Tobias's POV
I run over to where Lynn is sitting on Mia. Lynn glares at me and asks, "what do you want?"
"Can I talk to her?" I ask.
"Okay, you can speak to your little girlfriend, but anything you can say to her, you can say to me." Lynn says. I nod and turn to Mia.
"Hello Four." Mia says. "How are you doing baby, long time no see."
"Why'd you do it Mia?"
"What, shoot her?"
"Yes damn it! Why'd you shoot her!"
"Because, if I can't have you, she can't either. We belong together! We were meant to be!"
"No Mia, we weren't."
"But Four-"
"Never mind Lynn, take her away."
Lynn nods and drags Mia away. I rush to the hospital to find everyone in the waiting room. They all glare at me except the 2 kids. The girl looks just like Tris except for her eyes and the boy looks like the bot version of Tris except with dark hair. Actually, the girl has my eyes and the boy has my hair...are they mine? No, they can't be. Unless... Matthew has light brown hair and green eyes. His hair is too light and his eyes are the completely wrong color. So he can't be the father.
"What are you doing here Four?" Christina snaps.
"I came here to see Tris." I say.
"Well too bad." Uriah says. "You can't just-"
"No." The girl cuts him off. "I wanna get to know this guy."
"Why?" Zeke asks.
"My sister said she wants to get to know him." The boy says.
"Yeah, we get that. But why?" Shauna asks again.
"I want to know my-" The girl is cut off by the doctor coming in.
"Hello, my name is ." The woman says. " is in a very serious state but she will live. She's a strong one. The bullet missed by 6.4 centimeters. Close call. You cannot see her until she is stable. But she's awake and asking to see her family."
Everyone nods and leaves. I'm about to leave when I feel someone tug my arm.
"Please stay dad." I hear the girl say. I turn around, wide eyed to see Matthew, the girl, and the boy, still here.
"I'm your dad?" I ask.
"Yes, and mom said she wanted to see her family." The boy says. "You're family."
"But I don't even know your names." I say. "Hell, I didn't even know I had kids."
"I'm Chrissy and that's Uri. We are both 7 years old." The girl says. "We were named after our godparents."
"That's nice to know, but I have a...rough relationship with your mom." I say.
"Oh please, mom told us everything." Chrissy says. "While Uri doesn't trust you, I wanna know my dad."
"Yeah, I don't trust you." Uri says. "But I wanna know my dad too. I have to see my mom first so come with us."
"Kids, don't be ridiculous." Matthew glares at them. "Four shouldn't even be allowed to see Tris!"
"We're not scared of you anymore!" Uri says.
"Yeah! Dad'll protect us." Chrissy says.
"Why you little...angels. Come now. Let's see your mother." Matthew drags them along with a death grip. What the hell? I pry them out of Matthews grip and they run behind me. Matthew glares at me and then sighs. He puts on a fake smile and opens the door to Tris's room. She's thrashing around with her eyes closed. She's having a nightmare.
"Oh no, not again." Uri says.
"What?" I ask.
"She's having another nightmare. She used to have them all the time. They're less frequent now but she still has them." Chrissy explains.
"I can calm her down, move out of the way brats." Matthew pushes them out of the way. He starts whispering comforting things to her and I start getting jealous. She punches him in the face and I stifle a laugh but the kids just start cracking up. Matthew gets up and glares at the children then storms out. I go up to Tris and hold her hand. I stroke her hair.
"Tris, it isn't real." She stops a little but still puts up a fight. "Tris, it's just a dream. Come on, wake up." I whisper. Her eyes open and she calms down when she sees the kids. They run up and gently hug her. She sees me and her eyes narrow.
"Why are you in here?" She asks.
"I wanted to see, apparently, the mother of my children." I say. She sighs.
"Kids, can you go into the waiting room." She asks. Fear covers their faces. "What's wrong?"
"Matthew is out there." Chrissy says.
"I thought you liked him." Tris says.
"Uh...about that..." Uri trails off.
"What?" I ask. "What happened?"
The twins seem to have a mental conversation with each other before looking at both of us and saying, "we need to tell you something." Tris and I nod. They slowly take off their shirts. I don't like where this is going. They turn around and we see scars on their backs. We gasp.
"What the- how long has this been going on?!" Tris exclaims.
"Every time he visits." Chrissy says.
"Why didn't you tell me?!" Tris asks.
"He made you sort of happy. Even if it wasn't truly happy, we still wanted to see you even remotely happy." Uri says.
"Oh my god." Is all I manage to get out.
"Tobias, can you do me a favor?" Tris asks.
"Anything." I say.
"Go out there and beat up Matthew, but not before telling him it's over." Tris demands. I nod and go out. I see Matthew sitting there. Before he can say anything, I punch him. I beat him unconscious but not before telling him that Tris is done with him. I go back inside to see the twins on each side of her bed, hugging Tris.
"Are you guys okay?" I ask. Chrissy pulls me into the hug and I laugh.
It's been 2 days since I last saw Tris and the twins. Matthew was arrested for child abuse and Tris got a new manager. Kelly, I think her name was. She has long raven hair and hazel eyes. She's really pretty but nothing compared to Tris. No one compares to Tris. Tris was really excited because Kelly was apparently her best friend back where she lives. Christina was upset Tris found a new best friend but Tris reassured her that no one could beat her in the best friend category. I still don't know if Tris and I are back together or not. In any other circumstance I wouldn't think so, but something happened after the kids left.
*FLASHBACK*
"So, I have 2 kids. Were you planning on telling me?" I ask.
"... I don't know." She says.
"Damn it Tris! You can't keep things like this from me!"
"I know but I couldn't face you after what happened."
"Tris, just listen to me on this one. I-"
"I don't want to listen to you."
"Mia came on to me and I pushed her off. But then she said she'd shoot you."
"How far would you have gone if I hadn't come in?"
"I didn't do anything with her."
"Yeah but how far would you have gone if I hadn't come in?"
"... To save you? All the way."
"... Get out."
"Tris just-"
"Get out! Get out get out get out!"
I cut her off by kissing her. She tenses then melts into the kiss. I wanted to do that the day I found out she was back. It's been 8 years since I last kissed her. 8 freaking years of hell. She pushes me off her, leaving me very confused.
"Just...give me time to think." She says. I nod and leave.
*FLASHBACK ENDS*
I'm in the cafeteria now with Lauren, Bud, and Tori. Out of nowhere, Kelly comes up to me and kisses me. I hear a gasp behind me. I turn around.
Tris.
