Chapter 14
Tris POV
We walk into the doctor clinic and Christina checks me in.
I sit down in the waiting room and feel my heart thumping out my chest.
I look around the room and see a couple of posters that don't make the situation any better.
'Have you had unprotected sex? Don't be stupid, WEAR A CONDOM!"
And:
"Only have unprotected sex if you want babies!"
I groan and see booklets on pregnancy that are free and grab them and put them in my bag.
Christina walks in and smiles at me.
I don't feel like smiling.
"Nervous?"
I nod.
"It's okay, Tris. Everything's going to be fine…."
"I hope so…."
Lynn walks in the room and calls my name.
"Tris?"
"Hey."
I stand up and Christina stands with me.
"Can i come in too?" She asks.
"Yeah that's fine."
I groan and with every step my heartbeat thumps louder and harder and then my mind flashes with a vision of Tobias.
I feel like my stomach is going to burst out my chest.
"Have a seat." Lynn directs me to a seat and Christina sits down and i sit in the chair beside her.
"So I'm pretty sure this is about you and Four and what you might be." Lynn says.
A strangled sound comes out and i nod.
"Okay so a normal pregnancy test would be too early and nothing would show up on an ultrasound so the only thing i can do a blood test."
"Okay." I whisper out.
While standing up and getting the needle ready she talks:
"Okay so you should get the results at end of the day so i can tell you tonight at the party."
I nod.
I yawn.
God i''m tired.
She sits down next to me and injects the needle in my top part of my arm but below my abnegation tattoo.
What would my mother and father think of me being pregnant at the age of 17.
This isn't about them it's about me.
I look down at the needle and it is filled with a maroon colour.
"Done."
She pulls it out of my arm and wipes it with a wipe and smiles down at me.
"I'll send this down to the pathology lab and see you tonight."
"Okay."
"Thanks Lynn." Christina hugs her and i do the same.
"Have you told Four yet?" Lynn asks.
"No i…i don't know how to…"
"I could tell him if you like." She offers.
"No thats okay thank you for the offer though.
"Okay then i see you guys later."
"Bye." Christina holds open the door for me.
"OH! Tris wait!"
She runs to her desk and pulls out a booklet.
She hands it to me.
'How to introduce your partner to pregnancy.'
''That should help."
"Thank you."
"Good luck Tris."
I nod and walk out.
(Fast forward time to like 2 hours)
Christina and I went shopping but i was so out of it.
Then Christina said she had to go and take care of some things.
So i decided to go home too.
I open to door to our apartment and look around for Four.
I walk into the kitchen, not there.
Lounge room, not there.
Bedroom, nope.
Bathroom, no sign.
"Four?!" I shout.
No answer.
What did Four say he was doing?….
Zeke!
I pick up the phone and dial his number.
8657-4672
"Hello?"
"Hey Zeke."
"Sup Tris?"
"Hey is Four there?"
"Yeah do you want him?"
"Oh no just wondering were he is thats all."
I hear a familiar voice in the background.
"Zeke who is it?"
Four.
"Okay i'll tell him you that your on the phone."
"No! No, thats fine umm but can you please tell him i went to the hospital."
"Sure thing….. But umm Tris is …everything okay?"
"Yup just peachy!"
"Okay then…."
"Bye Zeke!"
'Beep!'
I'm a terrible liar.
Now is a perfect time to read up on all the information.
I run and lock the front door and go to the bedroom and lock that door too.
I grab the booklet 'How to introduce your partner to pregnancy.'
I lay on the bed and feel like i have metallic gums and i think there bleeding too.
After about an hour of reading i finish that booklet and grab 'symptoms of pregnancy'
SYMPTOMS
Anxiety
Exhaustion
Sensitivity to smell
Bleeding gums
Cravings
Nausea
Metallic taste in mouth
Sore breasts
Oh no.
Anxiety. Yes.
Exhaustion. Yes.
Sensitivity to smell. Not sure.
Bleeding gums. Yes.
Cravings. Not really.
Nausea. Yes.
Metallic taste in mouth. Yes
Sore breasts.
I remember the other week of the Truth or dare when Four squeezed them and when we were kissing and squeezing them it hurt more than usual.
I feel them and it hurts when i press down on them and hurts more than usual.
Sore breasts. Yes.
Shit.
I hear the front door open.
Four.
My heart races and i grab the booklet and shove it under the pillow and run out.
I walk into the open living where Four stands.
He hasn't notices me yet.
He is frowning and has his arms crossed.
"Hey." I whisper.
He looks up at me and is still frowning.
"Hi."
The silence grows.
