WooHoo! Actually got some of the goal for reviews reached. Thanks to those who reviewed.

I have been sick for like the past week, and I have just been so drained, that I literally couldn't think or talk straight. So yeah, sorry that I didn't update sooner.

Now, ONTO THE STORY!

Enjoy! :)

Chapter 9

Tobias' POV

I can't believe this. Connor, my youngest son, got a girl pregnant. At sixteen! I am absolutely furious, for two reasons. One, I thought I raised him better than this, and two, I also thought that Jake and I had this man-to-man conversation while we were throwing Jake's bachelor party before he got married a couple years ago. Jake already has a kid, and he's two years old. Jake was 22 when he and his wife had their kid. Connor just turned 16 a few months ago, and he is already having a baby.

"Dad I can explain." Again with the explaining things. However, the last time I didn't let him explain, and jumped to conclusions almost causing trouble. So I sigh, lean against the wall, and he continues. "Sienna and I were celebrating her birthday, as you was a couple weeks ago. We were just having dinner at her apartment. Her parents were away on their anniversary, and we had dinner at her place. Afterwards, we just started kissing, then, as you can guess, lead to other things. Now, two weeks later, here we are. With a baby on the way."

When he stops, he goes from looking all brave and looking me directly in the eye, to fading his last sentence away as he looks down at the ground and slides down the wall to the floor. He bring his knees up to his chest, puts his head down on them, wraps his head around his legs, and starts to cry. I have never seen him so… like this before. We are in a public hallway, because this is where the apartments are, so I can't have a father –son conversation right now. So I decide to take him to my hiding area in the chasm.

"Connor, come with me." I tell him, he looks up, trying to stop tears from falling, but his red face is a dead giveaway that he has been crying. "Wh- why? Where are we going?" he asks. I don't say anything, just nod my head in the direction I want him to follow me in. He gets up and walks with me, the whole time he's staring at the ground.

After about five minutes of walking, we get to the hiding place in the chasm. Connor sits on a rock against the wall, and I sit on one opposite of him. "Connor, look at me." When he does I continue. "Let me tell you something, about mom and I. I was 20 and your mom was 18 when I asked her to marry me. When I was 21, and she was 19, she told me that she was pregnant. At first I didn't I hear her correctly, but soon realized that what she said was true. So that made me realize that I had to take on more responsibility. As a father of a baby, and as a husband. Now think about this. You are 16 and not married and obviously neither is Sienna. But think about her for a minute." He does and I see him start to smile. "What do think she is feeling, right now. With everything that's already going on. Now she's pregnant on top of all that."

His smile starts to fade away, and it's replaced by his looking full of guilt. "Connor, I know what you're going through with the tests, choosing factions, and initiation that will be happening soon, but you need to make a decision now. If you choose to leave Dauntless for something else, imagine how Sienna will feel. I don't know what she wants to do, but I can guess that she wants to be with you wherever you go. So think wisely about what you are going to do. Do what's best for you and Sienna, and the baby."

With that, I leave him alone to think. But not before he gets up and runs to me, not even four feet to the stairs yet. He looks like a little kid again, the way he is hugging me and crying into my chest, like he did when he was sad. I know this isn't manly of him, but I still have to remember that he is only 16, and he just himself into a big predicament. I hug him back and eventually he calms down and lets go of me.

"Sorry, I know that isn't what men are supposed to do." He makes a weak smile, and I give a supporting one in return. "Connor, it's ok to cry sometimes. And look around, it's just me and you, father and son, talking about something important." He nods. "Thanks, Dad. Can we go home now? I want to talk to Sienna." I nod, and we leave the chasm and head back to the apartment.

Aria's POV

As soon I wake up, I realize that today is the aptitude tests. And we don't have to be at school today until 9:00 a.m. I don't know how long it's been since I arrived at Talia's last night so I look at the clock. 7:48 a.m. Wow, it's already morning? I go to take the DVD out of the TV and put it back in its case on the shelf. When I get there, I see a note at the door. Someone must have slid it under while Talia and I were sleeping. I pick it up and read it.

Aria,

I came by to tell you something, and I think it's pretty important. But I guess either you and Talia were asleep, or you two went out to do something. Meet me at our special place at 8:10 a.m.

Love, Tristan

I smile after reading the note. And I guess Talia was reading it behind me too, because the next thing I know, she's screaming in my ear.

"Ohmygod! What do think he has to say? By the way, where is your 'special place'?" she asks me after calming down a little bit. "First, I'm not telling you where out special place is because it's ours and it's special. Second, I have no idea what he want to tell me. Usually when he tells me that it's important, he has some sort of surprise for me. So I guess he's surprising me. Want to help me find something to wear?" she nods and goes to get clothes from her closet. While she's looking for clothes, and I'm looking through her magazines, I start talking about the aptitude test today.

"So, Talia. What do you think you're going to get on the test later on?" I already know where I'm going. Dauntless, forever and always. "Honestly, I really don't know." She says before she gets out some clothes. "I know that I want to stay here, but I don't know what the test is going to be like, so I don't know if it will tell me something different from what I want. Know what I mean?" she says while laying out some shirts and pants. Everything is all black, but they have cool designs in the stores in the Pit. "Yeah, I know what you mean. I want to stay here and-" she cuts me off. "No way! You're staying here? Now we can stay together!" she says as she hugs me. But I'm stiff as a board, and she seems to notice.

"Aria, what's wrong?" she says, her voice and face full of concern. I look at her. "What if Tristan and I can't be together because of my dad?" she sits on the bed next to me. "Aria, Uncle Tobias will realize that you and Tristan are meant to be together, don't worry. And at the choosing ceremony, Tristan might stay here, and that way you can still be with him, even if Uncle Tobias still doesn't agree. Once initiation is over, he can't really say anything about it because you'll be a dauntless member, and an adult. That means you can be with whoever you want." She says. After he little speech, we just hug for a little while, then get changed.

Talia is wearing a button down tank top with a white bottom trimmed skirt. She puts her dirty blonde, (more brown then blonde) hair in a ponytail. She also puts on her boots that have straps and buckles.

I have what looks, but actually isn't, ripped tank top and black jeans. My long blonde hair, thank you Mom, I think to myself, falls down my back, almost reaching the waistband of my pants. And I put on my black and white converse high tops. I know, Candor colors, but hey, I need to add some color to my outfit.

After we are all dressed and have everything ready for today, it's already 8:05 a.m. Crap! I think to myself. "Talia, I have to go or else I'm going to be late for Tristan." "Ok, bye Aria. Good luck, and I'll see you at school for the tests." We say goodbye and I go off to mine and Tristan's special place. The Net.

I know I said in chapter 8 that this chapter would include the aptitude tests for everyone, but I'm still sick, and really can't think straight or even type straight for that matter. Like I'll type a whole sentence or a paragraph for this chapter, then have to go back and fix every mistake that I made.

On top of that, I have to do homework that I was supposed to do last night, but I didn't because I fell asleep (STUPID COLD) And I had all day to do it today, because I stayed home, so I have to do it now before I forget.

Now chapter 10 will have the tests and stuff like that. Thanks for being patient with my slow updates. Read, Review, PM me, Later! :)
