Sorry for the very late update.
I had half of this chapter written, but then I eventually forgot I already had half made, but I accidentally saved it to another folder, and then I had to come up with ideas of where this chapter would go and how Will, Four, Tris, and the kids will react to another baby around, etc. Sorry again, I'm rambling.
ANYWAYS! This is, sadly, the last chapter for 'Story Time' :(
But Enjoy!

Chapter 30 – New Member Of The Family
Two months later…
Christina's POV
I can't believe that in only a few days, I will be having my first baby. Hopefully the only one, but only time will tell.
Will is at the control room, making sure that the Dauntless compound is safe and secure. He has been doing this for a few hours every other day or so since Four exiled Eric and his 'pals' from Dauntless. And I was sitting here in my apartment with Tris, while Jake and Jenna are at school and Four is back at their apartment with Aria and Connor.
When I decided that I wanted something to eat, I got up from the dining room table where I was reading, and when I did, I felt a sharp pain in my. Oh crap! I think to myself and all of a sudden, I almost fall to my knees before Tris came running over and caught me just in time.
"Christina, are you ok? What happened? I leave the room for two minutes and I come back to find you falling to the floor!" she says quickly and nervously. I look at her through squinted eyes because of the pain I was in.
"Tris, I think it's time." I say, my voice strained. She has a confused look, but it's gone as quickly as it came. "I'll call the infirmary and they will bring you down. When you're there safely, I'll call Will and Four." She says and I nod. Well, as much as I can anyways.
Minutes later, two nurses come rushing into the apartment and put me on a cart, and brought me to the infirmary. I was in the elevator, when another sharp pain in my stomach hit me and I screamed out in pain. Thank goodness Tris was with me. "Christina, just breathe. The sharp pains are contractions. How long has it been since the last one hit you?" she says quickly and I think back to the first one. "About 7 minutes or so." She nods and takes out her cell phone. I hear her say Will and Four's name, telling them what's happening. Then she hangs up, and soon we are out of the elevator, and down the hall from the infirmary.
After we get there, a doctor comes over and Tris explains what's going on. She nods and tells her to wait out here for Will. Then she turns to the nurses who brought me here, and tells them to bring me to an empty room. As soon as they help me get into a gown and I am lying on the bed, another contraction hits. That's when the door to my room comes flying open with a very out of breath Will standing in the door way.
"Christina." He says with a sigh and comes rushing over to me. He takes my hand with one of his hands, and uses the other to move my hair out of my face. "Everything's going to be fine. Tris told me what happened, and Four was giving me advice as to how I should deal with this." He said, laughing at the last part. The pain slowly went away, so I laughed with him a little.
The doctor soon comes in not long after Will came. "Ok, Christina. I'm going to measure you, and see how far you are. That will let me know when you are ready to push." I nod, since Tris was the one telling me all this stuff before, seeing as how she has four kids already. I can't wait to hold a child of my own in my arms soon. After she is done measuring and taking blood pressure notes, she leaves and it's just Will and I in the room.
Will's POV
When the doctor leaves, it's just Christina and I in a silent room. That is, until my cell phone unexpectedly beeps, causing us both to jump a little in surprise. I look at Christina, and we both laugh at ourselves for being surprised at a sound from a cell phone. I look down at the phone, and see that it's a text from Four.
Four: "Tris told me that you two don't have a name picked out yet because of how you two said you wanted the gender to be a surprise, right?"
Me: "Yes. Why?"
Four: "Then start picking some names before it's time. That way you two can still have it be a surprise."
Me: "Right. Thanks Four."
I put the phone back in my pocket, and when I look up, I see Christina sitting up and looking down at her hand on her stomach. I place mine over hers, and she smiles but continues to look down.
"Christina, we need to pick a name soon. That way it can still be a surprise." I tell her, copying Fours words. She nods and looks up. "I think I like Tyler for a boy, and…" she stops and thinks for a minute. "And maybe Talia for a girl. What do you think?" she asks me. I smile and kiss her cheek.
"Those are wonderful names. In fact, I was thinking the same names. Well, the girls name, really. For the boy, I was actually thinking about Tony." She smiles and I return one. "I think Tony sounds better than Tyler, actually. So it's decided, Talia for a baby girl and Tony for a baby boy." She tells me and I nod.
