They're Only ➵ Chapter 44

First of all, Happy New Years! I just wanted to thank you for a good Wattpad Year even though 2016 itself sucked butt. Anyways, this year is for the final book of the It's Only series to come out and finishing up some unfinished projects on here. Then, a really long break. Let's start this year out right! And I know this is overdue so don't kill me.

I love you all and Stay Dauntless (Those are for the ones who've known me since I first started. Comment if you remember that.

[Tobias] 

I got the call when I was half asleep. Susan's water broke and they wanted me up there before things got too hectic. I was nervous and not for the fact that she was going to have a baby. But, for the thought of seeing Tris. I haven't seen her in a long time, and I've been giving her the space she wants but it's so painful. 

Time and time, I told myself that I wouldn't get attached to people because they would walk out of my life. Just like when my mother died, I didn't want to feel that pain anymore. But, Tris did the opposite, she forced herself into my life and I couldn't help but to latch onto her like a bug on someone. 

So, I got my stuff and got to the car as fast as I could so I can meet them up at the hospital. Caleb already said that she's 8 centimeters dilated and there is no way that I can meet them in time to see her before she starts pushing. He sounded so upset and frantic that I know that he needs someone there for him, because his father isn't there to calm him down. 

I am afraid that I will run into Tris, but of course that's her brother and she will be there. It will be awkward and I all I want is my Tris back, I want her in my arms again. But, we have to get so many issues down, that it's going to be a long and hard process. 

I arrive at the hospital in 20 minutes and I get addressed to the maternity ward from the front desk and Caleb texts me what room and family waiting area they're in. I take my time walking there, memorizing my lines on what I am going to say to Tris. "How are you?" "How's life?" "Can we talk things out." But, when I enter that room to see her sitting all alone in the large room and even in the most casual clothing makes my heart beat and my hands sweat. Leggings and a hoody that shows the most silky smooth skin of her stomach. Her colored hair pulled into a messy bun. 

She looks so stressed out. Normally, one would say that they're girlfriend is tired from staying up all night. But, one thing I've known about Tris is that she loves me with all of her heart but she'll be dammed if she misses an hour of sleep over drama. I clear my throat and sit beside her, my heart is in my throat and my stomach in my a*s, "Hey." 

"Hey." She says without looking at me and it breaks my heart. 

"Where is everybody?" 

"The gang isn't coming until later and my mom is in the back with Susan," She clears her throat and twiddles her thumbs, "Why are you here?" 

"Your brother called me." 

An unpleasant aura floats around us. Even if I'm sitting beside her, it seems that are chairs keep getting further and further apart. So, I decide to break the ice, "I miss you." Silence is deadly. I don't know what is worse, seeing those three dots in the Imessage or having it happen in person. She just nods her head and I take a deep breath leaning against the chair with my leg crossed, "Have you talked to Lynn?" She nods her head again. 

She taps her foot on the ground and I tune into the small noise of the television in the corner playing, the droplets of the old coffee falling from the old pot, the tic of the clock and the occasional screams or beeps coming from the hallway. I've always hated the hospital, its too much going on and it gives you too much to think about. 

"So-" 

"-Tobias the small talk is really killing me." Tris sighs, turning to me. This is the first time I've seen her up close. Her eyes are dull and not happy, she just has a resting pissed face, "What do you really want to say?" 

"You know what I want to say." 

"Well I can't do anything about that." She mutters and crosses her arms, turning away from me. I place my hand on her thigh but she brushes it off and turns away from me, "Tobias, you had your chance. I tried with you millions of times, even through high school. I wanted the best for you, we tried everything. Yet, you still couldn't get through your mind that I love you and I don't want anyone else but you." She sniffles. 

"Tris-" 

"Guy- Tobias!" Natalie walks from the back with a smile on her face, evident puffy eyes from crying earlier, "So good to see you. The baby is born." Tris is the first to get up and walk out of the waiting room, Natalie gives me a look and I can't help but to give her a solemnly look. 

I wash my hands before walking inside the room and when I walk inside I see a tired Susan leaning against the bed with her parents by her side, Caleb is in the bed and Tris is on his side. In Caleb's arms is a small bundle of blankets and  tears of happiness clouding his eyes. It's such a beautiful picture that I can't help but to yearn for me to have with Tris soon one day. 

"This is Tessa." Caleb whispers, handing Tessa to Tris. And seeing Tris gives me hope, it gives me hope that maybe that will be us one day.
