New Chapter, Enjoy! ;)
"Wh…What!" I manage to choke.
"You're lucky the embryo was not harmed during the fight. I suggest you drop out of the training program you're in. You don't want to harm the baby growing inside of you."
I feel shaky from the sudden news. I lay all the way back, staring up at the whitewashed ceiling. Using the palm of my right hand I lightly press on my stomach. A baby is growing inside me right now! Suddenly, I feel nauseous. I gaze into the light as so many thoughts storm my head, baby names, possibly quitting the training program, my own mother. I suddenly remember Tobias, and look over to see his reaction. His head is gather in his trembling hands. Beads a sweat gather across his pail forehead. He doesn't look ready for fatherhood. Neither of us are.
"I have some personal questions for you. When was your last period?" The doctor inquires. I look at the doctor, I feel ditsy as my eyes adjust to not looking at the ceiling light anymore.
"Umm, about 4 weeks ago," I murmur, as the doctor jots it down on a clipboard. I feel heat creep up my next, at the intrusion on privacy.
"Did you notice you were late this week?"
"Not really, my mind has been on training,"
"Have you been feeling sick recently?"
"No I haven't felt any pain till today."
"Your records say you're currently unmarried, are you in contact with the father?"
"Yes, were engaged." I hang on to the last sounds, as if my engagement will end.
"Okay, I'd like him to come to all your appointments if he can. Your next one is in 4 weeks, on your 8 weeks mark."
Tobias jumps in, "Actually I'm the father." While keeping a professional appearance, the doctor nods his head, and writes it down on the clipboard. I take the time to study his face while it's up. His eyes are red, and his cheeks flushed. He runs a hand through his already ruffled hair.
"We are going to do some tests to check up on you and your growing child. If you can follow me please," The doctor requests.
"What do you mean you're pregnant?" Christina shouts.
"Can you please keep it down? Just because we're in our dorm, that doesn't mean no one can hear us." I hush.
"So that's why you were in so much pain after the fight," Chris realizes. "What does Four think?"
"He is still in shock, we both are. He went to go lay down after the appointment."
"Well, what do you think?" She checks.
"I have survived Dauntless training, and ranked number 1. I have fought in a war, and nearly been shot to death. But I don't think I can be a mother." I sit on my bed placing my head between my knees. Chris sits next to me, wrapping her arms around me.
"I'm here for you, we can get through this together." I look up and smile at her, and she smiles back.
"Have you experienced morning sickness yet, cause that is so gross," She jokes.
"Ha-ha, you're so funny," I say sarcastically while rolling my eyes. We talk for a few more hours. Everything from baby names to maturity clothes popping up in our conversation. Soon dinner time rolls around.
"I'm going to check on Four, we have some things to chat about," I tell Chris.
"I understand, I won't hold you back," Chris smiles as I exit the dorm. I walk down the hall to Tobias's apartment, using the key he gave me to let myself in. I quietly shut the door behind me. Tobias walks in from his bedroom.
"Hey," he greets, "I was just about to order pizza, want any?"
"That sounds amazing," I answer. He grabs his phone, making a quick order before hanging up. I sit on the couch, making myself at home. "We have some things to talk about," I pat the seat next to me, motioning for him to sit. He plops down next to me, one of his arms gently wrapping around my shoulders.
"It's been a crazy day," he sighs.
"Yeah, I agree. What are we going to do?" I mutter.
"What every other parent does," he jokes.
"I'm scared," I whisper.
"Honestly, me too. I don't want to end up like my father." I turn and face him.
"You will never be like your father, your so much better than he was," I reassure Tobias. He lifts his hand, cradling my cheek. With his thumb, he gently strokes back and forth against my cheek bone. His gaze is filled with love for me. I smile showing my love for him.
"Thank you," he mumbles. Tobias leans forward and softly kisses my lips. I sigh as he pulls away too soon. "We have more important things to discuss," His expression hardens, "I want you to move in completely with me."
I will not turn this book into another one of those cheesy pregnancy stories. Tris will still be kick-butt awesome. This is probably the girliest chapter in this story. It will take a different turn. I hope you enjoyed it! Love you 3
