Chapter 17 – The Story Continues and Will's Question

Christina's POV

I hope Tris is going to be ok. If something happens, I don't know what we would explain it to the kids. Just as I thought about Tris, my cell phone starts ringing and it shows Tris' name. "Tris!" I almost yell into the phone. "How are you? Are you ok?" she tells me that she's fine, and that she will be at the hospital until further notice from her doctor, which I hope will not be long. Her kids miss her just as much as I do. Probably more though, because their mom is at the hospital and not here with them.

"Chris, can you get the kids, and put me on speaker phone. I have an idea." She asks, and I can practically hear the smile in her voice. "Ok." I pull the phone away a little. "Jake, Jenna come here it's your Mom!" I yell to them. They come running down the hallway and I turn on the speaker phone option. "Ok, Tris. They're right here. Say 'hi' you two." "Hi Mom!" they yell in unison. "Hey guys! I miss you. What are you up to?" She says. I start to zone out a little as they talk until I hear my name. "Aunt Christina, did you here Mom?" Jake asks. "What? Uh, no, sorry. What did you say Tris?" "I said, I'm going to try and continue telling them their bedtime story over the phone. What do you think?" she says. "Sure. Kids go get ready for bed, and we will head to Jakes room for the story." They run down the hall, full of excitement.

"Christina? Are the kids away from the phone?" I hear Four's voice this time. "Yes, why?" I answer. "Take me off speaker phone for a minute. I need to talk to Will about something." He says. "Um… ok… Will, it's Four. He says he want to talk to you about something." I say to Will while I stand there with a confused look on my face. He takes the phone and goes out of the apartment.

A little while later, he comes back and hands me the phone and put it back on speaker. "Ok, you're back on speaker. And the kids are waiting." I tell whoever is on the other end this time. "Ok Christina. Let's continue this story that was our dangerous lives as being initiates." Tris jokes over the phone. I laugh, hang up after I tell her I'll call to let her know we are ready, and head to Jakes room.

"Kids, let's go, it's getting late and passing your bed time." Will calls from Jakes room. I am about to get the pillows and blankets set up on the floor for the story, when Will comes up, and hugs me from behind and kisses my cheek. "Well, Christina. It looks like we, sort of, got a chance to see what life is like with kids." He says with a smile. Is he trying to hint something? I just looks at him with the same, small smile and ask, "What are you getting at, Will?" "Nothing." He says with a guilty look on his face. "Whatever you say. I'll get it out of you eventually." I say with a smile and kiss him.

"Aunt Christina, why are you and Uncle Will kissing for?" Jenna asks, making us break apart quickly. "Um, no reason. Come on now, get Jake and get ready over here on the blankets. I'm going to call your Mom when you two are ready so she can tell you the story." Jenna smiles and runs to get Jake.

"Chris," Will says with a somewhat heavy sigh as he takes my hand. "Yes, Will?" I just look at him, only to see they he's looking at doorway that Jenna ran out of. And he continues to look there for what he says next. "Do you ever think about… um… having kids?" He looks at me expectantly, and hopefully. Did he just ask me if I wanted to have kids? "Will, can we talk about this later, after they go to sleep?" I ask. I don't have a problem with this, it's just that it's so sudden of him to ask that. "Sure." Is all he says before he goes to make sure the kids are getting ready.
