Fourtris Forever and Always

Chapter 29

Chapter 29:
Tris' POV:

After our nap, I start thinking about what Evelyn said earlier. She hated me, and then she loved me. It was like she was bipolar.

"Tobias?" I ask when he wakes up.

"Yeah Tris?"

"I don't think Evelyn meant what she said," I bite my lip.

"Of course she did Tris, why wouldn't she?" He asks with concern evident in his voice.

"Well, one minute she hated me and the next she loves me. I think she was only saying those things to make you happy," I explain.

"Tris, I'm sure she loves you. If she's being nice to you only to make me happy, that's not right."

"I don't know Tobias," I sigh, laying my head on his chest.

"Everything's gonna be fine," he kisses the top of my head.

"I hope so," I breath.

"It will be."

Evelyn's POV:

I hate her. I hate her with all that I have.

Time Lapse: 2 Weeks
Tris' POV:

We decided to go to dinner at around 5:30. I get a salad--yet again--and so does Tobias. It's so sweet that he's doing this for me.

"Hi Tris!" Chris exclaims.

"Hey Christina," I say.

"Do you wanna go baby shopping after dinner with me and Shauna?!" She asks, crossing her fingers.

"I don't know Chris, we don't even know the genders."

"We'll look at gender neutral stuff!"

"Go," Tobias says, "we need some stuff anyway."

"Yes!" Chris exclaims.

"Four!" I whine.

Everyone laughs.

As we eat we talk about random things.

When we're finished, Christina practically drags me away.

"Bye Tris! Love you!" Tobias yells after me, chuckling.

"Love you too!" I yell back. "Chris, I think you're bruising my arm!"

"Sorry," she says, not meaning it.

"Yay! Let's go!" Christina exclaims when we reach the baby store.

The same store I went in to get things for Trace. The back of my eyes are hot with tears, but I push them back.

"You ok Tris?" Shauna asks.

I take a deep breath, "I'm fine."

We enter the store and Chris immediately starts squealing.

"You sound like a pterodactyl!" I say, plugging my ears.

She glares at me.

"Where to first?" Shauna asks.

"Furniture!"

We look at all the furniture and I don't see anything I like. Shauna picks out a crib and a chair.

Christina keeps pointing things out to me and I shoot them all down. I don't know why I'm being like this.

Eventually we leave after Shauna gets most of the furniture she needs.
