Tris POV(6 months prego, january)

I stayed home from work today. I didn't feel too good. I'm laying on the couch when someone knocks on the door. I slide off the couch and hobble to the door.

"Beatrice," My mom says when she opens the door. I hug her, then realize the small girl standing next to her. She looks familiar. She has a tiny hooked nose, deep blue eyes, and soft brown hair.

"Who's this?" I ask. My mom bites her lip.

"Mom," I say. She sighs and guides the girl inside my apartment.

"Sit," She says. I sit down on the couch and she sits across from me, leaving the girl standing in the living room.

"This is Jenna, I found her among the factionless." She says.

"So?" I ask.

"She's Tobias's sister." She says.

"Tobias doesn't have a sister,"

"Did Tobias tell you Evelyn is alive?"

"A while ago yeah," I say, starting to get suspicious.

"Well, she had the baby, and it's Jenna. She's eleven. I didn't know how to tell you or Tobias, and I need help." She says.

"Okay, um, why don't we get food and discuss this over lunch. I'm starving," I say. We get up and leave. Once we get to the cafeteria, we find a table and sit together. I don't know how to tell Tobias.

Tobias POV

I decided to go home for lunch. I walk into the apartment and Tris isn't here. Just then, she walks through the door.

"Hey sorry. I was eating lunch." She says.

"Oh, I thought we could have it together."

"I can have more. I'm hungry," She says, laughing. I smile and pull her towards me.

"I love you," I say.

"I love you too," She stands on her tip toes to kiss me. A small knock on the door interrupts us.

"I'll get it," I say. I walk to the door and open it. A small girl in baggy clothes stands there. Once she sees me she smiles.

"Tobias?" She says, barely audible.

"Who are you and how do you know my name?" I ask.

"I thought I'd never see you," She says, wrapping her small arms around my waist. I turn to Tris.

"That's Jenna, she's your sister," She says. I stand there in shock.

Tris POV 

Tobias stands there, with Jenna's arms around his waist. My mom peers around the doorway sending an apologetic smile my way.

"Jenna, can you come here?" I ask. She walks solemnly over to me and sits on the couch. Tobias comes and guides me into the hallway, away from my mother and Jenna.

"Tris, what the hell? Sister?" He says.

"Calm down. I just found out. My mom didn't know how to tell us."

"My mother never said anything about a sister."

"Well, she looks like you." I say.

"Alright, It's just- hard to take in." He says. I wrap my arms around him.

"I'm sorry you have to go through this," I say into his chest.

"Well, let's go," He says, grabbing my hand. We walk abck into the living room where my mother and Jenna are talking. Jenna's face brightens when Tobias and I walk in.

"Tobias," She gasps.

"Look Jenna, this is all new to me, I just need to get to know you." Tobias says.

"Okay, whadda you wanna know?" She says.

"Well," He sits on the couch next to her. "How did you know about me?"

"Well, My mom, Evelyn, our mom, would always talk about how brave you are. You got away from Marcus, is it? I don't know but she really admires you. I wanted to be just like you. So, I wanted to meet you. When Natalie came one day, I asked her who you were. She asked why. I said I was your sister. And I'm not lying. I'm no candor." Her sense of humor is just like his.

"I only see one picture of you. I wanted to see the real you." Tears well up in my eyes. This is so sweet.

"Well, I'm happy to be your big brother. You can visit me anytime," Tobias says with a smile. He leans in and hugs Jenna. A small tear falls from her eye. 

"Come on Jenna, let's go home," My mom says. She wipes her tear away and follows my mother to the door.

"Later bro," She says, laughing.

"Later sis," Tobias says. Once the door shuts, I hug Tobias.

"Are you alright?" I ask. 

"Yeah. There's just one weird thing that's bothering me," He says. I look into his deep blue eyes.

"What?"

"Her name was supposed to be Rose," He says. I smile.

"Hey, can that be her middle name?" Tobias asks, pointing to my stomach. I smile.

"Of course," I say. I brush my lips to his and apply pressure. It feels amazing to be with Tobias, and I wished it never ended.
