Stuck in the Middle (sequel to fearless leader)

Jessie

ERIC POV

Tina clutched her stomach hissing a few choice words I got up and went to leave

"Eric don't leave me" she whimpered it broke my heart to see her like this I went a kneeled next to her

"I'm not I'm just going to get Four, Tris and a midwife I would never leave you don't ever think like that your my wife and I love you just take deep breaths I will be back asap I promise" I kiss her on the head she nods before groaning in pain again I run out the room and bang on Four and Tris's door Four opens it

"What do you want" he asks annoyed

"It's Tina I think she's in labour" I say quickly Four nods

"TRIS GET A MIDWIFE TINAS IN LABOUR" he shouts

"Okay" Tris says running off me and Four go to Tina she has tears rolling down her face

"Tina take deep breaths" Four says looking in her eyes she controls her breathing before yelling in pain again suddenly the floor underneath her becomes wet just then Tris runs in with the midwife and doctors behind her

"Okay her waters have broken she's definitely in labour" the midwife says checking her

"But I still have two weeks" Tina responds she sounds pained

"Your baby should be fine it's not too early, Tina on the next contraction I need you to push okay" Tina just nods sweat is forming on her head I grab her hand but soon learn that was a bad idea she squeezes it and there is an audible crack my hand begins to turn purple she's broken it great but I don't mind "I can see the head get towels and blankets ready" the midwife orders

"Tina baby come on you can do this" I encourage she looks at me

"Okay just know we are not having another child because it hurts like a bitch" we both smile at her humor

"One more push Tina" the midwife tells her she nods I grab her hand ignoring the pain she squeezes it making it ten times more painful I wince slightly

"You okay Eric" Four asks noticing

"Fine" I answer through gritted teeth I didn't want to make Tina feel worse than she already did suddenly I hear a baby cry I look at the midwife she has a baby in her arms I can't help but smile she did it I look at Tina but she's passed out "Tina" I shake her she doesn't respond the midwife looks at Tina she passes the baby to one of the doctors

"Get an IV line" she orders "And get Eric's hand bandaged up" she says noticing my hands funny colour

"She broke your hand flipping heck" Four says shocked

"Yep that's the last time I hold her hand" I laugh "she is gonna be alright" I ask the midwife

"She's gonna be fine she's just passed out from lack of energy" I nod they take me the baby and Tina to the infirmary I get my hand bandaged up I go to the room Tina is in she is now sat up with a pink bundle in her arms I walk over to her and sit on a chair

"How you feeling" I ask she looks and smiles

"Fine, do you want to hold her" she asks I nod but she carefully placed her in my arms I was nervous she was so fragile I looked at her she had dirty blonde hair with blue eyes she looked perfect

"She's perfect" I smile at Tina she looked exhausted the midwife walks in

"Okay so here's your birth certificate your free to go" she handed Tina a piece of paper Tina stood up I handed Jessie to her she took her I placed my arm around her waist on the way back to the house but what we see is a surprise 

"Congratulations Tina" Marcus claps

"Eric take Jessie" she says sternly I take her and put her in her room that we painted and put her in her cot I kissed her on the head and walked out I stood next to Tina who was glaring at her dad

"Not even gonna let me see my grandchild" he questions

"What do you want Marcus" she snaps he shakes his head

"Show me some respect I am still your dad" he snaps

"Don't talk to her like that" I step in Marcus looks at me

"I'm guessing your her boyfriend" he says raising an eyebrow

"No her husband" I say staying calm

"Got married as well without my blessing" he taunts Tina clenches her fists

"I had my mothers blessing I didn't need yours" she replies in a cold voice

"What from the grave" he scoffs

"Nice to see you Marcus" Evelyn says appearing

"But your supposed to be dead" he stutters obviously shocked at the appearance of his dead wife

"I faked my death to get away from you now I suggest you leave" she responds he glares at her

"What if I refuse" he challenges Tina launches herself forward and punches him in the face he stumbles back but regains his balance he looks at Tina and punches her in the stomach she screams in pain falling to the ground I kneel down and make sure she's okay before getting up and punching Marcus repeatedly but Four comes in and restrains me

"As much as I would like him dead the last thing we need is to be wanted for murder of a faction leader" he says I get out of his grip I hear Jessie cry I walk to her room and scoop her up in my arms rocking her back to sleep I put her back in her cot she will have to grow up in a world full of war and possibly without us

"Eric" Tina snaps me out my thoughts "you okay" she asks wrapping her arms round my waist and resting her head on my back

"Yeah I'm just thinking" I respond

"About" she presses

"It doesn't matter" I don't want her thinking about the fact we are going into a war in a few months that we may not survive "you should go rest" I suggest she yawns in reply I turn round and pick her up bridal style I carry her to our room and place her in our bed tucking her in she fell asleep immediately I walked out the room and went downstairs

"She okay" Evelyn asks I nod getting a beer from the fridge just as I sat down Jessie started crying I groaned getting up I walked to her room but saw Tris calming her down

"Cheers" I thank her and walk back to my now warm beer I go to open it when Four sits down

"You seen Tris" he asks

"She's with Jessie" I answer

"Thanks" he gets up and walks off I open my beer and drink it I hadn't had alcohol in what felt like years but in reality only weeks.

Tina comes downstairs with Jessie in her arms "hey" I say she sits next to me "what's wrong" I ask searching her eyes

"Sorry" she mumbles

"For what" I furrow my eyebrows in confusion

"Breaking your hand" she laughs

"It's fine I'm sure you were in more pain" I respond smiling we laugh and joke around for a bit soon Jessie falls asleep we put her in her cot when we leave her room Tina turns around and looks at me mischievously she presses her lips to mine I lift her up and take her to our room shutting the door behind us.
