Tris POV
"I'm going to stand here until you tell him." Christina was leaning up against the bathroom door frame while I sat on the couch.
We were waiting for Tobias to arrive so I could tell him before we go to Abnegation. How do I tell him? Do I just say that I'm pregnant?
"Christina, what if he doesn't want it? What if he-"
"Don't even think like that. He'll want it as much as you do."
"Want what?" Tobias walked into the apartment.
"Tobias, hi." I waved sheepishly.
"What's wrong?"
"You may want to sit down." Christina motions for him to sit next to me on the couch.
He does but he looks concerned. "Tris, you know you can tell me anything, right?"
I nod and take a deep breath. "W-we're going to have a baby." I said shakily.
"What?"
"We're going to have a baby." I said more firmly.
What happened next surprised me. He hugged me. I wasn't expecting him to. I thought he'd get mad and tell me to get rid of it. When he pulled back, I could see tears running down his face.
"You're positive?"
I smiled through tears of my own. "Positive. Christina made me take a test."
He hugged me again, this time not letting go.
"See? Aren't you glad I made you tell him?" Christina said.
"You didn't want to tell me?" Tobias pulled away.
Gee thanks, Christina. "I-I didn't know how you were going to react. I thought you'd leave me or tell me to get rid of it." I said honestly.
"I could never do that to you, Tris. I love you and you're going to make a great mom."
"You're going to be a great father."
"You'll probably give Zeke permission to take them zip-ling as soon as they can walk and teach them how to fight at three."
"How'd you guess?" I laughed lightly.
He kissed me and whispered something against my lips. I'm pretty sure it was I love you or I'm so happy.
"How about we not tell anybody until you're growing?" Tobias suggests.
"Yeah, Christina, please don't tell anyone. Even though I'm pregnant it doesn't mean I can't do something."
"Aww what about Uriah?"
"No!"
"OK." She pouted.
Only Christina and Tobias will know about my pregnancy. Good. We'll keep it on the down low. I sighed.
"We still have to go to Abnegation."
"We can still go. I just don't want you doing anything that can harm you or the baby."
"You're right. I won't. I'm probably going to help out with the children or directing people to new homes."
Christina's eyes widened. "I want to come with you."
"Why? You went last week."
"I want to see you with the kids. Besides we're going to talk about baby names. Oh, and baby showers. Will you guys get married now?"
I looked at Tobias. My face heated up and I could tell by Tobias's grin that it was red.
"I was going to do this at dinner, but it seems best to do it now."
He got off the couch, knelt down, pulled out out a box, and took my hand. "Beatrice Prior, will you marry me?"
In the box was a beautiful gold ring with an engraving on it. Four & Six.
I nodded. "Yes. Absolutely."
We kissed and Christina cleared her throat. "Two things. I'm planning this wedding and you guys should get going. The train should be here any moment."
Christina wasn't kidding either. Tobias and I ran out of the apartment and arrived at the tracks just in time. Tobias jumped in first and then helped me in. We sat on the right side of the car with our backs up against the wall. Tobias looked around the car before he faced me and put his hands on my stomach. I laughed at him and he made a face. I laughed even harder.
"It's not funny. Mommy's just being rude to daddy." He lifts my shirt and kisses my stomach.
He's serious about this. He really wants this baby.
"I'm sorry."
This time he laughs. "Apology accepted."
He cups my face in his hands and kisses me gently. It was gentle at first anyway. Then his free hand was at my back, pressing me against him and the kiss deepened. His hands moved to my waist, lifting my shirt slightly, and sliding over my stomach. Then I accidently ruined the moment by giggling.
"What?" He grinned.
"I-I don't know." I giggled some more.
Tobias looked backwards and hopped up. "Crap, we have to jump. Come on."
He helps me up and we jump from the moving train. Like he wanted it this way, instead of hitting the ground I landed on him. He grinned up at me. I got up and gave him a hand. Marcus was leaning up against a telephone pole shaking his head. I narrowed my eyes and walked right past him into Abnegation.
"You're late." Marcus follows.
"Yeah, so? We're late by a minute or two." I snap.
"A minute or two in which people could already have their houses."
"Shut up! Marcus, they'll understand. No one goes by what you say anyway! Just shut up!" I yelled at him.
"Just go help the builders, girl."
"Actually, Tris is going to give the family's houses and help with the children."
"No, she's not. She's scheduled to help with repairs. You're helping the children."
"We're changing jobs. Tris, go to Missy. She's at your old house."
I nod and run to my old house before Marcus could say anything. Tobias was right. Missy was waiting for me in the kitchen with Christina. What the hell is Christina doing here? How did she even get here without us knowing?
"I told you I wanted to come. I took a short cut and jumped into one of the cars closest to the front."
"Sneaky."
"Yep." She smiled triumphantly. "Come on, Trisy-Poo. We're going to give people houses!"
Christina grabbed my arm and marched with me across the street. People were lined up in front of the houses waiting to get their own. It must have been at least five hours before we finished. It was extremely hot out and I must be soaked with sweat by now.
"Christina, it's really hot out."
"Is there water somewhere?"
"I have no idea."
"Trisy-Poo, you look pale. Sit down. I'll go find some water."
"Trisy-Poo?" I laughed at my new nickname as Christina crossed the street to my old house.
Hopefully she'll find some water. I laid down on the sidewalk and closed my eyes. I heard foot steps walking towards me and ice cold water was dumped all over me.
"Christina!" I screamed.
Laughing erupted from over head. I opened my eyes. Christina was leaning over me with a bucket and a container with water in it.
"Why did you do that?"
"You were dehydrated. Your baby needs some water." She whispered the last part and handed me the container.
I sat up and downed most of the water. "Thanks."
"I need my godchild to be hydrated."
"Of course. Of course."
"Where's Tobias again?"
"I don't know? With, uh, Marcus I think."
Marcus. Why is he with Marcus? "Why?"
"Marcus wanted to talk to him."
"I need to get to Tobias. Marcus isn't allowed to talk to him."
"Says who?"
"Says me!"
"Look! Tobias is right there."
Christina was right. There was Tobias. No bruises or anything. He was fine and walking towards us. I laid back down and waited for him to be standing right next to me.
"Tris? Why are you laying down?"
"It's hot out." I replied coolly.
"Besides, Four, it's Trisy-Poo not Tris."
"Trisy-Poo?" He laughed.
"Yes, Trisy-Poo. Got a problem with it?"
"Uh, no. I won't be using it though."
"Good."
"Tobias, do we have to come back tomorrow?"
He sighed. "Yeah, you have to finish up your job."
"Crap. Oh, well. Christina, are you coming? Tobias could stay at the compound and you can come with me."
"Now why can't I come?"
"The initiates. Besides your job is done."
"True. Alright, but you have to promise to be careful."
"I promise."
"She's going to be fine, Four."
Tobias helped me up and the tree of us walked back to the tracks.
