Tris POV

"Awwww look at this one!" Christina squeals showing me a baby outfit. She insisted we go clothes shopping for the baby. I get a discount if I buy them from the store she works out so I agreed. She holds up a black and white onesie with a the dauntless emblem and the words "be brave" on it. A perfect Dauntless baby outfit.

"Ok that is pretty adorable I have to admit

"Ok that is pretty adorable I have to admit." I say

"See I knew you'd lighten up!" She chuckles

By the time we're done shopping we have two bags full of clothes, most of them for the baby but some maternity clothes for me as well. I'm 8 months pregnant now and my bump has gotten pretty big, not much fits anymore. I plop down in the couch next to Four and set the two bags of clothes down.

"Have fun?" He asks rubbing my back.

"Yep, and I'm more exhausted than ever. And hungry too...actually could you get me some chocolate covered strawberries form the fridge?? I've been craving them all day."

"Sure love." He says kissing my head and getting up to fulfill my request.

He comes back with the food and I eat almost the entire bowl full, leaving only two chocolate covered strawberries for him.

He sets his hand on my stomach and I rest my head on his shoulder, enjoying the silence. I feel a flutter in my stomach accompanied by a tiny pulse of pressure.

"He kicked!" We say at the same time. I laugh.

"He gonna be an athletic little guy. That's the 5th kick today!" I add

"Tomorrow's the baby shower right?" Four asks

"Yep! Christina's throwing it so it should be fun."

I yawn and look at the clock, which reads 9 p.m.
My eyelids droop, begging to close fully. I let them, as I melt into Four's chest falling into a deep sleep.

Sun streaks through the window forcing my eyes to open. I look down surprised to find I'm still in my clothes from yesterday. I must've fallen asleep and never moved. A minute later Four walks into the living room holding two cups of coffee.

"Morning beautiful." He says handing me my decaf coffee and kissing me on the forehead. You slept on top of me the entire night." He adds

"Oh sorry" I mumble, "I was too tired to move."

"Don't be sorry it was nice." He smiles. He looks at his watch.

"It's 9 a.m. you should probably get ready." He says before taking a sip of his coffee. I finish my coffee and go to get take a shower before Christina comes knocking on my door.
