Fourtris will last, yay! *pouts* I can't...

Pansycakesrule(Guest), yay! Thankyou.
Hannah(Guest), I don't know *laughs*
PenguinTiff, I know.
Shauna is 12 weeks and a day with Tris 5 weeks and a day along.
Third's POV:
"It's almost 1," Bud speaks fearfully. The timer on the board showed 10 minutes before the memory serum was released. Food was found in a cupboard but everyone was tired, due to the lack of sleep. Tris and Shauna were currently sleeping on their boyfriends' laps and everyone was biting their nails in anticipation.
"Clearly someone has to go in there," Zeke growls. Tobias nods besides him.
"He's right. The only way we can get out is through that door. One of us has to be sacrificed." No one spoke, sharing looks, not wanting to lose anyone. Tobias strokes his lover's hair gently and groans quietly.
"Five minutes," Tori whispers. Tobias carefully removes Tris's head from his lap and puts his hoodie underneath her head, standing up then going through the drawers.
"Four, what are you doing?" Uriah mutters after a minute or so.
"Looking for the key to that door," Tobias responds. Sarah jumps up and marches over to him, grabbing his arm.
"No," she hisses. Tobias shakes her hand off and goes through the last drawer.
"Found it." He brings out a single key on a chain and glances towards the timer.
"1 minute left," he mumbles, gesturing for Zeke's leather jacket. Zeke hands it to him reluctantly. Tobias shrugs it on and crouches down, kissing Tris's forehead.
"30 seconds," Chris whispers. Celeste grabs Tobias's hand.
"You can't be doing this?"
"Since no one else wants to save their family, I'm going to. It will kill Tris if the last members of her family did not remember her. It will definitely kill me too because of my sister and parents. All of us don't want any memories of us to be wiped away so I suggest you let me go."
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1," Hector counts down. The timer goes off but the pregnant girls do not register it. Tobias breathes a sigh of relief and shoves the key into the hole, unlocking it. He opens it and sees the blue button in the middle of the room.
"That's the vault? Pretty big," he speaks, looking around at the white walls, with monitors, similar to those in the control room, and if you look closely, you could make out the silvery shine of the lasers. There was a difference in the floor near the button but Tobias waved it off.
"You can't see the lasers that well, and as soon as you step into there, the death serum will be sprayed. And there's a code, well two, you have to type in. First one, 654321 and the second one, 987321. And remember, black then red then purple." Matthew says, standing beside Tobias. Tobias nods in confusion and salutes with two fingers, placing the gun he retrieved from the drawer into his pocket.
"See you on the other side," Tobias dashes in and immediately a white cloud appears. He coughs and uses his hands to navigate through the fog.
Matthew shuts the door and fortunately pulls up a camera view on the computer. Tobias is seen taking his time to slide on the floor or jump over moving lasers. Tris grunts and sits up, glancing at the timer, turning around only to find Tobias not there. She does not turn back round.
"Don't tell me Tobias went into that room," she growls lowly. Chris walks over to her and collects her into her arms. Tris gasps and pushes Chris off her, scrambling up.
"You let him go in there? You fucking let the father of my baby walk into that room?" she screams at everyone. Shauna is startled awake and she registers the words that woke her up, eyes widening.
"You actually let Four go in there?" Shauna whispers, staring at Zeke.
"He wanted to; we couldn't do anything to persuade him to not go," Zeke stammers. Tris narrows her eyes at Matthew.
"You. You couldn't have found an alternative to sort this out?" She yells. Matthew stutters.
"At least he made it through the death serum."
"If I'm assuming correctly, it take 30 minutes to fully take effect."
"Not on a Divergent?"
"Are you telling me or asking me?" Tris cocks an eyebrow, stalking towards him. Matthew clears his throat and adjusts his glasses, not responding.
"If he dies. If he fucking dies, you're the first person I'm coming for," Tris states. Matthew gulps in terror. Shauna places a hand on her best friend's shoulder.
"Tris, calm down. He'll survive. He won't die before the birth of your baby," Shauna says reassuringly. Tris slumps into Shauna's arms and breaks down.
Tobias's POV:
I do a military shuffle under the final laser and am met with coloured tiles.
