Divergent No War

Chapter 8: I like shopping?

POV: Tris

I get up and decide to straighten my hair.

Tobias already left for a shift at the control room.

"Hey," Christina says walking in.

"Hey" I say smiling.

"Look at this," she exclaims lifting up her shirt a bit.

She's got a mini baby bump already.

"Wow Chris" I congratulate her.

"I know!" She squeals "I'm already 2 months in, how far are you?."

"1 month," I laugh.

"Do you get morning sickness a lot?" I asks.

"Two times every week pretty much" she replies.

"Yeah, me too. I also have stomach cramps and sometimes weird cravings," I chuckle.

She laughs along with me.

"So...," I trail off "We have the day officially off, what do you want to do?"

"Well" Christina pauses to think "Uriah and Mar are throwing a party at their apartment tonight so we need new dresses."

"Fine," groan.

"I knew it! You didn't say no to  shopping, you don't want to hide it, so I know your enjoying shopping with me now!" She giggles.

"Whatever you say," I roll my eyes.

POV: Tobias

I spot Zeke sitting at his computer in the control room already.

I sit down next to him. "Hey Four," he hollers.

"Hey," I laugh.

"I'm glad your here, I have something to ask you."

"How did you feel when you realized Tris was pregnant?" He asks indignantly.

"I was thrilled she was pregnant, I've always wanted a child," I admit.

"I've never really heard you talk about your feelings before," he smirks "Most of the time your always the oh so intimidating mysterious four."

"Shut up" I punch him in the shoulder laughing along with him.

"Well, anyways I asked you this because Shauna is pregnant too," he suppresses.

"I'm happy for you," I reply.

"Yeah I'm happy as well. But taking care of a child is a big responsibility and I'm afraid I'm going to grow up and turn into a old boring parent," he tells me.

"We're Dauntless," I chuckle "No matter what happens, were never going to be boring. We are only 20 years old," I insist.

"Yeah, I guess your right dude," he agrees.

POV: Tris

Tobias steps into our apartment

"Ready for the party?" He asks.

"Not yet" I tell him getting up.

I search my closet and find the black dress Chris and I just bought.

I slip it on and look in the mirror.

It has lacy straps and stops at the very top of my chest. It was slim and went a bit less than knee high length.

I take a deep breath and decide to keep it on.

I pick out black heeled combat boots and put them on.

Then I add the finishing touch: black diamond studs.

Tobias strolls in, his eyes widening at the sight of me.

My cheeks tint into a blush.

"Woah Tris," he compliments me "You look amazing."

"Thanks," I smile.

I slip my fingers through his and we walk out of the apartment.

***

Uriah and Mar's apartment is kind of small, but very cozy.

"Hey, love the dress" Marlene smiles.

"Thanks," I respond "I like yours too".

Marlene wears a black dress that ruffles out a bit at the bottom.

***

I pull my hair into a messy bun and slip off my dress.

I collapse on the bed.

"Tired?" Tobias asks.

I nod.

He lays down with me.

I glance over, noticing that he's payed over on his frontside.

I reach out, and trace the factions on his back. My fingertips burn at ever movement. It wasn't a bad feeling, but an enjoyable one.

Dauntless.

Abnegation.

Candor.

Erudite.

Amity.

I see his smile and I laugh to myself a bit.

He lightly kisses each of the crows on my collarbone.

I slip into his arms.
"I love you," he whispers.

Just before I drift off I whisper in his ear "I love you too"
