Chapter 24

Tris POV

"I'm pregnant."

What?!

Christina pregnant?

That's something good, so why is she sad?

"What?!" I shout.

"Shhhh! Don't tell anyone!"

I'm flooded by shock and questions.

"Why are you only just telling me now?! How many weeks are you?! When did find out?!" My mouth is like a floodgate that has just opened.

"Shhh… Calm down. I found out like exact day you found you were having twins and-" I don't let her finish.

"What! Why didn't you tell me!?"

"I didn't want to ruin your news." She looks toward the chasm again.

"What!? I wouldn't of cared! Christina, you're my best friend. I don't care. It's great news. We can do this together." I grab her hand.

She groans and looks at me.

She slightly smiles and i see a tear roll down her cheek.

She begins to sob.

"Hey? What's wrong? It's alright." I pull her in for a hug.

"Will do…esn't w…wwwant any k…ids." She sobs.

"Hey it's okay. We'll work this out."

She sobs for a few more minutes and i notice she hasn't answer one of my questions.

"How many weeks?" I softly say.

She waits a while then takes a deep breath.

"10."

"What?! Oh my gosh Christina! 10 weeks and you tell me now!? Why?" I can't believe it.

"Tris! I…I…" Her bottom lip threatens.

"I understand. It's okay." I comfort.

She wipes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

"How do i look?" She asks.

I remember i asked Tobias the same thing during fear simulations.

"Tough as nails." I say.

She smiles.

"Tris?"

"Yeah?"

"Please don't tell anyone. Not even Four."

"Secret safe with me, Candor." I respond.

"Alright, Stiff"

"Lets go. Act normal."

"I'll try." She sighs.

"Come on pregnant buddy." I joke.

On the way back to the table we quickly grab a blueberry muffin with a dab of tomato sauce on top because we were craving. Pregnancy issue. Shut up.

Christina quickly chews the tomato sauce affected areas, while i leave it till we get back.

I throw my leg over the bench and lace my fingers in-between Tobias'.

I suddenly get the urge to say:

"I just wanted to let you know, I love you." I whisper into Tobias' ear.

He looks at me with one eyebrow raised and lips pouted.

"What's wrong with you?" He stirs.

"Shut up." I turn my head back to the gang and i only just realise that they stopped talking and are staring at the two of us.

They look expectantly.

"What?" Tobias asks.

"We were hoping to see a little action. " Uriah honestly answers.

Then i hear a familiar, crude voice that i would of wanted to never hear again. Peter.

He stalks around and stands facing me behind Uriah and Lynn.

"Yeah, you know maybe a bit of tongue? Boob grabbing? Or maybe just getting it off right here? You must be good at that, Slut. A little birdie told me our instructor, your boyfriend sorry, knocked you up and got you pregnant."

"Fuck off." I mumble.

"Ohhhhh! Feisty mama! Don't go into early labour." Peter exclaims.

"She said, fuck off, Peter." Shaunna speaks up. "So, Fuck. Off." She stands and faces him.

I look at Tobias and i see a storm brewing.

"Oh so what now the stiff can't even protect herself?"

"Walk away now." Lynn says slowly while standing.

She turns to face him, she pulls out her pocket knife and stabs it into wooden table.

"And nobody gets hurt." She continues.

"Hey now, violence never solved anything. I just came to talk."

"Yeah right Peter. What do you want?" Will grumbles.

I wonder does Will know that he is an expectant father?

Wait, it is Will right?

I hope so.

I glance over at Chris and she is biting her fingernail and glaring at Peter.

"I just wanted to congratulate Four and Tris on conceiving a deranged child together. So congratulations."

"What the fuck did you just say?!" Tobias yells.

He stands up and lobs his legs over the bench and strides over to Peter.

"What the fuck! Did you just say!?" He shouts even louder.

It is a deafening sound and a vicious sight.

The usual rowdy, loud cafeteria comes to a silence and all eyes watch.

I put my head in my hands.

Don't do anything stupid. Please don't do anything stupid.

Peter whimpers and cowers into a shell.

"Deranged child?" Tobias scowls.

He smothers Peter with his bigger frame.

"You asshole!" He shouts as he strikes Peter in the cheek.

I feel my scream leave my throat and gasps fill the air.

"Four!" I shout.

Panic rises in my gut as Peter retaliates and punches a blow to Tobias' eyebrow, it only narrowly misses his temple.

I throw my body out of the table and stand.

But my knees are too weak with fear and my head is spinning.

I begin to sprint towards Tobias but my knees collapse and i fall to my knees.

My knees slam against the concrete and i hear 2 screams and a familiar deep shout.

The last thing i see are his deep, blue eyes rushing towards me.

I feel a bang and,

I'm out.

Gahhh! I didn't even plan for this to happen! So what do you think? Christina's 10 weeks pregnant, Peter's a pig, Tobias is protective yet violent (respectively) & Tris is unconscious. How much drama could you want? Make sure you review, Fav and follow. Keep reading to find out what happens!
