Chapter 14
I wake and rush to the bathroom with a dreadful feeling of nausea ache through my body. I slam open the lid of the toilet, then immediately start toughing up. My knees sink to the group, almost as if the energy from in them has left my body. With my head over the toilet, I feel a large hand on my back, and the other pulling my hair out of my face. Tobias. He sits down beside me on the floor still gripping my hair.
"Can I have a turn?" He smiles and kisses me on the forehead. His eyes are bloodshot, obliviously a dreadful hangover. I laugh and slowly get up.
"Have at it." I walk out into the bedroom and collapse on our bed. I don't like to see Tobias sick but I feel so much better now that that's out of my system.
Tobias half walks half stumbles out of the bathroom, then comes to lay on the bed next to me.
"You look like you drank a little too much."
"Yeah. I barely remember past the first couple bears." He puts his head on my shoulder.
"I guess I'm just excited for the baby."
"Me too…you don't remember anything that happened last night?"
His eyes widen and look up at me.
"Tris… what happened?" He looks concerned.
"You basically told everyone about the baby."
"What? Now I won't even remember their faces. I'm sorry Tris."
"I know you are. You didn't mean it. They were all…shocked."
"And…Evelyn was there." He squints his eyes a looks away as if he's seen a bad picture.
"Yeah. She was too socked to say anything. Christina and Zeke were happy though."
"I'll never live this one down."
I hear I knock on the door then glance over at Tobias. Too tired to even acknowledge that someone is at the door.
"I'll get it."
I walk to the door in my pajamas. Seems to be the trend lately. Without checking the peephole I open the door. Caleb.
"Tris! What the hell?!" He yells. Then walks right inside.
"Caleb! Calm down!"
"No! I'm not calming down! Tris, you are pregnant and barely seventeen years old! Where is Tobias?! I have a bone to pick with him."
"Caleb! That is none of you business. I'm-."
"I'm right here." Tobias stands in the doorway separating the hall from the living room.
"How could you do this to her!"
"Do this to her?! How could you almost get her killed?! Care to explain that one!?"
Both of them yell back and forth. My blood starts rushing to my head. My stomach ties in a knot. My knees buckle beneath me and I fall.
Black.
Tobias POV:
I yell back and fourth to Caleb then glance over at Tris. She's passed out on the floor. My heart drops.
"Tris! Oh my God!" I run over to her and pick her up and lay her across my arms.
"Is she okay?!" Caleb yells, starting to panic.
"Caleb! Get the door!" He runs over to the apartment door and opens it.
I run down the street with Tris in my arms. This can't be good. Pregnant women don't randomly faint…do they? No. This isn't normal. Caleb paces beside me. As I approach the hospital, Caleb is out of breath. What a wimp. Tobias! This is no time hate on Caleb!
Caleb grabs the door and I burst in.
"Help! She fainted and won't wake up!" I bunch of nurses come toward me with a stretcher and I gently lay her upon it.
"Sir, are you family?"
I act on instinct.
"Yes! I'm her husband."
"I'm her brother!" Chimes in Caleb.
"Okay. But both of you will need to stay here!" We follow the nurse through the doors.
"She's pregnant!" I yell as they race down the hall. The nurse looks back and nods. I just want them to be cautious of my baby…and my Tris.
Caleb and I sit down in the waiting room and my eyes start to get heavy. No more drinking for me.
"It's just…She's my baby sister."
"I know." I feel guilty for a moment. Maybe Tris is too young. Most people have kids around eighteen to twenty. She's a little young, but she's strong. Worry drifts over me. What if the baby dies? A tear streams down my face. I don't usually cry. I guess all this going on lately is finally getting to me. I wipe my face and straiten up. Be strong, Tobias. You are the man of the house. A nurse walks out to see us. Caleb and I both immediately stand up.
"She's awake now. I think the pregnancy may have taken its toll, and possibly a large amount of stress, but the baby is fine."
That sounds about right, pregnancy, kidnapping, rape, and a wedding coming up. That'll do something to a person.
"Okay. When can we see her?"
"You can go in now. Follow me."
We follow her down a long hall then turn into the room.
"We think her pregnancy may be more advanced then just a couple of weeks, maybe 10 weeks or so. Time to see a doctor."
Ten weeks! When did we even…Oh. The couch, the hotel room. Her tattoo. Oh.
I nod and Caleb frowns and anger grows in his eyes. Then he pushes it out.
I walk over to Tris and grab her hand.
"Tris? Baby, are you awake?" She slowly opens her eyes.
"Is the baby ok?"
I smile.
"Yes." Then I kiss her on her forehead. She smiles, I smile.
Hey Everyone! I just wanted to sincerelythank you for all the nice comments and feedback I've been getting. This is the story that has been running through my head. The problem is just getting it from my mind to you. I apologize that it has been a couple days since I've posted. School started this week, and it's been busy (BTW: I'm in high school, if you were wondering). I know this chapter isn't really important to the plot, but I wanted to do a Tobias POV (hope you enjoyed. Feedback please?) and I needed a little more of Caleb. Please tell me some things you would like to see in my story? Baby names? Gender? Christina's baby? Jason? Damon? Tell me, please! I love hearing from you guys. Love you guys! XOXO ~Rebecca
