I trudge into lunch with Uriah and Marlene. Marlene is making fun of a bruise on my arm, from the fight two days ago. I tell her to shut up. We sit down at our usual table. Tobias and Christina haven't arrived yet, but will is already eating. He smiles at us.
"So I heard the story from Christina, but what happened?" Uriah can't stop bothering me.
I roll my eyes, "He was annoying me."
"C'mon, that's not how you tell a story," Marlene grabs a muffin and starts eating, "What really happened?" Her words are muffles by food.
"He was making fun of me because I was short, and I asked him if he wanted to pick a fight with me. He said yes, but only even ended up landing one hit," I sigh, my eyes flicking up to the table the transfers sit at. The boy from yesterday, I found out his name is Reed, is spotted in blue and purple bruises. I hide my smile. He needed to be shown his place.
"Hm," Will says, "You're really not supposed to fight with them, but since Four threw knives at you and nearly shot Peter, I'm not even sure it matters anymore."
We laugh together and I start to eat. I'm relieved to make it through the meal without feeling sick. Uriah and Marlene tell us they're going zip-lining but don't invite anyone. I'm pretty sure they're lying, but it doesn't matter. I tousle Will's hair and tell him to say hi the Christina for me. They I head home.

"Tris," Tobias' voice stops me as I enter the door. His voice is flat and a little angry.
"What is it?" I ask, trying to keep my voice from getting tight. It's an octave higher that usual.
He holds up something. I wince. The pregnancy test. Shit. He must have found it in the trash. I lick my lips but don't say anything. His face is angry. His blue eyes close and he sighs. I expect him to be upset, but he takes a step forward and hugs me. I stiffen, surprised, and shake my head, my eyes starting to tear up.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asks.
I try to pull away, he doesn't let me. Instead I bury my face in his sweatshirt, "I didn't know how."
I squeeze my eyes closed and wish I could just disappear. But he laughs. I look up, confused. He captures my mouth with his. My mind lets out a blissful sigh and I lean into him. He pulls away from the kiss, and he is smiling. "This is amazing, Tris," he sounds happy, "This is... This is great, Tris!"
I'm still confused, "I don't... I'm not..." I shake my head, "What are we going to do? What-"
"Tris, you weren't sick were you?" his voice is still happy, "You went to the doctor about the..." He stutters, "the baby, didn't you?"
I nod, "I'm just really scared right now, Tobias," I snap at him, "I don't know what to do! I can't be a mother! I-I can't do this-"
He kisses me again, silencing me, "We can do this," he insists, "You won't be alone. I'll be here every step of the way. Christina, Marlene, Will, Uriah, Lynn, everyone. I'm sure they'll help us."
I'm still upset, but his smile and attitude spread to me. I can't help but grin.
"I'm naming it Ten," he tells me, "Four plus six."
I shove him, "Oh, shut it."
