No War - Divergent

26

"Daaaa..." Screams Tobie. I don't know where he gets his loudness from... I clamp my hands to my ears.

"Shush!" Tobias says quiet to him. I laugh and watch Tamra as she plays with Tobie's hands.

"Maaaa..." Tobie says quieter, finally not screeching.

"Mamma," Tobias points to me. "Dadda." He points to himself.

"Maaa..." Tobie points to me. "Daa..." He points to Tobias.

"Tammy." I say, pointing at his big sister.

"Taaa!" He squeals. Well no screeching lasted long... I push my index finger to my lips, he copies.

"Shh..." I say.

"Ssss..." He copies again. He's pretty darn adorable. Tobie has Tobias's deep blue eyes and Tobias's dark hair. He has my lip shape and ears but I can tell he's going to have Tobias's body build, he's already quite a big toddler. I'm sure he'll be somewhat to Christina's baby.

Turns out she didn't know she was pregnant until a month or two after I found out with Tobie. So her baby is a month or so younger than Tobie. Christina and Will decided they'd call their now 2 year old toddler, Mia. When we have play days for the kids, Mia and Tobie always seem to very playful around each other.

"Dadda!" Tobie squeaks. He did it. He said his first word. I laugh, hysteria.

"He did it! You spoke!" Tobias says excitedly. "Say it again, dadda."

"Daa...Dadda!" We all grin widely.

"Mamma." I say, he can't not say it now...

"Tamm..."

"Mamma," I repeat.

"Tammy..." He holds his arms out, wanting to get to Tamra. He starts weeping, I pick him up and give him to Tamra. He giggles when Tamra tickles his feet. "Mmmm...Mamma..." He did it!

"Yes! That's right, mamma, dadda and Tammy!" I say excitedly. Well now we need a play day!

"Mamma...dadda...Tammy...!" He wails. I don't clamp my hands to ears again, I must be getting used to it.

"Tobie!" Smiles Tamra.

"Tammy!" Tobie says back.

"Right, I'm going to get Christina to bring Mia round and we'll have a play day, how about that?" Tamra nods, not so convincingly. She wants to see Logan. I know she does. She has no one else.

Christina and Will bring Mia round, she seems to have Will's Erudite past,  she said her first word at one and a half years old. But she seems to look exactly like Christina but with Will's green eyes.

"Tobie!" Mia screeches as Christina puts her down next to Tobie.

"Mia." I say to Tobie.

"Mmm..." He pauses, attempting to figure her name in his head. "Miii..." Another pause. "Mia!" He squeals. Christina slams her fingers in her ears.

"Gosh! He can speak! Where'd Tobie get his loud mouth from?" She exclaims.

"You can't talk, Candor." Tobias states, I thump his arm and we all laugh.

"Tobie!" Mia picks up a teddy and cuddles it. She gives it to Tobie, Tobie hugs it.

"Eee...fff..." He says as he tapping the teddy's head into the ground.

"Eee...fff..." Repeats Mia, taking a metal toy car and pushing it around.

"When did they get so destructive?" Will asks, making us all chuckle.

"Must be from you." Says Christina, completely burning him.

"Woah! No need to burn my face off!" We all laugh again. I watch Tobie and Mia sitting together, playing woth the teddy and cars. Adorable.

I ship it, Tobia! :') And Logan and Tamra... TAGAN! Oh dear, great at ship names aren't I? Yeah...
