Tris' POV
Positive? Is that a good thing? My head starts to spin with questions. I lean hard against Tobias in fear I may lose consciousness.
"Tris?" Tobias says quietly. Tobias being quiet is not a good thing. Far from good. He braces and I fall against him. I smile and look into Tobias' eyes. He looks down at me. "Are you okay? Are you happy?" I look at him and smile even more. "Yes" I whisper into his chest.
"Tris, come to the infirmary tomorrow and I will make sure everything is alright and I will make sure that you truly are pregnant." Christina says opening the door. "Don't have too much sex" she says as she walks out with a smile on her face. I laugh, it comes out more like a croak because tears are streaming down my cheeks leaving a wet patch on Tobias' shirt.
"I have to tell Mum and Dad and Caleb." I say wiping my eyes and sitting up. "No one else, not just yet."
Tobias' kisses my head. "Wait till tomorrow, just so we know for definite."
The next day I get up and dressed and wait for Tobias to do the same. "I will go to the infirmary and then I will come and meet you down at the training room." Tobias frowns. "Are you sure you should be working?" I frown to. "I will make my decision based on what Christina and the people in the infirmary say, okay?" He looks at me and kisses me deeply, and we walk hand in hand down to the pit. Tobias walks one way and I walk another.
I see Christina on a computer typing, I walk up to her. "Hey Chris, I'm here for someone to check me over?"
She smiles and takes me hang and pulls me into a a room that has a bed and a machine with a black screen. Cupboards line the room with all sorts of medical things occupying them. She motions to the bed and I hop onto it. "So, I'm going to do a scan okay?" she walks over to me and turns the machine on that is next to the bed. "Please can you pulls your shirt up, just so I can see your stomach." I do as I am told and I lie back, wishing Tobias was here with me. Christina places a cold gel onto my stomach. I wished she'd warned me. I look at her, I realize she had warned me I just hadn't heard.
"Tris, are you okay?" She says looking worried.
"Yeah, yeah I was just day dreaming?" I say with a smile.
"Well stop day dreaming about your scary boyfriend and look at the screen." I do as I am told and I see a picture appear on the screen. "This," Christina points to the screen "this is the head." She smiles. "The test was right." She takes a minute and then takes the scanner off my stomach and she wipes away the gel. "I think you are around 2 weeks maybe 3. So, not very far along. I'm surprised you noticed." I think about mentioning the intense pain but think better of it.
"So, umm the you know. The you know what?" I ask trying to avoid saying it.
"Tris what the hell you on about?" Christina says with a smile.
"The bleeding" I say finally giving in.
"Oh, that. I don't know why it was so heavy the other night but spotting and light bleeding is normal during pregnancy." She smiles. Christina then prints out a copy of the picture that I just saw on the little screen. "You may go now, you should make an appointment for three weeks time." I walk out the room with the picture in my hand and then I make the appointment and walk to the training room.
I walk in and see Tobias. He walks straight up to me and takes me back out the door I just came from. He looks serious and I wonder whats wrong. "Hey, Four, Tobias. Whats wrong? Whats going on?" I ask with the smile slowly fading from my face. "Your mother, she is in our apartment. She's with Will. You need to go there now. I couldn't go and sit with her because I needed to wait for you and Zeke so that someone could be with the Initiates." I look at him and start to walk away and I see Zeke enter the training room and then Tobias follow him in. I am almost at the apartment and Tobias comes running up behind me. "Zeke is with them." He takes my hand and we walk into the apartment together.
I see my mother, tears in her eyes. I run up to her and kneel by her side. Will leaves the apartment and Tobias walks to the door way and try to not be seen. I look my mother in the eyes and take her hands. "Whats going on?"
"Your father." She says between sobs. "He's ill, very ill. He-he-he had a heart attack this morning and they found out her has a brain tumor." She cries and tears stream down my cheeks. "They don't think he will live very long" she looks me in the eyes "I have told Caleb this morning." I am speechless and I feel Tobias' eyes on me. "They don't know how long her has but they don't think it will be longer than 5 months." I stand up and sit on the chair next to my mother and I grab her into my arms. This isn't the time to tell her about the pregnancy. "When can I see him?" I ask between sobs. "He's having surgery in the morning and that should take most of the day. How about I arrange to meet you outside the main hospital the day after so you can see him?" She smiles at the fact I want to see him. I nod and collapse into her embrace.
