* four weeks later...
Tris woke up earlier than usual since she had to be down at the gates to lead a patrol. She slipped out of bed carfeul not to wake the sleeping Tobias next to her and walked into the bathroom to take a shower, After she finshed she pulled on a black t-shirt and a black pair of pants. She found her sneakers slipped them on and ran back to the bedroom to wake Tobias so he could go to work.
"Tobias," she said as she kissed him.
He opened his eyes,"Good moring," he said as he kissed Tris and her belly.
"I'm leaving so don't fall back to sleep," she said.
"Ok Love you two," he said as Tris turned aorund to head out the door.
She walked down the path until she arrived at the gates where her patrol was waiting for her. Today she actually got a group of seven which included Christina.
"Hey Tris," Christina said as she handed her a pistol.
"Hey thanks for bringing me one I didn't want to go all the way back to one of the armory," she said as she took the pistol and but it in her belt.
"No problem," she said, " so are we patrolling the whole border?"
"Yup then we will head back and switch out with Max's group," Tris said.
"Sounds good," Christina said.
"Ok let's get moving!" Tris yelled to the rest of the group.
Tris walked at the head with Christina next to her.
"So did you pick out any names yet?," Christina asked her.
"I haven't even picked out baby furniture yet," Tris responded.
"After we finish here we can go shopping and pcik out some baby things," Chrisitna said.
"Yeah that would be nice," Tris said.
"are you nervous about giving birth," Christina asked.
"To be honest a little because I think the pelvic exams are horrible but giving birth is going to be like trying to shove a baseball through a keyhole," she said.
"Yeah that's what I'm scared about and I think Will wants to have a baby," Christina said.
"Really?" Tris asked.
"Yeah ever since he found out you were pregnant he's been asking and trying to make love with me every second," she said.
"Christina not wanting to have sex with will," Tris said mockingly.
"Shut up," Christina said and she gave Tris a light shove.
They were both still chit chatting when Tris heard a rustle come from a patch of grass on the opposite side of the border.
"Did you hear something?," she asked Christina.
"No," she said as she turned to scan the terrain.
"Must have imagined it," she said as she continued walking.
Suddenly they heard a gunshot and one of the guards in their patrol fell to the floor. Then a whole chorus of shots began as the group continued to be fired at.
Tris took out her gun," Don't let them enter," she yelled to her patrol.
She began firing into the grass but the unseen enemy continued shooting. Then all at once it stopped. The patrol stopped and listened. Suddenly a wave of hooded black figures jumped out at the tiny patrol and began fighting them. Tris had only a moment to count at least twenty people before someone punched her right in the jaw. She fell to the ground as her ambusher kicked her in the back and stomach. She quickly scurried to her feet and fired at the figure who immediatly fell to the ground.
Then someone grabbed her from behind in a choke hold as another man began to punch her in the face. As he went in for another blow she twisted the man holding her around so he recieved the punch and she immediatly kicked out her foot and made contact with the other figure. They both crumpled to the floor. She heard a loud bang and a searing pain went through her left shoulder. She heard one more bang as yet another pain blossomed on her left knee. She fell hard to the ground and let out a loud groan. Instantly two of the figures were on top of her punching and gouging her with their fists and knives. The knife made contact with her left shoulder and intensified the pain. She felt the blood dripping down her arm as it soaked her shirt. She ignored the throbbing pain in her wounds and attempted to fight off the figures. She, however, felt herself weakening as spots appeared in the corners of her vision.
Suddenly she heard yells and the two figures where thrown off of her. Another patrol had arrived just in time to help her weakened one. They quickly made due of the ambushers. Tris just had enough time to see their attackers running off in the opposite direction of the dauntless compound before she blacked out.
