Listen to the song on the side midway through the chapter! Also, there're some questions at the end that I would really appreciate if you all can answer!

The next morning when I woke up, I felt warm, warmer than I have been any other time the last couple of days. As I turned looked down on my chest I could see why.

Tobias was literally on me. He was blowing soft snores from his lips. His hair was falling over his forehead and I need to remind him to get it cut soon. His leg was wrapped around mines protectively while his arm and head were resting on my stomach and chest. As I looked down at him I could help but laugh. He was a huge baby.

I ran my fingers through his hair and he nudged his head closer in my grasp. Even in his subconscious mind he couldn't help but get near me. I continued to play with his hair until I felt my own eyes begin to droop, once again.

The second time I woke up it was because I had to pee, very badly. I pushed my comforters off my bed, noticing that Tobias wasn't in it anymore, before scurrying off to my bathroom. I pushed the door back and saw Tobias naked, drying his body off with a towel. He froze when he saw me, his towel hanging in his hand loosely. I felt my cheeks begin to warm. Why was I suddenly feeling so embarrassed and shy?

"I need to pee," I lamely said, pressing my thighs together so I didn't pee all over myself in front of Tobias, again.

"So pee," he replied, raising an eyebrow at me like I was crazy. I scoffed as I saw him begin to put some lotion on his body, still naked might I add!

"Aren't you going to leave?" I replied, dancing a little now.

"Why? Reign, don't be so modest. I've seen it all before-"

"Tobias!" I screeched, flinging a toilet roll at him. "Get out!"

Tobias chuckled as he pulled his boxers over his legs. Before he left, though, he held my jaw tenderly and opened his mouth as if he was going to say something, but stopped and walked out. I frowned, confused as to why he did that, but I didn't have time to find out at that exact moment. I really needed to use the bathroom.

After I washed my face, brushed my teeth, did all the normal morning routines, I left my bathroom feeling a bit uneasy. Just last night we spoke to each other more than we had in both days combined and after this morning it seemed like we were finally okay again. Only I had a feeling Tobias wasn't completely alright, not like he used to be.

I heard some clanking of dishes and I knew he was in the kitchen. I walked inside there, pulling my cardigan over my shoulders, and wrapped it tightly against my waist. I stepped in front of pantry about to grab my short supply of bread until I saw warm, fresh food waiting for me on my dining table. With my hand half way in the pantry, I looked up at Tobias, shocked.

"How'd you get this food?" I asked, shoving the bread back in the pantry, my mouth watering as I eyed the food.

My legs had a mind of their own as I quickly say in front of a plate of delicious breakfast foods. Steaming waffles, as well as scrambled eggs, was on a single plate. My stomach grumbled as I shoved a fork full of eggs in my mouth, enjoying the savoring taste. I've been living off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the past two days. Saying that I was excited to see some real food was an understatement.

"I demanded your apartment complex to bring us some food, real food. Sorry, this was all I could manage to get," he explained, scratching his head.

He looked down as if he was ashamed and all I wanted to do was kiss him all over. I cut a piece of waffles and placed in my mouth and moaned at how good it tasted. It was my favorite, blueberry.

"I love you," I blurted out, without realizing what I said.

I looked up at Tobias and saw him looking at me with hope, something I've hadn't seen in a long time. My stomach began grumbling again and it looked like I wasn't the only one starving.

"Feed that baby of ours," he joked, and for once in the last few days I saw a genuine smile come across his face.

~*~

"Am I some type of animal?" Tobias asked, his face scrunched up in confusion.

I held back my giggles and shook my head. "Nope. Am I a place where someone eats?"

"Yes," Tobias grumbled.

"Am I a restaurant?" I asked, my body leaning forward from excitement.

"You're cheating! How are you getting all these right?" Tobias exclaimed, crossing his arms like a little baby.

I couldn't contain my laughter this time. I added restaurant to my small pile of cards and looked at Tobias' which had none. We were playing a game of Guess What and Tobias managed to keep losing. I mean, how hard is it to guess that you're a car? Pretty simple if you ask me. Though our phone batteries were near dead, we took turns playing some music. Candles were lit around my living room. Though it was five in the afternoon, it got dark pretty quick. One of my favorite songs recently began playing and I started swaying my head to the music.

Tobias tore his card off his forehead and leaned back against my coffee table, dropping some loose papers as he did so. He began to pick them up and stopped once something held his attention; the sonogram I got a couple of days ago. He clutched the photo delicately it was like he was holding a glass container and not some picture.

"Is this..."

