So I'm basically sitting in the computer room at school uploading this chapter. I wanted to update asap.

Chapter 10
Tobias POV
I wake up and turn to put an arm around Tris. To my discovery she wasn't there. I open my eyes completely. I hear gagging sounds from the bathroom. I sign. Morning sickness hasn't been kind to Tris. She was already 5 months pregnant but the sickness hadn't past yet. I get up from the bed, slowly stretching my legs. I walk up to the open bathroom and kneel next to Tris who was still throwing her guts out. I take her hair out of her face and gently rub her back. After a while, she lifts her head from the toilet signalling she's done. She leans heavily against me and softly starts to cry. I wrap my arms around her. "Shhh, it's okay".
"No, it's not okay. I hate this. Why do I still have morning sickness when I'm already 5 months pregnant?" I sign and kiss her forehead. "I really don't know. I wish I could do something to help you". I whisper. She turns in my arms do she faces me. "I know you do. But you can't do anything. It's totally up to me to..." She gasps. I look at her worried. "Tris, what's wrong?" She doesn't reply but simply puts her hand on her stomach. "Tris, you're scaring me. Please tell me". I ask urgently. "The baby..., the baby, it's kicking". She smiles and takes my hand and places it on her swollen stomach.
At first I didn't feel anything. But suddenly, I felt a flutter under the palm of my hand. I grin widely and gaze at Tris. She seems to have completely forgotten about her morning sickness and stares in awe at me. I lift my hand from her stomach and place both hands on her face. I slowly kiss her, putting a lot of passion in the kiss. She pulls out of the kiss and gets up from the floor. I have to steady her as she tries to move too quickly. "Steady there, you just threw your guts out".
She gives me a death glare, saying only with her expression that I should shut up.
I put my hands up in the air. 'Okay, okay I get it. You sure you're going to be alright working today?" I ask while walking back to the bedroom to change. "Absolutely, I don't have to do much". I think she trying to convince herself more than she tries to convince me. I already know she's going to be okay. But that doesn't stop me worrying about her. "Okay, I'm off at 3. Care to take a walk outside the compound?" I ask while my jacket on. "I love to". She replies while taking a bite out of her muffin she grabbed from the kitchen. "I'll see you at the net then". I kiss her forehead and her lips. She pushes me away after the second one. "Go, you'll be late". I grin and walk out of the apartment.
I walk towards the Control Room. I try to open the door but find out it's locked. I frown, isn't Will supposed to be here? I take out my key and open the door. It's dark inside. This was really getting weird. I switch on the light not expecting at all what would happen. The light switches on and I look around. To my shocking discovery I see Will on the ground groaning while holding a bleeding shoulder. "Will, what happened?" I quickly kneel next to him. I carefully remove his hand and see that he's been shot. "Who did this?" I ask.
"Eric, he shot me. He... he came in and...and threated me". He pants. Of course Eric would shoot someone without reason. But why Will? He hadn't done anything. "He said he was...he was looking for you". Will continues. I sign. Eric has always been jealous of me. I was first and he was second. That's how it worked between us. Will looks up frightened. He doesn't have to tell me who's standing there. I know already who it is.
I slowly stand up and face Eric who is standing with a gun pointed at me. "Really Eric? You want to shoot me? Is that your plan to get rid of me?" I say, carefully watching my words. He laughs. "No, I don't want to get rid of you. I just want to hurt that little wife of yours". I suck in a breath. Of course he would want to hurt me instead of Tris. He knows if he hurts me, he would hurt Tris. She would crumble if something happened to me.
"And I thought you were from Erudite and you were smarter than this". I don't care what I say to him anymore. I know I'm not getting out of here unscratched. I turn my eyes to the control pad. At the right there is an alarm button. If you push the button, an alarm goes off around the entire compound. It's meant for emergency's if something goes wrong in here. And this is an emergency. "I didn't do anything to try and hurt you Eric. So I don't understand why you are doing this". I lunge towards the button. I hear a gun go off and feel searing pain. I don't even know where the bullet hit me. I sink towards the ground, but after pushing the button. The gun goes off again, but I can't feel anything. I have gone limp against the ground. Darkness welcomes me. Before darkness takes me, I vaguely see men trying to restrain Eric. Everything goes black after that.
