Hills & Valleys : The Sophomore Sequel || Tori Kelly

A Gram

October 3rd

8:27 AM

Tori woke up for the second time that morning to Joey's head on her stomach and Jaxon hanging off the end of the bed. With a slight groan, Tori rolled from under her son and pulled his brother, by his leg, a little higher up.

Monday.

Tori sighed, snapping a picture of her babies fast asleep, and posting it to her Snapchat story. "Alright, lets do something with this," Tori said looking at herself in the mirror across the bed before going into her en-suite.

While getting ready, Tori played some music to get motivated to go wedding dress shopping. She wasn't truly a fan, but with the wedding in May, she wanted to get the dress out of the way, so she could get it tailored if needed.

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Tori decided to take a pregnancy test, just to make sure this trip wouldn't be a bust. As she rummaged under the counter in search of a stick, Laura and Kamari popped up at her bathroom door. "Whatcha looking for?" Kamari asked, coming in and sitting on the edge of the tub. The mom of two popped up from under the counter with a blue wrapper in her hand.

"Tori is that a..." Laura trailed off watching her daughter rip open the package.

"Do you think you're pregnant?" Kamari asked. Tori looked back with her eyebrows furrowed.

"God no!" She replied. "I'm just making sure though, because I need to fit into my dress 8 months from now." Tori headed into the secluded toilet as her family waited patiently for her return. A bit of shuffling was heard behind Laura catching the women's attention to see Joey sit up. He looked around for a moment, before looking back to the bathroom with tears in his eyes.

"Oh, come here," Laura said, picking her grandson up. Kamari watched two individuals tears run down the 1-year-olds face, still not seeing his mother. It was sad, but cute to see how attached to Tori Joey had grown. It sucked for their friendship at times because literally no one could keep him, so Tori couldn't go out often. But, it was also good, because Kamari saw how hurt Tori got when Jax would refuse her.

Tori finally emerged from the bathroom and dropped the stick on the edge of the sink."Good morning, Joey," Tori smiled, seeing her mother holding her baby. Joey, however, was not impressed as burst into a fit of tears. The young mom did her best to wash her hands as quickly as possible and dry them, watching her mom struggle to hold up the lunging baby. "Okay, okay, come here," Tori said, taking Joey in her arms. She wiped the tears from his face as he calmed down and laid his head on her shoulder. "Look it's Grams! You love Grams," Tori smiled, pointing out her mother. Joey shied farther away, wanting absolutely nothing to do with anyone other than Tori.

"Joey, do you want a little brother?" Kamari asked, causing Joey to smile a bit. Tori grimaced, leaning against her side of the counter.

"Say, Mari, I have a little brother," Tori replied, making Kamari laugh. Laura glanced back to her other grandson to see him still fast asleep, but now in the middle of the bed.

"How long has he been asleep?" Laura asked. Tori rolled her eyes, hoisting Joey higher and glancing to her child.

"Since we put him to bed last night. He didn't want to get up for breakfast this morning and he hasn't gotten up yet. I think that whatever Joey had last month, Jax has now," Tori sighed. Joey started to get restless and rubbed his face against Tori chest. "Ugh," Tori groaned as the timer on her phone went off. Quickly, she maneuvered Joey to feed him and stopped the timer to grab the test.

Laura and Kamari watched Tori's face drop in the mirror as she stared at the used test. "Victoria," Laura condemned. Kamari slapped her hand over her mouth not sure if she was supposed to smile or cry. A smile slid to Tori's face as she tossed the test in the trash. "You're happy about this?" Laura asked as Tori left the bathroom and dropped onto her bed, getting a better feeding position for Joey. Kamari laid across the foot of the bed, right above Jaxon's head and Laura sat next to her daughter.
