Chapter 3
Tris:
Immediately after I tell her I'm pregnant I see conflicting emotions cross her face. First joy, then sadness, and finally anger.
"I'm going to fucking kill him," She growls "and he won't find you! You and your little baby are going to stay with me!"
"Christina, I don't think that i-" this time she cuts me off
"I lost you once and now I have you back," she says sternly, then softly "I'm not going to lose you again."
"Chrissy" I start apprehensively
"Trissy" she replies sternly
"I'll stay." I tell her, giving in "But, if he finds me you have to pretend the baby is yours, and DO NOT come after me!" She looks at me for a moment before sighing.
"Fine" she relents "Now, how far along are you?"
"Around twelve weeks." I tell her "I was trying to hide it until my birthday so I could legally leave but Peter, he, you know, and said I was gaining weight. So I had to leave before he figured out the real reason my size is changing."
"You need an appointment" Christina tells me
"Absolutely not!" I say backing away from her
"It doesn't have to be on record" she reassures me "I know a doctor who will take us in off of records so you can get your baby checked, get tips on dealing with pregnancy and she also might be able to help you with your scars."
"I don't know" I reply
"I'll take care of you! I'm not letting just anyone take care of my best friend" she says pretending to be offended
She leads me to a four car garage and into a yellow Volkswagen Bug. We drive for about a half hour (while listening to music) until we arrive at a small hospital. We get out of the car and go inside. Christina immediately walks up to the receptionist.
"Can we please talk to Tori" Christina says politely. The lady looks at her suspiciously. "Can you at least tell her that Christina is here" the lady nods and goes to tell her while we wait. When she gets back she motions to us to follow her and she leads us to an office. When we get there I see a woman who looks like she is in her mid to late twenties. She has long black hair, dark eyes and a kind, motherly smile. I can't help but like her. She immediately gets up and hugs Christina.
"What brings you girls here today?" she asks us. Christina looks at me expectantly and I take a deep breath.
"Can we go to an examination room?" I ask
"Sure!" Tori replies and lead us into the room across the hall. As soon as we get in there I start shaking.
"We need your help," Christina says once Tori closes the door,"but you have to promise it won't be on records."
"Of course," Tori replies "and I don't expect explanations. I know how hard they can be." With that sentence I know that I can trust her. Maybe with my whole story one day. I look at Tori and tell her
"I'm pregnant, I think around twelve weeks. You can slightly see my bump and I am throwing up usually every other day. I am not fed well so when I do eat I can't keep it down, I also need you to look at cuts and burns an maybe help me with scars."
"Alright then, lets get started." Tori says, looking at me and smiling
* time passes *
Three hours later Christina and I leave the small hospital with several bags and fully instructed on pregnancy, preparing for a baby, my new diet, and treating my injuries. Tori gave me several medicines to help me through my pregnancy, seven boxes of bars that will help me gain weight and pills to take before every meal to help me keep the food down. Lastly, she gave me cream for my burns, a special kind of neosporin for my cuts, and twenty rolls of bandages that I have to change three times a day.
"Wow" Christina says and whistles once we get to the car with the bags "That is a lot of stuff to remember! Good thing I had the foresight to record it all on my handy dandy iPhone. Now we can listen to it when we get home!"
"Nooooooooo!" I practically yell, purposefully acting like a little girl "I don't wanna."
"Oh come on Trissy Poo! I we are going to be parents we have to do it right!" Chrissy scolds me
"I'm the one having the baby here!" I holler "But, thank you, for being here for me. It's been a while."
"Tris, I'll always be here for you." Christina says lovingly "now enough with this mushy gooey stuff. I really want to take you shopping...but I won't right now. I will give you three days max until we go."
"Fine." I say, knowing that if Christina hasn't changed I will be going wether I want to or not.
"There is one other thing Tris" Christina says hesitantly "I kind of have two other girls that I'm living with right now. And they will be get there when we get back because it is six. I'm sure you'll like them and they won't ask questions and -"
"I'm sure I'll like them if you do." I say reassuringly. After that Christina sighs and turns on the radio as morph into a comfortable silence.
* 15 minutes passes *
We pull into the garage and there are three other cars. A black Range Rover Sport, a silver Mercedes, and a black pickup truck.
"Hey guys, we're home!" Christina yells as we step into the living room
"Who's we?" I hear someone ask as I are two girls. The one on the left has blonde hair with striking facial features and the one on the left has dirty blonde hair and a carefree smile.
"Well, I'm Christina and this is Tris. She is going to be staying with us!"
"Cool, I'm Shauna" says the girl on the left
"And I'm Marlene" says the girl on the right
"And I'm Uriah and I want some pizza." I hear a male voice say from behind me
AN: sorry the timing has been vague, the bus ride started at 9 and Tris got to Christina's around 8:30. Tris woke up at 3 and the appointment with Tori started at 5.