He didn't have to finish. I nodded, a small smile forming on my lips. "Yup. This is our little nugget."

I crawled around the carpet so that I was sitting next to him. His fingers grazed through the picture and he genuinely looked... happy.

"Wow," he gasped, his eyes full of amazement. "This is inside of you, right now."

"It is," I proudly boasted.

"It never passed my mind how babies are made inside someone. The whole thing just seemed surreal," he said, looking down at me. "Like it was all make believe."

"I assure you, our baby is definitely real. I'm already getting stretch marks," I huffed out, rolling my shirt up. I felt cold hands touch my belly, my small baby bump, and I sucked in deeply from his touch.

"You're still beautiful."

I rolled my eyes and pulled my shirt down. "I'm fat."

Tobias chuckled and pulled loose pieces of my hair back, tucking it behind my ear. "You're far from that."

"Tell that to my stomach then!"

I didn't expect him to take me seriously, but the next thing I knew Tobias placed head against my belly. My heart began pounding as I heard him begin to talk to our baby.

"Hey you," he said, his voice light and happy. "It's your daddy."

I pressed my hand against my lips, trying to hold back the sob. I don't know why this was making me so emotional. Maybe because I never had this for myself or maybe it was because I didn't know what the future held for Tobias. All I knew was I was in heaven right.

"Your mommy thinks she's fat, which she kind of is."

"Hey!" I replied, slapping the back of his head with my hand. I felt my stomach vibrate from his laughter and I couldn't help but laugh too.

"So you keep growing, okay? Grow big and strong so that I can teach you how to knock someone out in-"

"Okay!" I exclaimed, pushing his head off my stomach. A wide grin was on his face and he looked younger than ever. "I think that's enough conversations for now."

"Watch, our little girl or boy is going to be a skillful fighter," he said, sitting up. He got up and extended a hand out for me.

"They're not going to be a fighter at all," I snorted, grabbing onto his hand. "They're going to be scholars."

"School is for losers," he replied, rolling his eyes. I furrowed my eyebrows at him.

"Is that so?"

He noticed my threatening look and smiled sheepishly at me. "School isn't for losers?"

He meant to say it as a statement, but I could hear the question linger in his voice. I smiled up at him, a little amused by his attempt to smooth things over. My song changed from Adele to Coming Home by Leon Bridges. I closed my eyes as I heard the music begin to play. I was a sucker for these type of songs.

Baby, baby, baby. I'm coming home to your tender sweet loving.

"Dance with me," I cooed, opening my eyes. Tobias was looking at me like I was crazy. "Come on, dance with me!"

After much hesitation, Tobias finally joined me. I could help but feel so relaxed and at ease for the first time in months. We swayed to beautiful music, our body's pressed closely together. A giggle escaped my lips as I felt Tobias twirl me around before he pulled me right back into his arms.

The flames from the candles scattered around us seemed to match our rhythm. They danced around us, creating a mood filled with desire and lust. I felt my breathing quicken as I felt his hands around my waist move lower and lower.

Baby, how I'd be grieving
If you wanted to leave me all alone now

My heart pounded as I felt his lips pressed down on mines. It had been too long since I've felt the familiar surge of electricity pass through me that only Tobias can create. Once we started we couldn't get enough. We were hungry to be next to each other, hungry to finally be apart of one another again.

I felt my back hit against a wall before Tobias pressed his lips to my throat. I arched my back from pure enjoyment, loving the feeling of being loved. I wrapped my legs around his waist and continued to kiss him until we reached my bed. There he dropped me on my back and tore off his shirt before he joined me.

Being with Tobias felt so right. Through our ups and downs, we still managed to find our way back to each other, like we were two opposite ends of magnets. I loved escaping in another world as him, a world only knew of. He was Jack and I was Rose, our love powerful and intoxicating.

Just as we were about to peel off the rest of our clothing, bright lights blinded us. Loud TV noises came from my living room and I could faintly hear the hum of my heater turn back on. With my chest rising fast, I stared up at Tobias. His face was flushed and his hair was messy from my constant tugging.

"What now?" He asked, pushing his hair back.

He looked different. The past three days of staying with me changed him. He was like a ghost this past month. In a way, I needed this too. I was miserable without him and even though we weren't speaking in the beginning, I felt instantly better. I didn't have to think twice before what I said next.

"Move in with me."

Aww, finally they're growing up *tears* I know this was kind of another filler and in sorry. The plot will pick up next chapter. OR I have one more filler chapter in mind. What do you guys think? One more filler chapter?
