•TOBIAS•

I wake up slowly, stretching and yawning. I turn on my side to find a naked Lauren. I rub the side of my neck.
She opens her eyes and whispers to me:
"I know about your father and I know the secret you're keeping from everybody."
I gulp and scratch the back of my neck.
"I don't know what you're taking about,"

She giggle and leans towards me.
"Yes you do. Now if you tell your girlfriend or one of your little friends that I drugged you or did anything against your will, then I will tell everybody what you didn't want anybody to know,"

I'm still so drugged I can barely move, let alone think. She climbs on top of me and begins kissing my neck and my chest.
As she works her way downwards I hear the front door unlock. I'm frozen in place and cant talk properly.

•TRIS•

I'm having lunch with my brothers in the compound. Uriah and Zeke both have huge slices of Dauntless cake.
Uriah pulls out a flask and pours some strong smelling alcohol into each of our cups. Me and Zeke make eye contact.

"Tris,"
"Zeke," I reply.
"You need to tell him," I groan.
"No I don't,"
Uriah looks annoyed. And confused.
"Tell me what?"

"Tris is-" Zeke begins.
"Shut up,"
"I thought you'd want me to tell him," I send him a disapproving look.

"Umm Uriah now don't be angry,"
"Angry about what? You guys aren't telling me anything!"
"I'm pregnant," He looks shocked.
"You're pregnant?"
I nod guiltily.
"As in you, my little sister, are having a baby?" Zeke rolls his eyes.
"Yes dumbass,"
He leans towards Zeke and whispers:
"So it wasn't a food baby then?"
"THATS IT!" I launch myself across the table and hold him by his collar.
"I am pregnant, not fat!"
He gulps but doesn't apologise. Little shit.

"Umm what's going on here?"
Shauna, Marlene, Lynn and Will begin sitting down at our table.
I let go of Uriah who rubs his neck dramatically and groans in 'pain'.
"Umm guys I have some important news,"
They all turn towards me, probably not expected me to say anything worthwhile.
"I am having a baby,"
"Like as a plan for when you're 30 something?" Shauna looks the most confused.

"No guys as in now. I am pregnant," Well that certainly caught their attention.
I sit down. Marlene wraps her arms around me so tight I can smell her floral perfume and Shauna rubs my shoulders.

"Can I feel the baby?" Shauna asks. I now have quite a noticeable bump so I nod.
I take off my brothers jumper to reveal my tight black shirt underneath which only makes my bump more obvious.
Multiple sets of hands begin feeling my belly, including Lynn which surprises me.
"It's a miracle child!" Uriah exclaims.
"Yeah but who's child is it?" Will finally speaks up. He was being weirdly quiet.

"Umm it doesn't matter but I do want to tell him. I just don't know how." They all nod in understanding.

I mean four had his whole life planned out. An instructor, having an office job, buying his own house. But no part of that plan included him becoming a teen dad. He was reluctant to even get a girlfriend.

"You need to tell him. It's his child too," Lynn is being the voice of reason.
"Yeah. You know what I'm going now," I grab my handbag and stand up, pulling my jumper back over my head.

•URIAH•

I'm going to feed this baby so much Dauntless cake. It's going to be like a little Michelin man.

•SHAUNA•

She's younger than me and already pregnant. And not married either. Damn I wish Zeke would propose to me. I'm so happy for Tris though.

•MARLENE•

I'm so worried about Tris. She seems scared and doesn't know what to do. I'll offer her loads of support though and hugs!

•LYNN•

I'm gonna teach it how to shoot. And steal.
I also know it's Four's baby. I mean they are the worst liars ever. They sneak away all the time and aren't very secretive about where they go on dates. I've seen them in restaurants all the time. Damn it was kind of stupid of them though.

•ZEKE•

It's amazing about Junior, it's going to be the luckiest baby alive and so spoilt by its aunties and uncles. I am going to beat the shit out of whoever knocked her up though. At least it wasn't Al. I hated Al. I mean we all hated Al.

•WILL•

Christina already told me so I pretended to look surprised. She can't keep any kind of gossip secret. It almost killed her having not told anybody and it had only been 2 days. But also by Tris' behaviour and health it was quite obvious. To any scholar worth their while.

•CHRISTINA•

Should I paint my nails red or black? Or pink. No not pink. But it would suit my colouring. Ahh but hey have the nicest blue in today. And in two shades.
I wonder where everybody is. Should I be worried? No probably not.
What I should be worried about is yellow or grey? Ooh but the peach would match my new dress. Damn this is such an important decision.

•TRIS•

I walk towards the office where Tobias works. I know he's supposed to be there. When I arrive I knock on the door and some tech guy opens it.
I look around for Four but he isn't there. Maybe it's his lunch break or he's at the toilet?

I notice his friend sat by his empty desk.
Was it Jack or James? Or... Jacob!

"Hey Jacob," I'm standing next to him now.
"Oh Tris hi!" I forgot how enthusiastic this man was. "How are you today?"
"Umm good but I'm looking for Four,"
"He called in sick today but talk to me," he pats Toby's empty seat and I sit in it, swivelling round to face him.

"I know about you two," I pretend to look confused.
"I know about your relationship. Trust me that man is head over heels for you an he has admitted it on multiple occasions. In fact I'm pretty sure he wants you to be his serious girlfriend, like tell your brothers serious,"

This is news to me, so I carry on listening.
"So he was asking me for advice and I gave it to him. I said that he should talk to you about your brothers and maybe become serious. Then he was all "but I love her" and I was like "well then you have to tell her!" So yeah. Then he wasn't here today so I assumed he was with you. Was I wrong?"

"No he isn't with me. But back to the love thing,"  We haven't said that word to each other yet.
"Well I'm like 99.999% sure you know? Anyway you should go find him. You are perfect for each other!"
"You think?"
"Oh definitely! But whilst we're on the subject could I maybe have Lynn's number?"
"Umm sure I guess,"

I give him the number and thank him.
"Oh no problem," he says. Despite the fact they're complete opposites I think he and Lynn would be great for each other.

As I'm walking down an empty corridor I bump into Tori. She's got her hair in a bun and is wearing a... dress?
"Oh Tris hi!" She exclaims.
"Hey. Umm have you seen Four anywhere?"
"I don't think so. Actually whilst you're here can you take the night shift on Wednesday?"
"Sure, no problem,"

The night shift is when drunk Dauntless come asking for stupid tattoos because of dares or fun. Great. I don't mind though. Tori always takes shifts for me and works around my schedule. It's the least I can do for her.

"You look nice by the way,"
"Really you think?" She blushes.
"Oh definitely!"
"Thanks Tris," She pats my shoulder.
"You're going to be a great mom,"
I gasp loudly.
"How did you know?"
"You were sick at work the other day. I'm just assuming sorry,"
"Don't be sorry. You're right,"
"Anyway I've got to go!" With that she walks off quickly, her skirt flying as she turns the corner.
Like I said: weird.

I carry on walking until I reach the front door of Four's apartment. I knock twice but nobody answers. It's unlocked so I let myself in.

"Four? Are you there?" I shout. It's pitch black in here and I can't see a thing. My fingers reach for the light switch and I stumble before switching it on. It's then that I see them.

"What. The. Actual. Fuck?!"
