Chapter 26 – Christina and Will's Big News
One Week Later…
Christina's POV
Oh. My. Gosh. We did it. We finally get to start our family.
A week after Will and I started, I began to get sick and went to the infirmary. And what they told me was the greatest thing I have ever heard.
I was in our apartment, waiting for Will to get off work from the Control room, because I didn't have to work today. So instead of just sitting around doing nothing, I thought I'd surprise him by making his favorite dinner, pot roast with mushrooms and some Dauntless chocolate cake from the dining hall. It took almost 3 hours to make the pot roast, which was enough time until Will was supposed to be home. So by the time I finished making dinner and setting everything down at the table, I felt two arms wrap around my waist and felt soft kisses being placed on my cheek, neck, and shoulder.
"Well, what do we have here? Pot roast with chocolate cake for dessert. What are you planning Christina?" he asks me when I turn around in his arms to face him.
"I have some good news. But you'll have to wait until after dinner to find out." I smirk at him and he put on a fake pout that I just kiss away. "But I want to know what it is now." He tells me in a pouting voice but still has a smile on his face before he kisses me. "Oh well, Will. You have to wait until after dinner, and then I will tell you and then we can go tell Tris and Four the news together." I tell him before I take my seat at the table and he takes his after me. We eat in silence. But it's not the kind of awkward silence that wants to make us talk to break it. It's the kind where we don't have to say or do anything that will break the nice, peaceful silence.
After we are finished, Will decides to take our plates and put them into the dishwasher. Then he comes up to me and picks me up in a way that my legs are wrapped around his waist and his hands on my back to hold me up. He smiles at me when he speaks, "Dinners finished. Now are you going to tell me what the news is?" he asks.
I am so excited that I can't contain myself any more. I have a huge smile on my face when I tell him the news. "Will, I'm pregnant!"
Will's POV
Wow, I can't believe it. I am a step closer to having a family of my own. With the most amazing girl in the world. Since I am already holding her, I just spin us around in a few slow circles while kissing her.
"Christina. You have made me the happiest man alive." I say with a huge smile on my face, and she gladly returns one just as big. "Are we still going to tell Four and Tris?" I ask, looking back at the clock. It reads 9:00 p.m., so I'm sure Jake and Jenna are asleep while Four and Tris may still be up. Well, at least Four, anyways.
She nods and I put her down. We walk hand in hand to Four and Tris' door, and I knock three times, our little code we came up with, that way they know it's us and not people like Eric. Four answers a few seconds after the third knock.
"Christina, Will. What are you two doing here at this hour? The kids are asleep and Tris is the shower…" he says as he starts to yawn, making the end of his sentence fade out. "And why are you guys so 'smiley'?" he asks once he's recovered from yawning.
"Well, Will and I have some good news to share with you and Tris." Christina says. He just nods and lets us inside. We make our way to the living room. Four asks if we want something to drink, but we decline.
"So what's the news?" he says, just as Tris comes out of the bathroom. "Four, who are you talking-" she stops as soon as she sees me and Christina. "What are you guys doing here at this time?" she asks.
"Christina has something to tell you guys. Go ahead Christina." I gesture to her to tell them the news." She looks at me and nods and then looks back at them.
"Tris, Four. You guys are going to be and Aunt and Uncle." They just stare at her, with confused looks, then they have shock, and surprise written on their faces. I don't think that they are able to think straight and form a sentence, so Christina restates her announcement.
"Guys, did you hear me? I basically said that I am pregnant and you are going to be an Aunt and Uncle."
Tris' POV
She's pregnant? I definitely wasn't expecting to hear this. And apparently, judging by his facial expression, neither was Tobias. I am shocked, and I guess they are waiting for one of us to answer because they just stare at us, expecting something to come out of our mouths. So I decide to break the silence by running us to Christina and hug her tightly.
"Congrats you two! When did this happen?" I ask with a smirk, and Christina blushes in return. I ever thought I'd see the day where a Candor would blush in front of my own eyes.
"Well, we decided we wanted to start a family of our own a few weeks ago, and I just found out this morning. I told Will over dinner, and let's just say he was really happy about the news." She looks at Will who also is blushing a little.
