Resurgent (Alternate Allegiant Ending)

baby

Tobias pov:

"One last push Tris." The nurse says, and I smile. I look at Tris and she squeezes my hand.

"You said that five pushes ago!" Tris yells, and I choke on a laugh.

"I know, but for real this time." The nurse replies.

"YOU ALSO SAID THAT!" She screams, and I but my lip. I run my thumb back and forth over her hand, tying to relax her.

She keeps squeezing and squeezing, it's at the point that I think she might break my wrist, but that doesn't matter to me. I love her, and as long as this baby is okay, and that she is okay, she can break my wrist.

After a whole other hour, Tris seems like she's going to faint, or give up. This is a lot harder than Kayla, if I remember correctly. I don't think it took six hours, but, you never know, it's been a little while.

My baby screams and screams, and her eyes close, and they stay closed longer and longer each time she closes them. She has sent me to get her water and cake a few times. Of course, I get it for her, even though it hurts me to leave her while she is in this much pain.

She screams a little more, then gasps. Her eyes squeeze shut for a little while, and I hear the cries of my child. My newborn baby.

"It's a boy! What is his name?" The nurse asks. I smile. A baby boy. I look to Tris and she nods.

"Zayne Cory Eaton." I say, smirking towards Tris when I mention the last name. I look at the nurse, and she winks at me, then hands Tris the baby, and leave.

I, take the chance to get down on one knee and take out the diamond ring. Tris' exhausted eyes widen and she smiles.

"Beatrice Prior, will you marry me?"

"Yes Tobias!" She grabs the collar of my shirt and smashes her lips to mine. When we release for air, Kayla comes in, and snuggles on the bed with Tris, Zayne, and I.

We may have a rough life, but oh, we have a perfect family.

And it's going to stay that way.
