In the morning, I woke up nestled in Eric's chest. "Morning my love." Eric's sleepy voice stated, "Morning." "How did you sleep?" He whispered. "Better than last night, cause I was being held by my husband." He blushed. "Come on out of bed. We need to grab breakfast in the cafe, then go see Max before we start training for leadership… I'm sorry we won't be able to lock ourselves in our room for a week, Max wants you to be trained as quickly as possible, most of it, can be done by our next leadership meeting, which is next week. But don't worry, you're a natural. I saw you through your initiation. " I smiled. "Thanks honey." We started training, and continued it throughout the week. "Rise and shine Tris honey. You have to get ready for the leadership meeting." Eric whispered, as I woke. "I'm up… Why does it have to be so early?" I groaned, while we got dressed. "We have to get to Erudite, If it was at Dauntless, I'd happily let you sleep another 20 minutes."

I smiled, as we walked to the others. "I know! I know!" We started running as everyone hopped on the train. "Eric, she won't make it." Max whispered, as Eric scooped me up, pulling me onto the train. "Thanks." I said with a smile, as I sat on the ground of the train. "Tris? Honey?" Eric said, kneeling beside me. "Stiff come on snap out of it." He said, his hand on my cheek. I looked to him. "Sorry… Running, and the movements of the train… aren't helping me feel good…" Eric said "Motion sickness or the other thing?" My eyes met his as I said "The other thing…" Eric placed a gentle kiss on my head, "Well, I think tomorrow, or tonight when we get home, we should get you checked out by the infirmary… Maybe Marlene can give us some tips, and maybe give us some medicine? You're exhausted too, you've been up way too much during the night lately." I said "I think that's a good idea, honey, thank you." "Hey lovebirds! Let's go! We're almost there!" Max shouted. Once we got off the train, I leaned against Eric. "Damn Tris…" "Easy honey."

"I'm alright…" I whispered, as we got settled in the meeting hall, the welcome remarks were made before Jennessa said "Now, let's introduce our newest leaders. From Dauntless: Tris Prior…" I said "Actually…" I cleared my throat as I stood. "It's Tris Coulter." I felt Eric's hand squeeze mine from under the table. "Pardon me for the mistake, Tris." I sat down, glancing to my father, who smiled proudly. "From Abnegation Caleb Prior." The morning passed slowly, I didn't even notice that I was dozing off till Eric nudged me. "Tris, Honey, Lunch time." He said, sweetly. "Humph." I groaned, my eyes opening. "Come on." We went to the cafe for lunch. Lunch was full of idle chatter. "Hey Max? Can you let Eric know I went to step outside for a minute or two? I'm feeling a little lightheaded…" I whispered, before walking out of the compound, and sitting on the bench. "Tris?" I heard a voice say, causing me to look up. "I'm fine Max. Promise." I said, trying to sound confident. "Tris, Honey. We both know that's not true." Max said as he sat beside me. "Fine, OKay? I'm not okay. But this meeting is way too important,and this is where we all need to be. So let's go along with the 'I'm fine.'" Eric came over, and said "Here you two are." I said "Hi. Is it time for the meeting to begin?" Eric reached down his hand. "Yeah. But how are you feeling?" "I'm fine…" I took his hand and stood. "She's not. But seeing the meeting is important, I think she's feeling guilty about feeling sick…" We returned to the meeting, Eric's hand never leaving mine.

Towards the end, Caleb said "I have something I would like to propose, before we're dismissed. I want to get rid of the faction before blood! IT's hard enough for a 16 year old to make a decision in general, and I think that if it would be easier, to know you can communicate with your family, if you chose to defect, you could. It wouldn't be unlikely to cause an uprising. If anything it might help lower the risks. But I think we should have a rule that there is no marriage outside of your chosen faction." Jennessa said "Okay, let's all deliberate." I turned to Eric as Max was discussing with the other leaders for our team. "What do you think, Tris?" Eric asked. I took a deep breath and said "I want to do this. Not just for us… But for any children we decide to have… They'd get to know our families, and not the ones we created at Dauntless." Eric smiled. "I'm in too." Max came over and said "Hey, how do you two want to vote? Most of our faction is in." I smiled, and said "We're in too."

"Alright. Let's vote." Jennessa said. "Candor?" "We're in!" John Kang said. "Amity?" Jennessa asked. "We're in!" Johanna replied. "Dauntless?" Max gave me a nod. "We're in!" I said, proudly. "Erudite?" I asked. " We're in." Jennessa started, before turning to Abnegation. "Congratulations! Your request is approved! I'll make the announcement promptly. Meeting adjourned." We started to go back, towards the train, when Eric stopped me. "Max, We'll be back, I'm going to take Tris, to get checked, We'll meet you at home…" "Okay…" He said worriedly. I turned to Eric, as he helped me step away from the train. "Eric, I just want to get home, get into our comfy clothes, curl up in bed, and fall asleep…" Eric kissed my head, before he said "I know honey, but I really think we should get you checked out, for the baby's sake. You're tired all the time, and you're feeling sick, all the time. I haven't seen you keep anything down completely, in a couple days, You even hardly touched any food at lunch…" I sighed, and nodded. "Fine… Okay? You win."

