When I walk into the garage, I'm surprised to see Walter and...Paige? What could they possibly be doing at 2 in the morning? Oh...oh god. Ew. I block my sight and tilt my head down towards the floor, I quickly search for what I'm looking for. Once I find it, O sneak out of the garage without them noticing. Honestly, I'm hoping that they're together officially now. Waige is my second favorite couple, my first favorite is obviously Happy and I. I head back to the apartment and unload the truck. This is going to be a long night.

Morning comes and before I know it, Happy is awake and looks around the now empty apartment that's only filled with boxes. Yep, that's right. I packed everything last night. I'm running on my fourth cup of coffee and I'm feeling greatly energized. "Did you do this last night?" She asks as she stares at me dumbfounded. I was going to reply with a sarcastic comment but decided against it. "Yeah. You impressed?" I answer winking. She just shakes her head. "Ugh, Toby. You never give up, even in the morning you're still obnoxious." I just smile and shrug. She chuckles and goes to make coffee. She then turns to look at me and narrows her eyes. Uh oh. "Toby? There's no coffee left...I just bought this can yesterday." She says pointing to an empty can of coffee grounds. Did I forget to mention that the four cups of coffee were twenty-four ounces each? Oops.
"How'd that happen?" I ask stupidly.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe some psycho just came over and drank all of our coffee while my supposedly genius fiancé was packing up our things last night." Happy finishes her statement before grunting and returning to the bedroom. Okay, she's definitely pissed off. Then I remember how she's carrying our child for another five and a half months, so I decide to do her a favor. "Happy? I'll be back in twenty minutes." I say and leave quickly. I head to Happy's favorite coffee shop, Aroma Mocha. I get her her usual and a blueberry muffin. I pay the barista and head back to the apartment. When I walk in, Happy is sitting on the couch in her pajamas. It may not be the most flattering outfit, but damn. This woman could wear the ugliest outfit in the world and still pull it off. I hand her the food and coffee and her eyes light up. She stands up and kisses me in exchange. I swear, I never thought that I could fall any harder for her, but here I am again with butterflies in my stomach and my heart melting. Just like the first time we met. She then pulls away and leaves me breathless. And then I remember what she told me yesterday. "I bought us a house too, but it's not that big. It was all I could afford." All she could afford? What does she mean? Did she use all of her money to buy a new house? Oh no. This could not be a good thing.
