Love at Divergent High
Chapter 21: Pregnant?
I wake up with the sudden urge to puke, so I bolt out of the bed and race to the bathroom next door. I start puking my guts out into the toilet and it isn't long before I felt someone pulling back my hair and rubbing soothing circles on my back. The hands are familiar and I know that it is Tobias.
When I am done I flush the toilet and sit so my back is against the wall. Tobias looks down at me with a worried look on his face. "Are you all right?" He asks.
"I am now." I say.
"Do you want me to get you anything?" He asks.
"Could you do me some water and some dry toast please, that helps when I'm sick." I tell him.
"Okay." He says before kissing my forehead and leaving the room.
I remain seated on the floor for a few minutes before standing up and washing my hands. As I do I find an unopened box of the tampons I brought with me on the shelf next to the sink. I then look on the calendar that is hanging on the door. I look at the dates. I'm a week late. I think to myself. It has been four weeks since we came to New Jersey. Four weeks since Tobias and I had… sex. Shit. I think before quickly brushing my teeth and tying my hair back before going back into my room to get changed into some shorts and a t-shirt. I then grab my bag, rush out of the room and enter the kitchen. I grab my piece of toast before getting the keys to my Land Rover and sliding on my pumps before leaving the house. Everyone was watching me, but I don't care, this is important. I take eat my toast in a minute before getting into the car and driving away from the house and to the pharmacy ten minutes away.
When I get to the pharmacy I get out of the car and lock it before entering the shop. I walk to the aisle full of pregnancy tests. There are so many. I pick three random ones and walk to the counter where a middle aged woman stands, waiting for me. I give her the boxes and she looks at me with a sad face. A sad, judging face. A face that all teenagers get when faced with the possibility of a pregnancy. I quickly pay for them and put them in my bag before leaving and getting back in my car. I drive back to the summer home, thinking about the possibility of a baby being inside of me. Mine and Tobias' baby. Our baby. The baby we are going to love and cherish until the day we die.
When I get back home I rush back to the bathroom and lock the door behind me. The others were watching me again, but I don't care. I take the tests and wait. I have to say it is the longest three minutes of my life so far. Waiting for those three tests to tell me whether my life is going to change drastically, or not. When the timer goes off I can barely stand from the closed lid of the toilet that I sit on. I could be pregnant. I could be having a baby.
After a minute or two I do find the strength to stand and walk over to the side where the tests lay. I look and find three pregnancy tests that all tell me the same thing. Pregnant.
Tears are pooling in my eyes. I'm having a baby. I'm actually having a baby. I place a hand on my still flat stomach and smile. I'm pregnant.
I have to tell Tobias.
I leave the room, not bothering to move the tests at all. I go down to the living room, where they all sit, playing with Ashton. "Four." I say, they all look at me. Tobias stands up and walks over to me. "I need to talk to you about something, in private." I say.
"Okay." He says before taking my hand in his. I lead him to the bathroom where the tests are still on the side. "What do we need to talk about in here?" He asks.
I lead him to the side where the tests are and he looks at them, shocked. I see tears beginning to form in his eyes. He looks at me. "You're pregnant?" He asks.
"Yeah. We're having a baby." I say, smiling. He smiles too before lifting me up and spinning me around. I squeal and laugh as he does.
He puts me down after a few seconds before placing his hand on my stomach. "We're having a baby." He says, laughing. I nod. "I'm going to be a daddy." He says before kissing me passionately. I put my hand above his on my stomach as we kiss.
When we pull away from each other our hands are still on my stomach. "I love you, so much, both of you." He says.
"I love you both too." I say.
"When should we tell the others?" He asks.
"I don't mind. Do you want to tell them now?" I ask.
"Sure." He says before taking my hand and leading me downstairs where the others are still playing with Ashton. "Guys, we have to talk to you." Tobias says and the others look at us.
"I'm pregnant." I say and they all smile before jumping up and running over to us and bringing us into a group hug, leaving little Ashton on the floor, playing with his toys.
"Congratulations." They all yell at the same time.
"Guys I need to breathe." I say and they all let go of me.
"I'm going to be an uncle!" yells Zeke.
"You already are an uncle." Uriah says.
"I'm going to be an uncle again." Zeke says.
We spend the rest of the day, talking and laughing with each other. Talking about the baby that is growing within me. Talking about random things. Just talking. We order a Chinese for dinner and I have to admit, I do eat more than anyone else. But I'm pregnant. I'm eating for two now.
At ten Tobias and I go to bed, but we don't go to sleep straight away. We lay in bed, I'm lying on my back, Tobias is on his side so he is facing me. He has a hand on my stomach, rubbing it with small circles above where our child is. He kisses my stomach. "Hey baby. I'm your daddy and I love you and your mummy so, so much. I can't wait for you to be here. I can't wait to meet you and I know your mummy feels the same. Your mummy is the most amazing person I have ever met and I know she is going to be a good mum to you and all the brothers and sisters that you are going to have because we want to have a big family. I hope you don't mind that. No matter how many brothers or sisters you have we will always love you and spoil you, right up until the day that we pass. I love you." He says before kissing my stomach again and coming back up to my face, kissing my forehead. "I love you, Tris." He says.
"I love you too, Tobias. You are going to be an amazing daddy." I tell him.
"You're going to be an amazing mummy." He says before kissing me passionately. "We should get some sleep. Goodnight Tris." He says.
"Goodnight Tobias." I say before pecking his lips and drifting into a peaceful slumber.
Hey guys, hope you enjoyed it. Please review!
