It took three days for the attack. Eric and I handled it with ease, but not without injury. I got injured, and we got airlifted to Erudite General, where I was whisked right into surgery. It took a few hours, before I was in a room with Eric at my side. "Hey, you're okay." He whispered, kissing my head. "What... Happened?" I asked. "You were shot. In the arm and leg, thankfully, you were bleeding a lot, but you're okay, and so is the baby. That's the important thing, and frankly the only thing I care about."
I sat up a little, groaning in pain, Eric moved, and took a seat beside me, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. "Hey easy, honey." He whispered, as I laid my head on his chest. "They haven't done an ultrasound yet, just what they called a 'Fetal doppler' to check and watch the heartrate." I nodded, as there was a knock. "It's open!" Eric called, as a young man and woman entered. "Ahh looks like our Champion is awake." the man said, as I looked up to Eric, curiously. "This is the doctor who's been taking care of you, Dr. Martin, and this is the obstetric doctor Dr. Tipton." I smiled and said "Hi." Dr. Martin smiled and said "Well your numbers are amazing. But we are going to get an ultrasound and check on the baby. Sound good?" I looked nervously to Eric, who said "Yeah of course. Tris honey, it's okay. I promise, you got an ultrasound last time, and I'll be right here." I nodded. Dr. Tipton prepared to watch the ultrasound tech. The ultrasound tech put some gel on my now exposed belly, causing me to shriek from the cold. "Miss, please sit still." the Ultrasound tech scolded. "Hey ease up, and next time warn the girl before you put the gel on. She shrieked and jumped like that from the cold!" Dr. Tipton scolded. Eric kissed my head. "It's okay. I'm right here."
The ultrasound tech put the wand on my belly harshly, causing me to swat it as well as her hand off. "Are you serious, do I have to have you restrain you?!" The ultrasound tech said, as Eric said "Okay that's it. Threatening to restrain her is where I draw the line! I want another Ultrasound tech! This one obviously makes my wife uncomfortable." Dr. Tipton dismissed the ultrasound tech, before a nurse came in. "Here let me." She was a lot gentler. "Alright... Let's take a look." She gently moved the wand, before a picture of a baby popped up. "Alright, hearts beating perfectly, measuring at 10 weeks (about 2 and a half months), and looking very healthy despite momma's trauma." I craned my head, to look at the screen, seeing the baby, my eyes filled with tears, causing Eric to wipe them. "Thanks Dr. Martin, Dr. Tipton and..." "Jena." The nurse smiled. "Well, we want to see you in a month, to check on the healing process, and hopefully remove the stitches." I nodded, as the nurse unhooked me from the monitors, as Eric handed me some clothes. "Thanks doc." We stated before I changed, and we left.
Upon returning to Dauntless, We went straight to our apartment, where I laid down on the couch. "Are you feeling okay?" Eric said kneeling beside me, as his hand rested on my belly. "No, I'm sorry..." "Don't be, go lie down in bed, and I'll see if Jensin, Uriah, or Four can get some soup." Eric kissed my head, as I went to the bedroom curling up in bed.
Eric: Hey Jensin, Four, and Uriah, can one of you do me a huge favor?
Uriah and Four: Yeah Man, what's up? Is Tris Okay?
Eric: It's about Tris. She's not feeling well, and we just got home from Erudite General... She's fine from the mission, all bullet's removed and she's stitched up. She was shot in the arm and Leg. But she's not feeling well...
Uriah: I'll see if Marlene can stop by later. What do you need in the meantime?
Four: I can pick up some soup. I know it's Tris's favorite...
Eric: Thanks, guys! I don't even know, maybe a thermomotor. Frankly I'll settle for anything to help Tris get comfortable.
Uriah: I'll go to the pit, Marlene texted me a list of things, she could try, till Marlene can come check on her. I'll get thermomotor too.
Four: Perfect!
Jensin: Hey, Man. Everything Okay?
Eric: Not really, Tris isn't feeling well, after we got home, from Erudite... I'm not sure with what, but I know she doesn't want to leave the bed or couch... I convinced her to go lay down in bed... But, we both might need to work from home for a while.
Jensin: Of course, whatever you both need! I'll stop by after work, and check in.
Eric: Thanks man.
"Eric!" I cried, as he came in. "hey, hey. What's wrong?" He said, wrapping my arm around my waist, lifting me up gently, setting me back up on the bed. "What happened?" He asked sitting beside me. "I don't know... I just wanted to get up and relieve myself... when I fell..." Eric frowned, before helping me to the bathroom. "Here, I'll be right in the bedroom, I'm going to call Marlene, and see if there is anyway she can come and check on you sooner. Okay? Do not under any circumstances get up, without calling for me." I grabbed his hand. "Okay honey... I'll stay."
After I finished, He helped me back to the bedroom laying me back down. "Alright, don't move... I'll be back." He didn't move too far, as I could hear him talking. "Hey Marlene... It's Eric... Look, I know your swamped at the infirmary... But is there any chance you could come take a look at Tris sooner? I don't know what's going on but she just collapsed from pain. I saw it in her eyes, when she got up to use the bathroom... I'm worried. Okay... I'll take what we can get... but what can I do in the meantime to help her? Okay... Yeah no problem. I'll text Uriah, and ask him to pick them up... anything else? Sounds good. Thanks Marlene." He hung up and came over to me.
Eric: Hey Uriah, can you pick up some Iron vitamins, a fetal doppler, and a Blood pressure cuff? If you can't find a fetal doppler, text Marlene, and ask her to bring it.
Uriah: Sure, everything Okay?
Eric: Not really.
