Chapter 25

Tris POV

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 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.

"Are you ready Tris?" An unfamiliar voice asks.

I see nothing but darkness.

"Welcome back Tris." The unfamiliar, comforting voice greets.

The lights lift and sting my closed eyes.

I hear nothing.

After a while i hear some grumbles and shuffling.

I open my eyes.

White.

That is all i see.

My eyes adjust.

"Tris!" A voice shouts.

I look around.

I'm in a hospital.

I don't remember getting here.

"She's awake!"

2 woman rush toward me.

Christina and Marlene.

Their arms erupt and fumble for my body.

"You're alive." Christina sighs.

Marlene presses a button above my head.

"How are you feeling?" Marlene asks.

"I don't know." A tight, weak voice comes from somewhere.

That's me.

What happened? Why am i here?

I sit up and see more bodies.

Lynn, Uriah & Shaunna all leaning up against each other sleeping.

Zeke is stretched across the small couch.

And the most comforting face, Tobias, sitting up asleep in the chair.

His face is passive, but i notice something else, he has a bruised cheek, cut lip and a small bandage on his right eyebrow.

"Tobias!" I shout.

He begins to stir and his eyes flutter open.

"Tobias!" I repeat.

His eyes lock onto mine and shock hits him.

"Tris!"

He rushes towards me and his arms wrap my whole body.

"You're okay."

He pulls back and looks at me.

Tears stream down my cheeks and tears fill his eyes.

"I love you, Tris." He says as he reaches for my cheek.

"I love you too." I respond shakily.

Our lips collide and i pull his body closer to mine.

After a while of being like that, a new voice begins.

"So Tris, you must be feeling better." A woman in white enters the room.

I shuffle over to the other side of bed but i notice my body aches and a pain in my legs.

Tobias sits down next to me and grips my hand as tight as he can.

I nod.

"Hello, i'm your doctor, Eliza Jackson."

"Hello." I softly say.

I feel a movement in my stomach and remember.

"Are the babies okay?!" I cry.

"Yes Tris, they're fine." Tobias mutters as he squeezes my hand.

My body swamps with relief.

"In fact, they've never been better. They were having a jolly good time, somersaults and all." Dr. Jackson states.

I grin and feel a giggle come over me.

"Thats good." I whisper.

I take a deep breath and rub my enlarged stomach.

"Your partner here has been pretty worried about you, You worried everyone."

I look up at Tobias and he grins and nods at me.

I feel questions flood me.

"How long have i been out?" I ask.

"Three days." Dr. Jackson answers.

Three days. Wow.

By now the whole gang surrounds my bed.

I notice that they are all wearing the same clothes as the last time i saw them.

"Hey guys."

Everyone greets and smiles at me.

"Well, i'll leave you to your catching up but after that-" She turns to face my friends.

"I'll have to ask you to please leave, so Tris can get some rest."

The gang nods in agreement and Chris grins widely at me.

I wonder if she has told everyone.

Tobias squeezes my hand and i wonder if thats means him too.

Dr. Jackson turns back towards me and says:

"Then we'll discuss what will happened, when you get released and any other questions. Okay?" She smiles reassuringly.

"Okay, but can Tobias stay in here with me?" I ask.

She purses her lips tightly.

"For comfort." I convince.

"Well you will be staying here the night so he can stay here with you. I will bring in some more bed linen and he can sleep on the couch." She agrees.

I nod and she leaves the room.

Christina walks forward first and hugs me.

"I'm so glad you're okay."

Tobias stands up and walks out to Dr. Jackson.

I can't tell what their saying but they must be referring to me by their glances and hand gestures.

"Me too." I idly answer.

"I told them" She whispers.

"Really?" I whisper shout.

She nods and grins so they must of taken it well.

"I'll talk to you later, get some rest."

Next is Will.

"Feeling better?" He asks.

"Yeah, Hey." I put my hand on his shoulder.

"Congratulations." I say.

He grins and nods.

"Thanks. Get better."

Chris waves to me and they walk out.

Tobias walks back and smiles reassuring at me and walks over to talk to Zeke.

"Hey Tris." Shaunna greets with Lynn by her side.

"Don't worry, we kicked Peter ass." Lynn remarks.

I laugh.

But why?

"That makes me feel better." I joke.

"Alright well we better go.'

"Alright see ya." I farewell.

Marlene squeezes the air out of me with her hug.

"Can't. Breathe." I sigh.

"Whoops, Sorry." Marlene apologises.

"God Mar, i think she's had enough death scares for the week." Uriah comments.

"Hey Uri."

"How ya feeling?" He asks.

"Good."

He looks over his shoulder at a hovering Dr. Jackson at the door.

"Argh, she has been so boooooring."

I laugh at his expression.

