Hey guys! I know the Divergent era has come and gone but I just recently picked up the books again after not having read them since I was young. I also haven't written fan fiction in YEARS, but the books inspired me to give it a go again. This is just my take on Tobias and Tris in the future. Most elements of the series are kept the same, but I decided to add some of my own ideas to make it authentic. As always, Divergent is property of Veronica Roth, not myself. Enjoy :)

Chapter 1: A baby story

Tris POV

My hands grasp the stick until my knuckles turn white, the blood rushing from them. I stand up from my crouched position around the toilet and slowly pace the bathroom, willing the test to give me the answers I've been searching for. It all started last week, when I noticed I had missed my period. I thought nothing of it at first. It was a particularly stressful point in the year, with Tobias and I preparing ourselves for our first round of initiates we'd be training together. It wasn't until a bout of sickness in the middle of the night that prompted me to purchase a test. I doubted it now that I was waiting for my results. I certainly couldn't be pregnant, could I? I had just turned nineteen last month and Tobias was only twenty one. We were young, too young to be parents at least.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts when my alarm goes off, signaling the test should be ready with my answer. I turn it over in my hands for a moment, staring at myself in the mirror. I run a shaky hand through my long blonde hair and take a deep breath. I flip the test over with my other hand and inhale sharply. The word "pregnant" flashes at me and my face hardens as I try to process all the thoughts running through my mind. I did want kids, but I always thought of them as something that comes with age, after people are settled down and married. I place the test on the sink and run my hands over my face.

A small smile creeps to my face the longer I look at it. Sure, Tobias and I are young, but wasn't this meant to be? Tobias and I are bound to each other, this surely would have happened eventually. I wrap my arms around my body and smile at the thought of him running around with a child, our child. Deep in thought, I turn off the bathroom light and close the door, ready to search for Tobias. I head straight to the control room, where I'm sure he's preparing for the new batch of initiates arriving tomorrow.

I knock on the door and push it open gently, glad to see him alone. He glances over and me and smiles, moving swiftly to wrap his arms around my body. I turn around to face him and press my face into his shoulder.

"To what do I owe this pleasure," he smirks as his swings the door closed with this foot.

"Tobias," I giggle as I push his face away from me enough to look into his eyes. I bite my lip and he angles his eyebrows at me, looking confused.

"What are you doing here," he whispers, running a hand through my hair and tucking it behind my ears.

"I have some news," I say carefully, "and it's pretty life changing." Tobias's face instantly softens and he begins to look me up and down, his concern setting in at my announcement.

"No, not bad news," I giggle as I take his hands in mine, noticing the worry in his eyes. I let go to pull the pregnancy test out of my back pocket and place it in his hand, closing his fingers over it. He lets go of me and turns the stick over in his hands. After a moment his head snaps up at me, disbelief written all over his face. In two quick strides he reaches me and closes me into a hug. I feel wetness on my neck and pull back to see tears falling down his face.

"These are happy tears, yes?" I question as thoughts of him not wanting a baby creep into my mind.

"Of course they're happy tears, Tris," he exclaims as he pulls me in for a kiss. He must notice the apprehension clouding my mind since he sits me down in a chair and couches in front of me, running his hands over my arms comfortingly.

"Are you happy about this?" he murmurs.

Am I happy about this? My mind becomes muddled, confusing me even further. I was happy earlier, but now my fears are creeping up on me, telling me that this is wrong.

"I'm scared," I manage to say, "I-I want a baby but I'm scared." Tobias smiles softly and looks into my eyes.

"I'm scared too Tris," he says calmly, "But I love you and I want to be with you forever. A baby just means I get to enjoy a mini you too." He laughs and I chuckle with him, my fears seeming to dissipate at his excitement. He moves his hands to my stomach, lifting my shirt up slightly to reveal my bare skin. His fingers trace over it lightly, and he grins, looking from my stomach to me.

"Our kid is in there," he exclaims softly, as if he doesn't quite believe it yet.

"Yeah," I murmur as I press my lips to his forehead, "A little mixture of the two of us."

That evening, we walk hand-in-hand to the cafeteria, scanning the room for our friends. We don't have to look too hard to find them deep in conversation and laughter just a few tables from us. I gently pull Tobias towards them and wedge myself between Christina and Will, earning shouts and pokes from the both of them. I laugh and pick a piece of bread off Uriah's plate, throwing it at Will, who ducks and holds up his knife to threaten me.

