Stella Nite Wolfblood, hmm okay... thankyou!
Yasmin allyson Eaton, Andrew's gone though! Omg, is it?! Hahaa :)
Hannah (Guest), haha, I apologise deeply!
PenguinTiff, Ahh nice!
I got a sweet PM this morning from 'Fourtris will last' and they remembered that my birthday was this month! You put a smile on my face. Much love.
Sarah's POV:
Btw, it is 1st of November; Shauna is still 11 weeks pregnant.
I watch in awe as the scenery changes to one of a million buildings lighting up the area. A few stretches to touch the clouds and I see a weird vehicle in the sky.
"What's that, up there?"
"That's a plane." David tells Hector over the Sphere who signs it to me. I nod mindlessly, grinning at the hundreds of people walking in different directions simultaneously. A little girl sees me as the car slows, and smiles, waving before being pulled away by her mother.
"She reminded me of Prim," Tris mumbles when our eyes meet in the side mirror. I laugh and nod again.
"This place is beautiful," I whisper and Hector links our hands together. I beam at him and he kisses my temple. Tris smirks when I look at her so I blush.
It was his 15th yesterday and I smile at the memory of paintballing for the first time. Yes, the first time and it was great! It was also Halloween, where the boys went wild with the pranks and the girls dressed up. Hector made sure to kiss me at every opportunity he got because I got a lot of attention, due to my Minnie Mouse outfit Chris stuffed me into.
We reach a pair of 'traffic lights' and suddenly, blaring music reaches our ears, so we look to the right to see Uriah jamming it out. Marlene facepalms and we all chuckle. Uriah does crazy moves in his seat, occasionally doing the 'wave' to hit Zeke, who sits in the passenger seat. The light goes green and Eric speeds off with Tobias and Bud in tow.
"On your right is the airport. Behind there is where we are situated. See you soon," David murmurs before cutting off.
"Is it just me or is anyone else feeling scared?" Tris thinks aloud.
"You could be mistaking that for nervousness," says Marlene over the radio.
"Not me, I'm hyped!" Uriah screeches cheerfully. I gasp in fake horror.
"No? I thought you were upset!" I remark sarcastically. Everyone howl with laughter while Uriah growls.
"It's always the Pedrad boys who get burned by the Prior girls," Shauna points out.
"Especially by one who is 4 years younger," Tobias interjects.
"Who asked you?" Uriah screams and Tobias smirks, knowing Uriah is glaring at us through the back window.
Time is skipping along and stumbles across a discovery. (wink wink!)
Tris's POV:
We stroll through the entrance of the Bureau.
The whole place is glass, with a waterfall in the centre. A short man with brown hair in a wheelchair sits in front of it, watching us intently.
"Ah, Tris Prior."
"David." I nod. He wheels over to us.
"Nice to meet you all." Chris scoffs.
"In the flesh."
"That's better," Chris mutters and I snicker.
"Tori?" a male voice yells. We all spin and see a masculine version of Tori sprinting towards us. She drops her stuff and meets him halfway. Her body trembles with sobs.
"I should hate you but I don't."
"I missed you too!" George laughs and Tori hits him on the back.
"Tris Prior. Looking as bold as ever." My eyes shift and settle on the dark-skinned male I have come to miss every day.
"Amar Dalsan. Looking as dead as ever." I nod.
"I deserved that." He smiles. He holds out his arms from beside George and a tear slips from my eye. I drop my bag and jog into his arms then he holds me tightly.
"You left me," I whisper. He nods in my hair.
"I'm sorry. It was to protect you as well." I sniff and clutch onto him tighter.
"They were close to finding you out," he continues and more tears fall, "I missed you." he mumbles after and I let out a breathy laugh.
"I actually missed you too." We release each other and he wipes away my tears.
"Okay, enough of the girly reunion. Where's my manly hug?" Zeke interjects.
"That's one of the worst things to say to a gay guy." I shake my head. Amar scowls and Zeke raises his hands in surrender.
"You're an idiot," Uriah mutters before shaking Amar's hand.
"Long time, dude."
"Too long," Amar murmurs, staring at me then Tobias. I blush profusely and Tobias scratches his neck nervously.
"Tobias Eaton. You finally tamed the wild one?" I scoff and flick his ear, emitting a laugh from everyone. A clap brings us back to reality and David is near a door.
"You are sharing a room."
"All 19 of us?" Eric asks incredulously.
"Yep."
