I wake up the next morning and look next to me. Tobias never came home last night. The clock on my bed side table reads 9:42 a.m. it is a normal time for me to wake up, but I don't feel like getting out of bed. I simply lie back down and pull the covers over my head and begin to cry again.
*Tobias POV
When I wake up I forget where I am. I look around for a moment and remember that what happened last night was real. It wasn't just a bad dream. I wish it were though. It would have been less painful if it were. I stand up from my spot on the ground and remember that I slept near the chasm. That explains why my back is killing me.
I walk to the cafeteria, hoping that some food will help clear my mind. I sit at our usual table with a plate of eggs, bacon, and toast. I sit and eat my breakfast while thinking about what I said to Tris last night. I am deep in thought when Zeke brings me back to reality.
"Hey man, are you okay?" He asks. I can tell that he is genuinely concerned.
I shake my head no and look down at the remnants of my food.
"What happened?" Shauna asks sitting down beside Zeke.
"Tris and I got into it last night. I didn't want to do anything I regretted, so I left and she told me not to come back." I say, still looking down.
When I finally look at them, they are just staring at me. Shauna finally comes out of her daze and reaches across the table and smacks me upside the head.
"What was that for?" I glare at her.
"Four, you fucking idiot." She says. "Tris is pregnant. You can't just get into a fight with her and leave. She is probably freaking out right now." Just then, Will, Christina, Uriah, and Marlene join us.
"Hey, what are we talking about?" Christina asks as she sits down next to me.
"Four and Tris got into a fight, and he left." Shauna spits out my name like its poison.
Now Christina smacks me in the head, "you dumbass! What in the world were you thinking? The girl is pregnant for Christ's sake!"
"Will everyone quit hitting me." I say.
"What happened?" Will asks.
I sigh, "I was trying to help her and she flipped out on me. I didn't feel like fighting with her, so I went for a walk, but when I started walking down the hall, she told me not to come back." It isn't the whole truth, but it is the main reason I left.
"Dude." Will and Uri both say in unison.
"You better go talk to her." Christina spits at me.
"I will, I just want to give her some time."
"No, now! If I know Tris, and I do, she is going to be heartbroken right now. You need to go talk to her." Christina's voice becomes a little more gentle, "Four, she needs you right now."
"Fine, I'm going." I stand up and walk out of the cafeteria and towards the apartment.
The door is thankfully unlocked. I didn't take my keys with me last night, so I would have had to pick the lock, or bust the door down.
I enter cautiously, not knowing what to expect. I see that the living room and kitchen are empty, so Tris must still be in bed. I slowly open the door to our bedroom and see a mound of blankets on the bed. Knowing that Tris is somewhere buried beneath them, I walk over slowly and pull them away.
There she is. Curled up into a ball in the middle of the bed lies Tris. She must feel the cold air on her bare skin because her eyes flutter open almost immediately.
She blinks a couple times then jolts up and scoots away from ,
me, like she is afraid. Her hand is resting on her stomach while she does this. It breaks my heart a little to have her think that I would ever hurt her or our daughter.
*Tris POV
I feel cold air on my bare legs and open my eyes to see why I feel that way. I blink a couple times, but only enough to make out a figure in the shape of an adult male. I sit up rather quickly and move away from the figure while clutching my stomach, trying to protect my unborn baby.
Once I feel like I'm a safe distance away, I blink a few more times to see who the figure is. My vision slowly comes into focus and I see that the man standing before me is Tobias. I let out a sigh of relief and take my hand from stomach.
"Tris I-" I cut him off as I jump up and wrap my arms around him.
"Please don't ever leave me again." I say into his shirt.
He let's out a large sigh and hugs me back, "I promise, I won't leave unless you want me to."
"No, not even then." I object.
"Okay, not even then."
Our embrace lasts at least five minutes. I slowly pull away and look into his eyes. Oh how I have missed them. Even though it hasn't even been 24 hours, it feels like it's been a lifetime since I saw them last.
"Tobias, I am so sorry for what I said yesterday. I was hormonal and flustered and scared, and I'm sorry. Please forgive me." I plead.
"Tris you have nothing to be sorry for. I was pushing too hard, and I just should have stopped talking about it when you told me to. I just wanted to make sure that you are comfortable through these next few months, and I was a being a dick. I wasn't thinking about what you actually wanted and I'm sorry."
"You were not being a dick. You were just trying to help me. If anything, I was a dick. I just over reacted. I was scared about being being a mother at such a young age, and my hormones were going insane. I'm sorry."
He envelopes me into another hug. "I love you Tris."
"I love you too." My voice is muffled because I'm speaking into his shirt.
He pulls back after a few minutes and bends down to kiss me. I am at least a foot shorter that him so he has to go down pretty far to be able to reach my lips.
The kiss is short and light. No hunger or lust was detected, but it was full of passion. Even though it only lasted a couple seconds, it felt like the most passionate kiss I've even had. I love the way Tobias kisses me. Both his hands go around my waist and mine go around his neck. He pulls me as close to him as humanly possible and just holds me as our lips are pressed together.
I am the one to pull away this time, but only because I hear a knock at the door.
Tobias groans and I go to answer the door. When I open it I am pulled into a hug by someone when I pull back I see that it is Christina.
"Tris, are you okay? Did Four come and talk to you. If he didn't, I swear to God-" she rambles, but I cut her off.
"Chris, calm down. I'm fine, and yes, Four did apologize." I tell her. "What were going to do to him if he didn't?"
"If he didn't what?" She asks, like what she said two seconds ago never happened.
"If Four didn't come talk to me." I say, "I mean, it's not like you could do that much. He is like ten times stronger than you."
"Oh, I'm not the only one who would have been pissed at him. All of our friends are mad at him too." She says.
Just after she says that, Four comes out of the bedroom and wraps his arms around my waist from behind. Christina glares at him for a second, but then it turns into a smile.
"Four, if you ever do that again, I will personally throw you over the chasm." She threatens.
"Challenge accepted." Four states.
"What ever, I'm just happy you guys worked it out. I guess I better go tell the others, cause they are probably all plotting against you right now. Bye." With that Christina turns and leaves.
Four shuts the door and turns me to face him. We share a deep passionate kiss then laugh at what Christina said about throwing him into the chasm.
