Love at Divergent High

Chapter 55: Awake

That is when he opens his eyes.

“Daddy!” Eve squeals as she wraps her small arms around his neck.

“Hey sweetheart. I’m sorry for leaving you. I love you.” Tobias says before kissing the top of her head.

“I love you, too, daddy.” She says, kissing his cheek.

I look at him, shocked. He looks at me with a small smile.

“Eve, sweetie, can you go outside and find Zeke for a bit, I want to talk to your mummy?” He says. She nods and gets off him, running out of the room happily.

I sit on the edge of his bed and wrap my arms around my husband, crying into him.

“I was so worried about you. I thought you weren’t going to wake up.” I tell him.

“I wouldn’t leave you like that Tris. I couldn’t. I’m sorry, about Marcus and everything.” He says.

“You don’t have to be sorry. It’s not your fault.” I say.

“I love you, Tris. I love Eve and our baby as well.” He says, smiling.

“You know?” I ask, shocked.

“Yeah, I heard everything that everyone said. As soon as I found out that you were pregnant I tried even harder to wake up, but I couldn’t, not until now anyway.” He says, placing a hand on my stomach. I place my hand on top of his. “How long was I gone?” He asks.

“Three weeks before you were found. Then you were asleep for two days. So, I am three weeks and two days pregnant.” I say, smiling now that I know this baby will know his or hers dad.

“I love you, all of you.” He says.

“We love you, too.” I reply before kissing him passionately on the lips.

“Lay with me.” He says when we pull apart.

“Always.” I say before lying down next to him, he wraps his arm round me. “Are you in pain?” I ask.

“No, the morphine is doing a good job.” He answers.

“Good.” I reply.

“Where’s Marcus?” He asks.

“He’s back in prison, but this time it’s a more guarded prison, so he shouldn’t get out ever again. He’s in there for life now, so we don’t have to worry.” I tell him.

“I will always worry.” He says.

“I know. But we’re going to be okay, I promise.” I tell him before kissing his cheek.

We continue talking for a while, well, talking and kissing and laughing and hugging. Our friends come, bringing Eve and Ashton with them. We talk and laugh and hug again with them. Then they go home and I stay here, with my husband, my one true love.

“You should get some sleep.” I tell him.

“So should you.” He says, opening up his arms so I can lay with him again.

And that’s what I do. I lay with him and enjoy his warming presence for the first time in weeks. We don’t sleep straight away. We talk for about an hour before saying goodnight and falling into peaceful slumbers.
