I do not own Divergent the lovely Veronica Roth does. I can only take credit for my ideas.
I wake up to a loud knocking on the door. Still surprised about not waking up earlier to throw up, I wiggle out of Tobias's arms, and walk out of the bedroom and over to the door. I look through the peephole to see Uriah and Zeke with Marlene and Shauna attached to each of the boys. I open the door.
"Did we wake you?" Shauna asks.
"Uhm.." I look at the bedroom door where a sleeping Tobias lays. "Yeah. But it's okay. Come in." I say. They come in, and I shut the door.
"Where's Four?" Zeke asks as I walk over to the kitchen and start making coffee and grab an apple and muffin.
"Bed." I say. "What time is it?"
"It's," Marlene says grabbing her phone out "9:57."
"Wow. it's a good thing you came." I say laughing. The girls walk over to me, and sit down at the table.
"Hey can I borrow a water?" Uriah asks. Without thinking, I nod my head and he grabs a water bottle from the fridge. He walks towards the bedroom, and a minute later I hear laughter and swearing. Marlene, Shauna, and I run towards the laughter to find ourselves in the bedroom. Tobias is drenched in water, and Zeke and Uriah are both laughing there butts off. He glares at them, and I laugh as Zeke shows us girls the video. He just lays his head back down on the pillow and grunts.
"What's wrong with him?" Marlene asks.
"I don't know." I say. Usually he would be up already. I walk over to him, and kiss his forehead. He seems warm. I put my hand on his forehead and he is burning up. I shake him, and he looks up. I see the sickness in his eyes.
"How do you feel?"
"Like I was run over by a bus." He says. I laugh a little, and it earns me a glare.
"You have a fever." I tell him. He just buries his head in the pillow, and I grin. This is going to be fun.
"Sorry man." Zeke says.
"Yeah hope you get to feeling better." Uriah says, and the boys leave.
"Get better For." The girls say in unison and then they are right out of the bedroom. I follow them, and close the door slightly.
"Why did you guys stop by?" I ask them as they open the door.
"We were going to go play paintball, but I think that is out. Call us if you need anything." Zeke answers.
"You take care of him Tris." Shauna says.
"I will." I reply.
"And tell him we didn't know he was sick or else we wouldn't have done that." Uriah says.
"Will do. Any other requests?" I ask, sarcasm dripping in my voice.
"Tell him to get better." Marlene adds.
"Race?" Uriah says before they all run away. I laugh as I shut the door. I hear retching and I grab a water and quickly run into the bathroom. Tobias is hunched over the toilet. I drop on my knees beside him, and rub soothing circles on his back. He moans, which I think is a signal meaning that he is done for now. I help him up and hand him the water, which he takes gratefully and rinses out his mouth. I look at him and he is pale, and looks so weak.
"Let's get you to bed." I tell him. He nods, and I lead him into the bedroom. He lays down, and I tuck him in.
"I don't deserve a wife like you." He says weakly. I go to leave, and he grabs my hand. "Where are you going?" he asks.
"I am going to call Zeke and see if he can pick me up some stuff, and I am going to grab a bucket incase you feel like you are going to get sick again."
I walk out of the bedroom and grab a bucket from the closet, and then my phone from off the charger. I look in the cabinets and fridge to see what I have, and what I need. I have my list in my head as I call Zeke.
"Hello?" He asks as he answers after the third ring.
"Hey this is Tris. If I transfer points to your account could you pick some stuff up for me?"
"Sure. What do you need?" He asks.
"Well, I need Chicken broth, egg noodles, Celery, Ginger Ale, and Gatorade. That will cover until I can get out. I was supposed to go shopping today." I sigh.
"Okay. If you want I can come by and keep an eye over him while you go out and do your grocery shopping." He offers.
"Could you? Because if you could I won't take long."
"Of course." He says. "I will be over in a few." He says.
"I can't thank you more. You don't know how much this is helping right now."
"No problem." he says before he hangs up. I walk into the bedroom, and put the bucket beside Tobias's side of the bed.
"Hey." I say as I lean beside him. "Zeke is going to come by and I am going to go grocery shopping real quick but then I will be back." He nods slightly and I ask him if he's alright.
"Can I have more blankets and some aspirin." He asks. "And can you close the curtains." I nod, and first close the curtains. Next, I find as many blankets as I can and put them on him. I walk into the bathroom, and grab the aspirin. I hand him the bottle, and he takes the pills. I kiss his forehead and walk over to my dresser. I grab a black tank top, and black leggings and put them on. As I put on my socks and boots, I hear a knock on the door. I grab my jacket, and open the door. Zeke comes in.
"I will be back as soon as possible." I say. I grab my purse, and my phone then head out the door.
Divergent
I bump into Christina and Nicole in the pit.
"Aunt Tritsy!" Nicole, the three year old screams as she runs towards me. I bend down and pick her up, twirling her around.
"Where tis Untle Thor?" she asks. I laugh as she says that. She has trouble with her c's, f's, k's and s's so far.
"Uncle Four is sick." I say. She pouts.
"He my favorite untle." She says. Me and Christina laugh.
"What's he sick with?" Christina asks.
"I'm guessing the flu. I'm going to go shopping you want to come with?" I ask. They agree. We talk on and on as I shop, and Christina offers to help me carry the groceries back to the apartment.
"Thanks." I tell Christina as we put away the last grocery.
"No problem. Nicole!" She yells.
"Goodbye Untle Thor. I love you. Get better." We hear her say.
" I love you too Nicole." He says. I think about a little girl of our own, and smile.
"What about me?" Zeke says, with mock hurt.
"Bye Untle Zete. I love you."
"I love you too Nicole." Zeke says.
I can't help but laugh as she comes out from my bedroom with a mask on that Christina made her wear since she works in the infirmary and is all worried about germs and so on.
"What ya thinking Tris." Christina asks me.
"Nothing." I say gleaming.
"How was this morning?" She asks me.
"Fine actually. I didn't wake up to morning sickness this morning." I reply, loud enough for only her to hear.
"That's good. Have you told him yet?" I shake my head no, and she just sighs.
"Okay. I love you two, but we got to go see daddy." She says. Nicole follows her. "Say bye to Aunt Trissy."
"Bye Aunt Tritsy. Love you."
"Love you too Nicole. Say hi to daddy for me.." I yell after the two.
"Get Better Four!" she yells as she and Nicole let themselves out of the apartment. I walk into my bedroom to see Zeke and Four coloring. 'I have to send this to the girls' I think as I get my phone and snap a picture.
"Zeke, when I said watch him, I didn't mean babysit him and color." I joke around.
" It's not just any coloring book 's a mermaid, princess, and fairy coloring book." He says.
"Where'd you get it at?" I ask as I crawl onto the bed next to my husband.
"Uriah had it. I don't know why." he replies. He gives me his paper, and I'm surprised at how good it looks. Tobias finishes his as if they were twins, and gives it to me.
"What am I supposed to do? Grade them?" I ask staring at the boys. They both nod, and I have to hold back a laugh.
"Well, you guys both did good, so I give you two both an A." I say, and pat them on the head.
Zeke laughs like a girl and says in his girliest voice, "Well, I'm going to give it to my mommy." At that, Tobias laughs a little, though it looks like pain.
"I'm going to go. Get better." Zeke says as he gets up.
"Aren't you going to take your coloring book and crayons?" I ask him.
"Nah. Leave it here for another time. You guys have fun." He replies.
"Bye. Thanks Zeke again!" I say as I hear the door open.
"No Problem!" He replies, and I hear the door shut.
