Chapter 22
Tobias P.O.V
I feel like nothing comes out right... explaining everything to Tris. Even I'm lost.
I give the baby to Tris, Abigail started to place her whole little fist in her mouth. Confusion must have crossed my face because Tris started to explain the many ways Abigail shows that she is ready to eat. I'm beyond amazed how wonderful of a mother Tris has become in just a matter of days.
"Four can you hand me that baby blanket?" She asks pointing to the blanket in Abigail's crib.
The sound of my nickname on Tris' lips just sounds wrong to me. I know I will have to find a time to explain my past to her again. Looking forward to the day she will call me Tobias again. But I know right now isn't the right time for that discussion.
After giving Tris the baby and making sure both are comfortable. I help her unbutton the top of the gown, still giving keep her covered with the baby blanket. I may not see what is happening, blocked by the blanket. But I'm at aw at the site before me, Tris is alive, she is nursing our daughter. Our daughter. I'll never get tired of those words.
"Your staring!" Tris says her cheeks starting to blush. "Didn't anyone ever tell you, it's not nice to stare?" She smirks.
"Sorry, I just... can't help it. I keep thinking this is a dream. Somehow I'll wake up and you won't be here with me." I admit. I must sound so pathetic.
"Knock Knock." Jess says walking right in. "I see someone is awake. How are you feeling, Tris? Already nursing I see."
"Little sore, as long as I don't move." Tris says. Stubborn until the end.
"If you are in pain, you should have some pain killers. Being in pain won't help you. You need to heal, Tris." I say.
"His right." Jess says.
"Jess, um I was wondering if we can have a D.N.A test done while we are here." I ask, looking at Jess.
"Of course, is that something you both want. I need to have consent from both of you." She glances between both of us.
"Sure, why not?" Tris says.
"Ok I'll be right back." Jess says walking out the door.
"I thought you were sure you are her father?" Tris asks looking at me.
"I am. This is the best way to show you I'm not lying." I say. I have no doubt that little Angel is mine. But the story is so far fetch, even I have trouble believing it. I would like Tris to have no doubt and trust me as well.
She doesn't argue. She knows this is the easiest way to prove my story. Jess comes back in and starts to swipe our mouth, one for Tris, one for Abigail, and another for me. "It will take a few hours, I'll try to place a rush on it for you though. Is there anything else I can get you in the mean time?" Jess ask.
"How long will Tris be here? When will it be safe for her to travel back to Chicago?" I ask, needing to call Amar to stop him from implementing plan B.
"About a week or so. All depending on Tris, she needs to heal a little, and be clear of infections." She finishes packing up and making her way out.
We hear voices coming from down the hall, loud mouth Zeke making his way through. I roll my eyes. Not sure if I want to overwhelm Tris with Zeke mouth.
Knock, Knock.
I turn and see Zeke isn't alone, behind him I see a smiling Caleb, Cara, and Christina waking in. All saying dying to see Tris. I can't deny them, we all missed her.
Caleb walks up to Tris' bed side and gives her a kiss on the cheek. He looks frighten to even touch her. "Hey, how are you feeling?" He asks, tears in his eyes. His voice threatening to break between words.
"Caleb, so it's all true?" She asks.
Of course, why didn't I think to get her brother. She would believe him. The traitor.
"Yea, I'm so sorry Tris for everything. You've been here suffering. While I've been on the other side of the building." He says.
"It's over now." She tells him, a smirk on her face.
Tris looks down, noticing Abigail's head is tilting back. Tris told me it's another sign that her belly is full.
"Four would you mind burping her?" Tris asks me.
"Of Course, I would love to." I say.
I don't hesitate. I take any chance I can to hold this precious little Angel. I take Abigail gently over my shoulder patting her little back. I feel Zeke coming behind me. Already I fear what might come out of his mouth.
"Bro, don't worry I think Tris' genes off set your ugly ass genes. Thank god! She took after her mommy. Whoa! Lucked out there little one." Zeke says.
"Thanks, Zeke." I say.
Everyone starts to laugh, even Tris. It feels so good to watch and hear her laugh again. The laugh I thought would be lost forever!
Once Abigail is done burping, I change her diaper, and re-swaddle her back up in her blanket. I sit back down on the rocking chair, slowly and steady start rocking her back and forth. Tris staring at me, grinning widely.
"You're staring!" I say grinning using her own words right back at her.
"Dude, you are holding a baby. Something we all never imagined, aren't you suppose to be all threatening and angry! That poor girl, feel bad for her first boyfriend." Christina says.
"Never going to happen." I state matter of fact.
"Yea, ok." Cara and Christina both say.
"Hey Four, Umm... Matthew and I bagged David. He threatened to shoot at us, when we attempted to arrest him. I had no choice but to shot him in the head." Zeke explained.
"Well at least he has been taken care of. Innocent man my ass." I say, remembering when they told me that the memory serum made him a innocent man.
"Zeke can you call Amar, let him know we will be here another week or so." I asked. Knowing that Plan B isn't necessary any more.
"Yea, I'll do that. No problem." He says stepping out into the hall to call Amar.
"Zeke, you going to want to hear this..." We hear Matthew urging Zeke back in the room.
"I know who is Subject B is? You are not going to believe it!" Matthew says out of breath. It appears he ran the news all the way here...
Be back tomorrow with another update :) Enjoy! Thank you to all my readers!