"Calm down six," he mocks innocently, lowering his knife and moving over to make room for Tobias.

"Ooh Tris are you ready for your first day of training tomorrow," Marlene questions, moving her body in closer to the table to hear my response.

"She's more than ready," Tobias interjects, stuffing bread into his mouth. "Four and Six, always ready for anything."

"Well, I mean, there might be one difficulty, actually," I say as my voice trails off in a suggesting manner. Tobias looks at me with a humorous glint in his eye and forces more bread into his mouth to keep himself for screaming out our announcement.

"What do you mean?" Christina says. "There won't be any difficulties because they're all gonna be sacred of big bad Four and Six."

"Yeah well I'm not so sure they'll be scared of a baby," Tobias smirks, looking at me. Christina follows his eyes to me and looks insulted.

"Tobias, did you just call Tris a baby?" she accuses, pointing a finger at him. "You know she could whip your -"

"Chris," I laugh, "He means we're having a baby." I bite my lip as I watch her features shift from rage to shock. I glance around the table at everyone and laugh as they all stare at Tobias and I wide-eyed.

"Wait," Christina says apprehensively," We're happy about this, right? I mean this should be a happy thing and-"

"We're very happy about this," Tobias says. I give him a small smile in appreciation for cutting Christina off. Though she belongs in dauntless now, her Candor characteristics never seemed to fade completely.

"OK WOW!" she shouts as she clambers over the bench and spins me around to face her, enclosing me in a hug. Marlene and Shauna follow suit, screaming about my baby and asking me a million questions. Uriah and Zeke join in the celebration, clapping Tobias on the shoulder.

"You didn't quite beat teen pregnancy, but hey, that's ok!" Christina jokes. I roll my eyes and shove her arm softly. She smiles at me and says, "I'm just joking Tris, I'm really freaking happy for you." I can't help the tears that fill my eyes, threatening to fall at any minute. Tobias notices and pulls my in closer, running his thumb across my cheeks to rid them of the droplets.

"I can't believe we're having a baby," I smile up to Tobias. He grins back at me and looks back up at our group of friends.

"Ooh I call being the cool aunt!" Marlene shouts, eager to claim the position. Christina and Shauna both pout, obviously annoyed that Marlene stole it from them.

"No way," Chris shouts. "I'm gonna be the cool aunt and everyone knows it." At this, the girls dissolve into a fun argument, trying to determine who gets to be what to the baby.

When Tobias and I enter the apartment, we immediately change into pajamas and fall into bed. Tired, I reach to turn the light out and lean into Tobias's body. He reaches his arms around my body and hold my hands in his, like he does every night before we fall asleep. I lay there for awhile before my anxieties cause me to turn over, facing him.

"I'm worried I'm not going to be a good mom," I whisper to him. He opens his eyes and looks at me softly.

"Of course you will be, Tris," He says, "You'll be the best mother out there." I sigh and begin to chew my nail, but Tobias pulls my hand away from my mouth. "You always do that when you're nervous," he chuckles.

"I know Christina was joking earlier but I can't stop thinking about it," I sigh. "I'm nineteen, a teenager, a baby myself!"

"You're not a baby," Tobias chuckles. "There's no set age that determines you're ready to have kids. We've been together for nearly three years. I think that warrants a child."

"You won't leave us, will you?" I ask as my lip trembles. The thought of raising a child alone is enough to make anyone cry. Tobias cups my chin and asks, "Tris, what's really bothering you?"

"I just need to know that this is forever," I whisper.

"You will never get rid of me Tris Prior," Tobias whispers back, his hands moving to my stomach. "You, me, and our baby, we're a family now.

"What if the kid comes out hating me?" I joke.

"Our kid is not going to hate you," he laughs, "No one could ever hate you."

"Peter did," I mumble as a remember the day he tried to kill me. At that, Tobias's face hardens and he pulls me closer.

"That was different." he states. "Our baby is going to love his mother."

"He's going to love his dad too," I smile, picturing the two of them running around with each other when that baby's older.

Tobias kisses the top of my head and lazily runs his hands down my arms.

"I love you, Tris," he states.

"I love you too. Always," I reply.

If anyone does end up reading this, I'll try to update as often as I can. Summer is actually my busiest season but as of now writing has been a priority. Thanks!
