Sorry I haven't updates for a couple days. My family had to prepare for the blizzard, 'Nemo' and my power was out, and I couldn't charge my laptop or phones, or get internet :( And you would figure that they would use that name for a hurricane or some other tropical storm, but no, they decided to be ironic and name a snow storm after a fish.

Also, I take it some people are wondering about poor Bear that is stuck at the vets. So I thought about including him in this chapter. But will he be back home with Tris, who is feeling much better? OR, will this, sadly, be the last chapter that he will be included in? That's for me to write, and for you to find out.

Oh, before I forget, at the end of this chapter, I gave shout outs to those who reviewed for this story :)

Ok, here's the next chapter I made for you guys, because I bet you're all tired of me rambling by now, and… I'm doing it again. You know what, you can read and enjoy the chapter now.

Enjoy! :)

Chapter 24 – Back Home

Tris' POV

It's been two days since I got home from the hospital, which I am very happy to be out of, and back home with my family and friends. I have doctors' orders, along with Tobias' constant nagging, to stay in bed and rest for at least two or three days.

I am laying in my bed, reading a book, when someone knocks on my bedroom door. And by the sound of it, it sounds like Christina's knocking.

"Come in." I say while still looking at the book. I see Christina come in through the corner of my eye as she sits next to me on my bed. "Hey Tris. Four said that you were in here resting and that I shouldn't bother you, but I couldn't wait to see you back to regular self. You know, not hooked up to heart monitors and stuff like that." I laugh and so does she, but her laugh is a little nervous. I look at her with a concerned look.

"Christina, what's the matter? You look and sound… nervous." I ask. "It's nothing Tris. Everything's fine. Don't worry about me." That's when she looks down at her hands on her lap, at the door, anywhere but my face. So after a few seconds, I decide to break this uneasy silence.

"Chris," I say, putting a hand gently on her shoulder. She looks at me, and I continue. "What's really going on? Is everything ok between you and Will?" she looks right back at me when I say the last part. "No Tris. Everything is fine with me and Will. It's… Bear." She says that, and I drop my book on my lap.

Will's POV

Tris and Four have been home for two days, and things have already gone back to normal. Except for the fact that Bear is still at the vets. Jake and Jenna are glad that Tris is back, but everyone can see that they miss their dog.

Speaking of Bear, Four just told me that the vets called, and asked him to go down there to talk about Bears health. I have no idea if it was good news or bad because he left so fast that I couldn't tell the expression on his face. So I am just sitting in our guest bedroom with Christina at Tris and Fours place, watching over the kids for Tris, because she can't be walking around much yet.

Twenty minutes after Four left, I get a text from him:

Four: "Will, the vet said that Bear is fine, for now. But they think he only has a few months left until… you know the rest."

I can't believe this. Bear, the toughest dog I've known since he was a pup, is going to leave us within the next few months. How are the kids and Tris going to handle this? I show the text to Christina and she lets out a gasp and outs her hand over her mouth.

"Ask Four if I should tell Tris, or should he later tonight." She tells me. So I text him back,

Me: "Should Christina tell Tris the news now, or do you want to tell her later tonight?" I ask him, and I get a response in no time.

Four: "Christina can tell her now. That way Tris can tell the kids the news now instead of telling them before they go to sleep."

I guess I don't even have to tell this to Christina, because she was leaning against my shoulder looking at my phone. She slowly walks to Tris' bedroom and slowly knocks on the door and within a few seconds, she disappears behind the door and quietly shuts it.

A little while later, I hear Christina and Tris come out of the room. I see Tris heading down the hall towards Jake's room, where the kids are, and Christina comes back, with tears in her eyes, back to our guest bedroom at the other end of the hall.

She shuts the door behind her, and then rushes over to me and cries on my bare chest, with me holding her tightly, reassuringly, and rubbing her back to calm her down. Something I learned from Four, and how he does this to calm Tris down. And it seems to work because soon, Christina is just quietly sniffling and her crying has become small hiccups.

"Will, she was so heartbroken." She says once she calmed down enough to speak. "I told her what Four said and she was stunned for a minute. She asked if I was messing around, and I said no. After that, she just lost it." I could tell she was starting to cry again, because I felt a few tears fall onto my chest. I lift her face gently in my hands and kiss her tears away, then kiss her nose then her lips.

