Tris pov
I can't believe how fast Levi is growing up. He's almost 1 years old.
In these past 9 months Tobias and I graduated high school, got our own place, etc. Tobias is training to become a police officer.
When ever I️ have some free time I️ take online college classes. I am studying to be a teacher but lately it's been hard getting my school work done when Levi needs most of the attention. I will get through it, Tobias believes that I can do this.
He's always busy with police stuff and I'm busy at home; by 8 o'clock at night we're fast asleep where ever... the couch, our bed, the floor.
Levi sits in his highchair eating puffy apple cracker things. I don't know it's some baby food thing he likes. He pops one into his mouth then focuses attention back to the small tv we have in the kitchen.
He's watching Elmo, it's his favorite.
I'm chopping vegetables for tonight's dinner when my phone starts to ring.
I put the knife down and grab my phone. It's Evelyn, Tobias's mom.
"Hey Evelyn what's up" I say
"You, Tobias, and baby Levi all have to come over for dinner tonight. It's your parents order and also ours." She laughs
"We have an announcement to make, your brother and his girlfriend will be here too along with Charlie. She's getting so big." Evelyn adds
"Is everything okay" I ask
"Everything is Fine, we just miss our children. You never come over to visit" she says
"I'm sorry Evelyn, Tobias and I are constantly busy. We never get a break" I say
"I understand sweetie just make sure you're here tonight for the special announcement" she says
"Okay" I say
"See you then sweetie" she adds then hangs up.
I look over at Levi and sigh.
"Looks like we're going out tonight" I say picking him up from his chair.
He starts to cry and I sigh.
"I know, I know. You want to be watching Elmo" I say in my gentle mommy voice
I rub his back and try to get him to calm down while I walk to his room to get his outfit ready.
He whines and whines and whines the whole time.
"Its Okay Buddy, you don't have to cry" I say
I hear Tobias walk through the front door and within a matter of seconds he's walking into Levi's room because he hears the crying.
"Hey what's wrong buddy" Tobias says in his gentle dad voice
I hand Levi over to Tobias while I finish getting his outfit together.
Tobias makes Levi laugh which calms him down.
"So why was he crying" Tobias says with a laugh
"I took him away from his Elmo" I say
"Oh no mommy did a bad thing" Tobias says to Levi
I giggle and grab him from Tobias arms.
"Get ready because our parents invited us over for dinner. They said they have an announcement" I say
"Who's house? Mine or yours" He ask
"Yours" I say
"Want me to take him a bath? I can see how tired you are" Tobias says and I nod.
"Thank you, you're the best boyfriend in the entire world." I say
While Tobias gets Levi ready I go to our shower in our room and start getting ready.
I get out and wrap a towel around my body and put my wet hair in a bun.
Tobias walks into our room as soon as I leave the shower. He has no shirt on and towel around his waist.
"Where's Levi" I ask
"He's dressed. He's laying in his crib with some toys" Tobias says
"Wow you're quick" I say and he nods with a smile
"You know what else can be quick" he says walking closer to me, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"No no no" I giggle
"It will be quick" he laughs
"Another time" I say pecking his lips but he just kisses me back.
I pull away laughing and he lifts me up and takes us to our bed.
He attacks my mouth with kisses and pulls our towels away.
"Tobias, Levi is in the next room" I whisper as he kisses my neck
"It's alright. It's not like he knows what we're doing" He says back, so I finally give in.
I kiss him back with the same force and he lays me down on our bed. He grabs one of my boobs as we kiss.
I sigh when he moves his lips from my mouth to my boobs then to my abdomen area.
He quickly puts a condom on then pushes inside me.
I quietly moan as the pace picks up because Levi is in the next room.
We quickly finish and lay next to each other to catch our breaths. I lay my head on Tobias chest and close my eyes because it's been a long day and I'm tired.
"Now I have to shower again" I say
"Let's just showed together. We're running late" he says and I laugh
"And Who's fault is that" I say
"Both of ours" He says lifting me from our bed and running us into the shower.
I turn the shower water on and let the relaxing hot water touch my body.
Tobias puts shower gel in his hand and washes me up. I quickly rinse that off and put shampoo in my hands. I wrap my arms around Tobias and rub the shampoo in his hair.
"How was your day" I ask him running my fingers all through his hair.
"Good" He says
"Next week is the ceremony, I can't wait to finally be a police officer" he adds and I smile
"I'm so proud of you" I️ say
"And I'm proud of you" he says back
"I'm having such a hard time with school" I say
"But I know you will finish it. I'm trying the best I can to take Levi from your hands when I'm home but it's hard and I feel bad all the time but-..." he says but I cut him off with a kiss.
"Don't feel bad. We had a kid, sacrifices had to be made" I say holding his face in my hands.
"I love you so much" he says looking into my eyes
"I love you too" I say and he wraps me in his arms giving me a big, naked, wet hug.

"So what's this big announcement" my brother Caleb ask as we sit at the dinner table
"Should we tell them" my mom says excitedly to Evelyn.
"Why not" she says back with the same excitement
"We're going on a cruise" they yell at the same time
"A cruise?" I say holding Levi in my lap, feeding him a bottle.
"Yes and the best part is it's baby free, so you get to leave the kids" Evelyn says and I look at Tobias with worried eyes.
"I don't know how tris and I feel about leaving our almost 1 year old son alone for a long period of time with who? Who's going to watch him if you two are our only babysitters we trust" Tobias says
"The cruise is only a week long and I talked to Christina she said she would watch Levi for you and Lindsey's Mom said she would watch Charlie. It's a win, win situation, now you get to go." My mom says
"We just want you to get some alone time away from your kids. We know what it's like to be busy with just them. Let us treat you to this. You technically can't say no because it's already paid off" Evelyn says
I look at Tobias and we nod in agreement.
"We're in" I say
"So are we" Caleb says
"We're going on a cruise" my mom screams
"We're going on a cruise" Evelyn scrams too
"We're going on a cruise" Lindsey and I join in
