Chapter 4

End of stage 1

Amar POW

For the past few weeks, I want to make sure that Andrew is Dauntless enough for Natalie, so I sneak into the transfer training room to make sure that he has my seal of approval. I just need to make sure that Max doesn't see me and thankfully he hasn't caught me yet.

"Amar, why are the hell you are here?" Max asked. Looks like I thought about him not catching me too soon.

"Checking to see if Andrew is Dauntless enough for Natalie," I said.

"Amar, go back to Grandma and Grandpa," Max said. "You do not need to be in here without supervision."

"Well, you're here, so there," I said.

"Go, now," Max said. "I don't have time to babysit you. I need to prepare the stage one rankings with Tori and George."

"Ok, Max," I said as I left the training room.

Max POV

Last week, the two Candor smart mouths have requested to go back home and Dad honored that request, so now it is just the Prior twins and their cousin. At least they have not given me any lip. I am surprised that Andrew did well, pretty sure that he will ranked high in stage one.

I been stressed out for the past few weeks, especially when I found out that Hana is not only pregnant with Zeke, but also a baby girl. I was prepared to be a father of a little boy, now I have little Cara to worry about, not to mention that Natalie is also pregnant with my nephew Eric and that Andrew got her pregnant before the Choosing Ceremony, which explains why he transferred here.

As for Jeanine, she didn't want to be separated from Andrew, so she followed him. Their maternal cousin Matt Larson, well he witnessed Norbert's experiments of creating his own personal army via Evelyn's womb, and decided to transfer to Dauntless in order to learn how to shoot in order "to put a fucking bullet in Norbert's and Evelyn's skulls."

The Dauntless borns and transfers are waiting for their stage one ranks.

"As you learned during the first day of training, you will be ranked," I said. "These ranks help the leaders to determine which order you pick your jobs. Here are your ranks."

Andrew POV

Wow, second place in stage one. Just two more stages until Jeanine, Matt and I are officially Dauntless members.

"We did good," Matt said. "I got fourth, Jeanine got third and you got second, Andrew. Keep it up, we will be able to pick our own jobs instead of guarding the fence."

"I'm hoping to enter the medical track," Jeanine said. "Matt, are you thinking weapons development?"

"Yeah, I am. What about you, Andrew?"

"I am thinking the Dauntless leadership program," I said.

"That's a good position for you," Matt said.

"Well, I'm off to spend some alone time with Natalie outside of Max's glare," I said. I took Natalie's hand and we went out of the training room, hand in hand.

"So how's Eric doing?" I asked Natalie while looking at the waterfall in the chasm.

"He's a feisty little one," Natalie said. "The doctor found another baby hiding behind Eric, a little girl."

"What? How can it be possible?" I asked.

"Well, the doctor said that it is common," Natalie said. "The same thing occurred with Hana and by the looks of it, Zeke will have a twin sister named Cara."

"What do you want to name her?" I asked.

"Beatrice Elizabeth, Tris for short."

"Beatrice Elizabeth, I like it."

Not only I am expecting a son, but I am also expecting a little girl.

Author's note: Bet that you were not expecting that Tris will appear earlier in the story and as Eric's twin sister. In case you are wondering about ages: Tori and George are 20, Hana and Max are 18, Natalie, Andrew, Jeanine and Matt are 16. Amar is 5 and he is Max's and Natalie's paternal cousin. Yes, Caleb will be in the story along with Uriah and Will, but they will be the three troublemakers.