Soon, after we had decided on what the baby's name is going to be, she starts to scrunch her face, like she does when she's in pain, and she screams out, grabbing and squeezing my hand with a really tight grip. All I can do is smooth down her hair and keep it out of her face and hope for her to calm down again, because there is nothing I can do to make the pain go away. Then the doctor and a nurse come rushing in. The nurse brought in a little bed with a blue and pink hats and blankets, seeing as how we don't know if it's a boy or girl yet.
The doctor comes and measures Christina's stomach and she smiles. "It looks like you are ready now, Christina." She says and I smile as I help Christina get adjusted and comfortable on her bed. Soon the doctor says she can start to push, and when she does, she grabs my hand and squeezes it tighter than before. I have a feeling that it's going to be sore for a day or two.
PAGE BREAK
10 minutes later, while I am looking at Christina and brushing her hair from her face, I hear a small cry. I turn and see that it's our baby, but I can't tell what it is, because it's facing the doctor.
"Congratulations, it's a little girl." The doctor says as the nurse comes to take the baby to get cleaned and whatever else they do to make sure it's healthy. Soon, she is wrapped in a pink blanket with a little pink beanie on her little head, and is asleep and placed in my arms.
"She's beautiful, just like her mother." I tell Christina when I turn to show her the baby. I place her in her arms and she holds her as if she did a thousand times. Actually, she kind of already has, and still is, with Tris and Four's kids.
She smiles when looking at the tiny pink bundle in her arms. "Hi Talia. I'm your Mommy. And over there is your Daddy. We both love you very much." She says and kisses Talia's little forehead and pokes her nose. She looks at me. "Can you take a picture of the three of us so we can send it to Four and Tris like they did for us?" I nod and set my phone up on a table and put the self-timer on.
It beeps for 5 seconds, and then a flash goes off. We are slightly blinded by it, but it wears of in a few seconds. I get up and bring the phone back.
"Should we do the same thing that Four did with his picture? Putting a little caption at the bottom?" I ask her and she nods. Tapping an app on my phone, I type, 'Say hello to Talia' at the bottom of the picture. I show Christina before I send it, she smiles and she nods. After I send the text to Four, I put my phone away, and pick Talia up from Christina's arms into mine and sit back in my chair. Talia is sleeping in my arms and Christina starts to go to sleep. I would do the same if I were her. I can see that having a baby does take a lot of energy.
While I'm sitting down with a sleeping Talia, I hear a quiet knock on the door. Without waiting for me to answer, I see Tris, Four, Jake Jenna, and the twins, Connor and Aria, come into the very quiet room.
"Hey, Will. How did everything go?" Tris asks after seeing Christina asleep in her bed and then she looks at me and Talia.
I look at Tris. "Everything went fine. The doctor said she will be tired and sore for a while, but she's all good." I look back down at a sleeping Talia, and smile. Tris comes over to me. "Is this the new little monster?" she says while laughing a little at the last part. I nod. "This is Talia. Talia, this is your Aunt Tris." I look up and see that Tris has some tears in her eyes. But they are tears of joy, not sadness.
"I have been waiting a long time to hear 'Aunt' and 'Tris' to be in the same sentence." She says when she bends down and moves the blanket down a little more so it's past Talia's chin, and she kisses her forehead. "She is so beautiful. Just like her mom. Does she have your or Christina's eyes?" she asks looking at me.
I shrug my shoulders a little, so I don't wake Talia. "I don't know. She hasn't opened her eyes yet. She has been asleep for 20 minutes, and Christina went to sleep about 10 minutes ago. So neither of us know what her eyes look like." I tell her and she nods. I look over at the door and see Four and the kids still waiting by the door. I motion for them to come over here and they do. And they are surprisingly as quiet as Tris was.
"Congrats, Will. What's her name?" Four asks, looking at Talia. "Talia." I tell him and he nods with a smile on his face. "Do you want to hold her Four?" I ask him and he nods again and slowly and quietly walks over to us.
