Chapter
"Where is she!?" Tris yelled pushing Peter up against the way and holding her arm to his throat. "I know you know so just tell me!"
"I don't know what you're talking about." He laughs out and she pushes her arm deeper into his throat, making his voice hitch. "Seriously I don't know where your dear little Natalie."
"Don't lie," she growls and he pushes her off of him.
"I'm not lying, I wouldn't do that," he lies straight through his teeth.
"Oh please, you tried to kill me during initiation for all I know you could be jealous because I beat you out for 1st rank." He shook his head and started toward the end of the softly lighted hallway. Tris straightened out her black, collared cardigan and blinked away tears.
…
"Tris, I'm sure Natalie's fine." Tobias tells her quietly while he put Grey in his bed for his nap. She does and lays Cale down. "Tris?"
"What?" she snaps looking up at her, silent and slow tears falling down her small face.
"I'm sure that she's, but if she's not then someone will be killed when we find her." he smiles and pushes me out of the nursery and shuts the lights off. "First you need to sleep. We have training in the morning."
Tris turns abruptly. "Why are you so peaceful about this?"
"Because, as a husband and dad I have to stay strong. Trust me on the inside I'm like this," Tobias scrunches his face up like he was constipated. Tris smiles a little and pushes his shoulder before walking into the kitchen and putting a pot in the sink and filling it all the way with warm water. She sets it on the black, electric stove and lights the ignition with the turn of a small button. "But I know that if I break down, you'll break down just the same."
"Yeah, you're probably right." She sighs and sits on a worn stool that Uriah got the two of them as a wedding present and rubs her face. "How long has it been?"
"One day." He smiles and walks to the opposite counter. "What are you making?"
"Christina gave me this remedy that will help me to fall asleep," she said and took the pot off the stove and sat it down on the counter over a pot holder.
"Well, I don't have enough energy to tend to the twins." Tris looks over to him and looks him straight in the eyes.
"You don't have enough energy to kick me when the baby wakes up and say 'Tris the baby's awake?'" She asks and mimics his deep voice.
"I never said that I was a miracle worker you know."
…
"I want a mile from all of you; the first one to throw up first has to be a target for the first round of knives." Tris screams over the room of initiates. Groans uproar at the end of her very small speech. "Oh get over it, it's the last day of course one."
"Yes." Dakota pumps her fist in the air. Tobias grunts and pulls his wife out of the room as the stampede of initiates start their run.
"Who do you think will throw up first? I'll bet you 15 points that it's Elliot," Tobias whispers to her and she shakes his hand.
"Bet you 25 points that it will be Jordan." She tells him. They shake hands and make their way to the track. When they got out there, they see the ginger headed boy crouching by the ripped up grass. "Ha, you owe me 25 points. I will except payment in points which is how you would have already paid so…"
"Oh I should have known not to make bets with my own wife." He grumbles and sits on a bench and pouts like Natalie will whenever they don't let her have candy, yet Tobias always caves in and gives her some.
"Pout all you want, I'm still taking the points. They will for some nice diamond earrings." She smiles and watches as the two Abnegation twins come off the track. "5 minutes. That beats my all-time best."
"Thanks," Hanna says for two of them.
"Go down to the training room, I believe that Jordan will be a target for all of us." They smile and look at each other before they walk back to the compound together.
"The stiffs beat us?" Jordan asks from behind Tris. She turns around to see Jordan, hunched over panting and heaving, standing next to Jamie who is in the same position. "Dude, we need to shape up."
"Yeah, especially since you were the first to throw up and you were only on the first lap. Thanks for that by the way, I just gained 25 points. I'm going to buy some diamond earrings with those points." Tris plays with her ears and watches as Jordan and Jamie make their way back, mumbling profanities about Tris and Tobias.
…
"Congratulations, weaklings. You made it to the first stage without dying. Good for you." Eric says and gets off his stool and exposes the black board. "So, those of you have been listed in the last 3 places, so sorry, but you are officially factionless."
Ally, Jasper and B.G. all hang their heads and Tris makes her way out of the dormitory. Tobias stays though, having to seem like Four still. While in the hallway, Tris leans against the hall.
"Mommy!"
A/N: Sorry that it took so long to update but I just couldn't think of what to write. It's kind of become a habit of mine to ends some chapters in the word Mommy. It's kind of scary. I don't know why, but I like to do cliffhangers. Anyway… I hope that you guys liked this chapter and that I can make you all happy. Please tell me what you thought in a review or PM because Reviews are like chocolate, I. Love. Them.