"Thank you." We went to Erudite General where Eric sat me in a wheelchair before saying "Hi My wife is about 8 weeks pregnant, and hasn't kept anything down in at least a couple days." "Alright, We'll get her back right away, please follow us." Eric pushed my chair following them, to a room." "Alright, well make yourselves comfortable, and one of our obstetrical nurses will be in shortly, and a doctor as well." "Thank you." Eric wrapped his arms around me, as he lifted me up carefully. "Here we go." He laid me on the bed, and sat close to me. "I'm going to spoil you, over the next couple days." His hand caressed my knee, as a young woman came in. "Hi, I'm Jenie, and I'll be your nurse today." I looked at her, gently squeezing Eric's hand. "I'm Tris Coulter, this is my HUSBAND Eric." Eric moved and sat beside me on the bed, so my head could easily nestle into the crook of his neck. "Nice to meet you both. So while we wait for the doctor, he's just finishing up with another patient right now, so for now, I'm going to hook you up to the monitors, get an IV going with saline as well as getting some blood drawn for some blood work, is all that okay?" I nodded. "Yeah whatever you need. Thanks." While she busied herself with getting me set up on everything. "Alright. I'm going to get to work on this, and I'll be back in a bit." I nodded, as I curled up in Eric's chest.

Max: How's our girl feeling?

Eric: She's okay. We just got her hooked up to monitors, some blood drawn for bloodwork and IVs. Haven't talked to a doctor, only the nurse. Will update soon.

"Hi, You must be Mr. and Mrs. Couilter?" "It's Coulter. It might be easier if you call us Tris, and Eric." The Doctor smiled and said "Thanks, I'm Dr. Carlson. I'll be the doctor in charge 0f your care." I smiled, as Eric said "I'm Eric, Her husband, and the baby's dad." I smiled, and said "I'm Tris." Dr. Carlson said "Pleasure. So, while we're waiting on the blood work, I wanted to see exactly how your feeling exactly. All the nurse said was you were severely dehydrated." Eric saw me curl up on the bed.

~Eric's Prov~

"If it's alright, Dr. Carlson, Seeing how exhausted she is, I'd like to speak on her behalf." I started. "That's fine, given the circumstances." I smiled a bit. "So since we found out she's pregnant, I've noticed, she's been nauseous, more than anyone I've ever seen… She's also been up way too much at night, so she's been exhausted during the day. She hasn't been able to keep anything down… Today she's even lightheaded and dizzy… We were going to check with our nursing team at home, but when she got lightheaded today I didn't think we should wait, so I brought her in." Dr. Carlson smiled, writing everything down. "I'm glad you did, I don't like the fact she's dizzy, and lightheaded, along with not keeping anything down. We'll give her some medicine for the nausea, before you go home, but right now we'll give it through her IV, and we'll see what the tests show. How far along is she?" I said "I think 2 months now, But I'm not sure."

"Well, with your permission, we can do an ultrasound and see if we can get measurements?" I looked to Tris, who had fallen asleep. "Of course." The doctor did the ultrasound, Tris moaning uncomfortably when the gel was placed on her belly. "Shh. It's okay, princess. I'm right here." I whispered. "The doctor is just checking on the baby." I rubbed her shoulders. "Well the baby is looking to be about 9 weeks, which would be just right for your assumption of 2 months. The due date will be around Christmas time." I smiled. A Christmas baby. "That's wonderful news. Is the baby okay?"

The doctor looked to me, and said "For now yes, but if your wife doesn't start holding things down, and drinking more, the baby might not make it." I inhaled deeply. "I promise, I'll see to it." "Good. We want to keep her overnight, maybe even two nights. Okay? I'll check in when we get more results, and in the morning." "Thanks Doc." My sweet princess's voice said,as I wrapped my arms around her. "Go back to sleep honey." I let her sleep, all night. Only I woke when the doctors and nurses came in.

~Tris's prov~

In the morning, I woke feeling more refreshed than I have in days. "Morning Princess." Eric's sleep filled voice came from beside me. I leaned over and kissed his head. "Morning." He sat up, his arms securing around me. "How are you feeling?" He asked. "Much better, Thanks, for letting me sleep… How are you feeling? I know these beds are probably not comfortable for you." "Yeah, they are the most uncomfortable things ever." He laughed sweetly. "But You're worth it. I'm alright I guess, I'm just tired… I woke up with all the doctors and nurses for your sake…" I smiled, and said "Well, I hope by tonight we'll be back in our own bed." "Well when the doctor was in he said you still looked dehydrated, and most likely will result in being here one more day…" "Ugh. Really? I just want to go home already…" I complained. "I know, Me too…. But try not to worry so much, honey. We'll be home soon."

