Between the lines (sequel to Divergent High) ON HOLD

Chapter 14

TRIS POV

I'm speechless.

"That means will you marry me just in case you didn't understand." He clarifies.

A laugh mixed with a sob comes from my body.

"So will you?"

"Absolutely!" I cry out.

He slides a ring on my finger.

I'm crying so hard that my vision is blurred and my face is soaking wet. I manage to wipe the tears away just enough so I can see Tobias.

I spring onto him and give him a sloppy kiss.

-2 hours later-

We're still sitting at the picnic table.

We've just been watching the sunset and cuddling up to each other, along with the occasional kiss.

I look at the time displayed on my phone.

"It's 9:13."

"I know."

"Oh."

Then we look in silence again.

My stomach grumbles.

I look at the plate in front of me.

Clean.

"Can we go to McDonald's?"

"Ummm sure? Do you want to go now?"

"Can we?"

"Yeah! Totally. Lets go."

We pull into the nearest McDonald's drive through.

"What do you want?" Tobias asks me.

"Ummmm number 2 only ketchup and pickles on the burgers and a m&m mcflurry."

"Alright."

He orders my stuff and a mcflurry for himself.

We get the food.

I dig in.

"Thank you" I say with a mouthful of food.

He laughs and says "you're welcome."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

I finish my food and fall asleep watching the scenery around me.

I wake up as Tobias pulls into the driveway.

I groggily get out of the car and unlock the door to the house.

I walk to the couch, half asleep.

I curl up on the couch and drift off.

I wake up halfway up the stairs.

I immediately realize the arms.

I kiss Tobias' forehead.

"Hey" he whispers.

"Hi" I reply.

We get to our room.

"Did you pay the babysitter?"

"Yeah."

"Did you feed the girls."

"Yes, Tris. I did everything. Go to sleep."

"I don't.... I don't wanna-"

I yawn.

"I think you do, babe."

"I need to shower though."

"You can shower tomorrow morning. You're fine."

"But I don't want to sleep by myself."

"Who says I'm not gonna be here?"

"You still-" Yawn. "You still have to change." I finally get out.

"It'll take me 2 minutes. I promise. If it really bothers you, you can try to stay up for a whole 2 minutes more."

"Okay."

I'm just about to pass out when I feel the other side of the bed dip.

I turn and face the other way.

He kisses my forehead.

"Goodnight. I love you."

"I love you too, Tris."

I snuggle up into his arms.

After about 5 minutes, he whispers "Tris?"

"What?"

"Are you pregnant again?"
