Tris' POV

I haven't been sick for at least a week now. I have a bit more color in my face and I have been able to go to work. I am feeling slightly happier. Well. I was. Then my mother came to the Dauntless compound. She told me that my father has taken a turn for the worst. The doctors don't think he's going to last much longer. Tobias has tried to comfort me as much as he can, it isn't working through.

I get out of bed and walk to Will and Christina's apartment. I cling to Tobias' arm. We were invited round for dinner, along with Zeke, Shaunna, Lynn, Marlene and Uriah. I fell slightly more happy now that I can leave the house. We knock on the door and then we are greeted by Will. He leads us in giving us a drink. Tobias was handed something that came from one of the brown bottles that smells highly alcoholic. Christina gives me a glass of orange juice. I blush and the let out a solid laugh. Tobias sits down on the couch next to me and put his arm round me and then squeezes.

"Still craving orange juice, huh?" He asks with a smile that seems to reach his eyes.

"Maybe." I say giving him a quick kiss.

"Dinner's ready!" Christina shouts looking pleased with herself. I sit down at the table with Tobias on my right and Uriah on my left. In front of me is a piece of meat, beef I assume, with green beans and mash. In the center of the large table is a jug of what I assume is a sauce for the meat. I smile. I haven't eaten much for the past few weeks. Not all in one go anyway.

"This looks so nice Chris." I say feeling Tobias' large warm hand touch my thigh gently. I place my hand on top of his.

"So, have you two thought of baby names yet?" Marlene asks.

"Actually we have." I say feeling quite pleased with myself then I realize, we only thought of first names. We didn't think of middle names. "Well, first names." I say laughing a little. I feel Tobias' hand on my thigh again. "Astrid for a girl, Harvey for a boy." I see Marlene's eyes grow and then a tears wet her eyes.

"You three are going to have a special bond that nobody can compete with." She says. I finish my meal and offer my help to Will and Christina in the kitchen. They decline so I walk off into the bathroom. I pull down my trousers and then my jaw opens slightly and my eyes and body seem to crumple. I look up then look back down. My underwear is drenched in blood. A tear rolls down onto the floor.
