So, one of my biggest fanfiction pet peeves is when someone posts a super short chapter. I'm now doing one of my pet peeves, so I'm not even gonna call it a whole chapter. Basically, I'm a theatre girl. If you're involved in theatre in any way, check this. I am the technical director, lighting designer, scenic designer, scenic artist, stage manager, shop foreman, ownership liaison, master carpenter, AND master electrician for one show. Tech week starts in two days. Sound unbelievable? Well, believe it. This is why this chapter is three paragraphs long and I thoroughly apologize for it.
I stare at the calendar for what seems like hours but what must have been only a few minutes because when I look up, I can still hear Tobias's snores from across the room. May 17th…May 17th…how can that be? I sit down hard on the floor and calculate the dates in my head, my mouth forming words but no sound escaping from my lips. I'm sure I must look ridiculous, like I'm speaking to spirits, and I almost wish that's what it is. I don't know what to do at this point, and I look up at Tobias to see him sleeping peacefully. There's only one other person I can go to with this.
***To Be a Dauntless***
"Christina!" I yell, pounding on her door. She's always been a heavy sleeper. The door opens in a few moments and Christina stand there, clad in a skimpy black nightgown and rubbing her eyes like a little kid. Will sits on the bed behind her, his head resting on his hand.
"Wha…? Tris? What the hell? It's like 4 in the morning!" Christina yawns and I nod.
"I know. I need…I need your help." I say, resting my hand on my stomach and giving Christina a meaningful look. Her eyes widen, all the sleep (and color) seeming to drain from her face. She glances to Will for a moment before stepping forward and closing the door behind her.
"Are you sure?" She asks, and I shake my head.
"No. I just calculated a few minutes ago. I'm two weeks late." I sink down against the wall. "What the hell do, Chris? This can't be happening now." I put my head in my hands and try to control my breathing. There are so many things running through my head right now.
Baby. I'm going to have a baby.
You guys went crazy with the reviews for the last chapter! Like, damn! I need to post cliffhangers for often...since there were so many new reviews, favorites, and follows I can't keep track of all of them to thank! So, thanks to all who took the time to do that and I hope to hear your thoughts on this mini-chapter!
Oh, and by the way...sorry trislandcaster XD
Review. Review. It's off to review we go!
