Chapter 6

Daddy is the name.

Tobias' POV

My knee seems to be restless, jumping up and down, up and down. I'm sweating bullets, I rub the palms of my hands on my jeans. I was at work when Chris called me, the infirmary was insisting that we come down to see them as soon as possible.

Needless to say, I felt like I was dragging my heels all the way there. On the one hand I feared that the news would reveal that Chris was indeed pregnant. On the other hand, I fear the news could be worse. Something that would bind me forever with her. After all she did stand by me when it came to my cancer. I would have no choice if the news was similar to that for her.

I arrived shortly after Christina did, the front receptionist already informed me that she was already escorted back. Although I was confused as to why she was escorted not to an examination room, but to a Doctor's personal office.

"I'm sorry," I blurted out, as I closed the door behind me.

I take notice that Christina is sitting stiff in one of the two chairs, her legs crossed as if she is upset that I took longer than I should have. Like I obviously should have ran the minute I got the call. Easy for her to think that, I actually had to get an excuse from my boss in order to leave. With initiation around the corner my to do list grows with every hour that passes.

I take the seat beside her, the doctor looks more and more panicky with every second that passes by. My stomach drops thinking that I was right to panic earlier, maybe the news is bad.

I reach out like the supportive husband I should be, taking Christina's hand as the doctor prepares himself to give whatever news he has to give us. I squeeze Christina's hand for support, as I feel her entire body stiffer than it has ever been.

"I'm not pregnant. Just say it," Christina blurts out. Her body is shaking with sorrow. I cup her face that I'm holding with my other hand, wishing I could protect her from the news to come. I may not be in love with my wife. But I do love her.

"No, you're not." The Doctor says, his face expressionless as he continues on with what he has to say. "I'm sorry."

I would be lying if I said I wasn't relieved by this news. A baby would be the worst timing right now.

"It's alright, Doc… It's no one's fault, these things just happen," I say, holding Chris' hand just a little more tighter. I can see her heart breaking for this child that never existed. In a way I know it's not fair…it's not fair for her not to have what she has always wanted. A family. Not fair that her husband doesnt love her the way he should. And not her fault…

"Well, it is actually." The doctor corrects me. What? My eyebrows crease together, not exactly sure what he is talking about.

"What? What do you mean?" Christina asks.

"Seven weeks ago... I accidently used your specimen on the wrong woman." He explains.

"Excuse me." Christina says, her voice a little higher than before.

"You… I'm sorry, what?" I mutter. Did he just say?

"I inseminated a women with your sperm. Mistakenly." The Doctor announced. My stomach drops as I process his words. Someone out there… is pregnant with my baby. A woman I may never have met. How could this have happened? What does this mean?

"Excuse me Doctor, she's here." The nurse says, interrupting us. Doctor Ortiz stands from his desk and straightens up.

"If you would excuse me. I need to inform her of the situation." He says, walking out the door and closing the door behind him softly. I take a deep breath, blocking Chris' words out, there are two rooms next to each other. Two rooms with two people who have nothing to do with each other… Yet their worlds are colliding together faster than they both can imagine.

I stand without thinking, as I hear the door beside our room open and the sound of rushing feet alerts me. I hurry to open the door to see who this woman is. The woman is caring for my baby. Possibly my only baby. I didn't have many samples left… Chris and I tried a round or two that luckily didn't take. But this woman, this woman conceived without even trying. This woman that now carries the only life I can ever make with another person.

I open the door, needing to get a glimpse, maybe even a word in. To give her any support she needs. Surely we can come to some kind of understanding.

When I see the woman, my mind blanks and my body stops. I watched the woman dash down the hall and pass me. She is clearly upset with tears running down her face. I recognize the long blond hair, the three crows on her collarbone, the tattoos of both her former and current faction on her body…. Tris?

I stand frozen in place, standing in between the doors. It takes the Doctor's hand on my shoulder to snap me out of it.

"Was that her?" I ask, gesturing towards the direction Tris went. I can see the Doctor is fighting with confidentiality and wanting to come clean.

"Yes." He finally confesses. "But she has asked for some time to think about things…" He says, pushing through the door and taking his rightful seat behind the desk. I decide to stand, pacing back and forth as I work through the boiling in my blood.

How can this asshole be so calm? He should be fired no factionless for this? I should talk with Max about this? Tris? The mother of my child is Tris. I can't even begin to think about what that means… Or how I feel about that?

"So what happens now?" Christina asks. My head snaps up suddenly, realizing that she is still here. For the first time, she has remained so calm and silent in all of this. It's not like her at all.

"Now we wait. The woman has been given options… Including a way to terminate the pregnancy if she chooses to, along with my personal number." He explains. As if he is explaining how to get rid of an everyday headache, instead of a baby. Asshole.

What if Tris decides to terminate the baby? What if my only chance to be a dad ends as quickly as it came? I glance at Chris, a part of me wanting to be angry with the fact that she got us here in the first place. But then this all wouldn't be happening. Tris is pregnant with our baby.

My mind continues to race, wondering how Christina will take the news when she finally realizes who the mother is. She hasn't spoken to Tris since Will's tragedy. Suddenly I'm defensive, wanting to somehow protect Tris from Christina. She'll think she stole the baby from her, just like she took Will from her. Just like in reality she still has my heart.

Thoughts, comments, concerns?

What do you all think Christina will do or say when she finds out who the Mommy is? Do you think Tris should keep the baby?
