Tris POV
It was bittersweet coming back to Chicago. Of course, I was happy to be home and start things up again. But I had to admit that I had an amazing time with Tobias in California, even though we spent much of our time in the hotel room. Not that I'm complaining.
I can't help but smile at the memory, as I put my things back on the bathroom counter. We figured that it would be easier to unpack as soon as we got back rather than put it off. Especially since we wanted the apartment to be at least somewhat clean since our friends are coming over tonight.
Just as I have finished unpacking my small bag of toiletries, I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist from behind, and I bite my lip. I close my eyes, as I feel his lips press to my ear through my hair.
"What are you smiling about?" he murmurs into my ear.
"Nothing," I say. "I just love unpacking."
Tobias chuckles at this, as I turn around in his arms. His smile stays in tact, as he rests his forehead on mine and tightens his arms around my waist.
"I love unpacking, too," he says. I laugh, but he presses his lips to mine, swallowing the sound. I wrap my arms around his neck, as he pulls me closer to him until my front is pressed against his. We stay like that for a moment before he breaks the kiss and brings his lips to my ear again. "I can't believe I can really call you my wife."
I bite my lip, as his lips trail down from my ear to my neck. My eyes close for a moment, as I enjoy the feeling, before I remember that Christina is already on her way because for some reason, she felt the need to come before everyone else.
"Tobias," I groan. I try to pull away, but he pulls me back to him, and I can't help but laugh. "Christina is on her way."
"Of course she is," he mutters, as he finally releases me and pulls away so that he is looking down at me. "What is she coming here for anyway?"
"No idea," I shrug. "Apparently she has something to tell me."
Before he can say anything, there is a knock at the door. He groans, as I slip past him to leave the bathroom.
"Speak of the devil."
I roll my eyes at him, as I hurry over to the door and swing it open. I find myself face to face with a grinning Christina. I can't help but furrow my eyebrows in confusion, but she ignores it, as she throws her arms around me. I nearly fall over from her force, but I manage to catch myself and hug her back.
"Come on in," I murmur sarcastically.
"I missed you, Trissy!" she squeals into my ear, making me wince. She pulls back and looks at Four over my shoulder, her grin still in tact. "And Four, always a pleasure."
"Come on, Chris," I chuckle, as I close the door behind her. "What did you need to tell me?"
"Ah, girl talk," Tobias says, as he starts to walk away. "I'll leave you guys to it."
"No, no wait!" His shoulders slump slightly, as Christina gestures for him to come over. "I can tell you, too!"
I give him a look, telling him not to argue, and he rolls his eyes as he walks over to us. I look from him to Christina who is now practically bouncing up and down with excitement. I can't help but smile at the sight even though I have no idea why she is this excited.
"What is it, then?" Tobias asks, and I can't help but feel surprised that Christina doesn't shoot him a look or anything. If anything, she just looks more excited.
"Oh, nothing too important," she says, tapping her finger to her cheek. "I just got some new jewelry is all!"
Tobias and I look at each other, seemingly equally confused, before we look back at Christina, who is still grinning. She taps her finger to her cheek again and sighs.
"Am I missing something?" Tobias asks.
"Nope," she shrugs. "Like I said, I just got some new jewelry."
Just as I open my mouth to ask what she is talking about, she taps her cheek again, and my eyes fall on her hand. It is only then that I notice the diamond ring on her finger. A gasp escapes my mouth, and her grin widens. She starts giggling, as I wordlessly raise my own finger to point at the ring, my mouth open in shock.
"What, too flashy?" she says with a smirk.
"Oh my god, Chris!" She giggles again, as I throw my arms around her. "I can't believe it! When?"
"While you guys were away," she says before pulling away to look at me. "I was dying to tell you, but I wanted to wait until you got back."
"I didn't know it was possible for you to stay quiet about anything for this long," I say teasingly, making her roll her eyes. "Seriously, Chris. I'm so happy for you."
"Me too!" she squeals. "Okay, so you're gonna be the maid of honor. Obviously! And Four... Hmm, I'll find something for you!"
I look at Tobias, just as he rolls his eyes. I can't help but laugh, as Christina starts spouting out everything that she wants at her wedding, as she starts talking about all the places we'll have to go to find her a dress. I bite my lip to keep myself from smiling like a crazy person, as she goes on and on.
I cannot believe how unbelievably surreal it feels. To be so happy. To be able to share in my best friend's happiness with her. Years ago, I never would have thought that my life would turn out this way. And now that I'm here, it still feels too good to be true.
"I'm glad you're doing well," Doctor Reyes says, as I play with the zen garden. "Though I have to admit, I'm a bit confused."
"By what?" I ask, looking up at her.
"Well, you're telling me that you're happy. And for the most part, you are at peace with yourself. I guess my question is, what brings you in today if you feel that things are going well?"
"Things have been going so well," I tell her, running my fingertips over my wrist nervously. "Really well. I'm happier than I ever thought I could be. But there's one thing that still scares me."
"What is that?" she asks softly.
"Well, I'm married now. I guess I'm just worried for the next step."
"The next step, as in..." she trails off.
"Well, uhm..." I look down at the light, barely visible scars that still reside on my wrist. "I found something out after I was... shot. I never told Tobias, and I have no idea how to tell him. But because of where I was shot, the doctors told me..."
I look up at her, as she stares back at me patiently. I bite my lip and take a deep breath. It will be the first time I have ever said it out loud, and that scares me even more. As soon as I say it out loud, I know that it will be more real. As soon as I say it out loud, I know that it will really hit me.
"What did the doctor say?" she says softly after a moment of silence.
I feel tears pooling up in my eyes, but I blink it back quickly.
"He said I can't have children."