"That's just weird," Sarah grumbles before strutting into the room with Hector in tow. I shrug, pluck up my bag and walk in. The others follow. The room is big with at least 20 beds in here. A row of 10 on one wall with another row on the other wall. I go to the far end by the window and Shauna snags the bed opposite. Eric stays near the door while everyone else situates himself or herself. Sarah is next to Tobias with Hector on her other side so she is close to me. Uriah and Marlene stay on the same side with Zeke and Shauna and so does Medward. Celynn are on our side, meaning Wilstina, Pamber, and Tud are closest to Eric.
"Right. It is pretty late so y'all get some rest and we'll meet in the cafeteria. The bathrooms are across the hall with towels and other stuff. Amar and George will come in the morning to take you to breakfast. See you soon." David wheels himself out and the couple bid us goodnight.
"We're finally out," Will whispers and we share glances, the fact dawning on us.
"We are." I grin. The girls migrate to the bathrooms to change into PJs and we all relax. I lay on my side, facing Tobias.
"You're too far," I whine. He gets up and pushes the bed. It slides and he smiles in triumph. Zeke hollers cheerfully and soon all the boys, and Lynn, are pushing their beds closer to their girlfriends.
"That's better," Shauna quips. We all chuckle and fall into a comfortable silence.
"I feel like this is initiation," I groan.
"So do I!" Eric speaks up from across the room.
"I see your point," Celeste giggles.
"You guys have been quiet," Uriah says to Medward.
"We're still adjusting," Myra points out.
"Do you know how many people were staring at me?" Edward complains.
"I saw that. It was creepy. They had no shame," Sarah laughs softly before taking off her hearing aids and smiles at me. I mouth 'I love you' and she does the universal sign for it.
"Good night, guys. Remember adults aren't as hyper as you," Bud chuckles.
"So you do admit you're old!" Uriah says.
"Really?" I laugh. I hear a pillow thump on Uriah.
"Mar!" I giggle and stare into the blue eyes that are focused on me. I grab hold of his hand and beam.
"Good night," I whisper before pecking his lips. He kisses back and mumbles a good night on my lips. I fall asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.
Middle of the morning. 2nd of November. Shauna is 11 weeks and a day along.
My stomach lurches during a conversation we are all having and I stumble out of the room, dashing to the bathroom, barely making it to the toilet bowl before throwing up. Shauna's hands rub my back and hold my hair.
"You okay?" I nod shakily and get up, flushing the toilet.
"Must be a reaction to whatever I ate." Shauna looks at me weirdly and I raise an eyebrow.
"I've seen you eat. It's like your stomach doesn't register what is being consumed before digesting it."
"So what are you saying?" I whisper, fearing the answer.
"You might be pregnant."
"No." I shake my head furiously, stepping backwards and collapse to the floor. She gives me a sad smile and tears leak out my eyes. My mouth trembles and I stifle a sob. Shauna kneels down and collects me into her arms. I hyperventilate slightly and she rubs my back, soothing me.
"Don't jump to conclusions but it's a possibility," she mumbles.
"We didn't use a condom three days after my birthday," I babble in realisation, clenching my fists and scramble out of her arms, punching the wall in frustration. Not a baby, not now.
"Let's take at least three pregnancy tests before going to the nurse. It could just be a scare," she reassures me, fear evident on her face.
"Girls, you okay in there?" Amar knocks. Chris slips in, sees the dent in the wall, and stares at my bloodied knuckles.
"Yeah!" Shauna yells back. I wash my face and knuckles, still trembling, and dry them. I take deep breaths and we are silent.
"May I ask what's happening?" I bite my lip and look at her through the mirror but look back down, tears rolling down my cheeks in fat blobs.
"Tris. Don't get all panicked over this," Shauna murmurs softly.
"Over what?" Chris raises her voice.
"Guys?" Will speaks. Marlene opens the door, and I make eye contact with Tobias and his face contorts into worry but the door shuts before he can say anything.
"She might be pregnant."
"Oh, yay!" Marlene claps.
"More like, f*ck no," Shauna retorts to Marlene.
"I have a solid fear of becoming Andrew. He might be dead but the memories are still with me." Chris's face falls and she hugs me from behind.
"What if I am pr-"
"We're all here. We know your heart is gold." I growl and punch the mirror but before I can get another hit, Chris is dragging me away, and Lynn bursts in with Amar.
"Why did I hear shattering?" Lynn asks and Amar sighs.
"She punched the mirror. And the wall, I'm assuming. Come on, we're going to the infirmary," Amar speaks, pulling me. I wince at the throbbing of my right hand and wipe my face with my jacket sleeve. We all walk out and I am bombarded with questions. Sarah taps me; I look at her calmly.