"She's just jealous about the awesome friends i have."

Marlene giggles.

"Thanks Tris. Come on Uriah." Marlene says.

"Alright See ya Tris." Uriah calls from across as Marlene pulls him out.

"Hey darling, how ya feeling?" Zeke endears.

"Darling?" I inquire.

"Well, i am your fiancé's best man." He bows with his arm rolling.

I chuckle.

"Unfortunately, yes." Tobias speaks up.

Tobias sits down on the edge of the bed.

"Hey! Well i am your BFF!" Zeke states.

"Yeah i guess you are." Tobias mutters.

"You know you love me." Zeke puts his hand to his heart.

We all laugh.

"You should of seen this bloke, Tris," Zeke refers to Tobias. "He was a blubbering baby.'

"Was not!" Tobias pouts.

"Was too!"

"Right thats it." Tobias states.

He grabs Zeke by the shoulders and tackles him to the ground.

They grunt and at one point Zeke yelps.

I laugh uncontrollably.

A nurse with purple hair and three rings in her eyebrow walks by and shouts:

"Hey hey hey! No violence in a hospital!"

"Don't worry they mean well." I say between laughs.

"I don't care!"

The 'boys' stand up and brush themselves off.

The nurse walks off and we snicker.

"Well, i better be off."

Zeke walks over and hugs me and plants a friendly kiss on my cheek.

"Ohhh you're feeling affectionate are we?" I ask.

"Friends." He flings his arms up.

"Might have to get Tobias to kick your ass for that. Plus i am pregnant with his children so it's a bit late for second thoughts. Although…" I tease.

"Ha-ha." Tobias rolls his eyes.

We laugh.

I sit up.

"Come here." I summon.

Tobias shuffles forward and i wrap my small, stubby arms around his broad body.

"Nah, I like him, he'll do though until i find better." I joke.

Tobias scoffs.

"Well then…" He plays along.

"Just kidding, I adore you." I give him a peck on his cheek.

"No, i think i've kicked Zeke's ass enough today." Tobias states.

"I think so." He agrees.

"Well," Zeke sighs. "I better head off or otherwise i'm going to vomiting because of how perfect your relationship is."

We laugh.

If only he knew about how our relationship is so not perfect at times.

"Get well." And he walks out the door.

Now it's Tobias and I.

"So…" I stretch out my limbs.

"How are you feeling?" Tobias grabs my hand.

"Well i have been asked that about 6 times today but, i feel better that you said it."

He scoffs.

I move over.

"Here, lay down" I suggest.

He lays down next to me and puts his hand to my stomach.

"Felt any more kicks?" He asks.

"No, but i have felt a few somersaults."

He sighs with a smile.

"They did an ultrasound. They're fine."

"So, i've been out for 3 days straight?"

"Yup. They thought you were going to wake up a couple of hours after the accident but you didn't want to."

"Well, you know how stubborn i am." I joke.

"Yeah, i know first hand." He smiles as he rolls his eyes.

"They had to give you a few drugs for you and the babies and at one point had to have you on a monitor with life-support on hand, just in case, Tris, I was so scared, i thought you weren't going to wake up." His voice breaks.

"I'm sorry." I rest my forehead on his.

I close my eyes.

We breathe the same air and we look at the same thing, each other, us, we are the same being, but in 2 different forms.

"No, i'm sorry." Tobias whispers.

"Why?"

"It's my fault."

And then i realise i don't even know what happened.

I remember Peter was there and was saying stuff but i can't remember anything past that.

"What happened?" I ask.

"We were in the cafeteria eating brunch when Peter came over. He came over to congratulate us on our 'deranged' child, of course i got a little provoked and retaliated, i punched him and he punched back and…" He stops.

I exhale.

"So what does this have to do with me?" I ask.

"You panicked and got up to stop me and as you ran over to me, your knees collapsed and on the way down you hit your head pretty hard on a table and you fell unconscious. You also hairline fractured your ankle."

"Shit." I whisper under my breath.

"Yeah, so that's why i'm sorry. But we can talk about your injuries tomorrow."

"Okay, and so that also explains why your face is bruised and bandaged."

He nods.

"Yeah."

"Did the babies get touched?" I ask.

"No, luckily I got there in time to protect your stomach. I was able to dive my hands underneath you so i sorta of caught you but you still hit your head."

"You're our hero." I say as i embrace him.

I place my head on his slow beating heart and use that as my rhythm to fall asleep.

"I love you and our unborn babies to the moon and back." He gently whispers.

Shock hits me.

That's what my mother used to say to us when she would tuck Caleb and I into bed.

I feel a pang of longing but then i realise that all i need is him, he is my everything.

"Get some sleep." He whispers as he caress my hair.

His voice is the last thing i hear.