I laid my head on Eric's chest, as there was a knock. "Come in." I heard Eric call, before the door opened and the doctor came in. "Good morning. How are we feeling this morning?" "We have someone wanting to make a break for it…" Eric said, kissing my head. "Well, let's see how you're doing medically." The doctor stated, before checking everything. "Well, you are more hydrated, more than you were when the night doctor checked, but still, lower than we'd like to see…" I groaned. "I hate it here." I whispered. Eric said "Is there any way we can go home, sooner? WE know the signs of her getting dehydrated, we can go see our nurse practitioner and medical team at Dauntless if it happens again, and I'll make sure she stays hydrated. Is there any chance we can get her discharged?" The doctor sat on the bed and said "Well… I have to say it makes me nervous, but if she eats and drinks something before she leaves, I'll discharge her, with your understanding, if she gets dehydrated, you have to follow very clear instructions." I said "I could eat." "Good breakfast trays are coming. I'm going to get the discharge papers." I ate breakfast, while Eric talked to the doctor. Before we got discharged, I got the medicine before Eric took me home. "Here we are. Home sweet home." Eric whispered, as we walked to our apartment, before he opened the door and settled me down on the couch.

Eric: Hey Max. We're home. Not much to report. I know we're due in the office, but Jensin can handle my duties for today.

Eric: Hey Jensin, I am home with Tris, But is there any chance you could cover my duties for today? Tris got sick badly yesterday and we were at Erudite General last night.

Jensin: Yeah of course man. You take care of that girl of yours, It's all good."

Max: I'll come over with Kara, now. We've been worried about you both.

Eric: Thanks Man. I owe you!

Eric: Well, We can't stop you, thanks.

Eric sat next to me and said "How's my princess feeling?" I said "I'm good. Honestly feeling stronger than I ever have, Thanks to you." Eric looked to me curiously. "Why Thank me?" He asked. "I don't know… Just being near you makes me feel stronger." Eric smiled, and said "That goes both ways." Just then there was a knock. "I'll get it." Eric said, as he got up, and went to the door. "Hi, Come on in. What's that?" He asked letting Max and Kara in. "Just a special treat for you guys. Can you help us son?" Kara asked, as Eric took the bags, and sat them on the coffee table. "Tris, You're going to love this…" He pulled out a couple containers, and sat them in front of us. "No Way!" Eric said "What?" I grinned, opening one of the containers. "How did you guys know?! Chicken noodle and dumpling soup is my FAVORITE!?" Eric laughed sweetly. "That's my doing my dear. You've been non-stopped talking about it since you had it last time!" I blushed. While we ate, Eric told them everything we learned from the doctor omitting the news of our pregnancy. "Well, that in and of itself might be difficult… Cause you both have separate offices… But what we can do, is put like an intercom speaker in your offices, and if Tris feels off…" "I can call you on the intercom." Eric said "Alright, that's fair…"

"You seem hesitant… What's wrong? You do have rights here. Not just as head leader… But as her husband." I looked to my husband as he said "I mean I know our plan seems fair… But…" Eric looked to me gently. "I would feel better if we could convert one of the bigger offices, into a double, even triple office space… That way it'd be easier to help her if I could be in the same office space." "Why's that?" Eric looked to me, before I said "I'm Pregnant…" Eric squeezed my knee gently, as Max and Kara said "We thought so, You have a glow." I blushed, as Eric kissed my head. "Would it be possible to do that though?" Max smiled before saying "Well, my office is the biggest, more than enough space to be converted into a 3 person office space. I looked to Eric who said "But you're still the head of Dauntless…" "Actually… I want to name you as Head of Dauntless, and I want to retire." I looked to Eric, who just honestly looked shocked. "Eric?" They said, Eric still looked like a zombie. "Alright, Let me try this…" I gave him a quick peck on the lips, and he snapped out of it. "Sorry, I must've…" "Been in Shock! Now what do you say to the promotion?" I asked.

"I'd be an idiot not to accept. But I do want to add a co-head leader, in the event I am unable to be in the office, or something happens with Tris and we need to be home, and the one I'd like to name as the co-head leader, is Jensin. That also means we have 2 new leadership spots to fill." Eric said, squeezing my hand. "You got it son! We'll get to work on the conversion of my old office, and do you know the two leaders you're aiming for?" Eric nodded. "Well good, Now we'll leave you two to rest." They left after giving us hugs.

Eric: Hey Uriah, Hey Four, can you come to the apartment?

Eric: Hey Jensin, after work, can you come down to our place? I have something important I need to ask you.

Uriah: OMW.

Four: Be there at Dinner.

Jensin: You got it man.

I snuggled into Eric's chest. " Want to go take a nap honey?" I nodded my head. "Would you mind?" "Not at all." Eric helped me to the bedroom and filled a cup up. "Alright heres, a drink. I'll be in the other room." I felt his lips on my head, before I fell asleep.
