If I published my book do you think people would actually read it? I mean, I don't think i write that well but I've been told otherwise what do I do? Anyway, sorry if I made some of you made with the baby thing. Sorry if the baby shower is a bit lame. I've never been to one so I don't know anything. Just use that as a head up when you criticize me. Oh and sorry for cussing in this chapter. I think she deserves to though... If you guys really want the other baby back, I'll see what I can do.
Tris POV
"I'm sorry." Christina said.
I moved around the breakfast on my plate with a fork. "I was going to tell you. I just didn't know how and I wanted you and Uriah together. You two seem so happy together."
"We are. I overreacted and I was so shocked that I didn't know how to comprehend it."
"Can we just forget about it?"
"Absolutely. Now, you need to get ready for your baby shower."
That was the Christina I know.
"But I have to eat. Tobias gets mad if I don't." I pouted.
"Do you really want to?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Nope." I said, popping the "p".
"I'll tell him you finished it. Now, come on!"
Christina pulled me out of the chair and into the bedroom. She'd bought me a really pretty purple dress. It had a low v-neck and long sleeves that made a trail of cloth, like a wedding dress. She curled my hair again and allowed me to wear flats. For the baby's sake of course.
"Beautiful." Christina stepped back and stared at me. "How're you doing?" She looked up at me. Concern filling her eyes. "Everyone was ready to have a baby shower for two, but it got changed at last minute. Are you ok?"
I shook my head and she opened her arms. I went into them and cried. This wasn't fair. He/she could have lived a nice long life with their sibling and parents.
"How could I have let this happen? It lost its life because I couldn't control the stress!" I cried.
"It's okay." She stroked my hair. "It wasn't your fault. It was everyone else's. We all knew you were pregnant and we still stressed you out. I'm so sorry."
"I'm still lucky to have one of them healthy and alive, but I would be so much happier if I could have kept both of them."
"I know, Trisy-Poo. I know."
I continued to cry until Shauna came in. "Aw, sweetie. Come here."
I went into her arms and cried a little bit. "Uh, I have to stop crying."
The three of us said, "Hormones." at the same time and started laughing. Then Tori came in to get us. The truth? I don't want a baby shower. Heck, they can just leave the gifts at the door and leave. Tobias, Zeke, and Uriah were the only guys here. I laughed at that. Tori, Shauna, Christina, Cathy, Johanna, Cocoa, Elizabeth, Sara, Polly and Crystal were here too. After a few minutes Brock, Nick, Jack, Stephen, Damien, and Miles walked in with a really big present. No one bothered to wrap anything up and to that I am grateful. No mess to clean up afterwards. After they arrived, we played some games. Our last game was seeing how much toilet paper it would take to wrap around my stomach. Everyone threw random guesses out there, but Zeke got it right. About 4 1/2 feet. I'm still sad about the twins thing, but Christina and Shauna are trying to make me forget about it.
"Everyone forgets about it after a while." Christina said.
"I just found out yesterday."
"So? Trisy-Poo, you're going to be the mother of a very happy and healthy baby. They will love you and you will love them. They're going to have the most risk taking parents ever, but still. Cheer up."
Shauna put her fingers at the corners of my mouth and pushed it up to a smile. I smacked her hands away and laughed. Shauna clapped her hands.
"Present time!"
By the time everyone left and I said my thank you's, I had a crib, baby necessities like diapers and bottles (etc.), a highchair, some neutral colored clothes, stuffed animals, and baby food. I was so shocked that I got all of this for the baby, I forgot to close the door after everyone went out. Tobias came up from behind and closed it for me.
"I can't believe we got all of these things."
"It's a baby shower." He shrugged.
"You have to remember to put up the crib in the nursery."
"I'll remember." He kissed me.
2 1/4 months later
I've been awake all night because of the baby kicking. Tobias was worried and didn't want to leave for work, but I convinced him to leave. I have bags under my eyes and I'm positive I'm hungry, but every time I move, they kick. It's getting really annoying.
"Tris, get up. You have to go in the shower." I ordered myself.