I look down, but still talking to Four. "Four, what you want her to call you by? 'Four' or 'Tobias'? I ask him. And without even thinking about it, he answers. "Tobias." I nod, still looking down at Talia before I hand her over to Four. "And this is your Uncle Tobias, Talia." At that, I see the same look on his face that Tris had, but without the tears part.
Tobias' POV
I'm an Uncle. And Tris is an Aunt. This is probably, the third best day, after Jake, Jenna, Aria, and Connor, of my life.
Will gently gets up and places the little pink bundle into my arms. I look at Talia, and see that she is about to yawn. After she does, she makes a small smile in her sleep, at least I thought it was in her sleep, that is, until I see her eyes start to open right in front of me.
"Will, she's opening her eyes." I tell him, and he quietly rushes over to us. He looks at his daughter, and I can almost see his eyes melt when she faces him after her eyes are fully opened.
"Let me hold her for a second for." He tells me, and I do ask he asks. "Hey there, Talia. I'm your Daddy." He turns a little so Talia can see Christina's sleeping face. "And over there is your Mommy. We love you very," he stops, and kisses her head. "Very," and kisses her head again. "Much." And he hugs her.
"Christina," he says after he walks over to her, and gently shakes her awake. She wakes up, but still looks very tired. But that look goes away once she sees Will holding Talia, whose eyes have finally opened and is smiling at her.
She places a hand over her mouth, just like Tris did when she saw Aria and Connor when she woke up after having them. "Her eyes are open. What color are they?" she asks with a smile on her face, still looking at Talia. "They are…" he stops and looks back to see Talia's eye color. Then he looks back to Christina. "Blue with a little mix of green. So they half mine and you eye color." He says with a smile.
He places her in her arms and she gives her a hug, being as gentle as possible as not to squish her. Then she looks over at Jake and Jenna. "Jake, Jenna. Come here for a minute." She tells them, and they go right over to her, and gently climb up onto her bed. Careful not jostle her and Talia around so much.
"Aunt Christina, she's so cute!" Jenna excitedly whisper yells. Jake smiles at Talia. Does that mean Talia is our cousin now, Aunt Christina?" Jake asks, and she nods.
PAGE BREAK
After a while of being at the infirmary seeing Will and his new family, I decided that it was time Tris, the kids, and I head back to our apartment. Aria and Connor started getting fussy, so that was another reason I thought it was time to go. They need their sleep, and I'm guessing, so does Christina and Will. It's been a long day for the two of them.
"Ok, I think it's time we go. Aria and Connor are getting fussy and I think they are hungry. What do you think, Tris?" I ask her, and she nods. "Bye Talia. You have to go back to your Mommy now." She says and places a kiss on her forehead before giver her back to Christina. We all say our goodbyes and had back to the apartment
Christina's POV
I can't believe it. Will and I are parents and we have a beautiful baby girl, Talia. I can't wait until we are able to do things with her, like we do with Jake and Jenna.
I am starting to doze off and fall asleep with Talia in my arms, when I feel a hand on my shoulder. "Christina," Will says with a quiet, but soft and gently voice. "I'll take Talia. You need to get some sleep. It's been a long day, for all of us." He says smiling. Then he kisses me before taking Talia into his arms, and sits back in his chair, and soon I fall asleep. Thinking about how exciting our lives are going to be now that there are 3 babies to look out for, plus Jake and Jenna. One can only hope for the best, right?
The End.
Again, I am very sorry for not updating for a while. I kept getting side tracked, and didn't know how to end this last chapter of 'Story Time'. I know you all are sad that this is the end, and to be honest, so am I. But like I said, I didn't know how else to make the ending interesting.
The next time I have a story put out, it may or may not be about one of the kids' life as an initiate themselves. So, I need ideas, because I have a couple so far from people who want the next story to be about one of the kids, but that seems like it's already been done by a few other people, so I don't want to copy their ideas.
Thank you all so much for reading 'Story Time' and taking the time to review. I am glad you liked it, and I can't wait to see everyone review for my next story. Later! :)
P.s., When any of you have some ideas for the next story, please PM me, because that is the only way I will have to see what you all would like me to write. Thanks again everyone! :) Dauntless cake for everyone! *hands out cake to all* :)