"How'd the doctors go?"
Shit! I haven't thought of what to say.
"Ummm…. Yeah i'm fine."
He looks at the big band-aid on my arm.
"What's that?" He points.
"I..I donated blood."
"Okay…"
I act like everything is fine.
"How was party planning?"
"Fine."
He walks over to the lounge but signals me to sit with him.
He sits over one side and me the opposite.
As far away from each other as we can.
"Hey…Tris?"
I'm getting anxious.
"Yeah?…."
"Are you-"
"I don't feel too good."
I need to vomit, now.
I stand up and run to the kitchen sink and it comes racing up.
I hear Four walk over and he awkwardly runs his hand down my back like he doesn't know how to touch.
I haven't eaten (Eaton!) In a while so now it's turning into bile.
Yellow and white liquid comes out.
"Oh my god Tris! Are you okay?"
It stops and i wait for a while and then wash it away and wash my face.
All i want to do is wrap my arms around him and just cry and keep crying.
I walk back over to the lounge and sit down.
On my way i grabbed a bowl just in case.
"Tris…I'm really worried…."
"About what?"
'Your having blood tests and your vomiting."
"And?"
"I know somethings going on Tris."
I groan and scowl at the ground.
"I know your sick."
"What's wrong?" He persists.
"Nothing i'm…I'm fine please don't worry."
"Of course i'll worry i mean you sick and having tests…What are the tests for?"
"I…I…" I stumble for words.
"Just tell me…"
Silence.
"Are you pregnant?"
Fuck.
I don't say yes or no but i look up at him.
His eyes stare me down and that look…That look is so caring and.. No.
"Look…look if you are….."
I burst into tears and he stops talking.
He shuffles towards me and wraps his arms around me.
I have longed for this for a week.
I lift my knees up and hug back.
He still hasn't said anything he just wraps tighter and stares at the ground.
"I'm…I'm so sorry!" I sob into his chest.
"Go in the shower and get ready." He finally says something.
His voice cold.
I do as he says and walk to the bathroom door and look back at him.
He's staring at the ground and hasn't moved.
I sob and close the door.
I get undressed and step into the shower.
I look at the floor and notice red liquid in-between my feet.
Blood.
Period.
Not pregnant.
"Fuck."
I step out of the shower and i get back into my clothes i had on before.
I open the door and see Four still sitting on lounge again.
But when he hears my footsteps he looks up at me.
But he doesn't look shocked or angry he looks... excited.
He stands up and walks over to me.
"Tris, Are you ok?"
I slowly nod.
"Ummm, please know that i want to be a father to this baby and i know i've given you plenty of reasons to think why i don't wanna have kids, but i want to be supportive and involved…"
"Tobias…"
"Look i'm not saying you have to, it's your choice but.."
"Thank you for offering but i'm not pregnant." I say.
"Oh…"
His face deflates
"It was a mistake and i'm sorry…"
"There's no need to apologise."
"I'm sorry i wish…i wish it never happened."
"You wish it never happened?"
Don't cry in front of him.
Right at that moment Uriah runs in and says:
"HURRY UP LET'S GO! PARTY RIGHT NOW!"
"No Uriah." Four says.
"I'M UNDER STRICT INSTRUCTIONS FROM ZEKE."
I wipe my eyes from tears and give in.
I need to get out of the house and talk to someone.
I stand up and walk out the door.
"Tris wait!" Four shouts.
I feel the tears rush down my cheeks i start to sprint.
I know Four is a very fast runner and i don't want him to catch me.
I don't know where to run.
Training room.
I hear footsteps gaining on me.
I sprint into the training room and it's empty.
I have key so i can lock it from the inside and the out side can't get in even if they have a key.
Perfect.
I lock it and look out the tiny window on the door.
Four's turned the corner and his eyes lock with mine.
He saw me.
"TRIS!" He bangs on the door.
I slide down the door and sob.
"Please…Tris… Let me in."
I shake my head even though he can't see me.
"Tris…." He sighs and walks away.
I sob a bit more and walk over to the punching bags.
I start punching.
Why can't I get my fucking life together?
I punch harder.
Vision flashes of me jumping into the net and seeing Four.
Seeing him leave during my fight.
The ferris wheel.
When he yelled at me for being scared in Lauren's fear landscape.
Our first kiss.
I punch harder.
When i slapped him in the face.
When we were on the train and i straddled him.
Our first time.
I punch harder and faster.
My knuckles trickle with blood.
How caring he was.
How he looked after me when it hurt.
He attentive he was.
I sob and fall to the ground.
Get up.
I stand up and walk out the door.
