Tobias' POV

My eyes meet Tris' beautiful gray eyes. Her eyes are open!

She's awake!

"You're awake" I whisper, and a grin spreads wide across my face.

She doesn't respond, but instead nods her head as tears fall down her face.

I crush her in a hug, and soon were both crying. But these aren't tears of pain, loss, or suffering.

We're crying tears of joy.

Tris' POV

He crushes me in a hug, and we cry together. I pull back and kiss him passionately.

I am the first to pull away, but we keep our foreheads together.

"I've missed you." He whispers as he looks me straight in the eye.

His eyes. Oh, how I've missed those eyes. Beautiful, caring, and full of love. The eyes that can see into my soul.

I laugh and more tears fall from my eyes.

He wipes them away as I respond, "I've missed you too. You woke me up, you know. It was just as you explained how I took you out of the simulation during the war. I was in darkness, but then I heard your voice, and you pulled me back. You saved me."

As soon as the last word leaves my mouth, his lips are crashing onto mine. This time, I don't pull back. The kiss deepens until we hear the door open. Someone clears their throat, and Tobias jumps away.

I look past Tobias and see Christina. She has tears streaming down her cheeks, as well.

I can't even imagine what the Dauntless would say if they saw us like this.

Christina runs over to my bed and hugs me.

"I've missed you so much," she says into my ear "almost as much as Four."

I look over her shoulder at Tobias, and see him already watching me.

I love you he mouths, and I blush and smile.

I love you, too I mouth back. He smiles at me.

Christina pulls back and turns to face Tobias. "Do the doctors know she's awake?"

Tobias groans and stands up. "I'll go tell them now."

Before he leaves, I look at him for the first time. He's obviously lost a lot of weight, and hasn't shaven in a while. His hair has grown out of the short Abnegation cut he usually has. Worst of all, he has dark circles under his eyes. I wonder when he last slept.

After Tobias shuts the door behind him, Christina sits in his chair.

"When was the last time he slept? Or ate? Or shaved?" I ask, "Has he even left the hospital?"

Christina shakes her head. "I tried, I really did. I got him to eat a bit everyday and change his clothes. It's been 3 days since I last caught him sleeping. But he hasn't left your side, except for when you had surgery or he was changing."

"How long have I been in the hospital?" I ask. But all that's running through my head is 3 DAYS. HE HASN'T SLEPT IN 3 DAYS.

"13 days. Caleb followed you into the weapons lab after he heard the gun shots, and carried you out. We came back from the city the next day, and you were already in a coma." she says.

I start to panic. "But what about the death serum?" I say. "Is Caleb OK?!"

"Caleb? Oh, yeah he's fine. The death serum wasn't very strong in the air by then. He was in the hospital for a few days until the poison cleared out of his system. He's fine now."

I take a deep breath and lean back into the hospital bed. "Good."

Tobias' POV

I walk through the halls blindly until I find a nurse. I tap her on the shoulder.

"My girlfriend just woke up in room 556. I was supposed to tell the doctor when she woke up but I can't find him and I never caught his name..."

She smiles at me.

"Don't worry. I'll go talk to the nurse at the front desk. The doctor should be there soon."

"Thank you" I say, and head back to the room.

After taking a few turns, I realize I have no idea where I'm going. I walk past room 504, 505, 506. I reach a cross-way in the hall and go straight. Suddenly, the doors are saying 532, 533, 534. I wonder around aimlessly for a few minutes until I literally bump into Tris' doctor.

"Hello, Tobias." He says. I wince. Everyone knows my name now, but most people still call me Four. Hearing my name still causes me pain, unless it's coming from Tris' mouth.

"Hello." I say. It's strange to speak like an Abnegation again, it seems so... formal. "Tris woke up. I was just coming to tell you... well I was actually going back to the room but I got lost."

He laughs. "I'm just going there now. I'll show you where to go."

He starts walking in the opposite direction. We are both silent.

After a minute, he speaks up. "Have you told her yet?"

The baby. With the excitement of Tris waking up, I had completely forgotten. I shake my head. He sighs.

"Someone has to tell her. I can, but... It would probably be better coming from you."

I look at him.

"I'll tell her. I will. I just... I think I need some time to figure out how to. I need to think."

He nods in understanding.

"Of course," he says, "but sometimes it's better to not think about it. Sometimes it's better to just tell the truth. You can do whatever you like, but someone must tell her. And the sooner the better."

He opens the door to Tris' room.

He's right. This is why I'm Dauntless. I need to be brave.

I take a deep breath, and step into the room. The doctor checks on Tris and asks her some questions. After about 5 minutes, he says to both of us,

"If you're feeling any dizziness or pain, call a nurse. I'll come check on you tomorrow, and maybe we can talk about your release date."

He walks out. I turn to Christina.

"Can we have a minute alone? I need to talk to Tris."

She nods and walks out.

"Are you OK?" Tris asks.

I pull up a chair and sit next to her, just as I did when she was unconscious, when I thought she might not wake up. I hold onto her hand and look into her eyes.

"I have something to tell you."
