Tris P.O.V.
Tobias just left the room and I am hugging Christina. I missed her so much. I can't believe she is here. But then again, I can't believe Tobias is here. Or me. I still can't believe what luck it was that the stupid guard left my cell door half unlocked.
"How have you been Tris and don't lie to me. I can still tell when people lie to me," she says while smiling at me and sitting on the coach.
I give her a look and say, "How do you think, I have been locked up and tortured for 3 years, went through hundreds of serum testing's and lost my baby. So yeah, I am good thanks." I didn't mean to be so harsh, it just came out.
She gasps at me and asks, "Baby, what baby Tris?"
Shit. I didn't mean to say that, it just slipped out. Well, no taking it back now. "I had a son while I was at the Bureau. They killed him. It was Four's." I tell her, my voice breaking near the end.
"But he never said anything about you being pregnant. I didn't even know you two did it." She says while gaping.
I tell her as softly as possible so Tobias doesn't hear, "He didn't know. I found out when they took me. I only told him this morning. I don't know what he is thinking though. It seems that I hurt him with what I did in the weapons lab."
Christina sighs and looks at me and says, "You have no idea. After you died, I found him in his old house with memory serum. He wanted to erase his life, he was in so much pain. He was so consumed with grief that I had to call him a coward just to make him stop and think about what he was doing. He actually lunged at me and we had a few words before he started crying."
I just sit there and listen to her, not believing that he would have done that. I am a nobody, but it feels like I was something to him. I remember when we were in the Erudite Compound and he told me that if I died, that he would die too. I guess that was his way of dying, taking his memories of me and trying to start new.
We chat a bit more, Christina telling me a bit about herself. She works at the Chicago Relocation Office; she helps people that are relocating from the Fringe to Chicago. She started dating a guy with the name of Lukas a few months back. Sounds like it is serious and she really loves him. She tells me that Uriah died just before I 'died'. They took him off life support in the compound. She then tells me about all the changes around Chicago and how big the world is.
After a while, Tobias stumbles in the sitting room, mumbling apologies for interrupting. He just needed something to drink from the kitchen. He was about to go back to the room when I call him over to sit next to me if he wanted.
"Are you sure, I don't want to interrupt anything," he says, looking between me and Christina.
I look at him and was about to say something, when Christina says, "I need to go anyway. I still need to prepare dinner for Lukas and me."
I give her a hug and tell her I missed her and that we should catch up again soon. She tells me she will visit as soon as she can. She says goodbye to me and Tobias and leaves.
"Do you want something to eat? I can make us pasta if you want?" Tobias asks me.
I turn to him and nod. "I just want to take a quick shower and then I can help you if you want."
"Sure, it doesn't matter, you need some rest. You have been through a lot. I still wanted to ask you, do you want to go to the cops and make a case against them? For what they have done to you?" he asks me while placing water in a bowl.
"How? It will be my word against theirs. How will I prove that this was them? They are outside the wall. It will be no use." I tell him, whispering the last part.
He looks at me and frown, saying, "Then we will try and prove it. They will not get away with what they did to you. What they did to us." He turns around and starts with the pasta.
"I will be back in a bit," I say, leaving to go and take a shower and think about what Christina has told me.
After the shower, I get dressed and head to the kitchen to help him with the food. I ask him with what I can help, telling me I can set the table. I get everything ready and sit at the counter watching him. He is deep in though about something, because he doesn't even see me staring at him. Or so I thought. He turns around with a smile on his face and comes to stand in front of me. Before I know it, we are kissing. Every time he kisses me it feels like the first kiss. I really have missed this, this closeness we shared. How did I live without it, I think to myself.
All too soon he pulls away and get the food from the stove. We sit and eat in silence until he start talking, making me jump a bit.
"Tris, can I invite the gang over tomorrow so we can talk about what our options are against the Bureau? I am sorry if this makes you uncomfortable, but I need to make them pay. They took everything from us and I can't stand by and do nothing." he says looking at my face.
I think a few seconds and tell him it will be okay. "What day is it anyway? I haven't been able to keep track of anything while I was there." I ask him.
"It's Friday today, so if you want, we can go walk around a bit tomorrow morning before they come over at noon. Only if you feel up to it." he tells me.
"That will be okay." I say while standing up and collecting my dirty dishes. I go to the sink to wash them, only to find him standing next to me drying them off.
When we are done, we go and sit on the coach, him holding me and occasionally kissing me. We watch some movie on the TV; I think that is what he said it was. I drift asleep in his arms thinking about everything that is to come.
