Story Time (Divergent)

Chapter 8- Dinner/ Bed Time

Ok, so we're going back to the bed time story. It feels like it's been forever since I wrote about it. Seeing as that's the title of the story, 'Story Time', putting off the main point of the whole thing, just doesn't seem like a good idea. Know what I mean?

Getting back to the story, here's chapter 8

*I still don't own Divergent

Chapter 8 – Dinner/Bed Time

Christina's POV

When Tris and Four, yes I still call him Four even though he doesn't mind if we call him 'Tobias', come back from where ever they went, they came back holding hands and all smiley. I wonder why.

Soon after they arrive, I help the kids get ready for dinner. That means getting them cleaned up and helping them get their pajamas picked out for when they have to go to bed. I'm anxious to know what part of the story they're at. I hope it's the part where Will and I start to come into action. I smile at the thought before I'm interrupted my arm being shaken to get my attention.

"Aunt Christina, come on, Mom and Dad are waiting in the dining room. Dinner is going to be ready soon!" Jake says to me. I smile and pick him up. Boy, has he gotten heavier since the last time I held him. Jenna makes a pouting face, that not even I can resist, and I pick her up as well. Wow, both of them got heavier. What has Four and Tris been feeding them.

"What have your parents been feeding you? You're both getting to big that pretty soon you'll be too big for me to pick you up." I say smiling and hugging them tightly. I mess up their hair that they fixed and make weird faces while doing so and that makes them laugh.

"Aunt Christina, how come you don't have kids?" Jenna asks. Where on earth did that come from? I think to myself. Then I realize that, what I thought I said in my head, was spoken out loud. The kids just stared at me.

"No reason!" They say in unison, as if trying to get me to forget that they just asked me that. I'll ask Will, Tris, and Four later if they might have an idea as to why they asked me that very random question.

"Well then, let's finish getting ready and go eat." I never really thought about having kids of my own. That is, until now. I wonder what Will would think about it. I'll have to ask him later on or tomorrow.

Finally, after everyone is at the table, we start eating. We all eat, talk, and laugh and having a good time. Well, all of us except Tris. She just stares at her plate and plays with her food with her fork.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Jenna asks

Tobias' POV

Tris has been quiet since we got back from having our little discussion. I wonder if it's about the thought of having another baby.

I'm not the only one that's noticed. "Mommy, what's wrong?" Jenna asks, concern covering her face. I look at her, then everyone else at the table. They all Have stopped talking and look at Tris.

She finally looks up like reality smacked her in the face. "What?" She says looking confused at every ones, including mine, confused faces.

"Jenna asked you what's wrong. You looked very sad." Said Jake, who still have a concerned face.

Tris looks down, and speaks softly, "I…" she starts then stops. Taking a deep breath she continues, "Nothing. I'm ok. Why does everyone have that look on their face?" She asks, look at everyone, who now go back to eating and talking about something else.

I lean over and ask her if she thinks we should continue the story tonight. She nods and that's all I get out her for the rest of dinner.

PAGE BREAK

When everyone clears their plates and I clean off the table, Tris and I go and get the kids ready for bed. It's 7:30 p.m. The usual time we get them ready.

Will walks up to me after we're done and tells me what Christina told him. "Christina told me that Jenna asked why we didn't have kids of our earlier. Do you have any idea why they would just come up and ask that out of nowhere?" He asks.

As if I have a clue. First Jake thinks that we love Jenna more than him, now they're asking Will and Christina about why they don't have kids. What is going in their little minds tonight?

I just look at him and say, "I have no idea. They've been asking questions out of nowhere today. First Jake and now Jenna? I don't get it." He just looks at me and nods. We go back into the living room with the others and take the kids to Jakes room. Last night, the story was in Jenna's room. Now it's being told in Jake's. We take turns on whose room we tell a story in.

We are all settled in Jakes room on the floor surrounded by pillows, just in case anyone falls asleep.

"Ok, where did we last leave off?" I ask the kids. I remember, but I want to see if they still do.

Jakes face lights up and says, "Dad left off at the part when you both met up will Uncle Uriah, Uncle Will and Aunt Christina" He finishes with a smile.

"Yay! You didn't past the part where we come in!" Christina says, almost falling off her pillow. We all laugh and finally we calm down so I can finish the story.

"As I was saying last night, before you two fell asleep, I brought them to dinner, where we soon met up with Uncle Zeke, Aunt Shauna, Uncle Will, and Uncle Uriah. I knew that your uncles and Aunt Christina would take care of mommy. To make sure she didn't do anything that would cause her to get hurt."

Looking over, I see Will and Christina smirking at Tris, who, jokingly, scowls at the two of them for trying to prove a point.

Will takes this as his cue to tell his part of the story. "That's right. We all watched our for your mom so she wouldn't try anything stu-" "Will!" I cut him off from finishing that sentence. The kids don't need to hear certain words at their young age. He takes my glare and realizes it as a hint to say something else.

"So she wouldn't try anything that would get her into any kind of trouble." He looks at me and smiles and I smile back in return.

"We all sit at the transfer table and get to know each other." The story goes on with what they did after dinner and on their first night in Dauntless. Soon, Christina tells about how the next day, they went into the training room and how I was teaching them to throw knives and shoot a gun.

8:30p.m. comes around and Jake and Jenna are starting to fall asleep. I take this as my cue to get everyone into the other room. We say good night to Jake, and take Jenna to her room and say good night to her. They head to the living room, but I pull Tris to the side and whisper to her, "I'm going to go talk to Jake. Explain to him that we love him just as much as Jenna, ok?" She nods and goes off with the others.

You all are very lucky! Two LONG chapters in two days. I surprised myself that I could write this much in the time period. Hope you liked it. I tried getting the others to tell their view of what happened during their initiation without basically telling every, single, detail, that happened in the book.

ANYWAYS. I'm probably just rambling, so I'll leave you with this chapter and see what you think about it, and what I should add in the next chapter.

Later :)
