Until the World Stops Turning (A Baby Quintis FanFic)

Chapter 16: Expectations Vs. Reality

Happy's POV

     I'm facing Toby and he's breaking out in sweat as tears stream down his face.
"Toby." I shake him. He shoots his eyes wide open.
"Aaah ghost!" He shouts as he rolls off of the bed.
"Toby. There are no ghosts. Why the hell would you think that I'm a ghost?" I look at him strangely. He looks at my hand and points to the ring on my finger.
"We're still engaged? You're alive??" He asks confused.
"Yeah...and since when was I ever dead?" I awkwardly ask.
"So...you're telling me that all that shit that happened in the past three days was a dream?" He looks at me oddly.
"What do you mean 'past three days'? It's been ten hours." I say.
"Oh god. Thank the lord! I thought that you died! I thought that you were a real goner after you jumped off of  that bridge! Phew!" I raise an eyebrow, and suddenly I'm amused by his dream.
"What bridge, Toby?" I ask.
"The one that was two hundred feet above the water. You ran fifty-four miles while pregnant to get to a hotel by it.
"Hey, Toby? I would never run by choice. Especially while pregnant. This could've never happened in real life." I laugh at the fact that it's so true. I would never run by choice.
"Oh okay. Thank god. The baby and I were so lonely without you there." He looks at me and sends me a charming smile.
"Oh gosh. How'd you ever trick me into getting engaged with you? You're such a dork." We laugh.
"A god-damn sexy one." He smirks playfully. I laugh and walk away. I grab my phone and call the realtor from whom I put the offer on for the house.
"Hello, this is James Parker. How can I help you?" He answered.
"Hi it's me, Happy Quinn. I just wanted to tell you that I am removing my offer on the house at 437 Dabbler Court. Okay. Goodbye." I say quickly and hang up before Toby comes over to sit with me on the couch.
"Hey, Toby?" I call out.
"Yes, sweetheart?" He responds.
"Can you come here? We need to talk." I ask.
"Yeah. I'll be right there."
"Okay." I say.
"So...what did we need to talk about?"
"Well, as you know, I told you that I bought a house, but I really didn't. I put in an offer, but I just removed it because I want our future kids to live in a house with a place to play...and the house that you bought would also have enough room for a dog." I say.
"Really? Didn't you say that that house was all you could afford?"
"No. I never said that." He looks at me.
"Oh, so that was a part of my dream too? I'm so glad that none of that dream was real...except for maybe one thing...we had a girl." He says.
"Awh really? I sure hope that we have a girl, but a boy would be cute too."
"Yeah haha." Toby says. I wrap my arms around him and lay my head against his chest. I feel him relax his shoulders and stretches his arms out to hold me. Great. Now I have to pee. Stupid pregnancy. Everytime I get comfortable, I have to pee. When is this baby going to leave my body? I can't wait. I get up and head to the bathroom. When I finish, I return to Toby and he opens his arms for me to fall in. I turn on the tv and put on Grey's Anatomy. Cristina and Meredith's friendship is what I hope to have someday with a true best-friend. Possibly Paige, but I don't know. Also, Derek and Meredith's relationship is really cute. They are like Toby and I, but with less dramatic drama. Then, Dr.Bailey scene begins and I start to laugh. She's my favorite. She's short, sassy, and funny-just like the writer of this story (A/N: hehehe) I continue to watch for a while before falling back asleep and lying comfortably in Toby's arms.
A/N: Hey guys! You probably hate me right now because of the last chapter, but I decided that it would be pretty hard for me to write another chapter without Happy and not cry in the process. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. If you did, please vote. Thanks. Bye.
