Tris POV
Today is the day I find out my baby's gender, I'm secretly hoping its a girl because I've got the perfect name for her but then again I would still be over the moon with a boy. The only problem is that for this scan my foster mum can't come so I will be alone.
Tobias and I have been distant for the last few days since I haven't seen him, he said something about his back hurting him bad, although I don't really believe him. He hasn't been at school for a few days and he won't let me come to his house. I thought everything was fine but maybe this whole baby drama finally hit him and he doesn't want to be with me anymore. I wouldn't blame him.
I'm getting ready to go to the doctors when suddenly my phone rings, I eagerly pick it up. It's Four. "Hey." He croaks out, " Tobias are you okay?" He doesn't sound to good. "I'm fine Tris, what are you doing?" He tries to sound upbeat, but I know it's an act. "Oh well I'm off to a doctors appointment." "What is something wrong you or the baby?" His voice is full of panic. " I'm fine, I'm just finding out the gender." I say happily.
"Who are you going with?" He questions, "No one." I whisper, "Why didn't you say anything? I want to be involved remember Tris."
" I don't know, we've just been distant the last few days, I thought you didn't want to see me." I say sadly,
" Oh Tris, I'm would never ever do that. I'm coming now, be there in 5." The phone then goes silent.
I anxiously sit on the sofa for a while when I suddenly hear a car beep, I leave my house and find Four sitting in his truck. I quickly get in.
"Hey." He says as he leans over to kiss me. "We better get going otherwise were gonna be late." I say. As we drive, it is silent until Tobias speaks out. "Tris, I'm sorry for the last few days, it's just I've had a few problems with my dad, it's all good now, I promise I will be there now." I don't say anything but I just take his hand and squeeze it. I don't need to say anything.
Once were in the clinic waiting room, I start to feel nervous as other women and their partners are staring at Tobias and I. I could just imagine what they're thinking, but they don't really know my story. How can they judge me? It's a fault in human kind, we judge before we know all the parts of the story and I hate. I really hate it.
Tobias senses my anxiety so he squeezes my hand and gives off a death glare to all those staring at me, they all quickly drop their eyes and divert they're attention. I quickly whisper "Thank you." to him and in response he gives me a quick kiss on the forehead.
We wait another ten minutes before my name is called out. "Beatrice Prior." A nurse says, Tobias and I get up and go in direction of the doctors office.
I'm greeted by Leah, my doctor. She's dealt with my pregnancy all the way through but she's doesn't know my situation. I don't think I can trust anyone with it, I'm still not sure if I will tell Tobias yet and I love him with all my heart.
"Hello Tris, big day today. How you feeling?" She asks as I walk through the door, "I feel good." I smile, Four them walks through the door after me, Leah looks up in surprise. As I lay myself on the bed Leah says, " Ahhh, you must be the father." She smiles, I look at Tobias hesitantly, but he smiles back and comes over to hold my hand. "Yes, I'm the father, my names Four." He holds out his hand and Leah shakes it, "Very nice to meet you." Four gives a courteous nod.
I then look into his eyes, he's serious about being this baby's father. At the thought of not being alone, a tear runs down my face, but Tobias just wipes it away and strokes my cheek. "I love you so much." I whisper to him, " I love you too." He replies.
"Shall we start?" Leah asks, Tobias and I nod. I lift up my top, and Leah puts gel on my slightly swollen stomach, even at four months I'm not very big so I have escaped all the attention when it came to school. Nobody knew yet but that was all due to change.
"Right Tris, the baby looks all healthy. You wanted to know the gender didn't you?" I nod whilst still looking at my little miracle on the screen. "Well it looks like you have a beautiful baby... girl." A girl. I look at Tobias he has tears in his eyes as do I. "A girl, we have a girl." I whisper. Four leans down and kisses me lovingly on the lips, " I know and I'm going to protect you both with my life. I love you both so so much." I smile, and kiss Tobias again.
Leah prints off some pictures of our baby girl and gives us an appointment for in a months time. We both convey our thanks to her before we leave.
As we are sitting in the truck Tobias looks at his phone. "Is that the time? I'm so sorry Tris but I'm going to have to drop you to your house, my father wants me home." He says sadly, "Hey it's okay, I'm just thankful you're here with me." "I wouldn't have missed it for the world. My girls are all that I need in my life." I laugh, "Yeah we love you too Tobias." I say has I rest my hand on my stomach. Four begins to drive, he places one hand on the wheel and his other one on my stomach. I've never felt so safe.
After what the monster did to me I never thought I would feel secure ever again, but I was wrong Tobias has made me feel so safe and I couldn't be more thankful. What would I do without him?
Once we reach my house Tobias drops me off, but not before giving me and long passionate kiss. "I will talk to you later okay?" I nod before kissing his cheek, before I forget I give him a ultrasound picture. We say goodbye and I go inside.
When I go into the kitchen, I find my foster parents home. "How did it go?" My foster mum asks, "I'm having a baby girl." I squeal in excitement. Both my foster parents give me a hug before congratulating me. I then excuse myself and go to my room to nap.
A few hours later, I wake up to my phone ringing, I'm startled but then I look at my phone. It's 1am and Tobias is calling.
"Tris, h-help me, please." His voice is coarse, something's not right.
"Tobias where are you?" I ask frantically. "H-home. Please help." His voice is panicked but full of pain. "I'm coming, I'm coming." I quickly get out of bed. "Tobias can you hear me? I'm coming, I promise."
I get no reply.
