Pregnant in Dauntless- If the war didn't happen

Chapter six

•TRIS•

I sit at the chasm sobbing. I have two missed calls from Tobias. Four.
I gaze into the emptiness and the dark. Just a small step and it would all be over. But my baby doesn't deserve that. My family don't deserve that. My friends don't deserve that pain. Four does. He deserves all sorts of pain.

To think I loved him. That this beautiful child growing inside of me is half him. Will look like him. It breaks my heart.

Tears begin to fall down my face and I wipe them away with the back of my jumper. With my spare hand I dial his number.
He answers after the third ring.
"Tris? Are you okay?" He sounds worried.
"I'm at the chasm. I need you," My voice breaks.
"I'm coming," I can tell he's already heading over here.

I wait patiently, curling myself into a small ball, cradling my tiny bump.
"We'll be okay Junior. We'll be okay," I murmur to myself.

"Tris? Are you there?"
"I'm here," I sob loudly. He climbs over and wraps his arms around me, holding me close.
"I love you,"
"I love you too Tris," He rubs my shoulders.
"But why? I'm mean and I don't have a bubbly personality or awesome fighting skills and I'm not really smart-"

He cuts me off, chuckling.
"I love you because you're my sister and you're special. You're different and amazing and have your very own divergent personality,"

"Thanks Zekey."
"I don't care how sad you are! You can't call me that!" I laugh through my tears.

"But seriously Bea. What happened? Who did this to you?"
"Four," I whisper.
"What?"
"Four," I say louder.

"Wait what does four have to do with this? Last time we saw you, you were going off to tell the father... no. No. Is he the father tris?!" I can't tell if he's angry or sad or confused. I don't care if he beats him up. Four deserves it.

I nod.
"The bastard! But we'll come back to that. Why are you crying?"
"I went to his apartment to tell him and he was- he was fucking Lauren," I choke.

"No! I'm going to fucking kill that son of a bitch! First he impregnates my little sister and then cheats on her!" He stands up. I don't even try to stop him, only follow as he stalks towards the cafeteria.

The gang is sat at our favourite table, eating lunch and happily chatting.
Zeke grabs Four's collar and stands him up.
Shauna gasps.
Zeke pulls his arm back, almost as if in slow motion. His fist connects with fours nose and a crack echoes throughout the room. Blood trickles down his face.

"What the hell Zeke?" Shauna shouts. Four tries to back away but Zeke keeps a grip on him, throwing him onto the floor.

Uriah grabs his arm. "Dude What are you doing?"
"He's been sneaking around with Tris! He's been sleeping with our sister behind our backs and not only that but guess what I found out! He cheated on our sister! He fucking cheated on Tris with Lauren!" Zeke is almost spitting and his whole face has turned red.

Uriah looks about as angry as Zeke does. Four is still on the ground, obviously scared shitless of his two best friends.

•TOBIAS•

They both stand over me menacingly, angry as hell. I wipe the blood from my face and stand up.

"This isn't what you think!" I shout, holding my hands up in surrender.

"So you weren't sleeping with Tris behind our backs?" Zeke asks.
"Well no but-" He cuts me off again.
"And did she or did she not walk in on you fucking that whore Lauren?!"
"Well yes but-"
"Leave Four! Leave and don't come back!" Uriah shouts, shoving me out of the way. It's then that I see Tris hiding behind her brothers. Tears are rolling down her cheeks and Christina is hugging her whilst sending me threatening glares.

"Tris, I..."
"You heard what they said," She interrupts me, her voice trembling. "Leave and don't come back,"
"You don't mean that,"
She sniffs and crosses her arms.
"Trust me Four," she spits. "Yes I do!"

I back away, stumbling as I walk. My face hurts like hell. I can't believe my best friend actually punched me.

••••••••••••••••••• ONE MONTH LATER

•TRIS•

I'm around four and a half months pregnant now and my bump is mostly noticeable. I still cover up with large shirts and jumpers though.

The whole gang now knows Four is the father. But I don't care because we all hate him right now. We've only seen him three times, once at a Dauntless celebration where he was drinking alone; another time when we were getting tattoos and he was leaving and one time about a week ago where he was with Lauren.

Now that one hurt. We were all at the chasm drinking (Apple juice) and he walked by, Lauren by his side. She wore a revealing red body con dress and tall heels, face plastered with make up. Four had his arms wrapped around her waist, laughing at something she said. When they saw us they walked off quickly, probably due to Zeke's threatening looks.

I climb out of bed and pull on a black vest and baggy gray hoodie. I tie my hair into a messy bun at the top of my head and lace up my combat boots. I shove my phone and keys into my front pockets and walk towards work.

The bell jingles as I enter. Soft rock music plays from overhead speakers. Tori is with a customer so I do some paperwork.

A girl with green and purple streaks in her hair walks in and sits in my seat. I pull on some gloves and introduce myself.
She explains that she wants a huge tree starting from the bottom of her back. I prepare everything and begin work on it.

After half an hour I'm sweating heavily. Tori notices and points at me.
"You need to take that jumper off,"
I'm worried my shirt is too tight but I take my hoodie off. None of fours friends are here. There's no way he'd find out.

I carry on working on the tattoo for about ten minutes. When it's done I log onto the computer and tell her the price. She hands me some notes and I insert them into the cash register.

"This might sound rude but are you pregnant?" She bites her lip, obviously embarrassed that she asked.
"Don't worry I am," I answer her.
She places her hands on my swollen belly, smiling.
"Boy or girl?" She asks.
"I don't know yet," I think my appointment is soon.

"I can tell you're going to be a great mom!"

I hope so. I really hope so
