ANOTHER CHANCE (Divergent Story : After Allegiant)

CHAPTER 7 : Baby

Tobias P.O.V

Since Tris asked me to sleep with her and that kiss...... oh that kiss, I haven't been able to fall asleep again. Just holding Tris in my arms like this and seeing her sleep, I never want to have this end. I lay awake until I see the sun rise. I decide that I will get breakfast ready, so she can eat when she wakes.

I remove her from my arms, trying to not wake her and head to my closet to get dressed. Once dressed, I head to the kitchen and get stuff out for breakfast. I hear a soft knock on the door, and immediately realise it is Christina. I go to open it, and look her in shock.

"Chris, didn't you get any sleep last night?", I ask her. Her face is blotched and it look like she hasn't slept in days. She brushes past me with a bag in her hand. Once in the sitting room, she turns to me before speaking.

"No, I can't wrap my head around everything Four. How could they do that to us. God, to you.", getting loader towards the end.

"Shhh. She's sleeping, we had a rough night, she keeps waking with nightmares and stuff." I tell her.  I can see Christina realising she was talking loud there.

"Sorry," she mumbles. "I brought some clothes and stuff for her. I doubt that she would want to live from your closet the whole time."

I tell her thanks and she turns to leave. Just outside the door she turns and looks at me with determination on her face and says, "We are going to make them pay for what they have done to her. That I promise you. Just promise me you will look after her?"

I nod my head at her and she turns to leave down the hall. I leave the bag on the table and head back to the kitchen, preparing breakfast for us. Just before I finish, Tris stumbles into the kitchen looking around. I smile at her and tell her that Christina stopped by with some stuff for her. I told her she can go take a shower before breakfast if she wants. She thanks me, takes the bag and leaves towards the room. A few minutes later I hear the shower running. I get everything ready for when she is done and decide to go and watch the news while waiting for her.

With everything that has happened, we received a device call a television in our home. It shows us stuff calls movies and series and then there is the news. That is what is actually happening in our world. I still can't wrap my head around everything, but this is life. After a while I decide that something must be wrong, because Tris has been in the shower for far to long, even for her, so I get up and go to the bathroom door. I knock, no answer. I  knock again and listen, hearing crying inside.

"Tris, I am coming in. Okay?", I tell her before entering. I see her sitting in the shower on the floor and crying. I go to her, turn the shower off and pick her up. I wrap a towel around her and take her to my bed.

"Tris, please tell me what is wrong." I tell her, hoping that she will tell me, because whatever it is, it is killing her. She cries even harder and I try to comfort her as best I can.

After a while, she calms down a bit to actually speak. "Tobias, I don't know how to say this... I am scared you are going to be angry with me, but please remember, I couldn't tell you before, I only found out after, " she says before breaking down again.

I look at her and say, "Tris, whatever it is. I will never be angry at you. What is wrong?"

She gives one last hiccup and looks up at me before saying, "Tobias, I was pregnant and they..... they killed him in front of me..." She looks at me then starts crying even harder, if that was possible. I don't know what to do, I am stuck with this vision of Tris with a baby, in her arms and then start to feel anger as the Bureau took everything away from her.

All I can get out is, "Who's baby was it?"

"Ours", is all she says before continue crying. I remember the one night we had just before I lost her and could feel my love I had for her then, and the love I have for her now. It has never changed, even with years of thinking she was dead.

Ours, ours, ours. That is all I can think about at this moment. I had a child and they took that from me. Anger starts to boil up in me before I ask, "What happened to the baby Tris?"

"They killed him. Right in front of me while they had him in a simulation. They killed our son Tobias. I couldn't do anything about it except sit and watch how he screamed and gave his last breath. I am so, so sorry. I couldn't stop them. Please don't be mad at me." she sobs into the pillow now.

I am stunned out of the anger for them, with her pleading and realise that she thinks I blame her for his death. I turn and grab her so she can look at me. "Tris, I do not blame you. God, how can I? You went through the same and they, The Bureau, did this. Not you! Do you understand me? You will not feel guilty about this. It wasn't your fault." I tell her.

I am being honest with her, I do not blame any of this on her, except that she left me to go into the weapons lab instead of Caleb. I honestly though she won't do that, but I have come to terms that she still does loves her brother, even if she can't remember it.

After she cried, I tell her that I made breakfast if she feels up to it. She wipes her face and asks me if she can just get dressed first. Only now do I see she is still in her towel that I wrapped her in earlier. I leave the room and go to the kitchen to heat the food for us. I get everything ready and just as I put her juice on the table does she come out of the room.

She looks so much better than before, she has some of the clothes on that Christina brought, and light makeup to hide some of the bruises on her face. I smile at her and we sit down to eat. I am so deep in thought about everything, that I don't realise that she is staring at me. I look up, see her stare and she turns her head away from me and blushes. Damn, I never knew that she can blush like that. A smile creeps onto my face, but I am trying hard to hide it.
