EmoFangirlEaton , whew! Yay! And ikr?!

Hannah(Guest), aw yay! Wait, do you check every day to see if I've updated?x

Fourtris will last, oh thank god! Hope you like this one :)

StellaNiteWolfblood, of course I will. Haha, thankyou.

This is the crappest shit I've ever written, like omfg. At least it's better than nothing.

Tobias's POV: Shauna is 12 weeks and 4 days/Tris is 5 weeks and 4 days.

"Happy birthday!" everyone hollers as I wake up, still cuddling Tris. Christina snaps a picture on her phone and I raise my middle finger up behind Tris's back, groaning and burrowing my face deeper into Tris's hair. Tris giggles and hugs me tighter.

"Happy birthday, Toby." She whispers.

"Oh, now you're using Chris's nickname for me?" I pull away with a raised eyebrow and she beams.

"Dude, you're 17." Uriah murmurs excitedly.

"Why is he more excited than me?" I ask no one in particular.

"You're finally the age where all alcohol is legal for you to drink," Zeke provides. I roll my eyes, remembering how Uriah complained, every time we had a party, about us not being able to drink excessively, even though we have gotten drunk before.

"You're allowed to leave, you just had to do some paperwork but Amar and I have done it for you," George speaks as he strides in with Amar in tow. I smile gratefully.

"So, who brought my clothes for me?" everyone keeps quiet and Chris grins.

"I did!" I groan, facepalming.

"Really? You let a girl pick out my clothes?" I glare at the boys.

"Rude," Chris mutters, rolling her eyes before placing a bag on the edge of my bed, which I am afraid to open.

"I hope you girls didn't let her discard most of my clothes," Tris interjects.

"Weeeeell...," Shauna drawls and Tris huffs, releasing herself from my grip and standing up. She holds out a hand and Chris smiles widely, giving her another bag. Tris also does not open it.

"Anyway, since you're... wounded, we've made lunch reservations at a restaurant called Nandos," Edward speaks.

"Thanks guys." I nod, and they all trail out, leaving a tray of breakfast for Tris and I.

"How are you feeling?" I ask Tris. She nods slowly.

"I'm okay. But what about you?"

"Peachy, except for the leg," I groan, wondering how I was going to change. Tris realises this and walks out, returning with a young nurse.

"Hello Four! I hear that you are in a pickle. Well, three options. One, I can give you a sponge bath-"

"Next," I deadpan. Tris snickers. The young girl's face falls but she plasters a smile on.

"Of course. Two, a doctor can help carry you to the shower and three, just change and don't shower until you can walk around by yourself."

"I'll take two." The nurse nods and slightly narrows her eyes at Tris before sauntering out, making sure to put a spring in her step.

"Somebody's mad," Tris mutters as the door shut. I laugh and Tris smiles, skipping into the shower.

Evening meal.

We all laugh and converse in the luxurious restaurant that goes by the name of 'Nandos'. We sat on the largest table, near the windows, and people do double takes when they see us.

"So Beth, how did you end up in the Bureau?" I ask as we all familiarise ourselves with Eric's girlfriend. Her face contorts into pain and I backtrack.

"You don't have to say...," I trail off. She shakes her head and shrugs.

"My mother was a Divergent in one of their experiments. Some people came and started killing everyone in their path. My mother was wounded, protecting me, and I escaped. Then Matthew rescued me from being... kicked out and killed by David and yeah, I am a nurse now. She wouldn't have died if we had the right medical attention," Beth explains. We all nod and sigh.

"What to do now that David's gone?"

"We should stop all the experiments. Take down the barriers, and all that shit," Tris suggests.

"You know, that's actually a good idea," Uriah muses. We all stare at each other and nod in agreement.

"Who's going to take David's place though?"

"Should it just be a single person? Or can it be a group of people?" Hector points out.

"Group of people. Few from the experiments so those we're releasing aren't too threatened then some from outside to maintain the balance." I rattle off.

"Definitely. Tris, you up for it?" Uriah raises an eyebrow.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course!" Zeke exclaims. Tris sighs and nods with a smile.

"Why not?"

"Aight aight, Christina." Zeke smirks.

"Bring it on."

"Matthew," Marlene suggests.

"I don't have leader qualities."

"You're a doctor, in many areas," I point out.

"Okay. I'll do it."

"Joshua?" Will asks.

"Oh, the dude who works in the control room? Yeah, why not?" Shauna nods.

"That's sorted." Uriah claps his hands and rubs them together. We grin at the arriving food and lick our lips at the amount of chips, chicken and rice we ordered.

"Let's tuck in." I wave my fork and we all dive in, groaning at the taste.

"This is already my babe," Hector murmurs, still holding a piece of chicken near his mouth.

"Hey, what about me?"

"You're my bae." Sarah grins and kisses him on the cheek.

"Young love," Chris giggles. Tris rolls her eyes and Lynn drinks her Coke to avoid any comments escaping her mouth. We enjoy the rest of the evening, pushing the anticipation, of entering Chicago again, to the back of our minds.

"Your birthdays are tomorrow," Celeste points out, nodding to Sarah and Amar. They grin and we chuckle, planning what to do tomorrow.

Time Skips.

Tris's POV: (S- 13 weeks/ T- 6 weeks)

I stroll into the Amity faction and grin instantly when I step into the office. Johanna wraps her arms around me and sobs in relief.

"You're back, my dear! And you look... different." Her eyes drop to my abdomen and she looks back into my eyes.

