I bite my lip. So that's it, then. We're going to have a baby.
"Well," I say. Tobias must sense something is wrong, but after a moment of thinking, it sinks in. "We're having a baby!"
Tears well up in my eyes, and I press my lips to Tobias's. He pulls away with a laugh, and I'm left puckering in midair.
"Tris," he says, "you're okay with this? I thought you had a meltdown a few hours ago."
"I know," I say, shaking my head. "I was afraid, and tired, and I just needed some time to realize how much we need this. It's a new chapter in our lives, Tobias. And I'm ready. I really am."
"That's.. that's amazing," he says with a smile. "I am, too."

"Hi, this is Christina and Will's place! Leave a message and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Or not. Bye!"
I giggle at Christina's voicemail. She sounds like a 12-year-old in it, and I find it adorable.
"Hey, Chris," I say. "Just wanted to call and let you know... I'm pregnant! Call me back right away!"
I hang up and scream to myself, stamping my feet quickly. I'm going to have a baby! Tobias's baby! This is perfect...
Tobias walks in from the living room, his face gray. "I just told my dad that my fiancee is pregnant."
"Marcus?" I ask. "How did he take it?"
"Horribly."
"Oh, Tobias, come here," I say, embracing him. He doesn't hug me back, he just stands there.
"What?" I ask.
"He wants to meet you," he replies bluntly.
Marcus Eaton wants to meet me.
I gulp.