"Hey. What's wrong? What happened?" he asked, seeing my tears. "What's happening to me... what if it hurt the baby!?" I cried, as he shook his head, wrapping his arms around me as he pulled me to his lap. "Hey it's okay, honey. You'll be fine, so will the baby. I'm here to make sure of it, okay? Marlene's going to come check on you as soon as she can. I have Uriah picking up some things for us so I can stay here and take care of you." I laid my head on his shoulder, while he held me texting the code to Uriah, and Four. "Shhh..." He whispered as he rocked me. "Eric?! Tris?!" I heard, as I crawled off of Eric. "I don't want to see anyone." Eric smiled sympatheticly. "I'll take care of it." He whispered.

I stepped out of the bedroom, smiling. "Hey Four, Hey Uriah. Thanks so much!" I greeted. "Hey, How's Tris?" they asked, as they sat everything on the table. "She's okay I think... She doesn't want to see anyone." Four said "No worries, Here's the soup, I brought enough for her to have 2 bowls, and what is next to it, is for you, since I know you aren't a fan of soup, it's your favorite as well." I smiled and said "Thank you." I handed him a twenty. "No need Eric, I told them it was for you and Tris, and they charged it to your accounts." I smiled. "Thanks."
Uriah pointed to the four bags. "Inside are everything you asked for, except the fetal doppler, I already texted Marlene to bring an extra one. But she did text remedies to help, so I got a bunch. Just breathe. We all got your back, and Tris's. Shes our sister." I smiled and said "Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me, and I know Tris will be grateful. I'll update you both later, right now I'm going to get this stuff in to her." I brought everything into Tris and convinced her to eat, while I ate at her side. "Thank you..." She whispered. "Just rest now, darling. I'll be back." I took the stuff and threw it out, when there was a knock. I opened it and smiled. "Mar. Thanks for coming... She's in the master bedroom. Right through there." I pointed, as Jensin came in.
"Hey, what's going on man?" I sunk to the couch, head in my hands. "She's so weak man... She collapsed from pain earlier... I'm terrified... I can't lose them..." Jensin placed a couple hands on my shoulder. "Eric, calm down. Look at me." I lifted my head to meet his eyes. "You are stronger than you know. Your strength magnifies when Tris is weak or hurt, or sick or even in danger. You have a whole faction behind you. Whatever you need, we will be in your corner. If you need to work from home, for the duration, done. If you need extra help getting stuff done, name it, and one of us will get it done. We trust you and love you, as a brother. Just say the word and we'll be there. Especially me, Uriah, Four, Max and Kara."
"Thanks man..." "Eric?" I stood up as Marlene entered. "Is she okay?" I asked. Marlene said "She'll be just fine... But she did catch the dauntless flu, and the pain she collapsed from is a condition called Pelvic pervia, which simply means, it causes pressure in her pelvic area causing her to collapse from the pain, and to feel weak, while it's not dangerous for her and the baby, yet..." I said "What does that mean 'yet'?"
Marlene said "It could become more problematic, as the pregnancy progresses. I want her on bi-weekly visits, and any flare of the pelvic pervia, I want her to stay in bed for a couple days." I said "Can they happen at any time?" She nodded, and said "But if it happens more frequently, I'll put her on strict bedrest." I said "Can't we do like... a modify form of bedrest? Is that such a thing?" Marlene said "Modify bedrest would consist of light movement, walking to the bathroom out here to the couch, I'll even suggest to the cafe, but nothing more, and absolutely no jumping from the trains, and light stairs, like not up 20 of them but one set is safe, but given the amount of pain she was in, I don't recommend it."
I said "Does she know?" Marlene said "No... She's unaware about the pelvic pervia." I said "Let's do the modify bedrest with bi-weekly appointments and reevaluate as she progresses further..." Marlene said "Alright. I left a fetal doppler, and medication for the flu and pain relief in the bedroom. I gave her one dose of the medicine already, so no more today since it's so late. 3 times daily with meals. Everything else is just fine, and within normal range." I nodded, before Marlene left. I turned to Jensin. "Eric, I'm so sorry, all this is happening..." "Thanks, man... I hate..." Jensin said "None of that! I'll bring everything you both will need to work from home, and if you need a break, and not comfortable, leaving Tris alone, we can take turns staying with her." I smiled, gratefully. "Thank you." "I'll come by tomorrow." He left, as I went to Tris. "Hey princess."
"Hi... So it..." I stopped her, sitting in front of her, as she pulled her knees to her chest. "It's more than just the flu." I said as she looked confused. "No, it's just the flu... Marlene said it was just the flu..." She said, as I shook my head. "No. Honey, I want you to listen to me, before you freak out and know I made the decision, based on what I thought was best for you and baby." I saw her nod. "Okay..." She replied. I smiled and said "Thank you. You have a condition called Pelvic Pervia, it simply means it causes pressure in your pelvic area causing you to collapse from the pain, and to feel weak... It's not dangerous, for you both, but it could cause problems, to the point where you'd have to be on bedrest... But in an attempt, to prevent that, I agreed to modify bedrest, which means you can move lightly. Just to the bathroom, couch, garage, and cafe, no stairs, no jumping from trains, so for the leadership meetings I'll drive us, but it'll be easier for you and the baby. I'll be home with you, and if it gets bad, and worse, you'll be on strict bedrest. We're also on bi-weekly appointments..."
~Tris's Prov~
I couldn't believe this. "Okay..." My voice shook as I continued. "Did I do something to cause this...?" Eric shook his head. "No, you didn't honey. It's going to be okay. I'll be right here, helping you through this, and we have a whole faction, behind us." "Thank you." I whispered. He said "Try and rest now... I'll be here when you wake." I nodded as we laid beside each other and fell asleep
