Tris pov
The light from the window shines in my face, waking me up. I feel for Tobias but he isn't in bed. That's when I remember that he had started working Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 6-12. I start working Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 8-2. The paperwork in the office has piled up so they need us to be in more often.
I get up and walk to the dresser.
I pull out my favorite black jeans and start to put them on, but as soon as I hit my thighs, I can't get them up. I've been wearing these jeans for this past month and they have fit perfectly, and now they don't. I walk over to the mirror and scan over my body. My thighs and butt have definitely grown. Not a lot, but just enough. And resting between my hips is a hint of a bump.
I haven't really looked in the mirror lately, must be the abnegation in me, so I haven't really seen the bump. But ifs there. It's a firm bump between my hips. I search for some more flexible pants, deciding on black yoga pants, and a loose shirt.
I put my hair up and then start for my office. Since Tobias' office is across from mine, I stop in it before I go to mine. I walk in and find him looking at some papers. He looks like he's about to tell when he sees its me.
His face softens and he says,"oh, hey babe."
"Hey, are you too busy?"
"No, I'm never too busy for you."
"Good because you look stressed and I have something that will make you feel better."
"Really?"he asks me.
"Mmhmm,"I say and walk behind his desk to stand by him. I lift my shirt up to expose the small bump. I take his hands and place them on it. "Feel it?"
"Wow, that's amazing!"he says happily as he runs his hand over my stomach.
"There's a bump!" He says,"my baby is growing! Our baby is growing..." Wonder fills his eyes as he looks at the bump. I place my hands on top of his and rub circles with my thumb.
We are in our happy moment when Zeke runs in through the door and says,"Four! There's something-oh, sorry guys I didn't mean to interrupt anything."
Tobias takes his hands off my stomach and clears his throat. I put my shirt down and say,"it's okay, Zeke."
"Four, you need to come see this,"he says seriously.
"Okay," Tobias says getting up from his chair. He takes my hand and we follow Zeke. He leads us to the control room. We follow him to the computer he was sitting at and rewinds the footage.
"I was reviewing the footage from last night when I saw this,"he points to the screen as a dark figure lurks in the shadows. It comes out and throws a bottle between the guards. A smoke comes out as the bottle breaks and causes the guards to pass out.
"Someone must have logged into the control panel as me because I found this in my deleted pile. And I didn't delete this? I didn't even see it until now. I swear, Four!"
"It's okay, Zeke. I believe you," Tobias says to him,"I know you wouldn't do something like that."
"Thanks man."
"But now we need to know who did it? Who are the guards that were knocked out?"
"Um, let me check,"I say going to my office with them following me. I look through the papers on my desk until I find the list of Sunday night guards. "Shauna, Josh, and Daniel were scheduled for that section."
"I haven't seen Shauna today."
"What time was that dated at?" Tobias asks.
"It was 2:27 when it happened. It was deleted at 4:12. That's an hour before I come in."
"Let's check the footage of that area now."
When we look at that section we find all three guards still laying there. Zeke runs over to Shauna and shakes her. "Shauna!" She's breathing but she's still unconscious. He scoops her up and says,"we gotta get them to the hospital."
Tobias picks up Josh, and I go to get someone to help me with Daniel. Uriah is the first person I run into. He picks up Daniel with ease and then they all take to the hospital. I go to pick up their guns that they left.
I carry their heavy equipment to the training room. Then I go to the hospital. When Tobias sees me he says,"where did you go?"
"I couldn't let the guns just lay there on the ground fully loaded. So I picked them up and took them to the training room."
"Tris, you shouldn't be lifting heavy guns."
"Four, I'm pregnant, not sick. I'm fine," I say warningly.
He sighs and says,"I wish you wouldn't."
I sigh and he wraps his arms around me. I change the subject and say,"have they woken up yet?"
"They're working on it. This serum that was injected into their pores is something they have never seen before. So they aren't sure what to do."
"Oh."I say sadly.
That night Tobias sits at his desk on his laptop looking over the video. "Tris! Come here!" He says.
I get up from my spot on the couch and stand behind him looking at the screen. He points to the screen and says,"whoever this is, it's a girl with a scar on her jawline."
"How do you know it's a girl?" I question.
"Look when she steps out of the shadows for a second, even though she is obviously trying to be dressed as a guy, her face shape gives it away. And when I pause it right here, you can see her shape as the coat opens up just enough. See? Then when I pause it right there, you can see in her shadow the feminism in her hips and legs."
"I see,"I say.
I sit on his lap and shut the laptop. I wrap my arms around him and say,"why don't you relax for a moment?"I say and kiss him. He relaxes into my kiss and rubs his hands up and down my back. I start to take off his shirt and kiss his chest, when there's a knock on the door.
I groan, but I get up from his lap and answer the door.
Zeke stands there looking worried and sick,"you need to come to the hospital, now."