"What the?" I whisper to myself, stepping onto a yellow tile. It buzzes loudly and the ceiling begins to descend. He groans and replays Matthew's words.
"Black, then red then purple."
"Black, red, purple," he chants as he dances swiftly onto each colour.
"How long is this for?" he grunts but steps onto the final purple and the ceiling returns back to its normal state, the colours disappearing. He sighs and eyes widen at the holes in the wall. This cannot be good. He gets his gun, opens the chamber and receives a bullet. He does an underarm throw and the bullet lands on the floor. Immediately, metal balls are released, going into the opposite hole. He waits for a few minutes and they stop. He takes a tentative step forwards and breathes out in relief. He sprints across and reaches the blue button.
"That took 30 minutes?" he exclaims as he looks at the timer. He shakes his head and types in the first code.
"654321." The glass box covering the button goes down and he whispers a 'yes' to himself.
"Bravo. You made it through." His head snaps up at the sound of David's voice. He wheels from the shadows, again, with an evil smile on his face.
"I knew you would be the one to come through."
"Why are you doing this?" I ask.
"The experiment has not gone according to plan, so we want to start anew."
"By erasing their memories?"
"It's the best thing to do. Besides, Penelope and Amy let the idea of power go to their heads. They are slowly beating everyone else. Soon, the factions will be under Erudite's, and Erudite only, Erudite's control."
"Can't you just go there yourself and sort it out?"
"That's no fun," David whines. I glance at the time and there is 25 minutes left. He catches my gaze.
"Ah, anxious to reverse the memory serum?" He presses a button, opening a hole in the wall. A clone of myself comes out. My eyes widen and my jaw goes slack.
Tris's POV:
"This can't be good," Eric mumbles.
"No shit, Sherlock." Hector rolls his eyes. I shush them and tap my fingers nervously on the desk.
"He better make it out alive," I whisper, staring at Tobias.
Tobias's POV:
David wheels back a bit then glass walls shoot up, concealing the both of us, no, me, no, us? We stay still for a moment and I think up a plan. Step in, right hook and do a roundhouse kick. Simple, right?
I advance towards him and raise my right hand but he dodges it and bends down before my leg even goes high enough. I furrow my eyebrows and go in for a left hook. He dodges this too. I throw in punches and kicks but he manages to avoid them.
Tris's POV:
"They're the same people. So they think the same," I mutter. Will clicks his fingers.
"He has to... prank himself. So say he goes in for a right hook but actually does a leftie."
"Exactly," I mumble.
"He only has 10 minutes left." Shauna bites her lip.
Tobias's POV:
I shake my head as he dodges all my hits and kicks. I grunt when he punches me in the stomach.
"Oh, so you can fight back?" I raise an eyebrow, not getting a response. Of course not.
Okay, we are the same people. He is programmed to think like me. Fake left. I dash towards him and raise my right hand, only to punch his nose with my left as he goes to his right. He groans and stumbles backwards, letting me attack his stomach three times. He doubles over, I take this opportunity to kick his chin, and as he falls to the ground, I whack his head with the butt of my gun, rendering him unconscious. The glass walls drop down and David's eyes widen. I smirk and move towards the button that had somehow moved away.
"Didn't expect that?" He whips out a gun and shoots my leg. I cry out in pain and crumple to the floor, the blood rapidly staining my jeans.
"Fuck!"
"Didn't expect that?" he smirks. I growl and shoot him in the heart. He slumps forwards, taking his last breaths.
"Well played, my boy. Well played," he murmurs before closing his eyes and his chest stops moving. I pant heavily, gritting my teeth, getting onto all fours and crawl slowly to the keypad, collapsing in front of it. I raise a hand and fumble around, feeling for the keypad.
"What was the code? What was the code?" I yell in frustration, gripping my thigh.
"987654?" A buzzer goes off, signalling I am wrong.
Tris's POV:
"Come on, baby. Come on," I repeat, tears leaking out my sockets.
"987321! 987321!" Matthew calls out.
Tobias's POV:
"987... 987... 987321!" I type in furiously, and I slam on the button, right as the timer ends. I huff and lay back down onto the floor. I did it.
Sarah's POV:
He did it.
He did it.
"He did it!" I holler, and everyone cheers. Tris sobs in relief. I run and press the elevator button. It is working.
