Tris POV

PREGNANT

The word buzzes around in my head as I stare at the pregnancy test. I'm pregnant...I'm going to be a MOM! I was excited and nervous at the same time. Not knowing what to do with myself I start bawling. I bring my hand over my mouth to stifle my sobs of joy.

Once I had collected myself I decided I needed to tell Christina. I wanna to tell Four the news in a creative way and Christina is the person I need to go to. I decide to leave a note, that is only a partial lie, for Four so he knows where I am.

Went to talk to Christina about the wedding, be back in a little while. Love you.
<6

I grab the pregnancy test, stuffing it in my pocket, and make my way to Christina's apartment. I knock on the door.

"Hey Tris!" She says opening the door

"Hey can I come in?"

"Sure." She says letting me by.

"So...have you taken it yet?" She asks. I pull the pregnancy test out of my pocket. Her jaw drops as she sees the results.

"I'M GONNA BE AN AUNT!" She squeals

"Sh!!" I say, "I don't want all of Dauntless to be able to hear you!"

"So have you told Four yet?"

"No," I start, "I wanna surprise him in a fun way and thought I would come ask you for ideas."

"You have come to the right place!" She says smirking.

Four POV
*Later that night*

I sit on the bed, reading, waiting for Tris to come back. She left a note saying she went to Christina to talk about the wedding. And who knows how long it'll take. A few minutes later I hear the door open. Tris walks into our bedroom beaming.

"Hey hun," I say putting my book down and walking up to her. "How was your day?"

"It was great!" She says hugging me. "How about yours?"

"It was good too." I say smiling. "What's making you so cheery tonight?" I chuckle pulling back from the hug after a moment.

"I have a surprise for you." She grins

"Oh great because you know how much I love surprises." I tease

"Just come with me." She laughs and rolls her eyes.
We walk out of the apartment and Dauntless compound and get on the train.

"Tris where are we going?"

"No questions!" She says putting a finger to my mouth. I laugh

About 10 minutes later we get off of the train and are walking in the direction of Navy Pier. Tris takes me by the hand and walks to the Ferris wheel. What are we doing here? She starts climbing. My stomach twists. Even though I'be climbed this a couple times, it doesn't get rid of the fact that I have a fear of heights.

"Come on slow poke!" She says already a several feet up the ladder. I begin climbing.

After climbing very high up, above me, Tris sits on the ledge that we always sit on when we come here. I sit down next to her, my feet dangling off the edge. She rests her head on my shoulder. I kiss the top of her head. After a few minutes of silence and wondering why on earth Tris brought me up here for Tris asks, "Four how may of us are up here?"

Puzzled by her question I respond, "what do you mean? It's just you and me here..."

"No," she starts, "there's one-" she points to me, "two-" she points to herself "three here-" she says pointing to her stomach. It takes me a second before it sinks in. She's pregnant. I'm going to be a dad.
