Tobias' POV
I walk through the forest stepping on branches and leaves. It's been 1 month. 1 month since Tris has left. 1 month since I've been looking for her. Sometimes I think that I should stop looking for her because obviously I'm not getting anywhere.
I keep looking for her though because I know giving up won't be an option. As I'm walking I see something blonde on the ground. I go to grab it and when I pick it up I realize 2 things. One, that this is Tris' hair and 2, I'm getting closer to finding her.
Tris' POV
I walk into the house after being with those stupid chickens for the 7th time. I have been here for 3 weeks now. I am now 2 months pregnant, but it barely shows. I get that knowing how small I am. Jared knows I'm pregnant and he says I can stay until I give birth atleast.
We have been getting closer even after only 3 weeks. Maybe he can help me stop thinking of, well you know who.
"Finally!" Jared says.
"Well sorry not all of us are experts at taking eggs from a chicken. Which by the way another one attacked me today," I say.
Jared just starts laughing to death and I slap him on the back of the head.
"Ow"
"Oh stop whining you big baby," I say.
I see a bunch of dishes in the sink and walk over to start clening them. As I turn the faucet on Jared asks, "what are you doing?"
"Cleaning the dishes. Duh, what does it look like I'm doing," I say.
He just smiles and shakes his head. As I'm cleaning a plate I hear his chair move and footsteps come towards me. I keep my head down concentrating on the plate.
All of a sudden I feel two hands on my waist and I gasp. I keep a hold of the plate, but stop cleaning it. "Shh," I hear. Jared presses his lips to my neck and stays there while I close my eyes. He moves his hands to under my shirt and I shiver at how cold his hands are.
He starts to kiss up my neck to my ear lobe then back down to where my shoulder meets my neck. He sucks on the skin right there and I sigh. He takes a handful of my hair and moves my head to the side to get better access.
He stops then brings his hands to the outside of my shirt and squeezes my waist then walks away. I stand there with mixed emotions I can't explain and after a while I finish cleaning.
~Time Lapse~
As it nears the evening I start to make dinner. This is the kind of thing I do to deserve my stay here. I make chicken, green beans, and mashed potatoes. As I finish setting the table Jared walks in.
"Something smells good," he says.
I smile and say, "well I would hope. I worked pretty hard on this dinner."
He laughs and kisses my cheek then sits down. I smile on the inside and outside and sit down with him. As we eat we make small talk, but then he brings something kind of personal up.
"So do you have a boyfriend back home?"
I stop eating all together and just stare at him for a second.
"I told you," I say. "I don't like to talk about my past."
"Right I'm sorry," he says.
"It's fine," I say.
When we finish dinner we both clear the table and help each other with the dishes. After that I go into my room and start to change into comfortable clothing. When I walk out into the living room I find Jared sitting on the couch.
He pats the spot next to him and I sit down.
"Sorry about earlier," he says.
"Jared it's fine. I just had a rough life I guess you could say and I want to forget about it. And yes I did have a boyfriend. I mean how else did I get this baby."
"One night stand," he says.
I slap him on the chest and laugh. He laughs to and after a while we just sit there in silence. Eventually I start to get tired and lay my head on Jareds shoulder.
"Tired?" He asks.
I yawn and say, "a little."
"I can fix that," he says.
He brings my head up and look me in the eye then beings his head down meeting his lips with mine. This is the only other guy that has kissed me other than, no I will not think about him. So I kiss back.
He kisses me with more force and eventually is on top of me on the couch. I put my hands in his hair and he keeps his hands under my shirt squeezing my waist occasionally.
After a while we both get tired and he stops kissing me on the forehead. He gets off of me and picks me up leading me to what I thought would be my room, but surprises me by taking me to his room. He lays me down on the bed and covers me up.
"Goodnight," he says.
"Goodnight," I say.
He gets up and I keep my eyes open watching him. I watch him take off his shirt and put a different one on. He gets ready to take his pants off, but catches me looking. I blush then turn over and I hear him laugh. He eventually gets in bed next to me.
He wraps his arms around me and kisses my forehead. I can feel his smile.
"I had a great day with you," he says.
"So did I Jared," I say.
He smiles and kisses me again then closes his eyes. After a while I start to close mine too. Maybe I can be different here. Maybe my child will have a nice place to grow up. And maybe just maybe, I'll find a new man to be with.
