Chapter 48

-Christina P.O.V-

After Four left, I started formulating a plan to reveal his innocence. I would still try to talk to Tris, but I wasn't confident that she would believe me, even though she knows that I'm a horrible liar. Will wasn't home yet and I needed his help. Even though he hasn't been an Erudite for a long time, he was still the smartest person I knew. He wouldn't have trouble coming up with a plan.

There was another person that could help. Jessie. She and Tris are close, and she ranked first. It seemed highly improbable that she wouldn't try to help me clear Fours name. At least for Tris' sake.

It was only two o'clock. After we dropped Tris off, Jessie said she was going back to the cafeteria. Perhaps she was still there.

I heaved myself to my feet. Grayson has been quiet today. My hand found its way to my bump, hoping for a response. There it was. A strong kick from my little boy.

I found Jessie as soon as I left my apartment. In fact, I think she was the one who found me, for as soon as she saw me, Jessie rushed over. I reopened my door and ushered her inside.

"You don't believe Four cheated either?" I asked as I turned around.

"Nope."

"So, what are we going to do?"

"I was thinking that we should go and see Doctor Hart. He's the only one who could possibly know anything besides that skank." Jessie suggested.

"Four already tried. The doctor is not here. And he won't be for two weeks." I told her.

"Damn." She was obviously trying hard to think of a plan that would actually be reasonable. After a while she looked up. "I guess that means we'll just have to do it by ourselves."

-Page Break-

-Tris P.O.V-

When I felt the hand on mine, I almost didn't open my eyes. I just figured that it was Christina checking up on me. But I quickly realized that the hand was too large to be Christina's. My eyes opened and there he was.

Tobias.

At first I was happy, but I soon remembered why I shouldn't be. He cheated on me. With Bella Lynn Sawyer. I guess one baby just wasn't enough for him.

I almost told him to leave, but the fact that he was even here silenced me. And Tobias had also started to speak.

"I know you may not want me here right now, but you're going to have to deal with it. Because I am not going anywhere." He said.

Those words almost made me jump in his arms and tell him that I believe him. Almost.

Just because he was here didn't mean that he didn't cheat. It showed that he had good in him, but that wasn't enough. I felt a fresh tear slide down my face at the thought of us never being together again. Could I eventually forgive him? What about our baby? His or her life was going to be so complicated. I closed my eyes, trying to squash those thoughts.

Tobias' lips brushed like my forehead, just like they always did when he told me he loved me or if I had nightmares. It almost felt the same. Once again, almost.

"I'll be on the couch if you need me." I felt his weight removed from the bed. He hasn't yet let go of my hand. "I love you, Tris."

He paused for a minute. Maybe he was hoping that I would say something in return. I couldn't bring myself to do it. I could tell him that I loved him and actually mean it, but I just couldn't bring myself to say the words.
