New Beginning

Chapter 13

TWO WEEKS LATER

"That's the third time you threw up today Tris." Dale says worriedly.

"I'm fine, it's just something I ate." I reply wiping my mouth with a cloth.

"Maybe you should... you know..Take a pregnancy test." He suggests and I freeze.

"N-no. I don't need it. I'm not pregnant." I refuse and make my way to the bedroom.

"Tris, please." He pleads following me.

"Dale, trust me, no." I say pulling out my phone and texting Christina if she wanted to hang out.

The past two weeks I have been spending time with Dale and Josie. I haven't talk to Tobias at all besides the numerous texts he has sent me.

"Fine." He storms out of the room in frustration and I sigh. Dale has been constantly worried about me the past few weeks and I keep telling him I'm fine.
I refuse to believe I have a chance of being pregnant.

Christina: I can come over in about 45 mins??

Christina texts back and I smile happy that she can come.

Me: Great, can u also maybe pick up a pregnancy test too?

I text back nervously. Maybe Dales right and I should try. Its not like I can avoid this situation. My phone buzzes and I look back down.

Christina: Your trying it? Have you been sick at all?

Me: I've had morning sickness for the past two weeks....

Christina: oh my gosh. I'll bring 5.

Me:thanks.

I sigh and toss my phone on the bed before running a hand through my hair. My head turns when I notice the curtains in the room lightly swaying. I walk over and look out the open window.

"You can't get me!" I watch Josie wiggles her fingers at Dale in the grass who crawling around chasing her.

"Bet I can." He teases back and she lets out a joyful squeal as he tackles and tickles her lightly.

"How did I become so lucky." I mutter to myself leaning against the window and continue to watch my two loves play around the yard.

"Come play mommy!" Josie shouts and I snap my attention to where she is staring amusingly at me from outside.

"Mommy's going to make some lunch. Chris is coming over later though." I yell back and Dale gives me a disappointed look.

"Aw okay." She looks away and I feel guilty, but I sulk back over to my bed and pick up my phone. One new message.

Tobias: tris, I saw Christina picking up pregnancy tests at the store, they obviously aren't for her.

My eyes widen at the message and I bite my lip. I know if I were pregnant Dale would accept the child as his own, but would Tobias want a part in the kids life?

My phone buzzes again and I look at another message.

Tobias: dammit, quit ignoring me. I know you are reading these.

I was debating wether or not to reply when I heard the front door open and close.

"I'm gonna go see if Mommys fine. You see if there's a movie you want to watch. Okay?" I hear Dale walk towards the bedroom so I quickly turn of my phone and throw it across the bed.

"You okay, babe?" Dale opens the door and peeks concerned at me.

"Yep. Why wouldn't I be?" I reply enthusiastically and I mentally curse at myself.
