A/N: Hey my cake-lovers! It's been a really long time since I've posted, but I've had the worst writers block ever; but good news, I'm finally back to writing again! You guys may call this story an oddity and probably strange for a Divergent fanfic, but it will get better, I promise :)
Just to clear things up, all of the events in Allegiant did happen, but Tris and Uriah are alive. Al, Will and Eric are dead though.
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR ALLEGIANT (a little)
Prologue - Tobias's P.O.V.
It's been seven long hours since Tris went into labor with our child. I grasp her hand tightly and keep reassuring her to breathe. After another hour, she lets out a loud sigh of relief. "You did it!" The doctor exclaims, "It's a beautiful baby girl!" Tris is crying now, and tears well up in my eyes too. They clean the baby off and put a beanie on her head and wrap her in a pink blanket. As a married couple, now 24 and 26, we are glad to finally have our first child. The baby cries maniacally and the doctor offers the baby to Tris. She rocks the baby in her arms and her crying almost instantaneously soothes. "Hello," Tris coos, "I'm your mommy now, and this is your daddy." She hands the baby to me and I can't help it; I cry. I mean, we made her. She's alive, she's okay.
The doctors wrap around the hospital bed, smiling. One female doctor steps up and asks, "What will you name the baby girl?" Both of us look at each other and Tris nods. I respond, "We're going to name her Sienna," One of the other doctors says, "What a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl." Tris smiles and blushes, "Thank you." I look at the baby, she has fallen asleep, her mouth shaped like a tiny "O".
The door bursts open and Christina and Uriah arrive. Christina lets out a loud squeal, which in turn wakes up the baby, who wails again. Uriah pats me on the back, "So. You did this. Congrats bro, you got lucky!" I glare at him and he puts his hands up in mock surrender. "You are so much like Zeke." I respond and he yells, "No I'm not! I'm so much cooler and funnier and more handsome!" I roll my eyes jokingly. Christina walks over to Tris and hugs her, and Tris groans in pain. Her whole body is aching, and Christina just made her pain worse.
Tris exclaims, "Doctors, is Sienna just hungry? Is that why she's crying so much?" The doctors look inquisitive for a second and ask, "May we see the baby for one moment?" Tris looks hesitant, but reluctantly hands over the baby to the squad of doctors. "Yes, she is hungry. She will need mothers milk." Christina and Uriah look grossed out and Uriah says, "We'll leave you to that." To that, Tris responds, "Four will come get you when I finish." Uriah and Christina immediately walk out of the hospital room and I assume go to the waiting room. Tris begins to feed the baby and Tris says to the doctors, "I don't feel anything." I suppress a giggle. The doctors respond, "Just relax and don't think about it. Here, we'll give you some hot water." They give her a glass of hot water and Tris puts Sienna close to her and she begins to feed. Tris smiles a cheeky smile and I laugh. I don't know how long we wait for Sienna, but the doctors tell Tris to stop.
Tris fixes herself accordingly, and the doctors say, "We must take the baby to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, or NICU for short. to see if she is perfectly healthy or not." Tris shrugs, "Tobias, can you go tell Uriah and Christina to come back later? Tell them I fell asleep." I evilly smile and salute, "Will do." She smiles again. Before I leave, I notice the doctors putting Sienna in a plastic crate on wheels and rolling her to the NICU. I go to tell Uriah and Christina that Tris fell asleep, and they leave without any pouting. As I'm walking back to the hospital room, I bump into one of the doctors, making her glasses fall off. I pick them up for her and she fixes them onto her face. She squints, "Are you Tobias Eaton? The father of Sienna Eaton?" "Yes..." I respond, "I need you to come with me immediately." She brings me into a spare room and turns on a small light. "My name is Amanda, I am one of Tris's doctors. I fear that there is something dangerously wrong with your daughter." Great. Every new father loves to hear that there is something dangerously wrong with my child.
"Is it that she could be Divergent?" She shushes me, "Don't say that word in front of a bunch of Erudite. They don't like to hear that. But yes, she does have an aptitude for being genetically pure like her mother, but also genetically damaged like yourself." I am about to say something when she interrupts, "But that is not what I'm trying to get at. We had done a DNA test and it seems that she has both human and wolf genes in her. The Erudite call it a Mesawolf, half wolf and half human. She will most likely have human features but have wolf ears at the top of her head instead of human ears and a wolf tail. She will also most likely have long nails and fang-like teeth. Is there anyone in your family or Tris's family that is also a Mesawolf from which Sienna could have gotten the genes?" I think back to my family tree. Maybe Evelyn was... or my dad. If so, they did an excellent job at hiding it.
"I'm not so sure. Can I call my mother and ask her? If anyone knows, it's her." Amanda smiles, "Of course." I dial up my mom's number and she picks up after three rings. "Hello?" I hear. "Hey Mom," I say. "Oh Tobias! It's been such a long time since I've heard your voice!" "I have a question for you." This is when I put the phone on speaker so Amanda can hear it as well. I ask, "Do you know if anyone in our family is a Mesawolf?" "A what now?" She responds, genuinely confused. "A Mesawolf, part wolf part human." "Well, the only thing I remember is that your father's brother, your uncle, was hunted down for being part wolf. Does that help?" "Yes!" I reply with glee. Now I know where Sienna got the genes! "Why Tobias? What's going on?" "Well, it's a long story. We should sit and have tea about it sometime," I smile. "Alright then. Well, I hope that answers your question! Bye!" She hangs up.
"The gene for half wolfism must be recessive. If it did not show in neither your father or you, then it cannot be dominant. If it were dominant, both you and your father would be Mesawolves as well." Amanda responds. "Is this going to affect her permanently?" I ask, scared for my daughter's life, "Yes. She will be a Mesawolf for her whole life. But, it's not going to cause her to get sick or anything. Her ears should pop up at around 6-8 months, so during that time, you should keep a hat on her head. She has human ears now, but at around four to five months, they will start to disappear. I also suggest that you break the news to Tris." Amanda retorts. She walks away and says, "If you have any questions, ask me." Fluffy wolf ears that are the same color as her fiery red hair appear on her head and a tail sprouts from her lower back in the same color, "I'm an expert." The new appendages disappear as quickly as they came out and she walks out of the room.
I walk back to the hospital room and Tris greets me with a smile, to which I don't quite meet her gaze. She frowns, "What's wrong?" I tell her the whole story, and when I finish, she is on the verge of tears. "We won't be normal parents." "Nope." I respond, crossing my arms. "I'm sorry for my messed up genetics." She motions me closer, "Don't be sorry baby, we just have to get used to this."
I notice a bottle of champagne and a note
For good times
~Uriah and Christina
I pour both of us a glass and we clink glasses, "Stars of the champagne bottle, give us luck on raising our child."