"We have to get him!" I scream. Everyone scrambles to the elevator and we reach the ground floor, filing out. Matthew runs to the infirmary after telling us where to go and George pops up.
"There you guys are! What happened-?"
"No time!" Tori bellows as we run in the general direction of the vault. George follows with confusion and shouts for Amar to come. We all sprint, well except Shauna and Zeke, reaching the stairs, ignoring the elevator. I jump down to the other landing and everyone takes my example. Tris runs down them anyways. I burst through countless double doors, frightening those who work down here. I find the final staircase and we make our way further down. I see the glass door and Tobias on the floor with David in his wheelchair. I reach for the doorknob but it is locked. Hector picks up a fire extinguisher and smashes it through the glass. I step through the hole and make a beeline for Tobias.
"Sarah." He smiles before closing his eyes.
"No!" I scream, getting onto my knees. I calm myself down, realising he's just unconscious, yank off my sweatshirt, tying the sleeves together around the bullet wound, and hold his hand. Tris reaches us and kneels down, gripping his head with tears.
"He's okay. He'll be fine. He's okay," I tell her and myself.
Skipping. Time's skipping. Shauna is 12 weeks and 3 days along with Tris 5 weeks and 3 days along.
Tobias's POV:
I groan at the throbbing in my thigh, wondering why it is so dark, and immediately a hand goes to mine.
"Tobias? Open your eyes, please." Oh, that's why. I crack open my right eye to just a slit and see my beautiful girlfriend looking down at me with a relieved smile.
"You've been sleeping for two days now," she whispers. I furrow my eyebrows, closing my eyes again.
"You were hit in one of the major arteries but the pressure from your jeans and Sarah's sweatshirt managed to reduce the loss of your blood. However, you did have to have a blood transfer."
"Who donated their blood?" I mutter.
"Zeke and Uriah."
"Remind me to thank them."
"Nah, you can do it now." I hear from Uriah on the other side. I turn my head, opening my eyes properly and a smile breaks out on my face. Everyone trails in and the Pedrad boys fistbump me. I see the bandage on their biceps and thank them.
"It's no biggie." Zeke shrugs.
"To me, it is," I retort. Sarah grips my other hand then hugs me tightly. I use my free arm to hug her back.
"Thank God. You fucking frightened me to death, you idiot," she mumbles and I feel a tear drop onto my neck. I release Tris's hand and move my other arm around her torso.
"Hello to you too." She laughs and slaps my chest, pulling away.
"You're finally awake." Chris fistpumps, glancing at Tris with a raised eyebrow. I look at Tris who is biting her lip.
"What happened here?"
"Nothing..." Tris averts her gaze to the ground and I lift her chin.
"Tell me, please." Tris narrows her eyes at Christina.
"To be honest, you do need to tell him, Tris," Shauna says softly.
"Tell me what?" I ask loudly.
"I, erm, I was so scared that my blood pressure went through the roof. And I almost lost our baby," Tris whispers the last bit. My eyes widen.
"Erm guys, could you leave? Please." Everyone share looks but walk back out. Tris bites down hard on her trembling lip. I sigh and scoot to the edge, ensuring my injured leg is not the leg I lean on, leaving a space in the bed.
"Come here." She clambers on and I scoop her into my arms, nuzzling my face into her hair.
"You know I love you. You know I'd fight death to be with you."
"I know, Tobias," she sobs, clutching at my shirt.
"It's just that, you didn't wake up after an hour and your heart failed once." I drag in a sharp breath and squeeze tighter.
"We all thought you had died and I lashed out, not knowing the impact it would have on the baby, then I fainted. Everything after that was a blur," she explains as I rub her back soothingly.
"I am so sorry," I mutter, pulling away to look into her distressed eyes. I plant a kiss on the tip of her nose and rest my forehead on hers.
"I thought you left me."
"Never."
"That wasn't what you were thinking when you went through the door," she bites out. Ouch.
"I deserve that," I sigh, closing my eyes and breathing in deeply. She kisses my lips gently and rests her face in the crook of my neck.
"I love you."
"And I, you. More than you can fathom," I murmur, kissing her long blonde hair. I fall asleep to the steady rhythm of her heart.
