a dauntless love

chapter 23

Fours POV:

***9 months later***

I wake up to the sound of water running. My eyes slowly open to the warm April sun streaming through the curtains. I roll over to give Tris a hug but the mattress is empty and cold. She must be in the shower. I sit up and stretch, and rub the sleep out of my eyes. When I open my eyes again, I see Tris stepping out of the bathroom with just a towel rapped around her. I give her a sleepy smile. "Good morning gorgeous" I yawn, "morning baby" she replies, wile turning back to her draw and grabbing out her clothes for the day. She's on maturity leave, since she's 9 months pregnant and her baby bump is huge. Her small frame only makes it look bigger, and I think it's cute. She's been very moody lately, and has been craving peanut butter, which she normally hates. "How did you sleep?" She asks, I realise I'm staring and grinning like a dork. I don't know how she does it but she always manages to make me blush. "Yea, how about you?" I ask back. She giggles a bit "yea, the baby was kicking all night so I didn't get much sleep, but its fine" she smiles warmly at me while I have concern written all over my face. "Why didn't you make me up?" I question "well its not like you could have done anything about it" she laughs again. I huff and get up. I grab a shirt, some jeans and walk into the shower, kissing Tris on the head as I walk in. She grins and turns back to getting her clothes out. I hop in the shower quickly and take a short, warm shower. It's getting cooler since it's turning into autumn. I get out, shave and get dressed. I walk out of the bathroom and into the kitchen, where Tris is poring two coffees. I take my element of surprise and tip tow up behind her, and rap my arms around her and berrying my head in the crevasse of her shoulder. She jumps a little before turning around and hugging me back, which it a little difficult because of her baby bump. I chuckle as she tries to rap her arms around me; key word, TRIES. She glares at me and hands me my coffee. As she grabs hers and walks around the kitchen ile mumbling stuff under her breath with a scowl on her face. "What?" I ask, "well, why don't you try carrying this thing!" She glares at me. She's really cute when she's mad. "Oh, baby, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you." I try pouting, giving her puppy dog eyes. "AGHHHHH you KNOW I can't stay cross at you when you give me that look!" She shouts, throwing her arms up in the air. I smile, "I know" and a go over to her and kiss her forehead, then her nose and then her lips. She smiles into the kiss, but pulls away slowly. "Your going to be late for work if you keep this up" she chuckles, and she's right, I slept in. "Ok, ok" smiling I quickly finish my coffee, grab my leather jacket, kiss Tris one more time, then run out the door, yelling "love you baby, see you tonight!" As I run out the door. I hear her laughing as I get further away, until I can't anymore and I suddenly miss her. But it's ok, I'll see her later

Tris POV:

"Love you baby, see you tonight" he yells as he runs out the door, making me laugh. I walk over to the door and close it. It's hard for me to walk now, with this huge baby bump, so its more like a waddle. I can't wait to have a baby girl! I walk into the nursery, its small but we don't need a big one right now. It has grey walls with black furniture. Pastel pink sheets in the crib and a pastel pink bunny sitting on the end. The floor its concrete like the rest of the apartment but it has a light pink, almost wight rug near the crib and changing table. I add a few last touches, like the ultrasound photos, and walk back out again. I have nothing to do so I decide to go over to Chris's house, she is also on maternity leave. Chris is having a boy and they are going to call him Kit, or maybe Zane, or maybe Alec. They really haven't decided yet. Tobias and I haven't really talked about names, though we probably should since I'm due in the next couple of weeks. I really like the name Sophie, or Mayha, but I think we'll know when she's born. I grab my jacket, because its starting to get cold, and try to put on my combat boots, I can't bend over because of my belly, so I just leave them undone. I grab my keys, lock the door and walk out. I head down the hallways towards Chris until I get to the pit. She moved in with Will, who's apartment is on the other side of the pit. I get halfway across the pit when I bump into someone. I look up and see Uriah. "Hey Uri!" I exclaim "TRISSY! How you doin'!" He smiles, "I'm going to see Chris, wanna come?" I ask, Uriah has Wednesdays off, so he's free today. "Yea, I was actually coming over to see you, this way I get to see TWO of my besties!" Throwing his hands up in the air, we turn and head to Chris's place.
