I hesitantly walk over to the gym with Tobias at my side. "Isn't Coach Amar gonna look at me all weird! I mean I can't do gym because I'm pregnant." I whisper into his ear, clearly concerned.

He sighs,"It's fine, no one is gonna bully you." He says back as we turn in. He goes into the guys locker room as I wait outside the door. My stomach hurts a bit right now, but I need to get used to it.

I close my eyes while waiting for Tobias come back, and here a group of footsteps. I look up to see Lauren, Nita, Cara and some other, excuse me, sluts. No, they deserve that name.

"Look what the cat dragged in! The biggest sl*t in the school! No wonder you're divergent, you don't fit in anywhere." sneers Lauren. I snort,"Looks who's calling who a sl*t! I'm making a baby with someone who loves me, not a one night stand!" I shoot back, and she looks a bit frazzled.

"Says the girl who's actually not even in love with the baby daddy. Everyone knows you just wanted to get in bed with him." She says. I literally laugh out loud when she says that. "What makes you think I don't love him? What do you think kisses to wake me up every day, helping me with everything, and giving me a child means." I scoff.

She searches her mind, but doesn't get words out until Tobias walks out. "Get away from her. You know I'll never love you Lauren. What do you think that baby means!" He growls through gritted teeth. She stomps off, screaming at the top of her lungs.

I just laugh as Tobias leads me to coach Amar at the field. "Um, coach? I have something to tell you." I say, and he turns is attention to me. "I can't really do gym, cause I'm kinda... pregnant." I reply quickly, my cheeks turning rosy.

"Really Prior!" He says, shaking his head. I swear he's trying not to laugh. "Why can't kids learn to use condoms." He laughs now, making me burst out giggling. It's not even that funny but I'm at the verge of tears.

Stupid hormones.

"Ok, Four, stay with her and you can just ru-walk a lap." He says to me. I nod and head off towards the track. Tobias meets up with me in a minute. "It's a fourth mile, I'll pick you up if you need it." He tells me, putting an arm on my shoulder.

"Nah, I'm still dauntless." I tell him, and he smiles a toothy grin. It's a bit chilly, so probably our last day outside, and I shiver a bit. Tobias notices and rubs my arms, making them warmer through the sweater. Suddenly, it feels extremely cold, and I shudder.

My legs seem to lock up and I fall down, staring into the sky, and I feel my body shaking violently. "Tris!" Tobias screams as I try to stop. My body won't let me. I see people gather around me, and Coach is on the phone. I register what's around me, but can't move my body from its violent thrashing.

I see Lauren snickering above me. She did it didn't she! My body is slowly getting better, but still moving. I try to calm it, and I finally stop, slowly sitting up. "T-Four." I stutter as I hug him harder than ever. I never knew the side affects of pregnancy would be this sensitive.

"I love you baby." He whispers. I smile and bury my face in the side of his jacket. "Excuse me, may I check your eyes?" A voice says from behind me. I turn, causing myself to sway and getting a mild headache, as a nurse tech comes.

"Open your eyes please miss." He says. I obey and he shines a flashlight at it, and it gives me a major headache. I quickly push back, into Tobias' arms, and hug him close.

"I'm sorry ma'am. May I check one more thing?" He asks. I slowly nod and turn back around. He puts hands in either side of my head, making me wince, then slowly moves it back and forth. It hurts really bad and makes my head pound.

"Ok Tris, it looks like you got a concussion. I advise going home with your, boyfriend, I assume, and taking these." He says, and hands me a bag with two different bottles. He walks off towards a vehicle and drives Lord knows where.

Coach Amar walks up as I hug Tobias hard, as if it will make the pain stop. "Ok, well listen to doc. I'll notify your other teachers." He tells us, and we walk to his car.

"Are you ok Tris?" He asks me, while helping me sit in the car. Seriously? "Why would I be! Your wicked friend tried to  kill me!" I yell at him, I guess a bit harsh. He puts up his hands in mock surrender, and hops in the car, shutting the door softly so it won't hurt my head. It did.

"Sorry, Lauren... Sucks.... Hormones.... Complicated." I put together. He nods, even though that probably didn't make any sense whatsoever. We only live a couple blocks from school. He soon pulls up in the driveway, and I wince as it goes up the curb.

"It's ok baby, I'll help you." He says. I nod and he leads me up the door. "Will Evelyn care?" I ask him. "She's at work today." He tells me.

"O-ok." I reply, and go to sit on the couch. I prop up a couple pillows near my back and head, and pull out the bottles. I have to take two of each. "Can you get me a water bottle?" I ask, noticing my voice is extremely soft. "Ok hon." He replies, jogging to the kitchen to grab one from the fridge.

I take out the pills and he opens the water bottle, handing it to me. I take them two at a time, swallowing them down. My naseau doesnt help, but I manage. "Do you need some soup and crackers?" He asks. I nod and he goes off to make me some Campbell's soup.

I grab the remote from the coffee table and turn on the TV. I look through the recordings and put on one of my favorite shows,"Big Brother."

It's a reality TV show. I hear a beep, and it hurts my ears. I sit up and drag a tray table in front of me. "Here you go Trissy-poo!" He sings, setting down a bowl of oyster crackers and a big bowl of chicken noodle soup. I give him a death glare.

"Don't ever call me Trissy-poo again." I threaten. He laughs, going to sit on the love seat. I put about half of the oyster crackers in my soup and start eating it. It's really soothing, and sends a warm feeling through my body. My headache is going down to a dull throb. Probably from the medicine and warm broth.

I eat up the crackers, noodles and chicken and drink the remaining broth, the calming liquid trickling down my throat. I put the bowl down, and wipe off my dripping cheeks. "Thanks Tobias. Can I sleep now?" I whisper, rubbing my baby bump.

"Ok, I love you guys." He says, leaning down and kissing my stomach. I laugh and lean down, wincing a bit, and snuggle into the quilt that Tobias retrieved for me.

I watch the veto competition on BB, and my eyelids start to feel heavy. I slowly drift into an anything but peaceful sleep.

I walk around the halls. My stomach is the size of a basketball, and it looks like seven or eight months. I waddle around, and see Lauren and her 'crew'. She looks up, and smiles. I slap her across the face, though I'm not sure I controlled my actions.

She doesn't say anything just pulls out a knife. I try to run, but can't move, my arms glued to my side. She aims it back, and is about to stab me, when I remember. It's just a dream. This isn't how school looks. The lockers are light blue, not dark blue. I take her hand and throw her back, and hear someone yelling.

Nita pushes me to the ground, and produces a knife. I scream, and she's about to plunge it into my stomach, when I see a hand wrap around her wrist.
