ANOTHER CHANCE (Divergent Story : After Allegiant)

CHAPTER 28 : Tale

Tobias P.O.V.

I look at her and answer, "Yes."

"Okay, let me start from the beginning, that of which I can remember anyway. I was here, you left already for work and I was busy making myself some coffee when I heard a knock at the door. I went to open it and I recognized one of the people as the one guard from The Bureau. I panicked, and shut the door in his face. Before I know what is happening, they broke the door down. I tried to put up a fight, but they were 4 guys. Before I know what is happening, I get injected in the neck. After that everything goes kinda blurry." she tells me, catching her breath.

"I guess is was memory serum, because I couldn't remember anything, not my name, why I was in this apartment, nothing. After a while, I wandered out the apartment and into the streets. Kind of stupid, I know. But I wasn't myself and didn't know what was going on." she continues.

I just look at her, she still sitting in my lap. "Anyway, I wandered a bit and I didn't realise that I wandered too far into the street. I started panicking and a truck came at me. I didn't react fast enough and would have been killed if it wasn't for Phillip. He saw me and ran at me, pushing me out the way. He saved my life in that second. A complete stranger risked his life for someone he didn't know." she says, looking at me again.

I feel so bad, I will never be able to thank this guy. He saved the most important person in my life.

"After he saved me, he asked why I tried to kill myself. I told him I didn't and I can't remember who or where I am. He took me to his home and helped me. He was very kind. He never tried anything and after a few days he decided to bring me back to the scene to try and help me get my memory back. After about 4 weeks or so I started to feel sick every morning. He took me to the doctor, where I found out I was pregnant." she tells me. I can see a tear on her cheek. I take my hand and wipe it away, trying to hold her closer to me.

"By this time I was really panicking. I was carrying someone's child and I didn't even know who's. He helped me by taking me everyday to where he found me and we just wandered around, trying to see if I can't remember anything. The worst is, I walked past this building twice." she says, tears are streaming down her face now. "I didn't even recognise it Tobias. I was so afraid that I was going to be alone with a child, no memory of who I was before."

"Then today we decided to make a quick stop at the coffee shop before we start again. And then you walked past our table and I just looked at you and it felt like I knew you. I saw your face, I could see you knew who I was, but trying hard to hide it. I could see the hurt in your eyes, and it took me by surprise that I could see such emotions from you and not from others."

"So you left the coffee shop and I told Phillip that I needed to go after you. I ran out to find you, hoping that I would find you again and...... yeah, that is where we met in the street." she tells me. She swifts and looks at me, "I have a few questions to ask you and I want a honest answer please." I give a faint nod.

"How did you find me? I doubt that you just wandered into that coffee shop. Why did you leave the coffee shop and me, even though you knew it was me? Why did you just walk away without talking to me?" she asks. I knew this question will come up, but I hoped it wouldn't. How am I going to answer this?

I look at her and take a deep breath. I turn my eyes to hers and answer, "I guess I need to give you answers now. The day you disappeared was bad for me. I just found out you never met Caleb and while I was on the phone with him I found a vial under the couch. Caleb later confirmed it was memory serum. I had Zeke, George and Amar search for you through police channels. Johanna did through official government channels and she could also get traffic camera videos. I was searching for you on foot everyday. I haven't been to work in 2 months, that's how long you were gone."

I take another breath and continue, "In this time, we made the case against the Bureau. Jason is most likely going to jail for life. They might also close the labs down. Anyway, this morning one of Johanna's contacts found you on a traffic cam going into that coffee shop. She phoned me and I left as soon as I could. When I got there, I saw you and some guy. My heart broke." I try to pull air into my lungs as I remember how I felt in that minute. My chest hurts....

"I went in and listened into some of your conversation. Then I heard something that nearly ripped my heart out......... you were pregnant. I thought it might have been his. I didn't think in that moment, just that I had to get away before I break down in the coffee shop."

I look into her eyes and say, "I really am very sorry. I though that you might have moved on with this guy and I couldn't let you see how much it hurt me."

She touches my cheek and answer, "There will never be anyone else. I love you, please remember that."

She gives me another kiss and I kiss her back with such love. I need to make this girl mine. I need to remove any threat against her and our baby and then I have to ask her to marry me. That will be my goal in this life. Make Tris as happy as possible, because if she is happy, then I am happy.

I love her so much. I pull away from the kiss and ask her, "Are you okay with having another baby?"

She looks at me and thinks for a few minutes before answering, "It is yours and that is all that I want. To be able to have your kids and no-one else's. So yeah, I am okay with this, if you are."

I give her a big grin and say, "Yes, I am. We will get through this together. I love you and I can't imaging my life without you or our child growing inside you."

We spend the rest of the afternoon talking about everything that happened and our future. I am going to have a future with this beautiful woman in my arms.
