What Next

21|"One Tough Son A Bitch."

(Warning- not proof read)

<Tris's POV>

Johanna walks up to us with despair etched all over her face. I sigh and figure out why she is coming. Johanna leads all of us to her office and when we arrive she finally starts to speak.

"I'm sorry, but we just can't have you here if you act like this," she claims. Tobias sighs.

"Please just let us stay for a little while longer," he pleads.

"I don't see why we should," Christina announces. I whip my head in her direction. Will drops her hand.

"What?" I ask in an angry whisper.

"I mean why don't we just go to Candor if we're being kicked out, besides they can aid us in war," Christina says.

"Hold on, let's think this through," Zeke says. "If we stay here we aren't involved in war for a while, if we leave you might as well slap the word dead on our foreheads."

"I agree, if we are welcome we should stay here," I suggest, looking towards Johanna. She sighs and looks down for a moment.

"I suppose if you behave you can stay, but you have three strikes then-" Johanna starts, but is infuriated by Peter.

"We're out, we get it, can we go now?" Peter complains. I roll my eyes and as we walk out I shake Johanna's hand and mutter a thank you. She nods her head in response. As we walk out of the office I take Tobias's hand and lead him away from everyone else.

We walk silently through the amity fields until we hit a small brooke. The water shimmers in the sunlight, but is numbing to the touch in this late fall weather. We sit on the bank and dip our feet into the water.

"Do you think there really is a war?" I ask Tobias.

"I just think that Erudite wants all the divergents dead, which defiantly leads to war," Tobias answers in a depressed tone.

"Until the war really heats up, do you think we can live normal here for a while?" I ask hoping he'll say we can.

"I think that's great idea, but you know Uriah and Shauna are going to want to look for Lynn and Marlene, not to mention we don't know where Hector is," Tobias mentions. I completely forgot about that slight detail.

"Maybe they're in Candor headquarters, Christina wants to go there anyway, I say we send her and someone else to Candor to see if the other Dauntless members are there," I suggest. Tobias nods his head and we sit by the brook for a while more before making our way back to everyone else. Once I see Christina I inform her of my idea and she and Will agree that they will check Candor for other Dauntless members.

The next afternoon we supply Will and Christina with food and knives in case the war towards the inner city is worse. We wave them off then return to our normal schedule. I have to admit, I'm very worried about Chris and Will. There is this constant fear that something is going to happen to them while they make they're way to Candor.

It was my idea after all to make them go to candor. If they died it's all my fault. Uriah notices my sadness and squeezes my wrist in reassurance.

"They'll be fine, I don't know about Will, but I do know Christina's one tough son a bitch, besides the fear of moths, pathetic wimp," Uriah mumbles the last phrase. I burst out laughing. Leave it to Uriah to make me smile even when worry is eating away at me every second that my friends travel farther.

An hour later I find Tobias near two swings with six young Amity children. Two of the six kids are playing happily on the swings as Tobias struggles to push them both. I'm surprised he's managing at all considering he also has one kid on his shoulders, two kids wrapped around his legs and one other child clutching to his stomach. Tobias smiles for the children, but I know that all he really wants to to is lay down.

I try as hard as possible to not be seen therefore ruining the moment. Watching from afar, I take notice on how natural Tobias has adjusted to the squealing girls and boys. The children are in a trance looking at Tobias's height and strength as he pushes the swings. Even Tobias looks giddy. What surprises me most is when Zeke comes around a tree in a very similar situation as Tobias with three kids wrapped around his body. Zeke gives Tobias a look that says he is not pleased at all. I take this as my time to walk out from my hiding spot.

"Awe, look at my two boys being all grown up," I say through giggles. Tobias smiles at me, but Zeke just playfully rolls his eyes and sticks his tongue out(as a substitution for the middle finger). I laugh at him some more.

"Alright guys go play with Zeke I've gotta talk to Miss. Tris," Tobias says before removing the children from his limbs. Zeke looks playfully furious at Tobias as the children squeal and run to Zeke. One child skips to me before going to Zeke. She tugs on my shirt and make me bend down so she can whisper in my ear.

"I like Mr. Four, he's funny and pretty," she whispers through giggles.

"I know," I say smiling back at her.

"You're lucky Miss. Tris," she announces.

"I know," I reply. Then the little girl skips quickly into Tobias's arms. He holds her up and kisses her forehead then pushes her towards a struggling Zeke.

"Go on Summer," Tobias tells her then walks over to me sighing tiredly. He takes my hand and pulls me to the ground with him breathing heavily. "We are never having more than four kids, six is too much," Tobias says. I smirk.

"Tired pretty boy?"

"Just a little," he says smiling.

"So you do want kids though, if we make it that far?" I ask him. Tobias turns and looks at me.

"We are going to live that far and don't you ever once doubt that Beatrice."

A/N I am so awful! I have not updated in like a month. Seriously so sorry.