As if to forget what happened a little while ago, she kisses me back. But this one is fully of passion and love. Just like the ones we shared the other night when we decided to start a family. She puts her arms around my neck and laces her fingers in my hair. Placing my hands on her waist, not breaking the kiss, I gently turn us around so she is on her back on the bed, and I am above her.

Soon, she breaks the kiss. "Will, what can we do to help Tris? She is going to lose her dog soon, and she's is pregnant… again… I still can't believe she didn't tell me until now. Did you know about it?" she asks, sounding like her normal self again. I just smile, and kiss her once before speaking. "Actually, I did." She has the look of shock on her face. "What? How come you knew about this and no one told me? How long have you known and how far along is she?" she starts asking questions a mile a minute.

"Well let's see. She is about a month, or further, along. So I knew when they found out. And the only reason no one told you is because she wanted to keep it a surprise until she started showing or until you suspected things." I tell her and she just playfully hits me in the arm with a small smirk on her face. "I'm her best friend and I don't know why she didn't tell me in the first place. But I kind of like how she wanted to let this be a surprise, and it is. Actually, it's double the surprise I was expecting of her." She laughs and I laugh with her.

It's when I am an inch away from kissing her that we hear a small, but loud, cry coming from down the hall. Christina and I spring up out of our bed, and run down the hall. It sounded like it was coming from the living room. When we get there, I see what I least expected to see for a while.

Tobias' POV

When I got to vets to speak with Bears vet, he told me that Bear had only a few months or so left. I was completely devastated on the inside, but being me, that is a side of me that only Tris ever sees.

He told me that I was able to take Bear back home with me and keep up with his medication as to help Bear as much as possible. He is getting to old get into the car as it is, but now since he is sick, I have to literally pick him up and put him in the car, where as a couple months ago, I only had to help him into the car.

I left the vet to bring Bear home, but not before I took him to a little park that I found close to Dauntless, and let him get as much exercise as he can handle until he gets tired and we have to go home.

Bear and I sit under a shady tree, him lying down and I sitting there petting his head. He turns his head to look at me. I see his eyes are tired and sad. Sad because I think her knows that he doesn't have much longer to be with me and his family.

When I see that it's time to be getting home, I take Bear back to the car and head back to Dauntless, Bears home for the rest of his life.

PAGES BREAK

We take the elevator up to my floor. It's when we walk inside, and with as much strength as possible, Bear runs up to Tris, who looks to have been crying, in the living room on the couch. Once she sees a big brown ball of fur running towards her, she cries and screams, full of happiness that I haven't heard in a long time.

"Bear. I missed you." She says when she drops to her knees on the floor and hugs him. Her voice is muffled and barely audible when she talks into his fur.

Tris' scream must have really loud, because I see Will, Christina, Jenna, Jake, and surprisingly running down the hall into my apartment, Shauna, come rushing into the living room. I had no idea that Shauna lived on, or close, to this floor. Well, close enough to hear Tris scream like that.

"Shauna, what are you doing here?" I ask her. She looks to be out of breath and leaning with one arm against the living room door frame. "I was… walking down… the hall when… I heard someone scream." She says out of breath. When she catches her breath, she continues. "It sounded like it came from this direction and when I caught up to your apartment, I realized that it was Tris that screamed. Is she ok?" she asks looking around for Tris, who is still kneeling on the ground, in tears, crying into Bears fur.

Christina's POV

When we heard Tris' scream coming from the living room, we found her crying on the floor into Bears fur. Now I know why she screamed like that. It was because she was glad to have her other family member back with her. Even if it is for a little while longer.

It's when I turn my head to the left, I see Shauna leaning against the living room door frame out of breath. "Shauna, what are you doing here?" Four asks her. He obviously has no clue why she's here and neither do the rest of us. "I was… walking down… the hall when… I heard someone scream." She stops to catch her breath, and when she does, she continues. "It sounded like it came from this direction and when I caught up to your apartment, I realized that it was Tris that screamed. Is she ok?" She says looking at Tris on the floor with her face buried in Bears soft, brown fur.

Tris looks up at the sound of Shauna's voice. "Shauna? What… what are you doing here?" she asks surprised. "I hear a scream from down the hall, and realized it was you. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, just really happy that Bear is back from the vets and not being able to see him after being in the hospital for a few days while he was stuck at the vets really makes things stressful." She says while petting Bears head.

"That's right, you were at the hospital. How did everything go?" she sounds like she's afraid that she asked that question. Tris looks back up at her and talks with happiness this time. "Everything went good. I had some problems with my appendix. But they were able to remove it without and problems." She tells Shauna who sighs of relief.

