**I DO NOT OWN DIVERGENT SERIES

Chapter 23

Tris POV:
I wake up in my temporary home, Christina and Mathew's apartment. They are still asleep. They seem to be in love but Christina says she doesn't want to marry him. It's "too traditional" for her taste. She is twenty weeks pregnant and I'm fifteen weeks. My belly is the same size as Christina's, if not bigger.

It's been a month since Tobias left. I thought he would have called or something by now. I've been worried sick the past couple days, literally. I don't know if it's from the baby or me worrying so much. My toes start to tingle. I know I'm about to go do something stupid. Find Tobias. He always finds me now I can go find him.

I slip on an old dauntless tank top, my jacket and some black pants that still mange to fit. Then, I slip on my boots and slide a pocketknife in my boot then tuck my gun under my jacket.

I tip toe through the living room to try to slip out of the apartment without anyone noticing. I make my way down the stairs and my breath is already diminishing, the babies are pushing on my lungs but I push through and try to not think about it.

I walk down the sidewalk and find my way to the car garage. Christina will know where I am and a truck will be easily noticed. I'm just going to have to walk then I'll find Tobias. It will be worth the walk.

Tobias POV:

"Zeke?" Amar is concerned.

"I looked on the computer." I shake my head.

Amar falls against the truck like he had just taken a blow to the stomach, I look down and focus my eyes on some grass and try to get Zeke's face out of my mind.

"We need to go home. I need to see Tris."

He nods his head and we both jump in the car a head home. It's a four-hour drive so we need to hurry in hopes of getting home before sundown.

Tris POV:

I've been walking for hours and I still haven't even reached the fence that separates what used to be the unknown and our old home, the city of factions. My legs are already aching and I'm starving. I really didn't think this through.

As I walk on my lips start to run dry from the relentless heat, I'm starving and my legs are weak but I've been in worse situations.

I stop to rest so I sit down in the grass. My legs are aching so I pull up my pants leg. There are purple bruises all over my ankles from me carrying the babies and walking for so long. I finally make my way up but the sun is so hot and legs hurt so badly. Millions of tiny black dots start to take over my vision. I'm fainting. Dark.

Tobias POV:

I can't wait to see Tris and our babies although they haven't quite arrived yet. When I get back I'm going to buy that house and we are going to start this family life together. I daydream about Tris, the house, and the kids to keep my mind of Zeke. Amar has barely said a word. Darkness is approaching but we are only about thirty minutes away from home.

Tris POV:

I finally wake up and Mathew is standing over me.

"You just don't know when to quit, do you?"

I don't answer back. He gives me some water from a canteen he brought. I feel instantly better.

"Come on. Lets go."

He helps me up into the truck and we head back to the apartments. Mission failed. I'm mad at myself. Why would I risk my own life, especially why would I risk the lives of my children? Tobias definitely wouldn't want that. I'm sure he's okay. I can feel it.
