Chapter 38
Okay, who saw that AMAZING Insurgent clip? *raises hand*
It impressed me. It was so cute.
Tris: "I'm not worth it"
Four: "No you are worth it, you are worth it to me"
AWWWWWWWW
Also, Happy Birthday Miles Teller!
Anyways, enough of my rambling. Here's the chapter.
TOBIAS POV *four days later*
I wake up to the sound of coughing. Tris is gone from my side.
"Tris?" I ask, exasperated. I get out of the bedroom and head for the bathroom. As I expected, I found her throwing up in the crapper again, kneeling in front of it. I place a hand to her back, avoiding her injuries.
"Tris, love" I look back at the sundial and see that it's six in the morning, "The doctor said the virus should've been over today"
"I'm" she coughed, "I'm sorry"
"Don't be" I said, "I'll call for the doctor again"
When I return, she's done, lying in bed again, though she seems fine.
"There she is"
The female doctor nods, "Let me grab my things"
While she does, I walk over to Tris, and kiss her forehead, "Are you okay?"
"I'm tired and I have a stomach cramp. Hell no" she says. Moody.
"The doctor's checking you out to make sure you're okay, okay?" he said, "But you look fine to me"
I touch her cheek; her skin isn't pale, which is a good sign. I kiss her forehead again.
"You have to go get that vote"
I smile, "I know"
"I'll be right here when you come back, okay?"
The doctor comes in and smiles at us. I whisper to Tris, "I have to get my jacket, I'll see you soon okay?"
She smiles weakly, "Okay"
The doctor kneels by her bed and as I grab my jacket and leave, I hear, "How many fingers am I holding up?"
I shut the door, and walk to the center of the compound. We recently moved back into the old compound, after repairing the damages made from the bomb, so I feel more normal here.
I head to the Pit, where most people are gathered. People clap as I walk up and stand above all. My hands shake and I bite my lip and hope I don't stutter while I speak.
Once it's quiet, I speak, "As most of you had heard" I say, trying to project my voice, "I have visited the queen, and she would like us to be part of her society. Another faction, that is"
I hear some mixed reactions and murmurs. I wish Tris was here to hold my hand through it.
"I wanted to consult with my fellow members to see what they would like. So, tonight, we will have a vote. The queen has promised us that she will supply us with food although, we do not steal from other factions or the castle. Any questions?"
The room is silent. I clear my throat as if I'm about to speak, but someone speaks up.
"Do we get anything else?"
I see that Six asked that question. I look into her eyes and see what she wants: her father back. It's all she's wanted. I shake my head to her, but try to communicate with my eyes that I will get her dad back, in addition or nothing. I don't want people to be asking favors from the castle; there would be far too many.
"Okay" I clasp my hands together, "All those in favor of joining the faction society?"
I don't see any hands go up, so I try to persuade them.
"I know you love to steal, so I'm sure I can make an exception that you can steal. Otherwise I won't take the deal. Sound good to you all?" That's when hands began to fly up and basically all of them were up. A majority.
I smile, "Alright"
Don't mind me, Imma page Break ;)
"Sorry my fiancé couldn't be here today, she's terribly sick" I say to the queen, with her sitting across from me. She smiles kindly at me, "What does she have?"
"Nothing serious, I hope. But she's been throwing up every morning and she's extremely moody" I say, and the queen's heart seems to lift, but she bites her lip as if to mentally scold herself, "Have you come upon a decision?"
I nod, "My community and I decided to join your society under a few conditions"
She nods as if to encourage me to go on, and I do, "That we receive prisoner Derek Kinniard and are allowed to steal"
She glances at me, "You're asking for a lot. The reason I asked in the first place was so that you guys could stop stealing"
"Oh. But my people love the Rebels because they steal"
"How about a compromise?" She says, tilting her head, "While part of the faction system, they are allowed to intrude, but not take anything"
I debate it in my head for a while. It could work. But I promised my members that I would let them steal.
"No, sorry. If you don't let them steal, I cannot accept your statement" I stand to leave, "I'm sorry"
PAGE BREAK
When I return home, Tris looks like a ball of happiness, no a ball of excitement. Although her hair was done in an extremely messy bun, I still loved it.
"You look much better"
She ran a hand through her short hair, smiling.
"I am"
I give her a quick peck on the lips and she takes my hands.
"Do you have a minute?"
"For you? Of course"
"Okay come here"
She dragged him to the couch, "Let me grab something, first"
I smiled as she left the room. She's so cute, sometimes. When she came back, there was a piece of clothing in her hand. A shirt, it looked like.
"This is for you" she said, giving it to me. I stared at the folded t-shirt, tilting my head. There was something weird…..Tris doesn't just give me t-shirts, she doesn't buy them for me. I stretch it out. Then I saw it.
Etched into the shirt was white text; and the text said one word.
Daddy.
"Does this mean that we're having a….." I couldn't finished. I was too shocked. But happiness washed over me. I smiled as wide as I could and tears threatened to come out. I'm going to be a dad…..
She nodded vigorously, wrapping her arms around me, "We're having a baby!"
Don't forget those TWO NEW CLIPS FROM INSURGENT. Yes, Two. One is not on the same channel as the first. The one with them in Amity is hilarious. I love my Miles Teller.
Happy B-day, Miles.
Good night!