"Well that's good news." She says with a smile. "I guess a better get back to work." She is about to leave when Four stops her and asks her to talk to her out in the hall. She nods, and they leave without another word. I look at Tris and the kids, who I forgot ran out because they heard her scream, hug and play with Bear on the floor. I look at Will, and see that he is looking back at me too.

"Christina how come you aren't over there with the kids, Tris and Bear?" he asks me. "Because he's their dog and it's their time to be happy to see that he's finally back home." I start then look back at the little group in the living room. "Even if it's for a little while longer."

I feel Will's hand on my shoulder and he kisses my temple. "Come on. Let's go back to our place. Four's here now so we don't have to watch her unless he goes somewhere." I nod. Will and I go into the living room, and say good night to everyone and explain that if Tris needs anything that she can call us anytime.

With that, Four comes back in and we tell him exactly what we said to Tris. "If you need anything, like to help out with Tris, the kids, and even Bear, just call when you need us." He nods, and does the unexpected. He slightly bends down, because he is taller than me, and even Will, and hugs me. And I think I know why he does this, so I return a hug to him too.

"Thanks for being there for Tris when she needs it. I don't know how I would handle her and the kids if you two weren't around to help out." He says when he releases me.

We say our bye to Four and head back to our apartment. But we only just turn the corner that's just a little down the hall from Four's apartment, when Will decide to pick me up bridal style and rush back to our place.

I laugh and ask, "Will what are you doing?" he looks down smiling at me and kisses my cheek. "We, my beautiful wife, are going to start our family. Or did you forget?" he says the last part jokingly and laughs. I look up at him again when we reach our door. "I did not forget. I just thought that last night-" I don't get to finish my sentence because he kisses me passionately, in the hall where people will see us if they walk by. So I stop him and place a hand on his cheek.

"We will continue inside. Just not in the hall where someone might come and see you trying to practically rip my clothes off." I say with a small laugh, and he laughs as well.

Will's POV

When we get into our apartment, I am still hold Christina when she leans back to shut and lock the door behind us. She turn back to be and slides down so she is back to standing up. She leans forward, wrapping her arms around my neck, my hands on her waist, and kisses me like I did to her in the hall.

She breaks the kiss and speaks. "Will, are we just going to stand here, or go in the bedroom…" she trails off when I start to nibble on her ear lobe. It's when I start to trail kisses down her neck and start nipping at the soft spot between her neck and shoulder, she releases a slight moan that makes me pick her back up and bring her to our bed.

"Christina," I say against her lips before I lean back on my heels on our bed and look at her. "You are beautiful. I am so glad that you are going to be the mother of my child." She smiles, "And I'm glad that I am with you, and nobody can change that." And with that, she takes my arms, and pulls me against her.

After some time, we are laying against each other, catching our breath, and just enjoying the comfort of being help in each other's arms. I look at Christina, who has he face up against my chest. I kiss and stroke her hair, earning a smile from her from her sleep.

I love moments like this, where nothing can change our love for each other. I am about to fall asleep when there is loud knocking at the front door, and Christina jolts awake.

"What was that?" she asks, looking around the room half asleep. "I don't know." I look at her. "Put something on and stay here until I get back." I tell her while getting out of bed and putting on something that looks suitable for wearing to bed, as if we were just here sleeping.

I leave the bedroom and go to open the front door. But when I do, I see who I'd least expect at this moment. "Four, what's wrong?" "Eric." He said his name like it was venom, and that's all it took for me to run down the hall after him back to his apartment. It was a complete mess, like someone was looking for something.

I look at Four, "Where are the kids, Tris, and Bear?" he doesn't look at me, but at a piece of paper in his hands, when he responds. "Read this." I take to note from him and read it.

If you want to see your family again, alive, Four, meet me in the east hallway on the last floor of the Dauntless compound.

Eric

I crumple the note and throw it at the wall at the other end of the living room. With that, Four and I race down to the last floor to find the others.

Sorry for the awkward ending of this chapter. I didn't really want it to end with another Will and Christina fluff moment, so I decided to come up with something different. Don't hate me if you don't like it. I couldn't think of something else, and wanted to add some drama into this.

Someone wanted me to kind of fast forward a bit to where one of the kids are at their choosing ceremony to decide where they will go. But I'd like to say that I don't I will be doing that. I will fast forward a little in the chapters after the next one. Which, by the way, should be up possibly next week.
