hi, all. I am so sorry! Sorry for being late and sorry for posting another short chapter. I had shows this weekend and COMPLETELY forgot to update. My integrity is totally out and I swear you'll get another chapter on Saturday! So sorry for the shortness, I'm really stressed and busy.
The next few hours pass like days. One minute I'm talking to Christina, and then my mind jumps ahead to the future. To a little baby girl rocking in her crib, and a voice, a quiet voice, singing a lullaby that I remember as a child. A moment later I realize the woman singing the lullaby is me. I turn my head and see Tobias next to me, smiling and holding his hand out to me.
"Beautiful, just like her mother…Tris," he says, pulling me close and whispering in my ear, "Tris…Tris…Tris…" And then I wake up.
Christina stands above me, a worried look on her face. "You alright there? You kinda spaced for a minute."
I nod, swallowing a gulp of air and resting my head in my hands. "Chris, how do I tell him? How could this have happened? I'm only 17…he's what, 19? What does that make of us?"
Christina sits down next to me, like a teacher to a troubled student. "You're thinking like the Abnegation. Here in Dauntless, children are born at a young age all the time. It's part of what makes us Dauntless." I can't tell her the real reason I'm afraid. Tobias and I are both Divergent, so what does that mean for our child? Would they be born Divergent as well?
"How do I tell him? He's in his bed, sleeping peacefully without a care in the world. He doesn't know that in a few months he'll be a father. What does that mean for our futures as Dauntless? In training the initiates?" All of these questions run through my mind and I run my fingers through my hair in frustration.
"Well, first things first, you need to tell him no matter what. But, I don't suggest telling Max or Eric. It'll only create trouble, and it's not like the pregnancy will affect you for the next five or so months. The initiate training will be well over by then. As for the rest, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it." She puts her arm around my shoulders and I suck in a breath. Now, it was time to tell Tobias.
I know, not much :(
Thank you to all that reviewed, favorited, and followed, I will congratulate your names publicly with the next chapter!
Review. Review. It's off to review we go!
