We get back to the compound and I head to Max's corridors. "Hey!" I greet
"Hi Tris, what's up?" He asks, I rarely come to him unless something is wrong.
"So, I went to visit my father and my mother, I just learned that my father has another daughter, the initiate Mia. But we went to go confront him and, well… he hit my mom. I know that this isn't my place, but do you think that she could stay here for a bit, until she can talk to the council? I think she needs it, and as soon as she can get back she will. You might know her. Natalie Prior?"
"Oh, yes Natalie. We were always in the same grade and we were friends. She is welcome to stay with you, as long as she dresses Dauntless and follows our rules. I can see if we can get a temporary apartment for her. Now, as for going back, she is welcome to stay for 2 months that is our policy for this kind of thing." He replies, a smile growing on my face.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH!" I yell and giggle jumping up and down.
"Calm down, Tris." Max condescends.
I leave and walk towards my apartment. "Hey, baby girl." My mom greets me.
"Hey mom, so Max said that you can stay!" I exclaim.
"Oh, honey thank you! I knew he would. We were good friends back in secondary school. Our ceremony was together. How long can I stay?"
"2 months, but you need to wear Dauntless clothes and follow our rules. A job will be required. Four, do you want to come with me to grab her a few outfits, then she can go out on her own and get more clothes." I say.
"Sounds good to me, Mrs. Prior?" he asks, his Abnegation showing.
"Of course, and call me Natalie. But I do have a question, are you Tobias Eaton? I don't want to pry, but you look uncannily like him." She asks, full of innocence.
"Yes ma'am I am." He states through gritted teeth.
"Oh, okay, well I am glad that you and Tris have gotten together. I will stay here if you two are going out. Is there anything you need?" she is a saint.
"Uh, I don't think so, Tris?" Tobias sounds very confused at that question, people don't help here.
"No, thank you mom." I confirm.
"Okay, I'll probably just sit around." I can already tell that her Abnegation is wearing off.
We say bye and walk out of the room. "Tris you look adorable when you're around your mom, so defensive and loving." Tobias taunts, he knows I hate being told I'm adorable. Adorable is a puppy, I am I human.
"Well, I am all that she has left. God knows what's wrong with my brother. I haven't heard from him since I went to visit him." I reply.
"I hope you're like that for this little munchkin" he wraps an arm around my belly.
I smile up at him letting a small giggle escape. "I will." I tell him.
"Okay, I don't know much about your mom, but will a plain black shirt and maxi skirt work? Just for now." He asks me.
"Yes, simple always works with her. And since she was Dauntless, the black shouldn't be a problem." I reassure him.
"Perfect, let's check out and go." And with that we leave.
We got back to our home and set down my mom's stuff. We tell her that we need to talk to Mia, about well everything and go. On our way down to the dorms, we talk and laugh at each other, making jokes about everything we see, we talk about the baby and the appointment that we postponed for later today to find out how everything is going and how far along I am. When we get to the dorms, Mia is sitting on her bed with Connor, laughing loudly. Then I see something that takes me off guard. She kisses him, and not the little peck you would expect, it looks like a full on make-out session. We decide to leave and come back later. We head to the infirmary early to see Marlene and if there is an earlier time slot for us.
Upon our arrival, Mar is sitting behind the front desk; I had figured from the moment I met her that she would have some type of nurturing job, she is just so caring.
"Hey 10, what's up?" she asks so kindly, I hope that she and Uriah have kids, although they would be insane, they'd be lucky to have such nice parents.
"Is '10' like a thing now?" Tobias asks her.
"Yes, and you can thank Uri for that one. He is such a kid, but he is my kid." She tells us.
"Hey, how much do you love us?" I ask
"A ton, what do ya need?" She asks in response.
"Is there any way that you could get us an earlier appointment?" I sweetly question.
"Of course, let's see…." She starts typing on her computer. "Oh, Tris this says that you're seeing Dr. Sampson. He's a pregnancy doctor…" She trails off.
"Yeah, I actually… I am pregnant." I say.
In response to that I get a squeal. "Aw! Congrats!"
"Yeah, so when can we see her?" Tobias asks impatiently.
"Oh, uh he has an opening in 5 minutes… is that good?" She asks.
"Yes, thank you so much." I thank her.
"No problem." She says as we walk to sit down.
We just talk for about 5 minutes then we hear "Tris, Four Dr. Sampson is ready for you two."
We get into the room and I change into the gown they set out for me. When I am done I sit on the bed and wait, a monitor that I am assuming is to see the baby. When the doctor comes in she greets us with a warm smile. "So, I am going to assume that you're Tris?" She asks pointedly at me.
"Yup, that's me!" I reply eagerly.
"Four, have you been taking care of her?" She now questions my boyfriend.
"Of course." He responds.
"Okay, so Tris, we will be doing an ultrasound, I promise it won't hurt at all, and now that the Erudite have created this type if technology that gives us levels without blood, no needles will be necessary." She informs us, I might not be afraid of needles, but I am also not fond of them, so I let out a sigh of relief. "Please lie back and just relax." She commands.
I feel a cold gel like fluid on my bare stomach, and a plastic semi-sphere rubbing the liquid. I see a flash on the screen next to me. I see a little dot in the flash of black and white. "So, it looks to me as though you are 2 months along, and how you've not noticed that bewilders me, but never mind that, in your next visit the gender can be determined though, I will have Marlene start you on some prenatal vitamins and that should do the trick, your baby is healthy as can be."
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding my child is okay. I smile up at Tobias and he smiles back. When we leave I am given a bottle of pills and am told to take 2 a day, one in the morning and one at night. I have to stay away from alcohol and caffeine, as I knew, and try to avoid anything that can be considered toxic. And of course… no fighting of any kind. Mar gave Tobias to put me on bed rest if I try to fight anyone and that he can strap me down if he needs to. We walk around the compound for I don't know how long, eventually going home and sleeping the rest of the night.
