Tris runs her sweaty palms along the fabric of her pants for the seventh time in under a minute. She was nervous; it showed in the way that her face was slightly pinker than usual and her eyes kept on darting back and forth across the room, waiting for Tobias to come home from work.
The couple got married three months ago in the Pit. Almost all of Dauntless attended and shared their congratulations with the newly wedded couple. A week ago, Tris has been starting to throw up every morning and have craving for pickles and ice cream.
Christina, being the girly one of the two, immediately suspected that Tris was pregnant. Tris didn't believe her, saying that her and Tobias used protection every time. Although, she didn't realize that one of the times, they were so caught up in the moment, that they didn't use protection. Her doubts were confirmed wrong when she say the two lines on the pregnancy test.
Tobias still doesn't know, hence the reason why Tris had clammy hands and has sweat beads running down her temple. She figured out a way to tell him specially when he came home from work, and was praying that he would be as happy about is as she was.
Four had a rough day at work. Gus was in a bad mood and took out his anger on Tobias, who had done nothing wrong. Tobias wanted nothing more than to be with his beautiful wife, cuddling and talking about their day. He walked up to the familiar door of their apartment and stepped in. Tris was siting on the couch playing with her hands nervously.
"What's wrong?" Tobias says. It's not often that Tris is nervous, in fact, he's only seen it a couple times before.
"I want to get a new tattoo," she states simply and gives her husband a loving kiss.
Tobias smiles, "What do you want it to be?" Tris smiles and motions for him to sit down. She grabs a sharpie and takes his arm in her still clammy hand.
"Can I draw it on you?" she asks and Tobias quirks an eyebrow, "Okay."
"Don't look!" Tris tells him and he laughs. The sharpie tickles his skin as he patiently waits for the finished product. Tris unconsciously sticks out her tongue in concentration while she draws the clues of her pregnancy on Tobias's tan skin. She becomes more and more nervous as each minute passes. What if he doesn't want kids? What if he will leave her? No. That's stupid. Tobias would never leave her and nor will she leave him.
She draws the last part of the picture and backs away, marveling at her work. "Okay, you can open your eyes now," Tris says softly, the nervousness coming back. Tobias looks down at his newly marked arm and his eyebrows crease together.
"Okay, so this is the net, where we first met," Tris points to the first tattoo. Tobias smiles, he remembers how beautiful she looked with the wind messing up her hair and that wild look in her eyes.
"This is the first time I had a hamburger and talked back to you." She points to the hamburger. Tobias laughs at the guy next to the hamburger with a mad face, which is supposed to be him.
"This is the knife that you cut my ear with," Tris points to a tattooed knife on his arm.
"This is the Ferris wheel," she points to the ferris wheel with two figures standing next to it, "Where I first realized I liked you." Tobias smiles and pulls her into his lap and sets his head on her shoulder.
"This is when you were drunk and said I looked good." Tobias looks at the tattooed bottle of beer on his skin and nibbles Tris's ear.
"And I meant it," he huskily says and starts to kiss her passionately. Tris knows what he wants to do but she has to finish this.
"Later," she promises when she pulls away. Tobias nods and they go back to the tattoos.
"This is your fear landscape and this is the chasm and us kissing," Tris says and smiles at the memory of their kiss. Tobias smiles as he thinks about how she protected him in the fear landscape and became more brave than he will ever be.
"This is when I kissed you after initiation in front of everyone," Tris points to a couple kissing and people with shocked faces around them.
"This is when we said 'I love you' to each other," she points to a big heart.
"This is when I got over my fear." Tobias looks at the tattoo of lacy lingerie and imagines her with it on again. Tobias unconsciously runs his hand up to her inner thigh. "Tobias," Tris groans when he slips his hands inside the top of her pants. "Let me finish." Tobias takes out his hand involuntarily.
"This is when you proposed," she points to a ring and Tobias smiles for what seems like the millionth time. He had been planning to marry her every since they said 'I love you' to each other. He proposed to her in their spot in the chasm and she had tears streaming down her face as she nearly shouted "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"This is our wedding," Tris points to wedding bells on his skin and feels her throat close up on her as she realizes that's the last tattoo and the next one is the pregnancy one.
"I want you to figure out this one," she says to Tobias. Tobias looks at the last tattoo carefully. It looks like a stick with two little lines on it. He doesn't remember anything looking like this to resemble their relationship. He looks at it more carefully and sees a 'First Response' written on it. He heard of that brand before, but can't think of where.
Isn't it supposed to be a pregnancy test?
Tobias's eyes widen in realization and looks at Tris. Tris has tears streaming heavily down her face, whether they are sad or happy, he doesn't know.
"Y-You're pregnant?" he stutters and Tris nods, unable to speak because she is afraid that she won't be able to talk. Tobias soon finds himself crying too, with happy tears.
"You're pregnant," he confirms in shock and Tris smiles. Tobias leaps up from the couch and picks Tris up with him.
"YOU'RE PREGNANT! WE'RE GOING TO BE PARENTS," he shouts and Tris laughs. "Oh my gosh we're going to be parents," he says unbelieving and starts crying heavily.
They both stand there, crying happy tears and kissing. They promise each other that they will give their son or daughter the best childhood imaginable, and love it as much as they love each other.
So that was my one-shot of Tris telling Tobias that she is pregnant. Tell me if you want any more one-shots!
The idea was inspired by a Sheo story (I forget the name of it, sorry!)
