Divergent

Chapter 44

Four stares at me with tired eyes and quirks a smile on to his lips. Guilt forms in my chest and I rest my cheek against his shoulder.

"Sorry for keeping you up." I murmur.
"Don't apologize... You went through a lot, you're bound to have nightmares." He reassures and kisses my forehead. My eyes flicker closed and he runs his fingers over my back.

"Are you in pain?" He notices.
"A little." I admit and he immediately stands up. He leaves the room then comes back with a bottle of aspirin and a water bottle.

"Here." He says and hands me two tablets. I quickly swallow them and he climbs back into bed.

"When can I go back to work?" I ask.
"Not until you're all healed up." He replies.
"I don't think I can sit around and do nothing for a week." I sigh in frustration.

"We won't do 'nothing' then. We'll find movies to rent, crossword books, cuddling. Those always keep us busy." He chuckles. A smile forms on my lips. He leans down and softly kisses me. A loud knock echoes from the apartment door and he groans in annoyance.

"Why couldn't they wait until I got my first, proper, kiss in nearly a month?" He huffs to himself.

"I have to get dressed." I realize and start to get up.

"I'll pick out your clothes. You stay here." He says and quickly lays me back down. I roll my eyes and let him go into our closet. He soon comes back with a pair of his oversized sweatpants and one of my tank tops. I raise my eyebrows in questioning, but stand up and change into them. I have to pull the strings as tight as they go to get the sweatpants to stay up.

"Cmon." He murmurs and lifts me into his arms. I giggle and press a kiss on his jawline. He kisses my nose then sets me down on the couch. After wrapping a fuzzy blanket around me, he goes to open the rapid knocking against the door.

"God Chris, we heard you the first time." Four growls and she busts into the room. Her eyes rapidly flicker around the room until they settle on me. Her eyes are filled with anger and relief. Anger because I left without telling anyone. And relief because I'm surprisingly alive.

"You're such an idiot." She huffs and walks over to me. She pulls me into a tight hug and I roll my eyes as I hug back.

"Never do that again. Everyone was worried sick. You disappeared, then four disappeared, then Myra wouldn't let us invade their headquarters. No one knew what was happening." She frantically rants.

"Chris, I'm fine. So is four." I reassure. She finally pulls away from the hug and I look up at everyone else.

Uriah playfully pats my head and I glare up at him. "Four has his hands full with you, doesn't he?" He says with an amused chuckle.

"We missed you." Marlene states and quickly hugs me. She pulls away, soon replaced by Will.

"I missed you guys too." I admit.
"I'm glad to see you're alright." Will states and goes back to Marlene's side. Four sits next to me and links our hands together.

"I brought food." Zeke shouts as he enters the room. Four glares at him and he frowns, lowering the basket on to our laps.

"She can't eat anything unhealthy. The doctor said only nutritious things." Four pitches in for me.

"Don't worry, I supervised his shopping." Shauna states as she enters the room, "mostly everything in there is healthy."

"Has she eaten breakfast?" Chris asks four.
"Not yet, we were still in bed when you guys knocked on our door." He replies with a sigh.

"I'll make her eggs and toast." Chris exclaims and rushes into our kitchen. Everyone spreads out to either help her, or to find a good movie.

"Why is everyone acting so weird?" I quietly whisper in four's ear. He tugs me so his legs are on the coffee table and mine are over his legs. His arms wrap around my waist and he nuzzles his face into my neck.

"They're just worried about you." He murmurs. I sigh in his scent and he chuckles as I worm my way close to him.

"No pda!" Uriah shrieks and covers his eyes.
"Yea, there's kids around." Chris sarcastically states and puts her hands over his. I giggle and look up at her.

"Sorry, I haven't been near him for a month now. I think I deserve to show as much Pda as I want." I bitterly reply.

"True that." Shauna states and its across from us. She grabs the remote and turns the tv on. The beginning of a movie stars and I raise my eyebrows as Chris sets a plate of food in my lap. The smell immediately hits me and I dig in.

"Thanks." I mumble. She rolls her eyes and sits next to me and four. Everyone spreads out around us, and someone switched the lights off. Zeke draws the curtains and I smile as the movie starts.

Half way through the movie my stomach starts to feel queasy. I look up at four and he frowns knowing that somethings wrong.

"I'll be right back." I state and rush into the bedroom. He follows after me and I burst through the bathroom doors. I get to the toilet just in time to empty my stomach. His hands quickly pull my hair back and he grabs a barrette off the counter. After tying my hair up he rubs my back.

"Shh, you're okay." He murmurs and helps me up. I brush my teeth and he presses his hand to my forehead.

"I think you're running a fever." He says and rummages through the cabinets.

"Here, take your temperature. I'll be right back, I'm gonna tell everyone to leave." He says and kisses my forehead before walking away. My stomach ties itself into knots and I stick the thermometer into my mouth. The numbers slowly rise to 102.5 and I set the stick down.

"They're gone. Everyone sends you their best." He says and comes back to my side. He looks at the temperature then helps me back to the bedroom.

"Im going to call the doctor. Let her know what's going on. Try to sleep, I'll get you a bag just in case you can't make it to the bathroom in time." He worriedly states before leaving the room. He comes back with a bag in hand, and his shoulder holding a phone to his ear. When he hangs up he presses a kiss to my forehead and I frown at him.

"What did the doctor say?" I ask.

"It could be a number of things. You haven't eaten in a very long time, so your body isn't use to eating something as heavy as eggs. Or it could be a cold since your immune system is all over the place. She also said you could possibly be..." He trails off and I frown at him.

"I could possibly be what?" I expectantly ask.
"You could possibly be pregnant." He blurts out.
