Song for the chapter: Done by The Band Perry

"I have some news." Will says. "It is about Tori. But I do suggest you and Tris hear it together, so maybe tonight y'all can come over and we can talk about it?"
"Sounds great." I reply. Will nods and leaves.
TIME LAPSE TO THAT NIGHT
I made steak and salad for tonight's dinner with Will and Christina.
"Daddy, what you doing?" Sally asks as I go to set the table.
"I'm setting the table, half pint." I say. Half pint is my nickname for Sally because she looks like she is half a pint.
"I help?" She asks.
"Absolutely." I reply. I pick her up and give her the place mats. She sets them down in front of each chair and I straighten them out.
She coughs onto my shoulder. She still has a small fever, but not bad enough to get anyone else sick. I give her one Motrin, and we go back to fixing up the kitchen.
SORRY FOR THE LIME LAPSES
When Will and Christina arrives, Tris has already gotten back home and taken a shower.
Will and Christina brought Christian and Morgan. Christian was holding Morgan till Morgan saw Sally and they ran off to play.
"Okay. We're here. Let's eat." Christian says. We laugh. Teenage boys.
"Girls! Come down!" Tris calls. The girls come running down out stairs giggling.
"Why do they always laugh together? I mean they laugh when they don't even talk!" Will sighs.
"I'm with you, bro." I say.
We all get settled at the table and start eating.
"So about Tori. Erudite just found a surgery that they're experimenting for people who are paralyzed. I was wondering if you guys want to try it on Tori." Will explains.
"No no no no. We are not putting an experiment on our daughter. She is not an experiment." I spit the word 'experiment' out like it is venom.
"Wait. I wasn't finished. I understand that, but if it doesn't work, there is be harm done to her. So if it works she could walk again, but if it doesn't, no harm done." Will says.
I look at Tris who is studying me carefully. She nods, saying she wants to try. I hesitate for a moment.
"If we do agree with it, who will be in the room?" I ask.
"Me, Caleb, Cara, and one of y'all." Will says pointing at us. That takes a little pressure off of me. Will will be in there, along wit Tori's Uncle Caleb and at least she knows Cara. And Tris or I will be with her.
"Okay..." I take a shaky breath. "We will do it."