"You're expecting!" I laugh and tilt my head.

"How did you know?"

"You're glowing, you're more bouncy -due to the hormones- and a bit chubby." I glare at her and she chuckles, linking her arm through mine. We walk across the farms and she rattles off the events that we have missed. Many Amity members stop their jobs and wave cheerily at me. One young boy even bounds up to me and hands me an apple.

"An apple for the mistress." I smile and thank him as he runs back to his family who are standing in the doorway of their house.

"What did I do that's making everyone love me?" I ask before biting into the juicy apple.

"The news travelled from Dauntless. You are now considered a hero." I smile and shake my head, chewing and biting again.

"We've been confined -without knowing it- for so long, which is we've decided to take down the fence and adjust to the real world." Johanna smiles widely.

"Ever since you were young, I knew you'd do something great."

"When I was young?" I pause my eating and look at her.

"Your parents never told you? We broke the school laws and conversed whenever we could. Your father was Erudite and your mother and I were Dauntless. Jeanine used to be our friend before all the 'unscientific balderdash' she spouted. It is confusing, I know. However, as we grew up, we drifted apart. I still contacted your mother often and I would see you with your twin and Nikolai. You were quiet but loud, weak but strong at the same time. When I heard you became a leader, I knew you'd taken the first step you needed." I beam and look at Johanna with tears in my eyes.

"I blame the hormones." She laughs musically and a distant shout catches my attention.

"Tris!" Prim dashes towards us and she barrels into my legs, hugging them. I release Johanna, throwing the appl into a near bin, and crouch down, the both of us hugging tightly.

"Hey," I whisper. A tear drops down my face and I feel a few drop onto my bare shoulder.

"I missed you," she croaks out.

"And I you," I chuckle slightly, pulling back and wiping the tears off her face.

"No need to cry."

"I could say the same to you," she states firmly and Johanna gasps.

"Primrose!" Prim giggles and I shake my head in amusement. I register the scenery and realise we walked in a circle, returning to Johanna's office. I see the gang who are smiling sweetly.

"Hey, what brings you here?"

"What? We can't see our favourite leader without a reason?" Uriah replies.

"Now that makes me more suspicious. What's going on?"

"Penelope and Amy," Edward whispers. I stand up and raise an eyebrow.

"They're not exactly... happy with our decision," Myra explains. I shake my head.

"You're holding something back." I narrow my eyes, staring at the boyfriend. Tobias clears his throat.

"They've managed to get half of the factionless on their side," he blurts out.

"That's Amity and Candor combined," I hiss.

"We tried to reason with them-" Eric began.

"Tried? Eric, they are your relatives, so they must have wormed their way into your head. They are manipulative. In order to beat them, you have to play their game," I growl, closing my eyes and restoring my calm composure.

"You are going to get me every single detail on them two. Should not be hard. You're going with Celeste, Lynn, Amber and Myra," I tell Eric. He nods fearfully and they all run out of the building.

"Peter, Will and Zeke... Hector and Sarah, control room. Monitor their every move." The boys and Sarah run out too.

"Shauna, you're stepping out."

"What, why?"

"Do you really want to risk that baby?"

"Well, what about you?"

"Does it look like I'm going to do anything?" I glare at her. She shuts her mouth.

"Tobias and Shauna, you're following me. Tori and Bud, you can check out the factionless. I'll send Nikolai over." The couple nod and stride out. I message Nikolai and I get an 'okay' in response.

"Prim, I'll make sure your sister comes, okay?" Prim nods, lip trembling.

"Don't go," she pouts. Johanna sighs and crouches down.

"She'll be back."

"Pinky promise?" Prim holds out both pinkies and Johanna and I wrap our own around hers. She smiles and skips off, meeting the same young lady I saw on my birthday.

"Who's she?"

"Patricia. She looks over some of the young ones in Amity but mostly Prim." I hug Johanna and walk out, Tobias and Shauna trailing after. I watch the train rush past and groan, seeing everyone seated in the train.

"Well, we have a half hour wait." I shrug, sitting on a bench near the tracks.

"So what's your plan?"

"We have to think like them. I am Penelope and Shauna's Amy. You are Divergent. Clearly, we both think that men are inferior, weak. Also have a distaste for Divergent. Why?"

"Because they're able to do things that no normal human being can do," Shauna inputs.

"Exactly. So, because we, depending on our strength, are able to stay awake during stimulations and all that shit, it apparently threatens the balance of society. I, being Penelope, got this driven into my mind-set from a young age by my mother. Obviously, I would not like being Divergent, however deep down, there is a liking for it. Which needs to be drawn out. We have to manipulate, persuade or whatever to sway her thoughts."

"It'll just be difficult. For they have believed this for so many years. We have to break down decades of belief," Tobias speaks.

"Now you're getting it." I click my fingers. My phone rings and I whip it out my pocket.

"Tori."

"Tris. It is chaotic. The people who are not on Penelope/Amy's side are terrified because the other half have become more alert and are hunting Divergents in this area. You can identify them by the blue circle on their outfits. It contains all the symbols but with a line going diagonally through it. Eradication of Divergents."

"Eradication of Divergents. It's begun," I mutter darkly, staring at the Erudite building from where I'm seated. Battles are conquered but the war is still not yet fought.

Agh. Gah. Ugh. Eeeeek. Erm? Is it too late now to say sorry? Two weeks and counting... SORRY! Till later, BooksLover2000...