"Your knuckles," she exhales. I plant a grin on and she shakes her head. Tobias stands next to me but keeps silent and I mentally thank him.
"We are going to the infirmary," Shauna declares.
"We shouldn't be long," Amar reassures the group and the six of us stalk off in a different direction.
Time skip!
You are 4 weeks and a day pregnant. You are pregnant.
You are pregnant.
The words bounce around in my brain and I barely feel myself trembling as I scream and sob, twisting in Amar's arms.
"Tris!" Shauna shouts. Lynn wraps herself around my legs while Marlene holds my hands behind my back. Chris and Amar stand in front of me. Shauna stands a distance away. Protecting her baby.
Baby.
"Tris, calm down!" Chris speaks fearfully but sternly.
"You need to calm her immediately. Her blood pressure is increasing. It will harm the baby," Matthew demands.
Harm the baby. I gasp and gulp for air, thinking happy thoughts.
"Get Four," Lynn instructs. I whip around and shake my head at Shauna who begins to leave. She halts in her track.
"No," I whisper, finally regaining my breath and slump into Chris's arms. Lynn releases my legs and stands up. I fall into Amar's waiting arms and he shushes me as I begin to talk.
"You're fine. We'll get through this. We always do."
"We, meaning?"
"Touché," Amar scoffs, realising my hidden message. I pull away first and stare at the five people. Well six, including Matthew.
"I'm scared," I mumble, looking at the floor. Lynn steps in front of me, lifts my chin up.
"Eh? The bold Dauntless leader? I don't think so," she scoffs. I crack a smile and take deep breaths.
"I'm hungry," I groan. Amar beams.
"And here she is!" I whack his chest and we travel to the cafeteria.
"Tris!" Zeke yells, beelining towards me.
"What happened?" Uriah continues, inspecting my bandaged hand.
"You've been crying," Celeste states and I give a 'really' look.
"Messed up my hand pretty badly. It hurt like hell." Zeke eyes me sceptically but shrugs it off.
"You okay?" I jump at the quiet voice and Tobias's eyes become concerned. I force a smile and nod. Chris sighs and I glare at her.
"I'm confused." Hector points between the two of us.
"Something else happened," Myra says.
"And that is?" I snort and walk off to the breakfast bar.
"What happened?" I hear Uriah ask.
"That's for us to know and you to find out." I smirk at Lynn's response. However, it falters and I sprint out of the hall, dashing into the nearest toilet. I hurl and the toilet door slams.
"Tris," Amar mutters and I begin to sob. Again. I subconsciously place a hand on my stomach.
"There's a human. Growing inside me right now. How can that not freak you out?" I think aloud. He kneels besides me and I cry myself into darkness.
Tobias's POV:
I stare at the sleeping figure in the dim room from my spot on her bed and sigh heavily. She grunts and rolls over, facing the door. Her eyes flutter open and I smile.
"Hey," I whisper. She plants a smile on her face and I hold out the waffles on the plate. She sits up and eats them gratefully.
"Is everything okay?" I ask.
"Yeah!" she says.
"Cut the bullshit," I spit and her eyes widen. I shake my head and stand up.
"You punched something, twice. Cried your eyes out and had to go to the infirmary with five people when you could have easily gone with one girl," I rattle off. Her eyes avoid my questioning ones.
"What is going on?"
"Nothing!" she defends and I huff.
"Nothing's going on," she whispers, on the brink of tears. I sit by her and she snuggles into me, tears falling.
"I'll always love you. What could be possibly going on, that you're scared to tell me about?"
"I'm afraid it will drive you away." I pull away and stare into her grey eyes.
"Nothing can drive me away from you." She snorts and plays with my fingers. Her eyes well up again as she stares into mine.
"I love you," I whisper, hoping to encourage her to tell me.
"Is there enough space in your heart for another person?" she asks and I narrow my eyes in confusion. She sighs quietly and places my hands on her abdomen. I mull over her words and it clicks.
"You're pregnant?" I breathe. She nods hesitantly and I gaze at her stomach that would expand over time.
"You're pregnant," I repeat strongly and she snorts.
"Stop saying that..." I bite my lip apologetically, remembering her fear.
"You have the power to become an abusive mother." She flinches and scoots away from me. I shake my head and tug her to her previous position.
"You're the one who has the choice to either let your past influence your future or not. And I'll stay by you. Only if you stay with me." She smiles softly, looking into my eyes.
"Of course I will, cos you're all I need," she whispers, pecking my lips.
B-B-BOMBSHELL! YOU LIKEY? WHO CAUGHT THE SAM SMITH REFERENCE? TILL LATER, BOOKSLOVER2000...