"WE were really happy, Christina. And you were the one who wanted to rush over here to tell them after you made us eat everything on our plates over dinner." He says to Christina. Then he looks at Tobias. "This is what I was talking about when I said she sort of like to over react to things that excite her." He smirks, and that gets him a kind of well deserved, but gentle, smack on the arm. "Will!" she says. "I do not over react to everything that excites me."
"Yes you do, so don't deny it." And with that they continue their playful dispute, that is, until I decide to interrupt.
"So have you thought about any names yet by any chance?" they stop and Christina is the first to talk. "If it's a girl, I was thinking Sarah. And if it's a boy, James." She looks at Will. "What names to you have in mind?"
"I was thinking James for a boy also. But for a girl, maybe Anna." He says. They both look at us, silently asking our opinion on the names.
"James, and Anna. James and Sarah." Tobias whispers to himself. Then he looks up at me. "What do you think, Tris?" he asks. "I like James and Sarah." I tell all three of them and they nod.
Christina and Will smile like there's no tomorrow. "Then it's settled. If it's a boy, James, and if it's a girl, Sarah." He looks at Christina. "Yay!" she says a little too loudly and leans against him, and kisses him for a few seconds.
The kids come running down the hall with tired looks on their faces. "Mom, what's going on? Are you ok?" Jake asks. I love how he cares so much about others. I go over to him, and pick him up the best I can with this big stomach of mine. "Nothing's the matter Jake. Aunt Christina has something to tell you and Jenna. Go over and sit on the couch with them." I put him down and they both go over to sit on the couch.
"Jake, Jenna. You guys are going to have a little cousin." Will tells them and they just looks confused. Will continues. "Aunt Christina is going to have a baby. Just like your mom. But she is having one baby, not two like your mom is having." Soon, they are full of realization and get very excited.
"What is its name?" Jenna asks. "Well," Christina says while picking her up to sit on her lap. "We decided that if the baby is a girl, the name will be Sarah. And it it's a boy, it will be James. What do you two think of those names?" she asks them. Jake and Jenna turn to look at each other, having a silent conversations with just facial expressions. Then they both nod to each other and they look back at them. "We like those names. Especially Sarah's name." she says with a smile, then a yawn follows soon after.
"Ok you two." Tobias says while standing up and walking over to them to pick them up. "Time to go back to bed. You have school tomorrow, or did you forget. Winter vacation is over and you don't want to stay away from your friends any longer do you?" he says, once they are both in his arms. They shake their heads, and with that, he brings them back to bed. But not before he looks back over his shoulder.
"Oh, and congrats you two." He says to Christina and Will. Then he looks at me. "Tris, I'll be in bed. See you in a few." Then he walks down the hall to the kids bedrooms.
Will gets up and takes Christina's hand and brings her to stand up as well. "I guess we better get going. It's getting late, and I'm sure you are tired Tris. See you tomorrow. And don't hesitate to call one of us if you need anything." Christina says before they walk out the door to the apartment and the door shuts with a click. I walk over and lock it, then making sure all the lights are off, I go back to bed with Tobias. And I find him to be sleeping. Or at least, that's what it looks like.
I get into bed next to him and put the blankets over us. Once I am comfortable, I feel his arms wrap around my side and feel him smile against my skin as he kisses my neck. "Tris, looks like we will have five kids to look after now." He laughs a little and I do the same. "Don't forget, Tobias. You have to learn to calm down even more, now that there will be five kids to take care of. Well four, unless Will and Christina need us to look after their kid when they need us to. Which I'm sure won't be a lot." As soon as I stop talking, he gently turns me around, and kisses me for what feels like a long time.
We part for air and he speaks. "Good night Tris." He bends down, places his hand on my stomach, and kisses it twice. "And good night to you two as well." He gets back up so we are facing each other again, and soon we just fall asleep in each other's arms.
Sorry for the short chapter. I couldn't think of anything else to put in to make it interesting. But at least you get another chapter after a few days of not getting to read and updated story. In order for me to continue with the next chapter, I need ANY ideas that you all might have that you want to make the story interesting. By the way, I'm aiming to write at least 30 or so chapters, so any idea is a good idea.
P.s., I am also planning on writing another story after this one, so ideas for the next story are also greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
Don't forget to Read, Review, and PM me with some ideas of what you all would like to see happen next in this story, and ideas for the next story.
Later! :)
