Tobias POV
It's been weeks since Tris and I got sent home from hospital, my back is sore still but it's bearable, Tris on the other hand has been ill as pregnancy takes it toll on her fragile body. She's just gone 6 months and the other day our little girl kicked for the first time, it's safe to say Tris cried a lot and I was just sat there in awe.
Living with Tris and her foster parents has been amazing, the only condition is that we have to stay in separate rooms, I know I shouldn't disobey them but sometimes during the night I sneak into Tris' room or she sneaks into mine. We both get nightmares from the night Marcus attacked us, so we fight the nightmares of together - it's the only way.
However one thing is getting to me. My daughter. I would do anything for her and I've not even heard her soft gentle cry yet but the thing is I don't even know who her real father is. Tris said she would tell me one day and I feel today is that day. So I walk down the stairs and find Tris sitting on sofa shovelling ice cream into her face whilst watching a chick flick.
"Typical girl or what?" I laugh, "Shut up, I'm pregnant." She giggles back, damn I hate to ruin the moment. "Yeah Tris about that." I hesitate.
Tris turns the tv down and turns to look at me, "Tobias if your having second thoughts just tell me." I'm shocked she thinks I would leave her now. I could never. I quickly sit on the sofa next to Tris, "God no Tris I would never, it's just I want to know something." "What?" She quickly replies.
"Who's her father?" Tris' face instantly pales and she manages to let out "You." I sigh. "Tris you know what I'm talking about." She places the ice cream on the floor and stares down at her bump.
"Peter." She whispers, " Peter who was in our year?" She weakly nods, "Tris you said I didn't know him." I say "Yeah well after he got sent to prison I wiped him out of my memory, it hurt to much."
I remember Peter, he was a snitch and horrible person. He walked the hallways at school and terrorised everyone. You could tell he was dodgy, he was sent to a youth detention centre 5 months ago for attacking some kid called Edward in our year. The poor guy was stabbed in the eye, he moved school with his girlfriend Myra after that and to be honest I don't blame him.
"Tris what did he do to you?" I take her hand to give her some reassurance, she swallows and a tear edges down her cheek.
"I was walking home from Christina's house, it was dark but I was not that far from home, I knew someone was following me but he was far back so I just walked quickly. I thought I was being paranoid, but when I looked back I saw the person had caught up. I tried running but he chased me now, and pushed me into an alley."
I swallowed, because I knew what was coming, I knew what she was going to say.
"I then realised it was Peter, he smirked at me and held me against the wall. I tried screaming but he hit me. He then-" She pauses as she chokes back a tear,
"Shhhh, take your time." I say as I rub her shoulder,
"He then pulled down my trousers, I tried to stop him Tobias, I tried so hard to stop him, but he wouldn't. He was laughing all the way through. A-and then he left me in the alley. I rang Christina, she came and helped me but she couldn't do anything to help me, no one could. I hate him. I hate him, I hate him, I hate him!" She screams,
I take her into my arms and hold her tightly against my chest, the anger rising inside is uncontrollable but I have to suppress it for Tris, because if Peter wasn't locked up, I would be breaking his arms right now.
"I'm sorry Tris and I'm sorry I couldn't stop him, but you know what? I'm here for you now, so I swear, nothing, and I mean nothing is going to hurt you or our little girl."
"But Tobias, I keep thinking, what if she turns out like him? She half Peter. My baby is half of that monster, I want to love her and I do, but knowing he's in there somewhere. I don't want to think of her like that but sometimes I do and it kills me." She says as retreats her face into the crook of my neck,
" Beatrice Prior, She will be perfect, she will be a princess. She will have a beautiful face that resembles that of her mothers. That little girl will be best human she can be, because we will raise her that way. I promise."
"Promise?" She asks weakly,
"Promise." I reply with no hesitation because that little girl is going to be our world.
A/N Sorry again for the wait but my Four book collection arrived and I kinda got a bit into it aha! I would love for you to review, and if anyone guesses the baby's name they get a mention in the next chapter, clue it begins with 'L', have a good day!
