Resurgent: A Divergent Fanfiction

Chapter 51

POV

I lay in the infirmary for the next couple hours. Whoever this retarded doctor was, he or she was getting on my nerves. How did they even know me? I barely know anyone. Thankfully, Tobias sat with me to chat whilst I waited

There is finally a knock on the door.

"Come in." Tobias says.

A man walks in. He is tall, and wears a white doctor coat.

"Hello. I'm Dr. Caleb. You must be Tris. The nurse here called me over. She was concerned about your health."

I say nothing.

"Let me first check your heartbeat and blood pressure." Caleb says.

I sit up and he has me lay back down to check out my child.

He feels around my gut to check. I don't even know if that's what the doctor is supposed to do. He asked me questions such as, how long has it been that I've been pregnant. How much and what type of physical exercise do I do. Blah blah blah.

Caleb records down every answer I say.

"Can I have a word with you Tobias?" He motions him outside.

They walk out to talk while I sit and wait for what seemed like eons. Caleb finally comes back in as well as a rather serious looking Tobias.

"Well?" I finally ask. "How's the fetus?"

"I'm not quite sure yet. May I have your consent to look inject within you a needle that will show up your fetus on screen?" He asks

"Uh sure." I say. Tobias just sits nearby, his arms crossed. Wait isn't that just an ultrasound?

Caleb injects me with about 5 more formulas first. Each of which one causes some pain in my gut. I let out a small scream with each one as more and more pain occurs.

"What are you doing to it?" I wheeze out

"I'm readying your body for your 'internal check'" he says.

"You mean ultrasound?" Tobias speaks up.

"Err yes. I call it an internal check since it is more advanced than that of ultrasounds. " Caleb says

I glance at a Tobias, something seems a bit fishy.

Caleb injects the needle in to me and a sharp inner pain seems to slice around me. I scream before all goes black.

I had an odd dream while I was out. I envisioned these two older people, a man and a woman dressed in plain grey attire, waving and smiling at me.

I walk up to them, "Who are you?" I ask.

They just keep smiling and waving, "Who am I?" I ask.

They come and hug me. "Come with us Tris."

"H, How do you know my name?" I stutter

They shake their heads and turn around, walking away. But this time the man walks away with a baby.

"No wait! Bring it back it's mine." I chase after them.

I run into emptiness, and fall into nothingness.

"Tris wake up. Please Tris. Tris you're having a nightmare."

I shake awake.

"What?" I ask

"Hey it's okay." He takes my hand.

"What?" I ask "What happened."

"Hey Tris, take it easy okay you-"

I suddenly feel empty. "What happened to my child? Is it okay."

"Tris listen to me..." He says

"What happened to my child?" I say forcefully.

"Doctor Caleb asked me for consent. He said it was gonna kill you from the inside out cause you're not strong-"

"AND YOU AGREED?!" I scream

"Tris-"

"THAT WAS AN INNOCENT CHILD TOBIAS, HOW COULD YOU. I trusted you." I'm choke out the last part. I'm close to tears but still screaming.

"Tris you don't know who the father is, that thing could be a monster." He yells back "I did it for you."

"I can't believe you." I say quietly after a long pause.

I stand up and head out doors. I spent all that time taking precautions of people who might have injured me. Who might have back stabbed me.

He follows me. "Wait Tris!" He grabs onto my arm. I tense up.

"Let go of me." I say lowly with anger.

"Tris." He whispers.

"Let me go!" I say, tears pouring down my face

"No." He hardens up.

I slap him. He takes it and grabs my arm I kick, I thrash like never before. And my adrenaline took over. But he holds me down.

"Tris calm down!" He says taking all the scratches and rants. "Let me explain."

I glare at him. "No."

He firms up his grip almost to where it hurt pretty bad, then drags me into his room.

I take in a deep breath, "If you have any respect left for me, you would let me go." I say quietly.

He sighs, but he doesn't loosen, "Then I would never get to explain to you."

I close my eyes, indicating I don't want to listen.

"I'm a selfish man. I am a coward. I am not selfless."

"I don't want to hear you degrade yourself" I raise my voice, my eyes still closed.

"Okay. I did it for myself. Cause I'm a self centered asshole whose mind has been messed up so badly from memory wash nothing could mend or help. I thought I was okay but really I wasn't. I don't know who my parents are, I hate the world, the world doesn't particularly like me either."

"I am aware of this." I say in irritation.

"But then I met you. You opened up my eyes to the good left in all the innocent people who have no clue what happened 3 months ago. People who had no clue of what they were like before they became drunk baccanals. Your opened up my pride. And I know you don't want to listen to me now in particular, but when Caleb said the baby could kill you, I panicked. I couldn't let it. I wouldn't let it. I can't let you die. Your the only tie left with me remaining on this world."

"Whatever." I scowl."

He takes my hand in his. "Look."

I roll my eyes

"Just please take a quick glance."

I open my eyes a bit to take a peek.

He has the identical Four plus Six tattoo. He puts his hand in mine. I feel the groove marks in his bulky wrist.

My anger is temporarily sustained, "All this time... You, what how?"

"The past did it's mark." He sighs. "I'm so sorry Tris. I won't hurt you ever again. I don't expect you to forgive me anytime soon, but please, just stay. Perhaps let me make it up to you. You can beat me. You can throw knives at me. You can do whatever you want to me. I know what I've done is unforgivable."

"God I hate you" I scowl. "Don't expect me to forget this."

He killed my child. He gave consent. But really it was that no good doctor. Caleb. That son of a bitch. Perhaps I indeed had anger problems in the past, but Tobias has always been there. And somewhere in my mind clicked that I would speed up my recovery with him. Today was definitely not my best day. But indeed I had no clue where this child was coming from. Who the biological father was. And my anger is somehow sorta dispersed. Weird.

Wherever this Tobias kid comes from, I already have a feeling, of love and hatred towards him, That he confessed today. And I can't do anything else about it. Perhaps that is why so much of my fury poured out in tears instead of violence. Perhaps that is why I can put up with his backstabbing decently. Perhaps this just marks the end and the beginning.