Tris POV
I was sitting behind my desk doing some paper work when I hear an alarm going off. I freeze, knowing it's the alarm from the control. I calm myself before standing up and walking towards the door. When I open the door I see people running towards the control room. Several leaders are trying to guide people outside. With a heavy feeling I run with them.
A crowd is forming around the room. I see paramedic's run towards the room. My eyes grow wide when I see Christina walking out while trying to support Will. "Christina, what's going on? Where's Four?" I ask expecting the worst. She looks at me with a pained look. I start to panic. No, not Tobias. Why him? He's already suffered so much. I see paramedics coming out of the room with an unconscious Tobias on a stretcher. I make a run towards them but a pair of arms stops me. I immediately start squirming to get loose. But the person holding me is too strong. "Let go of me, I need to see him!" I scream. "You can't, they are trying to save his life right now". Zeke's voice whispers. I crumble in his arms crying. He just holds me knowing I need someone. And that someone can't be Tobias because he's almost dying. I don't know how long I'm on the ground crying, but a pair of arms lifts me up and carries me. I'm put on a bed and instantly fall asleep, exhaustion taking over me.

I bolt up in bed. This isn't my bed. I look around me. This is Zeke and Shauna's apartment. What I'm doing here? Then I remember the shooting. Tobias, my husband was shot. Zeke carried me to his apartment knowing I was in no condition to go to the infirmary. I get up from the bed and walk to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I take a deep few breaths. I look at the clock. 8:00 PM. Wait, have I been sleeping for so long? I walk out of the apartment to the infirmary. I need to know what condition Tobias is in. And who did this. I already have some suspicion.
I walk into the infirmary with a heavy feeling. I see Zeke sitting in the waiting room. "Zeke, where is he? How is he?" I say softly while sitting next to him. Zeke signs. "He's still in surgery, he's been shot twice. Once in his upper leg and in side of his stomach. They said that they could stop the bleeding in his leg but not in his stomach. He's been in for a couple of hours now". I close my eyes and try to think about something else. This morning he was just fine and smiling like he always does. And now, not even a day later, he's fighting for his life. Tears threaten to fall but I wipe them away. I can't cry now.
"And who did it? Who shot Tobias? And Will?" I remember Christina half carrying Will out of the Control Room. "Eric, he was guarded out of the room. He's in jail right waiting for a possible court session". I want to go to the jail he's in and kill him. Why must he destroy our life's? Why does he have to be so jealous? "Hey, he's a fighter. He will survive and recover in no time". Zeke rubs my arm, comfortly. I look at him and show him a grateful smile.
"Are you Mrs. Eaton?" I look up and see a doctor next to me. I immediately stand up. "Yes, I am. How is he?" I'm expecting the worse as the doctors face turns grim. "The surgery went well, but he has lost a lot of blood. The bullet in his stomach was very deep and it caused a lot of internal bleeding. We don't know when he will wake up. It could be tomorrow but it could also be a week or a month". The doctor carefully explains. I sign. "Can I see him?"
"Yes you can. Follow me". I hug Zeke, telling him he can go home. I then follow the doctor to the ICU. They have put him there to keep a better eye on him. The doctor leads me in a room. "Push the button if you need anything". I thank the doctor for his kindness. I walk towards the bed and see Tobias hooked up to all these unknown machines.
I sit down on the chair next to the bed. I take his hand and kiss it. I look at his face. He looks so peaceful when he's asleep. The only thing is that he's in an induced coma so he can heal better. "Hey, you gave me quite a shock". I say hoarsely, already feeling tears threating to fall. "You have to survive, you just have to. I can't live without you. I need you. We need you". I put my hand on my stomach. "Please just fight. For me and our baby. Our baby can't grow up without a father". Tears start to fall over my cheeks. I put my head on the bed not releasing his hand. I slowly cry myself to sleep, praying that Tobias would be alright.
So much drama, I know. I wanted to a little bit more drama into the story. And this just popped into my mind. Don't worry, I'm not killing off Tobias. I've always thought of Eric being jealous. I hope you like it! Please review!
