A/N:
Hi, hello, zdravo, hola. I'm back as you can see so yeah I got a little more attention last update but yeah what are you going to do? Thanks to guest for giving me my 40th review I just had to moderate your review first! Also thank you for answering my question about the operation. Thanks to NinkSmiley for reviewing also and your support to my story and for answering the QOTD. ON WITH THE STORY!
TOBIAS POV
It's been a week since Tris had her operation. The doctors said everything went fine and that it all went as plan. To me that was a load of crap, the oxygen tubes stopped distributing air to Tris for about 30 seconds until they were able to fix it. Of course I wasn't there to see it but I was able to hear the commotion coming from her operation room. That was enough for me to start to panic, well more than what I already was. The operation took an estimate of 4 hours and 49 minutes. Four agonizing hours of my brain coming up with different scenarios of why they weren't finished yet. My most favorite was the possibility of death, note my sarcasm.
But eventually and finally Marlene came out of the room with her surgical ensemble on and told me that the operation was a success. Which makes me think since the operation was such a success why is Tris still in the hospital? Yes after a week Tris still inhabits the sterile, sickly white hospital room. She's awake now but she was asleep for 2 days after her operation. Those days were even more agonizing than those four hours. The only reason I left her room was to run down to the infirmary cafeteria and to run home to pick up a pair of clothes. Fortunately Tris's room came with a little bathroom area that way I could shower without leaving her room.
Every night I take the pull out couch that is in her room. Not the most comfortable thing in the world but it'll suffice. When that 3rd day came around and the movement under Tris's eyelids started I couldn't keep my happiness down any longer. Of course the first thing on my mind wasn't to page the nurse, it was to give Tris a bone crushing hug that made her groan afterwards. I'm not the only one who's complaining, Tris has been complaining non-stop about how she wants to leave this sterile prison. I couldn't agree with her more. And here we are on the 7th day of hospital prison. Tris is sitting upright in her hospital bed staring down at what her nurses just served her.
"I can't eat anymore of this insipid mess," Tris exclaims.
"I know, I know."
"It's like going back to Abnegation food but at least the food there was solid," she says.
"Hey how about I run down to the dining hall and pick something up for the both of us," I whisper to her notifying that this is a secret.
"Your secret is safe with me," she smiles. "I'm thinking Dauntless cake?"
"Gotcha."
I exit the room making sure to avoid Dr. Lopez and Ellie. The pit is on the quieter side since its only 7:00 am. I presume most of the Dauntless members are still in bed riding out their hangovers or just too lazy to get up. Lucky for me the line for food is much shorter than usual and I can get in and get out without leaving Tris for too long. I pick up the usual breakfast foods consisting of eggs, bacon, a muffin and Dauntless cake just for Tris. Let's just hope these smells don't get to her. Recently since she woke up some of my foods I would eat would make her sick. Elle says it's mostly due to hormones but it doesn't make me happy when I have to get rid of my food because it makes her sick. Only for Tris, only for Tris.
Marlene has taken her original spot back behind the front counter. She is typing something into a system computer until she hears my footsteps.
"Morning Four I see you picked up some breakfast, dauntless cake. Ahh Tris?"
"Yep, uh let's just keep this between us," I whisper.
She "zips" up her lips and throws away the key. I make my way down the corridor which leads to Tris's room. The infirmary has two floors but they gave us one on the lower floor. When I enter the room there is a nurse checking her vials and the machines hooked up to Tris.
"Tris you should really eat your food you're not at your strongest point right now and I think some food will do you good," the nurse chastises.
"I am I was umm waiting for my boyfriend to return with his food, we err like to eat together," Tris says. Yep there's no Candor in there. "Here he is now."
The nurse checks the saline bag once more before leaving the room.
"Thank God I was able to come up with that excuse. Did you get me cake," she asks excitedly.
"Yep right here I also brought you some bacon, eggs, and a muffin. Can you take the smells today or do I need to dump this too," I ask hoping that she'll say no.
"Actually I was kind of craving eggs and the bacon isn't a bad touch," she says.
"And the muffins," I ask.
"Ehh, you can keep the muffins I'll just stick to the cake," she grimaces.
"I'll take it."
We eat in a comfortable silence, well besides Tris's smacks against her cake. I glance at her and we break out laughing. I love it when she eats like a dude. She finishes way before me, I guess pregnancy makes people speed up their eating habits. She wipes her hands before she runs a hand through her hair. She now has a shaved section where the doctors had to cut open. She's really insecure about it so I don't bring it up often. When she pulls her hair into a ponytail it hides most of it. Beside her bead is a duffle of clothes that I brought from home to replace her loose fitting gown when they finally let her out of here. When she wears the gown you can't tell that she's pregnant like you can in her other clothes. She's now a little over nine weeks so about a little over two months. My thoughts are interrupted by Ellie entering the room.
"Hello Tris we have some information on your release date."
Alright that's it for this chapter. I've been thinking if I wanted to start a new story would I rather do a divergent modern universe of high school story. Now if I did a high school story it wouldn't be the cliché perfect life story, no it will have problems just like life in real high school. So tell me what you think about that. I changed up the summary a bit for this story. I was also thinking about changing my username if I do I will make sure to notify you first. Kk QOTD: Have you ever heard of the fallen series by Lauren Kate?
Peace&Love~MSC
