Divergent One Shot

Everyone would always tell you how lucky you were to be with Eric, and that you were the one person who had actually managed to get him to act like a normal human being,

You'd transferred to Dauntless along with your brother a few years back but whilst Four was bickering with Eric, you were growing quite close to him.

It had taken your brother a good whilst to adjust to the fact that you and Eric were together, but he eventually learnt to deal with it.

Of course, you and Eric had had your issues but the two of you were still a strong couple.

You'd been to the faction clinic as you'd been feeling relatively nauseous as of late and your suspicions had been confirmed – you were pregnant.

A part of you was absolutely terrified to tell Eric because you were unsure of how he was going to react but the part that scared you more was having to tell your brother.

Despite Four having accepted yours and Eric's relationship but he still didn't take well to comments about what went on behind closed doors.

Just as you were rounding the corner from the clinic, you were grabbed behind and a bag was thrown over your head.

You were aware that you were being moved somewhere – the fact that you had been thrown into the back of a truck, and then pushed out onto a gravel floor let you guess that much.

The people who were handling you were rough, and you were sure you'd come out with bruises the next morning; you had to only hope that you'd get that far with whatever was going on.

When the bag was pulled off of your head, it took a moment for your eyes to adjust to the bright lights but when they did, you realised you were in some form of hi-tech lab.

It looked as if it belonged in Erudite.

Your suspicions were confirmed when Jeanine Matthews stepped into your line of vision.

"Hello Mrs Coulter," she greeted you with a fake smile on her face.

You rolled your eyes at her. "Why have you dragged me here Jeanine? My husband has complied with everything you wanted him to do – we're your allies!"

She scoffed. "You're not here because of your husband my dear," she stated in a seething tone. "It's about your brother."

You frowned at Janine's comment. "My brother hasn't been around recently."

"Because he's been trying to destroy me and our plans my dear."

Your expression must have been confused because Jeanine sighed as if talking to you was a chore.

"And you are to be used as leverage," she told you before she whirled out of the room.

Soon enough she returned but with Four trailing behind her.

Your eyes lit up at the sight of your brother, but you soon began to panic when he didn't recognise you.

Reaching out to him as he stormed towards you, you winced in pain as he shoved you away and to the floor.

"Four! Stop it!"

The words fell on deaf ears as your older brother continued to push you down every time you managed to get up again.

"Tobias! You're my brother, please, stop this," you pleaded with him desperately, but he only kicked your abdomen causing you to curl over in pain.

Your mind went straight to the baby in your stomach and so you went into protection mode – he was not your brother and you had to protect your child.

As you continued to try to fight your brother off, you scanned the room for an exit.

When you spotted it, you grabbed a metal table leg from the floor and whacked your brother over the head with it.

Jeanine looked at you in shock and then her eyes turned to the unconscious Four on the floor.

Whilst she was distracted, you headed straight for the exit and thanked your lucky stars that it was open.

It wasn't until you opened it, however, that you realised exactly why it had been left open.

Peter, one of the transfer initiates, was stood there with his gun pointed at you.

"Of course, you'd try to escape," he seethed at you.

You sighed, holding your hands out to him. "Please Peter, you need to let me out of here."

He scoffed as he shook his head. "You really think I'm that stupid?"

"You've never been stupid Peter," you stated, trying to appeal to his ego. "You should have been top of the class and I told Eric that, you know this."

He faltered slightly but still had the gun trained on you.

"I'm pregnant Peter, I haven't told Four or Eric yet," you quickly explained. "Just think of how grateful they will both be to you if you let me go."

You could tell that your words were getting through to him – all Peter really wanted was the acceptance of Dauntless, he had been a major pain in the ass with a very big ego, but he was suited to Dauntless in certain ways.

As soon as Peter lowered his gun, you pushed it out of his hands and made sure to kick him to the floor.

You didn't look back as you ran out of the compound, hoping to see at least one person you knew could help you, but you were unlucky.

The only thing you did see, however, was lines of the Dauntless initiates with guns in their hands and walking as if they were robots.

Trying your best to follow them, you soon found yourself in your old compound of Amity which was not a welcome sight considering the memories you had.

Once you were there, you spotted your husband up at the front of the line with a couple of the other leaders.

Making your way over to him, he spotted you and pulled you away from the crowd quickly.

"What on earth are you doing here?! You know that you can't be here."

You pulled him into a hug, not knowing what to say but only thankful that no one took him either.

"You should be at home."

"Jeanine's men dragged me to her lab," you whispered in his ear. "She told me I was bait for Four and he came after me."

Eric's face contorted into shock as he pulled you into his arms. "She's used it on him too, that's why he did what he did."

You nodded in acknowledgement and then looked up at him. "This isn't how I wanted to tell you Love, it really isn't," you told him, and a confused expression came across his face. "You're going to be a Father, and we need to save our baby's Uncle."
