Sorry for chapter 16 being so short. I am going to go ahead and jump to right before labor and delivery.

POV-Tris
These past days have been long. Tobias and I have visited Erudite, and Candor shortly after he got 'promoted'.
Because Tobias excepted the leadership position, we are getting to move into a new apartment.
" how many more boxes do we have to pack?" I ask.
"I think about two or three." he says.
" let me help finish packing." I say.
"Tris." he looks at me sympathetically.
"you know you cant help." he tells me.
"its just putting things in a box." I retort.
"Tris, you herd what Dr. Mindy said. you have to take it easy. she also told you that you cant do really any lifting at all."
he is right. I am just not used to feeling helpless. I don't like it.
"fine." I say.
he just comes up and hugs me.
"I love you. you know that right?" he asks
" I would love help, but its not good for the baby, or you."
" I know, I- it just I don't like feeling helpless. like I need everyone else to do simple things for me."
he just hugs me tighter.
A few hours have passed. he finished packing.
"so when do we move?" I ask.
" I thought we moved next Thursday." he responds.
"okay." I say.
I start on my way to the bathroom. once I get there, I feel a gush, and than a bunch of pain.
I don't know what to do so I scream.
"TOBIAS!" I scream.
He comes rushing in.
" Tris, what's wrong."
" I think my water broke." I reply.
he looks shocked. like the wind was knocked out of him. he stands there with his hands clenched around his mouth.
" Tris. we got to get you to the hospital NOW."
I don't argue.
he helps me up, and we head out the door with out grabbing anything.
POV-Tobias
I can't believe this is happening. I am worried, and excited at the same time.
I am going to have a kid.
I want to be excited desperately, but fear of becoming that monster consumes me.
Tris keeps reassuring me that I won't, but she does not know that.
not only am I worried about that, but I am worried that her father is going to chew me up and spit me out.
we are going to have to tell them. about the miscarriage and this.
I know for a fact that my father is going to be pissed.
