This year, all 4 initiates who were cut were all transfers. We lost Innis from Amity, Liv and Hanna from Candor and Erin from Erudite. We now have 6 transfers left, Ryan, Dean, Harriet, Olivia, Michael and Matthew. Today they are going to stage 2 of their training.
"Dean! Your turn." I say opening the door and closing it after the boy walks through. He's shaking less than the others have been but I can still see a tremble in his hands.
"Sit down here." I say pointing to the dentist style chair in the middle of the small room. "We're going to put you in a simulation with one of your fears." He looks me right in the eyes, trying to remember every word I say. I infect him with the serum. "You need to slow your heartbeat and control your breathing for the simulation to stop." He nods one last time before he goes into his simulation, he's scared of jellyfish.
I watch him swim as fast as he can through a freezing cold sea, though more and more jellyfish come at him from all directions. They sting him and each time he lets out a scream. More jellyfish come, each one bigger than the last, his screams getting louder each time and his body shaking and moving in the chair. A huge one drifts towards him, he can no longer swim away due to all the other ones, stinging him every few seconds, the huge one is around twice the size of a football with tenticals about a meter long. Dean falls out of his chair onto the floor, his body continues shaking and he keeps screaming. I look over at him before turning his simulation off.
"Are you alright?" I ask him as he scrambles to his feet. He shakes his head, trying to hold back tears. "The first time is always the hardest, trust me, It'll get easier." He stares at me for a while, he looks angry and terrified at the same time. "Go back to the dorms, you're done for today." I say to him before calling Ryan into the room.

Tris and I decided to share the news about the twins at dinner, she can't wait and I'm quite excited as well. She decides to dress in nicer clothes than usual but not too nice that people will notice something different.
"How do I look?" She says, coming out of the bedroom.
"Beautiful." I say kissing her.
"Thanks," she smiles softly. Her eyes sparkling as I gently kiss her belly.
"You're going to be the best mum in the world." I whisper to her.
"You're going to be the best dad."

"Hey guys," Tris says as we sit down in our usual spot. It's hamburgers for dinner tonight, which makes Tris even happier than she was before. We had hamburgers for dinner when I saw her in dauntless for the first time.
"How did the scan go?" Christina asks us.
I looked over at Tris, her face had lit up and she was so excited.
"It turns out we're actually about 3 months along, so we found out the gender." She motions to me that I should tell them.
"It was actually the genders, we're having twin boys!"
Everyone at the table starts congratulating us.
"To Tris and Four!" Zeke says holding up his glass of water, everyone else does the same.
Tris snuggles into my side. "I love you." She whispers.
"I love you more."

I'll still continue updating my stories but it probably won't be as often. Sorry. I hope you are enjoying this story, I have no idea how many chapters it'll be but it will probably be around 40-50, this is only chapter 7 so I could be wrong.