I forced myself to get up. The baby didn't kick. Relief flooded me, but then panic. Did something happen? Then I felt them kick again. I sighed and went into the bathroom. I stripped off my clothes and slowly and carefully got into the shower. After the great combination of soap and warm water, I got out and got dressed into black pants and a purple shirt. The baby kicked me hard and I winced, but continued to clean up the water. When I was sure I finished, I started to leave but slipped. Where- oh crap. My water just broke and Tobias isn't here. We'd packed the bag for the infirmary weeks ago, but I don't have time to grab it. Pain broke out over my body. I held back a scream of internal pain and reached for the phone. Who do I call? Tobias? He's at work? They need him more. No, scratch that I need him more. I called Tobias and he picked up on the first ring.
"My water just broke."
Silence and then it sounded like the phone dropped. Weird.
"He's on his way, Tris. Call Uriah. He'll help you to the infirmary." Zeke's said into the phone.
"Ok, Zeke, thanks."
"I'll see you there." He hung up and I called Uriah.
"Uriah, can you come get me? I'm sure my water just broke."
"On my way. Did you call Four?"
"He's on his way." Uriah hung up and I heard the front door open.
"Tris?" Uriah called.
"Bathroom." I called back and held back another scream.
Damn this hurts. Uriah rushed in and grabbed me. We quickly walked to the infirmary. The gave me a wheel chair and brought me to a room immediately. Tobias is still nowhere to be found. Did he pass out or something? I hope not. Shauna and Christina were in the waiting room as we zoomed passed. Uriah stayed with them and as the doctor helped me into the bed, I wondered what was going on. The doctor helped me take off my pants and position my legs so it would be easy for later.
"Who's your doctor?"
"Dr. Swiftwater." I replied.
"She'll be in here in a second." The doctor ran out and Dr. Swiftwater ran in.
"How long have the- Tris, when did your water break?"
"This morning. I was wiping up water and when I finished it broke."
"Have you been feeling pain and for how long?"
"I wasn't able to sleep. The pain and kicking was so bad it kept me up."
"Tris, you've been in labor all night."
"W-what?"
"We have to get you prepped."
"But Tobias isn't here." I squeaked.
"Sorry, Tris, but we need to get this baby out. They don't want to wait any longer."
Crap. "Can-" Tobias ran through the door and gave me a quick kiss.
"Sorry I'm late. The Pit was full of people."
"Tobias, the baby is ready. I've supposedly been in labor all night."
"Oh." He grabbed my hand and squeezed it.
"Alright, Tris, you're just going to have to push. On three. One. Two. Push."
I pushed with all my will. "Tobias! Why the fuck would you do this to me?! It hurts so much! I hate you for doing this to me!" I screamed and continued pushed when Dr. Swiftwater said to.
"And so it begins." He mutters and I glare at him.
"I see their head. One more push! One. Two. Push!"
Nurses got a blanket ready.I pushed with the last of my energy. A baby's scream erupted from the blanket. I sighed with relief.
"Daddy, would you like to cut the chord?"
Tobias kissed my sweaty forehead and cut the chord. "It's a boy." Dr. Swiftwater announced, handing Tobias the baby.
"We have to get you into surgery." She told me and they wheeled me out of the room.
Tobias was standing there, dumbstruck with a bunch of nurses tending to the baby boy in his arms. Dr. Swiftwater gave me something and soon I was out like a light. When I woke up I was back in the room. Uriah, Christina, Shauna, Zeke, and Tobias were waiting for me. Tobias was holding a blue blanket. I made a motion for him to bring it over to me. I squealed when he handed me my baby boy. Everyone laughed.
"Michael." I said.
"What?"
"His name is Michael." I said firmly.
"I like that name." Tobias smiled and kissed me.
When he pulled away, I took in Michael's features. He mostly had Tobias's features which most likely meant that he was going to be tall. Unlike his mom. I laughed.
"I think he's going to be tall." I thought aloud.
"How can you be so sure?" Shauna asked.
"He looks like Tobias."
Shauna came over and looked. "You're right. Four refused to let anyone else look at or touch him until you saw him."
"Aw how sweet." I said and pecked his cheek.
I just got an early xmas present, even though I bought it myself... I got Divergent! I mean, I read it a bunch already but now it's mine! Yay *fangirls* Oh and who wants me to bring the other baby back? I'll see what I can do...
