chapter 10
Tobias
Here I was again: the same hospital room, the same green chair. Tris was lying motionless on the sterile bed, her heart monitor beating steadily, as usual.
Except for this time she's still alive and she can breathe by herself.
Cara walks in with a clipboard in her hand and I lift my head up from her bed, still holding her hand.
"So?" I ask a little impatiently, half shouting at her.
She looks at me disappointedly,
"Four, I know you have had a rough time in the past two days but please don't take your anger out on me. I am here to help."
"You're right," I sigh, "I'm sorry, Cara, I just don't know what to do, how to react. So much has happened to her, I hate to see her like this."
I lay my head on the bed again, right next to Tris' waist.
"I'm guessing that you know now that Tris is pregnant, Right?"
I nod and she continues.
"Because of her early stage, she will be experiencing light sensitivity. She will walk into a room, just as she walked outside, and the light will make her dizzy. She was standing outside for too long and not shielding herself, which made her feel faint and she collapsed. There is nothing wrong with her, she just has to be careful and you have to take care of her. It's not easy, Four, for her."
I nodded again, this time a little more relieved.
She signed some papers and smiled, walking out of the room and leaving us alone again.
Tris shifted a little and her eyes fluttered open. It took a while for her eyes to adjust to the lighting and I was hoping that it wasn't too bright for her, but it wasn't. She looked around the room confusedly before her eyes met mine and she smiled sadly.
"Hey."
"Hey," she whispered.
I decided to start first before she could say anything that would change the subject, I had too many questions.
"Tris, you're really pregnant?" I half whispered.
She nodded a little, biting her lip.
"Tris, why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep it a secret from me?"
She took a deep breath in, "I wanted to tell you tomorrow Tobias, as a Christmas present. I wasn't trying to hide anything, I just thought it would be the best time and if you weren't happy then you could just forget about it, but Christina said it too early."
"Tris, you should've told me you were keeping it as a surprise, you were so quiet everyday and even a little upset sometimes."
She bit her lip again.
"I wasn't..sure if you wanted to be a father Tobias. When Chris shouted it out you had no emotion and I thought you were upset. That's why I just wanted to get out...I can't remember what happened next."
"You passed out from the light intensity. Cara said it's natural for your early stage."
She understood me and smiled weakly.
"So, shall we continue our walk?" she asked eagerly changing the subject like I knew she would, but it was sort of relieving.
"I don't think you're well enough to be out of..."
"Uhum, I am perfectly fine thank you very much." She shifted her legs out of bed and tried to stand up by herself but failed and collapsed again with a crash.
"Tris!" I ran over to her side of the bed, Oh God.
She lay on the floor, legs tucked around her, laughing at herself.
I breathed out, relieved, and extended my hands out so she could grab them. After she was up, I held her close by her hips just to avoid any other accidents and put her in bed again, but she rejected my idea.
"Tobias, I don't want to stay here anymore. I'm sick of sitting around all day doing nothing. I want to be up and about again, it just makes me feel so useless..."
I sighed at her, it wasn't easy winning a fight with Tris, which is partly why I loved her so much: she was so stubborn.
"Well, in that case, you better hold onto me."
She smiled, knowing that I understood her and stood up with my help as we made our way out of the room.
After a few steps she was up and about again, walking swiftly by my side.
"So, you never actually told me what you think of the baby, Tobias."
"Tris, to be honest I love the idea of being a dad and I can't wait. But I have a sickly feeling that I will turn out to be like Marcus. I don't want to hurt you..."
"Tobias Eaton you are NOTHING like your father! Don't you ever say that again. If you were, wouldn't have you beaten me up already?" she laughed.
"I guess you're right." I said, stopping us and holding her close.
The hallways were eerily silent again but I shook it out of my head, I wonder what everyone is up to. I haven't seen anyone after my incident with Zeke, I made a note in my head to get them back when Tris wasn't here.
I decided to be brave, to be dauntless and take the next step forward.
"Tris, ever since I first saw you I fell in love with you. I fell in love with your smile and your elegance and your bravery. When you climbed the Ferris wheel I realised how brave you really were and when we went through my fear landscape you helped me through like no one else ever has. You literally fell into my life and you gave me hope. Now that I found out that we have a baby on the way, nothing can be more perfect than this."
I got down on one knee and opened the box that had been in my pocket all day. She gasped and covered her mouth, tears gliding down her cheeks.
"I love you Tris Prior and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want you to be the first thing I see when I wake up and the last when I fall asleep. Tris, will you marry me?"
She was crying so hard by now but she kept smiling the whole time.
"Yes," she whispered, nodding her head lightly.
I slipped the ring on her finger and stood up to kiss her, pulling her close. We were millimetres away before everyone jumped out shouting "SURPRISE!" and popped confetti everywhere.
What had just happened?
Tris laughed as I held her close, silver stars flying through the air.
I looked at her and she looked back, before I finally gave up and leaned in kissing her like I used to, strong and passionate.
We broke apart after a few seconds to find everyone staring and saying 'aww'. We just shook our heads and smiled, loving every minute of it.
