Chapter 25

Where's my baby?

Tobias' POV

I stand back amazed at the sight before me. Words can't begin to describe this feeling I have inside of me. It's as if all the troubles in the world have suddenly disappeared. Nothing and I mean nothing can make this smile fade from my face right now.

"You're staring." Tris whispers, laying back in her bed as she breast feeds our little angel. I feel the heat in my cheeks begin to rise as I clear my throat, realizing that she is right…I was staring. Although her right breast is partially exposed to me, I wasn't staring because of that. Not that there isn't anything to look at. But I'm in awe instead, staring at the little new bundle of joy in her arms. I can't seem to take my eyes off of her. I want nothing more than to mark every second of her in my memory. To cherish every little movement, every "oo", every whimper. I love watching her large, blue eyes open, looking around at the little noises she suddenly hears.

"Sorry," I apologize.

"I get it." Tris says, keeping her voice just above a whisper to not startle our little angel. "She's perfect."

"Yes, she is." I can't agree more.

A perfect mixture of Tris and me… Short thin blond hair, with her ocean blue eyes, her little button nose, no doubt from her mother and her bottom full lip, obviously from me. I can't wait to see what the days ahead will make her into. The person she will become.

"How are you? Can I get you anything?" I ask, inching closer to them both. Wanting, no, needing to be closer to them.

"I'm okay. Just a little sore." She admits. I can see how hard that was for her to admit.

"Can you change her diaper and burp her while I go to the restroom?" Tris asks, as the baby gently lets go of Tris' breast. Her little head falling back, her little belly full and content.

"Of course," I say, holding both my arms out in the position the nurse told me to expect the baby in. I admit the first round of feedings scared the shit out of me. As Tris was taking little tips from a Nutritionist, the woman had no worry in the world as she burped our daughter. What sounded to me like a smack on the baby's back, she explained, was just a pat. She helped the baby burp. I kept waiting to see bruises, or even hear the baby cry out in pain. No doubt there would have been nothing left of her if there would have been. But Tris assured me, the baby was more than fine.

Things were just as hard when it came to the first diaper change. Luckily Tris was there to help me through it. Camera and all. Tris laughed harder and harder each time I asked not just her, but the nurses if this was appropriate for a father to do. Change his daughter. Many of the nurses got a good laugh, sad to say.

Tris was a champ through it all. This time training me on how to wipe and fasten the diaper. Luckily for the both of us, she got a little hands-on experience with babies back in Abnegation. As every Sunday teenage girls would help out with the babies of the faction while the mothers attended church or did charity work. Boys on the other hand were told to help clean up after the service instead. Folding the chairs and picking up any trash left behind.

I carefully accept my daughter, slowly cradling her in my hands to my left shoulder. I begin to gently pat her little back, waiting for her to let out that cute little burp she does. I smile, proud of my little angel when she finally relieves herself.

I lay her back down on Tris' bed, on top of a baby blanket. Unclothing her and then unfastening the little tabs on the diaper. I try to remind myself to be friendly and light… No matter what I find. I'm thankful that I only found pee. I wipe gently front to back and then get her into a fresh, dry diaper. Placing her clothes back in place and swaddling her back up when Tris waddles back out of the bathroom. I hear the exhausted sigh in her tone, as she checks on our little angel.

"Oh yeah. She's fine. She just peed," I announce like it's the best thing in the world. Tris slowly maneuvers herself back into the bed. I can see she is nothing but tired and sore. Tomorrow morning they will send us home. Tomorrow we will have to deal with being outside this bubble we created for us… Until then I can pretend. Pretend that there is only us in this world. Pretend that our family will always be like this.

"Why don't you get some rest?" I ask, taking a seat in the rocking chair near Tris' bedside. "I got her."

"You sure?" Tris asks.

"You need to sleep. It's three am," I reminded her. "You need your rest."

"Okay." She says, laying back in her bed I can see how tired she is as she easily closes her eyes and falls to sleep.

I sit back rocking both me and my daughter happily in the chair. Content with the world and having her in it. She is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, well except for Tris.

Tris' POV

My eyes flutter open slowly, feeling as though I have been asleep way longer than I should have. Surprised when I indeed see the sun peek out through the window. I glance over to the clock, noticing the time…. It's seven am, but that can't be. I sit up, thinking back to when I last fed my baby. It was three am. She's a newborn, breast feeding, she has been feeding almost every hour and a half to two hours.

My eyes fall on Tobias who is sleeping sitting up in the rocking chair not even more than an arms length away. Next to him is the see-through plastic bed that our daughter should be sleeping in. Should be… Only she's not. It's empty.

"Tobias," I call out, reaching for any part of him I can touch to shake him awake. "Tobias!" I scream out, a little louder this time.

"What? What is it?" He whispers, his voice full of sleep as he slowly opens his eyes.

"The baby! Where's the baby?" I scream out, frantically throwing the covers off of me and begin to struggle to get out of this bed. Determined to find my baby.

"She was here…She was fine…" He says, jumping to his feet, he glances around himself as if the baby somehow got up and walked over to another part of the room.

"I'm calling the nurse," I announce as I push the button on the remote. Tobias already has the door open, ahead of my thoughts as he runs out frantically screaming for anyone to help us. Suddenly not one, not three, but six nurses along with the infirmary's security team came rushing into my room. All looking for signs of trouble.

"My daughter…She's gone!" I scream out, pointing to the obvious situation at hand. That's when the room breaks into complete chaos. When the security guard begins to question Tobias, as one Nurse tries to calm me down. Another nurse begins to look under the bed, in the bathroom, the shower… The trash cans. While the second security guard explains that he will go check out the cameras. Just then Tobias' cell phone rings on the nightstand near my bed. I reach over, noticing the caller, Zeke. Without thinking I push the answer key. Frightened and wanting anyone and everyone to help bring my baby back to me.

"Zeke," I cry, my body stuttering with fear of what could be happening to my baby. I feel an arm around my shoulders, as Tobias tries to clearly comfort me from this situation. But nothing and I mean nothing can calm me.

"Tris. Where's Four?" He demands, his voice filled with urgency.

"Someone has her. Someone has the baby," I cry out, my voice matching the tremors that run through my body.

"I know. I know who has her." He announces confidently.

"What? Who?" I ask, as I place the phone on speaker for all of us to hear. I fear whose name he will say when he finally lets it free.

"It was Christina." It's all he has to say. I feel every inch of my body filled with chills. "I'm on my way." Zeke says.

A/N

Did you really think we weren't going to see her again?

Come on now.

I hope those of you who celebrated Halloween had a safe and enjoyable Holiday. I know there was a lot of chaos happening… It's insane what this world has come to. If only we could all live in the Divergent world.
